GoTHAM's INFAMOUS CAFES.
A Glance at the Interior OF n NotO-
rious One That Was Raided
by the Police.

Through one of the most infamous
Of the cafes a Leslle's Weekly writer
went recently, just after the police had
raided it with axes. Tho entire ground
floor was a drinking he'll Of tawdry ele-
gance. On the second floor was a gam
bling room reached by devious pas
sages through heavily barred gates.
The upper floors were loding-rooms Of
almost unimaginable dinginess and
squalor Throughout the entire estab-
lishment was q series of signal bells,
peep holes, falling bars and special
locks, and ready exit was given by 10
less than four specially constructed and
supposedly secret passages. The
rickety old tenement had been made
into verltable labyrinth Of pseudo
mysterious precautions against the po-
lice When the police did come the
warning was given by man stationed
in the street for that purpose-ealled
appropriately enough a lighthouse
1.-The signal bells changed, the bars fell,
the special locks slid into place, eyes
blinled at the peep holes and at the last
moment the aroused inmates scurried
through the secret passages into the
arms of the officers who were waiting
for them there. That cafe went out OF
existence, but others are still doing a
cautious business.

STATE HOUSE HAPPENINGS.
One Of Mayor Qulncy's Pet Measures
Gets Black Eye.

Boston, May 5.-This was Boston day
in the house and like wise Quincy day
for the, principal matters discussed
were Boston matters and in the course
of the. debates Mayor Quincy came in
for some hard knocks. The insurgents
had the best of it today and one of
the mayors pet schemes, the board of
estimate and apportionment, was
knocked down. the house voting for the
repeal of the act establishing it.
The bill to forbid the employment of
women and minors in places where IL
ouors are sold or handled was amended
to exempt drug stores and then pass
ed to be engrossed.
The bill of Mr.. Reed of Taunton to
compel railroad companies to equip
their cars with platform gates was en-
crossed. The only railroad affected is
the Fitchburg.
Mr.. Reeds bill to compel railroad
companies to carry the bicycles Of pas
sengers caused a lively debate. Mr..
Tolman of Pittsfield wanted to know
why, if bicycles were allowed as bag
gage because people rode upon them,
elephants should not be carried as bag
gage because circus people rode upon
them. Mr.. Salter of Lynn in defend
ing the bill alluded to Mr.. Tolman as
the "jumpingjack from Pittsfeld, but
at the request of Speaker Bates quick
ly withdrew the remark.

HIGH SCHOOL DRAMATICS
Successful Drama Present
ed by the Britomart
Society.

To estimate the number of those pre-
sent at the entertainment and dance
given by the Britomart society of the
high school in Horticultural hall last
night, it would be necessary to copy
the high school catalogue in full and
then add 10 per cent of the names in
the city directory. There was scarce
ly seat left vacant either on the floor
or in the gallery, and to judge by the
rounds Of applause which greeted
the young actresses, every one of the
large crowd enjoyed the play to the
uttermost.
The piece presented by the amateurs
of this society was a three-act drama
entitled "ReBeccas Triumph" a play
rather heavy for amateurs but car
ried out last night almost to perfec-
ton.
The cast was as follows: Mrs. Boke-
man "a wealthy LADY,, Gertrude Ger
rity; Mrs. Delaine "a widow, Kathryn
Sheridan; Dora Gaines, Sadie Donaher;
Jennie Woodman, Gertrude Quinn;
Nellie Dunbar, Hannah Desautelle;
Grace Greenwood. Gertrude Williams;
Sadie Morrell, Jessie Sproul; Alice
Leeds. Katherine Sullivan; Maria Gray
Mary McTiernan; Jessie Green, Ida
Pero; Rebecca "a foundling), Edith
Goodwin; Clarissa Goldman Ga spinstsr)
Amy Buck; Katie Conner Ian Irish
GRID, Katherine Kerrigan; Gyp "a col
ored girD, Gertrude McQuaid; Meg "a
vagrant), Nellie Churchill.
The play was melodrama, with a
strong element of comedy, and the more
| difficult parts were carried through
with all the ease and seeming expert
ence of professionals. 1t would be i'm
possible to describe each incident in the
three acts which lead up to the final
recognition of the relationship between
Mrs. Rokeman and the crazy Vaga-
bond, Meg, or to tell of how Rebecca
finally triumphed. The comedy parts
of Gyp, Clarissa Goldman and Katie
Conner were well done, the young per-
formers entering into the humor of
their roles with a zeal worthy of emu
lation. The night school girls, men,
bers of Rebecca's cooking school, were
as nearly perfect as mortals can be in
such characters. Miss Katheryn Sher-
idan was in charge of the entertainment
program as chairman of the society,
and Mrs. Walker acted as stage man.
ager. The ushers were Miss May
Power, Miss Mary Kane, Miss Maude
Rich. Miss Amy Williams, Miss Mar
garet Kennedy, Miss Grace Casey and
Miss Albina Anderson.
Following the play, came a vocal solo
by j. Fred Donnelly, and a selection
by the Ashmore club. And then came
the dance.
The music was furnished by the
Light Infantry orchestra, and there
were Is numbers on the dance card.
The floor directors were Ben Davis
and Arthur Coburn, and the following
served as patronesses, the first three
being teachers in the high school and
the others mothers of three of the girls
taking part in the entertainment-NIis
Elizabeth Woodman, Miss Alice G..
Pierce and Miss Helena NJ. Corey, Mrs.
Elizabeth Sheridan, Mrs. Jennie Sproul
and Mrs. Goodwin. Dancing was
kept up till 1 o'clock, and then every
body went home to wish for the next
one to take place right away.

