VIRGINlA'S jim CROW Law.
Steam, boat Companies Fear Expense
and TrnuI,Is. From Il


! RICHMOND. Va Feb. 18-The Jim
Crow law passed by the Legislature a
few days ago which applies to steamboats,
and other vessels plying in the wsers Of
| Virginia, is regarded with more than
usual interest by owners of such craft.
Many enquiries have come here from YES
| sci owners concerning thfS act II amends
the former law which did not make its
provisions mandatory upon those interest
| ed. Captains and other commanders of
these steamboats, were only required
where practicable. to set apart separate
apartments for colored people. The ef-
feet was that unless such persons chose
to find it practicable they were not hound.
under the provisions of the law, TO put it
/ into operation. The recent act passed by
the Legislature. and which is now attract
ing so much attention among the steam
boat men, requires that separate apart
ments shall be made for colored persons
in eating, sleeping. and in the saloons
The act uses as a reason why this sep
aratiOn CT the races shall be made the
prevention of unlawful disturbances on
such boats The apartments so set apart
for the negroes are TO be equal to those
of the white race and in terms prohibits
any discrimination from being made IN
this respect
Even those who were inclined 10 favor
the enactment Of the amended law
admit that it is difficult to see how it c2n
be successfully carried out
When enc of these steamers plying in
the waters of Virginia leaves Baltimore
or any other port net within the juris-
diction OF this State the separate apart
ment feature cannot be enforced. CoIored
passengers may, when they leave ports
where no similar statute exists, claim tne
right to enter any saloon or stateroom on
the vessel. The captain cannot, of course.
undertake 10 enforce the provisions of the
Virginia law until his boat shall have
reached waters IN this State. The same
condition exists in case Of boats leaving
ports Of this State for those beyond her
jurisdiction. The moment the steamer
passes the Virginia line colored passen-
gers, il is ciaimed, may properly demand
20 enter any public part of the vessel, in
sisting upon their privilege to do so IN
the absence of any law which the conman-
der of the boat can show to the contrary.
These difficulties were pointed out n

When husband loans the family
horse for funeral service he ought
first to consult his wife, and thereby
save a lot of trouble. AS an in
stance a case only yesterday has to be
cited. The husband had loaned the
family horse, and the wife followed
the animal until she found it at a
funeral. She got into the buggy and
started to move away, but the man
who had borrowed it wouldn't stand
for the loss of the beast
and when he found that expostu1a-
tions would avail nothing he jumped
out OF the rig and unhitched the
horse. The woman then got some
one to help her, and drew the buggy
home. This ended the episode.
