In these hard times a Jersey City woman
has found diamond dyes the greatest help in
e~conomizing. With their aid, her husband,
her children and herself have dressed COM
fortably, although nearly all the clothing
was old material, dyed over.
Diamond dyes make such beautiful
colors that goods dyed with them cannot be
told from new. Any one can use them, as
the directions are SO plain and simple that
no skill is needed. The color is there to stay,
and will not wash, wear, or fade out.
Silk, cotton, wool, dresses, cloaks, stock
ing, feathers, carpet rags, are all easily
colored by diamond dyes. They are specially
prepared for home use, and the makers guar
antee them the strongest and fastest Of all
dyes. Use a package and see how easy it is
to dive at home. The diamond are the origi-
nal package dyes, and no n should accept
n Of the inferior substitutes that are some
times kept by dealers for a large profit.
Many of the dyestuffs in diamond dyes are
original discoveries that simplify the work,
and cannot be had in other dyes. Insist
on having the diamond, and you will always
be successful in home-dyeing.

A SATURDAY NIGHT DANCE
Toughs of Greenville Enjoy Them
selves in Their Own Way.

selves I'm Their own Way.
For years it has been the custom of the
proprietors Of dance halls in the lower sec
ton of the city to give free dances, that is
ladies' are free and gents ave to pay
the nominal fee of twenty-five cents, on
Saturday evenings, and this season the Sat
urday night dance fever has reached Green
vile. The Saturday night dance was a
stranger to Greenville until a few weeks
ago, when the proprietor of a large hall,
which is within q stones throw of the Fifth
precinct station house, decided to inaugurate
it. 1t has been a success as far as attracting
tough young maidens and still tougher
young men is concerned. The Saturday
night dance is an affair for the "Children of
the Night" and once in the ballroom all
care, worry and restraint is laid aside.
This is particularly true of the
Greenville dance hall. When q
reporter of THE JERSEY CITY NEWS visited
this place one Saturday evening he found
the ballroom filed with light, painted wo-
men and girls, music, beer, tough youths and
an air of abandon that battles description.
You could smoke cigarettes, and even bad
cigars while dancing with yer Sunday
best.n You could not wear your hat, how
ever, as you were required to pay twenty
five cents for a hat check, and as a matter of
form you had to put your hat in one of the
many compartments provided for hat pur-
pose in a small room. As long as this require
ment was complied with, the floor manager,
a man of great Importance, would allow you
to expectorate on the polished floor, stand on
your head, or use vile language. While the
dances were in progress, walters patrolled
the floor regularly, and carried beer to those
who were willing to pay for 1t. At the end
of each dance the walters took particular
pains to give every gent" an
Opportunity to buy beer or soft stuff"
for ode ladies'" 1ntroductions were not
necessary. All a man had to do was to buy
drinks. The girls were not coy or bashful.
They would plump themselves down along
side of a man, grasp his been glass and with
a 'sHere goes drink it. The "Floor" Man
ager objected to nothing except a man
wearing his hat on the ballroom floor. This
is where he drew the line. Further than
this no one respected the o~fficious floor
manager. Every set managed the floor to
suit themselves and the styles of dancing In
some cases were most novel and interesting.
As midnight, the hour for closing, arrived,
the revel was at its height. No one grew
tired, and everyone stayed until the last
dance. There were many pretty. girls
there, whose features were not yet defaced
by the signs Of dissipation, while others
plainly showed the brazen mark of wild
living. Finally the band broke forth into
the strains of "Home, Sweet Home" 1t
seemed a mockery-"Home, Sweet Home,n-
in such an assemblage, but it told that the
wild dances were over, and then there was a
rush for hats, overcoats and wraps, a chasing
for partners and the crowd scattered.

THE CHILD MEMORIAL.

About four thousand francs has been
raised to establish the little hospital for sick
foreign travellers, which it has been pro
posed to attach to the American Presby-
terrain Mission at Tabreez, Persia, in mem
DRY of the late Theodore Child. 1t will be
remembered that when Mr.. Child fell ill OF
cholera he was taken in at the mission at
Tabreez, and nursed there for several weeks.
He died of a relapse after leaving there.
The Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions,
which has the scheme of the proposed mem
orial under consideration, hopes that the
fund for it will be still further increased.
The land for the proposed room has already
been secured, a matter Of some difficulty, be-
cause of the ~unfavorable attitude of the Per
sian Monammedan) government to Christian
wnrk-Hnrnef1S WeekLn.

CONTRACTORS WON'T PAY THEM
italian Laborers ON the Heights
Driven Almost to Rfoting.

Driven Almost to Rfoting.
The Italian laborers employed in construct
ing the new surface road on Congress street
of the Jersey City, Hoboken and Rutherford
Railroad have been unable for weeks past to
secure from the contractors the wages due
them. The result has been considerable
trouble in the neighborhood since Saturday
that last night threatened to end In riot.
Fortunately cooler heads prevailed, n the
men will endeavor to secure what they be-
lieve is due them through the courts.
Nelson g. Cullen are the contractors doing
the work. They made arrangements with
Antonio Monaco, a padrone, to furnish
agreed to work for s1.10 per day. Monaco
fitted up q number of hunks in a
sbanty at No. SAL Central avenue,
and for allowing the men to sleep there,
charged 81 a month. The place is filthy in
the extreme. Monaco also agreed to furnish
the men provisions. For these, it is said, he
charged an exorbitant price. He accepted
and food. cashed them, it is claimed, and
returned to the meh the amount left over.
This in some cases was six cents; in others,
a dollar.
Since January the italian laborers nave
been paid their wages but once. Last Satur-
day they were to have been paid, but were
not. Every evening since they expected
their wages, but were each time dis
appointed. Last night fully 300 men gathered
at Monaco's place, and threatened the
padrone. Police were on hand and quieted
the excited men.
Two italian lawyers lave determined to
sue the contractors on behalf Of the men.
Other employees of the road, not Italians, are
also anxious to secure money due them for
wages. 1t is feared that trouble will ensue
II the men are not paid this week.
Citizens on the Heights complain of the
way in which the road is being built. They
say IT Is being constructed in a most are
less manner

Italians Satchel.
John Levereno, thirty-four years old, an
emigrant from Italy with no selected resi-
dence in America, was heard at half-past
four o'clock this morning, in Hoboken. ex-
postulating on top of a cab with a hack
driver named Timothy O'Callahan of No. %
Brunswick street, this city.
The Italian was holding frantically onto a
grip sack, with the cab driver tugging at
the other end. Policeman Whitlock heard
the italian shouting, and went to ascertain
the trouble.
The Italian could explain nothing, as he
was not versed in English, SO WhitIock ar
rested them both. 1t was ascertained that
the cabman had bundled the Italian into his
cab at the Pennsylvania depot and had
driven him to Hobokeu. When he or
dered the italian to hand up
SIS for the ride the latter
would not, so Callahan claimed the valise.
At the Pennsylvania Railroad Depot that is
the method the cabmen pursue. 'Cabby'
was discharged with a reprimand by Re
corder McDonough, as the italian could not
state the charge.
