In the Police Court
The session of the police court
yesterday afternoon was largely at
tended, the attraction being the trial
of "Paddy" Lynch upon, a a charge
of vagrancy. The defendant, who
was admitted to bail shortly after
his arrest, was present, but the coun
sel he said be had engaged did not
put in an appearance. He pleaded
not guilty and conducted his own de
fense. On the section of the charge
of being an idle and dissolute person
with no visible means of support,
Lynch produced a telegram and let
ter in support of his contention that
he was employed by captains of
coasters to secure sailors and re
ceived remuneration for such serv
ices, and was given the benefit of the
doubt On the section of the ordi
nance relating to living in or about
houses of ill-repute he failed to sat
isfy his honor that the place of his
habitation was above reproach and
was fined $30 or IS days as a guest
of Chief GammcL He gave formal
notice of appeal, but later thought
better of it and paid his fine. Two
other cases were tried, one for being
drunk and disorderly and his "side
partner " with being disorderly. The
latter was accused of fighting, bojt
proved to the satisfaction of the
court that he did so to protect him
self. After being reminded that he
could have left the bar-room, he was
discharged. The d. and d. was as
sessed the customary $10.00 or five
days.

was sold outright to J. E. Johnson
of this city for the sum of $22,000.
Just what the terms were could not
be ascertained, but it is known that
the sulcndid property has changed
hands, and ex-May6r Bergman will
have one less large interest to en
gage his attention in the future, and
both he and Mrs. Bergman are al
ready missing the place they thought
so much of.

Give the Duke a Chance, Says Thea
dore P. Shonta.
CHICAGO, Mar. 31. The Tribune
today says:
Give the Duke a chance; he's a
square shouldered young man and
opportunity is all he wants, said
Theodore P. Shonts in speaking ot
his son-in-law, the Duke de Chaulnes.
Refering to the debts of the Duke,
he said: "Amman's debts may prove
his worth. It takes a good man to
eet into debt and live comfortably.
As to the title, its possession or lack
has nothing to do with the worth of
a man. A good deal too much hat
been said about the marriage. The
young folks are now on their honey
moon and shouldn't be bothered.
"Is there any truth in the report
that the Duke is going to work?"
"Well.' laughed Mr. Shonts, "the
germ hasn't broken out in virulent
form yet, but wait until after the
honeymoon. I know that the young
man is going to plunge into a use
ful life he'll make good, too. HeTl
find me ready to give him all the en
couragement and assistance needed."
Mr. Shonts said that he had no
objection to the marriage, as was re
ported. WOOD!, .WOOD!!,. WOOD!!!,
