tramps? You must look elsewhere.
Maine has them not. Are you looking

is for his health as his physician com

opinion seems to be lie has fled to escape
the uncomfortable position he finds him
self in by reason of an investigation now
pending before Il legislative committee
to which he would be sumnond as Il
witness. His departure was known to
but very few of his friends and was a
surprise to his Tammany associates
generally and they are somewhat de
moralized thereat. Mayor Gilroy said
he would probably be gone until after
election. Croker says he is out of

Lore, who spoke at length on the work
of the association He said that about
800 young men come to this city annually
TO take up their residence. Those who
have relatives are not at a loss for COM
panionshiD, but those who have not, are
at a loss for friends. This is the class
that the association should reach and, in
a large measure, does reach. They can
find both entertainment and friends at
the hall of the Young Mems Christian
Association. There they will frd an
incentive TO look upward toward better
life. The Spiritual physical and social

after A healthy mind requires a strong

Y. NJ. c. A. buildiag be given to the
Women's Christian Union, and that
they be given $25. 600 of the amount
raised to erect the kind Of building they
need Then he would recommend that
$50, 600 Of the amount be used in build
ing a Young Mems Christian Association
hall for the colored people, and the re-
naming money used in building a hall
for the present association He thought
that the people of Wilmington should be
willing to give enough for the associa-
ton to build a hall which would be a
credit to the city.
