1t was Signor Palechi's second ar
raignment on the charge of violating
the license ordinance, the first one
having resulted in his dismissal with
a warning, a fact of which he was
gently reminded by Police Judge Mo-
gan.
"Malatesta," was the rejoinder.
"Whatta da diff, Ell? Sella da stat
no maka da mon lack sella da feesh.
Catcha da feesh-maka da stat, Ell
Paya da lice an be brok ALA da time,
Ell? Ha, hal. Notta mooch! No.

The Judge explained that. his func-
ton was not to make laws or repeal
them, but to aid in the enforcement
of such laws as were operative. Re-
grettable as was the non-eXemption of
art works from taxation by license,
such taxation must be obeyed by the
court until it is wiped from the or
dinance book.
Inquiry developed the information
that Signor Palechi's endeavor to ele-
vate the art standard of this mater
ialistic city consisted of his manufac-
ture at home and offering for sale
abroad miniature plaster images of
personages famed universally or To-
cally. His collection of molds en-
abled him to turn out exact counter
feits of Napoleon Bonaparte, Mrs.
Carrie Nation, Garibaldi, Young Cor
bett, William ]. Bryan, Aguinaldo and
May Irwin. He was preparing casts
of Battling" Nelson and Mrs. Chad
wick, but was uncertain as to whether
he would finish the former.
Case continued till January 6.

bat and it's effect upon a mercurial
public, temperament was visible in
three of the departments, Judge Con-
Ian being the only member of the
magisterial quartet v7fI0 was not re-
minded of the great battle.
Judge Fritz had the csc of Michael
Alden, a little Swede, who bet and lost
on Nelson and then was twitted on
his lack of discretion until he as
sailed two of his tormentors. "Ay
ban feel-an sore,' he informed the
court, "an' two fel-lahs yust talked at
may till ay jumped them an was
pinched." He was fined IS for fight
ing.
Frank Johnson, also Of Scandina-
Wan birth and prediction, was fined
a like sum by Judge Cabaniss for dis
turbing the peace of a Market-street
car on which he was riding ferryward
after the fight. So provoked was he
by the exultation of certain Britt par
tisans that he smote one of them and
was in a fair way of being slaugh-
tered when the policemen rescued
him. "Ay ban one fole toe bet" he
said, AN ay bay one odder fole toe
fight"
Nels Nelson lost this months wages
because Of the great little Danes in
ability to beat the native son, and then
he borrowed 81, which he spent for
intoxicants until he was so drunk that
he offered to tie one hand behind his
back and with the free member en-
gage Patrolman Curtis in any style
of boxing the officer might nominate.
He was dismissed by Judge Mogan.
Il had a hunch that Britt would
win" said Miss Nora O'Connor to
Judge Mogan, "and had $40 ready to
bet on him when Lena Larsen told me
the fight was fixed for Nelson to get
the decision. Well, Judge, you know
how the scrap ended and 1 guess you
can imagine my feelings. / may have
taken a few drinks, but was not
looking for Lena and telling everybody
l was going to kill her. Anybody who
was in the dance hall before this DO
llceman came in can tell you that I
was feeling too sore to say anything"
Miss O'Connor was permitted to
wear off her sickness of spirit in free
dom.
Robert Erskine was watching the
newspaper bulletins from the ringside
and commenting thereon, his criticism
being freely punctuated with expec-
tCrations upon the bystanders as we'll
as the roadway, when Patrolman
Krack snaked him out of the inter-
ested throng and booked him for vio-
lating the anti-spitting ordinance Dis
missed by Judge Fritz.
Thomas Brennan, a race horse
fancier, went out to the ocean beach
to ascertain how Britt looked and felt
on the eve of battle and found the
shifty lightweight splashing in the
surf, while a great throng, divided as
to sex, stood and admired. Disrobing
on the spot and neglecting to don a
bathing costume, Mr.. Brennan leaped
into the billows to an accompaniment
of feminine screams and was disport-
ing in way that eclipsed James Ed
wards best natatorial stunts when o
