Those Who Want

Probably the most sought-after spot In
the city at present is the charity bureau OF
The Washington Times.
The bureau is not stylish resort, nor
do the visitors confine themselves to the
fashionable hour for calls. - ~ be-. $50
They are the class OF visitors who com
mence TO come in the morning-tbe early
morning-and they keep on coming with
steady persistency until almost any hour
in the night.
And what a panorama of poverty in all
its gnises the shifting crowds present. 80 .
Povery, cloaked under refined manners nd
geDteel garb; poverty stalking, ga unit and
unkeIHpt, with ciamorous cries Tor bread;
poverty in the knee breeches OF boyhood,

tones OF old age.
HOW THEY APPLY soar -
Among the better class of applicants
1T is noticeable that the Ina Jolty Of women
make brave attempt at Iecklessness, Yhiie
the men are Iow-voIced and downcast, and
occasionally show tears on eyelids and
boards.
1t isn't a wholesome sight to look at
and is sight that ought not TO be possible
in such an age and city as this.
The poor we always have with US, and
bcggars and imposters and cranks, but
surely there should be some way or pull
ting Intelligent, seif-respecung people who
are out Of work in the way of getting 1T.
One old lady, with soft white puffs of
hair and faded blue eyes, came to the
bureau yesterday to ask transportation for
herself and sick daughter, an ex-employe
or the Government, TO their hoIne III the
distant South.
RICHLY CLAD BUT HUNGRY.
She was literally starving but she did
show it, for her clothes were not shabby
in the least. and the bit OF real lace around
her dainty old throat was caught with an
ancient cameo pin, framed in diamonds and
pearls.
Another case that touched the manager
yesterday was that of 4 young man with
boDny smile that Showed magnificent
teeth. He said he simply called to say that
he and his wife had gathered a bundle OF
clothing for somebody poorer than them
selves. He said that he had himself been
out of work for months, but that ise was
keeping up his courage Fight along, and
he wanted 10 do the best lie could afford
for those who had less than he.
He would not place his name on the list,
but went off as cheerily as he came .....

can ticket. By letter, by telegraph, by
messenger. in person. by mail, on horse
back. afoot, he sought them out at political
meetings and i'll their country homes he
bent all his energies to comfort. encourage
and help them. and in the midst OF these
days of home he gained their pledges
to support him for the Senate, IL the sweet
promise of Republican victory should be
true. He got enough.
Nobody else but these country enthus-
lasts believed for moment the Republicans
would carry the State. There was far
away longing that Bradley might win and
have some patronage to distribute. But
the United States Senate-there was no
hope.
Then came November. and Republicans
were almost stupefied with the Wilderness
of their victory. When the shouts died
down little other Republican candidates
began a canvass of the legislature which
would plainly be very close at least. They
were met everywhere with one answer:
II have already promised DR.. Hunter"
There was a deal of swearing on the
quiet, aud when the Kentucky delegation
came on TO Washington DR.. Hunter rode
alone. He took rooms somewhere and
none Of the other members could give
the number. There was panied look
in Col Evans eyes when the United States
senate was mentioned, and Mr.. Yerkes
said he wasn't rich enough to run for a
place among the millioDaires.
Judge Holt of the court OF appeals and
Hon. A. L. Wilson OF Louisville made
fight against DIR. Hunter for the place. Even
the nther Congressman nibbled around
little.
one day ii was announced tbat there had
been break in the country doctors forces
and all was over. 1t was just little
manipulation of the market. DR.. Hunter
came up serenely on Saturday last with an
unshaken column and was nominated by
acclamation. IL looks now as If nothing
short of n miracle could defeat him.
DIR. Hunter is personally of medium stat
ure, sa ndy haired and rec.Oearded. urbane,
steady-going, earnest. faithful. intelligent,
aud will make an honora BILE record for him
self aud his State.

AN INSPIRED TRAMP.
Startled Newspaper Workers in the
Morning with Psalm.
New York Press.

