BOSTON LETTER.

In one way and another the new
Boston Public Library manages to be
pretty constantly subject of dis
cussion in the press of the city. The
latest cutlery is to the effect that the
tramps who sleep on the Common, or
in more out of the way and less
policeman infested corners, go to the
very elegant wash room in the library
to make their morning toilets, and
that they and the boys, who fire.
quent the same place, steal regularly
and effectually, not only the soap
placed there, but all the movable fix
lures, even to the nickel plated chains
and stop cocks of the wash basins.
1t is supposed that the boys steal the
soap, and the tramps The other things
as soap is held to be the last thing a
tramp wants. Really, the abuse by
such people of this very excellently
