Calamity was averted, however, by the retirement of the saffron-hued intruder as suddenly as it had been Introduced. There seem- ed to be implied understanding be- tween the court and the attgrneys that the animal’s reappearance must be pre- vented at all hazards. Richard Travers of 110 Second ave- | nue, Richmond District, accused Spe- clal Policeman Fred Helbush, his next door neighbor, of having mallciously perforated the basement walls of the Travers domicile with bullets fired from a revolver. Helbush denied the charge, and his wife was called to substan- | tiate the denial. She it was who men- tioned the cat. In the Helbush home dwelt a young man boarder, she said, and he had often complained to her | of nocturnal serenades by the cat which had murdered his sleep, because he was & young man of nervous temperament. She had not heard any shots fired at any time from any part of her house, and she just submitted the fact that the young man had compiained of the caterwauling because it might serve | to throw light upon any shooting that | might have taken place without her knowledge. Other witnesses testified for the de- | fense, and most of their testimony was | apparently directed to the end of show- ing unreasonable antipathy of the com- plainant toward..the defendant, as | shown by the former’s objection to the { latter’s erection and maintenance of a pigeon house in proximity to the Trav- | ers residence. The exact distance of the pigeon house from the Travers house was variously estimated by the witnesses, and for half an hofir or more the attorneys wrangled over it. In the course of his perfervid pleading one of the Jawyers inquired if the pigeon house was ‘‘disattached,” and then | amended his English by asking if it | was “non-touching” the premises of the | complainant. In evident dread that the yellow dis- . | turber of the nervous young lodger’s | slumbers might be resurrected in the | heat of legal debate, his Honor con- tinued the case another week, advis- |ing the disputants to dwell in peace during that period and forever after- | ward. PR \l Robert Sicke, master of the sturdy tugboat Milton, failéd to show good cause why he should not contribute to | the support of his two minor children, and Judge Cabaniss ordered him to pay their mother $15 a month until | they are able to provide for themselves. | _ It was a pitiful tale that the mother, | Mrs. Adie Sicke of 201 Langton stveet, told the Judge. When she was di- | vorced from Sieke two years ago the court awarded her the' custody of the | children, now aged six and eight years, | respectively, and she worked to keep them and herself alive until her health broke down and she was incapacitated | for toil. Her two brothers and a sister | kept the wolf from her door until one | brother died, another went East and the sister also became an invalid. Then | she adopted the advice of well wish- ing neighbors, gulped her pride for her | children’s sake and applied to the ‘cour( to compel their father to help ! her feed and clothe them. In defense of his conduct | pleaded that he married again and is the father of a third child and that his salary of $65 a month is barely |adequate to keep his second family ]from want. To which the Judge re- torted that no man has a right to un- | dertake the responsibility of maintain- |ing a second family until he has in- sured the offspring of his first mar- riage from becoming paupers. B gr H. Stelling, an Ellis-street grocer, | was accused by Police Officer Tierney of having offered for sale a can of | ! milk which official analysis proved to { be sadly deficient of butter fat, and | the defendant explained the debilitated | condition of the lacteal fluid by stat- ing that he had inadvertently neglect- | ed to shake the can before supplying the first draft upon it, thus giving to | one customer much more of the float- | ing substance that was intended for | equal distribution among many. | "I must accept your explanation and | dismiss the case,” said Judge Cabaniss, | “but I would advise you to be certain | when you again sell milk that the can | is well shaken before the price is | taken.” | . “ “The next ca: said Clerk Gray to s that of James Ed- Judge Mogan, | ward ; Every one in court started, every neck craned and every eye was leveled |at the disheveled contents of the | orisoners’ pen.

Balliff Hickey started the gusty sigh of relif that displaced the expectant manner. James Edward pleaded guilty to the charge of keeping a lottery shop and the Judge postponed sentence till next Wednesday. The arrest was made by Officers Regan and O’Connor. B James Snowy, a colored man, who was arrested for snatching a watch from Nels C. Nelson at Geary and | Kearny streets last Friday evening, was booked for burglary, but yester- day Judge Mogan had the complaint altered to grand larceny and set the case for hearing next ‘Wednesday. Mary Jones, a negress, who interfered when Snow was captured after a long and exciting chase, was also arrested and will be tried for vagrancy on the aforementioned date. .. 3 Because he asserted that he did not smoke cigarettes, Henry McAlpine, a lanky and sallow youth, was acquitted of the charge of playing ball without a bat on Fifth street. When the charge had been rammed home by Policeman Whelton and the defendant had de- clined to dispute it, scanned him with critical eye and. then inquired: ““How many cigarettes per diem do you burn?” “Narg one,” was the reply; smoked a cig since I was born. “Sure?” 3 “Hopermaydie if I did.” “That evidence is so strongly in your favor that T must acquit you of the less serious offense,” was the court’s rul- never ing. . .

