Show JOHNES WHISKERS. i . i THEY UPSET THE RULES OF THE PEN AND BAFFLE THE SHEARS. I . James -Stewart Serves His Sentence and Comes, Forth Smiling Judge Zane ( pan the Recent Raid The "i'oseui-ite "i'oseui-ite Mining C'a-ie Court Notes. Adulterer Howard's whiskers, those elean cut aud polished Dundrearies with which the windo were wunt to sport and frolic, have caused another muss in the rules and regulations regu-lations at the penitentiary aud thui far Deputy Warden Vaudercook and the glittering glitter-ing blades of those mighty shears have been defied. As much was expected for too long has the distinguished convict beeu cultivating cultivat-ing the rare crop to part with them without a desperate struggle, lie might be induced to part with empires, the dozen idols of a single heart, but those side-whiskers never. It was thus that the resolute Van found him self defied and supported by the rules of the institution Howard's face, might have, been dinwhiskercd by one full sweep of the scissors but that the prisoner raised his arm and in the. name of a whole calendar of bronchial affections, bc.L'L'ed that it be left to the decision of Dr. A. K. Smith, the surgeon of the peniten- j tiary. "I've suffered the torture of the damned from quinsy," shrieked the prisoner, '-and whilo elixirs and the far-famed nostrums ..f the world of medicine have failed, these have, riven me relief." The plea for 1 if i; was too much for even the Mars-like warder, and after a moment's reflection it was agreed that the case should go to the surgeon for a de.ciMou. The same i'ogic would not reach the fall fashion-plate at. the prison, however, and divc-stcd of that dear old Prince Albert that has on' crony-like crony-like aud arm-in-arm with Johnny for ther-e many seasons was stripped from him. The low - neck vest, the trousers ttiat have whipped about those gentle limbs went next, and then that pleated bosom in whose shiuimr folds slumbered slum-bered the legends of the adulteress' love fell flat upon the liuolciumcd floor. Presto! and John R. was a hewhiskered zebra moving mov-ing sullenly to the narrow little chamber that awaits him. in the meantime thf Dundrearies are still waiting the decision of Surgeon Smith who is sean hina: the text books to ascertain if poss'ble just, what the relations are between the hirsuite appendages aud bronchial annoyances. Came Out .Smiling. "Ten months in the yen ain't so bad after all," chirruped Jim Pterlin as he made his appearance before the minions of the mar-f-hal's office in a bran new suit of il? han'-ine. han'-ine. downs and surveyed his .Apollo-like figure fig-ure in the mirror. This is the firrt day's freedom free-dom that Fterlin has enjoyed for many a weary day. A year ai;o he was hunted down by the policemen at Providence, and brought in on a charge of adultery. He was convicted aud sentenced to a years' imprisonment im-prisonment and now with all credits under the rules of the institution comes forth. "I dttuno."' continued Stewart, "but what Its ood descipline for a youiiar man. It keeps him cut of mischief, anyway. He can use the library, he sets the daily papers and when he behaves himself all thnt he wan to eat. Of course I'm clad in et out," snd shaking hand-, with th; warden he w inued tii way to the Union Pacitb- depot where he boarded t!ie first train for his old haunts around Providence. ";o Along with the AVork:" "Don't mind what the papers say," said j Ju'lire Zane to a deputy United States mar- shal this morning, ' hut go right alon as the law directs and when your term of office has expired you'll tind comfort and a ciear conscience in the reflection that you have done your duty. The instructions to the grand jury arc by no means original. A similar policy was appealed to some years ago and if I am correctly informed brought about results that were at least temporarily wholesome. Politics does not figure in the work at all and when the period arrives thai any party is driven to lawlessness for its prcservationsatau savett heaven and honest men will not." It is not likely thit the court will repeat his instructions to the grand jury with reference to els that were recently arraigned ar-raigned with such judicial sevcr'ty, but v. ill simply wait and watch for the results of a still hunt that has been in progress since the body recently adjourned for refreshments and fresh air. The Vosomite Case. Hon. D. C. Lyles is now custodian of a volume of testimony and pleadi.igs brought out in the case of Joseph E. Gallagher, trustee, trus-tee, vs. the "fosotaite Mining coinpan-, that will f-irnish food for a fortnight's reflection, j The short-hand notes cover ;20 pages and work on the tran-'iript, which was begun under the direction of Court Kepoiier Me-Gur.
