A PREACHER POLICEMAN.
Down from the Pulpit to Work Out a Life
Mission on the Police Force.
Ner Yerk Sum-.

New York SUM-
Officer Samuel B. Wells, of the
Mulberry street police, was detailed
for several years to the street cleaning
department. His duty engaged him
throughout the day, and he slept at
night, as a rule, in the Mulberry street
police station. He reported at the
desk about 6 o'clock pm. on Monday,
and then went to the officers sitting
room. He chatted with his fellow
officers until about ppm, when he
retired to the officers dormito-y and
went to bed. At O'Clock yesterday
morning he hurriedly entered the
Office. He was partly dressed and
without shoes. He said that he was
i'll. The sergeant at the desk tele-
graphed for an ambulance and sent for
Drs. Fluhrer and Holmes. Theyg gave
Officer Wells some relief, and then he
was sent to st. Vincent's Hospital. He
died at 6 o'clock.
Officer Wells was formerly the pas
tor of a Methodist church in Connec-
ticut. About fifteen years ago he be-
came convinced, it is said, that he
owed it to his God to lay aside the
dignity and the comforts of his posi-
ton as the esteemed pastor of a we'll
TODD flock, and to go into the high
ways and byways to preach the gospel.
He established his wife and children
on a well-tilled and plentifully-stocked
farm near Norwalk, Conn, and re-
signed his ~pastorate. He came to the
city and joined the police force, be-
lieving that he could thus more easily
reach the criminal classes. He was
assigned to duty in the First ward.
His official position secured for him a
respectable hearing among the emf
grant runners, bounty agents and other
reckless persons living in the ward,
As he was eernest in his purpose, and
gifted as an exhorter, tits not improb-
able that he produced good effects
upon his hearers. In time he was
transferred to other precincts. He
found a new class to work upon
thieves of the many kinds that are
known to the police. He exhorted
them to a change of life whenever he
could make an opportunity. 1t is also
said of him hal he was instrumental
in retaining many young women who
had taken the first step on the down
ward path, and restoring them to their
homes.
Officer Wells was the treasurer for
his precinct of the Police Mutual Aid
Association. 1t is said that he was
worth about $4,000.

THEOLD MANS LITTLE GAME,
Which Successfully Pulled the Wool over
the Eyes Of the Old Lady.
Louisville News.l

Louisville News.l
There is in. one of our adjoining
counties a very nice old gentleman and
his wife and his boys and girls. The
old people are very much beloved by
every one, and their children are quite
popular, but the old people do not CO.
incide with each other, and their is
always a friendly war between them.
The old mans schemes are never
favorably entertained by the old lady,
and she does not confide in the old
man and his plans always, and is ever
lastingly at war with him about some
thing, and if he fails in any undertake
ing he is one to hear the sharp, shrill
voice, with a contemptuous toss of her
head, Il told We So" He has found
it impossible to win her confidence
again, and has settled down to grin and
bear its loss.
Some months ago he brought the
old woman into one of his schemes,
but it was a piece of strategy, and she
does not know yet that it afforded the
man a moments pleasure. One Of
their boys desired to acquaint the old
people with his matrimonial plans,
and he sounded the old man first.
The old man was delighted, indeed,
was just overjoyed. The daughter-in-
law elect was just his ideal Of lowell
ness, and he was carried away with the
| match.
After giving a fatherly talk to the
young man he thought of a difficulty,
He had almost forgotten this trouble ;
it was the old lady, and there could be
no big blowout on the premises. She
knew the old man was in favor of the
match, and desired it to take place.
So he counseled his boy thus: "Name
this matter to me in your mother
presence, and | will drive you off the
premises and raise hell with you
The plan worked well. The old man
denounced the young lady and refused
his consent. He cursed and raved for
quite a while. The old lady took the
boys part, and swore he must and
should get married, and she would
give the couple everything they could
demand. She prepared a large recep-
ton for them, and all passed of de-
lightfully. The old man was overjoyed;
but he does not let the old woman
know it, and still looks mad and sour
when she is around.

A TEXAS INCIDENT.
Stealing the Money Of a Poor Woman
from Hickman, Ky.

