John o. Shares Tells of the Great Damage
 to the Orange Trees in Florida.
 MT. John o. Shares, who recently re- turned from Florida, confirms the re- ports of the damage to orange trees all over the state. MT. Shares has been at Rock Ledge, at the Rock Ledge house, which is owned by his father and con ducted by his brother-in-law, Mr. Tread way. Mir. Shares says that not only is the fruit killed, but many thousands of the trees were entirely destroyed by the recen. cold snap.
 Many of these trees killed are fifteen or twenty years old, and as the trees do not begin to bear fully until fifteen years old. the extent of the damage may be realized.
 One man, before the cold wave, had bargained for grove and paid $100 for the option, so the would-be buyer just escaped the loss of $5,0O0, which was to be the price, while the loss fell upon the old owner.

How to Deal With Tramps--A Humorous
 Lectures Next Week,

How to Deal With Tramps--A Humorous
 Lectures Next Week,
 Professor McCook's S lecture at the free public library Thursday evening was very interesting one. He has made a deep and thorough study of the tramp question.
 From the political economists point of view the cost of the tramp to this country is about $1S,OO0,0OO per year. That is. the tramp gets from com munity enough on an average to aggre- gate for the whole vast army the above amount. This is twice as much as the Indians cost us, about half as much as it costs to keep the navy and more than one-ffth of the army's cost for the year.
 In his practical conclusion pr. Me Cook claims that the tramp is pauper and should be treated as such, and not as criminal. Every one should be inspected and cleanliness both of body and clothing should be insisted upon. They should be kept decent. This can be done with little expense in a practice al way. They should be registered sys- tematically and carefully and be requir- ed to have a passbook on which to stamp date and place of lodging.
 Repel or arrest applicant on trans gression of conditions. Provide labor station, the town farm being good be- ginning. Get several committees to join together and establish institutions where incorrigibles may learn to work and overcome the habit of idleness Wherever they are lodged require an equivalent in labor. No man should be allowed to spend the day in begging, spending his money on drink and licen- tiousness and then get lodgings. h. dividual initiative should be depended upon and government aid asked only in last resorts. The ultimate combination of all communities in one system or net work which may make it morally cer- tain that every man who is out of work without fault of his own may be kept from misery. and the merely lazy and vicious may be sifted out and forced to work is state of affairs to be desired.
 Professor McCook's next lecture will be on Leaves from Tramp's Diary" This will be amusing. being years correspondence with a tramp. It will doubtless be amusing as it is that of a tramp who has a most keen sense of humor and most delicious method of expression. It deserves special atten- tion. The course will be of interest to those who attend the Conference of Charities and Correction.

A Youthful RemlnIscencs.

When l had outgrown my knicker- bockers and begun to exult in pre- mature manliness, was told that God had created a girl (and of course a high ly desirable one) who was, some day, to be my wife. All I had to do was to keep my eyes open and my heart pure, so that I might know her when I saw her. As was in those days a person of much consequence both to God and man, this arrangement did not strike me as being at all unreasonable. found it, on the whole, extremely satis- factory. It was so deeply gratifying to my vanity that, even after a swarm of fattering convictions had begun to desert me, l could not afford to dismiss my faith in this divinely predestined wife who was plning for me in some unsuspected corner of the earth. 1 pin ed for her in return, and pictured her to myself in all sorts of glorious dis guises. kept my eyes scrupulously on the alert, and gazed with a respectfully adoring inquiry into every sweet face encountered, in the hope of recognizing the right one. l had an idea that a kind of electric spark recognition would flash from her to me and from me to her; whereupon the matter would be settled between us without further ado. I experienced all sorts of premonitory thrills whenever contemplated in thought the delightful things which would be appropriate to the occasion rehearsed to myself a lot of rapturous nonsense which, somehow, had a very sublime ring. I woke up in the night and saw the, dark thronged with delec- table girl faces, peeping forth, cheek by cheek, like the cherubs' heads in Raphaels Sistine Madonna. It was such an embarrass de richesse that I grew bewildered. They were all so love ly that 1t was impossible to choose, for the choice of one would have cut me off from all the rest.

