81 wonder what that poor fellow has been
arrested for?' is often asked by pedes-
TRANS when prisoner is seen at patrol
box in custody of policeman.
If the policeman is asked for bill OF
particulars the chances are that he VIII
not give any information. Policemen do
not try their cases on the streets, and the
answering of one question IS always GER
tain to lead TO another The asking ana
answering of one question after another,
the police realize. means a virtual trial OF
the case and 1t is for this purpose that
the Judges Of the Police Court are appointed
Many person who has attempted to in
tcrfere with cases on the street in this way
has come to grief and had expensive ex-
periences in court the next morning.
1T is always best to attend to your own
business" such people have been told by
the Police Court Judges, and then you will
keep Out of trouble
Such interference has frequently caused
lights in which several persons have par
ticipated. Small-szed riots have followed,
and the police have had to resort to vio-
lence many times 1t is not for the police
10 decide such matters, and they have been
told so many times. Pedestrians, however,
seem so much interested in cases that they
insist upon trying them in the manner
stated instead of allowing the law to take
it's course and the prisoner dealt with IN
court. Intricate legal questions frequently
present themselves upon such occasions.

the courts in several days.
policemen are supposed to be Versed m

Jury" the judges remark when such cases
are brought; land the court is going to eX-
pect much less of them. If they make ar
rests and are able to present their cases
,,voperlv before the court. that Is all that
Is expected"
People who see a policeman with man

any idea of what the prisoner has to pass

in that fervor and complete abandonment
to feeling seen in the performances of those
who have won distinction in the title roles.
On the stage at least art is greater than
nature. Miss Mimic is an actress of no lit
tie promise. Ten years hence her Juliet
may be something worth seeing. She may
hot look the part so well, but she will
certainly act il better.
After lying on the shelf for over twenty
eight years Donizetti's tuneful opera, Don
Pasquale," was given at Covent Garden
this week, with Victor Maurel as Doctor
Malatesta and Gilbert the Don. The
occasion drew a crowded house, which in

has been taken. With the Juveniles there
is an improvement upon the way in which
the general run of prisoners are treated
they day they are tried. With the old Of
tenders the Victims are hustled out of the
stations into the prison and driven to
the Police Court, where curious people

them as they walk from the vehicle to the
Building Some of the hardened prisoners
abuse themselves by making remarks to
thu curious crowd, and there is no power
in 1.-THE world that will prevent 1t. In the
court building they are herded together
in the cells as If they were so many cat
tie and the punishment in this ordeal Is
enough and more than sufficient for the
offense charged against some of them. The
Juvenile has none of this Objectionable part
of the treatment. He goes to court in
comfortable vehicle that is covered and
has none of the signs of the prison van.
Inside the vehicle is officer and when
there are any females in the party the
matron has charge. In court they are
given seats far from the cell room, and
here they await their turns to appear be-
fore the court for trial. Very few of the
minors reach prisons, but many of them
are turned over to the care of the board
of children's guardians. The older prison
ers who are sentenced are detained In the
court cells and given a cup of coffee and

the plain DRINKS" are turned out to go
tEeir way. If the prisoner IS not an old
offender he feels the humiliation and asks
that he be permitted to wash and make
himself presentable before returning home.
The old offender, however, has no time to
waste In this way, and hurries off to a
place where he thinks he may be able to
get a "bracer." If he does not return be-
fore the expiration of twenty-fOur hours
he considers himself fortunate Many
of them return so frequently that they
finally become Migrants, and make their
homes in the workhouse.
1t is the man who is professional crook
that finds life in a police station what
he makes it. Such is true to considerable
extent of almost every person who is &C
cused of dishonesty In such cases 1t is
truly a matter of giving a person a bad
name, and the comm unity will do the rest.
IF he will steal from one person. the
police say, "he does not mind robbing an
other"

Columbia Theater.

