John Moss, a colored lawyer, apiicaring for Carr, said. "Your honor. If this thing keeps on, a man will hae to get a permit when he takes a bath." Col.

Policeman Auldridgels alo affected with a conscientious mania regarding violators of the law.

"What were they dolng?"asked his honor. "Sitting around and talking." "Any of the chairs occupied?" "No, sir." Johnson told the court that he was ar ranging for an entertainment with some memliers of his society. "I'll take your personal bonds, ' said Judge Kimball, "but remember, it Is against the law to occup jour stop on Sunday. You must kcip out of there on that day." Johnson promised, and the officer had the pleasure of making a case after all, as the acceptance of pergonal bonds counts in his record. JACKY'S PASSION". When Jacky Moloney slops going to the police court there won't be anj such place. Jacky has a passion for Scotch plaid clothes, furnished bj the govern ment, and regular hours of retiring. He got out of the workhouse jesterdaj afternoon. Among the things returned to him when he left was a crisp dollar bill, left there for him by a friend. "Sol," chuckled Juckj, tougher than Jerk ed beef, to a pal with ten more days to serve, "git on tcr dat lcttlce. I won't do a ting to it w'en I strikes a gin mill." "Yes. and jou will be back tomorrow," said one of the keepers. "Xoton)Crr,altintpe,"rcpIicdthccon fident Jack. "De old boozclccny can't knock racout In less den twentj -four hours." But It did. Jacky found himself at 1 o'clock this morning on'Massacliusetts ave nue, being tugged and hauled aroundby two patient' policemen. "Wake up. jou old sinner," said one of the officers, trjlng to infuse life into the sleepy bum b) rubbing his nose. Jacky gae a mighty yawn, carelessly sticking his finger in one of the policeman's ejes. "Ami pinched?"hesaid, waklngup. "Oh, no,"retortedtheofficer,"wc're mak ing love to you." "Then carry yonr baby home," was the ready response of Jacky, making himself 'imp and helpless. The officers wtited for the patrol wagon, which carried Moloney to the station house, as he absolutely refused to walk a step. "Here I am agin, yer 'anner," he said to the court, ducking bis head. "Yes, Jacky. and here you are very often," nnsw-erel his honor, after the of ficer made hlsstatetrent. A GREAT SURPRISE. "Yer auner, I've got a great eer-pnse tcr yer dis time; I'm a-goiu tcr plead guilty," said Jacky, leaning against the rail with the appearance of a man -whose humility deserves consideration. Judge Kimball said, In view of the sur prise, he would make the sentence light. "Fifteen days this time, Jacky," said his honor. Jacky stepped briskly around to the desk before the vigilant Kendlg could in terfere. "Take me bonds," he whispered, confi dentially. The court looked down on Jacky' 8 homely, scarred face, and said "No." "You never will gimme a chance," grum bled Jacky, taking Kcndlg's arm with great fervor. "No, no," declared the Judge, "it's Jacky who doesn't give himself a show. Out yesterday and in today. Whisky is yonr ruin. Let 11 alone and you'll not need a show. "Jedgc," declaimed Jacky, smiling his closely shaven head, "I'll stop right yen lake me nurd an let me go.' "Jacky, you word doesn't go hero," said the court. "Step aside."

"All the red faces are preseut this morn ing," observed Judge Kimball, noticing King, Maloney, and a confirmed vag. named Scrlvner in the dock, side bj side. King is ncnrlng the sixty mark, but affects u Jabuty, youthful air. He is a ponderous man In argument, and alwajs has a pressing engagement in some other city. "Your honor, business, urgent business, takes me to Philadelphia," he said, glanc ing at the clock. "I have Just time to latch the 1130 train. If jour bonor will take my iersonal bonds I shall lea", e immediate ly." Ue pulled out a bundle of letters anil a time-table, and scleral suspicious-looking corks also appeared, which he kicked out of the way at once. "Possibly we'd lietter hear first what jou were doing jestcrday before you catch the train," replied the court, drjlj-. "Certainly, sir, certainly," responded King, running his fingers through his hair and exposing ostentatiously a pair of very dlrtj cuffs. "A temporarycrobarrassment caused me to forget my troubles in a little dissipa tion," he ran on. ."Unfortunately the bot tle passed once too often, and my powers of locomotion were retarded. As we say in Latin," added King, with a studious air, "it was an instance of alcoholic locomo'or ataxia, or impediment of the 'knee pans." Everjbody laugl eJ, and King was great ly gratified. "As we say In English," replied Judge Kimball, "It was a case of plain drunk, and you get thirty days." "At your pleasure, sir." replied the de fendant, unmoved; "but before I go I de sire to make a personal objection to the coffee served this morning. I think, sir." and he threw Kendlg a vindictive glance, "somebody spit in mine." Kcndig rushed him along the line to the cells, wheret King found a congenial conspirator in Jacky Maloney . The pretty blond, Jliss Martin, lost her case. She was j charged -with disorderly conduct, and forfeited $10. BEV. FHANKTVUOOMAX'S DEIlESY Ho la to He Tried Jleforo tlio Clilcugo Ixe8bytery. Chicago.

