To the Prisoners at the Stockade—Al
lows Fifteen to Go and Spend To
day as They Please.
YOU DON’T NEED A LANTERN
When Mayor Miller went Into his of
fice at the city hall yesterday morn
ing. he heard from all around the
sound of the Christmas noise, and
looking out of the window he saw the
people busy buying something, no
matter how little, but something, for
the morrow. There were people with
bundles, whether of toys, of clothing,
or of turkey, It matters not, and they
were preparing for the morrow. Every
body was looking to the morrow.
Then the muyor. looking down Pop
lar street at the busy throng, thought
of the stockade, tho chalngang, at the
lower end of the street. HJfi mind
wandered adown that busy street,
winding among the people who were
free to go and free to come, until It
reached tho stockade. Then he thought
of the poor devils, pie drunks and tha
disorderlies, the loiterers, and the
lighters and the loafers and the vaga
bonds. all shut up In that place, and
for whom the morrow held no charms,
but instead only tho miseries of life.
There was a consultation with the
recorder. It was the way In which the
mayor talked. It was not tho order
to do this and that, It was the kindly
suggestion, the don’t-you-thlnk-so way
of saying it, and out of it came the
Instructions to Foreman Callaway, who
was as happy as if tho finance com
mittee had put an extra ten per on bis
monthly salary, to sort the sheep from
the goats down at tho stockade, and
all thoso who were not wanted for the
stato courts to pass on, to be liberat
ed. and In timo to do something for the
morrow.
Thoso fifteen liberated devils may bo
back In tho, prison before tho spn goes
down tonight. They may bo drunk os
lords before dinner, but they are freo
when Christmas dawns this morning.
For those left behind in tho stock
ade,- there will be a dinner of barbe
cued pig and thero will bo fruit and
things, enough to bo a Christmas din
ner. The Angular substantial menu
will bo augmented by the extras, and
after all the rough edges of. the day lif
misery may be rubbed off by the kind
ly, act bn the part of the city authorl-
to flpd honest stationery. Just come
here and you could cfcooso reliable

RATHER PAY THE FINE
THAN WHIP THE BOY
BOYS OF TENDER.AGE BEFORE
THE RECORDER FOR PUN
ISHMENT.
It has been noticed that recently
whenever tho recorder gives the par
ent, or tho person in charge, the ‘op
tion of allowing tho court'to punish
by fine the many cases of boys under
the age limit'for petty offences, or 1)6
taken out In the city prison and whip
ped, there Is a decided reluctance to
whip. ,
Whether this Is because tjio parents
do not think the boys guilty, or wheth
er they hud ruther pay tho fine, no
matter how hard to raise, Is not
known. But this has been the case
several, times recently.
Yesterday two small boys, ono eleven
and the other nine years of sge, wero
brought up by Officer Reddy for
chunking rocks. The officer found
them on Second street.,and a lady on
a porch of a house came near being
struck by one of the boysr They gavo
ns an oxcuso for the chunking that
other boys threw nt them and they
only throw rocks back. '
Tho recorder gave the aunt of tho
boys tho option as usual, but sho bnlk-
ed. Sho wanted to know what he was
going to flno them, and did not ,llke
the Idea of the hoys being whipped,
even If she did have the Job, The
court saw that she hesltifted, and fined
the boys five dollar* each. -That was
more money than sho had calculated
on, and she gave In, turning the Job
of whipping tho boys over to her big
strapping son.
It will bo at least twenty-four hours
before those boys chunk rocks again
A Dangerous Operation
Is tho removal of tho appendix by n
surgeon. No one who takes Dr. King’s
New Life Pills Is ever subjected to
this frightful ordeal. They work so

JAMES K. HACKETT.
That the romantic drama Is far from
dead is evidenced by tho success James
K. Hackett has met with this year In
"The Prisoner of Zen da." It will bo re
membered that this play was one of the
R rentest successes or a decade ago. It
i thought that In this day of serious und
ethlcul plays, there Is still a largo, audi
ence

the romantic stage. It Is a stirring
drama without a moment’s dullness, and
tho good.phi-fashioned levo story, which
seems to have gotten Into disrepute, is
to be found hero In ull Its strength. In
addition there Is on abundance of flffc
sword play that once marked tho great
aptor of the old dayg, and even In these
days has made James K. Hackett one of
the lending romuntlc nctors in America.
. It Is hardly necessary to recall the
story of "Tho Prisoner of Zendo,” which
enjoyed a vogue that few English novels
had, and was the beginning of tho ro
mantic movement In this country und
England. Combining the dAsh and vigor
of tho romance of Alexander Dumas
wjth tho lightness of touch und hutnor
that belongs to our own day, Mr. Hack-
ott created a hero In Russondyll that
will undoubtedly live for a long time.
Mr. Hackett has gathered ubout him
ns mnny of tho original cast as it has
been possible, and the production, It Is
