sentiment, and the circumstances under
which he had left the house.

standing by the window. listened in sill

1t was striking five when we quilted
the house. The Judge left me to look
about the garden and its vicinity for Van
Hoeck; he himself struck out at once for
the wood, taking Lola with him. The
girl would have stayed with me, but her
father had her hand IN his, and there
was no getting away from that grip.
After exploring the garden, I took the
path that led to the lodge, as being one
that Van Hoeck frequently walked in
when alone. The lodge-kceper was not
up, but. passing throu. h the open wicket
INTO the road, came upon a laborer,
tridging along to bis work with a pick
upon his shoulder, and a tin flask in his
hand.

Colonel Don Piatt appeared recently
before the Senate committee ON post
offices to advocate the passage of the
House bill to prohibit the transmission
of cheap literature by mail at one cent
pound. He said that by the misuse
of the word periodicals in the law,
the mails had become crowded with
matter, of which the Seaside Library
publications were a sample, to such an
extent that the postal cars would have
to be changed to freight cars if il
should go further. The Third Assist
ant Postmaster General had authorized
him to state this. lie defined a." peri
odical" to be a periodical publication
of miscellaneous matter more elabo-
rate than newspaper Yet not so elab-
crate as book. II was an insult TO
intelligence to call such publication
as the one exhibited Ia volume of the

Death OF q Hebrew Hermit.

Boston, April 16.-Alexander E.
Cohen, long known as "Andovers her
nit" is dead. The story Of his life is
a strange one, full of pathetic incidents.
Born ut Yanover, Russia, early in the
century, late in 1859 or early
in 1860 he came TO Andover,
having previously tutored the children
of leading families of New York City
in the languages. From the popularity
of his personal appearance he attracted
the attention of the people here, who
made him the subject of ridicule and
laughter. All sorts of stories regard
ing his marriage were told at this time.
When he came to Andover he was
alone and without acquaintance in a
wild and apparently unfriendly settle
ment. His loneliness lasted about a
year, when he induced his wife to come
to this country. They lived alone but
happily for two years. She was a
bright-looking woman. Since her
death, about fifteen years ago, he has
had no one to share his wretched her
mitage.
His familiarity with Hebrew litera-
ture warranted DIR. Selab Merrill, Of
the Andovcr Theological Seminary
and late Consul to Jerusalem, in secur-
ing his services as an assistant in his
department of the institution. Ills aid
was valuable, and his knowledge Of
Hebrew language was freely diffused
In the lecture room. lie was scholarly
but the impersonation of carelessness
In dress. For this reason he wns ex'

"HONEST UNCLE DICk.r
The Treasurer Of Kentucky Proven 10
Have Been Thief For Twenty Years.

Special to Times-Democrat.
Frankfort, April 22.-For twenty
days two experts have been at work
investigating the books of the State
Treasurer, and the rottennes they have
unearthed will cover hundreds of pages
of type written foolscap. The report
will not be read to. the Legislature
until Tuesday morning, but the repre-
sentative of the Times-Democrat has
had peep at the report. 1t shows
that Treasurer James W. Tate, "lIonest
Uncle Dick" has been a thief since he
was first elected in 1868, twenty years
ago. His peculations have run through
all these years undiscovered, through
the almost criminal carolcssness Of
officers of the State whose duty ii was
to watch him. These officers, who say
they took Tate's word for the exami-
nation they were sworn to make, were
ex-Secretary of State Mckenzie and
the present Auditor, Fayettc Hewitt.
Coming from 1868 down TO 1876,
there is in the latter year clear evil
dence that Tate has added forgery to
his other crimes. His bank books
show where he forged names and
figures to make his accounts balance on
his books. This is the reason his

Fund of Louisville, Ky, cooperative
society having an income Of $l0s,000
per annum, has just stopped payment
owing about 10000 to the widows and

TramDs In Germany.

In Germany bcggary has vastly in
creased since the war. Tramping, too,
Is easier since tho abolition Of the strict
law Of settlement, which made pass
necessary for everyone going outside
his native territory. The French mil
lizards made the Germans fancy they
had suddenly become fabulously rich.
Everybody launched out; the most fru-
gal nation in Europe became nation
Of spendthrifts and spectators. New
railways were planned IN all directions;
every third-rate town began TO build
grand suburbs. This drew thousands
Of laborers Off the land, and when the
bubble burst and the nation realized
the fact that the milliards were not
in circulation Mt all, but locked up In
the treasure vaults at Berlin, these
were thrown out of work and Obliged
to go on tramp. Most of those tramps
are literally homeless having no place
to which they are legally chargeable,
and employers are very shy of keeping
any Of them long enough TO give them
a claim on the rates. No wonder. then,
that German tramps are beginning to
form packs, like the wolves. Such a
pack will swoop down on lonely vii
lage, while the men are away in the
fields, and will extort money and food
from the women, the solitary police
man looking hopelessly OH. IF the vii
iage starts pursuit and prosecutes,
that means a good many extra pfen-
nigs in the local rates, SO they are al
lowed to pass OH. Nay, some villages
prefer paying blackmail, like the Isle
of Man shopkeopers. Lodging, too. is
seldom refused lest, if the barn door
is kept locked the farmer "may see the
red cock perch on his thatch."-All the

The new raft, which will be larger
