The Way to Stop the Tramps.

The Democrat Of last week suggests
the most sensible plan to abate the
tramp nuisance that we have yet
heard. Commenting on the tramp
affection to Elkton. that paper says,
'If people of good sense and respect
ability could be made TO realize that
it is no charity to feed these villains
who perambulate the country and
steal all they can get their hands on
there would be some hope shat the
tramp nuisance would cease. But as
long as the tramps can feed on the IA
Of the land, and have good time at
the expense Of the foolish pbilanthro-
pists who feed them, they won't WORK.
The only way to stop them from
tramping is to stop their rations, and
teach them that those who won't work.
shan't eat. We repeat, that the only
way to stop the nuisance is to stop
feeding the tramps, Those who Ell.

are little better than they are, and
should be held up to the scorn and
contempt of the honest part of the
community"

drel who failed to accomplish his
purpose.
On the same night Mrs. Thos. Sim

pulp mill being afraid to remain in
the house alone on account of so
many robberies being committed in
town, went to spend the night with
one Of her neighbors. During her
absense some one went through the
house and stole all the mouey they
could find, consisting of few dollars,
and few pieces of jewellery. Ifthese
robberies continue much longer, some
thief will probably have hole made
in his body.

An Unknown Woman.

The marriage of the Dauphin Of
France, subsequently Louis XVI,
with Maria Antoinette was associated
with ominous incidents. The ceremony
was scarcely ended in the chapel of
Versailles, when the sky was darkened,
and torrents of rain drove the specta-
tors home, and spoiled the fireworks
and Examinations.
At Paris the fetes were brought to q
still more inauspicious close. They
ended amid the groans of the dying. and
the shrieks of frenzied people tramp
ling down weak men and women. The
crowd got jammed in public square !;
while there was conflict between
those who wished to come in and those
who struggled to get out, scaffolding,
hung with ornamental lamps caught
fire. The crowd became insane with
fear. Strong men thrust down feeble
women, and ran over their PROSTATE
bodies. The firemen called 10 the spot
by the alarm bells rushed their engines
over every obstacle. The square was
heaped with the dead and dying; one
hundred and thirty-two dead bodies
were collected from the place.
One death touched the Dauphiness,
and startled even Paris. 1t was that OF
a young woman who was to have been
married the next day. Conscious OF
her failing strength, she said to her low
er,-
leave me to my fate-save yourself"
"Neverl" he exclaimed. II will die
with you. But there is hope yet; get
upon my shoulders, and l will carry
you safely through the crowd"
He stopped turning his back towards
her. He felt light form mount to his
and woman's arm around
his neck. Tall, strong, and with will
energized by love, he forced his way
through the press. When he reached
an open space, he stopped, and the fair
burden glided to the ground. He turn
ed to embrace his betrothed, and saw
IN unknown woman.
She had overheard the lovers sug-
gestion, pushed the betrothed aside,
ind taken her place.

Female Clerks at Washington.

A Washington correspondent writes /:
''In many cases the employment of
women in the department amounts to
the giving of pension direct. The
majority of the women, however, do
their work well. But they cannot be
subjected to as close business discipline
as the men. Some of the ladies en-
ployed in the Treasury are very ner-
vous. If they were men they would be
discharged on account of the bother they
give. There is in the Treasury at pres
ent lady who was the daughter of a
very prominent former public official.
She was educated and brought up with
the most luxurious surroundings. Her
father failed few years before he died
and she was left penniless. Her friends
secured her place in the Treasury.
She is so nervous and delicate, however,
that she cannot be relied upon for any
regular work. The other day she
nearly went into q fit of Mysteries be-
cause she was obliged to sit in room
next to clerk who was in his shirt
sleeves. She went to one of the assist
ant secretaries and made such wild
complaint upon the subject that it was
with the greatest difficulty that he
could calm her down. At one time it
looked as if she was going to faint away
in the midst of her excited protest"

The Story of the Kind Person.

