Borlands adv. Had a "Nip" for Friend Judge J. A. Mcllvaine was leaving the court house after the adjournment of court yesterday afternoon when he was stopped hy a foreigner of rather intelligent appearance who expressed a desire to visit a friend in the county jail. The man was very insistent about the matter and finally the judge remarked that the propei person to see was the sheriff who was in charge of the jail and who would grant the necessary permission.

"I did see the sheriff," remarked the stranger, and be wouldn't let me in. I sure would like to see that friend of mine for I want to slip him a little whiskey." The judge walked on and it is supposed that the foreigner is still wondering at the ways of a supposedly free land where a man cannot give his imprisoned rnend a wee nippy.

He was given a maximum sentence of ten years in the penitentiary and a mini mum of three years. Perotti's schene as was shown by the testimony, was to hold up a foreigner, whom he knew had money, demand money from him, under threats that if he did not pap over the sum asked that he would inflict bodily injury upon him. The prosecutor in the case was Basillio Dellel-lichi.

It wa? alleged that on a pay day at Marianna the defendant met the prosecutor and demanding money from him, the prosecutor, threatened to cut his face open unless he gave up the money. The prosecutor handed over what he had left of his pay $13.50. It appears that Perotti woiked the scheme smooth enough to almost cover up hia crime, always appearing to be sure there was no witness to the crime, other than the victim. It is understood there were other charges against Perotti of the same kind, but that the commonwealth could not get evidence to show the actual commission of the crime. In another case against Perotti and Manuel Doe, in which Tony Merio was the prosecutor, the commonwealth was unable to show that Perotti had been im plicated in extorting $5 from Merio, though he appeared to have been nearby.

Manuel Doe, who is unknown, and who was not apprehended, appeared to be the one who took the money off Merio. He and Perotti appeared to be working the scheme together. The defense endeavored to show that the charge against Perotti was a trumped up one, brought by reason of the prosecutor having it in for Perotti. Perotti is a young Italian. This case was sent to court by Alderman Elwood.

Gem Theatre "The Genius of Fort Lapawai" is the title of an interesting two reel feature which will be shown at the Gem theatre tomorrow afternoon and evening. The story tells about the love affair of a young soldier for the general's daughter. He asks for her and her father tells him to distinguish himself in battle. The young man who is an electrician fixes up an ingenius contrivance, which when the Indians attack the fort and are practically successful, explodes and annihilates the tribe. This saves the day and he is successful in his love affair.

The storv is interestingly told and will prove entertaining to all who attend. Frank Merrlwell at Ideal Manager Moore of the Ideal will offer a double program for tomorrow afternoon and evening.

13. Two miners employed in tbe Vesta No. 4 mine met a horrible death on tbe tracks of the P. V. C.

railroad Wednesday about 2 o'clock. The dead men are John Purlette and Hugh Cofella, of Monongah, Va. Tbe remains were prepared for burial and will be shipped to their former home. The two miners had just finished their work and bad stepped on tbe railroad tracks on which they intended to walk to California where they boarded. Hardly had they set foot on the rail road when an engine which was attached to a heavy coke train struck them.

Tbe two miners were hurled almost 30 feet along the tracks where they lay in a helpless condition while the heavy train rushed over them terribly mutilat ing their bodies. The remains were taken in charge by a local undertaker. They were both young men and had not been employed a great length of time at the Vesta mine.

For Esitsfl fsf Uti A very successful social was held last night in the Knights of Labor hall, at Courtney, for the benefit of the new Courtney band which is being organized among tbe young men of the town. The affair was well attended and practically everything offered for sale was disposed of.

The total receipts are not known as yet but it ts safe to say that the new organization realized a neat sum from the venture. New instruments, uniforms and other paraphernalia will be purchased in a short time and from the enthusiasm that is being manifest in the affair the band promises to be a thriving institution in a short time. "The Sorvtnt In the House" Can a wife love her husband too the startling "Tbe Servant international Norton will much?

Charles Rann Kennedy, the author, boldly declares that it is possible for a woman to neglect her own proper development wheu obsessed by a too worshipful love of her "lord and master" and that such a love may in time have the effect of turning the object of her devotion away from her, The awakening of the wife to a realization of this fact is one of the most dramatic incidents in tbis remarkable play.

COB29I PP. imm. mitvnhmis on Feb. 22 Pittsburgh will celebrate Washing ton's Birthday by holding one of. the greatest Athletic Carnivals to be held anywhere in the United States during the present indoor season.

The Y. M. C. A. of Pittsburgh is promoting the event and it will be held in the Pitts burgh Exposition.

Nirella's band will open the program at 7:45 P. M. Cornell University and the University of Pennsylvania track teams will head the list of notables. Members of the American Olympic Team will be pres ent, all of the leading Western Penn" sylvania colleges and schools will participate, and a host of athletes representing factories, athletic clubs', Sunday Schools, Y. M.

C. A. 's. public schools and every known organization supporting athletics, will appear. 1 Cornell and Pennsylvania will meet in a.four mile dual race.

This is the third successive year in which these two institutions have met indoors at this distance. Two years ago. in the 65th Regiment Armory, at Buffalo, Cornell defeated Pennsylvania in this event but in doing so was forced to create a new world's record for the distance. Last year, at the same meet, Cornell repeated tie trick and again crippled their own world's records. That evening, John Paul Jones, the present captain of the Cornell team, leaped into fame by running the fastest mile ever negotiated indoors, he covering the distance in 4:20 1-5.

This year this race has been transferred to Pittsburgh. Penn has the majority of last year's team still in college, including Maderia and McCurdy of the American Olympic team. Cornell has lost by graduation, Putnam and Berna. But the Cornelians still have the great John Paul Jones and Finch of the world's record team and a host of splendid material from which to select the other two men for the team. Coach agrees that Penn has the best chance for a victory she has had in years) because of the splendid work of Maderia and McCurdy but he significantly re-maiks, "Watth Cornell." One of the novel and attractive features of the Y.

M. C. A. Carnival will be a Factory Relay race and an Industrial Half Mile Run. Fifty of the Pittsburgh district factories will be represented by relay teams and this will be the greatest event of the kind ever held in America.

The Industrial Half Mile Run is open to representatives from any factory naving a team in the relay and the Port Pitt Hotel has offered a magnificent bronze figure of Mercury, standing over three feet high, which will be awarded to the winner. Clean athletic competition will be given a boost by the large entry of boys and young men in the events for Sunday School, Public School, Roy Scouts, Y. M. C. A.

and various club relay races. This is the real object of this monster event, to interest all the boys and young jnen of the Pittsburgh district in clean athletic competition. The events are open to anyone in the district and the Pittsburgh organization hopes that many of the athletically inclined boys and young men outside of Pittsburgh" will participate in this event.

She has been spending considerable time in the north in connection with tbe school and though she is not soliciting funds she is advocation scholarships, Among other things she told of the life of the southern whites and of the destitution to be found in most of the mountain homes.

Her talk could not but impress her hearers and it is expected to bear fruit in Monongahela. The Mite Box opening was most encouraging, about forty dollars being se cured from the little savings banks. Following the lecture and box opening a social hour was enjoyed and a. social committee in charge of Mrs Frances Underwood served refreshments. During the evening the male quartette com-posed of Messrs Hunter, McVicker, Todd and Elwood rendered several number which were most entertaining.
