ANOTHER TRAMP DODGE.

Person.

1t Would Not Work Twice on the Same
Person.
Mrs. Sue Berb does not believe in en-
couraging tramps, peddlers and other
itinerants. 1t has long been her boast
that such people never got inside her
door. But there are exceptions One
day last spring, Mrs. Sue Berb answered
knock her side door, and her heart
melted with pity at seeing there fee.
BILE old woman, apparently overcome
with WEAKNESS and asthma.
The salutation of her strange guest
was:
For the love of heaven, lady, let me
come in and rest a minute. | can't 60
on further at present. Let me sit
down and get my wind and have a
drink of water" puff-wheeze
puff, etc.
Mrs. Sue Berb's natural suspicion
was unarmed, and she cheerfully gave
the strange wandcrer a seat in her
kitchen, brought her drink. not of
water, but of wine, and sat by and
famed her until the signs of asthma
began to disappear.
suddenly whip a small basket of pins
and notions from beneath her shawl
and, with a cunning glitter in her
eyes, solicit patronage in voice from
which all trace of asthma had gone.
Mrs. Sue Berb concluded that she had
been sold, and sho was convinced when
she saw her visitor walk up to the
house of her neighbor next door and
repeat the same tactics.
The first of May came, and with it
Mrs. Sue Berb moved from her house
on Seventh street to n house on
Steenth avenue, which she could get
one dollar a month cheaper. and which
had, besides, the advantage of one
more gas jet and little cleaner paper
on the kitchen wall
Yesterday there was n knock at her
side door, and when she opened it who
should be there but her former ac-
quaintance, with the same old asthma
and exhaustion and the same plea for
a chance to come in and rest just
minute. Mrs. Sue Berb is not the kind
of fish that can be caught twice in tine
same net. She had no pity this time.
After listening to the old woman's
complaint for a minute, she broke in
with:
For the love of heaven, woman. go
iway-wheeze-I can't help you-puff.
Give me a chance to rest n minute in
my own house-wheeze. If you knew
how i'll am you would not ask TO come
-puff-wheeze.
And the notion purveyor, with a
crestfallen look, trolted nimbly down
the steps and walked away at rate
which proved that there was more than
one cure for her kind of asthma

COL. LUDLOW TN THE JUNGLE
Nicaragua Canal Board Making Good
Progress in Their Investigation.
Before Returning to the United States
They VIII Examine Ferdinand de
Lessep's Big Panama Ditch.

Lieut.. Col. Ludlow, chairman of the
Nicaragua Canal Board, has cabed the
| State Department from Nicaragua, stating
that the board would reach Greytown on the
10th instant, and be ready to start for Colon
on the 25th instant. Secretary Herbert being
advised OF this movement, has Informed the
State Department that the Montgomery
sailed from Colon, where she had proceeded
for coal, on the 21st instant.
The commission has now completed it's
examination of the lines Of the Nicaragua
canal, but before returning to the United
states 1t VIII proceed TO Colon and make
a similar inspection of the incomplete
Panama canal, With view to compar ring
the rival projects, and embodying the re-
suits in report to Congress-
A mail report received at the State De-
partment directly from Col. Ludlow :,
dated at Rlvas, Nicaragua, June 2, shows
that all is going well with the commission,
that the health of the party has been ex-
celient, that the climatic conditions have
not 1nteHered with It's work, and that the
Nlcaraguan government has extended every
attention and courtesy, and has tried TO
make their stay agreeable and profitable
Inc commission was not finding its task
an easy one. 1t had just returned to Rivas
June from an inspection OF the western
DIVISION or the canal, from Brito to Lake
Nicaragua, and was about To inspect the
eastern division, leaving RivasOn a steamer

and then traversing the jungle on foot over

DEATH FROM NEGLECT.

Unless the newspaper reports of the
death Of Edmund Barry in cell at the
Ninth precinct police station yesterday
are strongly distorted the circumstances
connected with the case deaand an in
vestigation. 1t is reported that repeG~S
efforts were made TO secure the services
OF doctor but that none could be Tounr
until too late to save the mans life
II is true that DIR. Cole, when asked TO
report 10 the station undertook TO prescribe
over telephone, but not understanding
the mans condition could not order medi
cine that did him any COED
There is no reason why a human being
should be allowed to suffer for four long
hours in mortal agony in this commu-
nity without medical assistance, and es-
pecially should this neglect be made the
subject Of investigation since ii occurred
in police station. If our system Of car
ing for unfortuRates after their arrest is
wrong il should be Immediately Tcmedied.
If tie fault lies with the Officers, the ne
glect deserves censure. In either event

THE GARRAGECoNTRACT.

