Marvo Saw Great Light

Marvo, the handeutf king appearing at the Iris, saw great light at the Dominion hotel after the performance last night. Marvo is something of . practical joker. He filled an orange with sawdust and handed it to Ike Levy, the hotel bartender, who took, a large bite into it. Ike never said word, but he worked hard for bout four hours after that, tunnelng into a large cigar of Marvo s favorite brand. A shot gun cartridge furnished the powder, and the internal machine was handed to the or ange suffer last night after the stage had been duly set with as many of the boys as could be got together. Marvo lit the cigar and insisted on talking to Clerk Brown. Brown just could not break away from the key rack to hear what Marvo had to say-that is, not until the expected happened for once. It was like touching a shot in quarry. It was the biggest smoke Marvo ever had and several of the guests upstairs had started for the fire escapes before they could understand what the haw. haws in the lobby were all about.

Sultan Brothers are about to erect on this site modern brick store structure, sixty feet front and one hundred feet deep, one story high and so built that another story may be added as exigency requires. The old buildings will be torn down as soon as certain complications arising from the purchase of the ten feet of ground ad- joining the courthouse are overcome, and the new store will be rushed to completion.

Wood Had Strenuous Time.

Harry Wood contributed $20 to the city treasury yesterday at the invita- tiOn of Justice Hinson Thomas. Wood had been having lurid time and in his excess of joy showed a friend through q glass door in Dominic Bar toglio's place. Wood was ready to pay for the damage, $5, but declined to call the glazier, and when Bartoglio insisted, the exuberant bartender punched the Italian. Herman Wolf, the dog catch CT, placed Wood under arrest, and on the way Wood invited him to take n drink. That, was the last seen of them until Constable Duncan re-arrested Wood on complaint of Bartoglio, Wood was fined $l0 for fighting, $lO more for failing to appear in court when ordered to do so, and the broken glass cost him $5. Total $25.

Those local sprinters who contem- plate going after Marathon honors in the race soon to be pulled off in this city should look after Professor F.

If they had seen him taking after recalcitrant student the other afternoon they would immediate ly withdraw from the athletic field and give the bun to this enthusiastic ed ucator. He met Jerry in the playground during school hours and invited Jerry that is the name of the youth in ques- tion-to spend the afternoon in school. Not me!' said Jerry, and he started to race down the street with the re- doubtable instructor after him. The race was short, but--Jerry spent the afternoon in school.