Dallas Texas Herald
A Mrs. Sarah Hardin, with five
young children, three little girls and
two boys, arrived on the south bound
passenger over the Central. She
stepped of on the platform with her
children to get something TO eat. On
looking for her purse she discovered
that it was gone. She was positive
that it was in her pocket when she
alighted from the train, and there was
no wey for her to have lost it save by
her pocket being picked. Realizing
her loss, the poor woman who was
alone and in very Strengthened circum
stances, was very much concerned,
and, after making a thorough search
for il and failing to find it, she burst
into tears, wringing her hands in her
excessive grief. The children, seeing
their mother weeping, wept in sympa-
thy. II was a scene that would have
melted the hardest heart, and johnnie
Shea, a bar-keeper in e saloon at that
point, approached the woman to ascer-
tain the cause Of her distress. She
stated 10 him that she had been robbed
after landing on the platform, Of eigh-
ty-seyen dollars, all the money she
had in the world. She and her chill
dren we're from Hickman, KY, where
her husband and Oldest son had died
during the late yellow fever epidemic,
leaving her and her children alone to
make their way as best they could
through a cold and heartless world.
Sellingher scant effects, which brought
her but meager means, she left 10 go
to her brothers in Hamilton county.

TEE TRAMP

IF the people of the South do not organ
liza against the tramp nuisance the organ
lied framps will take tho country. One
hundred desperate %vagabondS can capture
any county seat, commit any and all kinds
Of outrage, and terrorize a whole county.
We do not produce the tramp in this part
Of the country, and should not feed or
tolerate hem.-[Memphis Tenn Ledger.
The tramp nuisance has assumed large
proportions. One day last week, the vii
tage marshal had application for lodgings
from ten tramps. The village council in
structed the marshal to turn over all these
professional trampS to the tender mercies
Of the superintendent of the county poor
who will give them good steady work at
saving and chopping wood for the county
poor, breaking stone aud light work OF
that character.
The Memphis paperi is mistaken when
it states that no tramps are produced in
that region. A good share Of the peripa-
tetic ~vagabonds now strolling at the North
hail from the South as they so state them
selves. But that is neither here nor there.
Let the legislature at its forthcoming ses-
sion take prompt ard decisive steps to
Abate this tramp nuisance. Put these
Tagabonds at hard labor, and do not per-
nit them to sponge their livelihood any
longer at the expense Of honest, industri-
Gus and virtuOus people who are not
Mhamed to labor for a living.-LAllegan
lMichigan) journal.

section but what claimed to be from
the North. When this class goei

Chewing Gum for the Girls.

LIB - y AAAO VII ~
New York Sun.
Among the quiet little manufactures
Of the country is that of chewing gum.
Only one factory exists in this city,
and the few others are in New Eng
land, New York State, Ohio, Hi
nois, and Tennessee. The gum is sold
by druggists, grocers and ~confection-
ers in cities, and any country grocery
that hasn't it is considered incomplete.
Gum from spruce trees was exclusive
ly used until recently, when it found
a rival in gummastic, a white and at
tractiye article made from parafne.
which is sweetencd. The consump-
ton Of this chewing gum in the United
States is about thirty tons yearly; that
Of spruce gum somewhat less, and that
Of a gum made in Tennessee from
balsam tolu, and sold in the Southern
States, about twenty tons. Lately a
material has been used styled rubber

ported into the United States with a
view to melting it with india rubber
in order to produce a cheaper article
than the latter. Ii was found to be
~impliable, and therefore useless for
that purpose. 1t had long been chewed
by South and Central American In.
dians, and found useful in allayinq
thirst. Experiments were therefore
made here in purifying it for chewing
and with final success. 1t is tasteless
and has the merit of lasting longer
than other gums, which more quickly

SO great is its ductillity that a piece

NASHVILLE Banner: Annually,

printers and others fgr tax sale orders

has neTer. in the history Of Tenne-
see, s AK sale been made which stood
or could have stood the test Of an

wise a plan to remedy this exceedingly
expensive evil, which has actually no
redeeming trait in it? Why cannot
all laws for tax sales by collectors. etc
be abolished and the authorities be
put to their remedy Of enforcing the
lien for taxes as the mortgage fore
closes his mortgage? That would be

edy, as compared with the present cir

acts Of bulldozing and intimidation, in or
