ANOTHER WILD FAKE.
A Court Bill Which Only Exists in
the "WOrld."

The unreliable Jersey page of the
World today said Charles G. Black had
prepared a bill t, be presented to the Leg.
islature creating new Criminal Court,
aud that the same bill curtailed the power
ana jurisdiction of Judge Lippiucott.
This is absolutely untrue. Charles C.
Black has prepared no bill whatever, and
no bill creating criminal court has been
prepared by any one,
| saw Mr.. Black and asked him what
truth there was in the statement. He
replied that it was false. He said:-
Judge Hayes, of Newark, recently
sent me copy of bill that had been
drafted there, creating the Office OF an
additional Judge to have concurrent
jurisdiction with Judges of the Supreme
Court. The object of the bill was TO give
the Judges of the Supreme Court sit
ting in Circuit more time to attend
the Supreme Court aid Courts of Errors
and Appeals. The proposed new Judge
would have no criminal jurisdiction
whatever and could not even sit in
Oyer and Terminer- IL was proposed by
the bill 10 have this judge hold term of
court once month.
"Mr Black said Judge Haves sent him
the hill as President of the Hudson Coun
ty Bar Association, with request
that it be handed to Judge Knapp
for his opinion. Mr.. Black gave the bill to
Judge Knapp. That is all he knew OF
the matter and the only bill affecting
courts that he had heard or
M'DERMoTT SAYS IT'S NONSENSE.
EX-Judge Allen McDsrmolt said:-
"rnis is pure nonsense. The jurisdic-
ton of the Courts of Common Pleas and
Quarter Sessions is detued by the
constitution of the State. and no act of
the Legislature can cur, all or enlarge
them. A bill as been drafted in New.
ark for the creation of trial
Judge TO try civil cases In the Circuit
Court in counties of the arst class. The
bill provides for the appointment by
the Governor of Judge who shall
in the absence of. or a
the requesting Supreme Court Justice
try cases in The Circuit Court. The
bill was prepared to relieve Essex
OF the accumulated cases in the
Circuit Court. Last winter
an act passed the Legislature giving the
presiding Judge OF the Common Pleas
this right, at the request of the Supreme
Court Justices, but question has been
rrised MS to its coustitutiOnality, because
It gives these Judges jurisdiction not
pcrovided in he constitution. TO over
tome his it has been proposed to create
rial Judge, otherwise the bilt is almost
IDENTICAL with the act of the lost Legisla-
lure"
II do not believe the bill will pass, for

DEATH OF A GIRL LePER.

Both OF Her Eyes Had Been Eaten Away

New ORLEANS, March 81. - New Or
leans has novelty in the shape of a hos
pital for lepers, which until Saturday
contained four inmates. 1t is situated
on Hagen avenue near Gravier, in an
isolated portion of the city, and the lep-
ers are treated there. Treatment plays
a small part in the matter, though, as
the disease is incurable, and the hospi-
tai is designed simply to prevent lepers
from mingling with the rest of human
kind.
About a month ago a young white
girl, Miss Naomi Ribbi, came to the hos
pital from Iberville Parish. She be-
longed to one of the Creole families in
that section of the State, and was only
20 years old. Iberville is the home of q
number Of lepers, and from some one
there the young woman contracted the
terrible disease. When received at the

yond even the alleviation of her pain.

Next to the United States, the coun-
try to which there is the largest immi-
grafton of Europeans in these times is
Brazil. Notwithstanding all the dis
turbances of the year in Brazil ship
loads of steerage passengers have been
put ashore every week at Bahia, Rio
and other ports on the eastern seaboard.
We judge by the monthly returns thus
far received that the years immigra-
ton will run up to two hundred thou

Spain. The republican government
holds out even greater inducements to
immigrants than were held out by the
government of Dom Pedro. It pays a

THE CAPTAINS PUDDING.
How the Master ContrIved to Get ALI the
Plums.

How the Master Contrived to Get ALI the
Plums.
The following story is told Of sea
captain and his mate. Whenever there
was plum pudding made by the cap
tain's orders all the plums were put
into one end Of it, and that end placed
next to the captain, who, after helping
himself, passed it to the mate, who
never found any plums in his part of it.
After this game had been played Tor
some time the mate prevailed on the
steward to place the end which had no
plums in it next the captain.
The captain no sooner perceived that
the pudding had the wrong end turned
towards him than, picking up the dish
and turning it round, as if to examine
the china, he said: This dish cost me
two shillings in Liverpool" and put It
down, as if without design, with the
plum end next to himself.
"Is it possible" said the mate, taking
up the dish; ST shouldn't suppose it
was worth more than a shilling" And
as if in perfect innocence, he put down
the dish with the plums next to him
self.
The captain looked at the mate; the
mate looked at the captain.
The captain laughed; the mate
laughed.
"I'll tell you what, young one," said
the captain; you've found me out; no
we'll just cut the pudding lengthwiSe
this time, and have the plums fairly
distributed hereafter. Blade.
