Miss Hamilton, of Newarlx. Tries to Leap
From a Hoboken Ferryboat.
As the ferryboat 'sHaekensack" from
New York was nearing the slip at Hoboken
yesterday afternoon, respectable appear
ing woman was seen acting very curiously
near the stern of the boat. Her actions
gave one of the deck hands the impression
that suicide was intended and getting as
near to her as possible without attracting
the woman's notice, he waited until she
got over the gates across the deck
and then caught her as she was about to
leap into the water, On the arrival of the
boat at the ferry slip on this side the
woman said she was Miss Helen Hamilton,
SO years of age, of ITO Bank street, New
ark. She was taken to the Hoboken sta
ton house, where she refused, though
terribly excited, to reply to any questions
relating to the causes which led her to at
tempt to take her life Her sister was
telegraphed for and arrived from Newark
about 8 o'clock. Fsom he it was learned
that Miss Hamilton had been acting very
queerly lately, and ihaa she had left her
home Friday morning to go to Coney
Island. 1t is surmised by her relatives
that she became desponent on account of
the course of true love not runnin smooth
ly. At the earnest solicitation of her
sistsr, at 9 o'clock last night, she was al
lowed to depart for her home in Newark.

Frankforter sausage man and a perpendi-

muscle and ring the bell-were there in
full force.
The attendance yesterday, though fairly
large, did not come up to the expectations
of the managers of scheme. The attract
ions are there, but the swarm of people
expected don't swarm to any extent. They
are conspicuous by their absence. How

FIXED HER OWN TERM.



Us All Ninety Days.
Caroline Clos, the white ronnder who re-
Gently welded herself to a coal black
'brudder" named Williams; fat and
greasy blonde, who gave the name of Mary
Nelson; a ragged little colored man who
said his name was Davis, and shriveled
wench, fond of her pipe and tobacco, who
answered to the name of Rosie Smith, were
arraigned before Police Justice Stilsing
yesterday morning. The police had made
raid on the 6 Crows Nest, and lassoed
this choice quartette. The Judge heard
she revolving story of their misbehaviour.
and made up his mind to give all but Mary
Nelson ninety days in the Penitentiary.
Mary Nelson" the Court soliloquized
"seems to be less bad than the rest. This
is the first time that I have seen her; so 1
guess I'll let her off with a thirty days
term"
"Oh," put in Caroline, ST guess that
ninety days is about the right thing fer all
Of u.s.
His Honor made revised mental review
of the situation, and concluded that Caro-
line was pretty nearly right. So Mary was
sentenced with the others to ninety days.
Then, after she had got down stairs, Caro-
line began to upbraid the Court for g bein'
a little rough on us, Judge"
The commitments had been made out,
and BY this time all are doing their time.

of the Academy.
Manager Henderson, of the Academy of
Music, is making active preparations for
the Fall season, and has already made
dates with companies that should attract
large audiences to the house. The TAT
TIER is informed that none If any of the
old hands will be retained in his service.
This is due to the fact that the ssboys'' did
not display suitable activity in selling the
tickets for the benefit given to Hyams, who
is dignifed with the title of Assistant
Manager of the place of entertainment.
The boys insist that they exerted their best
efforts to dispose of the tickets. tits likely
that owing to the unpopularity of Hyams
it was utterly impossible for them to get
rid of the tickets. If Manager Henderson
allows Hyams TO sacrifice the Academy
employees to avenge his personal griev-
ances, ne is not the man the TATTLER takes
him to be. HYams connection with the place
of entertainment is the most serious draw
back the Academy has to encounter. The
TATTLER is acquainted with hosts of persons
who are SO prejudiced against it because of
their dislike of Hyams that they will not
go near it. Manager Henderson would
benefit himself if he were to put some one
in Hyams's place. 1t is said, however, that
Mr.. Henderson was forced to lease Hyams
with the Academy. Even if that is so, he
can remand Hyams to the background and
place the management of things in the
hands of more popular and more efficient
individual

ASKING EXEMPTION.



Among the petitions pending before the
Board Of Finance is one asking fnr the
exemption from taxation of the Faith Cure

