how to make those exquisite French

the history OF this development two OF
the greatest names are Messenger and
Daniel Lambert.
Messenger was, SO TO speak, one OF
the seven fathers of the Americas

the English Stud Book for running
horscs-and was imported to the
United States in 1888 Though bred
as n running horse, he was c natural
trotter.
AS showing his remarkable sound
ness and vigor, u NAN who saw him
taken eff the ship used to relate that
three other horses, who bad made the
voyage with him, were so reduced
that they had to be helped and supy
ported down the gangp!ank: but when
Messengers turn came he, with loud
neigh, rushed down, with negro on
each side holding him back, and dashed
up the street at stiff trot, carrying
the grooms along in spite of all their
efforts to bring him to a standstill.'
Though not remarlSa bly, fast himself,
he became the progenitor of some Of
the greatest trottcrs. Hiram Woodruff
once said:
''When Messenger charged down the
gangplank the value OF not less than
one hundred million dollars struck our

He was formerly employed in the post-offiee

he was about TO marry, is one OF three sisters.
Polly, the youngest, is au invalid and some
time ago when che was raving in deirium
she talked about Mr.. Wilson's suicide One
night when she awoke from delirious sleep
she began to talk to the watcher by her bed

Police Have Gagged n Large Number Who
Will BE Tried for VagTancy.
Tramps have been pouring into this city
past few weeks and the hobos are literally
overrunning Washington. So noticeable has
this nuisance become that it was decided to
take measures to keep the nomads out OF
town, and therefore orders were Issued from
police headquarters yesterday to all the sta
tIons notifying them to detain all tram ps
found IN the precinct on charge OF yaSraney.
In consequence OF the edict the stations at
midnight were filled with the wanderers.
This morning in ths police court Judge Kim
ball will be called upon TO examine about
sixty vaerants, perhaps larger number than
have ever been brought before into court at
one time.
Although this number is large it does not
give an adequate idea of the size of the rag
god army. AT O'Clock yesterday afternoon
the municipal lodging house on Twelfth
street, near ID northwest was taxed to its ca
pacity, seventy-two men finding IL temporary
shelter within its walls. The Central Union
Mission accommodated about sixty-iiye OF
them.
Although a very few OF these travellers
really desire work. most of them live on the
charity Of the city as long as they can. aud
then resume their peregrinations. Washing
ton is kinder to the great Weary Rasgies
family than many other cities. and those
who have tasted of its hospitality, aud go ont

meet on the road about it.
At the First precinct police station last
night there were twenty-five gathered in; at
No. 4. 20; at No. 5. 6; at No. 3, 5, and at No.
Z, 3. Many OF these viii likely be sent 10 the
workhouse. and few will nave plausible
stories for the Judge. Tramps are only
allowed TO stay in town three days but after
this period has passed. they often linger and
