AN ARMY OF TRAMPs
Moving I'm This Direction From the
South, Says One Man.

Yesterday afternoon raid was made
on party of strangers in a saloon on
Maryland avenue and nine men were ar
rested. 1t was suspected that the burglar
who has been committing acts of vandalism
was stopping in South Washington, and II
was thought that perhaps the man might
be in the crowd. In this however, the
officers were mistaken. for while several
or the nine men are undoubtedly tramps
several of them We're here looking for work.
while one member of the party arrested
had only stopped in the saloon to get a
glass of beer. He belongs on one of the
river boats, but he was locked up with the
others and had to go to court this morn
ing and stand trial on a charge of
vagrancy.
Detective Lacey was a witness In the
case. He stood in the corridor of the fourth
precinct cell room last night and heard
the statements of the men.
This morning in court Detective Lacey
ments.
An Army Coming.
There are 1.50e tramps on the road here

Thomas Murray was the name Of the
man who had impaired the startling in
formation TO the detective, but he confessed
that he had never been farther south than
Harrisonburg, Va.
The man who belonged on the boat was
set free and the court gave the others fif-
teen days each, advising them to leave the
city when they got out.

Millions Of Young Men Who Pre-.
fer Single Life.
Although There Are Plenty of wives to
Be Had the Selfish Creatures Cling
to the joys of Bach
elorhoad.

It Is estimated that there are three
million young men Of manageable age
in the United States who obstinately
neglect TO provide themselves with
wives, and this implies the existence OF
at least an equal number of young
women of manageable age who are
waiting for proposals that never come
The fact is important, says the St
Louis Globe-Democrat, as indicating
one of the social tendencies of the
period. II cannot be doubted that the
popularity of matrimony has material
" declined in recent years and that a
kind of general hesitancy seems TO pre-
vail respecting the negotiations OF such
alliance There was time when the
young people of the country FASTENED
to pair themselves with birdike eager
ness and delight as soon as they were
out Of school, and society not only en-
couraged them but practically com
handed them to take that course.
They were considered superHuous and
burdensome until they got married.
The true work of lie could not begin
with them, they were taught, so long
as they remained single; 1t was their
duty 70 become yoked without IN

to miss reasonable opportunities IN
that relation. But it is decidedly diff

once sgain was exemplifed the old
proverb that Man proposes and God
disnoses." Garfeld's lzneQ had sounded,
and Blaine was a private citizen when
its doors opened to receive them
One memorable event in the family
occurred during the social season that
the Blaines resided in their palatial
home. The eldest daughter of the
house. Alice Stanwood Blaine, was mar
ried TO Col John f. COppinger, Of the
United States army.
Col Coppinger was disciple of the
church of Rome, and in Difference to
his religious faith an altar was erected
in the drawing-room, and the marriage
was solemnized according TO the rites
Of the Roman Catholic church.
Washington's elect assembled TO do
honor 20 the occasion. President
Arthur was the star guest, and after
her parents was the first to salute the
bride. Whatever their political differ
ences, the chief magistrate and the de-
posed secretary OF state seemed socially
to be en- rapport
The Dupont circle home proved some
thing Of a disappointment apparently,
for shortly after Mrs CoPpingcr's mar

1t would seem that Dupont circle still
had charms for the family, however,
for they selected as their next residence
a house owned by Secretary Window,
located within few doors of their own
deserted home. 1t was here that the

place in the city. 1t was within easy
distance of the white house and the de-
partment of state Its old-fashiOned
architecture recalling the old colonial
mansions may have weighed in its favor,
too. and the fact that it was admirably
situated TO catch every sunbeam, pos
sibly decided its purchase.
Superstitious people gravely shook
their heads when 1t became known that
tho Blaines had purchased the place
Since the assassination of Mr.. Seward
there they asserted the house had had
an evil name, and taere were those who
deemed it almost tempting Providence
to cross the threshold. 1t had fallen
into state of absolute dilapidation
from want Of care, for it had been with
out an occupant for long time
Nothing daunted by the lugubrious
tales the Blaines put an army OF work
men into the old house, and It was speed

ruin to an abode OF elegance and com

toned furniture, in harmony with the
colonial features, was brought from the
home in Augusta, Me. Rare paintings,
souvenirs OF the late visit to Europe,
were hung. Other decorations that had
adorned their numerous Washington
homes also found place, and when the
last touch was given it would have been
difficult to End more attractive home

The place had known many changes

THE CARE OF GUNS.
Seme Valuable Pointers About an In
porrant Matter.


