A DISGUSTING SHOW.
Pugilists Stopped From Scrapping at the
Fake Indian Exhibition.

Pugilists Stopped From Scrapping at the
Fake Indian Exhibition.
Two Lafayette pugilists had arranged
to have finish fight on Saturday even
ing at Bergen Hall and the event was
billed as an attraction to the
Kickapoo Indian lshow, which is given
at the hall every night. One of the fight
ers was s'-Red' Halligan, q well known
Lafayette tough. The name of the other
scrapper could not be ascertained. The
pugilisJs were on hand early, and the hall
was crowded with dead game sports
from the "patch'' and lower Grand street.
AS the master of ceremonies stepped to
the front of the stage, bDetective Hottie
of the Fourth Precinct, who heard OF the
affair, jumped up from seat In the rear
OF the hall and threatened to arrest the
principals If any attempt was made to
hold the fight. This took all the starch
out Of the scrappers and they left she
stage, cussing Hottie and the whole
police force.
Ever since the Indians have been at the
hall, the residents in TIE vicinity have
been complaining about the undesirable
characters that visit the place and the
police will be asked to stop the show.
One night last week. the show had an
addition to its programme, which outdld
all the other disgusting spectacles. The
performance consisted of contest be-
tween several women saving wood. This
had a great influence over che size of the
audience, and the mashers and other
questionable characters. who congregate
there every evening, thronged TO the hall
and windows, aud were turned away.
The place is resort of chippies and
maShers and toughS.

Sensible Remarks of An Old Hoboken
Policeman.
''If all the landlords would do as this
man has done. the city would be rid OF a
great many prostitutes"
An old policeman gave voice to this
expression last Friday evening in the
Hoboken police station as the Sergeant
behind the desk was taking the pedlgrees
of two depraved young girls who had
been arrested as disorderly persons on
Information furnished the police by the
landlord of the house in which they occu-
pied furnished room. When they hired
the house they said they were working
girls, but their many male visitors proved
them otherwise.
"Hoboken caanot be said to be overrun
with dissolate women" the same police
man went on, "but the city would be
better of If some of those who are there
were IN the PenitentiaFy. In the densely
occupied part of the ctty, in the tenement
district. there is hardly block but on
which lives some family which sets bad
example to the young people Of more re-
spectacle households.
'Tt is very strange how these people
live. In tenement house of some eight
families there may be one woman, lover
OF liquor. There is hardly a saloon in
the city but has some dozen or SO
han ngerson. and with this woman they
soon become acquainted. The neighbors
become friendly with her and the result
is other women begin to go astray. Chill
dren are neglected, and their only duty
is to 90 for beer This is the danger of
tenement house dissoluteness.
sarhere is a house on Park avenue.
where rooms are occupied by two disso-
late characters, and the children of the
block, girls and boys, watch them re.
peatedly, and at night the young boys
watch as late as ten O'Clock to see if the
women will come out or il strange men
enter the house.
"Disorderly houses are bad enough,
but far worse are the discrderly apart
ments in tenement houses"
