SCENES AND INCIDENTS Six colored and five white men were in Judge Kimball's procession this morning, and there was not a single female in the party. There was also a slim audience, which is, no doubt, the result of Policeman Flynn's work in keeping out those known to be habitual loafers about the court. Judge Kimbail intends that his court shall not be made a resting place by those who have nothing to do other than look for a warm room where they can fina some form of amusement. Policeman Flynn is still de- tailed at the door, and it goes without say- ing that he will see to the enforcement of the order. ‘The result of today’s culling of the crowd was an audience of less than ten, and there was not the usual trouble experienced in keeping the atinosphere in a condition to make the room habitable. Wanted a Coat—Got Thirty Days. Henry Woodward, a colored man, whose appearance indicated that he had been in a pedestrian contest on a dusty road, was the leader of the procession, and the charge against him was vagrancy. “Guilty,” he answered when arraigned. “What's the charge against this man?” Judge Kimball asked. “Vagrancy,” the clerk replied. “What is there in the case?” “He was on 2ist street begging,” said Po- liceman Quals. “He was begging for a coat.” “Thirty days.” Thomas Wise pleaded guilty to a charge of disorderly conduct, and stepped back because he could not pay the usual fine. “I lives in Prince George county,” said Richard Snowden, a young colored man who believes in eating that for which he does not work. “Yesterday he came to my eating place at the market and got 10 cents’ worth of victuals,” said a colored woman named Mary Logan, “and then didn’t pay for what he got. When he had finished eating he fumbled about his pockets and told me to go to h—.” He Must Have Lost the Price. Miss Logan said that she would not have had him arrested had not Mr. Rouzer, a por- table restaurant keeper, called and said it was an old trick of his. Mr. Rouzer appeared and gave evidence, and then the prisoner was heard. “I had been out home,” he said, “because I had the chills and ague, and yesterday when I came in town I borrowed ten cents to get my breakfast.” He declared that he thought he had the money in his pocket when he got his break- fast, and he was very much surprised when he found that he did not have the money. “And we wouldn't nave had any trouble,” he added, “if the woman hadn't made me tired by talking so much.” A sentence of ten days was imposed. Midnight Music Made Costly. Music may have charms to soothe a sav- age, but William Crankum’s banjo and song did not have a soothing effect on Policeman O'Donoghue Monday night. It was be- tween 11 and 12 o'clock at night when the policeman says he met him on the street picking his banjo and humming. “I told him he would have to stop,” the officer said, “and he became disorderly.” The officer said that William was so drunk that he had to almost carry him on his shoulders. “On the way to the station,” sald the cfficer, “Crankum struck me with his banjo and ran. “I heard the banjo drop,” said Policeman Posey, who thought the man must have been sober because of the fast time he made. This policeman did not hear the language exactly as his partner had stated it. The prisoner made his statement, and then Lawyer Martin had something to say about the soothing effegt of music. Judge Kimball did not understand where the soothing effect came in. He said that people are entitled to thelr rest without being disturbed by musicians and singers on the street. “That might apply in other cities,” said Lawyer Martin, “but not here, for people are not usually in bed before midnight.” “I hope I am,” sald the judge. “And,” added Mr. Pugh, “I know I am.” William Crankum enjoyed all this pleas- antry, but when Judge Kimball fined him $5 his enjoyment ceased. A Slap at Personal Liberty. Michael Hill, an ardent admirer of the senior New York Senator, and who Is called by his friends “David B. Hill,” was in the procession because he had failed to con- sume all the liquor in Northeast Washington. “TI suppose it’s the same old thing?” quer- ied the court. “Yes, your honor,” said the policeman. “He was drunk, as usual.” “Five dollars.” John Meredith, a man -who told the judge that he is an insurance agent, was in court because of his conduct in South Washington yesterday. “This man,” said Policeman Henry, “was drunk and had an open knife in his hand.” “What was he doing with the knife?” “Cutting at people.” Meredith made a statement, and asked the court to give him time to pay his fine. He was vouched for by an officer, and the vuacaguks a wea Doctors Prescribe Epicures Demand Everyone Enjoys AERATED LITHIA WATER Clean, sparkling, above all, absolutely pure.