Dog Eat Dor.

tFrom the San Francisco Examiner.l
 The street fakir was stationed on the corner of East and Mission streets yes- terday with a machine that an investor could spin around, and If it stops at a watch yer get the watch, but if 1t don't yer sure of a smoke" Such was the language of the fakir
 A man stood by and watched things for a few minutes. He saw several ci- gars given to spectators, but the bright steel index never stopped on the watch or the revolver. He carried very stout cane.
 Going up to the turntable he stood abreast of the watch, and held his cane fairly up and down. He put down a nickel, gave the index a twist, and to the surprise of all it stopped right over the watch. The crowd cheered and jeered, and the fakir tried to look as if he liked 1t. After depositing the watch into his pocket the stranger edged around the table till he stood abreast of the revolver. The cane was again held straight up and down, and another nickel was thrown on the table. The index was sent flying around and it stopped right over the revolver. The crowd was too surprised to cheer any more, and before the fakir had recover ed his composure the stranger stalked off.
 An officer from one of the ships near by had watched the whole proceeding, and going after the stranger asked per mission to see the cane. The stranger handed it to the sailor, who found it weighed eight or nine pounds. It was powerful magnet.
 Tt was one ot the cleverest cases of dog eat dog that I ever saw" said the navigator.

West Haven Trolley Hearing.

Hartford, March 1.-The petition of citizens of West Haven that the fare on the Winchester avenue street rail road be reduced from ten to five cents was considered by the railroad com mittee to-day. The office of the rail- road commissioners was crowded with New Haven folks. The claim of the company rested mainly on the fact that the locality was particularly a summer resort and inasmuch as the business was confined to only one season of the year, higher rates had to be charged. Several witnesses were called and it was shown that the popu- lation was less than 800, but owing to the summer trade a large business was done. The residents ask relief to a fve-cent fare maintaining that the present communication of 100 round trip tickets for $15 is exorbitant.

A Fine Lecture.

The first lecture of the Phi Beta Kappa course was delivered last even ing by Professor Wheeler in Osborn hall. The subject was: '"The Campaign of Waterloo and was, it is needless to say, very ably handled.
 Professor Wheeler attributes the loss of the battle to the delay and inex- plicable misunderstanding on the part of Napoleon. He also disputes Vel lington's claim to the greater part of the glory and attributes to the Ger man forces a very great share for meritorious services. The lecture hall was crowded to it's utmost capacity and at the conclusion of the lecture Professor Wheeler was roundly ap- plauded.

DIVINITY SCHOOL 1EcrUEEs.
The Lectures for Next Year Decided Upon

 A Fine Course Laid Out.
 At meeting of the faculty of the di- vlnity school last Wednesday, the spec iallectures for next year were decided up on. Rev. Henry Van Dyke, postor of the Brick Presbyterian church, New York, will deliver the Lyman Beecher course of lectures. Rev. George A. Gordon of the Old South church, Boston, and J. F. Genung, professor of rhetoric at Am herst. were also selected as lecturers. Professor James D. Griggs of the Metropolitan school of music, New York, will give as cries of talks on Sacred Music" The course will consist of ten lectures to be given at intervals of three weeks throughout the year.
 The faculty also appointed William J. Tucker of Dartmouth to deliver an address on the evening of May 12, which is the Sunday preceding the divinity school anniversary. Of these gentle men mentioned Dr. Van Dyke is the on- ly one thus far who has accepted, but it is thought the others will do so.

THE FLOATING POPULATION.
Arthur W. Milbury to Speak at Calvary
 Baptist Church on the Subject.

Arthur W. Milbury to Speak at Calvary
 Baptist Church on the Subject.
 At the Calvary Baptist church to- morrow evening MT. Arthur w. Mill bury, the indefatigable founder and manager of the Christian Indutsrial Alliance of New York. will deliver an address on "The Floating Popula- tion."
 Dr. Albert Shaw, editor of the Re- view of Reviews, says in regard to this subject that in every country to-day are thoughtful men who either through public and official agencies or through agencies of a character that we call philanthropic are endeavoring to deal with the problem of floating popula- tion. Our modern industrial system and our whole social structure sadly enough makes 1t true that every city has in variable proportion, but as a constant factor, a population element that is for the time being detached from regular occupation, from circles of friendly assistance, and from the whole regime of life, which gives the more fortunate man his place, his status, his associations, and his daily work. Dr. Shaw has been greatly interested in all that he has learned of the In- dutsrial Christian Alliance of New York, because in a city which makes scant public and official recognition of the need for wise dealing with the stranded and the unfortunate floating element, there is no other agency that has been working so hopefully and upon the whole so successfully as this Alliance in this very obscure and diffi- cult field.
