the ungallant mariners left jaw as to
score a knockout. The Lady was fairly
oeluging her champion with expressions
OF gratitude and he was solicitously in
curing II her fingers were dislocated,
when Mr.. Davis returned from dream
Iand and gave him into the custody Of
a convenient policeman But when the

BOY, was pronounced not guilty Of
ngnting with K. Kabaha, the bad little
japanese boy, and then K. Kabaha
was fined IS for fighting with ]. To-
moka- kabaha never advertised him

Joseph Declune, accused of stealing
a oroiled chicken and a roll of butter
from the Eddy-street restaurant in
wmfh ne was employed as a dish
washer displayed an emotionalism as
ne stood before Judge Fritz that
would lead to fame and fortune for
the hlsrionic artist who could simu-
late 1t at will. He wept so copiously
that his ragged beard was dripping,
while his chest and shoulders heaved
conVulsively. 1t was for his fiancee,
he sobbingly explained, that he pur-
Iolned the dainties. She is passionate
~ fond of ''pullet on the iron lavishly
basted with odorless butter, and his
pIunder was intended as a love offer
ing. He almost shrieked his despair
when the court ominously limited that
conviction would probably be followed
by sentence to penal servitude, and he
almost swooned with excess of Joy
when Clerk Duffy reported that the
prosecuting witness had neglected the
1ormality of filing a complaint. And
his dismissal was received with hys-
terra of mingled chuckles and sobs
that faded away in the corridor.
Patrolman Collins had a small.
neatly folded package in his hand as
he informed Judge Cabaniss that A.
Paladini was arrested for attempting
TO sell one silver bass whose avoirdu-
pois was below the legal minimum Of
three pounds. To clinch his charge,
he added. he had seized the fish and

the case was closed. the defendant
pronounced guilty and $50 fine i'm
posed.

said that he had started out to escort
his wife on a shopping tour and
walked until he was very tired, while
she displayed not the N1ightest syrnp-

upon one of the benches beneath the
shadow Of the St Francis until she
completed her purchases, and while
seated there he dropped into slumber.
Story doubted, but case, dismissed.
Harry Smith, elegantly appareled
and carrying a silk hat, was similarly
charged by Patrolman Maloney, who
testified that the defendants shores
made the square vocal.

informed Judge Mogan, ''and uncon-
sciously dropped into the arms of
Morpheus
And then you awoke to find your
seluf in the arms of Maloney," pleas
antly remarked his Honor. Go
home"
John Clark, who was so difficult to
awaken that the vigilant Maloney
searched for a hidden knife or bullet
wound, could not remember just what
impelled him to WOO the drowsy god
upon the sward of Union square.
Eighteen years ago he had an cpl
leptic Mt and maybe that had some
thing to do with it. Plea ridiculed
and twenty-four hours prescribed.