Tomorrow will usher in the third week
of the popular company at the Columbia
Theater. The play will be Mrs. Dane S
Defense" by Henry Arthur Jones, who also
wrote The Case of Rebellious Susan" pre-
sented the opening bill. Mrs. Dane s
Defense" has never before been seen in this
city. 1t was originally produced by Mr..
Charles Frohmans Empire Theater Com
pany. which included Miss Margaret An
gin and Mr.. Guy Standing. 1t was in the
part of Mrs Dane that Miss Anglin gained
her first notable achievement.
The new leading lady of the Columbia
Stock Company, Miss Charlotte Walker,
has Joined the company and will be seen in
the part of Mrs. Dane. 1t is predicted that
she will become one of the most popular
actresses ever seen with local organiza-
ton. The leading male character, that of
Sir Daniel Cartaret, was created by Mr.
Guy Standing and he will again be seen in
this part. All the other members of this
popular company have won individual sue
cess since their stay here and they will be
cast to advantage in this weeks produce
ton.
The story is a strong one and concerns
Mrs. Dane, woman whose intrigue with a
man has driven his wife to suicide At the
opening of the play she is living In a snail
English village where she falls in love with
Lionel Cartaret and Is desperately loved by
him. Her story is discovered by Mrs Bull
som-Porter, who is jealous of her and who
hires a detective to confirm the reports.
Sir Daniel Cartaret decides that Mrs Dane
must give him a detailed account of her
past life. She does this and her story
seems logical until the famous lawyer be-
gins to cross-eXamine her. The tolls tight
en- about her and at last it breaks In on her
that she is lost. Lionel is persuaded to give
up Mrs. Dane and she to leave the village
while a1rs. BulsomP Porter is forced to sign
a retraction of her charges, which every
one knows to be true.
Special scenery will environ the produc-
ton of Mrs. Danes Defense during the
current week.

nothing more serious finds himself up
against the police game strongly as If
he had committed some henious crime. That
he is unfortunate enough to put himself IN
such position is his own fault, and that he
has TO be dragged from the street and driI-
Ell TO a police station is purely a matter
OF duty with the bluecoat. If business is
dull and there are not many guests in the
station the drunk is given a cell to him
self, bat it sometimes happens that there
IS a full house" and then he has to share
his sleeping quarters with others. 1t is
sometimes best for the drunk that he
has room-mates. for then there Is no dam
ger of his being placed upon an iron bench,
from which he may roll off and get killed

The Columbia Theater stock company
has never had circumstances more In its
favor than this summer. The weather has
been such as the manager prays for, and
the company has from the very first per-
Torrance stood high in the graces of the
playgoing public. Mr.. Guy Standing was
on familiar ground in The Second in
Command" the play being one of the many
which he has materially though unobtru-
sively assisted on the way TO success. Mr..
Standing has gift quite rare in actors,
that Of self-effacement. No one ever ex-
pected 10 a part badly performed when
Mr.. Standing was east for 1t. Yet he never
stood forth and electrified the audience at
the expense of the recognized star Mr..
Standings work here proves that this rigid
subordination was matter OF artistic con-
science, for he has assuredly held the cen
ter OF the Columbia stage for the past two
weeks with entire ease and efficiency.
A comparatively unknown quantity will
be introduced in the stock company to-
morrow night when Miss Charlotte Walker
assumes the leading feminine role Miss
Walker has been seen here on several &C.
casions with Mr.. James X. Hackett, and
the parts she has played have been as re-
sponsible any of the feminine roles that
any of his melodramatic presentations at
forded The promise given by Miss Wal
ker's work on these occasions, together
with the assurances of those who have
seen her later performances make her sue
cess almost a foregone conclusion.
The young men and women of the Car
roll Institute Dramatic Club every now and
then come forward TO offer convincing
proof that the professional stage has not
monopoized the genuine talent. Their per
formances ring true even TO the ear of the
habitull playgoer. even though they are
given under the disadvantages which neces
sarily attach TO first night with no OPP
portunities for revision the season pro
crosses The presentation of Secret Serv

felcitation for them and coincidence fol

rieuce difficulty in finding people OF genuine
