AN OLD MINER TALKS.

He Goes More on Practice Than ON
Thsory.
Vanderbilt Shaft: Mr.. A. Smith of
Denver, who has had 80 years experi-
ence in mines, is in Vanderbilt. He
will have charge Of the erection of the
new stamp mill at the Gold Bronze.
A representative of the Shaft had q
little chat with Mr.. Smith on Tuesday
morning, and of course the conversation
drifted to the question of whether or
not the veins of ore in Vanderbilt would
co down. Mr.. Smith evidently has
little patience with theorists, for he
said:
Theories don't amount to anything.
One man will say, Give me my veins OF
ore in granite and another will say, i
don't want any formation but slate for
mine.' Now the trouble with these
id fools is that they never saw any
thing but slate or granite"
The scribe suggested that he would
like to have Mr. Smiths opinion az to
whether the veins would go down.
81 don't know anything about it,
said Mr.. Smith. 'All | know is that
they have gone down hundred feet
now and are better than ever. Now,
what proof do the theorists furnish that
the veins won't 20 down, that is strong
enough to Offset the fact that there are
shafts over hundred feet deep in good
ore now?
"They don't know anything about it.
There is no one can tell what lies o foot
below him."
The scribe looked at him in awe and
revarance. and wished that there were
more miners like him in the country.

Gosh that isn't oyster coup, is it :?

writer, in an endeavor to become more
social.
Say, git onto de greenie," said a
squint-eyed, hairy-faced tramp to tall.
lank colored boy, who stood against the
wall. The writer's mien was not in ac-
cord with that of the average tramp
and WAS source of fun for all of them.
Finally the next crowd, among which
was the writer, sat down before plain
soup and bread. The fluid they pleased
to called coup was made OF water, po-
tatoes, cabbages and broken bread.
When the soup ran low more water
was added, and thus all were fed. The
coarseness of the bread would be reme-
died by the. tramps dipping it into the
soup.
The ''guests' of 'Kelly's Soup
House," as it is popularity known
among the fraternity, were all quiet at
table. None OF the 2E0 men offered to

AS soon as the tickets were distributed
250 men lined up along the sidewalk
preparatory to entering the dining"
room. As the ticket was suggestive OF
real meal the writer anticipated come
thing at least up to the average. He
scanned the ticket closely, showing that
he was indeed new to the life. All sorts
of fun was poked at him when Shorty
informed some OF. the old-timere that a
"greenie" was amongst them.
Presently the door was opened. The
crowd filed in. Steaming bowls of soup
and coarse thick bread were placed along
the tables. About half OF the unfort-
unate tramps sat down, the others re-
manning standing until room was made
for them.

ADR|FT WITH THE TRAMPS,
A Herald" Reporters Visit to
the Slums.
The Redeeming Features of "Kelly's
Soup House,"
How the Men Live Who Never Work.
0Bjg Mike" and "shorty" Tell
Their Woes-A Beg
gsr's Ways.

"One-half the world knows not how
the other half lives" A truer senti-
ment was never expressed. 1t wac
brought forcibly to the mind OF the
writer on the dying night of the old
year.
The writer was passing down Spring
street. A chilly, drizzling rain was fall
ing. There stepped out from doorway
q boy scarcely in his teens, who pite-
ously begged dime.
He was barefoot. AS he stood shiver'
ing ON the cold, wet stone, humbly ask
ing a mite to assuage hunger, his boy
ish face looked grimy, drawn and thin:
s'It is only q case of thousand" "
thought the writer, yet this was one
that touched the heart as 1t had never
been touched before. A quarter dropped
into the skinny, dirty hands caused the
little outcast to scamper away.
He sped around the corner and down
First street. He soon entered q small.
dingy restaurant and called for cup oi
coffee and bad doughnuts. These cost
him dime.
With an expression of temporary con-
tentment, the homeless little wander er
went to 15-cent lodging house near by
and was soon wrapped in slumber.
The incident caused the writer to re-

for breakfast-soup and bread-by 7
o'clock. A tub at the back door served
as basin wherein the tramps bathed
their faces. After eating came shaving.
A long row of boxes against the
fence served as barber chaire. Some
ludicrous scenes were Witnessed in this
back yard.
LIFE OF TRAMP.
The result of the HERALD reporters
round with Shorty may be summed up
as follows:
The life OF a tramp is made mp OF
fragments. He is an outcast to such an
extent that his social condition brands
him as the lowest of mankind. The ale
be drinks is stale and unfit for use.
Like rejected bread. others will not buy
it, so it lie sold at a price within
reach OF the tramp. The bread remain
ing from the meals served at the best
hotels goes to the poorer hotels and res
taurants, thence to the tables d'hote.
Alter it has been refused for q third
time it goes to the tramp or garbage
ground. The ordinary tramp has the
same downward course, and eventually
finds a resting place in the city's garb-
age ground for paupers
The tramp is born, not made. There
are only two things that frighten him
the bulldog and the bucksaw. The
California specimen of this element of
mankind, owing to the genial climate
and perennial sunshine, ia an independ-
ent, happy, robustious animal, seldom
willing to work. Yet there are many
honest hearts among them.
There is no doubt certain fascination
about the life OF the tramp. He sees
the side of lie that no other class sees
yet, if the writer were to give advice to
the tramp, it would be sign placed
prominently before him. 1t would read
THE ROAD TO RUIN.

