CITY COURT CASES

Charles Thompson and John Jor-
 dan, two youths of about 19 years
 residents of that section of the city
 known as the Hollow, were arrested
 Saturday on Harral avenue by Officers
 Wagner and Ladd, for indulging in
 a game of crap. They said today
 that they were on their way to a
 moving picture show when they were
 attracted by a. gathering on the cor ner of James street and Harral ave-
 nue. They knew what crap-shooting is, but denied that any such pastime was attracting the group of young
 fellows. They really did not know
 what was taking place. Judge Foster
 decided that they needed to see how
 the word truth was defined in the
 dictionary and fined them each 5 Shop-1ifting is usually done by the
 members of the feminine sex. but to-
 day brought forth the fact that the dainty vocation is followed by men at times. Stephen Daniels. very lady

 as the proper style. but did not use it for storage purposes. stephen was not a very determined individual for he went to the shoe counter ten times and each time picked up a pair of shoes, but was too timid to take them. He is married and has a II months
 old baby. He was fined s1 and costs and given 30 days in jail. Attorney Cohn appealed for him under $I5 bonds.
 Although young John Afllo managed to get away with d pocket book con- taining s5.25 at the Steeplechase bath ing pavilion, he was discharged today in the city court. Sunday afternoon John Travers hired a house and don- ned his bathing suit.

 he strolled away from the bathing pa vilion young Ailio approached him and asked if he had lost a pocket
 book. Travers replied that he had and Aillo said that the owner would
 give him S1 for finding it he would give it up. Officer Lopeici arrested Aillo who told Judge Foster that he
 found it on the beach. The judge dis charged him and the pocketbook was returned to Travers.

Hein gave his wife few choice words of advice and followed this up. she alleged, with several blows Judge Foster thought that they were both equally to blame and said that there was no sense in them to allow little quarrel to separate them. The judge placed Probation Officer Can field in charge of their domestic trou- bles for the coming six months with discretion to act he saw fit. Hein who lives at B Brewster street, has been working at Meadows End as a bartender. He was discharged Sat urday, but expresses the hope of get ting job with Latin. the truckman, in the near future and of settling down and living happily with his wife forever after.

BARTENDER MUST
 SUPPORT WIFE
Judge Foster Decides that
 Cunningham Should Pay
 His Spouse SS Per Week.

John Cunningham a bartender was before Judge Foster this morning charged with non-support. He was placed in hands of Probation Officer Garfield for the coming months during which time he must hand over to his wife sS each week and report just as often to Officer Garfield. But that is not all, as he must hunt around for a bondsman who will post S250 as a guarantee that he will com ply with the courts directions. Should he fail to obey he will spend rest full months in the county jail.
 Cunningham has been married for 16 years and during the last F years he has resided in this city while his wife remained in New York where she worked in a laundry. He has con- tinually promised to bring his wife and 15 year old son to Bridgeport, but 12 years have been too short a period in which to make a final decision. He told Judge Foster that he was now reconciled to his wife but as the Judge handed down his decision he tsaid that he would make the reconciliation compulsory.
 Mrs. Cunningham claimed that her husband had given her but S6 in as many months, although he was earn ing about S17 a week. Cunningham S intention now. is to make a happy home for his wife and son in this city,

A Sery Sensitive Lady.

A youh hg lady endowed with the most sensitive nerves mentioned one evening to a few friends assembled in her dra-sing room that she had a hor- TOT of the rose ''The perfume of this dower."i said she gives me a severe headache and faintness." The conver- sation was interrupted by the visit of a fair friend who wore a rosebud in her hea address. Our fair heroine turned pale directly, tossed her arms and fell gracefully in a swoon upon the otto man.
 What a strange nervous suscepd- bility! What a delicate and impres- sionable organizationy' cried the spec tators- For mercy's sake, madam, so away! Don't you see that you have caused this attack?"
 "I?' replied the astonishedi lady.
 "Yes, of course it is the perfume of the rosebud in your hair"
 Really, if it is so I will S hcrifice the guilty flower, but judge before you sentence
 The flower, detached from the head dress, was passed from hd nd to hand among the spectators, but their solici- tude soon gave way to a different emo ton. The fatal rosebud was an artt- ficial one-London Leader.

A Southern RSH11ntsCence.
 In "A Southern Girl In '61'' Mrs D. Giraud Wright describes the burial of the young hero, Latane, one of the most dramatic and touching incidents in the story oI the Confederacy. He died leading gallant charge.
 "John Latane, a lieutenant in his brothers company, took charge of the body and with cart and driver, tried to return to Richmond. Finding this impossible, as the enemy were in pos session of the country all around, he went to Westwood, the home Of Dr. Brokenbrough, who was then a sur geon in the army. The enemy ap- preached, and he, to avoid capture, was obliged to leave his brothers re mains and escape on foot Mrs. Bro kenbrough sent for an Episcopal cler- nies, but the enemy would not permit him to pass. Then, with 8 few other ladies, fair haired little girl, her apron filled with white flowers, and a few faithful slaves who stood rever- ently near, a pious Virginia matron read the solemn and beautiful burial service over the cold, still form of one of the noblest gentlemen and most intrepid officers in the Confederate ar my. She watched the clods he4ped upon the coffin lid, then sinking on her knees, in sight and hearing of the foe, she committed his souls welfare and the stricken hearts he had left behind him to the mercy of the All Father"

