THE CITY COURT
Angelo Rocco Fined $50 and
 Costs This Morning.

Angelo Rocco, Marie Alfono and Gaetano Colello may blame the beef trust, after all for having them before Judge Burpee in the city court to-day, the first charged with keeping a house of doubtful repu- tation, the second with being a res ident of it, and the third with be- ing frequenter. If Gaetano, who had worked hard all day had not tackled 6 10 cent steak that kept him busy from half past one to 4 o'clock last Sunday the police may not have arrested the trio. But three and a half hours was an un- considerable time for anyone to be busy with a beef steak and the po- lice then got to thinking and the arrest of the trio was the result.
 Rocco keeps restaurant in George A., Upham's building, corner of Mattatuck and West Main street. is an eight family build ing and the restaurant is on the ground floor. When Sergeant Ca- hey took his first peep at the interi- or last Sunday, the girl abo c named was in the rear part of the premises, engaged in fixing her raven locks, and the two men were at a table in front. Such were the facts of the case.
 As for the reputation, that was testified to by Officer Claffey, Me- Lean, Callahan, Stevens and James F. Murnane. an inspector for the trolley company.
 On the other side, there were Mr Upham, M. A. 0Hara, a plumber, Rocco and Colella. hocco said there was nothing wrong in his place and Colello testified that he was eating a beef steak in the res taurant from 4:30 to o'clock.
 Was 1t large or small steak?', he was asked, and Colello's answer "A leedle one, 10 cents"
 It was shown that Rocco was be- fore the court on the very same charge and that he was fined $50 and costs then, two years ago. He was fined the same amount to-day and he took an appeal.

TRESTLE IN PLACE
Down Train Held While Bridge
 men Finished Work.

The train due in this city from Winsted at 2:41 yesterday afternoon did not pull into the new temporary station until shortly after o'clock. The delay was caused by the build- ing of trestle over the Manhan, during which time the train with it's half dozen coaches had to remain on the north side of the canal. The new trestle connects the Watertown and Torrington branches with the main line.
 The old tracks were used up to the last moment yesterday afternoon consequently there was no chance to start on the trestle while the low tracks were in use. But immediate ly after the last train had gone over the old rails, shortly after II o'clock, the bridge gang under the direction of Superintendent c. s. Lake started right in on the new trestle. The men did not stop even to eat and erected the trestle in a surprisingly short time.
 The passengers on the coaches were simply crazy with indignation, but they had to grin and bear it. The crowd at the station waiting to go to New York and Bridgeport also said few cuss words.
 The equipment for the switches, signal towers and other necessary paraphernalia needed for the change in the lines is in readiness near the old station, and workmen will start to put them in place immediately. Two concrete signal towers are also in the course of construction.

There will be no prosecution for perjury or subornation of witnesses in the matter of the case against Petros Mazaikas for keeping dis orderly and gaming house, which was heard in the city court yester- day. During the trial, 1t will be re- called, the interpreter. Cassimi Yes vensky, informed the court that the accused had paid s5 each to some of his countrymen who testified for him. The announcement created as- tonishment in the court and 1t was expected that sensational develop ments would follow. But Assistant Prosecutor McGrath after investiga- tion concluded there was nothing to it but hearsay and that if he did un- dertake to prosecute it would be so much lost time. for he could never get witnesses to prove the accusation. On that account. then, there will Do no prosecution brought

Then I dreamed that 1 built the Man.
haitian Opera House, and that came
true"
1t did indeed come true and the
unique detaiE of its realization has not
been withheld from the interested
world This is Mr.. Hammerstein's
witty and optimistic way of relating it:
when 1 visited the European music
al centers in search of artists for my
contemplated first season of grand
opera in the Manhattan Opera House
my reception on the part of the direct
orS, agents and singers was absolute
ly north polean.
I'm New York my purposes and in
tentiOnS met with fine sympathy; some
advised the services of specialist;
others, looking at the'matter more seri-
ousIy recommended the immediate use
of straitjacket. Worse than all of
that. the musical world thought me too
funny Tor anything.
81 frankly said L was all alone in the

ing for subscription was the absence
of subscribers. l will admit that the
first day three elderly ladies and one
less elderly gentleman made inquiries
at the box Office, eying the custodian
OF the books with all the evidence of
suspicion. After few days this eX-
cited condition of things subsidized, and
a few courageous, if not careless, peo-
pie really did subscribe.
This exhibition of enthusiasm on the
part of the musical population of the
city in contributing to a season of
grand opera at my house did not alto
gether fill me with hilarity or vanity,
and when, few days later, in my at
tempt to climb the ladder of operate
fame 1 fen into collar through an
opening in the lobby, injuring my
spine and causing me to be inclosed in
common plaster for several weeks. the
suspicion gradually entered my unin-
iured mind that there really did not
exist an exactly epdemical desire for
grand opera in New York.
Perhaps it had gone fishing. for all

There is legend that l once wrote

SSv:..zi:sas1 would be first to dissent
from a personal appli-
cation of the comparison. 1t is not
that he is disinclined to burn a modi-
cum of incense before the Napoleonic
shrine; IL is rather because he is too
keeniy appreciative of his own limita-
tions to accept such "A suggestion.
No other impresario, native or ac-
quired, engaged in the exercise of his
peculiar calling in this country is so
unlike the famous Corsican in one
particular-in mis- perfect willingness,
almost eagerness, to take the public
into his confidence at all times and in
most places. His frankness is as in
genuous as it is complete. 1t seems
never to have occurred to him that he
has anything to conceal During his
long and exceedingly varied career as
a purveyor of public amusement he
has been an open book. An amazing
readiness to acquaint all who manifest
an interest in his undertakings with
the fullest detail is one of his most en-
gaging characteristics. and no man can
accuse him of ever trying to make a
mystery of himself.
All this, of course, is the antithesis
of Napoleonic, but the fact remains
that the energetic little impresario is
nodded after that type. His splendid
courage and determination to win at
test it. His faith in himself and his
almost fatalistic respect for destiny
liant fighter in the game of life. The
heavy hand of misfortune has never
been able to PROSTATE him. He has al
ways rebounded like the proverbial
rubber ball. and his return to the arena
has often been spectacular.
A Dreamer of Dreams.
Mr.. Hammerstein confesses that he
is a born dreamer. That, too. is Ma
poleonic. but it is a point of difference
that he also is a wit. The story of his
dreams. which is his life history makes
that apparent.
