For sometime past the banjo was
the fad IN society; it was succeeded
by the mandolin, which is now
relegated to old lumber rooms, and
now the latest craze is the concertina.
The banio aud mandolin are bad
enough when badly played, but the
concertina is the most excruciating
of them all. Get yourself a concer
tina to be in the swell, and go sere
nading under her window; like the
Italian hand-organ man, you vii
be host to yourself.

DENNY sULLIVANs ESCAPE.


EHe EOuhS kAODOAeM FOlkttclau ~ as
Nearly Murdered.
Frank Gerragena. fifty-two years of age,
living at No. PA Clinton street, Hoboken,
drank too much beer on Thursday night, and
when he reached home about seven o'clock
and observed the wagon of Denis Sullivan,
who lives next door, standing in front of his
own place, he became angry and shouted for
Sullivan. Denis came to the door with his
hat on and was met by the italian. Hot
words were exchanged. Sullivan declared
he would leave the wagon there until morn
ing. s.Then I'll kill you" yelled the Italian,
as he ran up the street. Sullivan went into
his back yard, thinking no more of the mad
Italian. In a moment hurried footsteps
were heard and Frank came running through
the alley. In his hand he brandished an
axe.
Sullivan was standing in a corner. The
Italian espied him and made a bolt for him.
The axe was raised in the air. Sullivan
was frightened and tried to passify the son
of Italy. But his blood was boiling and he
was bound to kill Denny. The latter realized
his predicament with an Infatuated, drunken
Italian, and his thoughts of decapitation
were not the p-leasantest. The two ran about
the yard, Sullivan lodging the axe and the
Italian tripping over. Denny. But Denny
could not get to the hallway, for the Italian
had his eye ON it. Finally Denny was cor
nered. As Frank was about to deal a fatal
blow Policeman Fenton, who had heard the
rumpus, came into the yard. He jumped at
the Italian and knocked the weapon from
his grasp. He placed him under arrest, and
he was booked as a disorderly person. The
ragena was sent up for thirty days by the

A FOND H STORY.

To the Editor of the Jerse0 City Neas;-
Would you please permit a constant reader
just a little space in your valuable paper!
If SO, 1 may be able to tender, not only your
self, but the patrons of your worthy paper,
likewise, some very interesting and profit
able information.
Ny son, who has lately graduated from
one of New York's best medical institutions,
had occasion to call upon a very sick friend
but a few nights ago, and was deeply sur
prised on learning the following story-so
very true:-After my son had carefully ex-
amined the patients sad condition, he dis
covered that the illness was caused through ex-
cessive indulgence of liquor, and the frequent
changing of air, or, in other words, coming
out Of a warm place to go right into a cold
place. And how shameful to nave to say
that this happened right here in Hoboken,
and on a Sunday, too. NY son holds out no
very bright hopes of his patients recovery,
and states that his patient is a Jersey City
young man, and while over here ON a visit
to some, as he, the young man, calls friends,
was tempted to partake of the beverage"
and though the young man spoken OF IS not,
as my son declares, given to drink, yet he,
the patient, said ssthatit was quite impossible
for him, on this occasion, to refuse THE
seemingly kind offert of his friends, as every
liquor store in Hoboken appeared to be open.
especially where both he and his friends
were then looated-on Newark street between
Hudson and river Streets
ssThe patient declares that had he met these
hospitable gentlemen in Jersey City, he
would then surely have N excuse to re-
fuse their kind offer, as all the liquor stores
are obliged to be kept closed on that day OF
all days-Sunday. The liquor stores are
not obliged to be kept closed las you know
in Jersey City alone, but / find that on Sun
day they are obliged to be kept closed in
Newark, and in nearly every city but Ho-
boken. The breweries must surely have a
mortgage on Hoboken. l am also informed
that a great deal of unnecessary evil now
likewise exists right here in Hoboken. Why,
the very same young man whom l speak of
as the patient, told my son .'for the little
while he was over here in Hoboken he saw
more gambling than ever before in or
throughout his whole past life, again right
| here in Hoboken.n And further declared
that this terrible evil game was being carried
on in cigar and candy stores, even club
! houses and in the saloons of theatres here in
Hoboken after the show was over, and that
| the game is either played by chips, cards, or
| other material. Isn't this a nice reputation
for Hoboken to havea Why, l am likewise
informed that even the Hoboken police and
detectives; yes, even the newspaper reporters
| indulge in the game and are in the majority.
| Dear sir, / am a fond n truly sincere
mother, and l highly appreciate the care and
protection of the young, and for this reason
/ trust, dear sir, that you will, not only ex-
| cuse me for this statement, but will likewise
even strive to have wrong weighted.

