A man named Miller became obstrep
erous-from too much indulgence In
booze-at Montrose Saturday last and
informed the officers he could not be
arrested and jailed after being ordered
to behave himself. This was time
for action. Miller upon reaching the
Jail gave one OF the officers Jolt
from his right on the jaw and then
attempted to escape and 1t required
several officers to land him In the jail
The episode cost Miller $50 and costs
for being drunk and 5000 and costs for
resisting an officer. Wonderful tho
trouble booze makes some people.

"THE GIBL. IN THE, TAXI.
Play Which Created Sensation Here
ON Monday Night.

One Of the funniest and most orig
inal scenes OF 1.-THE Girl in the Taxi"
the merry sensation from Paris, Ber-
lin, Chicago and Boston which comes
to, the Academy Of Music for an en-
gagement on Monday evening occurs
at the end of the first act. The scene
represents the home of John Stew
art on Riverside Drive, New York:
The hour is about eleven o'clock and
everyone has said good night and re-
tired to their rooms. Thea lights
arc turned out by a chic French
maid and the moonbeams stream
in through the windows opening on
to the veranda. All is quiet.
Suddenly a door opens and Percy
Peters, Mr.. Stewards nephew from
Philadelphia who has come to New
York for throat treatment and Is
supposed to be very sick man, ap-
pears in full evening attire. He
closes his door cautiously, locks 1t,
skips over and listens at the other
door and then with laugh, leaves
the house to keep midnight APP
pointment with the "Girl in the
Taxi" at the Cafe Richie. He has
hardly gone when Papa Stewart cau-
tiously emeraes from his room In ev-
ening dress, listens at the other
doors and with the remark, every
body sleeps but father" sails out OF
! the house to meet a couple of chorus
girls. No sooner has he gone, how
ever, than BERTHE, his innocent and
unsophisticated con, creeps from his
room, tiptoes to the doors OF his
father and his cousin Percy. and pre-
pares to leave the house: Bertie Is
| hard pushed for money. His father
allows him but Ave dollars a month,
hardly enough with which to enter
tain after the fashion Of his elders.
His eye catches sight Of beautiful
loving cup which his father has re-
ceived only that day as token OF
appreciation and proudly left on the
! top Of the plano for exhibition pur-
/ poses. Bertip has no sentiment In
! the matter. He grabs the silver tok-
en- and exclaims gleefully, II know
where can get ten dollars for this"
Then he darts from the house and
goes as rapidly as he can to pawn
shop. The expectation aroused at
the end Of this act as to >what will
happen in the next has never excell-
ed in any produced on the American
stage.
