What the Police Have 70 Say about the
New Tour Of Duty.

"What do think of the new tour Of
dutyP" said policeman who made his sen.
timents known only On condition that he
shouldn't be given away. ST think it's as
poor scheme as ever was devised. Why,
look at the result of it am loafing now,
because don't dare do anything else.
began my work to-day at one o'clock. /
quit at six. / have swing till midnight.
Then ! go on duty till six tomorrow morn
ing again. If go home for cat-nap dur
ing my swing, my wife'll have to sit up till
midnight to get me out of the house to re-
sumo my labor, and 50 stay away from
home. I'm like the man who stays up all
night so as to be up early in the morning.
keep awake during my swing SO as to be
awake when it is over. At midnight I'll
begin my patrol, tired out from the five
hours of work have done, and the six
hours of loafing, which is worse than work,
shall have been forced to do. IF l take
in prisoner, I'll have to loaf two or three
hours waiting for Justice Stilslng to open
his court. But I'll take mighty good care
not to find prisoner. I'll close my eyes to
all suspicious-looking strangers that may
have bundles of stolen goods on their back,
and sha'n't arrest anybody for any crime

Il. "That's about the size of it." said anoth-
er policeman. mo officers going to length
en- day of IL hours into day of 20 by
capturing an unnecessary prisoner. We
shall be less yigilant at the same time that
the working of the new system gives the
crooks of all kinds the widest possible lat
itude. The complaint has heretofore been
that the night force is too small for its
duty; but the new tour decreases instead OF
increases it in numbers TO let the men
have their day of, posts are doubled up.
] there's one man tonight, for instance, on
the territory bounded by Montgomery street
and the canal between Warren street and
Mill Greek. He never can do any kind of
service on such post as that. Thieves can
carry away two or three houses at one end
of his post while he's going to see if every
things all right at the other. This isn't
an isolated instance either. If didnt want
to point out safe stamping grounds for the
house breakers, I'd mention other posts of
which the same might be said, but guess

DEALT WITH THE eKps1Es.



A week or more ago band of alleged
gypsies encamped in the Glendale woods,
on the Newark plank road, and on Sunday
last another party located at Belmont and
West Side avenues. Between them they
owned score Of fine looking horses DR..
Parker, of Duncan and Bergen avenues,
wanted horse, and grocer John w. Rich
ardson, of Paramount Hall, thought he
was good judge of an animal The doc
tor secured the services of the grocer, and
on Monday last the pair visited the gyp-
sizes and made purchase The animal
was brought to Bergen avenue, where it
was tried, found satisfactory, and paiu for,
the consideration being $3.50. On Tuesday
the animal developed symptoms of the
heaVes. It was taken back and another
secured in its place. The second horse
would have been all right but for the fact
that it walked lame-after it had been
taken-and bled at the nose. Then it was
exchanged for third horse. The last one
didn't come from the gypsies. 1t is claimed
that it is farm horse, raised in Chatham,
this State, and was got in trade with the
gypsy horse after giving SIS sboot" money.
The last animal is sorrel. The exchange
was made by the well known trainer,
''Mabe" McMahon. The last one, some
say, is good sum-" but even about that
there is q variety of opinion. 81 1901

their Wonted expression of calm serenity.

Bile Acquaintance in 8Eid-Oeean.
New York, May 2S.-The steamship City
of Berlin, of the Inman Line, which arrived
at this port this morning, attracted consid-
cradle attention as she came up the bay
and the North River to her dock at Pier So
from the fact that her bowsprit was miss-
ing, and her PROV for distance of about
fifteen feet was smashed in.
'tWe had a very good passage" said one
OF the officers, s'until the night Of Monday,
the 18th, when we were approaching the
banks. The weather was very thick. a
dense fog obscuriHg everything a short dis
lance from the vessel. The engines were
slowed down, and we steamed along care
fully. There were indications that we were
in the neighhorhood of ice-felds or ice
bergs, and the lookouts were doubled and
q most careful watch was kept Suddenly,
just about an hour before daylight on Tues
day morning, the glass indicated the near
presence of ice, and almost Immediately the
lookout at the bow sung out that there was
ice ahead. Looking ahead we could see
great mass of ice, which looked more like
heavy bank of clouds. The engines were
at once reversed at full speed, but before
the course of the vessel could be checked
we struck the ice. Most of the passengers
were asleep below. The sudden checking
of the vessels speed, together with the
crash, aroused every one on board, and
many of the passengers ran out on deck
greatly alarmed. Their fears were soon
quieted, however, and after we had made
an examination and found that no serious
damage had been done. we proceeded on
our way. The weather soon afterward
cleared and we made good time The City
of Berlin brought over a large number of
passengers, nearly l,400 IN all; 1928 of
them were in the steerage, and $50 in the
cabin

MAJOR HUGH ABERNErHE.


Board of OMcers.
Nineteen members Of the board of Off
GERS met last night at the armory, with
Brigadier- General Steele in the chair, for
the purpose of electing man to the posi-
ton of Major, made vacant by the resigna-
ton of Mr.. John Parker. There were two
aspirants to the position exc Captain
Abernethy, of Company E, and ex-Captain
George B. Fielder, of Company d. There
was only one ballot cast, and Mr.. Aberne-
thy was declared elected by vote of ten
to five in his favor. Mr.. Abernethy, who
was nominated by Captain Briggs, Of Com
pany E, is well known as military man in
this city, and is well qualified for the posi-
ton. Mr.. Fielder was nominated by Cap
tain Herring of Company D. He is also
well known as good soldier, but his de-
feat was a foregone conclusion among
military men who are well informed on
such matters. 1t was expected that Cap
tain Mason. of Company F, would be a
competitor in the race for the position, but
he did not put in an appearance until
after Mr.. Abernethy had been declared
elected.

BLOWN UPWARD.

Curtain lectures were not very comfortable or
enhancing to the eminent Mr.. Caudle. But Bills
full lull in these lectures came upon that noedpub-
lie character like an explosive shock. This lull
was produced by an unexpected occurrence which
happened to act like dynamite upon the peculiarly
organized Mrs. Caudle, as follows. Walking down
Montgomery Street last Thursday afternoon, on
her way to New York. she suddenly noticed the
Clothing Store of SIMON. THE TAILOR. No. 40
Montgomery Street; and, exercising the woman's
right of investigation. she proceeded 10 PROFOUND
series of questions relative to price. and make
of goods and style of latest fashions. Suddenly.
becoming convinced that the lowest and best place
in Jersey City to purchase Custom Clothing was at
the aforesaid store she waited only too impatient
ly for the return of Mr.. Caudle from the clnb and
although that gentleman had that night purchased
a shoehorn for the purpose of enabling him to don
his hat in the morning he was instantly sobered
by the electrical announcement that he must on
the morrow go to SIMON. THE TAILOR. 40 Mont
gomery Street and get new Summer Suit. 1t was
not until Mr.. caudle had faithfully promised to
comply with the wishes of his loving spouse that
hawas finally allowed to go to sleep and dream Of
Simon. The Tailor, and . ooney Island swell. x@
