A TRAMP CHAIR.
st--nge Invention of an Oakland Man in
Practical Use.

An Oakland man La responsible for a
strange invention, which is said to be in
practical use In that town.
It is known as tramp chair, and
weighs 475 pounds. The chair Is sort Of
sub-station used for the punishment of
tramps and people arrested for drunken
ness.
A box arrangement boarded on all
sides and the top partially opened and
barred with iron rods, is the miniature
cooler into which the DRINKS and tramps
found in their towE are placed. A chair
is placed on the inside of the box and
upon this the prisoner is seated. He is
then wheeled about town Gas the box is
on wheels) and as the top part OF the So
called chair or box is opened to the pubic
gaze. the prisoner is naturally embar-
raised or humiliated, and as usual
thing the desired effect Is secured, and
the man either leaves town if he is a
tramp or turns over new leaf IN the
event that he is drunkard.
A petition Is in circulation in that
vicinity asking the state Legislature to
authorize trial Justices and judges OF the
police and municipal courts to use such
chair. The inventor guarantees that with
such law in effect that during the year
of 1897, every tramp will disappear from
the state and drunkards will gradually
give up their lives of debauchery.
The citizens Of Oakland say that to
give tramp or drunkard twelve hours
in the chair. he never will want to
see the town again whore the chairs are
located. The results accomplished In
Oakland are reported as very encourag-
ing.

a Probable Murder.

Curtis Cook, of Danville, is in Mt Carmel
searching for evidence of the death of Wesley
Bodine, also of Danville, whom Mr.. Cook
claims was last seen in June, 1885. Bodine
was survived by a wife and seven children.
If the widow can prove that her husband is
dead she and her children will be entitled to
a pension 1t seems that Bodine was work
ing in Shenandoah at the time mentioned
and was engaged as bricklayer. He left this
town on a Saturday evening for Ashland.
Rumors that he had been killed reached the
ears of his wife but she could get no positive
proof of it. Five years ago Mr.. Cook started
in to trace the matter up He has been in
this town various times during that period
he having heard that Bodine was murdered
on the Ringtown mountain, near Shenandoah.
A few days ago he met butcher named
Charles Campbell, who was in 1885 employed
in Mt Carmel, and who stated that he re-
membered of a man by the name of Bodine
dying on Sunday morning near the Lehigh
Valley depot, Mt Carmel. from injuries re-
ceived, it is supposed, from highwaymen.
Campbell further said that it was generally
known in Mt, Carmel at that time that it
was Bodine. So far there is no positive proof
of the death of Bodine.

Three Bad Bows.

Warning is given against three boys one
about 16 years of age and the others about
12 years. They have been in the habit of
frequenting Main street restaurant and, al
though poorly dressed, displayed an abun-
dance of money. Last night the Oldest of
the boys took So bill from large roll and
asked for change. The proprietor went next
door to get it and on his return found the
boy trying to open the cash drawer, which
was secured by combination lock. The boy
had already filled his pockets with cigars
from box behind the counter. He paid for
them to escape arrest. The names Of the
boys are not known. 1t is believed they are
conducting a system of robbery. They visit
the restaurant frequently, always displaying
plenty money and dine on scale far above
the ordinary course to which their stomachs
are accustomed.

The April number of The Forum will have
for its leader a noteworthy paper by Senator
Sherman entitled, Deficiency of Revenue
the Cause of Our Financial MS" The SEN
ator contends that the President aud Secre-
tary Carlisle mistake the cause of our present
financial condition in attributing it to the
demand for gold for United States notes, and
he thinks that the facts which he submits in
his paper win convince every one that the
true financial policy is to supply the govern
ment with ample means to meet its current
expenditures and to pay of each year a
portion Of the public debt. He cnticises the
Wilson bill very severely, declares that it has
produced a deficiency every hour since its
enactment, and attributes our financial ills
especially the continued exports Of gold
solely to its workings.