EARLY MORNING FIRE
 IN GROCERY STORE

Stanley Kolwicz, a IA year old news by discovered a fire at 4:3O o'clock this morning in the grocery store of D. Silver located in a basement be- meath a three family frame tenement house at PIP Main street. The young ster who was on his way to get his morning stock of newspapers had trouble locating the nearest fire alarm
 box but finally located box 161 at At lantic and Lafayette streets. No. g en- zine company and No. 1 chemical en- zine company both laid in lines of hose from their chemical tanks and soon had the flames under control. The fire started in close proximity to a stock of matches. The fire loss will be less than S25 but the owner will probably have a claim for the smoke damage. None of the families over the store were disturbed by the fire.

Substitutes For Tobacco.

Sailors on long cruises sometimes exhaust their tobacco. Thence untold misery and many ingenious efforts to create a tobacco substitute Tea and coffee make the best tobacco subst- tutes. They smoke freely in pipe or cigarettes, and their taste and aroma are not unpleasant. But they burn the mouth and rack the nerves. Rope yarn the untwisted parts of rope and oak um-is smoked by sailors as last re- sort. Bark, peeled from the hoops of salt beef and pork barrels, is also smoked when the limit is reached. These things smoke abominably, and the black fumes that they give forth from the sailors mouths are always accompanied by oaths and impreca- tions. Yet many desperate sailor has smoked them in the hope of ap peasing bis tobacco hunger.

 New York. Aug. 2.-Although the po- lice are still trying to find out if the Sigel murder mystery is involved in any way with the murder of pr. Locke Wing. the Chinese vice-consul to New York who was shot to death late Saturday afternoon. their belief is steadily growing that Wong Bow Cheung, his assassin. is insane. Cheung was remanded yesterday to the custody of Coroner Sea who will inves- tigate his sanity. Chinese residents of New York who looked upon pr. Wing as their friend and protector are in- cenSed at the assassination. They de- clare Cheung is an opium and drink craZed fiend and the loss of his entire family in the Boxer uprising upset his mind. Cheung broke his silence long enough today to insist that he be call ed ''Matuda Wong in future. As a Chinese who has posed a Japan csc, Cheung has been cordially despised by his fellow countrymen.

The regatta held Saturday under the auspices of the Pequonnock Yacht club, which was the second in the series of five, which is being held by the five local yacht clubs was even more successful than the first of the series held a few weeks ago, there being more entrees and the races more keener. The races were along the Seaside park front, which was well
 filled with spectators. while there were a number of pleasure craft afioat. One amusing incident in the days races was the entry of the Major Taylor owned by Henry J. Pitt. who named the boat at the suggestion of Harbormaster Morris. MT. Pitt had asked for a name of his boat from MT. Morris last season and he sug- gested the name now given the boat, as at that time he was engaged in a wordy battle of letters with MT. Taylor. MT. Morris rode throughout the race in the yacht. but did not know it's name till after the finish when he remarked, the boat having lost. ''I ought to have known that a boat with a name like that had no right to win a race in Bridgeport

THREE MEN IN A BOAT

On Saturday afternoon there sailed out of the local harbor a P foot au- xifiary cat boat in command of Capt. A. N. B. Cook accompanied by John Monroe and William Reilly. all mem bers of the Mohawk Yacht club There was nothing more attractive than the trimness of the little craft, but what is most interesting is that before she comes back to Bridgeport in about six weeks she will have sailed over a course of over 1900 miles. The trio did not intend to make a stop till they had reached Tarrytown, N. Y.
 They intended to leave that quaint old town about noon yesterday and sail up the Hudson to the Erie Canal at Troy. The canal will be scanned for about seven miles to the Richie lieu River. which will be naviga ted till the party reach the Thousand Is- lands. Then up the St. Lawrence to Lake Ontario, through the OsWego canal back to the upper Erie Canal, across New York state to the Hudson the Long Island sound and home. The party left we'll equipped with ltools and materials with which to make their own repairs. They carried a supply of cameras. guns and tackle to provide the sport. The trio have promised their friends in this city to let them know of their whereab bouts quite often.

A BraNe SRilaH.

There is a tablet in the sailors home at Melbourne to James Marr. He was sailor before the mast on the Rip. On July 15, 1873, the Rip was caught in a squall. Marr sat astride of the gafr when a great wave broke over the boat and brought down the mainmast. There was only one chance to save the Rip. That was to cut away the litter. But Marr chung to the broken spar, and to cut away meant to send him over board to death. So. looking at him doubtfuIly, the men hesitated, their axes in their hands. Marr, helpless, pondered. He saw that his death would be the boats salvation, and he shouted:
 Gut away, mates! Goodby!
 Then he let himself fall into the cold, wild sea.
