She pleaded not guilty, and de clared to the judge that she had not done anything. The judge seemed t.o doubt her statement, however, as he imposed a fine fine of $5 and said “the court is hereby adjourned until tomorrow morning at the usual time.” The city seems to be on good behavior again.as Patrolman Hamilton was the only officer who was fortunate enough to make vin arrest.

Th° following from the Louisville Courier Journal is an earnest of what may be expected at the Academy next week: A1 G. Field, his battalion of merry makers and a whole lot. or us had a rol licking. melodious and uproarious time at Macauley’s theater last night. A1 Field snd L-ouisville are long-time cronies, and when they get together they take up all of the time and most cf the space. From the el bow of the orchestra to the .outskirts of the gallery Field’s friends and others seek ing an introduction were crowded together in a (buzzing array of good nature. It was the opening of Macauley’s for the year and it was a good starter. The Field greater minstrel aggregation retains all the things that are too good to grow tire some, and all the new’ that come along and then more. From 8:15 to 11 o’clock, with out a break, the lively program goes on. Most of the time it comes double, because the encores are boistorious and persistent and Field’s people are never surly and al ways resourceful. It began with a patriotic picture, count on Filed to be up to date. The handsome, finished and entertaining “middle,” Dan Quinlan, always picturesque and costumed like a prince, with the voice of an orator and the ease.of an actor, was in the thick or a magnificent picture of “all nations” at the start. Then came the music and the antics, the dancing and jokes, all that with Field and Tommy Donnelly in funny shindies: solos, the singing contingent— everything from an opera to a circus. An absurdity, “In Cuba,” gives Field a play on his-negro sketches and at the same time keeps up with the war procession. New features are Gruett, Beers and Gruett, a pantomine knock-about, alto gether original; Lelliott, Brush and Lel liott, in fantastic and finished music on violin, horn and bells; Everhart, the jug gler, i and the famous Faust family, from manhood to nearly Ibabyhood, in extraordi nary athletics. The closing is an elabo rate pantomine. silhouette on a white cur tain, which is both new and full of hilar ity. Doc Quigley’s electric dancing, the sing ing of Reese Prosser, Harry Sheldon, John C. Dickens and the Field “Singing Con tingent" are all remembered in the irutl titude that come from the stage. The Field minstrels are stronger than any other com bination of its kind known to*the country. TOMORROW NIGHT Young Men’s Christian Association Will Open New Home.

CONGRESSIONAL COMES HHT Election Will Be Held on the Eighth Dav of No vember. REGISTRATION 800 KS Are Still Open and Will Remain So Until the Eighteenth of this Month. The registration books are still open for the registration of voters for the Novem ber election which will occur on the Sth of November, for the election of members of congress. Under the law any person who desires to vote for congressmen who has not reg istered already can do so now And up to and including October ISth instant. All persons who have registered for any state or county election since January Ist will be entitled to vote, and all those who registered until the- 18th will also be en titled to vote in November for congress man, and in any other election held prior to January T, 1899. It is to be hoped that the registration will be largely increased so as to ensure a better vote for Congressman Bartlett from this county than was given in the election yesterday. While of course the return of the con gressman will be practically unanirrfis, his friends are anxious, ,that his home county should lead in tiffif is cast in the district. iT L For this reason a special. effort will be made to make his vote as large as possible and unless the registration is increased it is not probable that this can be done.
