How Tramp. Travel.

From an article in the Century giving &
 record of the adventures of yOung Amer lean who disguised himself As tramp
 and took to the road. the following er-
 tract is taken:
 of the states in the western district, think that Illinois. Iowa, wlrconssn, Min nssotA. Colorado, Washington and & part Of California are the best for trKups. IL hnoss ts thought especially well of by vAg- shondE beoA0se of Its good" railroads. The Illinois Central, for instance, is known the country over ks the best for s ioarnsy scatb. and have known trsmps to travel from New York city to Chicago, and go south by this line rather than start from New York direct for New Orleans. The Chicago, Burlington and Quincy" Is hlst great ''EnkpS" in fact, 60 much so that, when wac on the road, it wss called ''the bums' line" In Nebraska, where the 70 becomes the "B. and M. R. :" the lines are more tightly drawn, and 1t be- hooyes roadster 10 take to the trucks if be ts anxious to nAte good time.
 Truck ridsng is p~oessEry almost erery- where west of the MsssisHippi. Of course one can fool around" freight trains, but he is liable 10 be knocked oH when the train is st full speed, and unless this oc- curs on the desert, or where the ground Is rather soft, 1t may prove dangerous. once attempted to ride freight" on the Scuthern Pacific road, and it WAS the hardest experience I ever encountered. hung on 10 the aide of a oEttls-cEr In or der 10 keep out of the brAkenEn's wBv, but he eventually found me and ordered me 10 get up on top. There was made to turn my pockets inside ont to convince him that I had no money. Being En- sEered that could not give him s dime, he said: Well, hit the grAvell I can't carry you on this train" I told him that would never hit the gravel unless he said; "well, now, we'll see. So be chased me over his train for sbout fifteen min utes- l lodged here and there, and found that was quite able 10 elude him Rs long ss he alone followed me; but soon the ''Co1-" appeared, and then the chase be- gan in earnest. They finally pressed so near that was compelled 10 climb down the side of cattle car. They then tRnts- lEed me by splitting and swearing. Final ly the Con" climbed dewn also, and stepped on my fingers, so had to let go. Fortunately the train was Elscksning its speed just then-I really think the engi- nesr had hand in the matter, for he is usually a good fellow-Rnd I got of safely enough. But I had to drill" twenty miles that afternoon without A bite to est or drink of water. In the far west after that experience always made use of the trucks
 The usual time for eastern and western trsmps to start south is in October. Dur ing this month large squads of vsgsbonds will be found travelling towards "0rleEns."

THAT PRINCIPLE.

Don't forget to remember that there will be school district meeting at the Grand Opera House at o'clock Friday afternoon. The question which will come up there for decision Is a most important one. l. Is not who shall get the money for doing the work on the proposed building. but 1t is, shall what the Union calls 'tprinciple" be established by vote in the city of New Haven, the seat of Yale college, of Center church and the Judges Cave. What is the "principle." It Is that there Is but one kind of workingmenin in New Haven, namely, the Union kind. They are few in num- Der compared with the others, but their assumption is that the others haven't even 8 right to earn their daily bread. Further, the "principle" is that the heartless and wicked claims of the Union shall be em- bodied in the public decisions of the people of New Haven, and that the great body of non- union workingmen shall not be con- sidered by the government of this com munity. The "principle" is that there shall be cruel discrimination in favor of a 
 the ''prineiple" is that this enlightened town shall meekly bow down to the pre- posterous and impudent mandates of @ few men who by reason of skill or gall or bluf have become "lsbor leaders," and who would like to get power enough to be able to lead labor without doing hard and hon. est work themselves.
 Will 1t pay New Haven to have this "principle" established here4 Most cer- tainly not. Therefore let those who are interested in preserving their own rights and the equal rights of all take pains to go to the meeting Friday afternoon and vote. The "principle" which will come up for consideration at that meeting ought to be knocked into cccked hat 80 quickly and effectually that 1t won't figure as "prin- ciple' any more around here.

M. sardouss Industry. From the Westminster Gazette. 1


 We all know the historical remark con- corning the "stupendous industry" of one William Shakespeare. The London Daily News ststes that N. Victorien SArdou has on hand the plot and bare outline of about two hundred and fifty pieces that are still waiting to be written. Fifty have already received titles. The plots are all method ioally arranged In leather cases and care fully docketed and indexed. Most of them, he admits, he will never live to write, for life would not be long enough, Whenever he gets an idea hs jots 1t down and amplifesft at his leisure. Sometimes 1t is story, or perhaps mere passing re mark that he hears In conversation; some times 1t Is newspaper report that Is tn

CathoIIcIty in MusIcaI Taste.

