New Onteass, April 6.—Andy Bowen of will meet tonight at the Olympic Club in afight RED BILL IN COURT. Released From the Work House Yesterday and Arrested Last Night—Other Cases. John Jackson, alias “Red Bill,” the negro who is known as the leader of the “Herring Hill” gang in Georgetown, was released from the work house yesterday and last night he at- tended a dauce in South Washington. The change of liquor did not agree with him, either did it agree with his companion, George Washington, and when they left the dance their condition was such that they were unable to find a cable car, and fearing arrest they climbed into = wagon to spend the night, hoping thereby to keep out of sight of police- | men, But one of them suored so londly that an officer was attracted to the vehicle and both men were arrested. Although Jackson had been at liberty only 3 few hours, the officer charged him with being vagrant, and this morning with Washington he appeared in Judge Kimball's ‘The court thought that John was entitled to more than only a few hours’ liberty, and re- leased both men on their own recognizance. SAD RESULT OF STROXG DRIXE. Col. Wm. P. Lasselle was also in the proces- sion. The colonel is a lawyer, but he is not sat- istled to practice before the legal bar, and therein lies his trouble. “Drunk again,” was the officer's charge against him. “You are a confirmed drunkard,” said the judge to him, “‘and confirmed drunkard is a vagrant. You are therefore clearly within the | law. Ihave done all in my power for you, until my patience is about exhausted. You owe a fine here now, and I have suspended 1ts opera~ tion in order to keep you sober, but you have failed to do what I thonght you might possibly a “Will your honor let me go home to see my wife?

Whisky was the cause of Frank Gafford’s trouble. Frank isa young man who lives at Graceland cemetery. He has good parents and good home, but he will travel with persons who are fond of liquor and his own fondness for drink has resulted in his arrest several times. “He goes with a crowd,” said the policeman, “and every night. when they have the money, they ‘rush the growler.’ ” = about him when he’s sober?” the judge acked. ‘*When he’s sober,” replied the officer, “he’s as good a fellow as you ever met, but he won't keep sober.” “Whisky,” said the judge, “will make a demon oat of a saint. You area young man and you owe something to the community more than getting drunk and keeping company with drunkards. I am going to send you down long enough for you to reflect and get the liquor out of you. You can have twenty days in de- fault of a bond of $50.” AN OLD VETERAN'S SAD PLIGHT, Nervous and trembling was the condition of & veteran of the late war named John Doring- ton, Hecame here from near Grand Rapids, Mich., and only last Monday he was granted a pension.

If “the Czar of the Russias ratifies the treaty the only way its exchange can be prevented is for the President to recall the treaty already ratified and poperly attested by this government, and such an act would naturally be regarded as an affront to the Rus- sian government. The only question in regard to the treaty before the Senate is whether its provisions shall be made public in the present state of negotiations. —_—_—_ = TO RIVAL TAMMANY HALL, The City Club Resolves to Be a Force in Municipal!

From the London Trath. It is nothing short of a national calamity that student lifeim Paris should be so com- pletely shut ont from the influence of accom- plished women who lead decent lives. The student whose family does not live in Paris only sees, when he wants to associate with per- sons of the other sex, the worst sort of emanci- vated dameels. They unfit him for couversa- tion with Indies in whose presence he mast hide what is gross in his nature—in short, the hoofs and horns of the Satyr. He is awkward, or, as he says, gene in their company. The re- served manner he cultivates for drawing room pu ina mere mask to hide his incapacity to chat with ease, without deserving » rebuke. On the other hand, a lady cannot indulge in harmless flirtation. than which there is no bet- ter exercise for the feminine mind.

The free love babite (and no other), which are contracted in the Quartier Latin, explain, taken with the too easy divorce law, the which we see in French politics.
