A NEW YORK eEceAR.

His Shrewduess and Persistency Earns
Him an Easy Quarter.
The unfortunate and much-maligned
tramp who is met every evening IN the
City Hall park. asking penny Of his
victims as they file through, is not
wanting in q very perccptible dash Of
humor now and then. A rather good
looking man passed him night or two
ago in n tremendous hurry, but was
halted with the usual salutation.
II haven't a cent tonight, my good
! fellow" he said. 81 am absolutely
dead broke"
"Bad as all that? Haven't you got
penny2" pleaded the tramp, putting on
his most hungry look
mo, not a red; tell you I'm dead,
fat broke"
Now, look here, pardner," replied
the beggar, lowering in the mans
shadow as he dashed on toward the
bridge, 'are you serious about bein'
broke? Lots and lots of people say that
just to keep from giving poor devil
anything, and at the same time to spare
his feelings. You"
"Confound it, man, don't you know
when TO turn loose? If had million

''My FRIEND" said the tramp, ct
wouldn't accept cent from you now.
You've hurt my feelings unnecessarily.

If you had said seriously you We're
broke was going to offer you a penny
of my scanty store. 1 amt got any too
much to speak of, but 1 couldn't bear
to see well-dressed man like you

pocket. Just to show you there's no
hard feelings, let me lend you dollar

you've got dollar and begging for
more? That's your game, eh? You
ought to be locked up. I've mind to
call policeman"
| Don't. They all know me, and you'd
be wasting your time. Besides, if I
have got dollar and am begging for
more, you mustn't forget that offered
to lend it to you. It's all I've got in
this world, and was willing to trust it
to you, an utter stranger. We beggars
must keep always little ahead, else
we would starve to death. we meet so

Violating the Election Law.

When a cause becomes desperate
and to maintain political ring involves
life and death struggle, the transition
from law-maker to law break rappears
easy enough for some. This is said by
way of preface to transaction in which
q gentleman figures, who represents
Legislative district IN an adjoining
county. The story goes, and there is
excellent proof for it, that the afore-
SAID legislator and manufacturer Of
laws, stood within the voting place in
his precinct all day at the recent elec-
ton, and marked sample ballots, hand
ing one to each voter as said voter went
to the booth to prepare his ballot This
boss worked his scheme until he
used up every sample ballot, and then
he took into his possession the official
ballots and tearing off the ends he
made the same use of these until the
polls closed. He professed to have
legerdemain powers, for he said that
by taking the ends from the "official"
ballots, presto change, these ballots
were transformed into sample" bal
lots. Let it be born in mind that this
person was no officer of the election
board and his action must be construed
as nothing less than "electioneering"
right under the noses of the election
officers. One Of the inspectors asked
If he was not "electiOneering," and he
answered the inspector in language not
altogether unique, that it was none of
his business and he had better 90 back
to his seat where he belonged. In
playing the role of dicta tor at the polls
he.was evidently aping Boss Wall, who
has been giving him training for two
terms past. But the joke connected
with this matter is that the candidate
be used such questionable methods to
elect was away behind when the votes
were counted. We have in our posses
sion one of the ''official' ballots duly
marked from which was made ''sam-
ple' ballot. tits proceedings like these
which make the present system of vot-
ing a good deal of farce in many
localities, but having the law, let US,
legislators and all, pay respect to it's
provisions SO long as it remains on the
statute books. The Cooper election
law contemplatesp prosecution and pun
ishment to follow such infringements
OF the measure, as we have outlined,
and were this done, elections might be
more expressive of the will of the peo-
pie than they often are now.

The acreage of strawberries in
Louisiana this year is almost double
that of 1892. The crop is now at it's best,
the first crates Of berries having been
sold within week in New Orleans.
The supply in the southern part of the
state named is bountiful.
The barn Of Nels Nelson, in the
town of Ashippun, Dodge county, was

It seems that the barn did not burn

ABSOLUTELY PURE
The Dodge County Election.

G. A Christensen is elected county
judge of Dodge county over James E.
Malone, the Democratic candidate, by
majority of 450 There is no political
significance in this result, Democrats
and Republicans uniting in the support
of Mr.. Christensen, indeed the strong
est Democratic towns in the county
throwing their strength for him as
against Mr.. Malone The latter was
regarded as the exponent and candi-
date of the Lamereux Dodge county
ring, and as such was repudiated bv all
who were opposed to trickery and
questionable methods and practices in
Dodge county government affairs, per
meating every branch from the highest
office down to the selection of iuries.
Fortified with the high compliment of
such an endorsement, the friends of
Mr.. christensen need have no fears
that he will not discharge the duties Of
the office of county judge with hon
esty, falthfulnessand capabiity, and III
the best Interests of the entire people.

