London Prisons.

Preparations are proceeding for the
demolition of old Newgate prison in Lon
don, which a new generation will know
only from history, romance and pictures.
Very interesting it is to note the number
of iails situated almost within stones
throw of the city which have disappeared
within the memory Of living people. Ehe
old debtors prison of the Fleet is now
the headquarters of the Congregational
Union: the Kings Bench, at Southwark
is a huge block of model dwellings; the
Marshalsea, not far off, is thing Of the
past. and Horsemongerlane jail, in New
ington Causeway, where Leigh Hunt did
his s.time,' was turned into pleasure
ground some years ago. On the north
side Of the city. Coldbafh Fields is now
the headquarters of the parcels post, and
Clerkenwell prison, wher the Fenian ex-
plosion took place, is large and flour
ishing school The jail which will large
" form the substitute for Newgate IS the
old military prison at Brixton, on which
extensive alterations are now being made,

The Invensor of the Polka. zs

1t is not generally known that the poll
ka was invented by Bohemian girl
named Hanickza Selezka. She was a
blooming peasant maiden, and the best
dancer in the village of Costello, on the
river Elbe. and used to perform solo
dances of her own invention at the var
ious village festivities. It was in the
year 1880, as farm house, that the as
se1nbled guests asked her to dance solo,
and she said, Il will show you something
quite new,'' and to the music of her own
singing She danced a polka step, though
with more elabora ton than it is now per-
formed. The dance found favor at
once, and became so popular that it later
became a national dance. Hanickza
named it Pulku, as she said it was dane
ed in short steps; from Pulka came POI
ku. and finally Polka; the dance three
years later became popular in Prague,
and in 1889 it was already danced at
Vienna balls, and one year later became
the most popular dance in Paris,

FAILED TRYING TO Be GOOD.
Miss McGarry Did Well Enough
Until She Met Aer Lady Friend.

Patrolman Oxley saw tall, well de-
veloped woman pacing tragieally along
the Scranton deck at 2.2o o'clock this
morning. She was tearing her hair,
weeping hysterically and was crying
aloud that she would end it all. The
officer took her to the Gregory street
station house where she was recognized
as Mamie McGarry, well known wom-
an about town, who has been leading a
quiet, uneventful life so far as the police
knew for the past twelve months, She
was under the influence of liquor.
The woman was arraigned before
Police Justice Hoos this morning in the
First Criminal Court. She said that she
worked at Lorillards and was trying to
lead a respectable life. She met lady
friend" last night, she said, and gave
her dollar to pay for some drinks. The
friend disappeared with the change, she
said, and she concluded to kill herself.
Judge Hoos discharged her and Detec-
tive Doyle gave her twenty cents with
which to buy some breakfast.

Ninth Street
Meadows


A petition signed by forty or fifty
citizens and taxpayers asking for the
construction of relief sewer in the
meadow section at the foot of the hill
and running from Eighth to Thirteenth
streets, parallel with Division street,
was received and read. 1t was referred
to the committee of the whole.
The sewer asked to be constructed is
the one ''The News" called attention to
a few evenings ago and which the Street

Its purpose is to alleviate the disease

NOTHING ACCOMPLISHED

Notwithstanding the statement OF the
Beef Trust that the prices of meat have
been reduced, the butchers of this town
paid more money today than at any
other time that the oldest of them can
remember.
One of the most prominent butchers
in Jersey City, whose name is withheld
at his request because Of the danger that
would befall him. said
Il paid the highest price for prime
beef today that / have ever paid in my
life. Beef that / bought fifteen years
ago for three cents per pound, was
forced to pay fftene cents for today.
Live beef in Chicago brought $50
per hundredweight yesterday, which is
the high point. Ribs and loins are
worth from S15 to SIT per hundred
pounds and that if before they are
dressed, too.
sThe perest grades of beef obtainahle.
that is, such as is used By the canned
goods people, is now worth to Z cents
per pound, where it was formerly sold
at 31a to 4 cents per pound.
"The reason that the farm hands Oh
New Jersey, Pennsylvania and New
York are of such small value today is
simply that the farmers can not afford to
raise cattle, and no farm can be fertile
if it has not large supply of stock upon
it. The trust has forced all of the small
killers out of the business and the East
ern farmer has no market for his goods.
/ at one time employed seventy-two men
killing stock for me, and stuck at it
until / almost went broke and then
gave it up.
There were 6fty-two small killers in
this city few years ago, and to-day
there are only about five. also have
pretty authoritative information about
fye.'
At the conslusion of the above inter-
view he stated: Il have positive infor-
nation that next week the prices will be
still further advanced.
THE trust now furnishes the Pennsyl
vania Railroad with its meat direct, and
in former years this was all done by
local butchers.
"There are a few States here in the
East which are making the West enjoy
an undeserved prosperity and making it
to pay cash for their meats and if they
have not got the money they have to
borrow it. THE money is deposited in
the banks every day and is drawn against
Immediately and not one penny of it
spent in the East.
"The margin Of profit is so small to-
the butcher that he can not do much to
advance the prosperity Of his home city,
and can not employ anywheres near the
number of men which formerly was
DONE
My payroll ten years ago averaged
from eight hundred to nine hundred
week, and now it don't go much over
hundred"

SIX THOUSAND AFFECTED
Much Excitement Among Men
Who Talk Wild Languages
But No Violence Yet.

Anticipating a spread of the troubles
over the silk dyers helpers strike in
Paterson to this vicinity, all the silk
mills in Hudson county, with two excep-
fiohs, closed down until further order
yesterday evening. and these two closed
this morning. Over six thousand oper-
atires and other employed in the silk
mills Of the county are thus thrown out
Of employment.
The owners and mana gers held a con-
ference by telephone at the first inkling
of the rioting at Paterson and agreed to
take no chances of having their property
destroyed and rioting about their mills
by sympathizers of the striking silk
dyers of Paterson marching upon their
mills and forcing their employees to quit
work Most of the mills were short of
material caused by the long Paterson
strike and were glad of the opportunity
Of closing down. Orders to that effect
were posted in the mills shortly before
the six o'clock whistles blew
AMONG THE OPERATIVES.
Many of the union operators had been
waiting the outcome of a meeting of
delegates at Heflichs Hall in West Ho-
boken last night on the question of strik-
ing ympathy with the Paterson silk
dyers and jumped to the conclusion that
the mill proprietors had anticipated an
affirmative decision of the delegates and
looked upon the order of closing down as
a preliminary victory of the proposed
strikers. Others had been wishing that
sympathetic strike would be ayerte,l
and left for their homes with downcast
faces.
Three Of the mills are located in the
northern section of Jersey City near the
West Hoboken line--the Poidebard, at
Summit avenue and Hagne street: the
Phalanx, at the Boulevard and Irving
street. and the Stone Mills in Paterson
avenue. Over thousand operatives and
helpers are usually employed at the
Poieebard Mills Iii each of the two
other Jersey City mills there are usually

The opening up Of the combing mills
this morning came near causing serious
trouble. Tho hundreds of operators of
the other mills who, living in the yicin-
ity. looked upon the general closing
down as part Of victory in the strike
which they supposed had been ordered
BY the delegates at their meeting the
night before, rushed from their homes
when the combing mills whistle blew

the eombing operatives not to go TO work.
