."GENTlEMEN TRAMPS."
They Arc Becoming az Numerous In Nov
York as Monument Funds,

What the police call gentlemen
tramps' are becoming more and more
prevalent, says tho New York Sun.
Members OF the force and people who
are familiar with the loungers in Ger.
. tain parts of. New York are often inter-
ested in the gradual downfall Of man
whom they know by sight. AS the
months 20 by these loungers grow more
and more sseedy and needy in appear
ance. Neatness leaves them and they
gradually become mendicants on the
highway; but they are not classed with
the regular professional tramp. The
t,"gentlemen tramps" are men who have
formerly been respectable and often
have some sort Of. desire to procure
work. 2. They are always going some.
where to answer an advertisement or to
make an inquiry, but incidentally they
are on the outlook for aims Perhaps
the most successful Of all these
men is tall and rather mill
tary looking parsonage, about fifty
years OF age, with a white NOUS
stache and head of curly white
hair He tramps between Fifteenth and
Twenty-third streets, and, according to
the police and shopkeepers of that vicin-
ity, has begged for nearly eight years.
He was once foor-walker at famous
dry-goods house on Fourteenth street.
His feet were almost on the ground.
but there is > pretense of backing
on what remains of his boots, and there
Is an air Of ostentatious but fictitious
neatness in his attire. He does not ap-
proach people promiscuously, but singles
out his victims with great sagacity and
care. They are nearly always elderly
ladies or spinsters verging on middle
life. He stares at the women from
whom he intends to beg plaintively for
a long time as he walks near her. Then
he takes of his hat, approaches hum
bly,, and pours out his tale of woe. He
never under any circumstances, at
tempts to beg from man. His story
is SO effective that in nearly every In
stance the woman from whom he begs
stops and listens courteously. Then
she opens her purse slowly and looks at
her change. After carefully consider
ing the question after the fashion OF
women, she deliberately selects her
coin and passes it over to the beppar.
His manifestation of gratitude is ex.
treme. He is said to be the only beg
gar who succeeds regularly IN getting
contributions from the same victims
many times over.

Thousands of Spectators Witness the
Regatta Mt Duluth.
DULUTH (Minn.), July 2lst-Thousands
OF spectators were present this, the first,
day of the great regatta, and the weather
and water were in perfect condition. In
the junior singles the contestants were Net
tleton of Minnesota, Henderson of the Chi
cago Catlin Cldb and Thompson of Winni-
peg. Nettleton won by two lengths in
10:49. Thompson second, Henderson third.
The Junior four Dared race resulted (:
Winnipeg first. Duluth second, Minnesota
third, Lurlines fourth, st. Pauls fifth. The
judges boat unfortunately ran too close.
and the st. Pauls had to back water. This
delayed them several seconds Just after the
turn, and this added to the fact that the
Lurlines and Duluths fouled caused the
judges to decide that the race must be
rowed again.
The junior double was very unsatisfac-
tory. 1t was won by six boat lengths by
the Catlin Club of Chicago, the Minnesotas
second. During the last half the Catlins
had lead of ten lengths and were taking
it extremely easy, while Wright of the
Minnesotas appeared exhausted. The Lur-
lines stopped rowing three-eighths of q
mile from the finish. Catlins time 1:1O4.
The great professional double was a mag
nlhcent race. 1t was a two mile struggle,
the winning crew to get 81 900, the second
$3.50 and the third $3.50. Gaudaur and Nc.
Kay were nearest the shore. Teemer and
Hosmer next, Hanlan and Wise next. and
Hamm and Teneyck last.
There was some delay in giving the sig
nal, but when the shot was finally fired
every man dipped oars with wonderful una
nimity. The stroke of Gaudaur and Nc.
Kay soon told. aud they forged ahead of
Teemer and Hosmer, first quarter, then a
half and then full length. The crews
followed one another quite closely in order
from the shore, Gaudaur and Mckay pull
ing forty-two strokes to the minute and the
others thirty.six. Gaudaur and Mckay
were first to make the turn, but were
quickly followed by Hosmer and Teerner,
then Hamm and Teneyck and finally Han
Ian and Wise. Half way to the finish the
press boat was passed, when Gaudaur and
Mckay led Hosmer and Teemer by three
lengths. The latter kept hree-fourths of q
length ahead of Hamm. and Teneyck, who
kept the same distance ahead of the To-
ronto crew.
Gaudaur's crew shot across the line amid
the screeching of whistles, and about four
lengths ahead. The efforts of the last two
crews to pass Hosmer were unavaiIing, al.
though there was but quarter of length
between Teemer and Hamm, and also be-
tween Hamm and Hanlan at the finish
Hanlan would have done better had he not
lost both oars for second few hundred
yards from the finish. The time was

ern Union building this morning. At IL
O'Clock Manager Dealy issued the following
bulletin: Working from 1876 and AIS
Broadway to all points. The delay now Is
principally with way stations in New York,
New Jersey and Eastern States The forces
at the depot offices in Jersey City will be
called into 1875 Broadway, and the general
business will be done on good time from
now on" The wires are doing business at
the exchanges, being operated from 16
Broad street and 1876 Broadway. A swarm
of workmen is engaged repairing the dam
age to the building. 1t is not yet decided
whether it will be necessary to rebuild the
roof OF the structure, which will be an i'm
mense and costly job.
For the first time since the fire of Fri
day, Jay Gould this morning was at the
offices of the second floor of the Western
Union building. Little damage was done
by water there, and the usual force of clerks
was engaged in the usual routine. Said he
to the reporter:
II was not connected with the company
when this building was erected, but it was
understood to be as nearly fire proof as
possible to the floors. The walls aud stair
ways all were indestructible. OF course,
there was necessarily a vast amount of fuel
on hand in furniture needed to accommo-
date so many persons. 1t must be said,
however, in view of the probable origin of
the fire, that had it broken out at any
other time, it would almost certainly have
been extinguished at once. The fire doubt
less arose from the contact of several wires,
which were raised to white heat by COM
bined currents, igniting the covering of the
wires and woodwork near by. The men
usually on hand at the point where the fire
began were not there at that time to check
the spread of the flames, which were not
discovered until they had made some head
way. When the fire was at length noticed
the force of men on the spot was unequal
to accomplish what they at first attempted,
namely, to extirguish the fire without Civ
ing an alarm. 1t is doubtless proper to
say at any other hour the building would
not have been destroyed"

Ihere Will be More Money in the
Country.
New YORK, July 21st.-The Commercial
Bulletin says editorially: Silver bullion
mounts upward in price, but the prices of
commodities lag behind the market for
securities, which are, of sll markets, the
quickest and most certain to reflect any
substantial improvement in the monetary
or industrial conditions. 1t has hesitated
since the passage of the silver bill, as if the
men who control it were not quite sure
whether the bill would help or hurt specu-
lation in securities. There will be more
currency in circulation without any doubt.
but not necessarily better currency There
will be more money in this country of one
kind or another, but the increase will be
mainly in silver notes, and there is pos
sibility that the large supply of paper cir
culation may operate to drive gold out of
the country.
