HoodIums at the Terminus of the Ho,
ard-Street Cable

Houdlums at the Terminus of the How
ard-Street Cable.
Since the completion of the Howard-street
cable line quite settlement has grown up
south of the terminus OF the liue, and on
both sides thereof as well as beyond Twenty
ninth street. Streets running west, which
were not graded year ago, are now fully
graded and severed. Thousands of work
ingmen live in neat little cottages, and chill
dren's laughter may be heard as they sport
on the hilisides.
The entire neighborhood is quiet except
at night when hoOdiumS have things about
their own way. y CALL reporter yesterday
afternoon learned some hitherto unpIb-
lished facts about life after shutdown in that
thriving settlement. !
You heard how hoodlums knocked out
an officer lately" said a policeman, land
credit was given to the wrong gang 1t was
the Twenty-ninth and Church street crowd
that did the work, and l will tell you some
thing about them" Continuing, the officer
said:
There is a crowd of toughs whose ages
average from is to 30 years, and they con-
gregate every night in the vicinity of the
FOur-mile House and about st. Mary's
Church. Their ideals are Jesse and Frank
James, and they are tough lot all around.
A few nights ago they robbed stranger
and when officers appeared they ran like
scared wolves. They make a practice of in
sultlng women and doing up well-dressed
strangers. They usually assemble in front
of saloons, and the police force seem to be
unable to do anything with them. There is
no low and deprayed act of hOodlumiSm Of
which they are not guilty, and they are the
terror of the nelghborhOod. They insult
women, attack policemen and rob strangers.
A man who goes there after shutdown needs
to be armed to protect himself against their
assaults"

the whole matter and confess himself

The first ten minutes after a tired man
wakes in the morning and faces the
fresh difficulties of the day are the bluest
of the twenty-four hours, and on this
particular morning Tom answered with
emphasis the old German philosophers
famous question. Life was not worth
living. He broke a hair brush in endeav.

phasis.

THE VISION OF !.
A Beautiful AIIcgory Of Human

"The bridge thou seest,n said
he, sis human life. Consider it at
tentiyely.n Upon a more leisure
ly survey of it, / found that it con-
sisted Of three-score and ten entire
arches, with several broken arches,
which, added to those that were
entire, made up the number about
100. As was counting the arches
the genius told me that this bridge
consisted at first of 1000 arches,
but that a great flood swept away
the rest and LETT the bridge in the
ruinous condition ] now beheid it.
"But tell me further" said he,
"what thou discovereth on it?,'
81 see multitudes Of people pass
ing over it," said ], "and a black
cloud hanging on each end Of it."
AS ! looked more attentively / saw
several of the passengers dropping
through the bridge into the great
tide that flowed underneath it;and,
upon further examination, per-
ceived that there were innumera.
BILE trap doors that lay concealed in
the bridge, which the passengers
no sooner trod upon but they fell
through them into the tide, and
Immediately disappeared. These
hidden pitfalls were set very thick
at the entrance of the bridge, SO
that the throngs of people no
sooner broke through the cloud
than many of them fell into them.
They grew thinner towards the
middle, but multiplied and laid
closer towards the end of the
arches that were entire. There
were, indeed, some persons, but
