Mrs. Chnskn, nee Bell Fellows, the
school teacher who married an Indian,
is mother. The child, bouncing boy,
was born on recent Saturday. Mr.. and
Mrs. Chaska have removed from Swift
Birds camp, and now reside in one of
the agency cottages. Chaska is n
changed Indian. He keeps himself well
dressed and associates little with his for
mcr cronics. Mrs. Chaska has wrought
the wonderful change, the visit cast no

Mr.. and Mrs. Chaska have received
numerous offers from museum managers,
but the offers wers not so liberal as for
merly and have ali been refused. Since
her marriage with the Indian Mrs. Chas-
ka has been snubbcd by her former lady
associates. 1t is said that the large sum
received by Chaska and his wife from
the museum managers has dwindlcd
away to almost nothing. Mrs. Chaska
recently borrowed $500 from an agency
cmployc, giving a mortgage on her horses
and carriage. Chaska is not cut out for

lAYANESE ANp GlTANAs.
The Different Styles-of Wild Dancers at
the Paris Exposition.

The Different Styles-o of Wild Dancers at
the Paris Exposition.
The Jayanese dancers were atroupe
of an altogether different character
and it is only just to credit the govt
faisande of the Parisians with prefer
ring them to the fragrant and turbu-
lentscontortions of the Gitanas. They
were neither noisy nor abandoned.
The music was slow, regular and saw
age only in timbre. 1t tortured the
nerves in an insidious and unsuspect-
ed way only-like certain forms OF
Chinese punishment, which at first
seem wholly bearable-and did not
assail them violently, as did that of
the Spanish and Egyptian virtuosi.
And to it's anphrased unmodulated
monotony the dancers moved with
trailing steps in slow-infinitely slow
curves, wreathing their arms, or
rather their hands, with the wrist as a
pivot, in a sinuous sedateness quite
impossible to characterize or describe.
As they circled about the little
stage, a solemn-visaged youth in
perhaps-full c%anonicals, surrounded
by a group of attendant girls, they
seemed TO be performing a series of
barnyard evolutions. as of a slowly
strutting cock ~encircled by his harem
of hens. 1t was decorouS to the point
of solemnity, and the sense of measure
was certainly preserved to an almost
measureless degree. The dancers
were neye carried beyond themselves
by the entrain of the dance, but very
visibly and ~agreeably controlled and
regulated their gestures and poses.
In this sense the performance was
clearly an artistic one. But at the
end of a half hour the observer who
did not find it monotonous must have
been a determined seeker after sensa-
tions.
The elaborate but limited sinuosity
of the waving hands and f1xible wrists
seemed at last perfectly insipid, and,
instead of being Intentional, merely
the reduction to a Fictitious appear
ance of order, of movements in reality
hap-hazard and fortuitous, by a slow
ing of the pace to such an extent that
the sense of slowness disguised the
lack of character in the design. After
the Gitanas any exhibition of decoruIn
was agreeable, but before long the
emptiness of pure decorum made itself
disnally perceived, and one could not
help thinking that the Partisan ANA
tours who went into OBSTACLES over the
tavanese did not analyze their sensa-
lions with sufficient assiduity.-W. G..

BOTTLERS WILL FIGHT.
Preparing 10 Certiorari the New
Liquor Ordinance.

Gottfried Wild, Charles Hallert and
August Kramer, drivers for a beer bot
tier in Union Hill, were arraigned in the
Second District Police Court this morn
ing for violating the new liquor ordinance
by selling without $3.50 license.
Norman l.. Rowe gave notice that the
Bottlers' Association are about to certi-
orari the ordinance, SO far as the sale of
bottled liquors is concerned. They claim
that when they sell two boxes of beer they
dispose of more than five gallons.
The Werts liquor law imposes a $3.50 IL
cense on sales under five gallons, and
they claim that United States license is
all they require to sell over five gallons,
and that the city has no right to exact q
license for such sales.
On the other hand, it is urged that in
two cases there are twenty bottles; that
the sale is by the bottle and not in bulk,
and that even if their view is right, the
Werts law still requires them to pay the
license fee.
1t is further urged that the city charter
gives the Board of Aldermen the right to
impose license for the "sale or transfer
of any spirituous malt or vinous liquors"
without regard to quantity and that this
clause justffies the ordinance
The hearing will be resumed before
Justice Wanser next Monday morning,
when the Corporation Attorney will be
present.

fined James German, of No. 80 Hudson
street, $25 for selling without license.