Special Officer Martin Kenny told Judge Kimball that the Smithsonian Park is a dangerous place. He arrested Michael Garvey last night be- cause he was lying on the grass asleep. “Bad characters are Hable to hide in the bushes there at night and hold up people,” said the special officer. “Was this man drunk?” i this talk.about people hiding there has nothing to do with this case," said the judge. “I had a cramp,” said Garvey, “and stop- ped’ in the park to rest myself.” The usual fine was imposed. ——— A CURIOUS LOVE STORY. It 4 Began With a Punch in the Nose and Ended Happily. From the Athens (Ga.) News. Here's a curious story of love and court- ship. About two years ago a young gen- Hleman of this city, while in Savannah, got into a street car with a heavy um- brella under his arm. Like a great many other careless people he held it at a dan- Serous angle, with the point sticking out behind him, and ere long the car gave a lurch and a lady just behind him emitted an ear-splitting scream. Everybody jump- ed and looked, and to his horror the young man found that the point of his umbrella had come in contact with the nose of the young lady seated just behind him. Of course, he apologized, or tried, but it was like apologizing for murder over the body of the victim, for the lady’s nose was bleeding and she was almost in convul- sions with pain. The car was stopped at the next corner, where there happened to be a drug store, and the young man, aided and abetted by one or two elderly ladies, who at once took a lively interest in the case, helped the young lady off and into the store and posted off after a doctor. One was found and the unlucky nose was soon put in working order, and the owner, attended by the married ladies, was sent home in a carriage. The young man took her address and hunted up a mutual acquaintance, with whom he called the next day to sce how the nose was getting along. The nose did well, so did the young man, for by the time the nose was out of danger he had got In the habit of calling, 30 that it be- came ratural for him to step around in the evening! So in the course of time they were married, and she is the only lady in the United States whose courtship began by a punch in the nose from her future husband. 9+ —______ FOUR CORNERS OF THE EARTH. A Negro Woman Who Has Walked From Georgia to Montana. From the Helena Indeperdert. Ar aged colored woman, who has walked all the way from Atlanta, Ga., to Helena, and is now only on the first part of the journey she has undertaken, arrived in the city three days ago, and is being cared for by the family of James Crump, at 1003 9th avenue. Impelled by a strange fanati- cism, she has begun an earnest effort to do what she believes to be the will of God. It was revealed to her in a vision, she says, and as soon as she received the com- mand she began ‘he journey. She has been on the way since a year ago last May, and she will contirue as long as life lasts, unless she should have another vision in the meantime, for she will not be able to accomplish what she has set out to do in her lifetime. Her name is Mary Childs, and she is sixty years old. She is bright and intelli- gent, and speaks with understanding on many topics other than the mission she has set out to perform. Her hair is white, and she looks older than she is, but she Is robust enough to carry a heavy pack containing a camping outfit, and she has become inured to the hardships of the road. “What did I start out for?" she said. “Because the Lord told me to, and I can’t do anything but obey His will.” “Where are you going?” she was asked. In answer she indicated the broad world without with a comprehensive wave of her hand. “To the four corners of the earth,” she said. “Aren't you afraid that something will happen to you on the way?” one of her hearers asked her again. “Bless your soul! It would be all right anyhow,” she replied, with another xes- ture, meant in a general way to impiy that she hud faith d if the Lord wants me I am ready to go.” She has had a remarkable experience, and the letters that she has obtained as she has gore along the way attest that she has made the journey as she says she has. ——__-e-—_ The Liberation of Mrs. Dominis. From the Pacific Commercial Advértiser. At 3:30 p.m. on Friday, the 7th, an orderly on guard at the Executive building an- nounced to the ex-queen the approach of Col. McLean, who carried the parole pardon signed by the president. On entering the room with Maj. Potter, the ex-queen, clothed in a holoku, was seated by a table with her work basket and a basket of flowers upon it, and on the floor was a glass vase filled with water and hold- ing gold fish. Mr. and Mrs. C. B. Wilson were present. Col. McLean did not require her to rise, but proceeded to read to her the contents of the parole-pardon instrument. Maj. Potter followed and read a letter of instructions or regulations, which required her to maintain her residence in Washing- ton place, with freedom of movement over the islard, but without privilege of residing at any other place permanently or tem- porarily without authority from the gov- ernment. * Col. McLean then informed her that the guards were removed and she was free. She smiled and thanked him. At 5:30 the ex-queen, dressed in a black skirt and black hat, descended the steps of the Beretania street side of the building without assistance and with ease, and, in company with Mr. and Mrs. Wilson, enter- ed a carriage and were driven to Washing- ton place. Later on several express wa- gcns, containing her effects used while she was imprisoned, were taken to the same place. es Efforts to Abolish a Superstition. From the London Dally News. The French cutlers established in the town of Langres are determined to call at- tention by every means in their power to the absurdity of the superstition about presents of knives “cutting friendship.” The belief, they allege, no doubt with some show of reason, is injurious to their trade. Among the wedding gifts presented to a newly married couple, for instance, one never sees any knives, although metal articles of other kinds are never wanting. The Langres cutlers have therefore begged the French minister of public works, M. Dupuy-Dutemps, to accept a little present of two gancy knives and a pocket knife of fine workmanship. M. Dupuy-Dutemps has graciously accepted the gift without send- ing the traditional penny or half-penny in exchange with which the superstitidus or- dinarily seek to disguise the nature of such a transaction, —_—_——_+-e+—_____ Women’s Press Association.

The prosecution maintained that more than one person had been concerned in the murder. The second prisoner, however, claimed an alibi, which could not be dis- puted by direct evidence, as it turned out. Finally the judicial expert hit upon the plan to compare the hair found on the clothes of the second prisoner with those of the first prisoner. Specimens of the lat- ter kind were procured, but ocular compari- son failed to establish their s‘milarity. Then photomicrography was tried, and by those means it was proved beyond doubt that the hair came from the same head and beard. No expert is needed to distinguish be- tween the hair roots.

Its Revolutionary History. On the morning of April 23, 1775, four days after the battle of Lexington, the company, under the command of Capt. Arnold, started on its march to Cambridge. While passing through the town of Pom- fret, in the eastern part of the state, it was joined by Israel Putnam, who marched | Wants to Icok well. with the company to Boston, all of which appears in the original records, now in the possession of the guard.

The Methodists saw this diffici@y, and, in order to swell the at- tendance at their edifice Sunday morhings, they-have appointed a committee of young ladies who will meet mothers who come to the church, take their infants to the dining room, and care for them during the hour of service. They call it “The Baby Church,” and the prospects are that it will be well patronized. The new plan will be tried for the first time next Sunday. BEAUTY.
