At about o'clock the exhibition of microscopes in the drill hall on the second floor was opened, and for a couple of hours crowds of people circu- lated slowly around among the tables and peered wonderingly through the lenses ar- ranged for them into the mysteries of minute nature.

Prince Fined in the Police Court To-Day. “Have you ever seen the defendant so drunk that when he fell down he had to hold on to the ground to keep frum falling up?” asked Lawyer Cahill in the Police Court to-day of Policeman Weedon. in the case of the young man, Melton A. Prince, who was arrested for horsewhipping Ruggle W. Clapp last Friday near Pennsylvania avenue and 13th street. “T never did.” replied the officer. Mr. Clapp and John Ambler Smith testified to the alleged assault. They were in a coupe when the defendand took the whip from the socket and proceeded to lay it on the old gen- tleman. Policeman Weedon testified that he witnessed the assault and made the arrest. Witness admitted that he struck Prince in the station, but he did so because the latter called him a“G— — of a —. The defendant admitted that he made sev- p. but claimed eral attempts to strike Mr. Clay that he was justified in so doing because, he said, Mr. Clapp made a remark that reflected on his (Prince's) mother. He denied the testi- mony given by the officers, and accused Officer Weeden of persecuting him, The defendant's father gave testimony in be- half of his son. “Tam a man of means,” he said in answer to Mr, Shillington’s inquiries and added: “My wife's income is $5,000 a year,” Harry Palmer also gave evidence for the ac- cused, corroborated the defendant's story of the alleged assault, and the cause for it. Judge Miller in* disposing of a charge of vagrancy against the defendant defined the offense and said that that share against the defendant was not sustained and dismissed it. The charge of assault was sustained and a fine of $15 was imposed. a THE INDIGENT INSANE. No Funds to Pay Jurors in Cases Under Writs of De Lunatico Inquirendo. The appropriation available for paying for the services of jurors in cases under writs de lunatico inquirendo has been exhausted, and the authorities find themselves in a quan- dary. Unless some arrangement can be made for service without pay there is now no way to comply ‘with the law in cases of the indigent insane. Last week there were eight petitions filed in the Equity Court for such writs, Juries were summoned and decided on three of the cases, leaving five pending. but they cannot now be tried. Fortunately most of the patients are provided for in the Washington asylum. which, while not the best place for confine- ment of insane patients, is better than non is the prospect ahead that is worrying the sa: tary officer, Mr. Frank, for no money is availa- ble for such cases until July 1. and in the mean- time it is probable that a number of insane pa- tients will have to be temporarily provided for. Formerly in the case of insane persons falling into the hands of the police it was only neces- sary to have a certificate of two physicians and two citizens to secure the admission of a pa- tient to St. Elizabeth hospital. but under a de- cision of the Supreme Court of the District a few years since no person can be committed to the insane asylum without due process of law by petition, jury, &c. > B. anp O.
