There was but one lone lorn lndi-
vidual to face the bar of justice tins
morning. This same was the gent
who caused the heart failure at
headquarters yesterday, when the
Finest found $40 in hard cash on
his person. He told the banner
story of the season. He said an old
gentleman of his neighborhood adj
yised him. as cure for rheumatism,
to gel. good and drunk. He follow
ed the hoary old sinners advice but
strange to relate, this morning he
had all the after effects of drunk
and the rheumatism as well. We
opened up a new register this morn
ing and as the rheumatic gent was
the first to inscribe his John Doe,
we made him a special rate of $500
and costs.

can beat getting drunk all by your-
self and the next morning you have
no one to reassure you that you had
good time.
