"Can l get something to do heref'
said a youthful looking person lately
to the proprietor Of the Alcazar bar
Der shop ON O'Farrel street, adjoining
the popular theatre of the same name.
Yes responded the proprietor, I'VE
will give you a trial. What is your
name?'
Edward Wilson, sir" said the
youth.
So Edward came and went, cleaned
up the shop, brushed customers
clothes, and learned to ''shine" shoes
in a way that would have done honor
to a professional. The cleanliness and
adaptability of the new hand was
much noticed, not only in the matter
of work, but in dress.
what a handsome boy" said many
a customer. A visitor would always
take a second look at him, his APP
pearance was so striking. About
medium height and inclined to be
plump, the bootblack had a round,
open, pleasant face, two large black
eyes, a medium-sized nose, a very
pretty, expressive mouth, and the
whole o~vertopped with a wealth of
snort, rich brown hair. Both feet
and hands were small, and showed no
signs of hard labor. His age was not
e twenty. One fact in particular
was more than once remarked-the
bootblack's unusually we'll developed
hips.
Always pleasant-spoken but retiring,
the young man made many friends.
No work was neglected, and Edward
was always puncJual. Barber Enkel
began to think he had found a
treasure in the line of trustworthy
help.
One day toward the end of last week
a customer came in. He looked
startled as his eyessfell ON the figure of
the young bootblack, and acted in an
uneasy all the time he was
being shaved. As he was about to
leave he called the boy TO him, and
the two conversed in a low tone for a
few minutes. Next morning the boy
was on hand as usual. He gave
notice, however, of leaving, and was
paid off.
During the morning the customer of
the previous day stepped into the shop
and inquired for the boy. Upon being
told he had gone, he smiled and said:
THAT was a young lady in disguise.
Is it possible that non of you here
discovered that fact?" All his hearers
looked astonished, and so they were.
No further information would the
caller furnish.
1t is believed that the young woman
is we'll connected in this city, and
being rather wild, curious and ven
turesoine, has gone into the ways of
men to see what she could find out.

A BLACK AND TAN AFFAIR.

John Chinaman Too High Toned to Iron
sambo's Shirt.
Detective Hottie made a clever capture
early this morning of two negroes who
attempted to rob Sing Long, IA Barrow
street Chinese laundryman, of the cash in
his money drawer. The negroes gave
their names as William johnson aud
John Denver. They said they were sail
ors who had been in the city but two
days.
This morning one of the negroes took a
washed shirt to Sing Long and asked him
to iron it. Sing Long refused. and the
negroes became obstreperous. Sing Long
has a policeman's club. He was about TO
club johnson when Denver grabbed the
club. johnson then grabbed the money
drawer. Both broke away and ran.
The Chinaman was standing on the
corner of Jersey avenue and Grand street
rapping on the pavement with the club,
when the detective came along. He saw
the two negroes running across the canal
bridge and gave chase. Both were cap
tured, but no money was found in their
possession. Justice Stilsing committed
both for trial.

fully covered by insurance. The cause Of
the fire is a mystery. Much damage was
done to the polished stone in the shed.
During the ire a morse confined in the
stable was rescued Just in time to save

Newark's BOARD of Works.

! As a Newark bill we are in favor of
the Board of Works measure. We
have taken pains to say this specif
cally in the past. We only object to
IS application to Jersey City.
Still We know no reason why an adj
yocate of the bill should make wild
nisstatements in the House for the
AXE of catching votes. When Mr..
Hardin asserts that no one can be
found in Newark who is opposed to
the bill, he proves either that he does
not read the newspapers or that he is
not overscrupulous in his assertions.
There is a very well defined opposi-
ton to the bill, not in the Republican
organs alone, but also in the indepen-
dent papers, such rs the Sunday Cal
and the Eoeaing News.
Since the majority of Newark peo-
pie are democrats, we believe the ma
jority favor the bill. The way then
to have silenced hostile criticism and
at the same time to have protected
the interests of Jersey City was to
have adopted the amendment sub
hitting the changes to popular vote.
Were the Newark people afraid OF
their people that they refused to do
so?
OF course it is too late to look for
any Improvement in the bill since it
has gone to the Senate, where Colonel
Barrett of Newark looks after Jersey
City's interests.