1t often has been remarked that the
cost, and TO many the difficulty Of OBJ
tanning a fine gun, would insure good
care; that no one feels rich enough TO
afford the ruin of a fine Calt's or Parker,
and that over care and cleaning Is more
apt TO be the other extreme, and many
fine guns are worn more from cleaning
and handling than from actual use. On
this point correspondent of the Shoot
ing Times says: "A recent stroll
through the gun stores Of Boston,
Mass, convinced me that many fine
guns are spoiled annually. Anyone who
will look over the secondhand stock OF
almost any store will find what I refer
to. It Is always with kind Of sympa-
thy that look at fine pair OF Damas-
Gus barrels pitted and rusted IN the in
side.
Outside blemishes, or even rust
spots, may be passed by and regarded
only as the merks which DO honor 10
the battle-scarred veteran. They tell
the tale Of many journey over hill and
dale, and the many pleasant days that
have been enjoyed by its owner. Those
ugly scars are but veteran stripes upon
the stock and are DO disgrace to its
owner if the inside is bright and
smooth. But, with a sportsman there
seems to be kind of uneasiness in use
ing a new gun unless it has few dents
and batters 20 'scrape the new Off Bat
let d dent, scratch or spot, however
small, be found on the inside of tho gun
or rifle, pistol or revolver, and it is
quite different matter.
81 have in mind a lover of shooting,
one who has had experience In the far
west az well as In the east, He recent
" remarked that he had all the outside
finish he cared for, and shat hereafter
fine engraving, varnish, etc, would
have no charms, but the stocks should
be of such serv1ceable material and
workmanship that he could paddle
canoe with it and not wet the locks
This was overdrewn, OF course, but II
lnstrates the fact that fine finish is not
practical on guns that are to be pat into
service In the feld, although they may
be used and kept in good condition,
with care, at the range or trap.
1T is said by dealers that the inex-
periencea are the ones who let their
guns rust inside and who desire the
most finish outside. One of the best
known ritiemen In this country has re-
Gently concluded to drop all super6uous
appendaGes on his rifle and use a plain
stock, which, to the writer's mind, is a
very sensible conclusion. A bruiSe or
dent in a plain, oil-hnished stock does
not show, or contrast as it does on 4
highly vanished and polished one.
Dents or bruises are by no means orna-
mental or desirable, but somehow In
actual field use the arms get them; so
the plain stock looks better, and is
thought to be more satisfactory IN the
end. But when the inside of the bar
rels and locks are considered, fine finish
should be given them. and great care
should be taken to preserve it

cence, as prosperity beamed upon the
rising and successful statesman.
1t was in 1858 that Mr.. Blaine first
took his seat as a representative in cop
gress, and his first home was IN q board
ing house In Ninth street, between E
and f streets.
1t was known as the Garrett house,

power has led them to look lees favor
ably upon the connubial condition of
subordinating their heerts 10 their
heads, so TO speak. And finally it can
not but be that the abundance of eriti-
cism 70 which the marriage system has
been subjected by writers of pro
nounced vigor and skill has served to
weaken it in the popular estimation
and to disparage the quality OF sacred
ness that is its highest claim to respect
and honor.
There is no reason as yet, however,
to lament the prevailing tendency as a
national misfortune. The amount Of
marrying Is still large enough for AL
ordinary purposes, and It may be that
less rather than more of it would best
promote the interests of society. Such
unions should be formed with some
other object than that OF merely propa-
eating the species. They involve the
most serious obligations and response
