DENSMORE TYPEWRITERS

hard to make the affair brilliant sue cess and their efforts have been emi- nently successful.
 The finance committee, with Waiter S. Gilbert as chairman. has met With much success in their efforts to raise the funds for the banquet among the cit izens, and in every case their demands met with a ready response.
 Dr. Joseph S. Winters will act as toast master and no more fitting choice could have been made as the doctor is famous for his pleasing personality and ready wit.
 The presentation to Dr. Ragsdale Will be made by Capt. H. W. Crook, and ms selection for this important duty IS a guarantee that 1t will be well done
 Representatives have been invited, among them the gentlemen of the Board of Revenue and several others. The ban auet will start at S3O o'clock and by this means the gentlemen to come from any distance will have ample time to reach the city.
 Those that attend the banquet have In store a rich treat as some of the most brilliant orators in the state will respond to toasts and the toastmaster has made up quite a list.
 The banquet itself is a pretty eomph- ment to pr. Ragsdale, as it proves more than words can express the high esteem in which he is held by the people or the district.

Personal and General.

An important meeting of the Bessemer Athletic club will be held tomorrow even ing at the Rebie hall, and every one ln- terested in the movement Is cordially h. vited to be present and express his views.
 The membership committee, consisting of Sidney Marks, chairman, and MT. Mc- Cornell and II. N. Freeman, have made a thorough canvass of the city, and there are but few instances where those that originally subscribed their names have re- fused to take q membership in the club.
 One of the main objects of the club Will be to promote interest in physical cul- ture and at the same time have place where one can go and spend an enjoyable evening" When the club is finally formed suitable quarters will be procured ana an excellent gymnasium will be provided. In addition to this there will be read ing rom, where the members can go and take their friends for an evenings pleas ure.
 pr. George Waller deserves great deal of praise for the hard work he has be- slowed upon the proposed club, and haa 1t not been for his untiring effort the pos sibility of giving this city an up-to-date athletic club would have been very re- mote Several attempts have been made during the past few years for the for nation of such a club but every enort has failed. Everyone interested Tn the move Is determined that this time there shall be no failure.

Police Committee Named.

Mayor Sullivan has appointed his police committee and the following gentlemen win serve: I. A. Lewis, chairman; and Messrs. Ross and Thomas.
 No more fitting selection could have been made. as every one on the commit tee is thoroughly familiar with the work ings of the police force. The appoint ment of MT. Lewis as chairman is par ticularly a fitting one, as he is one of the best posted men on municipal af- fairs in the city.
 Aldermen Ross and Thomas have had a great deal of experience in this line Of work, and the city is to be congratulated on having such men as these at the head of the police force.

In Police Court,

We did do some business yesterday and we are glad to say that the day passed off in fine style.
 While there was not very much do- ing, still business was enough to satisfy everyone, and his honor handed out pack ages that would do credit to ten-cent store
 Robert Thomas had a chance to tell what he knew about gambling in all its forms, and the story as recited by him did not seem to appeal to the judge to marked extent.
 He was caught red-handed in the act of shuff1ing the dice, and the only reason he could not make a fade for seven-elev- en was because he did not have long enough time.
 He was going a few when one of the officers walked up on him and called his hand. Robert played well but not wisely, and the result was that he was fined S2 % and costs for having been caught with the goods.
 Now for J. T. Dill, also a man of some color, and a good deal of heat. He miss ed the mark and came into town and sap ped up enough stuff to float the Maine, even though the channel in Havana har- bor is supposed to be pretty deep.
 J. T. could not understand why any man could not drink as much as he pleased and have all the fun he wanted, especially after he had dug up ten cents per. He tried to inaugurate new order of rough house, and refused absolutely to go to the round house with the officer when requested. This last step proved the undoing of J. T., because he was carried there by main force.
 He was extended an invitation to pay S45 and costs, or else do time on the gang for the number of days that would be equivalent to. The prime cause of the heavy fine was his refusal to be nice to his better half. He has quaint and pie turesque habit of beating his lovely help mate every time he arrives home in a bad humor and he had one of his worst spells yesterday He got in the Lamp lighters class and proceeded to use the only family lamp over her head.
 She stated in court this morning that she was not sure. but she thought she was suffering from concussion of the brain. His honor advised her to get a shotgun from Morton's and he would see that easy terms were made for the pay ment of it. and whenever the old man came home on the warpath for her to inject couple of doses of No. shot, and he was sure they would have the desired effect.
 As we go on down the line. we find Mony Robertson. female. but if she did not wear skirts, we could not be so sure that she could be included In the ever rag chewing class.
 Mony was arrested for vagrancy pure and simple. and her appearance in the court was ample evidence that the claim advanced by the arresting of