ARGUMENTS OF NO AVAIL TV lieelnifii Taken to Tuxk forNcjrleel lUKllcllKloUKDiitleM Cycle Hoard of Trudo Information Bureau Mirror for Looklui; Uc-liind Mlorlnnd TVII1 Not Meet Uuret Cycling NoteH. Chicago Germans went on record last evening as being opposed to blcjclc rid lng. Up lo this time the wheel lias reigned supreme in their ranks, as eie w here with nobodj to say naj, but row the spell has lieen broken. The men -nhoi refused lo sanction pedaling as an ex ercise are all lu touch with prominent athletic societies, aud their action was taken only after careful consideration. It was the iweiitj-nfth annual meeting of what is known as the Indiana division lu Turugemcinde circles. This sectiou Includes representatives of the principal German athh tic societies of Chicago. Besides these, there are two Louisville societies, and a number of Indiana or ganizations. All were .represented by delegates who, after oue of the most spirited debates In the hlstorj of the district, refused to commend to the Na tional Turngcmclndc convention, which will meet in LouisiIlc, June 21, that prizes l glien for blejcle riding as well asfor other kinds of athleticsjorts. Thus, the two-wheeled vehicle stands alone as an outcast from the Turners' ranks, for scarcely any other sort of machine used for exercising purposes has been put under the ban by the Germans. Prizcsare offered for excellency In almost everj thing which brings into play the muscles. A distinct Issue was made before the mat ter was -.oied upon. This was whether or not the wheel was conduclc to health. A number of speakers argued that It was not. It was asserted that it enervated the sys tem, and, most of all, thatit made the body crooked and caused stooping shoulders and spine trouble. No machine, they claimed, whose tendency was to do these tilings should be Indorsed by the athletic bodj-. One of the principal objects of the organiza tion, they said, was to make the body straight and perfect In every particular. The advocates of bicj cling then had an Inning. They cited the out-of-door feature of the sport and its increasing popularity, but their arguments availed them nothing. When It tame to a vote the proposition was defeated bj a substantial majority. Friends or the safety got but little con solation out of a compromise which they errected shortly afterward, but which hardly mitlg-ited the force of the blow which thej had received. This was the passing ot a resolution to the effect that an exhibition of bicjele riding shall be given In the future. It was pxpressl) stipulated, however, that no prizes shall be awarded, and that the only event to be considered is grace in carriage. Speed is to take no part in the show, and an effort to make it a feature met with so much opposition that it was plain the "scorcher" had more enemies than friends present. Brookljn jmMors srem to be very hard Dn those bit jele riders who ride on Sunday to the neglect of their religious duties. The Rev. Daid Greggs sajs" "I discount the religion of the Sunday bicycle rider 99 3 4 per cent. His Christianity is as near not being Christianity as It Is possible for any thing to be. The men who deliberately sub stitute the Sunday bicycle rido for the Eabbath morning worship. If they are honest, will honor the church by demand ing the Immediate removal of their names from the church roll." On the other hand, the cyclists say they would not neglect church if the services were held at such hours as to enable them to take a spin on their wheels afterward. They contend that now church services are regulated for the drones who desire to sleep late on Sunday morning, and not for the actUe, energetic joung men who de sire health. Within the last two weeks R.L.Coleman, president of the Cjcle Board of Trade, has organized an information bureau, which is Intended to bring alKiut united action where ccr the lnferct' of the trade are concernd, cmbdinc among its objects financial re ports, enforcement of collections, inxestiga tion of failure, information as to new firms, changes or dissolutions, names of reputable agents, and other items of alueto the mem bers. Although no information bureau has been so recently organized, it lias met with the hearty support and indorsement ot manj- of the leading memliers of Uie Boa rd of Trade, and it Isapparcntlj destined to grow into one of the nio-,t imrortant branches of the national board. Bicyclers will no longer hae occasion to express a w Mi for eyes In the back of their heads. One of the dangers ot the wheel has been the liability to meet Iniury from behind. Xow-a blejcle mirror has been patcnt-d which wlllenablethe rider tokeep his eye on the road behind him. It will cer tainly appeal totlie average rUer, whofeels nervous when a clatter of hoofs behind an nounces an approaching vehicle. The con trivance consists of a yoke-shape 1 or arch- bar fastened on to the hand's barot the bi cycle by meansof two clamps an I support ing a m Irror, which is hinged to a V-shaped holder, sothntit can bs moved up or down the standard bir by pressing the two ends of the holder together and releasing It at the desired height. The mirror itself may be placed at the inclination desired for dis tance of near-by observation bj- simply pressing it in the desired position, where It Is held by pawls catching Into the toothed holder. The adjustment of the mirror to the proper place can be easily accomplished by one hand, and that, too. while riding. All the parts arc very simple an 1 not liable to get oat ot order. Frank Shorland lias declined Hurct's challenge for a twentj-four hour track race. Buret now holds the world's record for this c cnt. but as Shorland has ne er been beat en at these "twice 'round the clock" races, the two never hav Ing met. Buret is anxious to establish his superiority. Shorland has retired from the track, and displays no de sire to satisfy the Frenchman's uneasiness. Buret has been getting a bit stale and was beaten last week In Paris in a t O-kilometcr race by Eonhour. another French crack. TLadles who ride bicycles should. If they care to ride easily and gracefully, pay par ticular attention to the adjustment of the handle bar ami saddle. Probably not one lialf of the ladles who ride understand the Importance of these points. If the handle bar is too high it carries the elbows away fromthebody and raises the shoulder blades a tiresome and not very graceful position. The proper war Is lo have the handle bar adjusted so that when sitting erect von can re-ich It comfortably, having Yes. that replating of your Silverware is a capital idea. Lewis S.

