We saw the Java dancing girls today,
and five more g%orgeously attired damsels
It would be difficult to imagine. The vel
vets. the beautifully embroidered silks,
the jewelled head dresses, the massive
gold ornaments, all help TO make the
spectacle a splendid one. There are five
GIRLS and one man. The girls are about
twelve and sixteen years old. One of
them is particularly attractive, n a fair

Slipping a bracelet of bells on each arm
she glides to the centre of the stage, then
gracefully folding her arms she turns her

making all the bells tingle unsteady.

The following story is told of the late
Larry Jerome, the witty New Yorker
One day he was leaving an expensive
London hotel, when the proprietor asked
him to write a sentiment, with his auto
graph, in the register. He instantly
wrote;--"I came TO this hotel for change
and rest. The walters got the change
and the landlord got the rest"

Patrolman McDermott Goes to sleep IN
a station House.
Patrolman John McDermott, of the
Fifth precinct, was recently promoted to
be acting sergeant over the head of an
old and reliable roundsman by the new
Board of Police Commissioners.
He should have gone on duty at nine
O'Clock last night, and remained until
twelve O'Clock. He went into the station
house at nine o'clock, and retiring TO the
sitting room pulled off his coat, shoes and
one stocking, and reclined on the sofa for
a siesta. About midnight the sergeant
entered the station house to go on duty
ant he was surprised to see the acting
sergeant stretched at full length on the
floor, where he had fallen from the
lounge.
When asked how he got there, he MUIR
INJURED that he must have fallen asleep
aud rolled off the lounge, thus acknowl-
edging that he had been asleep while on
duty. The Sergeant reported the circum-
stances to Captain Lange this morning,
and the Captain at once Suspended him.
Char2esof being asleep on post will be
preferred and other charges will also be
made. He was appointed OF the force by
Isaac Struble, a republican, and Police
Commissioner Benson is said to be his
standby.

The Jersey City news. (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1889-1906, 1889-09-06

WE regret to say that in his article
upon the publication of the State
Laws, yesterday, Major Pangborn
made several statements regarding
this paper-not by name, but by clear
designation-which he we'll knew to
be untruths. We do not propose to
correct them seriatim. We leave that
to him.
We only desire to allude to one OF
his allegations. He says the Eoepiag
Journal has the largest circulation in
the county. If he had qualified this
by making it apply to daily papers,
we would not have attempted to deny
it. But we have every reason to be-
lieve that The SUNDAY MORNING
News has considerably the largest
circulation of any paper published in
Hudson county.

The Maiah's Wall.

Nv NSJo L
The Majah made al unpleasant
exposition of himself and his paper
yesterday, and those who read IT, OF
had their attention called to 1t n
joyed a good laugh. The MaJah -
angry because our only competitor
was not designated to print the State
Laws, and he pretends not to know
the reason in order that he may make
vicious attacks upon the State officials
who were in charge of the assignment,
The Majah lays great stress upon
that section of the statute which pro-
vides that the publication shall be
made in both Republican and Demo
cratic papers. That is exactly why
his sheet has no standing in court. he
would hardly have the effrontory to
claim that the Ecening Joa271at is a
Democratic paper, and it is equally
certain that it is not a Republl-
can one. 1t is disavowed
and despised by all the members OF
that party, and it has not supported
more than half the candidates OF the
party in the last ten years. 1t is at
war with the National adlninistra-
ton; it is on bad terms with the Re
publican State officials; it is openly
and agressiyely hostile to the Repub-
lican County Committee. Surely,
then. if is i'm no sense a Republican
paper.
But being neither a Democratic nor
a Republican organ it could only
obtain the order to publish the laws
as an independent paper of large cir
culation and influence, The State
authorities very properly considered
that it fell below the standard in these
respects, and declined to recognize it.
That is all there is in the busl-
ness. Summed up, it amounts
to this:-The BDening Journal would
like to be republican when it pays to
be with the party, and independent
when it pays to be against the party.
By reiterated acts of treachery it has
lost its party standing, and the pun
ishment of it's INSCRIPTIONS dealing is
beginning to come home. 1t would
be more graceful in the Majah to bow
to the rod in silence rather than to
attract the public contempt by pueriie
%squeaIing under chastisement.

This paper Is Democratic I principles
and is Independent IN its vie0s ON all
local questions.
Doing I'm Young Kcan.

