QUEENS COUNTY AUTHORITIES AWAKENING TO
SENSE OF TIE GROWING EVIL.
There was very animated discussion OF tho tramp
question in the Queens County Board Of Supervisors
on Thursday, induced By The somewhat startling re.
port Of Superintendent OF tho Poor Pearsa that he
had during current month, relieved this class OF
pubic "ocches" to the number Of 196 at the

in addition Ia what the tramps are able to beg from
private familics-women In many cases being fright

A fortnight later, Major Howard, look
ing wonderfully better In health and
strength, stood before the alter of q
quiet city church with d graceful little
figure by his side. And with no pomp
or ceremony, no breakfast, no speeches,
no wedding guests, with only good Mrs.
Murgatroyd for bridesmaid, the two true
lovers were madeonel And six months
afterwards, In the Court of Queens
Bench, the great assault case of Sly

when the lawyers on both sides had had
their say, the presiding Judge said,
Gentlemen of the jury, IL is not dis
puted that very violent assault was
committed on the plaintiff, and he ia
therefore entitled to your verdict. But
In assessing the damages, gentleman,
you VIII consider the general merits Of
the case, and give the plaintiff only such
compensation as you think he fairly de
serves" And the jury, In awarding
one farthing by way of damages, ex-
pressed their unanimous regret that
there wasn'ta smaller coin.
