Recruits for the Army of Tramps.

DIR. J. M. Walk, Secretary of the So
ciety for Organizing Charity, in Phila-
delphia, is making a study of the ma
tionality of tramps. All who lodge in
the police stations, who are treated in
hospitals, get free meals, work in the
wood yards, or are housed at the way-
farers' inns, come under his notice. He
says that very lately there has been an
influx of INDECENT Englishmen to this
country, most of them from English
poorhouses, and that they have swelled
the tramp army. Out of 200 tramps a
month applying for relief during the
past winter, 120 were Englishmen. Many
of them had been thrown out of employ
ment, and often left their families be-
hind them. They were nearly all fresh
arrivals in the country.
DIR. Walk finds that three-fourths of
the tramps are foreigners. Very few
negroes become tramps. The Superin-
tendent of Charities in New Orleans has
informed Dr. Walk that Notwithstanding
its large colored population, three
fourths of all applications for relief in
that city come from whites.

A Roller Skaters Outfit.

William Donovan. the winner of the
six days skating contest in New York,
is II years of age, shoemaker by trade,
but has worked little since the introduce
ton of the skating craze. He had en-
tered and won several local short-d dis
lance matches, but little was thought of
entering him in the six days go-as-you-
please match. Donovan and few boy
chums talked over the six-day contest,
and they urged him to enter the race
He said he had nothing to go with, but
would try it if he could get an outfit
The boys were determined thencefor-
ward that Donovan should undertake
the task. One of the boys, Willie
O'ConnelI, accordingly purchased for
him a shirt suitable for skating in, and
loaned him a silk handkerchief and a
cap. Genie McManus bought MIN a
pair of ball shoes and a belt. John
Sullivan gave him cap and John john
son furnished him pair Of knee
breeches. When everything was ready
Patsy Tobin, who himself had contested
several races with Donovan, loaned him
an oyercoat. and John Bolan let him
take his satchel. The boys then raised
81 for him, and Dan Lynch gave him
enough to land him safely in New York
and have little left over. Borrowing
three pairs of skates from Mike Flahive,
Jack Morgan, and Genie McManus,
Donoven started for New York on Fri
day, Feb. 26, carrying with him the best
wishes of the few in Elmira who knew
of his going, aside from those who gave
a share to send him there. Young Dono-
van on reaching New York was alone
and friendless, but, as is known, soon
forged to the front and made many
friends.

4 House for Victims,

The following paragraph from New
York correspondent appears in Boston
newspaper:
81 was walking up Park avenue the
other day with one of Pinkerton's de-
tectives on his way to the depot, and he
told me curious story. We had just
passed the late residence of John Emo,
the defaulter, when he called my atten-
ton to very quiet house in a neighbor-
ing block. That house there, he said,
used to be let out furnished, by the day.
On, you needn't look surprised, for it's a
fact, and there are lots of places in this
city that can be engaged on the same
terms. They are mostly in use by
bunco steerers who want nice fashion
able house in a good street to take their
victims to and fleece them. For fifty
dollars a day they can get well-fur-
nished house. There was woman who
took this house for a week and turned it
into a novel purpose. 1t seems she had
met millionaire at one of the summer
resorts, and had resolved to capture him
or a share of his fortune. She put on
great airs when she was at the hotel
where he was, and pretended that she
was woman of fortune. The old gentle
man was finally presented to her. We'll,
she played with him as an angler does
with a trout, and even agreed to invest
a trifing 100000 in an orphan asylum
he wanted to build before he died. She
was so successful that when the old
gentleman called to see her in her Park
avenue house, which she owned for
week, he proposed to her at once. She
insisted that he should first make $780,,
900 over to her as a wedding present; a
freak, she said it was, test of his love
for her. The old fool consented, She
married him with great eclat. They
went TO Europe, then they separated,
and divorce suit is now pending. That
house brought her $50, 900, and in a few
months she will fold up her tent like the
Arab and drift of TO other and more
congenial fields"

A Woman Burned TO Death.