DO WOMEN Wand to vote ?

Some time ago the Philadelphia
Times printed a Symposium" of the
views of well-known women on the
subject of Woman Suffrage. Mrs.
Louise Chandler Moulton wrote:-"I
have never desired suffrage for wo-
men. / think woman has her sphere
and man his sphere, and that these
spheres are not interchangeable. New
ertheless, il suffrage were given to
women, | fear that l should feel it my
duty to vote. But /, for one, would
prefer that no such additional burden
should be laid upon me-"
To the question whether she would
vote if the privilege were given her,
Mrs. Celia Thaxter replied:-"I have
only TO answer, No." Mrs. Henry
Ward Beecher wrote:
IF suffrage were given to me, | GER

A splendid News Beat.

THE JERSEY CITY NEWS has as
usual been beating the ECening Jour
nal every day on important local news
for weeks back; but the occurrence
had grown to be of such commonplace
regularity that we were tired of di-
recting attention to it.
Yesterday, however, THE NEWS
scored the news beat of the season.
We presented TO our readers the full
lines OF the eight Jersey City Assem-
bly, districts, with absolute accuracy
just as they We're laid out in the bill
which was introduced In the Assem-
bly,, last evening.
This was altogether the most i'm
portant item Of the legislative session
from the local point Of view, and THE
NEWS laid it before the public twenty
four hours ahead of any other paper.
THE NEWS is always ahead.

Nothing seems to burn into the
memory and heart of a child as an I'M
deserved punishment, howevertrifling
the matter may seem to the adult in
flicter. In some children of the sunny,
hopeful type the wave of Indignation
and helpless, unspoken protest against
unjust correction passes away, and
leaves apparently no trace. To other
children, with sensitive natures
or more rebellious dispositions, un-
just words of reproof kindle fires of
rage, which smolder with sudden
persistence under the ashes of seem
ing forgetfulness, ready to burst out
violently and Unexpectedly. If this
seems an overdrawn picture. one has
only to look backward to ones own
childish days, and to recall the time
when careless treatment by an elder
first taught us to be bitter, unforgiv-
ing, ~resentful.
A child's sense of Justice Is as keen
as his heart is tender, and this is one
OF the qualities most necessary to a
noble character; a quality that must
be blended with truth and honor and
self sacrifice 20 give the right balance
to dispositions which would otherwise
work harm. A child's justice is al
ways tempered with mercy to those
he loves. and when in the home he is
justly and tenderlv dealt with, he
learns little by little that higher sense
of Justice towards all with whom he
comes in contact. When his own
small rights are carelessly and contin-
ually thrust aside, he, too, learns to
play the brigand, to invent devices to
achieve the might which he has
learned makes right. -Hagper's BGzaT.

COLONEL GEORGE BRINToN Nc
CLELLAN HARVEY has always been a
trifle handicapped by his huge name
and his connection with the fake end
Of the New York World. There is,
however, u general impression that he
possesses a good deal of ability and
strength of character. He will have
a chance to show the stuff he is made
OF in his new post of Commissioner of
Insurance. If he Institutes a vigorous
crusade against the wildcat insurance
companies, lately shown up by the Sec
rotary of State, he can, like Othello "do
the State some service" and he can
make some reputation for George b.
McClelland Harvey besides.

THE qualities needed in a lay
judge are good judgment and
knowledge of the world. Gottfried
Kruger possesses both of these in
an eminent degree. He is an
acquisition to the bench so far as a
layman can be so considered. OF
course, the lay judges are an anti
quated anomaly and the ooner they
are abolished the better. But as long
as we must have them, let us hope
they will all be men of the stamp of
Judge Kruger.