GEORGE KRAUs BADGERED.
His sympathy for a ssPoor Wife'' Got
Him in Trouble.

Hill tA
Mr.. George Kraus of No 120 Old Bergen
Road, GreenviIle, a prominent member of
the Greenville Yacht Club, was made a vic
tim of the old badger game on Wednesday
night in New York City. Mr.. Kraus is en-
ployed in the Office of the Central Railroad
in New York, and on his way home on that
evening be walked along Sullivan street. A
pretty young woman aecosted him on
that t~horoughfare, and told him that
she was In want of food and
on the verge of starvation. She poured a
pitiable tale into his ear and asked for aid.
She told him that she was married and that
her husband after beating her drove her
with her story. and believing that he had an
opportunity to bestow charity he decided to
help her. ssIf you don't believe what / tell
you come to my house and see" said the
young woman, and George decided to inves-
tigate her story. He accompanied her to
her home at No. 1874 Blocker street. The
woman left him in a room IN the ground
floor for a few moments while she went up
stairs, she explained, to see the landlord.
Mr.. Kraus waited for her to return, but
she never came back. Then he suspected
that everything was not all right and he
felt in his pocket for his pocketbook. 1t was
not there, neither was the twenty-five dollars
and the communication ticket he had in 1t.
He rang a call bell, which was responded to
by a woman and demanded his money.
just then the door was pushed open and d
man entered. The man feigned a look of sur
prise and indignation and demanded to know
what the rumpus was about. krauS ex-
planned that the woman who had just left
him had robbed him. The man then de-
clared that she was his wife and told Kraus
that if he did not make himself scarce there
would be an exhibition of the manly art.
Kraus left the house and found Policeman
Rudy, who went to the house and arrested
the woman, who said she was Jennie Wat
son. The alleged husband, who said he was
Thomas Mcnamara, was also arrested, but
the pocketbook was not found. The pair
were arraigned in the Jefferson Market
Police Court yesterday morning n were
held for examination On a charge Of grand
larceny.

OUR SHOP GIRLS.
Not Easy to smile and BE Pleasant
from g fiII 5-Nervous Fatigue
from Trying to Please Everybody
THE Remedy.

i" And it's o to be q slave
Along with the barborous Turk;
Where women have~neyer a soul TO save,
this be Christian work"
at is fearfully trying to nerve and brain,
said a young in one of Jersey City's
stores yesterday, .this being forced to look
pleasant all day long when one is ready to
drop with fatigue and vexation."
There are thousands of such tired, over
worked women behind shop counters and in
offices. Nothing so quickly brings nervous
irritability and exhaustion, and robs the body
of its elasticity and health as trying to smile
and humor the countless p~eculiarities of ting
throng of buyers.
In addition to the real fatigue from long
hours is added this nervous fatigue which is
still more wearing.
If statistics prove anything they show how
| surely Paine's celery compound recruits the
nervous energy of just such weak and over
taxed women, Headaches cease; the tired,
anxious expression leaves the face; neuralgia,
a sure sign of lifted nerves, vanlshes, and
white cheeks. white lips, white blood gradu-
ally gain the color of health if Paine's celery
compound is taken with reasonable regular
ity.
From the first taking of celery compound a
feeling of hope and encouragement comes
over the invalid. This is the universal testi-
mony of thousands.
Paine's celery compound sends new, pure
blood to the heart and takes away the weary
feeling that comes from debility.
The ~coStlieSt condition for a man OF woman
in any station in life is chat of weakness and
disease. Paine's celery compound permanent
ly cures every kind of nervous disease. 1t
quickly furnishes new material to the worm
out nervous system. The forms that nervous
diseases take are legion Dyspepsia, sleep
~lessness, headaches, neuralgia, heart trouble,
rheumatism, depression and nervous prostra-
ton. Paine's celery compound goes to the
root of the trouble: 1t creates a new appe-
tite, and prepares the digestive organs to
build up q strong healthy body.
Strange how people shut their eyes to the
plainest facts and live at ease in the midst of
evident danger. Scrofula, eczema, jaundice,
scalp and skin diseases show as plain as sun
light a Initiated state of the blood. Paine's
celery compound soon eliminates every trace
of impurity from the blood.
Sound. lasting health, with its attendant
happiness, surely comes from Paine's celery
compound.
None are too old to be helped by PaineAs
celery compounds none are too young to be
benefited.
Celery compound is the great modern
remedy for stomach, heart, liver and kid
neys. 1t makes pure, vigorous blood, and
quiet, healthy nerves. Try it.