We drew attention within a few
days to the chorus of endorsement of
young Mr.. Kean, of Elizabeth, in
which a large number of Republican
papers had united. We thought
and we have not seen any reason
to change our mind-that the word
had gone forth from Camden
that he was to be doomed, at
least as a trial candidate for the Re-
publican nomination for Governor. A
majority of the Republican prints
lifted up their voices in praise, as they
were bid; but since our last article
discordant notes have rung out upon
the air in a way that must be very IN
~barrassing to the Boss and his lieu
tenants.
This is the way the Central Nea0
Jersey Times talks out to the Plain
felders, for instance
It is carving the Kean boom joke a little too
far to give OUT, as was done the other day by a
correspondent of the New York Star, that Will
lam Walter Phelps has declared for the Elizabeth
statesman as a suitable Republican candidate
for Governor. 1t is a harmless amusement
in the duh season for a paper like the
New Brunswick Fredonian to indulge its
humorous bent by writing such BOOM
ing bombast, in Mr.. Kean's behalf, as we quoted
in our funny column last week, but it is quite
another thing to give a serious turn to the boom
by trying to identify Mr.. Phelps with it. No in
fAllippOf renthlinan etIroIu mba faIac aaN ,c;Ja
in his party can wish to have it go into a canvass
with such a poorly qualified candidate for Gov
ernor as Mr.. Kean.
This is of those stabs that kill.
The blade is pointed and shar pened
with truth, and it goes right into the
vitals of the gay young %pretender and
his scheming hackers.
If MIR. Kean runs, all the voters of
his party who take a serious view OF
their political duties will refuse to
participate in the farce, and will vote
for Leon Albeit, who they know will
be a thoroughly good Governor.
CHICAGO wants the Worlds Fair so
very, very much that it agrees to
transport European freight intended
for the exhibition free, from the sea-
board to the City of Sin. New York
will have to bid high to beat that.
We are expecting to hear some metro
5olitan enthusiasts offer to tow
Europe yer here, anchor it off Sandy
Hook, and send it back in good con
dition when the show is over,
IT is intimated that the Freeholders'
Ring wants to get control of the next
Board in order to cover up the finan-
cial record of the present one. 1t
would unquestionably be done to adj
mirati on. The record would be o V
cred with something so much worse
that nobody would ever think it
worth while to dig down for it.

a Photographic outrage.

There is an amateur Photographic crank
in Boston who has developed a morbid
passion for a most unusual pastime. Ii
his identity were ascertained-up to date
it is a mystery-he would be apt to suffer
from various kicks and other unpleasant
things, inflicted by persons who have I'M
dergone annoyance at his hands.
The Charles River at this season of the
year is a fayorite trysting place for aquat-
ically disposed lovers, who paddle about
on the calm waters after shutdown, and
spoon and spoon and spoon until the fishes
come up to the surface and gasp for
breath. Naturally the dark of the moon
is considered the most appropriate time
for these anlatory pursuits, n it is at
such periods of lunar observation that
the crank photographer above referred to
comes to the front.
Armed with a camera, he paddles q
light silently about over the still
surface, until he finds himself upper
ceived in the n~eighborhood of some small
craft, the suspicious ~immobility of which
betrays the presence of Cupid at the
helm. Then, without making the slight
est noise, he trains his instruments upon
the unconscious victims, springs a little
MAGNESIUM flash light, and Jerks stimuli
taneousiy a string that exposes a dry
plate for a fraction of q second. This at
any rate is supposed to be his method,
though the astonishing swiftness with
which he skips away down stream after
performing an operation of that sort has
thus far precluded all possibility OF in
vestigation.
The outrage has been perpetrated so
many times that the owner of the canoe
must now have quite a gallery OF lovers
afioat, all ready for exhibition st so much
a head to the thousands of curious people
who would undoubtedly be willing to pay
literally for a view of the collection. And
meanwhile it appears that engaged. or
counting couples who &c out in boats to
spoon upon the Charles are rapidly be
coming fewer, owing to the fear of being
'took' unawares by this scamp with the
magnesium light Chicnqo Tribune.

he stoops slightly as he walks, and his

Southern Girls at the Springs.

Every season must have its speclai

belle at the "Old White" white Sulphur
Springs ever cares to be anything else
there except that or a matron. OCCASION

Miss Triplett. OF course they were rival
bellies, and the stories told ABOUT bneHl
are many. The first endeared hersell TO
people, not only because OF her beauty,
but because of her wit, which was as
sparkling as a diamond and which, like
the diamond, cut nothing but the glass
which deserved it. Miss Triplett was as
beautiful and as expressionlesS as any OIL
the ladies that Vatican painted.
The best story ever told about them IS

Tho Stebbins Collection.

The first and probably the only notable
picture sale OF the winter will be that of the
Stebbins collection, which will presently be
displayed to the public In the American Art
Galleries in Madison square. The catalogue Of
the pictures has already made its appearance
and Is q very remarkable production. No
American collector has ever prepared Buch q
catalogue Of his possessions. nor has any sale
ever been heralded by work OF like charac-
ter. There does not appear to have been
any hesitation at expense. 1t Is filed with
etchings by all the best etchers. who contribute
to it not merely their Names but their best
efforts. We do not know what Is the price OF the
edition de lure. with its large paper its loose
Impressions, its signed proofs upon the choicest
paper. and its admirable Typography but
as for the people who are making colleo-
tions OF catalogues Of pictures. and there
are several. we should say that these people
would be very grateful to Mr.. Stebbins for 1t at
any price. The print sellers, who have ac-
Quired such prominence In New York In the
last few years. would certainly charge very
considerable sum for series OF etchings
equivalent to the series comprised In the Steb-
bins catalogue. A fine catalogue implies hne
pictures. and the Stebblns exhibition and sale
will be the event OF tho season.