COST OF BRAINS.
This Disputed Point
Causes a Sensation
al Assault.
HIGHT IN AN OFFICE.
George E. Webb and 7. j.
McAuliffe Come to
Blows.

Timothy ]. McAuliffe, the architect
ural carver and sculptor, secured a
warrant yesterday for the arrest of
George E. Webb on a charge of assault
and battery.
The fracas occurred in Webb's Office
at A Front street. at II o'clock, yester-
day forenoon, and was the outcome of
a discussion over bill which McAu-
life presented for work done on the
new court house and the Dwight Fos-
ter block on Waldo street.
Mr.. McAuliffe did the carving on the
buildings and presented a bill of Sis
for both jobs. Mr.. Webb objected to
the item in the bill for work on the
Dwight Foster block, and an argument
ensued. Mr.. Webb claimed that the
amount charged was exorbitant, and in
the heat of the argument, said he could
get all the brains to do the work re-
quired for $40 a week.
Mr.. McAuliffe assured Mr.. Webb that
the work of his brains could not be
bought for that sum, and the argu-
ments on both sides waxed warm.
Mr.. Webb. becoming very wrothy, in
vited Mr.. McAuliffe to leave the office,
and as the latter was about to go, Mr..
Webb, it is alleged, hit him behind the
ear and accelerated his departure with
shove. Mr. McAuliffe says he Of
fered no defense, but called upon the
clerks to witness the assault, and,
leaving the office, went Immediately to
the clerk of courts, Maj. e. T. Ray
mond, and swore out warrant for Mr..
Webb's arrest.
The warrant was placed in the hands
of Sergt. George H. Hill, who served a
summons on Mr.. Webb at his office la
ter in the day, to appear before Judge
Utley Monday morning.
1t is said that Mr. Webb, when his
anger had cooled, endeavored to affect
an amicable settlement with Mr.. Nc
Auliffe through the latter's attorney
Several conferences were held yes
terday both in Mr.. Webb's office and
at Mr.. McAuliffe's attorneys office,
which came to naught.
Mr.. Webb desires to keep the matter
out Of the police court, but unless the
Sabbath brings about a settlement, it
is more than likely that the whole af-
fair will be aired in the central district
court on Monday morning.

NOT THE WIDOW.
Mrs. S. F. Harring-
toms Claim Denied
blythe Courts.
SHE WAS DIVORCED
Is Therefore Refused Share
in 5000, Estate of
Former Husband.

Mrs Sarah F. Harrington of this
city Is not the widow of the late
Charles A. Harrington of Acton, and
thus il written the closing chapter in
the sensational proceedings to secure
possession Of the 100000 estate left by
Mr.. harrington. The probate court of
MidIesex county has just decided that
Mrs. Harrington of Worcester is not
the widow, and therefore has no in
terest in the estate.
The case has abounded in sensational
incidents, and eminent legal talent has
been engaged in the trial of the case.
The deceased, whose property figures in
the. proceedings, was a wealthy resi-
dent of Acton, and was well known
throughout the state, so that the case
has been watched with close scrutiny
ity.
The proceedings first arose from the
filing by Mrs. Sarah F. Harrington of
a waiver of the will of Charles A. Har-
rington, with a petition for dover in
the estate. The executors of the will,
Charles L. Nelson and Charles D.
SlQne, Inen nled In the probate court
a bill in equity against Mrs. Harring
ton, with the prayer that she be or
dered to show cause by which she
claimed a dower's interest in the es-
tate, and that her petition for such
right be dismissed. A decree was
sought that the court declare that she
is not the widow of Mr.. Harrington.
Much evidence was submitted at the
hearings, and considerable time occu-
pied in the final arguments to the
court. After lengthy consideration the
court has granted the prayers of the
executors, that Mrs. Harrington of
Worcester has no claim to the es-
tate.
Mr. Harrington was married to Mrs.
Sarah F. Harrington, 80 years ago, and
after not extended marital existence,
he secured a divorce under the laws of
Wisconsin, the date of the separation
being 1859. Since that time Mr., Har-
rington has remarked, and is sur
vived by widow residing in Acton,
who now enjoys the estate left by her
husband Mrs. Sarah F. Harrington Of
this city claimed that she was the
widow and that no divorce had been
secured by Mr.. Harrington. Frank P
Goulding and Scott & Avery of Boston
appeared for the executors, and A
Bixby for Mrs, Sarah F. Harring-
ton.

of the local concern. Under his direc-
ton the Worcester branch had made its
place in public favor, and has won
great strength in business circles.