PROF. DENsLOw WAS SICK.

Members of the Union League Club were
disappointed last night because Prof. Van
Buren, Denslow, LII. D., did not turn up to
lecture about "The Economic Opportunities
and Duties of the Republican Party" The
learned professor had suddenly been seized
with sickness, and, of course, could not be
present. Instead, however, Captain EN-

was a treat. He gave some of his choicest
recitations. Harry j. Buchanan 'tauld his
queerest Stories William J. Machin sang
his best songs and Louis P. Koch played his
most attractive violin solos. Prof. E. L.
Cranmer accompanied with his usual preci-
sion and finish. The impromptu programme
gave everybody who listened to it extreme
pleasure. Afterwards the artists were en-
tertained in that hospitable manner which
so distinguishes the Union League Club.

SENATOR DAILY TALKS CHINESE
An Interesting Laundry Case i'm the
Hoboken District Court.

A dispute over payment of money resulted
in a suit in the Hoboken District Court yes
terday between two Hoboken Cinnamon, by
name Wing Wah and Wah Lee. Wing Wah
once had a laundry establishment at No 81
First street. Hoboken. Such a lucrative
business did Proprietor Wah conduct in the
collar and cuff cleansing line that his friend
Mr.. Wah Lee, concluded to make him an
offer of SIPS for the shop. 1t was agreed to,
a verbal contract being entered into, in the
presence of two more Cinnamon, Ching Poy
and Wah Foon. When Wah Lee assumed
charge of the shop on November IL last he
promised to a all the money he had not
given in, which was half, in three weeks
time. At the expiration of the three weeks
Wah Lee exhibited no inclination to settle;
so Wing Wah threatened suit.
"Me no c~aree,nn defantly answered Wah
Lee.
Forthwith Wing Wah retained Senator
W. D. DAILY as Counsel Wah Lee secured
Counsellor Alec C, Young, and yesterday
the whole crew of Cinnamon, including the
witnesses of the contract and an interpreter,
who was in for Wing Wah, survive or perish,
gathered in the Hoboken District Court
room before Judge Paxton to have a pre-
liminary examination.
The swearing-in process was a bit difficult,
as the Cinnamon persisted in pocketing the
Bible. They saw no plausible reason for
kissing the book, and merely looked at it.
Wah Foon was first on the stand. Coun-
sellor Young asked what church he attend
ed. He could not understand, So the inter-
prefer, whose name sounded, the Senator
said, very like Jim DAILY, repeated the ques-
tion in the laundry language,
"Oh, the Presbyterian Church," said the
Senator.
mo, he doesn't. I think its some Baptist
mission, y replied Young
mission school" said Jim Daily.
Mott streetgn asked Young.
"No, Fit avenue" replied Jim. with a
grin.
NOW, Mr.. Foon, tell US all you know
about this case, y said Young.
He knew said the interpreter, that the con-
tract had. been made and that but s362.5 so
was paid IN account.
"Now, ask him when the contract was
made, !" said Young.
November 1872 volunteered the Senator.
sWait a minute, Senator, you're not a
Chinese interpreter" CALCULATED Judge Pax
ton.
'sWell, that's what he said, anyhow was
the response
eLet him say it then.'
