There seems to be hegera Of tramps
lately. Hardly night passes that num-
Der do not apply at the police headquarters
for lodging Some very dissoluUe looking
characters, and others who are neatly
dressed young men, who say they are IN
search Of work, but without money to pro
cure lodging. All are given beds and some
of them are very thankful
Hands were busy yesterday removing
the decorations throughout the CITY, and
very little of the bunting can ever be utl-
| lied again. for wherever it was not Of fast
colors it faded out, dyeILg the walls a de
clded cardinal and deep blue. Many OF the
flags were floating last night, but Brough-
ton street took off the greater part Of It's
holiday attire yesterday, and began to as
sumo its old-tlme LOOK again.
w. S. Mattlieson, one of the attaches of
Prof. BristOl's Egues-C Curriculum, while
leading pair of horses into the car yester
day, was thrown violently against a door
with glass windows, and his left arm was so
badly cut that about forty stitches at the
| hands of the surgeon were required. The
force Of the flying glass was SO great that
| the face OF the cOlOred porter, some distance
away. was considerably bruised and
scratched.
In mentioning the decorations, it is due
to the heather Chinee, who has washee-
washee shops all through the business part
of the city, to say that they hung out a
small collection Of small flags about the
size of DOYLE, the yellow dish cloth Of the
Oriental predominatlng. The eXtravagant
John Chinaman doesn't stop at expense
when he wants to decorate deliberately, and
, he Is liable TO spend D.. for yellow nankin
on all great occasions.

live on Perry street, but he thinks its parents
reside somewhere beyond the Park. The
| child had not been claimed up to midnight,
and it was put to bed at the barracks
Sergt. Lee, who was on duty, said it is
not an uncommon thing for such little
| dodgers to be taken care Of over night, and
their parents do not seem to worry over the
| absence of the little runawayS MANY Of
them,n he went on to say, sleep out on
stoops half the time and they are expected
to turn up all right in the morning"