Caramel Malt Coffee,

During the present week the people
of this city will be furnished samples
of Rahr's Caramel Malt Coffee, which
has been SO successfully introduced in
many cities of Wisconsin. The coffee.
as its name implies, is manufactured
from malt. During the process, which
is patented, the malt is caramelized
and product is obtained closely re-
sembling coffee in taste, but which re-
tains all the nourishing and health
giving qualities of malt extract The
use Of malt coffee diminishes the iniur-
ious effects of coffeins and makes it
possible for all to enjoy delicious and
exhilerating beverage. For nervously
inclined persons and children the in
fusion made from the pure caramel
malt coffee has no superior.
When tie great harm that the free use
of coffee causes is considered, it must
be admitted that the manufacturers
of the caramel malt coffee deserve the
applause ofeveryone. They have dis
covered valuable thing for humanity.
In short time every family in Water
town will be using it. The laborer will
drink it because it is cheap and good,
and the brain worker because it exhil-
crates without weakening and under
mining the system.
If you want to test the exhilerating
and life-giving qualities of pure malt
extract try Rahr's Caramel Malt Coffee
according to direction. You will notice
its remarkably health-giving and bene-
fetal effects after using it only short
time, and will prefer it to the finest
Mocha or Java coffee. In Rahr's Car
amel Malt Coffee we have malt in it's
purest, most compatible and assimile
form. We predict great and we'll de-
served success for the coffee.

The Monday Evening Club PARTY.

The Monday Evening Club Party.
The first annual reception and ball
of the Monday Evening club took place
at the Concordia Opera house, last Fri
day evening, and was favored with the
presence Of quite large and select as
semblage. 1t may be truly said of the
affair that never before have such
unique arrangements as enhanced the
merits of this party been attempted
here on like occasions. The front of
the stage was prettily decorated with
variety of potted plants and flowers,
and behind these the musicians we're
stationed, the effect of the melodious
strains of music issuing from the same
place whence came the sweet perfume
Of flowers being decidedly charming.
And by the way, it was generally re-
marked that Messrs. Hardege, Wenck
and Sproesser have never furnished
better music than at this time. The
selections for the dances were all we'll
chosen and pleasing to the ear. The
dance programme consisted of eighteen
popular numbers. Midway between
these, luncheon was served in the
lower hall. The scene which here pre-
sented itself was indeed a feast for the
eyes as we'll as for the Inner man"
To the young ladies of the club was of
course solely due the credit for the
exquisite menu provided, and for the
tasty arrangement of the tables and
their settings. Withal, it was a very
pretty party, and the clubs guests had
much to be thankful for in the way of
entertainment. There were several
present from out of town.

MarignOli Palace, in the suburbs, another
explosion occurred in the city, being the
third outrage of the kind up TO that time
within tile city proper in less than one week.
Last nights outrage was perpetrated at the
residence OF Marquis Sacchetti, grand mar
shal of the Papal court. and has caused
feeling of great anxiety in Vatican circles,
in view o; the fact that the efforts of the
dynamiters seem in measure to be directed
against the attaches Of the Pope's court
Fortunately the only damage done was the
breaking of many windows and soaring
the walls somewhat.
During the night another bomb was
found on the staircase in the Via della

and the discovery was made just in time 10

would have resulted seriously TO the build

The palice have no clsw to the authors nf
the outrages, though it is firmly believed
they are anarchists trying to intimidate the
authorities and thus prevent the punishment
of number OF their friends recently ar
rested This theory is not generally
accepted. however. as the outrages have
been directed as much az inst the Vatican
officers as against the Government. Every
possible effort is being made 20 detect the
guilty parties and prevent a repetition Of
the Outrages.
To-day there was a renewal of the CAM

DAMAGING CHARGES.
Rector AElIwardt Now Springs New
Sensation.

BERLIN, March 21.-Rect0r Ahlwardt, in
the course of rabidly an:i-semetic speech
in the Reichstag to-day, declared that he
had documents which showed conclusively
that while Prince Bismarck was Chancellor
fraudulent contracts were made repeatedly
with Jewish inanciers. Vast amounts
were transferred dishonesty by means of
these contracts from the Golfers Of the state
to the pockets OF Jewish spectators These
statements were made by Ahlwardt amid
growing confusion, and he was interrupted
frequently by calls for names, but he did
not give them.
After the president mad quieted the house
Ahlwardt said that the Deputies were not
obliged to depend upon his word for proof
that these frauds existed, as the dOcumen-
tary evidence was above impeachment.
Had the losses to the state through these
contracts been trivial the matter might bet
ter have been allowed to pass unnoticed,
but the truth was that through its relations
with the Jews the Government had lost
hundreds of millions. The documents prov
Ing this were signed by men of nation al
reputation. several of whom were now Min
listers, and one OF them was Miguel. the
Prussian Minister OF Finance.
prolonged uproar followed this state
ment, and the Deputies shouted that Ahl-
wardt should produce the documents. as his
word had been proven worthless, and the
debate closed with his being directed TO
submit the documents to the Reichstag to-
morrow,

Many Washouts Reported in Southern
California.

Los ANGELES, March 21.-The heavy rain
of the last few days caused many washouts
on the motor road. Two bents were carried
out of the bridge over the Santa Ana River
between Redlands and San Bernardino.
The repairs are expected to be completed
soon. The worst washOut. which has cut
off travel between here and San Francisco,
is about fourteen miles north of the city,
where eighty feet of the Teiinza bridge was
carried away and no trains from the north
have arrived since yesterday. 1t is ex-
pected to take till midnight to put in piles
for the bridge, and it is probable the trains
Will not be running over il before soms
time tomorrow morning. On the Santa
Ana branch there were three washouts be-
tween Florence and Downey, which Will be-
repaired by morning The Santa Fe had
the usual trouble at Lamanda Park and
the first train from San Bsrnardino had to
come around by way of Orange. It is re-
ported that three inches of rain fell at Ocean
side yesterday. The Terminal Railroad
also experienced some damage in the south

in the mountains by previous storms have
been melted by the warm rain and the
