MORE THAN A SIMPLE DRUNK.
A Crazy Inebriate Gave officer Flynn Con
siderable Trouble-Extraordina Mum
Der of Tramps.


yesterday afternoon carriage drove
across the city from Commercial street to
the city building and one of the two men
attracted some attention by his repeated
shouts and calls for help. He would ex-
postulate with the other man and tell him
he'd draw on him, ii he didn't let him out
of the carriage. But the other man said
never word, but held his companions arm
and kept on driving.
Officer Flynn of Cape Elizabeth. found
this crazy drunken man near the rolling
mills, shouting and making a disturbance.
lie ordered him to make himself scarce. But
that enraged the man and he attacked the
ofhcer, who got the better of him after a
sharp struggle and made him ''come along. :"
The man went along all right for about 200
rods. and then jumped for Flynn and seized
him round the body. He gripped SO hard
that for an instant itswas nip and tuck, but
finally the officer downed his man and
quieted him. Then he obtained carriage
and brought him to Portland. Flynn was of
the opinion that the man was on the verge
of the Jim-jams. When man is merry one
minute, weeping the next and angry the
next, and when he rushes into the street
and squeezes it's filth in his hand, it is more
than simple drunk. He knew of another
man who, when the tremens were coming
on him, would stand on the sidewalk. with
staring eyes and then rush into the street
and grasp its filth in his hands and squeeze
it.
Mr.. Flynn says that the tramps have been
coming down the Boston and Maine tracks
from the West IN droves lately. Last week
at least ten of the tramping fraternity
asked for food at his house in one day, and
on the same day at least fifty tramps, in
groups of three and four passed Rigby park
on the track. They must be in or around
Portland, and poole would do well to re-
member that fact

STEAMER ON THE sTRoUDWATER.
The eve Two" Was Launched There Last
saturday--The Canoes Will be Nowhere.

There is to be steamboat on the Stroud
water river for the first time in it's history.
In fact the boat is there now. 1t isn't very
large. 1t is only the steam launch, the ''We
Two" which was hauled across from....the
salt bay into the mill pond Saturday after
noon.
The river is, no doubt, large and deep
enough for the launch, for the first two
miles or so but then the stream curves and
twists so that nothing but canoe can get
around comfortably.
But that is not all. There is the ''stringer,' 81
the great log that stretches across the sur
face of the water, and serves as a bridge fol
the farmers who own the land. The canoists
have always lifted their light craft over the
stringer but if the I'VE Two desires to &c
beyond it. the stringer must go.
Of course it has no legal right to obstruct
the stream, but its removal would be OBJ
jectionable to those who put it there.

Not one man in the whole list made
over 800 during January, and many
of them are of considerable education
and experts in their work.
Despite their almost desperate con-
dition, hardly word of denunciation
of employers and the rich is heard.
There are no strikes, no meetings OF
unemployed, no agitators and no labor
organization. This change in re.
gion, once the very centre of such
discomfort, is most remarkable and is
accounted for in two ways. The
operators say the men are more intel
ligent and read the newspapers. The
men say: "We have had enough ex-
perience with such things" There
fore, in this present stringency, there
is no complaint, because the men
recognize as we'll as the operators the
causes, which are very different from
those which effect other business.
The total product of the anthracite
mines for 1898 was 43, 900, 900 tons, of
which Wyoming Valley put out %,
000,00 tons. At the end of the year,
when the entire product should have

has crown, embroidered in steel and
black pearls, and is trimmed with
shaded pink roses, and at the back is
a pink velvet bow. Monster bows, by
the way, intrude themselves upon all
our clothes, and they may be well
coined as becoming, but they must not
be allowed to overstep, in their size,
the point of sweet reasonableness.
A large picture hat, fit to adorn the
face of beauty, is made in black, with
masses of most realistic pink roses
clustering on the crown, and few
black feathers waving gracefully at
the back. Pink roses also adorn q
large hat made of jet spangled net,i
which is mounted on Marie Stuart
shape, and sets most admirably upon
the hair. A toque of red velvet is en-
broidered in jet sequins, and most

old lofty figures and make greater
profit. This causes most decided
disinclination on the part of the opera
tore to mine much coal. Not until
lake shipments to the Northwest COM
mence, about July 1, will there be an
improvement in the anthracite re-
gions. As the weather continues to
get warmer there will be less work
than at present, and the miner will
have to exist in some way on nothing.
The mining companies are doing as
much as possible to alleviate the dis
tress. Effort is made to give all the
men little work each week. Mines
are worked when it would be more
profitable to shut down. ALI kinds of
necessary improvements are put under
way. New shafts are sunk, tunnels

noticeable traits IN the miners. Credit
is given by merchants for the asking.
The Welsh, who 'predominate, possess
these characteristics to marked de-
gree, and their influence has pervaded
the whole region. With such class
of men the suffering of poverty seems
more acute. They starve with the
submission to philosophers.
This new order of things has three
most remarkable results-the decline
of lawlessness, the extinction of labor
organizations and the exodus Of Huns,
Firms, Polanders and Bohemians. The
Mollie McGuires, once the terror of
the mining regions, are no longer
known. The reign of murder and as
sassination has completely ended.
Crimes are few and life is safe any
where along the lonely mountain roads.
Only few years ago it was an almost
uncommon occurrence to find super
intendent or disliked boss lying dead
in the road, and mysterious disappear
ances were frequently reported. The
radical change to the present quiet
and orderly state is most astonishing
one to those who knew the mining re-
gions in their former days of lawless-
ness.
A strange exodus from the anthracite
mining regions, especially the Wyom-
ing Valley, is the emigration OF Huns,
Polanders, Bohemians, Slsvs and Firms.
They formerly swarmed into the mines
and were employed in large numbers
by the operators for very low wages.
They were put in places of experienced
men, but were soon found to be a most
costly experiment. By ignorance and
carelessness they caused many acci-
dents that proved expensive to the
operators. The old workmen allied
against them, the companies found it
more profitable without them and sud-
denly the tide of immigration ceased
and an exodus commenced. The
foreigners moved in large numbers to
Western Pennsylvania to work inmills
and soft coal mines. Those who re-
NAMED in the anthracite regions are
employed for the cheaper class OF
labor, and form now but a small por-
ton of the mineworkers.
Many improvements have been made
in mining methods. Strict laws gov
erning ventilation and safety appli-
snces are in force, but there still re-
mains one great permissible crime.
robbing pillars. It is question OF
engineering Judgment in which science
is often overpowered by corporation
greed. Weak mines are numerous In
the valley, and the most dangerous of
all are the abandoned workings that
have been robbed of every pound they
would stand. When they cave, death
and destruction are spread to the work
ing veins. This was the case in the
Gaylord mine, at Plymouth. Years OF
natural chipping and wearing away OF
pillars left barely strong enough to
hold up the roof finally caused this to
collapse and nearly ruined the whole
mine, costing thirteen lives.

The Curious Naked.Necked Fowl.

This breed originated in TransYl-
yania, and is best known in Germany,
where they are kept chiefly as curios-
tiles. Some of the fowls have been
taken to England, but they are un-
known in this country. Although es-
teemed principally for their odd ap-
pearance, it is claimed that they are
really valuable table fowl. They are
small eaters and good layers of fair
sized dark eggs. The flesh is said to
be tender and of delicate favor. The
fowl has q very striking appearance,
the neck being red, smooth and per-
fectly bare, with a heavily feathered
spot on top Of the crop. The hensare