changed between the trio, the writer. of
course, being the more reserved, when
Big Mike suggested that all hands ad-
journ to Kelly's, as it was about "soup
time"
The information was vaguely received
by the writer. as Kelly'H was "a new
one on him." Then how could it be
''soup time" at O'Clock in the after
noon?
However, the party OF tramps moved
out and down First street toward the
viaduct, the writer being ignorant Of his
destination.
The herald., 1894-01-14

Along the street the trio was joined
by tramps Of all conditions, ali bent on
going to the same place. Old and
stopped men, beardless youths, some Of
them "hobos" of the worst type, joined
the crowd. Some of them had not
worked for q year-partly from choice
and partly from inability to secure
work.
KELLY's FAITH HOME.
In front of No. 949 East First street
the crowd paused. Big Mike ex-
claimed:
" DIS is IT."
The Faith Home is two-story house,
well lighted by windows and compare
lively warm. 1t was built for store
rooms. In the large room on the Gen.
ter street side daily religious services
are held by the Holiness sect. In the
windows hang signs bearing the words.

The next room is the lodging room.
1t is the most interesting of ALTO the
visitor. There is not bed in it. Bun
dies OF blankets and quilts lay tied up
in the corners. Only low cots we're vie
ible. A tired tramp lay huddled up
against the wall as eep.
The second story has 24 rooms, all Of
which are used by the Holiness people.
The home is under the SUPPLEMENTARY
Of W. M. Kelly. There are SO other
workers. The crowd of tramps filed
into the room where meetings are held.
1t was jammed by all sorts, conditions
and classes of homeless men. Some had
good, honest-looking faces some The
face of criminal. Rags were seen on
many of the unfoFtunstes.
Preaching had just been concluded.
A young man, one of the religious work
ers, passed tickets to the tramps admit
ting them to the room adjoining to eat.
The ticket bore the inscription:

THE DANBURY SITUATION.

There Was a Great Commotion-The
Twelve Hat Factory whistles Blew
in Vain-But Not D1scouraged-The
whistles VIII be Blown Each Morn
ing.
DANBURY, Jan. 25.-There was q great
commotion In the city when at z o'clock
this morning the whistles of the hat facto-
ries that have been closed for nine weeks
on account of the labor troubles began to
sound. The whistles continued for fully
Eve minutes. No one knew that the fac.
tories intended to start up. and the move
was complete surprise to the four thou
sand locked-out union hsttsrs as we'll as to
the public. The twelve manufacturers
who had announced that they would under
no circumstances reopen their factories ex-
cspt Independently were the ones who at
tempted to start up their shops this morn
ing. At noon to day picksts of the hAtters
that we're placed on duty at the factories
had reported to the hatters' executive COM
mittee that less than fftJ people had gone
to work, and the leaders say that all have
returned that will return. The manufactur.
ers say that they will continue to blow
their whistles each morning and at noon
till enough of their old help returns to en-
able them to run their factories. They
think it will be but . few days before this
will be possible, as they expect that appH-
cations for work win be made right along
by members of the unions who are 10 des-
titute circumstances and anxious to 90 to
work. Some of the manufacturers say
that their entire old force are holding Sc
oret meetings and preparing to 60 back to
work in q body. The trade leaders on the
other hand say that they are confident that
the union people will stick together,
and scout the idea that any shops'
crews will withdraw from the union and
go to work In Independent shops. Mem
bers of the trimmers union held another
meeting last night to consider their action
of Tuesday night, when they refused to
grant concessions required by the Elk man
ufscturers who are willing to open AZ union
shops If they can obtain certain privileges.
The meeting adhered to Its former action.
Another meeting of trimmers IL called for
tonight at which 1t 10 said an attempt will
be made to grant the concessions.
WILL PUBLISH THE HANHs.
DAnRuRY, Jan. 25,-The COMMITTEES of
the locked-out matters will have the names
of all dessrters from the union who 20 to
work in the independent hat shops pub
lished In the local papers over their sigma
ture. The committee published An article
in the local papers In which some biting
sarcasm was expressed against those mem
bers of the union Who expected to work In
independent shops. A vacant space will
be reserved In the papers to publish the !.
names Of those who desert the union.