If the saddle is loo low the rtyilt Is very prominent and awkward knee action and a decided loss of power. The generally accepted rule is to have the saddle adjusted so that when the pedal Is at Its lowest point the rider can easily reach it with the heel of his shoe. CYCLING NOTES.

BLACK CAT'S PERSISTENCE Ho Outwitted Trainman and Took a Long Ride. Twice Thrown Off u Cur riutforni, Hut Cum i Hack Each Timoand riulslivd Ulo Journey. A singular passenger on train Oil of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, which arrived here yesterday evening, was a large coal black eat, with particularly large green ejes, one car alertly cocked and the other, through some encounter, perhaps, with another of lib kind, droop ing and dejected. It wasan unwelcome and unpaid for pas senger, -whose advent caused mingled sen timents of amusement and superstition to the officers in chirge of the train. The cat was first seen strolling leisurely about the train yard of the Chestnut street, station, Philadelphia. His cunositj seemed attracted by train 511, and be gave it as thorough an inspection as the limited time of its delay at the station allowed. When the train began to move slowly out the cat gave a tremendous bound and landed on the front truck of one of the cars. There he se tiled down composedly-blandly purring his evident satisfaction -with travel. At Wilmington the black Thomas-was seen parading up and down the front platform of the first car, after the fashion of an experienced tourist. Not liking his osten tation. Conductor Louis Bennett, with firm decision, grasped Thomas by the scruff of his inky neck and pitched him into space. After such rude treatment a cat of any self-respect would, no doubt, have concluded that hisprcsencewasun welcome. and would have retired with dignity. But either tl-e lo.e of travel was loo strong iu Thomas or his impudence and tramp instincts were un limited, for as the train steamed into Cam den station. Ualtlmore, he again turned up, to thesurprise of the trainmen. But a great deal of the brazen effrontery bad been taken out of him. Between Wil mington and Baltimore trains do not stop for water, but receive it as tbey speed along. Thomis. in returning to his favorite position on the front platform of the car Just behind the tender, had notallowed for this, and as a consequence when he crawled off the car at Baltimore he presented a sorry sight, with his sleek, glossy coat drenched and disordered. Several Uughs at his expense were en-Joj-ed by the trainmen, and it was thought that after sucli discouraging experiences he would decide to gite up the road and take up tils residence In Baltimore. But Tommy, apparently, had riot seen enough of the world or else was bent on the ful fillment of some grave mission, nc smooth ed down Lis dripping coat as best he could, and whentrainoll pulled out for Washing ton, soon after entering Camden station, the cocked car looked more alert than ever as Thomas was seen b Special Officer Harry Wingate to leap to his old position on the platform and cuddle down to com plete the renoatioD of his soiled coat, un mindful or possible repetitions of the drenching. When the flyer from New York to Washington pulled in yesterday afternoon. Conductor Bennett alighted from his train, looked all around, and his face gradually bro idened into a smile. It was of short duration, however, for before the smile had fairly settled itself on the handsome railroad man's countenance it suddenly changed to a look of disgust, mingled with astonishment. The caasc of the change was the appearance of a coal black feline from under the Pullman car. "Well, I'll be " but the last part of Capt. Bennet's remark was lost in the puffing of Engine No. 511, which had pulled the tram from Philadelphia. "If there ain't that blasted cat again, I'll be Mowed," said the conductor. "Would you bellce it," lie continued. "I have put that Infernal cat off of this train twice, and was sure that I was rid of it, but. jou see, it is still with me. I don't know whether It's a hoodoo, or a mascot; anyhow, it Is mighty fond ot railroading. It came Into the depot at Philadelphia, and attempted to get on the train, but I pushed it ofr Just as we start ed. You can imagine my surprise when at Wilmington it walked out from beneath the cars, as It did here. "When we started from Baltimore I 'scatted" at it, and was dead Burc I was rid ot it, but, you sec, it has tamed up again." As there was no mishap on the Balti more aud Ohio, it is fair to presume that Conductor Rennet will adopt the black cat which jesterday e".enlng walked oat again from under the train, and rubbed Its inky coat against his trousers legs.
