THE TRAMP PROBLEM.
1t Is Proposed to Make Each of Them
Work a Month on the Pub
lie Roads.

llC hOduS.
A Texas writer treating on the
tramp question, which has undoubt-
edly become a standing menance to
society, public peace and general
prosperity throughout the land,
has this to say through the col
umns of the Dallas News;
The tramp question mnst be set
tied or this country will never have
peace any more. Hard times have
thrown hundreds and thousands of
men out of employment, and they
loaf around the towns out of work,
half starving, and are, as a rule, the
most undesirable men on earth.
Many of these are good men, but
hard times have struck them so
squarely in the face that they have
been driven down to the lowest de-
gree of human occupation-to
tramp and to beg. Under the
present system where will it end if
things continue as they are. Many
will be driven SO low as to lose all
self respect 1t is true that some
of these tramps are naturally so
low that to reform them would al
most be beyond question, but |
think there is a remedy, and one
that should be applied speedily.
What men can not individually do
for themselves, the government
should do for them-the people
generally or the government. All
men should feel kind interest for
the good of their fellow brethren.
Now, think that most men will
agree with me that something
should be done to relieve the dis
tress of our country. To be sue
cessful, all people should unite in
one general efIord This can only
be done through the government.
Let the government generally take
the tramp question in hand. AS
the News suggests, the roads need
work, This work can be made ben
efcial to all people, AS said above,
let the government take the ques-
tion in hand. Let every tramp
found without means of support be
condemned by the law and made to
work on the public roads for one
month. Let the government pay
each tramp small wages for his
time, and compel him to work. At
the end of the month pay the tramp
and send him out free again to seek
his own employment. The small
wages will enable him to subsist for
awhile until he can find work
This question might seem hard at
first to some, but by this means the
tramp can be trained to usefulness
to himself and the government, and
will cease TO be a source of annoy
ance to the people. AS he is now,
he is without any training. He is
not inclined much to reform, espec-
tally when times are SO hard and
work not easy to find. The farmers
will not have them on the farm only
in times when they are pushed for
help. The towns cannot use them;
50 let the government take them
and work them and train them to
some usefulness, and in five years
the tramps themselves will thank
the people and the government for
saving them poverty and ruin gem

RhD EOR ROSSEN.

Boss FurEueson Is In trouble. Gov.
Flower saved his political sinecure office
OF Shore Inspector for him. but the
Legislature, by cutting off the appro-
prIatlon OF twenty-eight thousand dollars
for the support OF the Office. makes the
Executive favor a barren one.
Boss FurGueson may continue to call
himself shore Inspector and to make a
boast Of ha influence and his patronage
for political purposes. but he will have
no money to distribute among his tools
unless he uses his own. The state will
no longer pay the expenses of his sa-
trapy, and he will have to fall back on
his gas-lamps and other local p!ckings,
What with legislatures and ballot
boxes and grand iurIeS and criminal
courts and State prisons and peniten-
tiGries, these are hard times for bosses.
lut Boss Furgueson should remember
Boss McKAne and feel grateful for the
smallest tavors.

American editors when they refer to Great Britain

istcnce OF Scotchmen and welshmen. and that
there are seven different languages spoken by
native Britshers. The greatest men Of Great
Britain to-day Scotchmen and Wclshmen. and
II is very Insulting to refer TO them as English
men. II you want to insult a Scotchman or n
Welshmnn It is impossible for you to do 40 with
more effect than by calling them Engllshmen.
There is a distinguished Welsh singer touring
this country Just now. I refer TO Ben Davies. the

PRIMA DoNNAs on THE STUMP.

