LAW FOR POLICE JUSTICES.
Judge Hudspeth Discharges Tramps
From the Jail.

ELOtl ~
Judge Hudspeth severely criticized TO
lice Justices yesterday for sending
tramps and Migrants to the County Jail.
Chief of Police and Justice Turnbull.
of Kearny, on May 9, gathered in seven
teen men along the line of the Pennsyl-
wanna Railroad and sent them to the
County Jail for sixty days as tramps ana
Migrants. Among them was John Dor
gan. Dorgan was neither a tramp nor a
vagrant. Dorgan has only been in this
country since May 2. On the day ne
was gathered in by the police he was
walking from Jersey City, where was lily
ing with friends, to Kearny to pay a visit
to a fellow countryman he had not seen
for some years. Chief Turnbull started
out in a special car to gather in a gang
of tramps that were camping out on the
Passaic. He got the tramps and on the
way back stopped and nabbed every man
he found along the line of the railroad.
Dorgan was caught and arraigned with
the rest of Turnbulls victims. He was
given no chance to explain himself, out
was hustled off to Jail with the rest.
When his friends in Jersey City found out
where he was they appealed to Judge
Hudspeth. His Honor investigated ana
found that an injustice had been gone

the Court of Special Sessions and after
questioning him discharged him. He SAD
in doing so;-
II cannot condemn too severely this
custom of sending tramps to the County
Jail to be fed and cared for when We
have a penitentiary where they can
work"
Criticizing the commitment he said
This commitment is defective. It states
that these men acted in a disorderay man
ner in the Township of Kearny and have
been committed as tramps and vagranIs'
under the Disorderly Person act OF 1870,
by Thomas Turnbull, Special Police JUS
tice. They are sentenced to pay a hne
of SO apiece, in default of which they,
are to be confined to the County Jan
for sixty days. The commitment is de-
~fective, as under the act they should nave
been sent to the Workhouse; and under
the tramp act they should have peen
put there at hard labor. Under the act OF
1889. the Police Justices may use DIS,
cretion in sending them either to the Jail
or to the Penitentiary. These men were
not committed under that act, how.
ever. Even where the Justices may use
discretion they should do so with a
sense of the fitness of things. 1t is entire
" inconsistent with the purposes OF le-
gislation regarding tramps and Migrants
to commit them to the County Jail to
be kept there without work when the
proper place for them is the. workhouse.

HOME WEDDING THE BEST.
There Is Less Formally, More Suit
Ing and Prettier Effects.

The "quiet'' church wedding, with
only half a dozen pews filled with gloomy
visaged friends, the h~alf-l:ghted audi
torium n the dismal. ghastly long
windows and rows of black, lonesome
seats. savors strongly of things shlyery
and drear. The swell church wedding,
with the crowd of casual a~cquaintances
and mere curiosity seekers loses all IT'S
solemnity, and assumes a jovial, frlvo-
lous circus air that III becomes me mar,
in a 1utter of excitement over the hang
of their skirts and the set" OF their
bodies; the groom fears that ms craHat
his front hair has Tapped down Napo-
leon fashion.
The bride is in a fever of dread lest
bouquet or stammer when she repeats
the responses; the crowd is stretching
its many necks and buffeting hats and
bonnets in it's wild and frantic efforts
to- see whether or not the brides gown
is trimmed with real lace and to catch
a passing glimpse of the d.amond hair
ornament. The papa OF ne pride SITS $
the thought that he had not only been
robbed of a daughter but that on the
first of the following month he is to
of bills from modistes, caterers, florists.
m.lliners-and only the bride herself
knows who else.
For ordinary. every day folk the little
home wedding is the thing. There the
rigid bars of formality are let down
shoulders n smile gleefully as he re
oranges his arrows IN preparation for
his next set of victims. Then the groom
can kiss his bride and whisper some silly
sentence that will never after sound
quite so sweet as it does then. The
mother can weep a little as she hugs
them, and there can be a genera kiss
ing bee all around.
After h comes the cutting of the
wedding cake and the showers of rice
and old slippers as the bride and bride
groom drive hurriedly away.-HPh.la-
