The publisher OF New York magazine
recently caused the arrest Of an Office boy.
The case was taken to the Jefferson Market
police court, but at the hour app ointed
tho publisher was unable to be present.
He arranged to have his sister attend and
ask to have the case held over until he
could appear.
The young lady had never been In such
a place before and had a horror Of the
situation, but, strong In conscious recti-
tude, she took seat in the court room to
await the calling of the case.
Being nervous lest she should hear some
thing unsuitable from the cases OF DRINKS
and disorderlies that were being called,
she took rear seat. There, however, she
could distinguish nothing that was being
said. In her dilemma she arose and sought
IN the back Of the court room.

my own case il calledp"
Looking down on her With the discrimi..
mating gaze, he completed her mental
prostration by asking:

weeks when Sam Shubsrt was killed in q

Two cats have taken up their abode In
the manhole leading from the Aston place
subway station to the pipe conduit on Fourth
avenue. The animals amlise themselvet
by sitting near the third rail on the down
town local track until train comes near
Then they dart into the manhole and peel

All efforts to get them to leave the tracks

The ingenuity of the man who ia sale
to have write en- to Joseph Jefferson asking
him to interpolate in his awakening scene

by merchant in Hester street who has {