Selecting the Advisory Members
and Taking Anonymous

The new Democratic County Committee
met at Roche's Hall last night. The meet
ing was largely attended and delegation
of Hobokenites, led by William Stuhr-
John c. Bess on, Councilman Erlenkoet,
ter, Martin Stelges and ex-senator Rabe,
was warmly greeted.
The meeting was called to order by
Chairman Stuhr, and after some routine
business was transacted. the committee
filled all the vacancies in the unrepre-
sented precincts in the committee.
THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE.
An important step was next taken, and
it was decided to appoint an Advisory
Committee who shall have all the rights
and privileges of the members OF the
County Committee, except that of voting.
The Advisory Committee consists of
one member from each district and no
member of the County Committee is
eligible. 1t will be the duty of the
Advisory Committee to consult with and
advise the County Committee and to OBJ Dc
the sole judges in any dispute or con-
tested primary. The action of this COM
mittee will be final.
The following named persons were ap-
pointed as an Advisory Committee

The Finance Committee appeared
happy. The Chairman reported progress
and stated that during the week 81, SOC
had been collected. This money is to be
used to prepare for the fall campaign.
The subscription list had very many
CASH signatures, the donators saying
when subscribing that they dared not
quite yet make known their names. The
County Committee received the report
with much satisfaction.
William K. Ritter was the only man
who created trouble at the meeting, and
he did it innocently by introducing a
resolution that every candidate to the
Assembly from this county, this fall
shall be required 10 pledge himself II
favor of an eight hour working law

THE NEWS OF HOBOKEN.
ONE OF Il GANG OF CLEVER
COUNTERFEITERS CAUGHT.

He Had Been Passing Fad Silver Money
in Mutschler's and Muhlenbeck's
Saloons-Gus Crane Gets Hoyt's Place
in the First National Bank.
At midnight last night well dressed
stranger entered the saloon of William
Mutschler and ordered drink, in pay
nent for which he rendered a silver dol
lar. His manner was suspicious as he
picked up the change, but Mutschler
thought nothing of the matter until the
fellow had got outside.
The dollar was lying at the back OF the
bar, and Mutschler unwittingly picked u
up and toyed with it. Its weight struck
him as being wrong, and he discovered
that it was counterfeit. He went to the
door OF the saloon and noticed the man
leaving Charles Muhlenbeck's saloon,
which is diagonally opposite to his.
He informed his friend that he had been
paid bad dollar by the man who had
just left, and on looking at the second
coin rendered, discovered that it was
very clever counterfeit. Policeman Det-
ters passed at that time and he was In
formed of the matter, and the direction
the man had taken was pointed out TO
him.
He soon came upon three strangers, OF
whom the man who had passed the queer
money was one The two other men
made off after taking package of money
from the man, whom the policeman i'm
medlately after arrested. While on the
way to the police station the man threw,
away handful of coins, but none of
| them have been found.
When searched, about 81 worth of good
money in small change was found upon
him, besides number of counterfeit
dimes and half dollars.
The man is one of gang that has been
flooding the city with counterfeit stuff for
the past few days, the limitations in all
cases being very good.
He gave his name as John w. Murray,
but he refused to give any address. AL
though the case should properly
have been sent before United States Com
missioner Muirheid, Recorder Nc
Donough committed him to the County
Jail for trial
