The End OF the VOYAGE.

"Old Captain Dan" sat on the piazza
OF his little cottage, gazing wistfully
over the moonlit harbor. Never again
he thought, should he see the light on
White Head sweep out to sea like a
golden finger; never again listen TO the
surf come crashing In on the outer bar
for In the morning he was going far
away inland-to the poorhouse.
The home he had built ia his youth,
where Mary and he had lived and loved
so many happy years, was his no long
err. Jack, the sailor son OF whom he
had been proud, was sleeping some
where beneath the long Atlantic sur
ges until the sea gives up its dead"
and Mary had gone TO the quiet hill
side-he could almost see the cross
that marked her grave cleaning in the
moonlight.
1t was hard after forty years OF bat
tie with storm and tempest, to be left
alone with no one to cpre; like broken
and useless old hulk, drifting on a lee
shore-he longed for jacks strong arm
to lean, upon, he had only such little
further to go.
Afeeling OF resentment welled up in
the Captains heart. Many time he
had stretched forth he ping hand 10
others; why was none there To help
him i'm his extremity? Why had Jack
been taken, and his father left 10 come
to shame in his Old age-he had always
feared God and done evil TO no man
The old nun bowed his head on his
shaking hands, a sharp pain darling
through his temples; strange, he
thought, that he should always have
that curious ache in his brain every
time he tried to think hard and clear.

some way would come To him tn save
his honor. Somehow he never thought
OF the 'care and comfort OF the poor.
house that his well meaning mel ghho' {
talked Of so gihy; only the shame oI
it.
The pain seemed worse than ever TO
night, aud his thoughts grew more and
more vague aud bewildercd. Where
was Mary? Why didn't she come and
lay her cool fingers on his aching head
as she used to do? Hark who WAS III al
calling him? Surely it was Jack voice
yet some one had told him that Jack
was dead.
Captain Dan staggered to his feet
pressing his head betw mis- icy palm,
the sea and sky rce,ing around hin
like gigantic kaleidoscope; involun
tarily he stretched forth HE trem biine
hand heavenward, and to his lips came
the agonized appeal OF the Man o

A Telling Retort

Fault was found, says the Christian
Endeavor World, with the way in
which the shorthand writers reported
the speeches In a legislative body.
They retallated by giving the speech
OF one OF the members exactly as he
made II, with the following result:
"The reporters-ought not to-the re-
porters ought not to be the ones to
judge of what Is important-not to say
what should be left out-but-the men,
Der can only judge OF what is impor-
tant. AS las my speeches-as the re-
ports-as what | say Is reported some
times, no one-nobody Van understand
from the reports-what II is-what l
mean. So-lt strikes melt has struck
me certain understandings that appear
of importance are sometimes left out
omitted. The reporters-the papers
points are reported mean-to make
a brief statement : what the paper
thinks of interests reported"

ITALIANS RIOT.
West New York Laborers
Attack Their Foreman
Because One of Them
Is Discharged.

At the docks near the old ferry in
West New York are numerous gangs of
Italians loading paving blocks on scows
and vessels. This morning in one of the
scows the boards upon which the wheel
barrows are run became loosened from
its fastenings.
A foreman who is known as Mike"
told one of the laborers to fasten it. The
laborer refused. saying it was not his
business to do that kind of work.
The foreman asked for his number
and told him he was discharged. The
Italian refused to give his number and
said he wanted to work mike" pulled
out an old revolver, and the gang, think
ing he was going to shoot, went at him.
with paving blocks in their hands. One
of the men gra bbed the shooting-iron
but, upon discovering that was useless
informed his companions of he fac. They
Immediately dropped the blocks, but re-
fused to go back to work unless the
man discharged was reinstated. This the
foreman refused to do.
The contractors were sent for and the
foreman was then discharged. A new
foreman was placed in charge. About
half of the Italians resumed work, but
the others are still ON strike, askine that
their fellow laborer be placed back at
work.

PIPE Line War ON
City Orders Police to Pre-
vent Freeholders From In
terfering With Water
Company.

County Council John Griffin has been
requested to secure an injunction to re-
strain the men in the employ of the con-
tractor for the Jersey City Water Supply
Company from laying pipe line along
the County Road, until permission is
first secured from the Board of Free
holders
The contractor claims that he can do
as he pleases regardless of the FREEHOLD
ers, and he is being supported in his con-
tention by Mayor Pagan and CORPORATION
Counsel George L. Record, representing
the city.
The first clash between the city and
the other occurred yesterday. The police
were called out by the Mayor and they
rushed to the assistance of the contrac-
tor to prevent the county officials from
interfering with his operations.
Freebooter Finke went to the scene in
the afternoon and demanded the foreman
of the gang of pipe layers to stop their
work in accordance with the resolution
adopted by the Board of Freeholders on
Monday afternoon.
The man in charge of the operations
asked him to call up the office of the
contra sor in New York and Mr. Finke
did so.
ORDERED TO QUIT.
He informed the contractor that the
work could not continue without the
necessary permit from the county or he
would be under the painful necessity of
causing the arrest of the foreman
The man at the other end of the phone
advised him not to do that, saying:
wait until | can come over, and then
you can have me arrested He didn't
put in an appearance.
Mr.. Finke rang off and called up Chief
Murphy at Police Headquarters, with
whom Freebooter Ellington had had a
talk. He then learned that the police
had been ordered by the Mayor, in ac-
cordance with an opinion from the Cor
poration Counsel, to protect the con-
tractor from being interfered with in
the work by the Freeholders.
POLICE SENT.
Anticipating trouble, Chief Murphy or
dered the Sixth Precinct to send wagon
load of cops to the County Road to
prevent trouble. There was no necessity
for their services.
Word was received by the Freeholders
this noon that the roadway had been
broken and unsettled to such an extent
that there was danger of great damage
heiag done to the old mains. 1t was
said that they were liable to part at the
joints by reason of their unsettled con-
ditions and that flood was imminent.

Nothing About the Case

August Wager, of No. Ga Newark
avenue, was in the First Criminal. Court
this morning for failing to pay $4 week
towards the support Of his wife. He was
ordered by the Court to do so some time
ago and did up to three weeks ago when
he fell behind.
Judge Hoos called him to the bar and
began to ask questions.
Wager interrupted the Judge and in
loud and excited tone said: You don't
know any ything about it. You don't know
what you are talking about"
"silence," sailed the Judge. 'Mr.
Doyle, put that man back in the pen"
A few moments later he had the man
brought out and warning him not to open
his mouth, discharged him, as he was
under. bonds to pay the money, the
bondsman in such case being the one
with whom to reckon. -A-...
