is it to try to make old and
shapeless shoes look like new
ones. No man is well dressed
whose shoes are not trim and
shapely, and when you can buy
a pair of our handsome stylish

time and labor, and sacrificing
your self-respect for that

"FALL OF NINEVEH''
Recorder Eilbanks Sat Over
The 'late.
QUARTETf OF DAMSELS
Were the Only Gri«t brought to
The Mill.
At 11 o’clock this forenoon
Recorder M. B‘ Eubanks noti
fied Deputy Juice that court
was ready to do business.
Then an officer rolled back the
stone, and from the yawning
cavernous arch,that leads to the
Catecombs of Rome, there came
trooping a quartett of dark skin
ned Amazonians.
The first number on the pro
gramme was a description of a
“scrap” between Cora Phelps
and Georgia Cochran. In this
act several outsiders who hap
pened to be onlooaers in
displayed considerable histronic
talent as narrators.
Cora said that “dat long, slim
nigger gal made fun er mi heel
caws a feller gub me er stick er
candy. Den me en her bandied
wurda tell she up en low: ‘Say,
you litl sawed off shee-koon—ef
yer doan go long, now, w’y I’ll
castergate yer quicker’n perdir
dition could scorch er plume,' ”
or words to that effect.
“Wid, dat,” continued Cora,
“I retched up en grabd her en
de collar, an’ den we had it.”
The police say there was blood,
wool, hair and the ground tore
up, when they arrived, also a
navy blue sulphurious odor in
the ozone, and from what they
could hear, this last mentioned
phenominon was caused by
“langwage.”
Recorder Eubanks fined them
$5 or 10 days each on the street
gang. A smile played over Co
ra’s bulldog chin, while Geor
gia wore a sullen look, worried
withal.
Nellie Dodd, a young damsel
of uncertain years and charac
ter, was next called. Nellie en
tered a plea of guilty to a eharge
of drunk. The police say they
found her in the Northern sec
tion of the city, and that she
was as drunk as a “biled owl.”
Nellie said she had started to
a Darktown dance, but had look
ed too often on the corn when it
beeded.
Recorder Eubahki reminded
her that on an average of once a
month for over a year she had
been before him for drunken
ness.
“Now,” said he, “I am going
to give you a chance to sober
up, and if you don’t do it and
keep out of this court, you had
bett»r leave town when you get
out of the street gang.” He
sentenced her to pay a fine of
sls or serve 30 days. And Nelly
rapidly exchanged a sickly smile
for a full force of dry grins.
The other Amazon was Mary
Brown. Mary is a young woman
of about 20, with a 5-cents-a
pound ginger-snap color. When
she entered from the Catecombs,
she wore a jaunty look and was
chewing gum toibeat the band.
After herjnterview with the
Recorder, she departed those
coasts, wearing aj pained ex
pression, and was chewing the
rag to beat old Blanco.
lhe cause of the change was
what the Recorder said to Ma
ree.
From what a dude coon swore,
Mary is a lulu. Last night she
had an audience on one of the
streets of the Fifth wird. with a
Mias Lovie Samuels, and what
Maree did to Lovie was a plen-

SCAIP no MORE tickets.
Murray Escapes Severe Punish
ment
The sentencing yesterday at
May’s Landing, N, J , of Steph
en Murray, of Atlantic City, for
scalping railroad tickets, is an
other instance of the inexora
bleness of Jersey justice, and the
futility of hoping to tamper with
railroad tickets with impunity.
On the evening of August sth
Murray was arrested in Atlantic
City for scalping Pennsylvania
and other railroad tickets. He
He plead “not guilty” but was
committed to jail in default of
SBOO bail.
He was brought into court
yesterday under four distinct
indictments, and unexpectedly
pleaded guilty under all. He
was sentenced under one indict
ment to imprisonment for 60
days from the date of his incar
ceration, and to pay a fine of
$20.00 and costs. He also prom
ised to leave the state and nevei
to engage in ticket scalping
again. The other three indict
ments are held over his Jiead as
a further insurance of good
conduct.
The prosecution of this case
was founded on information
furnished by the Pennsylvania
Railroad company. This compa
ny has been instrumental in
bringing other violators of the
ticket scalping law to justice,
owing to the deceptions practic
ed on their patrons, and the an
noyances and inconveniences
which they are consequently put
to.
The practice of scalping rail
road tickets is a nefarious one,
and it is to be hoped that the
Pennsylvania railroad will con
tinue its good work until the in
sidious and palpable evil is en
tirely eradicated.—Philadelphia
Record, Sept. 24.
ty. Dr. McCall dressed Lovie’s
wounds, and several of the offi
cers testified that Lovie’s ear
was split open, a steak had been
carved off' her chin, a trocha had
been opened along her neck, and
that a Vesuvius shell had struck
her shoulder blade and made a
gap in it.
Mary was. sentenced to ten
days in the Catecombs, without
work. This was done, his Honor
stated, to punish M ai id while all
parties at interest awaited de
velopments in the Samuels
household.
And that’s why M iry had a
lamb—like look, as she returned
to the Catecombs.
This ended the “Fall of Nine
veh” for the day.
Mr. Ike May is smiling all over
bis face, for the rush is certainly
on at the big Kuttner store.
