MR.. DIx0N'S UN-
INVITED GUEST.
Burly, Negro shoves the
Servant Aside and
Mounts to the
Parlor.
POLICE HAD TO EJECT HIM
Thought at First to Be Insane
ae Is Found to Be a
Victim Of Drink.

A burly negro called at the basement
door of the home of Counsellor Warren
Dixon about eight O'Clock last night and
asked a servant girl for something to
eat. AS soon as the door was opened he
pushed the servant girl aside, walked up
stairs and took a seat in the parlor.
Mr.. Dixon saw the man enter his par
lor, and he summoned Policeman Curtis.
The man acted strangely, and seemed to
be unable to make himself understood
He was taken to the Gregory street stat
ion and booked as William Robinson,
thirty-one years old, of No. 1872 River
street, Newark. 1t was ascertained
through the Newark police that no per-
son answering Robinsens description ,liv-
ed at the address given.
Thinking that the man might be insane
Captain Cody sent for DIR. Rector, who
examined him and fourd that his condit-
ion was due to drink.
When arraigned in the First Criminal
Court this morning he either could not
or would not give an account of himself.
He was held for further examination.

POVERTY CLUB BALL.

The Fifth Annual ball of the Poverty
Club, of the Hudson City section, will be
held at Central Hall, No. 352 Central
avenue, on Monday evening, January IS.
Music will be furnished by Prof. Tenn
ler's Orchestra. The Poverty Club is
one of the most deservedly popular So
ciety organizations in the city, and as all
the previous social affairs given under its
auspices have been of brilliant charac-
ter, it is safe to wager that every effort
viii be made to make the fifth annual
ball perfect success. 1t bids fair to
eclipse and sociay effort yet put forward
by the members of the club.