Mrs. Jennie Sanford, of Chicago, had
been down town shopping. After tea
she sat III the sitting groom reading the
evening paper. Over her head was a
hanging lamp. Suddenly, without
warning, the lamp loosened from its fast
enings and came down with q crash.
It broke, the oil caught fire, aud the
burning fluid was dashed over Mrs. San
ford. No one else was in the room but
her only daughter, child of five
years. Don't como near NE p cried
the mother as she grasped some cover
ings and tried to smother the flames. It
was IN vain, and to save her child she
rushed down stairs and out OF the house
screaming. leaving a trail of fire behind.
She evidently knew of a little pond of
water in the lot, for she made straight
for it. The child attempted to follow
its mother, and in its hurry fell down
stairs. 1t was severely burned in the
stream Of fire the mother left behind.
Help was summoned and the lady was
picked up and carried into drug store.
Here it was found that the whole upper
portion OF her garments had been burned
off. Her breast, arms, face, and
her hair was scorched and blistered,
and she suffered the most excruciating
agony. After little while she was
taken home, where she fingered in in

AN ARMY OFFICERS REVENGE.
How Albuquerque was educed to the Dr.
mensiOns of n Tbird-rate Town.

Years ago the powerful tribe of Navajo
Indians were at war with the United
States. After much bloodshed, Kit
Carson succeeded in starving them into
submission, by destroying all their crops
and herds, and by cutting down their
peach trees. After making a treaty of
peace, the Government ordered them
moved to the Bosque Redondo, in the
eastern part of the Territory, and very
near the Texas line Fort Sumner was
the headquarters. The Navaios were
very much dissatisfied with this location,
and after much begging to be allowed to
go back to their own country the Govern
ment consented to let them go.
Major Ludington was in charge of the
quartermaster stores. In going back
to their present Navajo reservation he
chose to cross the river at Albuquerque,
New Mexico. The water was high when
he arrived there with the Indians, and to
cross with boats he found he lacked a
certain sized hawser. He could only find
one in town that answered his purpose,
and that was in the hands of certain
merchant who still lives there. This
merchant would have been glad to have
sold this rope previous to this time for
20 cents pound, but as soon as he
found there was none other in town,
and that it was absolutely necessary for
Major Ludington to have this one, he
put an enormous value on it. When the
quartermaster learned the situation of
affairs, to say that he was mad is draw
ing it very mild. He furiously invited
the owner of the hawser to visit the in
fernal kingdom, and made oath that he
would ruin this town.
An express was Immediately sent to
Santa Fe and a suitable rope was
brought down. Of course several days
were consumed here, but after he had
crossed his Indians and located them on
their present reservation Major Luding-
ton went to Santa Fe and ordered an
other road laid out to Fort Wingate.
That road goes over what is called the
Labajada hill in southwest course
from Santa Fe, via Pena Blanca and San
Ysidro, and joins the road running
west from that place at Aqua AzuI.
The Major then succeeded in having all
Government trains and Prescott mail
sent over that road.
1t was DEATH blow to Albuquerque.
From a thriving business place it was
almost utterly paralyzed, for the Govern
ment was about the only means of sup
port for the Territory in those days.
Thus Albuquerque was executed by a
rome.

Pay OF Soldiers.
HOW CHINA REWARDS HER WARRIORS AND

Every army has its particular mode of
payment. In France, Italy, ETC., the
men are paid every five days; in Ger
many every ten days; in Spain-seldom,
and ia Turkey "a still sareE- oocasiOas I
In China soldiers are paid monthly.
The Chinese soldier generally feeds
himself, the government not looking
after the cOmmissariat department.
There is little or no trouble about the
commissariat arrangements, as the Chi
nese soldier lives entirely on boiled rice.
Out Of his monthly pay of three and a
half taeIs, about thirty francs, he sets
aside one-third for his keep; the rest
goes for clothing, equipment and pocket
mOney-should anything be left. On the
eve Of pay day the captain of the COM
pany and his sergeant major call upon
their superior officer, who hands them
the amount due to the company in silver
bars. The Empire having no coinage,
the rest OF the night is devoted by the
captain and all his subordinate officers
in cutting and weighing the pay of each
man. This is enwrapped in paper bear
ing the name OF the man 10 whom it is
destined.
The distribution is made, after which
the sergeant major cries out. "Any COM
plaint?" There being seldom any on
account of the minute care taken by the
officers in the subdivision of the silver,
the men break rank and run to the
money changers. Some one thousand
six hundred copper coins, pierced in the
middle and strung on a string, are given
them for each tael or ounce of silver.