ted BY Hoffman & Herbert, counsel for
Rev. Mr.. Hancox. The latter named gen.
tleman IS the pastor of the Faith Cure
Church, on Erie and Sixth streets. Three
years ago his father interested himself in
the establishment of home for friendless
women on New York Bay. The site was
decided by the elder Hancox and his wife.
and the home that has been established on
1t is known as Mount Zion Sanctuary. A
corporation was formed in 1882, to conduct
the establishment. The petitioners say that
!" all OF the buildings on the site are
used exclusively for religious and charitable
purposes, and have been so used since
August 1882, and that divine services have
been held on said property daily since that
that time; that the average attendance at
the services is ESQ per week, exceeding 49,
O00 per annum; that the Christian school
supported by the corporation has an annual
attendance of $4,000: that during the year
from September LIST, 1882, to September
LIST, 1888, 1908 meals, of something more
substantial than Faith, were served free to
the INDECENT and destitute of the city; that
over LOCO meals have been gratuitously
given to the deserving poor of the city an
nually since that time; that hundreds
of homeless women have been housed and
clad, and that many are now being sheltered
and ted and daily taught the Word of God.
Notwithstanding therehgious and charitable
uses to which the property has been pnt, it
was assessed for taxes, s'the petition con-
tinues "by the Mayer and Aldermen of
Jersey City, contrary to the statute exempt
ing religious and charitable associations in
1882, for 1895; in 1883, for 1852. 40; and in
1884, for $23S.40; and that the tax bills for
these amounts were made out against J. w.
Hancox, instead of the Mount Zion Sane
tuary."
Counselor Herbert said to the TArTLER
yesterday, that none of the taxes had been
paid, and that unless the Board of Finance
cancels them, the Sanctuary will go into
Court on certiorari proceedings to set aside
the assessments.

LONDON, August 20. The opinion is gen.
eral that the imperial meeting at Kremsier
had no special political significance, Or else
no correspondent on the spot knows any
thing about it. The accounts are filled with
details of personal appearance, dress,
ornaments, and menus; who killed the
most stays, which Empress was the more
beautiful, and how often the Emperors ex-
changed kisses. 1t is strange that nobody
thinks to quote Shakespeare, "'Tis time
to fear when tyrants seem to kiss" The
police precautions were more extraordin-
airy than ever. During the preparations an
inspector was stationed in every room, and
there were police huts every few yards in
the park. A week was spent beforehand
in what the police called expurgating :"
the place. A good story is told of the
Tsesareyitch's walking with the Austrian
Grand Duke. They met with crowd. The
Tesesareyitch hesitated but seeing the
Duke begin pushing his way through he
followed, saying, All, one is in Austria
(and not in Russia).

"J4CKv LAIRD TAKES 4 RIDE.
And Ruins His White Flannel Suit I'm q
Vain Effort to Get TO New York.


Everybody knows Jack Laird, the Secre.
tary of the Democratic State Committee,
and everybody that does know him knows
that Jack is as particular about his per-
sonal appearance as any man in the State
of New Jeraey. In fact, Jack is always
dressed in the height of fashion, his clothes
are made of the finest material, his shirt
bosoms are models of Chinese laundryism
and his collars are of looking-glass glossi-
ness. Whenever Jack leaves his home
down In Englishtown, in Monmouth
County, he takes train that carries him
through from Freehold to New York with
out stop before the train reaches Jersey
City. One day last week he had an i'm
pertant engagement in New York and he
was more than usually careful in arranging
his toilet before starting. The day was ex-
ceed!ngly warm, so Jack HE'D him to his
wardrobe and selected from his stock of
clothing a suit of spotless white flannel
that fitted him to ct" got himself up in
his usually careful style and started
for the depot. His toilet had taken
longer than usual and he arrived
at the depot just as a train was rolling out.
His whole mind was on reaching the place
of his engagement on time, so he hoped
on the front platform of the first car he
could reach. 1t didn't matter to Jack "
if it was freight car. He could walk
through it to the passenger cars in the rear;
And he complacently leaped on board. AS
he turned to pass through the car, he
observed, to his dismay, that the car had
no door. The train was in too rapid motion
to permit him to leap off, and it dawned

on the little narrow platform, in his suit of
white, catching all the dust and ashes from
the putting locomotive directly ahead of
him. The prospect of stand, in such
situation, through the long ride, without
stop, to New York, was all but comforting;
but 6 Jack could only grin and bear it,
while the fireman and engineer grinned
and poked fun at him.
'sIt's rather damp here | I" shouted the
250-pound Secretary to the engineer, as the
steam from the engine besprinkled his
beautiful white flannel
"Oh, that's nothing!" returned the
other. Just wait till we take on water.
You'll get whole hogshead of it then"
The prospect of a shower bath was all
but pleasing to the unfortunate gentleman;
80 he appealed to the engine hands to allow
aim to get in with them. They finally
yielded to his entreaties, and two minutes
alter "Jack was one of trio in the
engineers cab. But what change had
been wrought in his appearance in those
'wo moments His shining white collar
md cuffs were snlirched all over with coal
lust, and his white flannel suit-well, it
vas utterly ruined. When Monmouth
Iunction was reached, the portly Secretary
suffered second conniption. The train
urned the wrong way.
Good Lord 5" exclaimed Jack, Don't
his train go to New York ?'
He was on the Philadelphia express, and
iwo hours later he autographed his friend
n New York that urgent business in Phila-
ielphia made it imperative for him to post
bone his New York visit to some other day.
