Vagraney as a Profession.

From the Albany Journal.
"Vagrancy," said Supt. Mcintyre
of the Albany Penitentiary, in res
ponse to question last evening, ''is
as much of profession as burglary,
highway,robbery or bunco. OF course
it is hardly to be classed with those
professions, but even as there aresprO-
fessional cracksmen, thieves and
bunco artists, so are there profession.
al Migrants. It Is not q disease. but
some defect In their moral and physi-
cal nature which leads them to prefer
the careless life Of the 'vag' to one of
thrift and industry. 1 have had so
many at the institution in my time
that have come to thoroughly UNDER
stand the class. One man who was
with me for three months boosted
that he had spent more or less time
in. every Jail and penitentiary
throughout New York, New England
and Pennsylvania. Another fact
about your professional vsgrant or
tramp is that they never want to 60
back to the place from where they
were sent. For instance, if one is
sent in from along the Susquehanna
EOdu, vi &c uV Ic~
quests to be sent north, east or south,
or any direction that will take HIM
away FROM that In which he was ap-
pretended.
"Only the other day a tramp sent
from Otsego begged to be sent to
Hudson. He begged so hard that /
gave him q ticket to Hudson. The
next day he was back again. They
pulled me as soon as 1 stepped from
the train he said. County officers,
you see, are always OH the lookout for
tramps, because of the mileage re-
ceived for bringing them here. Work?
No; they wouldn't show any inclina-
ton or desire for work If they had to
lay In the penitentiary for months.
But we compel them to earn their
keep, very much to their disgust /
usually have them csne-seating
chairs. At present We are overrun
with tramps sent in from neig' bring
counties. Some of the commitments,
especially those made out by country
Justices, are remarkable specimens of
lack of education. Why. 1t is only
lately that q justice OF the peace in
this county committed two men to
the penitentiary for one year each for
assault, first degree. The commit
ment was on brown paper, and
neither the date. place nor circum-
stances of the offense were specified.

The Young Women's Christian as
ISOLATION will move into its spacious
new quarters today. The new home
is on the northeast corner of franklin
street and Park avenue, and was
formerly owned and occupied by Mr.
William Elliott. 1t was purchased
by the Young Women's Christian as.
sociation for So, 900, and about S23 900
has been expended in improvements,
thus bringing the cost up TO S45, 000
The managers have been indeeatig-
able in their efforts In collecting SUBJ
scriptions, but SIC, 900 of Indebtedness
remains, which the ladies hope to

marble pillows and steps at the en-.
trance on Franklin street. Its front
is 80 feet 6 inches, and, with the new
portion, which carries it back to
Hamilton street, 1t has depth OF 40

stairway of oak extending from the
hfs5 To the topmosu floor, in addition
to the main stairway in front. On the
lower flor will be the restaurant. q
bright and spacious apartment of 81

ecru coIored brick, with oak wood
work and an open fireplace and oak
mantel. On this floor will be also the
kitchen and store rooms. 1t is thought
that this restaurant Will be an i'm
portant part OF the work, as the mid
day luncheons have proved q great
accommodation to the sales women as
we'll as shoppers. On Saturday last
ut the old quarters 230 luncheons were
served.
The next floor contains class rooms
for other educational departments.
such as stenography, dressmaking

Watch For this Fellow.

An exchange says another swindler
is working the country districts. His
game is new one and the farmers bite
at it. The scamp says he is represen-
tative of a cooperative store which sells
groceries, dry goods, etc, to farmers at
wholesale prices. To get the benefit of
the store the farmer is required to pay a
fee of 80 cents year or 81 in advance
for two years. 1t is a slick game and
the fellow who is working it is slick
and sharp talker Many farmers are
parting with their 81 bills to get advan-
tage of the co operative store. The store
exists only in the brains of the agent
and he is a fraud.

Arrested On Suspicion.

About o'clock Friday night last three
young white men and burly negro,
the former giving their names as VIM.
Thomas, Geo. Worth and Albert Tracy,
and the negro calling himself George
Walker, were arrested in the gentle

by Capt. r. Fl. Davis, RevV. W. Wheeler,
Fred C. Allen and E. G. Bush, as sus-
picious characters. They had been loiter-
ing about the northwestern suburbs of
the city, just short distance from where
Mr.. Wheeler resides, and had enjoyed a
sumptuous meal of roast chicken. the
property of Contractor T. P Fischer,
who also resides in that section. Their
conduct was such as to make their press
ence undesirable, and it having been
learned that Sergeant Gleason had been
notified several weeks ago by the author
tiles at Hinton, w. Va, to keep watch
for a band of robbers. to whose descrip-
ton these parties answered as to num-
bers and character of membership, il
was decided to place them under arrest

spection they were unable to recognize
either Of the parties or to discover any
of the stolen property in their possession

release the prisoners, which was done or
Sunday morning last, with instructions
that they give this city no more of then
