THE WOMAN TRAMP.
One of Them Calls at a Cottage Street
Home and Tells Her Story.
From the Lewiston Journal.


A woman, not over 30 years of age and
rather tall but strong looking, called at a
house on Cottage street. Lewiston Wed
nesday afternoon, and asked for some
thing to eat. The lady of the house in
vited her into the kitchen where she made
tea and gave 1t to her with cold meat
and bread. The woman sat down and ate
it slowly, occasionally stealing side
long look at the hostess, who sat by sew
ing.
"'Bes you married woman?" she final
ly inquired.
Yes; are you?'
Mar. l ANTI wuz to marry a man
but he was shot in a barroom, and cause
I tried to help his murderer out the
world 1 had ter take the road. Theys
amt many lady tramps calls here, bes

mo; where are you from?"
"Well, / come into the city on a freight
train. These men are the best friends
that a woman has. Did yees ever hear of
a brakeman or conductor throwing a
woman off train cause she was steal
ing a ride? No, nor anybody else niver
heard of it, They won't do it, There was
a woman in Portland who found me
asleep under the table in her hallway at
o'clock in the morning, and she puts me
out into the rain, but that's cause her

(Copyright)
New York, Dec. 1.-Surprise has been
expressed in New York at the manner in
which John Jacob Astor followed up the
case of a vagabond who had succeeded
IN forcing his way into the residence of
'ne milionaire's mother and calmly going
10 sleep in the bed of the laundress. 1t
mas seemed to many that Mr.. Aston had
oelioerately put himself in the position of
On oppressor since he is so rich and great
anu the culprit, whose crime, after all,
was not enormous, is a friendless wan
uerer' But that is a very superficial
view to take of the matter. Back Of the
incident is a long series of events cal
'ulated to incline the sympathies of any
One IN Mr. Astor's direction.
FOR at least six months past the
"l'lIonaires of Fifth avenue have been
'uoJected to a systematic persecution by

How spain,s King BOWS.

From the Westminster Gazette.
The way the S-year-old King of Spain
bows to his subjects when he receives
their homage is said to be a sight for
gods and men. The day has passed when
Alphonso ran and hid his face in the
queen regents lap If a stranger looked at
him. He now surveys the crowd on
high occasions with the most nochalant
air, and then bends his head with the
polite indifference of an American heir

coronet."

CORRESPONDENTS.

Nh. EpIrOR:-Oneo OF the live issues
OF the present political fermeut is the
question OF citizenship. 1t seems EVIL
dent enough that the call of the Pro-
vi>ioual Government 10 come 10 the
polls and vote for delegates 70 a Con-
StiiutiOual Convention eouferS no
right 81 citizenship, and by parity OF
reasoning aunulS no such rights. Ii
i simply Sn invitation TO be one Of \
big committee, representing certain
interests, - formulate a new constltu-
tiOn. According TO the accepted YER
dict II the Senate Committee, the
Hawaiian Government hiss never
been dissolved. Ii was temporarily
djSorcanized by the Queens violation
Of her constitutional oath. By her
own set she diSownsd and discarded
her prerOEatlVsS IS the sovereign Of
the Hawaiian kingdom. The domi-
nsuJ power in the community elected
: new head, and with President Dole
s. the chief executive and few SIM
ilsr changes, the Hawaiian Govern
menl went on IS before.
The dominant power, De facto, If not
dc lure, now proposes, IN pursuance
Of its sovereign power, 10 modify the
provisions Of the constitution Of 1877
In other respects besides this Of the
title and tenure Of the chief executive.
The status 81 citizenship may be
altered by the new constitution or il
may not. Il would seem TO
stand 10 reason that under that
constitution no one ought 10 have
rights OF citizenship who does not
make this his country, in whose pros
perity and administration he takes 3
part personally and unreseryedly.
Government is not merely organized
10 give protection 10 life snd property.
Ii can do that TO everyone without
thereby comforting rights Of citizen
ship. But, IS your editorial columns
hsve frequently shown, government is
organized 10 promote the welfare snd
prosperity Of the community IS S
whole. IL Is this aspect of govern
meut that Is awakening increasing
public interest in the States. In
Chicago, s. in many other American
cities, 3 society has been formed
called the ''Ciyit Federation of Chi
c. 90" Il has $ Central Council Of
one hundred, sn Executive Committee
% fourteen, and auxiliary federatiOnS
in the various wa0iS OF the city. There
Srz 10 Oe xix departments Of work
social. elUg4-iOu4i, uuuiCIfa&i, phliaD-
tbCopuIc, industrial, moral reform.
We need such 81 organization quite
s. much - We DO . political machine.