From the San Francisco Alta
Some months ago the employee of
certain firm in Costa RIGA embezzled a
large sum ofmoney, and skipped. The
description was forwarded to the firms
resident agent in this city. who instruct
ed the detectives to watch each mcom-
ing steamer from South America for
the fugitive. When the Grenada
steamed past the city front there was
detective on board, and this detective
had his eye on young and fashion,
ably dressed man with fiery red hair
and whiskers. Ho answered the de-
scription of the embezzler to dot.
The detective smiled and felt happy.
After months of waiting here was his
man at last, delivered into his hands,
safe and snug, without the possibility of
resistance or escape. His mouth water
ed as he gazed on the red haired man.
He could no longer resist his prey. He
tapped him on the shoulder and said
with a genial smile, "How are you, Mr..
Blank ?"
"I'm pretty we'll, thank you," re-
piled the stranger, "but that is not my
name"
"Of course not, of course not" said
the detective, knowingly: "we'll see
about it, however my friend. just
come along with me, and everything
will be explained, Z" and the officer smiled
all over and patted the red haired man
affectionately on the shoulder.
The stranger followed his captor in q
dazed sort of way into coupe, and they
drove to the agents house. "You have
been at large long time, my friend,
fun. How much of that money have
you spent, now?"
"What money? You must be crazy"
said the prisoner. "Of course, of
course" said the officer; Jump out
here with me. There is a gentleman
here who is most anxious to see you"
The agent met them at the door, and to
the establishment and dismay of the de-
tective, shook the red. haired man warm.
ly by the hand, and appeared delighted
to see him.
az was just about to start for the
steamer to meet YOU" he said. How
did you find the house?"
"This kind person directed me-" said
the red-haired man with grin. "He
would have it that was-who got away
with us some months ago." The officer
was paralyzed. The gentleman whom
he had escorted to the agents was a
of the plundered firm, quite as
anxious for the capture of the embezzler
as the detective, but he bore a remark
able personal resemblance. to the thief.
The question of whether, under the
the detective should be
reimbursed for the hack outlay is still
in allegiance.

LOVE AND RELIGION.
A Pittsburgh Girl Who Converted Hsr
Lover but Could Not Marry.

Lover but Could Not Marry.
William Flynn. an ex-member of the
legislature, asked in marriage Miss
jennie Hook, of Pittsburg, Pa, pretty
blonde of IS. He was Protestant and
she Cath Die, and the parents of Miss
Hook objected to union, but the bar
rier that this difference built between
them was not strong enough to keep
them apart, for Flynn kept coming and
coming at stated evenings of the week,
and Jennie was always at home. The
parents persisted in their objec-
tons, and told him to cease his
visits. Miss Jennie said she would not
marry any other man but Flynn, where
upon the parents consented to the visits
with the distinct un Outstanding, how
ever, that they were to remain single
But finally the wooer was won from his
strong conviction, and at the end of a
five years course of lectures to that end
he consented to be baptised in the
Catholic faith. OF course, this capitu-
latlon, after so long siege, was sig
nal of great Joy to the young lady, and
she went at once to the Episcopal resi-
dence, gave word that she had secured
proselyte, and time was fixed when she
might bring the young man and the
ceremony of repaptism be solemnized.
Under the forms of the Catholic
religion. in cases of this kind, where the
convert has no parents protesting the
same belief, it is necessary that some one
shall act in that capacity, become their
godfather or godmother and pledge
themselves to act IN that capacity and
keep a guardianship over them through
life. And this pledge is solemn and
perfectly binding. At the time set for
the baptism the two lovers were at
hand, had gone together without other
attendants, and the solemn ceremony
was gone through with. When the
priest asked her if she was to act as
godmother the happy young woman
readily assented, eager that no techni-
cality should delay the consummation
of her wish. And when the ceremony
was through the young girl, with flush
ed cheeks and hesitating words, told
how the wsrk of that hour had destroy
ed the barriers between them and that
they, too, would soon come before him
again to solemnize another ceremony
and to ask his blessing.
Soon after, when they wanted to get
married, the priest refused to perform
the ceremony on the ground that the
young woman having become god
mother could not become the wife of
her convert. The good father comfort
ed them as best he could, and offered,
as the only consolation at hand, that
perhaps petition to Rome might aG-
solve her from her VOWS. They went
away, and this advice was acted upon
as quickly as possible. They waited
anxiously for two years, but hope 30
long deferred grew sick, and at last the
bridegroom, feeling the injustice of be-
ing kept waiting so long, insisted on
being released. Since then he has
married young lady of Penn avenue,
a school teacher being his choice. She
lived only few months after the we'd
ding, and now the petition to Rome is
beng agitated again. for the young
