CITY HALL.
Meistersingers Too Busy to Have Vic

Public in Near Future.

The Meistersingers. who will be heard
in city hall, next Thursday evening,
will soon have records made by the
Victor people. So prominent have these
noted singers become that there has for
some time been large demand for
their records.
They have been invited time and
again to come to the producing
studio at Camden, N. j.. but have been
so busy with engagements that they
could rot get in the extra day neces-
sary to make the records.
Meistersinger Phillips, Mgr, of the
organization, makes the announcement
that they shall certainly make an at
tempt to sing for the records this seas
on. 1t is, however, difficult to find the
time. for in addition to their engage
ments as an organization, all of them
are individual soloists, and their solo
concert and oratorio work, makes up
continuous season for them through
out the summer and winter.
Grilley, the humorist, who appears
with the Meistersingers at City hall
Thursday evening, is remarkable en-
tertalner. For Is years he has been

Ernest Estes of Manchester, who had
since Saturday afternoon been a prison
er in the Augusta police station be-
cause of having made trouble in a lum-
Der camp on the Knowles lot, during
which he. was alleged to have threat
ened to kill several of the men en-
ployed at the camp. was arraigned on
Monday morning before Judge Lancas-
ter of the municipal court. There were
two charges against the prisoner, one
for assault and battery and the other
for assault, the principal details of
which were published in the Journal of
Monday morning and the hearing
brought out but few new points. Meth
er Estes nor the compliments in the
cases were represented by counsel
The first case heard was that in
which the charge was assault and bat
terry and in which Harold E. Whitney
was the complainant. and who it will
be remembered, was the man who
struck Estes over the head with a cant
dog and knocked him out" after Estes
had thrown his cantdog at the COM
plainant. Estes still wore a bandage
on his head when he was brought into
court To this charge Estes pleaded
guilty and was given sentence of $40
and costs or 80 days in Jail.
To the second charge. in which the
complainant was Charles c. Clark, Es-
ties entered a plea of not guilty, and
claimed on the stand that he did not
wish to kill anybody, either Mr.. Clark
or any of the other men in the crew
but 1t was shown conclusively that at
tho Of he ri
noon he had threatened to kill the
complainant and several others. 1t
came out during the hearing that F;s-
ties had been drinking before the trou-
BILE and had taken six or eight drinks
Of alcohol with a little water in it, and
also several drinks of whiskey.
! Estes at the hearing was as mild a
! hammered man as ever came before the
municipal court. and his plea to the
court was that he be allowed to CO.
that he might leave the city never to
return; that he had a job at Dead River
which he could go to work the last Of
the week; also that he had a team
which he would sell in order TO raise
what money he would need. At the con
clusion of the hearing the court placed
! him under $500 bonds. taking his own
recognizance. and he was ordered to be
held at the police station until the time
should arrive when he would leave the
city to carry out his promise.
The wound on Estes head as the re-
suit of his trouble last Friday was evil
IDENTIFY not the first he had received for
he bears on his head a scar which looks
as if a piece of skull had been gouged
out the cause of which, as he explain
ed to the court. was that about three
years ago two men were fighting with
axes and he tried to separate them.
Other business before the court for
the day was two cases of intoxication
in which both respondents were found
guilty, one being given sentence of 81
and costs and the other a sentence of
80 days in Jail, which latter sentence
| was, however. suspended.

Another woman from near by

who had been picked up found her

two others had compassion on her,
and hanging to her, walked her off,
and with difficulty kept her going till
they got her in sight Of her home
when she staggered toward it. On the
long walk with her rescuers, she was
very voluble, answered all questions,
owned up freely to her condition, did
some swearing and was very grateful
to her new friends for their help
She also asked if 'the big preacher

For instance, Hoods Sarsaparilla,
the standard blood purifier. is recon-
mended for conditions that are scrof-
ulous or dependent on impure blood.
Peptiron Pills, the new pepsin. nux

conditions that are radically or char

afflicted with swellings of the glands,
punches in the neck, cutaneous erup-
lions, and sores on different parts of
the body, limbs and face, and are be-
sides pale and nervous.
If these patients take both Hoods
