REAL COMEDY
IS STAGED IN
POLICE COURT

A three-act vaudeville show,
which for genuine mirth far out
stripped any bill on the Orpheum cir
cult or any set OF end men which
George Primrose has yet turned out.
was staged yesterday afternoon in
police court.
Police Magistrate Hines acted as
the interlocutor and the end men
were Bill Stalworth, Shas Strand ana
Sandoval Domingo.
Scattered through the audience
could be seen the faces of acting 30
lice chief Caskey. aldermen Kahn.
Donaliue. Goldsmith, Marty and var
ious other city hall fixtures such as
Clyde Whitcscarver and others.
Stalworth, Strand and Domingo
were summoned before the court to
answer to the charge of drunkenness.
and here is where the comedy began.
Stalworth was the first to be ques-
toned by Judge Hines. Bill stated
that he was shoe sinner by profess
sion and by blood he was half negro
and half Indian. This was the third
time that Bill had stood before the
bar OF Justice in Trinidad's city
court. Bill confessed that the Indian
blood in him was stronger than the
negro part OF his makeup and at
times the Indian part of him rose up
in rebellion and went on the war
path. When the Indian part OF hin,
was on the war path he frequently
became drunk and went on II scalp
ing" expedition. This was one of
his expeditions. tt
The first time that Bill appeared
in court which. was over Two weeks
ago. he stated that his Indian blood
was in o3en rebellion and according
ly the Judge fined his Indian make
up. The second time that Bill was
hailed into court he stated that his
negro blood was in state of insur-
rection and in keeping with this his
negro blood was fined $15.
But yesterday Bill was in a guam
dry as to whether it was his Indian
blood or his negro blood which hau
this time caused him to go on the
war path. In order to do justice to
both sides of his being Judge Hines
inflicted a fine of $40 to his negro
makeup and fine of $15 to the In
dian s;ae of his family.
Sha5. Strand was the next Offend
or and incidentally the second num-
ber on the program. Shas told the
court that he was lately from Brazil
where he had been in the company
of the A. G. Field Minstrel show.
Shas proved to be one of the feature
numbers and when it. came to acting
he was par excellence.
Aren't you cannibal. Shaw"
questioned Chief Caskey.
mo, sah, chief. ah neber ate no.
body in my life." promptly retorted
Shas while he faced the court with
sober face and at the same time
bearing stupid grin on his face.
Use been in Brazil with AL Field
and Use been in the Sandwich ISL
ands but all nebcr ate nobody in ma
life Shas was fined s. and costs
and told that hereafter he had bet
ter let American whiskeg alone.
Act three brought to the footlights
Sandival Domingo. who stated that
he was half breed and had lately
been employed on the Isthmus of
Panama.
When asked how he liked this
country Domingo replied, 81 have on
ly one fault to find and that is that
me and Bill here can't drink all the
whiskey that Uncle Sam makes"
Domingo was fined SIS and costs. |
The curtain fell at the end of this
act amidst roar of laughter

PEACE TO
 REIGN AT NOME

After a winter of strife and turmoil, a season of crimination and recrimi, nation. a period of charges filed and condemnatory resolutions passed, Nome Democratic politicians are to
 kiss and make up. and all is to be peace. and love and harmony.
 Judge John Randolph Tucker, of the United States District Court-whose heart, some Democrats say. has been as hard as the frozen granite hills has kept the fighting, struggling Dem ocrats out of office for the eight months of a cold and inhospitable winter. But now, according to the word received from Nome yesterday, harmony is to be restored. The judge has decided to give the Republicans whom he found in office and has kept there ever since, the privilege of pass ing in their resignations, and so, when the water begins to gurgle through the sluice boxes. when the silent white hills have turned to green and pretty wild flowers bedeck the Arctic moor. all will be forgiven and for gotten, and an era of general rejoicing will be ushered in upon the politicians of the Boring sea metropolis.-J.

WONDERFUL INVENTION
 FROM LONDON, ENG.
Machine That Cures Diseases to bo Shown Working and Tested Free at the orpheum Theatre
 Tomorrow Afternoon
A Chance of Lifetime for Rheumatic,
 Paralytic and Deaf Sufferers

By an announcement in our adver. tising columns a popular Locture.Dem. onstratiou of that wonderful British invention, the veedeo, is to bc given in Juneau tomorrow, Friday, afternoon at three at the orpheum Theatre.
 Such an unusual attraction is cor- tain draw large audience, all the more so as the short visit which the Yecdee Demonstration will pay us is at request of many of our citizens, who after reading in the press reports of the remarkable cures recently effected by the Veedeo all over Canada and Brit. ish Columbia, sent numerous inquiries which have resulted in the veedce com. pany of London, England, consenting to send us here, at great expense, their best lecturer and demonstrator.
 The veedee is Not Electrical and as it contains no electricity it needs no recharging and gives no shocks. So far from giving any shocks it's action is always gentle and pleas. ant, stopping pain in two or three minn. utes and permanently curing many bodily troubles in few regular home treatments. In most cases the effect of the Veedee seems almost miraculous.
 The yeedee is recommended and em. ploycd by thousands of physicians in Great Britain and other countries. In one week l47 vecdecs have been sold to medical men in the British Isles alone. Many leading physicians, includ. ing pr. Mortimorc Granville, Dr. M. F. Pilgrim and others have written valu- able works strongly advocating the veodeo for stimulating blood circula- ton and for curative purposes.
 The list of names of the thousands of private users of the Veedee, who have cured themselves at home and write enthusiastically regarding the re. lief obtained through this marvellous machine would i'll the pages of a thick volume.
 Local sufferers should certainly avail themselves of this opportunity to test his remarkable invention and obtain q demonstration free of charge at the )rpheum Theatre tomorrow afternoon, when admission to all seats will be 'ree.
 IMPORTANT NoTICE-During the lext three days only, commencing to- morrow, Friday, and ending Sunday light the Vecdcc Health Machine will ,e on view at the Juneau Drug Compa. ly opposite the Alaskan Hotel, and free can be procured at their tore.
