-Tramps are becoming too numer-
Gus in the city, and are a greater an
noyance than for years. They were
begging for food at some of the best
houses today, and were impudent at
places. If the police have not author
ity to put them at work the council
should give them such power at once.
When the city had stone pile sever
al years ago tramps made circuit of
the city. There are numerous COM
plants of the tramps.

Still Uncertain.

June is memorial this year for it's
enthusiastic conventions which have
stirred nation. People have travel
ed hundreds and thousands of miles
to be present during formalities at
tending the selection of two repre-
sentative men of each of the two par
ties whom they put in nomination To
guide the government affairs. Yet
this is not enough. In fact is only
the preface to the struggle to follow
this fall in again deciding which pair
make the strongest team. While such
formulas seem to be necessary in state
affairs. there are great business enter
prises which perform transformations
and continue in the even tenor of
their way without attracting much
attention, or molesting general bust
ness. The railways are non-political,
non-sectarian. They serve all the
people, even as the great head of our
nation, quietly, continuously. One of
the great lines is the Minneapolis &
st. Louis BY. Albert Lea Route,
traversing Minnesota, Iowa and South
Dakota. Call on any of it's agents for
rates, maps, ETC., or G. M. Pratt, G..

The Congressional Committee VIII Un-

New YORK, July GA Washington
special to The World says Judge
Wheelers report of the Raum investiga-
ton which is now practically completed
and which will be submitted to the
committee and given to the press in the
course of few days is one Of the most
comprehensive and exhaustive docu-
ments ever elnanating from congress
sional committee. IN it the committee
finds the pension Office to be honey
combed by fraud, rascality, incompe-
tent methods, prejudice and malice.
The report recommends the removal of
Commissioner Raum on the ground that
he is incompetent, narrow minded, ma
licious in the pursuit of supposed enc
mics, and because he has subordinated
this great public machine to partisan
ends, besides taking advantage of his
official position to further his own fnan-
cial projects.

I'VE will go back to Pittsburg and will

A large guard of workingmen formed
about the deputies and started toward
the Amalgamated headquarters, where
the men were to be kept until the little
steamer Edna could be summoned to
transport the deputies to Glenwood.
There was but little demonstration.
Half an hour later the march to the
Edna, quarter of mile distant, was
begun. Each deputy was escorted by
workman, and none were permitted
to follow in their rear. Not
loud word was spoken
Acting Sheriff Cluty brought up
the rear of the procession, with Burgess
McGulickie, of Homestead, and when
the river bank was reached each deputy
shook hands in turn with his escort,
thanking him, and stepped on board. As
Sheriff Cluty stepped upon the gang
plank he turned and said. Il am much
obliged. boys, for your kindness, and
now | will walk the plank"
The Edna pushed off amid dead silence
and the little crowd quietly dispersed.
The Edna returned from Glenwood at 3
o'clock, after placing the shegiff's men
within easy reach of the electric cars for
Pittsburg, The town is very quiet,
though every guard is wide awake and
at his post.

cases that ever puzzled legal brains
A lady was seated few weeks ago in
the geological gardens, and for So
:urity's sake removed from her pocket
to her lap purse containing six SOW
ereigns. The show elephant shortly
lfterward came on his round, and mis-
taking the brown purse for bun,
gracefully transferred it to its trunk
and tn ,nce into its stomach. The
management of the gardens were at
once appealed to, and emetics applied,
but no more than two Of enc sovereigns
and munched bits of he purse were re-
covered. The solicitors for the lady
are now, therefore, suing the geological
society for the missing four soyereigns,

the elephant, and the elephant pos

just at present women are looking
for q photographer who can invent a
name bad enough to fit the man who
never steps anywhere else when there
Is a train of a gown handy, for though
the street skirt is shorter the house
dress more than makes up for 1t in
added length. The difference between
the trained bell skirt of the summer
and the cathedral train we are called
upon to wear at present is apparent to
the study of any gown of striped mate
rial Instead Of the stripes meeting in
angles all the way up the back, by the
skillful insertion Of cores, which do not
extend all the way to the belt, the
stripes are made to slope in ut the top
and flare out at the bottom with grace
full effect The idea finds expression in
a dinner dress of Marie Antoinette bro
cade. white, with broad stripes of flow
ers In the old-fashioned colors. The
stripes il counted ut the waist line
would not equal those appearing at the
edge of the train. Broad rufies Of
black velvet lined with bright green
are fulled over the shoulder and sloped
into q jacket-like effect both in the
back and front The jacket is laced
together at the back with velvet cords

KITCHEN CUTLERY,
Good Material Is Always Cheaper Thar
Poor.

Good Material Is Always Cheaper Than
Poor.
Not one person in q Thousand under
stands how to select good steel kitchen
knife. 1t is false economy to provide q
kitchenmaid with cheap, inferior tools.
She will appreciate your consideration.
If she is the right kind of girl, IL she
is provided with suitable tools to do her
work with. and will equally appreciate
your niggardncss or ignorance il she is
provided with iron bread knives and
potato knives that act as saws The
difference in cost between good tools of
this kind and inferior ones Is not very
great The method Of testing them Is
simple. good steel knife is elastic
and bends readily and easily when the
point is pressed on the table. A good
English bread knife will cost about IS
cents and upward, French knives 81. IS
and upward 1t is always wise to buy
these knives of an experienced cutler,
who is thoroughly trustworthy. The
knives of the most distinguished maker
of kitchen cutlery have been initiated
even so far as the name; so unless you
are a Judge of a good knife yourself, 1t
is better to depend on Trustworthy
dealer. 1t is hardly necessary to add
that such valuable knives should be
kept away from the Are or their temper
will be lost, and they will be of no more
value than an iron knife. This should
be explained to the servant, and every
kitchen should be providea zs:.h at
least two cheap iron ,-.nves TO rse
around the stove. A scraping knife
goo enough for the purpose will cost
about 20 cents and is convenient arti-
Gle to use about the stove. 1t Is a short
knife with q broad, fan-shaped blade,
with keen edge that answers the pur-
pose of scraping pots and pans admira-
