BUT FEW MARRIED TRAMPS
Interesting Facts in the Municipal
LOdgina-hOuse Report.
sUPT. DUNN AND HIS GUESTS
wedlock Urged as a Panacea for the
"Hobo" Nuisance-Statistics Showing
That Many of the Unfortunates Owe Their
Condition to the Love of Strong Drink

There is much food for thought in the
quarterly report OF Manager William H.
Dunn, OF the municipal lodging-house, No.
SlS Twelfth street northwest, which has just
been submitted to Superintendent Of Chari-
ties Tracy.
One of the most noticeable features eff the
report is the few married men who are
classed under the head OF cramps" and this
led Mr.. Dunn to remark that marriage sug-
gested itself as perhaps the greatest remedy
for the rapidly increasing tramp evil. Out OF
a total OF $50 wayfarers provided with lodg-
ings, &c, during the months OF July, August,
and September, $50 were single men and only
80 married.
The average cost per meal was trife over
cents, the meal consisting OF large bowl of
beef stew, bowl OF coffee, and half loaf Of
bread. An instance is related where hun
CRY tramp ate at one sitting four loaves OF
bread, three bowls OF stew, and three bowls
OF coffee.
The expenses of the establishment during
the quarter were: Provisions, Sl01.10; sup
plies, SS2.S2; permanent Improvements, $780,
officers salaries, $3.50.
There were 2040 meals worked for and
1.005 furnished free to help. The actual
free meals to sick persons and those un-
able to work were 2S. Lodgings worked
for, l,l95; lodgings fer help, 35l. Total meals
and lodgings, 4,sl7.
The persons cared for were classed as fol-
lows: Residents OF the District, 81; non-resi-
dents, t6l; refused to work. Z: secured employ
msRt for T.
An interesting study is furnished by the
table OF Ratienalities. OF the 95s men given
as American born, 216 stated that their con-
dition was duo to lack Of work; dissipation
was given as the cause by 46; sickness and
other causes by g, while 81 confessed that
they were professional tramps. OF the 81
colorsd men. 81 wero out OF work, l was
dissipated, and % were tramps.
England furnished 81 dodgers, II of whom
were suffering for want of work Is were dis
sipated, tramps. and 5 immigrants. Ire
land furnished total Of A men. OF these
81 wera out Of work, l6 were drunkards, and
S tramps. Germanys contingent numbered
"a. Only 3 of these Acknowledged that they
were tramps, but stated that strong drink
was the CAUSE Of their downfall. Scotland
furnished the largest percentage of drunk
ards. Out OF total of IS Scotchmen IL did
not deny that whisky had caused their Poy-
erty. Only / of them, however, acknowl-
edged TO being tramp. France furnished
tramp and drunkards out OF total Of Z
men.
The nationalities that follow did not con-
tribute a single drunkard or tramp: Switzer-
land, 6 lodgers; Norway, B. Denmark, /;
Belgium, 2; Australia, /; Russia, L; Italy, /,
end Holland. l.
During the month of October alone 1902
lodgings were furnished.
The lodging-house library has been added
to by generous givers, but there is still plenty
OF room on the shelves for more books.

About 100 employees in the printing division
of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing are
working two hours overtime in order to meet
the demand Tor postage stamp0, which is at
present somewhat ahead of the capacity OF
the Bureau.
Beginning Monday night relay night force
was put in which works from o'clock in the
evening until : O'Clock in the morning. This
arrangement is Rsceasitated by the lack Of
sufficient machinery TO DO the extra work in
day time. and is only temporary.
Complaint has been made TO TIE TIMES
that girls in the bincery are compelled to
work from O'Clock in the morning until y
o'clock at nignt. 10 the great injury OF their
health. Inquiry at the Bureau shows this
complaint not 10 be founded on fact The
girls work but TWO hours overtime, according
to the statements Of Mr.. Claude NJ. Johnson,
chief Of the Bureau, and any who feel unable
to do this extra work are excused.
The overtime is from to o'clock in the
afternoon. As all the employees receive extra
pay for overtime. most Of them are willing to
work the extra two heurs, and very few COM
plants have been heard. None OF the day

The Istsnstion given by the CivA Service
Commission in announcing the recent sxten-
sions in the civil service by the President that
further extensions were TO be made at an
early date, has been discussed in the depart
menE and among officials who know, and it
is SAID the next extension viii include chiefs
Of divisions in the various departments, which
would be very important move.
The salaries paid to these officials are 81 600
each. They have always been held as politi-
cal plums for the smaller politicians who seek
office in Washington, and it is claimed that
oftentimes they are appointed without any
fitness whatever for the positions they hold.
in many cases the assistant ehiefs do all the
business OF division during an entire Rd-
ministrRtion.
Sometimes It has been suggested that these
assistants be promoted, but they generally de-
cline, because they fear new administration
might dispense with them and they would be

should be extended to chiefs of divisions il

service and accomplish what the commission

Who Faver the Reform-Ex- Commissioner
Psrker's opinion-5e Says It VIII Do
Away with Objectionable Office Chasing.