It was on December 25, 1903, that West was ar- rested for attempting to rob Nels Lar- sen at Thirteenth and Flllmore streets. &5 58 Louis W. Newroth had two Greek restaurateurs, P. Catsiftis and J. Gi- noles, arrested for mortgaging to him i for $300 their place of business, 27 Sev- enth street, after they had already mortgaged it to some ore else, but when the cgse came up before Judge Mogan yesterday Newroth declined to porsecute. “But the charge seems to be proven,” remarked ‘the Judge, “and I would like to be enlightened as to why you ask | for dismissal.” Then the penitent complainant ex- plained that he asked for dismissal be- cause the defendants were unacquaint- ed with the subtleties of the English language and American business meth- ods and because he expected to get back about 25 per. cent of the money he | had lent them. | “You seem to be quite a shrewd busi- ness man yourself,” was the Judge's sarcastic comment as ‘he dismissed the case for lack of prosecution. Then he addressed some sharp words of reproof to Newroth for having trifled with the majesty of the law and the time of the court. . $ ieiie Judge Mogan held Violet Carter to answer to the Superior Court on a charge of having robbed a Portuguese ~ W. Stevens, a bartender in the' Washington-street saloon where the | robbery occurred, was arrested for com- | plicity in the felony, but the case| against him f2ll to pieces. .

A lot of Twenty-eighth infantrymen were holding wasalil in the Strasburg when a detachment of Tenth infantrymen charged and attempted to capture the floor and the ladies that | were gracefully swirling thereon, and after a sharp and sanguinary defense | of their fair partners the gallant | Twenty-eighters were forced to fall backward, but rallied and made a bar- ricade of chairs and other portable | furniture, behind which they placed the | ladies and then fought the invaders ! until the nolice arrived. The men of the Tenth retreated in order and evaded | Twenty-eighth were easy of capture. The case has gone over until next | week. &8 e | .. That a good character is a convenient | thing to possess in certain emergencies |can_be truthfully stated by Martin Griffin, for it secured the dismissal of a larceny charge against him in Judge Mogan'’s court. Some clothing stolen from a house on Tehama street was found in an unoc- cupled cellar from which Grifin had Just emerged, and he was followed by | two women, who had him arrested as he was apparently endeavoring to elude | them. His defense was that he went into the cellar to recover a tobacco | pouch which he had accidentally | dropped down the staircase and that he knew nothing whatever of how the stolen property happened to be there. After a careful investigation of the defendant’s character had been made by order of Judge Mogan and the po- liceman had reported inability to find anything criminal in it the case was ordered dismissed and Griffith informed that he owed his liberation to the clean- liness of his record, instead of to the sailor of $140 and fixed her bail at $1000. | 8 | | Police Officer Nelson told of the ur«i b | arrest, but the interenched boys of the | i { suicide by ADVERTISEMENTS. PHYSICIANS EVERYWHERE Know the Value of Pyramid Pile Cure. “Gratitude alone prompts me to tes- tity to the efficacy of Pyramid Pile Cure.. Last March I bought a dollar package at the firug store, which cured me of bleeding piles, and I was a suf- ferer from them for eight years; but I had not been troubled with them since, until last September, when I gave birth to a baby girl, and after that I had a very severe case of pro- truding piles, which a trained nurse said was the worst case she ever saw, and my doctor told me to get Pyra- mid Pile Cure again, which I di4, and was completely cured in three days. I have not had plles of any kind since, and it is all owing to this wonderful remedy. My nurse took a box, which I was glad to be able to give her, for I know she will be able to help lots of suffering people whom I could never see or know. “I recommend ‘Pyramids’ wherever I know of any one suffering as I did. It gives me great pleasure to ‘be able to say I am entirely cured, which my doctor says is true. I say God bless Pyramid Pile Cure.” From a former great sufferer, Mrs, F. Ancott, 1206 Unity street, Frankford, Philadel- phia, Pa. This remedy, which is sold by drug- gists generaily, In 50 cent and dollar packages, is in a suppository form, is applied directly to the parts affected and performs its work quietly and painlessly. Its value is evidenced by the testimony given above, and we urge all sufferers to buy a package now and give it a trial to-night. Ac- cept no substitutes and remember that there is no remedy “just as good.” A little book on the Cause and Cure of Piles is published by the Pyramid Drug Company, Marshall, Mich., and will be sent free to any address.

SATISFIED WITH MONEY IN LIEU OF SABLE CAPE Jennie Harvey Petitions Court for Ar- ticles Devised to Her in Will of Late Caroline D. Fair. Mrs. Jennie Harvey, wife of Joseph Harvey, yesterday petitioned the Su- perior Court for a distribution to her of the jewels and wearing apparel de- vised to her by the late Caroline D. Fair, wife of Charles L. Fair. The ad- ministrator of Mrs. Fair’s estate hae been cited to appear before Judge Cook April 7 to show cause why her petition should not be granted. Mrs. Fair willed to Mrs. Harvey her famous Russian sable cape, her dia- mond sunburst and her diamond fleur de lis. The cape was stolen by a Parisian furrier, who, however, paid to the administrator of the estate the sum of $942, its value. Mrs. Harvey says she is content to receive the money in place of the garment. She also says that as the diamonds that composed the fleur de lis and the sun- burst were, a short time prior to Mrs. Fair’s death, reset into other jewelry the stones as they are now made up will suit her just as well as the orig- inals. f il RS S A R Trapper’s Ofl cures rheumatism and neuralgta.
