It was after midnight ere her labors in the rotisserie ceased, but when she stepped forth there was Mr. Hader awaiting her. He declined to be shaken off, and when they arrived at on the homeward route he begged her to submit o a chaste sa- lute such as sweethearts in good stand- ing are permitted to bestow, but she firmly refused. and then he undertook to obtain by force what he could not obtain nt. Grasping her in his strong arms he tried to thrust his face against hers, but she struggled and also ‘“hol- lered” until a belated pedestrian rescued her. “Perseverance,” quoth the Judge to the defendant, “is an admirable quality when invested in such manner that it does not employed and e vidual rights, but according to the state- ment of this complainant you permitted your dogged energy to override your dis- cretion. The man who cannot within two years ascertain whether it is safe to kiss a certain lady is either pitiably dense of comprehension or recklessly stubborn, and I am inclined to regard you as the latter. You are fined $100.” “And he didn't succeed in kissing her at that!" exclaimed Clerk “‘Barney” Con- lan, whose interest in any case involving an affaire de coeur is all-absorbing. Encio Gonzales, accused of larceny, was up for arraignment fore Judge Mogan his attorney by declaring, ere the com- plaint . was read, that nobody could prove that he had stolen a gold watch and chain, valued at $70, from Estrada of,.1420% Powell street. “How do vou know you are charged with that effcnse?” the Judge inquired, grand be- suavely.

Sienle | | Miss Alice Goodwin desired to change | | her residence *from ° the lodging-house | managed by Carl G Stahl and Veronica, | his wife, at. 1119 Mission street, and as| she was departing the premises, gripsack | in hand, they undertook to forcibly re- | | strain her. In the ensuing fight'her nose | | was punched by Mrs. Stahl's right fist, and she countered on Mrs. Stahl's head | with ‘the gripsack, and then she filed | complaint of battery against the Stahls. | Judge Fritz heard the testimony and took the case under advisement. e Harry J. Schmitt, a paperhanger, was in arrears for room rent when his land- lady, Mrs. Marie Whitney of 246 Taylor | street, took advantage of his temporary absence from the apartment by locking the door and keeping the key, but that night he effected entrance through a win- dow and enjoyed his usual quota of com- fortable slumber. When he sought to get | in via the same route the following night, | however, he found that the window, too, was fastened, so he went to the door and was attempting to break it open when Mrs. Whitney, clad in robe de nuit, ap- | peared and commanded him to desist. He retorted by knocking her down and kick- ing her head .and breast, and to Judge Mogan she displayed a lacerated lip as part of the injurfes inflicted by him. The defenur will be heard on December 6. . s . Edward Fallon was driving two horses attached to a wagon laden with sand when the. vehicle became *stalled” in a deep rut at Sixteenth and Iowa streets, 80 to spur the animals fo super-equine effort he violently belabored one of them with a heavy shovel, for which he was arrested and booked for cruelty. “Why didn't you use the shovel to lighten the load?’ queried Judge Mogan. _‘Because,” replied Mr. Fallon, “it was | easier to use it the other way. | He will be sentenc.ed this morning. . . H. V. Kelly, accused of vagrancy, was | alluded to as “The Good Advice Kid" by | Patrolmen Brown and Evett while they were pressing home their charge agdinst him before Judge Mogan. It was Mr. Kelly's wont, the officers averred, to dawdle in North End saloo; and obtain free drinks by “butting 1 when two or more persons were engaged | In heated discuselon—as saloon patrons frequently are—regardiess of whether the | disputants were strangers to him. With | acumen attained by experience and sharp- ened by perpetual thirst he quickly d | cided which side of the argument was | most beavily backed by reason and logic, |and that side he espoused, in manner so diplomatic, howeyer, as rarely to ot- | fend the opposing side. With subtle suavity he elucidated the strength ana weakness of the contending claims, and | the result almost invarlably was an in- +vitation to him to drink at the expense of one of the debaters. The court has given itself to-day to ascertaln how Mr. Kelly obtains his solid refreshments. * ~e . 2 Miss May Dougherty, a very pretty young woman, informed Judge Cabaniss ;I;nt for ur.:utmnarlhgrwun‘u:lt of ppiness _ frequently been hted by th; mbi;véh!uue ‘attentfons bl-tgm upon her Percy.R: Hader, a_ mo- e, Sreman restding.

Judge Mogan wlil hear the three complaints to-day. . . . It was exceptionally annoying, Miss W. ‘Cliver told Judge Mogan, for 'an actre: to be arrested and accused of vagrancy, because such accusation would e eagerly utilized by her rivals in the profession as a means ‘of | “knocking” her beth in her social nnd} business life. | However, the damage Had been done, Miss Oliver sighed, and all that re- mained for her to do, she supposed, was to prove that the charge was utterly unjust, inasmuch as she worked stead- ily in continuous vaudeville and had oral and documentary evidence in abundance to show for it. Her spe- cialty? She performed a song and dance “in’ one” and “fed” a masculine comedian in a sketch “in three.” De- | tective “Tom” Wren must have been crazy when he gave credulity to the “knockers” whose envy prompted her arrest. 8he was dismissed. . . Bondy Croner was accused of fel- ony embezzlement by Charles Rosen- berg, trustee in bankruptey of the B. TCroner Corset Company, who averred that the defendant did nocturnally steal and carry away from the said bankrupt stock certaln articles valued at $300. Judge Mogan will hear the complaint in: extenso next Monday.

This | | time it is the owners of straight life con- | | tracts that are making the nolse. For| the first time an assessment has b“nf levidl against them. Heretofore the hold- | | ers of the endowment policies have been | | putting up-the extra money the company | has demanded, and some of them gave | | up_all hope of keeping up with the tax | | and aurrenderqd their policies for what | they could get. | Two weeks ago notices were sent out || | by the company that owing to unusual | and unexpected expenses that had ac-| crued it would be necessary to levy an | assessment on straight life contracts. Re- gret was expressed in the letter that Ihlsl | had been found necessary, and the state-| ment was made that .an increase in| | profits might make possible the return | | o2 part or all of the assessment. 1 | The amount of the assessment may be | understood from two examples. One pol- {icy-holder in this city who is insured for | 132000 and has -pald $46 a year for nine | years was compelled -to ppay $113l. -An | older man in Berkeley, who has had to | pay $52 a year on $2000, has been assessed | | $14 extra this year. ’ | Payments of the assessment are being | | made under protest. Those who have | complained when making payment have been consoled with the statement that others had to pay the same as they. Some of the policy-holders thought | their contracts exempted them from ex- tra assessments, but they found upon a closer study of the documents when they | received notification that there was em- braced in the many printed provisions ! one that the corporation might, In case of emergency, levy assessments. | The Mutual Reserve Fund has been de- | | nied a license to do business in this State by Insurance Commissioner Wolf, and it | now has a suit for $50,000 damages pend- ing against him. No penalty is provided for the collection by non-licensed insur- | ance companles of premiums and assess- ments, so the Insurance Commissioner is making no effort to prevent the Mutuai | | Reserve Fund from recelving money at | its local office.