The directors Of the Washington Board Of
Trade are unanimous in the opinion and
recommendation that the civil service law
be extended to the employees Of the Dis
trict. This Endorsement was made at an IN
usually large meeting Of the directors yester-
day morning at the rooms Of the board, Mr..
6. NJ. Woodward being chairman pro TEN.
The question came up on the following:
Resolved, BY the board Of directors of the
Washington Board Of Trade, that the pro-
posed extension Of the operation Of the law
Known as the civil service law, TO the officers
Of the government Of the District OF Colum-
biA, meets with our hearty approval, believ-
ting that it is in theinterest Of better and more
ensctual administration.
This resolution was discussed, every men,
Der OF the poard present expressing himself
"a approval thereof, and it was consequently
passed without dissenting vote.
The hist OF prominent business men who
are pushing the matter Of civil service exten-
sion TO the District is growing bigger every
day.
THH TIMES has already published quite q
humber Of the business and professional men
enlisted in this cause. The most recent addl-
lions to the petitioners are Judd Detweiler,
one OF the largest printing establishments in
the city. Thomas Bonneville q son, owners
Of a large foundry; B. II. Stinenetz. halter
and furrisr; Ssks & Co., OF the big clothing
establishment; Jehn C. Parker, one OF the
IeadinE booksellers.
Ex-Goumissioner OF the District NJ. NJ
Parker has also signed for an extension, and
hes spoken from his experience. He said
that the extension would be a good thing be-
cause a considerable part Of the time Of the
Commissioners is consumed in talking with
applicants for of3oe, and such time is wasted
and lost frem tho legitimate business Of the
Office The civil service Law, IL applied,
would certainly remove thar Objectionable

Some Good Advice to Boys.

MATTISaLY, KY, Nov, 25th, 1894 -
DEAR EDITOR, II you will please allow
me the space in your columns, l would
like to say few words to my young
friends. 1 am little boy fifteen years
Of age. live quarter Of mile east Of
Balltown.
Boys, II you think your lot hard one,
If called upon to feed before breakfast
or split stove wood when twas showing,
just stop minute and think OF the many
thousands Of poor, ragged, hungry and
homeless boys in this country that
would be oh so glad to have such a
home as yours, and you surely will be
ashamed of yourself. Don't think you
are to large to be corrected. You never
will be so large that your parents ADVICE
will not help you. Don't go rabbit hunt
ing on Sunday. If you can't go to church
stay at home and read some good book.
In short, do nothing that you think
wrong and do every thing that you think
right and some day you will be doubly
rewarded, for fortune favors the brave.
Dear readers, hope that you will not
think that am preacher for am nei-
ther preacher nor a preachers son.
But, think it our moral duty to try to
elevate ourselves in society and to do
this we must do what is right. II we
enter the great race we should enter with
the determination to win. We must
remember that there are many rough
places to pass over and you must be well
prepared or we will be lost forever.

General Weaver packed his grip and
slid out of town, without saying a word
for publication that would reveal any
great knowledge Of the details Of the
conference. He talked this way: "This
conference will result in the issuance Of
declaration Of principles, and there
will be an urgent appeal to all free silver
men TO stand together.
II am not ready to say for publication
that this conference will bring about the
formation Of a new political party. AS
to that, the future alone can tell. What
we want is the restoration OF silver.
Now, can we gather strength enough in
the Republican party to have it take up
our cause? think not. Can we gather
enough strength in the Democratic
party TO have it take up our cause All,
there is the rub. 1.-THE Democratic party
does not take up our cause that party
will be split asunder as certain as the
sun rises in the east. The Western
States will desert the Democratic party.
But believe there are sufficiently
large number Of free silver men in the
Democratic, Republican and Populist
ranks to carry their point, If they once
unite and form an organization with that
end in view."