Foreigners who come here to get pos
session Of our glittering good dollars are
becoming better acquainted with us.
They are getting on to- the little
weaknesses OF our great American ma
ture They know how to jolly us now
better than they did awhile ago. Only
In the past few years have they learned
to do this, for 1t was formerly their Gus
tom to rake In our shekels while they
did the toploftical and refused to be
en- rapport with us In any way. They
came among us with their heads in the
clouds. and had to duck their domes of
thought when saying good-by lest they
knock a few fixed stars off our firma-
mental chandelier as they swept by.
The whole world. II seems. under
stands that there is a wild and uncon-
querable desire on the part of the United
States people for a speech wherever
and whenever they can get one. Our
appetite for oratory right off the reel
Is due no doubt to the great number OF
good speakers we have in this country
and the prompttude with which so
many men respond when called upon for
few remarks. Speech! Speech! is
cry heard on every occasion. A new
pair of twins In the family. burglary
in the house or n leak In the water-pipe
is sufficient provocation for an out
burst of eloquence. After awhile 1t
may be that when a man is run over
by cable car his friends will prop
him up after the accident and demand a
speech.
Abbey and Grau's operate artists,
recognizing the satisfaction which
speech making gives the American pub
lie, all made speeches when they fare
welled last night. Even the prima
donnas spouted. They said pretty
things. of course. They pulled our very
elastic American leg. for they are all
coming back again next season. do you

To Get Thin.

''If you really want to get thin" said
a French physician to Chicago girl
the other day. and promise to follow
my directions to the letter. I'll give
you a prescription that will reduce your
flesh. and instead OF injuring will i'm
prove your general health" She
promised, and here Is the prescription,
which will commend itself to every
reasonable patient: Put on a flannel
suit. the weight and quantity of the
clothing to suit the season. but the
lighter the better. Have woollen stock
ings and low shoes. Go to Central Park
or any other place where the air Is
good and walk. Then so home and take
cold shower bath. The individual
must decide the length OF the exercise.
Do this every day. at any hour that is
convenient. Drink no more liquid> than
is necessary. This will eliminate all
soups. gravies. water. milk and Ices
from the menu. A small cup of tea or
coffee without cream or sugar, or q small
glass OF dry wine will suffice at meal.
Eat no fresh bread of any sort and
very little toast or bread crust. Po-
tatoes. rice. cereals and sweets are to
be avoided. With lean meats, green
vegetables. fresh fruits. nuts. wine. tea
and coffee. there need be no fear OF

STRIKING SUNDAY FEATUREs.

II was not so very many wears ago
that Mother Mandelbaum sat at the
head OF the organized bands OF criminals
who held New York and the neIghboring
States In terror. Those were the days
OF the great bank rohberies throughout
the country. and the gangs OF expert
crRckSmen made New York their head
quarters Such famous burglars as
" Red" Leary, "%hanG" Draper. " RIlr'
No8DurE, Jack Irving, "Billy" Porter
and Red" Kate, queen Of pckpockets
and shoplirters, nourIshed and frater-
nized and planned their Jobs" in the
metropolis. Organized crime has been
rooted out by the skilled hand Of Supt
Byrnes, then at the head OF the Police
detective Bureau, who mercilcssly pur-
sued these professional criminals. and
one after another sent them to State
prison.
At the very height OF their successful
operations certain notorious saloon in
West Twcnty-third street was the re-
sort and headquarters of the greatest
cracksmen and burglars OF the day. This
resort was owned in equal shares by the
notorious Red Leary. the bank bur
glar, aud a certain other man. Up over
this resort dwelt Red" Leary with
Red" Kate. the pickpocket. and this
other man and woman named Bella" "

Is Il not true that stable wherein
seventy-four horses were kept should
have been so built that last nights hor-
rible suffering and death OF the noble
animals by flre would have been next
to impossible? The evidence Is that the
square turn In the runway provided for
the horses caused that horror in West
Nineteenth street. The poor creatures
who would have led the rush out OF the
burning stable were wedged together In
that angle and then held the rest back.
Some time. perhaps, the rights Of horses.

cdents. Will be regarded in the con-

Surface or circumference, which?

To the Editor:
When John Cushing asks: ITO what altitude
should man be raised to see one-third Of the
earth" he should have stated the question
more explicitly. and said whether It was one
third Of the earth's circumference or onethird Of
its surface that was meant. To see one-third Of
the earths circumference requires an altitude OF
3.95e miles. and to see one-third OF Its sur
face requires altitude Of 1891 miles. These
are statute miles. and the equatorial diameter
