DON'T KNOW" LAW.

Gutenberg Stable Boys with "Eazzers"
Intimidate Constable Billy Hogan.
Aaron Heiman entered the law Office OF
Smith & Mabon, Hoboken, day or so
ago and directed the lawyers to bring q
suit of attachment against George How

brought and writ of attachments was
issued against the race horse
Don't Know" owned by the defendant
and stabbed aJ the Gutenberg race tracks.
The writ was given to Constable Billy
Hogan. he being the best expert on skates
at the Court House. Tae Constable went
to the track last night, and one OF the
managers of The track kindly pointed out
the horse to Hogan. The Constable
walked up to the animal and was ABOUT
to take it when he saw a dozen
colored stable boys surround him. Each
black was tenderly toying with razor,
the blades of which CLEANED in the star
light in manner that inclined Billy TO
thing that a law against the manufacture
of tonsorial implements should be en-
acted. The stable boys did not
say word, but they looked q
dozen volumes. Billy sized
them up, let go his hold on "Don't
Know" and slowly wandered to the
street, where he boarded the first car for
Jersey City and safety. Today he will
make another attempt and will take Dick

VERY QUEER ARREST.

Policeman Kelly's Raid on Mary Quinn g
Rooms Not Clearly Explained.
In The JERSEY CITY NEWS of last night,
was told the story of the arrest of Mary
Quinn, Benjamin Lewis and Phoebe
Lawrence by Patrolman Thomas Kelly at
three o'clock yesterday morning. The
prisoners, who were all colored, were
arrested at No. 176 Steuben street, and,
from the story told by the policeman in
Court, the arrest looked ike an outrage.
The patrolmon testified that he peered
in through window and saw two women
and man in room together. That was
all he deemed necessary to make an
arrest and make a charge against Mary
Quinn, the owner OF the premises. with
keeDiug a disorderly house. Justice
O'Donnell held the Quinn woman and
fined the others for being disorderly per-
sons.

CORRlGAN'S NEW PLAN.
He Wants the Hoboken Board of
Education to Faribaultize His
Parochial School.

The exclusive publication in The JER.
sEY CITY NEWS last night Of the attempt
being planned by Catholic priests of the
State to secure the passage of a bill by
the LEGISLATURE granting State funds
0 the parochial schools, created
a genuine sensation and it
can be safely said that these priests will.
for the present at least, postpone their
contemplated action in the matter. In-
stead, it is said, they will now present
memorial to the Legislature, asking
that COMMITTEES be appointed
to investigate this question and submit q
plan to the next Legislature whereby the
parocbial schools will receive State aid.
The Rev. Patrick Corrigan, of Ho-
boken. is not in sympathy with
the plan proposed, and in week
or so will endeavor to have the Board Of
Education of HOboken adopt the Fari-
bault scheme of Archbishop Ireland
with regard to his large parish
school. Father Corrigan has consulted
number OF the trustees on the subject,
and also some of the leading citizens,
Catholics and Protestants of the city, and
feels assured that his ideas will be
adopted by the Board.
His school at present has an attendance
over 1000 pupils, aud to properly
support it is heavy burden. Father
Corrigan IS willing to turn over
his school to the authorities
for a nominal rental consideration. they
to conduct such school during certai n
hours as pure and simple public school,
having direction of the studies. en-
ployment of teachers, and all
other supervision. After school hour s
the premises may be used By the parish
for whatsoever uses the pastor sees lit.
Father Corrigan at first wanted
to insist that the Sisters
be allowed to compete for positions. and
be appointed if fit. but there was some
objection to this plan. If the school trus-
tees take this action, they have precedent
to support the move. Some years ago
the Baptist Mission Church of Second
street was used during school hours on
the very lines proposed by Father
Corrigan, and at present the Board
have as an annex school the
basement of the German Methodist
Church on Garden street, .between First
and Second streets, for which they pay a
monthly rental of $50, the church having
the use of the premises after school
hours.

sey City.

Alexander Russell webb a Guest in Jer-
sey City.
It was limited in last nights issue of
THE JERSEY CITY News that a particular
ly great lion would visit Jersey City that
evening. The lion appeared. It is Alex
arder Russell Webb, late of the Ameri-
can Consulate at Manila. Now there are
many ex-consuls who have visited Jersey
City without attracting much attention
but in this case it is different. Mr.. Webb
is one of the few Americans who have
studied Mohammedanisin from Moham-
medan authorities, and who believes in
the possibilities of the faith as an Amer1-
can religion.
So that the New York papers have
written him up extensively as 1.-The
Yankee Mohammed" and ''the prophet OF
Islamtsm."
Predisposed to investigate mysticism,
Mr.. Webb has studied the occult with the
Indian faduirs, the doctrines of Mahomet
with the teachers OF Islam, the thrones of
BuddhR with the scrib bes of India. For
seven years he has been Consul at Manila,
on the Philippine Islands. From this it
may be imagined how interesting
was the conversation in which
he bore a part at Mrs.
Robert G. Lyle's residence on
Suydam avenue last night, where he was
entertained at dinner, and SO absorbed
two hours late when the guests left for
the "evening at home" of Mrs. Hunter
Brown, where Mr.. Webb was guest OF
honor.
Mr.. Webb will be at Mrs. Robert g..
Lyie's week from tomorrow. where the
friends he made on this occasion will be
delighted to meet him once more.

large audience, to Kessler's Hall last evening.

rose, the phonograph looked into the faces of

to get in. The other ten were reporters and
stage managers, who ming led with the audience
to encourage the exercises.
The entertainment, however, went on just as
though the large hall were full, and the phono-
graph was kept busily engaged for over an
hour. 1t sang the latest songs, made speeches,
gave several selections from GIlmore's Band,
performed banjo and xylophone solos, ending
with a sketch, "Coal Sc a Ton," which was a