CURED in one day, much to the con-
sternation of the soldiers.
More curious than blood rain in re-
gard to the mere color was the red, violet
and grass-green shower which fell in
the south of France many years ago
and made patchwork of the big lake,
whereon its manifestation was the
more noticeable. This shower, again,
was caused by untold myriads OF
differently colored animalcules. Spider
showers are another curiosity worthy
of mention in this connection. The
spiders are gossamers; and all those
who have read Whites Natural His
tory of Selborne will call to mind his
description of the showers he observed.
One of these. he tells us, continued
for nearly a whole day and the gossa-
mers descended from a surprising
height, for when one gentleman as
cended a hill near at hand some three
hundred feet high he found that the
spiders were dropping from region in
the atmosphere that was still beyond
the reach of his gaze. DIR. Martin
Lister named this aerial spider the
bird, from the facility with which it
can traverse the air: and upon one oc-
oasion when he observed a shower Of
them at York he assembled to the top Of
the minister and found that even at
that altitude he was still below their
level-that they were descending from
some region above that standpoint.
Darwin, another observer of spider
showers, describes one he saw in 1882,
when on board the Beagle, at the
mouth of the La Plata river. when the
vessel was some sixty miles from land;
and he seems to have been the first to
notice that each parachute of gossamer
carried a spider aeronaut, for he not
only observed them arrive on board the
ship but be also saw them reproduce a
new parachute, and on this frail bark
launch forth again ION the bosom of
the palpitating air." These gossamer
showers are great mysteries and once
seen cannot very readily be forgotten,
for the air on these occasions becomes
literally crowded with the tiny paras
chutes mentioned. which are composed
of few threads of almost invisible
Igossamer, with a small but lively
spider attached. This may be regarded
as the most beautiful thing in strange
showers.

STRANGE SHOWERS.
Blood, Spiders and Other Queer Things

Blood, Spiders and Other Queer Things
Rained Down from Heaven.
The meteorological phenomenon that
dates from the night of the big wind"
and the disastrous dOwnpour that
drenched a suffering humanity on that
occasion is surpassed by the record of
other transforms.
The sky has shed tempests of blood,
and more than once this phenomenon
has produced CONSERVATION among
men whose startled eyes beheld what
they deemed was the visible sign of
their impending destruction. Blood"
rain is caused by the presence of inf
nitely little plants, aninalcules or
minerals in the globulcs In one in
stance of a shower that fell at Bristol
and in the Bristol channel the ana
lytical examination showed that the
red color was due to ivy-berry seeds.
In medieval times blood rain was a
prodigy; in the east it was connected
with the belief that man was produced
from blood that fell from heaven. 1t
was portent as remarkable as the
bloody host" which, while it flour
ished, probably caused the death of
more Jews in this country than any
other individual superstition directed
against that people. 1t is described as
AN appearance of blood flowing from
bread when bitten" but it manifested
itself in other articles of food besides
bread and sometimes seemed to drop
from the air. 1t will be remembered
by historical readers that while Alex
ander was besieging Tyre this prodigy

There seems to be a likelihood that
the treasures which are supposed to he
buried in and around ancient Alexan-
dria may be brought to light before
long. A letter from Cairo. published
in the London Times. says: "A very
important symptom of the past season
has been the awakening of interest in
ancient Alexandria. and we shall prob
ably hear a great deal about the
PtOlemaic and Roman capital in the
future. It is the most unexplOred site
in Egypt, and it is really astonishing
that we should know so little of what
was once the first city land has always
been among the first) on the Mediter-
ranean. The meeting place of so many
races, bound up with Jewish and early
Christian history, an unrivaled center
of culture, the burial place of the
greatest of ancient conquerOrs and OF
long line of his successors, the most
singular and favored city in the Roman
empire, Alexandria has limitless posi-.
bilities. The ancient city lies deep
under the modern; but. now that the
municipality is favora BILE. the new
museum has been organized and per.
sons of local influence are at work. we
may hope that an exploration has beer
begun which will prove of extraordi
nary interest if carried through"

A Woman, on Behalf of Her Sex, Asks
Some UnanswerabIe Questions.
The little peculiarities of women are
a fruitful topic with some masculine
writers. They continually rush into
print with such questions as: Why
does a woman always want to know if
her hat is on straight? Why does she
keep you waiting ten minutes after
&9e's 9eslgggsQ She's al ready? Why
does she this. that GlQ the other?
Here's counter blast from woman
writer in the New York Journal. Why
does a man always have heightened
and often profane interviews with
his collar button? 1t looks like an
inoffensive sort of an article to an
outsider Why does he rush through
his dressing and throw everything all
over the room, because he's in such a
hurry-he knows he'll be late"-and
then spend a good five minutes filling
and lighting his pipe? Why does he
never put together and fold up news
paper? Why, when a pretty girl
praises another mans charming man
ners, does he say the girl is soft"
Why does he declare that handsome
and popular young actors are ''sticks?''
Why can he never, by any possibility,
find anything he is sent to look for in
closet or drawer? Why Is his headache
or tOOthache so much worse than any
body else's ever was? Why is it always
his liver that does not work, instead of

neighbor applied to Mr.. Lane, O. c.,
the North London magistrate, for his
advice. The lady, he said, was in the
habit of giving cat parties in her gar
den, inviting all the stray tabbies and
toms in the locality by laying food for
them on the grass. The amateur garden

unfortunately the animals left the gard