Sthfiitu -NtWrIhDtF "oThcTr III tuc
Morning with Il Psalm.
New York Press.
1t was just after o'clock in the morning.
and tired newspaper workers were rushing
hoineward along Park row. when there ap-
peared from one of the dark corners OF
the post-office Il tramp SO far as his ap
pearance indicated he was an ordinary.
everyday tramp. His ragged coat was
buttoned or pinned up TO his throat. hiding
a chest that was probably bare OF a shirt;
his loose trousers. roughly patched and
badly frayed at the bottoms. bespoke, by
their sidewise droop. the absence OF even
n single suspender; his Old derby hat had
only half a brirn, and his mateless shoes
shuffled slovenly over the sidewalk. q
No attention did he attract until he
reached Mail street. Then his manner
changed. If he was drunk he ceased to
appear so. His head was raised. his shoul-
ders thrown back; his feet no longer
shuffed.
one grimy hand raised his hat from his
head. His eyes turned towardthe bright stars
dottiug the sky, and his voice broke the
stiffness OF the street. He spoke the open
ing words of the went y-fourth z Psalm-that
paean OF David sung before the gate of
Jerusalem. while the king himself danced
and pia yed:
The ea.th is the Lords. and the fullness
thereof;
The world and they that dwell therein" 80
Many who had never more than casually
read the Psalm stopped TO listen. Oblivi
ous, walking slowly, the tramp continued:
For He hath founded it upon tue seas,
He was not begging. this tramp. He did
not notice either, now or at a later time,
the audience that stood on the other side OF
the st rect.
The huskiness had left his voice, and it
rang out clear and sonuruus as he repeated
the lines. He crossed Nail street. No one
approached him and no man laughed as
thetramp walked on and finished the Psalm.
His voice grew in strength. There was NO
thickness in his utterance a S he came to
''Who is this King of Giory?''
Then, triumpbantly. as u herald annDuuc-
ing his royal master, he shouted; ;'"'''+'" 4
THE Lord OF Hosts, He is the. Ning of
Glory"
Almost sadly the tramp said the ,ast
words as he neared the old Hall of Records.
from time 10 time, were again raised TO the
starry heavens. He stood still for moment.
The inspiration seemed TO pass. His hat
fell upon his head again, his old shlmble
returned. and he passed out of sight OF
the many who had qietly followed him and
who now dispersed with many sighs and
low-spoken words.
Who was he? What had he been? The
tones OF his voice Indicated that it had once
been carefully cuItivated; his enunciation
was distinct and his delivery that OF one
accustomed to speak 10 attentive hearers.
Perhaps said one of his audience, .'he is
a fallen clergyman"
Perhaps. Who can tell? No explanation
was given. and he was allowed to pass on

Says Capt. Robinson of Baltimore: I'VE
have the strongest team that was ever put
on the diamond, and will do what we did
last year-carry off the penDant in walk.
Boston and Cleveland are the only clubs
we have much to fear from, but even
these are not very formidable opponents. 1t
is only the pitchers that cause any anxiety.
II they turn out as well as last year we Will
win the pennant again, and If they do better
than last year-why, we will be SO far
ahead by August 1 that Patsy Tebeau
will give up the race in disgust. Nowl
that's gospel truth. Doyle is first rate
man, and will benefit us considerably.
Jack is doing the usual bluffing act, but
wait until we start practice in Macon.
Doyle will be there with the rest"

YEAR AT THE TARGETS.
Averages Made by the Troops of the
Rav1,lnr ARMY

Regular Army.
The results OF the rifle and revolver
firing of United States troops during the
year 1895 have been announced by the
War Department.
The men of the Department of the Column
bia made the best percentage, securing 4S.4
for distances up to 600 yards, also leading
with 20. 1 per cent atS0Oyards Theaverage
for the entire army up to 500 yards was
41.S.
The cavalry did not receive the new
magazine arms before the close of the
target season, and, therefore, had no prac-
tice. In the rife firing of the infantry
regiments, the Fourteenth Regiment led
with 59.4 per cent.
The lowest regiment record was AL.
In the revolver firing by the cavalry, the
Fifth Regiment led with 1853 mounted
and S0.41 dismounted, followed by the
Seventh with 77.05 mounted and 1886
dismounted. s..-..5
1t was noticeable that in revolver prac-

Exhlbition of Flea Power.

At the great works of Herr Krupp, In
Essen, is to be seen a hammer weighing
eighty tons, and this in turn Is placed on an
anvil block weighing 120 tons. A Swiss,
calling himself Prof. Schumann, who has
devoted much OF his life to training f,eas
at Berne, in Switzerland, recently visited
Essen and looked upon the mighty hammer.
On his return to Berne he began a model
of the great hammer but on such tiny
scale that 1t could be worked by flea
power Instead OF the mighty engine which
operates the one in Essen. In Its completed
state this marvellous miniature steam ham
mer, pulley. anvil, block and all, weighs but
half grain. The hammer and anvil are of
solid gold, the pulleys German silver and
the framework of platinum. r.7'
A flea trained by Mr.. Schumann will, at
the word of command, hoist the hammer
to the top of the frame. There 1t is auto
matically set free, descending in precisely
the same manner as the monster after
which it is modelcd.-PearsOn's Weekly.
