Before going, how- ever. he had filled his ebony hide full of amber lHquid, with a high collar, containing a certain percentage of al- cohol, which if taken in sufficient quantities Is calculated to produce a state of intoxication. He had a large guantity of such goods tucked away in his interior department, but evi- dently the cargo was too great for the capacity of his “hotd” for he didn’t hoid it long There were in- ternal dissentions with the result that the beer was cast out and covered a large area of the .opera house floor, much’ to the disgust of those who had to sit in that section of the house The opera house management did not care for the second hand article and so "Rastus” was given the choice of cleaning !t up, or going before Jus- tice Hoagland, and having his case disposed of. He preferred the clean- ing process, and so this morning he went to the opera house, and re- moved all gvidence of his spree. Another man, this one of caucaus- ian extraction, was also busy with soap and water, but his troubles were the direct outcome of a tremendous liking of tobacco. He went into the play house last evening with a large chew snugly stowed back of one cheek. He evidently bas a pound or two of fine cut and some plugs about his clothes He would put a half pound or so Into the recesses of his masticatory apparatus, chew it up, and then expectorate upon the floor He managed to cover a considerable space in this manner. The manage- men’ did not approve of the practice of using the floor for a cuspidor, and he was given the same alternative as the Ethopian gentleman He also pre- ferred to‘clean The practice of spitting on the floor of public places Is not only a most disgusting practice, but it is a men- ace to the public health as well, and it iz the determination of the authorl- ties to stop it even If It Is necessary to lock up a few of the offenders as examples WAVERLY JEWELER HAS VERY George Washington Furnished the In- spiration—Gold Nugget in Window Worth $135.
