Tombs yesterday A large detachment
of prisoners were brought down to be
sent to Sing Sing. Most of them were
quite youthful criminals, and in the
waiting-rOom and vestibule were num-
her of their former friends or relatives
assembled to take last look at them
and give them parting word as the Of
6cers brought them out to the convey
ance that was to take them to the Hud-
son River Railroad.
Among these onlookers were several
women, sad, careworn and poorly clad.
They had sons or husbands among the
prisoners. One woman dressed in a
Thin alpaca dress with a threadbare
shawl pulled round her shoulders was
conspicuous by her manner. She was
evidently a hard working woman. The
bones of her bare wrist showed the
strain of long-contif&ed labor. The
lines in a face that must at one time
have been comedy were the lines that
are made by want, and pain. and self
denial.

The Secret of Popularity.

An Austin man, who was candi-
date for a certain political office. was
badly beaten at the polls by one whom
We will designate as Brown. The next
day the defeated candidate strolled
into a saloon where he owed a consid-
cradle bill, and, with an air of dejec-
ton, called for teddy After drink
ing it he remarked to the bar keeper:
Don't you feel sorry that | was de.
feated yesterday:
Not blamed bit. replied the viva
cious saloon keeper.
But. don't you see. if | had been
elected | could have paid you my bar
bill, but now you will have to wait on
me SPELL
Yes, that's all right enough said
the saloon keeper, 'butif you had been
elected Brown would have been defeat

bar bill as yours
Great Heavens. Can this be true
Alas, too late have discovered the
secret Of Browns popularity. He
probably owes all the saloons and
everybody in town, and they were all
anxious to get their pay. Give me
another toddy. I'll try and make up
for lost time, and when the next cleo
ton comes off I'll be neck and neck
with him, if not little ahead.
