NEGRO PUNCHES A SKIPPER.
Lively Time on the Joy Line Boat with
CoIored Rowdy in Gorgeous Array.


Colored Rowdy in Gorgeous Array.
negro in gorgeous array, and CORE
spondingly important demeanor, boarded
the Joy Line steamer Edgemont at Provi-
dence on Thursday night just before she
started for this city. Those on board
learned afterward that he was the valet OF
Providence business man.
Nobody paid much attention to the negro,
who had stat Groom to himself, until dinner
time. Then he walked into the dining
room and sat down at q table beside white
woman. According to the steamship
officers, this table Is reserved for women
travelling alone. When the negro sat down
at that table the headwaiter asked him to
move to another. He refused.
Capt. Oldwelier ordered the negro either
to change his seat or get out. Several pas
seneers became scared and left their tables.
The negro finally got up and walked back
| into the after cabin, where woman was
| playing the piano and more were standing
near listening to the music. The negro
| began to swear loudly at the captain. Sew:
| eral OF the women became frightened and
| left the saloon.
The mate and two men at last got the
! fellow outside. There the negro made
| a rush at the captain and struck him on
the head causing big lump; Several OF
| the crew jumped on him and lugged him
| down into the hold.
| After being locked up for several hours
| the negro promised to be good and was
| released. When the ship arrived at her pier
| yesterday morning he was ordered to leave
| the ship quick. He went to the steamship
| Office later and tried to say that he had been
! robbed Of $45 on board the boat. A police
man arrested him then for disorderly CON
| duct on the boat. but in the Essex Market
| police court he was discharged.
Magistrate Whitman decided that the
| incident had not taken place within the
| Jurisdiction Of the New York courts and
| dismissed the complaint.

BOTR SIDES TALK PEACE.
Mere Signs Of an Approa ching End 70 tho
Building Trades War.

Evidence OF the growing restiveness OF
the working men made idle by the strikes
and lockout In the building trades was
furnished by q meeting Of Electrical Work.
err Union No. 8 in Brevoort Hall, which
began on Thursday night and ended early
yesterday morning.
The unions executive committee asked
for the resignation Of George Whtford
and John Wichmann. their representatives
in the Building Trades Alliance, and a stormy
scene followed.
Whitford and Wlchmann refused to re-
sign and finally the union decided to give
them a vacation for few weeks in order
that It might have a chance to settle the
trouble. The two delegates started their
enforced vacation yesterday by keeping
around the buildings where strikes are In
progress.
A meeting OF the new union OF electrical
workers formed under the arbitration agree
ment was also held on the same night.
-Four hundred were enrolled and there were
100 more applicants.
Lewis Harding, chairman Of the press
committee OF the employers association,
was asked last evening If the association
knew officially OF the plan Of President
Mason OF the alliance to settle the trouble
by bringing about conferences between
committees Of the individual unions, and
organizations Of employers In their respeo-
live trades. He said he had no official
knowledge Of the matter.
Il want 1t to be understood he added,
that do not take the stand that we shall
never recognize the Building Trades AL
lance. We recognize that the unions have
a right to form o central body II they choose.
but as the alliance has ridden roughshod
through the arbitration agreement and
caused the present trouble, we cannot
re Sess Souble any way settlement ases
place.
we have no objection to meet individual
unions, but have no other recourse than
0s1f present one OF filling the strikers places
as ND peace plan has been suggested BY the
unions to the employers association"

former wife. now married to another man.
Mr.. Hummel, In announcing his belief
that the new law ia unconstitutional in all
its features, made this statement:
Depriving a woman OF her alimony for re-
marrying after she has received Judgment
against a husband who had wronged her
would be an Incentive to her to 90 wrong
1t would place a premium on a future life
Of unchastity, instead OF encouraging the
solemnity OF another lawful marriage, Women
losing their comfortable alimony after mar
rage would be tempted either to conceal
their second marriage. like the school
teachers. who were once confronted with
the loss OF their salary II they were caught
getting married. or they would be tempted
70 lead single lives Should they choose either
horn OF the dilemma 1t would be a distinct
loss to the community.

When Cop Got Him and Won Reward.
Freddie Avery had been a telegraph
messenger boy nearly ten years when
he married a girl in Flatbush two years
ago and went to live at 200 Fortieth street,
Brooklyn. Freddie was then 10 years old,
and it wounded his pride to see the neigh
bors smile when they saw him start out
in the morning in his uniform after kissing
his wife good-by. He realized that he
was too big for messenger boy.
About four months ago he found a place
as elevator operator in an apartment house,
but did not keep 1t long. Then things began
to look very blue for him.
Il can do nothing but run errands, ne
said. What the stores will pay fellow
like me won't 60 far toward keeping
man and wife"
At that unlucky moment he met youth
who told him that there was much money
to be made soliciting subscriptions for
imaginary messenger boys who were dead
or terribly injured.

that he had collected money from nearly

William street, who had been moved to
tears by Freddie's story, had expressed
a desire to contribute 81 to the fund Tor
Mrs Herring and had given Freddie five
dollar bill to change. He was making
of with the money when the policeman
arrested him. -,
In the Tombs police court Freddie
pleaded guilty and was held under $500
bail for trial. He confessed that he some
times made as high as $40 a day. Among
the compliments against him were Charles

GYPSIES NOT ADMITTED.
So Uncle Sam Is Likely to Send Back q
Picturesque Band With Measles.

picturesque banu WIN MeasieB.
A band OF ECO gypsies Of both sexes and
all ages landed at Ellis Island yesterday and
will be detained there until Uncle Sam
decides whether they can come into this
country. They were brought here on the
Csrpathia.
The gypsies say they are going to winni-
peg to take up land there, but under the
immigration laws gypsies are rated as
beggars, no matter how much money they
have. and can't come In. IL II is decided
by the board that they are real gypsies,
they will probably have to 60 back.
The gypsies are under the chaperonage OF
Jose Michel, who says he is naturalized
American, and horse dealer. The women
in the band wear clothes in which are all the
colors OF the rainbow. Some OF them had
Hungarian coins as ornaments for their
gowns.
They made a picturesque group at Ellis
Island chattering in strange Tongues. Most
on the island found twenty-five cases Of
measles among the children.
