"JIM CROW" LAW COMEDIES
Funny Remarks of Colored Humor.
lists About the Restrictions
of Travel.

The "Jim Crow law that went into ef
been more amusing than serious. Whil'
some of the colored folks took exception
to the new law and denounced it vigor
ously, there were others who found they
had more room and comfort in the sec
tons of the coach or steamer allotted t
their use exclusively. Indeed, says thu
New York Times, on some of the big ex
cursion steamers of the Chesapeake bay
it is a common sight to see one or two
colored men enjoying roomy section Of
the deck, while beyond the Jim Crow
boundary the white excursionists are
packed together like the proverbial sar.
dimes. "Ah blebes de white FOXES

The laughter that followed impressed
the nearer that the new law was a Joke
Not long ago an old colored nanny
approached a Baltimore policeman after
midnight.

shadows, what kind OBJ cyah am dat

An amusing incident occurred on thu

rickety chair and was about to sit dow.
when the bootblack shouted:

Russian Court Balls.

The emperor and empress of Russia
usually give five court balls during the
season. The first embraces all who
have any title to recognition, and
counts about 5000 guests. The second
includes something under 1000, and the
number is reduced with each successive
ball, until the fifth is 400, or possibly
500.

per clicked across the deck, in a pair u
sabots, bearing the captains supper tc
the cabin. Two weeks ago the Abel
Dodge arrived from Bremen with an as
sorted cargo and Il emigrants. Her
cargo had been unloaded and 20 emf
grants had gone ashore, but Lena Os-
tertag stayed because she had to. Johan
Stein, late of the Fatherland, had writ
ten to his native dorf that being able to
support frau it would be well for Lena
Ostertag be sent out on the first ship SO
as to fill that vacancy in his home and
heart There being several female Os-
tertags of hubble age and the paternal
home and income being alike small, the
request was received with acclaim and
Lena was promptly exported on the Abel
Dodge.
Apparently the IS days consumed by
the ship in the passage had cooled the
ardor of Stein for he did not call for his
importation and the poor girl remained
on the ship source of anxiety to the Of
fcers. Lena was an enlarged repro
duction of one of those china statuettes
mantel-pieces, with yellow hair, pink
and white face and blue eyes entirely
devoid of expression. Withal she was
so modest and obliging that the officers
became fond of her and Capt. Eby de-
clared he would find Stein if he neld the
shin in the La Plata until he couldn't
see her for barnacles.
The next morning, after breakfast, the
skipper appeared on deck armed with
an immense umbrella and ordered boat
lowered.
I'm going ashore to find Stein he
said. confider tly, I'll have i'm aboard
by dinner time, / always was good at
6xin' things that go wrong and Ill fix
this"
The mate smiled skeptically.
Il guess we had better not wait din
ner for you" he said, sarcasticall,, I'VE
might all starve."
Il don't remember" retorted the
skipper, whether 1t was the prophet
jeremiah or George Washington who
said If you want thing done right
do it yourself but, whoever it was,
agree with him." and with this shot he
entered the boat and was pulled ashore.
It was just short Of high noon when q
sailor hailed the quarter deck with the
aeWs that the skipper was coming.

Consistency,

what have you been doing all day,

At that moment the family pet got up
from sofa pillow where he had been
sleeping behind the stove, stretched
from his long afternoon nap, whined at
the door to be let out, and after his re-
quest was granted stood in the yard for
an hour or two and parked at the moon