Iowen Mister in the Atlantic M0nthIyl
 Now, to Beethoven art must indeed be life, and the scripture rule about two mas- ters cannot apply too solemnly; be is the august inhabitsnt of his lonely world. But for his audience, ourselves, what pre- sumption to pretend or assume that srt ts our life; being at best nothing bu. appre- cistors, to pose ss creators! We step sside from business, sport, society, fsmily-the regions where We really live-to listen for 6 parentheticsl hour to music, and then complacently announce not 6 preference, but creed. "There Ia no god but wsg- nsr, and am his prophet!" Rldicule Is a swift and searching Nemesis. Why the citizens, male and female, gre not found out when they lay this humbug 90 bare to their neighbors would pass comprehen- sion; only the nsighbors are 60 busy eE- claiming, "There Is no god bat Schu- mann" or somebody else, that they lack the leisure to take notice. It does not seem to occur to the evaDgelists of poly phony or monody, or of Verdi against Wagner, that Shakespeare and Homer, Goethe and Aoliere, are not mutually ex- elusive tastes; that the lovers of music,
 
 drama, the novel, the lyric; yet their mu- sical attitude is akin to the position that We cannot like Wsverlsy because we sd- mire Paradise Lost. For, you sse, one Is in blank verse, but the other is in prose, and breaks all the laws of iambic penta- meter.
 Thus is the spirit lost in the letter. Yet its cstholicity exists in literary taste, why should 1t not in musici Is 1t not 8 pity sAaA -E ,-L poetry and prose, tragedy and comedy, sonnet by Wordsworth and a story by Mark Twain, should not have an equlTA- lently broad musical appreciation, and add just So much more enjoyment to their Hyesi If 1 believe that the ''Gottsrdsm- merung" is the sublimest height tragic op- era has attained, I can still be hsppy on another night with Era Dlsyolo" or "Ls Sonnambuls;" and Haydn delights me in spite of my admiration for Brahms. Bu. so many go to the concert hall to gather | figs of thistlesl
 The reason for all this is the fact that, to most listeners who would be thought music-lovers, music is really alien, and they do not meet 1t as they meet literature. They know that a drama or a poem ex- presses human things. but they do not know that 6 symphony does, too. Music is 6 phenomenon to them, the fourth d. mension of space. The man who has 6 real affinity for 1t; to whom 1t Is not an exotic, or a rare, strange object, to be ap- prosched with respect because fashion says so, but is @ mother tongue, & matter ot course, received aud understood, or not understood, just as he understands a re- mark, or requests the remark to be re- psated that he may take 1t in-such 6 man strikes no attitudes about this or that composer or kind of competition Heavy or light, symphony or opera, Italian, French, German or English, he stands ready to enjoy anything that comes, If it be good of Its kind. That Is ell he de- mands.

FASHION NOTES,
Elaborate Collar Adornment.


 Very stunning shoulder collars are made accessory to fall and winter gowns. These are six pointed and fssten on the shoul- ders. They are lined stifiy and are with out folds or wrinkles even. Attached to them Is the very high choker collar which laps away around and fastens directly in the back. A more uncomfortable yoke for woman to put herself into cannot be we'll imagined, but what of that, 1t Is very becoming, and even the short necked wo- man can wear 1t because the smooth slope from neck to over the shoulders seems to add length to the neck. The long necked woman can wear 1t for the reason that she can wear almost anything. A pretty shoulder collar to be worn with e chAngea- ble rep gown showing yellow and green in Its coloring, Is of green veyet lined with dull yellow and finished all about the edges with tiny frill of yellow.

ALLRE sAmKK uELICAN MAI

ALLRE SAMEE mELICAN MAN.
 The difference between sanity and in sanity is sometimes not very clear, and people are so queer that 1t is e popular theory that few If any are entirely sane. Most people, however, manage to get through their pilgrimage without being imprisoned for insanity, though nobody who amounts to anything escapes being called lunatio by those who think they are saner than he is.- But an official move has just been made In Portland, Oregon, which demands attention from almost all the men and not a few of the women. An Foo, Chinaman of that city, has just b.en committed to 6 lunatic asylum be- cause he imagines that all the women of the city are in love with him.
 Probably a mistake has been made In this case. There is no doubt that the Chinaman is An Fool, but it Is very doubt ful that he is An lunatic who ought to be shut up. We venture to assert that he doesn't differ In his ideas about his own
 value and sstrsctiveness to women from
 nine tenths of the male inhabitants of
 Portland. And he doesn't differ in telling
 his qualifications and powers as a
 s'masher" from 8 good many of the men
 of Portland. The trouble Is that 1t
 seems incongruous for a man who
 wears his shirt outside his trousers,
 whose eyes slant, whose hair Is done up
 like little girl'e, and whose talk sounds
 like 8 combination of hen-cacklipg and
 pig squealing, to look upon himself as
 being entitled to the admiration and love
 of the beautiful women of Portland. He doesn't realize that, but that doesn't make him @ lunatic any more than Portland dudes notion that all the women are ssstuck" on him makes him a lunatic. We have known deacons of the church, minis- ters of the gospel, lawyers, doctors and judges to have such an idea, but they were not imprisoned for it. Itmight have made them some trouble, but it didn't cost them their liberty.
 We hope An Foo's case will bs reyie wed by tribunal that will understand 1t. A yellow man can imagine himself cock of the walk as we'll as e white man. It may also be that this Chinamsn has received | more encouragement in his notion than | those who decided that he is lunatic
 know about. He may have reason to ! think that he is irresistible. Anyway, he

This great purchase was made possible by the merchants out west, who had placed large orders last spring for fall trade, but owing to poor business, scarcity of money and the general de- pression, cancelled all their orders after the goods had been landed in this country and duty paid.