1t is more than likely that The unusual
number OF proposals for the disposal OF
garbage and the Iowness Of the bids Will
offer the Commissioners opportunity TO
settle this question to the satisfaction of
the public. The collection and reduction
OF the city refuse by incineration will
probably be the method selected, as that
would do away with the necessity OF
sending il down the river 10 the detrimcnt
Of our ueighbors ii Alexandria county
This plan would also do away with that
pestilential brooding place at Geisboro
Point. across from the Arsenal.
The good health Of Washington depends
largely upon the prompt and thorough
manner in which its refuse is removed.
Proper sanitary conditions cannot e
maintained unless strict regulations for
the cleanliness OF our streets and aHcys
ana ali places where offal accumulates
are rieidly enforced Therefore the ae-
ceptance of proposal by the Commits
sioners WIZ be watched with considerable

CREEDON DEFEATS HENNESSY
Middle Weight Cha III pionship Decided
In Six Hounds.

Boston, June 24-Dan Creedon, of
Australia, and Billy Hennessy, Of Boston,
met at the Suffolk Clubs rooms tonight
TO settle the question of the middle-weight
pugilist championship of America. They
were scheduled to fight twenty rounds but
only Six We're necessary

With Creedon We're John Griffin, Ben
Murphy, Mickey Dunn and Tom benny
and back of Eennessy were Billy Smith, Dick
O'Brien, jimmy Kelly and Patsy Kerrigan
In the first round Hennessy nearly floored
Creedon with left on the ear, but the close
found the Australian in rapid work with
his left on Hennessy's jaw.
In the second round Creedon had his
opponent all but out and apparently had
mercy.
Hennessy was game in the third round and
also in the fourth and in the furious in
fighting gained several points by pIucky
work, although weak.
Hennessy's fighting in the fifth was
that of beaten man and he retired
winded, while Creedon sat down smiling
and confident.
The finish OF Hennessy in the next
round was a surprise, however. Creedon
shot out few quick lcfts, HenneSsy fell,
and on rising met the swinging right OF
Creedon. Hennessy toppled over upon his
head. and it was thought that he was
severely hurt, but he was carried out OF
the ring ten minutes later unharmed. The

NOT LIKE THE KEEL CANAL

An neffort is being made to awaken public
sentiment in favor Of the Nicaraguan canal
by comparing the advantages of the new
kicl canal 10 Germany with the proposed
beneficial results the United States would
obtain from The Nicaragua short route 10
the Pacific Ocean. No one, unless il be
the trans-continental railroads, has opposed
the Nicaraguan canal on any 1ttfer grounds
than that Al is gigantic steal. projected
by bankrupt enterprise and engineered by
lobbyists 10 reimburse a defunct CORPORA
tion FROM the treasury OF the United States.
The entire project bears The earmarks of
failure, and if the next Congress enacts
the desired law it VIII be brought about
by purchase.
IL ihe Aicaraguan canal is reported upon
favorably by the expert commission that
is now on the ground, that report should be
based upon government ownership of the
enterprise. There is no reason why the
United States should make itself responsible
for one hundred or more millions Of dollars
for the benefit Of any private enterprise.
Eventually the government would have to
redeem It's guaranty and il would be better,
fihe scheme is feasible, to assume controlat
pnce 10y ypemissIono ofthe eNicaraguangovern
ment, and do away withthe stealings which
naturally follow the private management of
such projects.
In making the comparison between the
Keel and Nicaragnan canals il should be
remembered that the Kiel canal is in Ger
man territory is strictly q Earp,.r Off,.
prise, and its revenues viii go into the Ger
man treasury. The Nicaraguan canal, as
now projected, would be private enter
prise, built in foreign country lid backed
by The United States government. Its
construction, if guaranteed by Congress, is
purely probIematical, ana is more likely
a Lobbyists scheme than a business like
speculation. 1t cannot, from any stand
point, be compared with the KieI canal.
