A Sure Remedy,

Bloomsbury has been literally over
run with tramps the past few weeks.
In the absence of city stone pile, it
might be we'll for the housewife to
have a spade near the back door. A
little shoveling as an appetizer will do
him good. The chances are he'll
decline the invitation. An exchange
tells thusly how to drive the tramp
away. Give him a nights lodging at
public expense, but make it a cast
iron rule that he shall first take a
bath. Weary Waggles would rather
face death than soap and water and
the use Of a good scrubbing brush.
"Wash myself" says he. "It
would kill me-" And breathing a
vast sigh Weary Waggles moves on.
The sure way to tell the decent work
ing man out Of employment from the
tramp is that the decent working man
is always not only willing but glad to
have bath.

CHILD BURNED TO DEATH,

Last Monday the people residing
at the lower end of Sixth street were
startled by hearing the report that a
child had been burned to death. The
facts in the case as we have been
able to learn them are briefly as fol-
lows: Mike La0ant, whose family
consists Of wife, three children, a girl
aged about ten years old, a boy aged
five years and a baby aged about
three years and several boarders have
been residing in the said neighbor-
hood for some time. AT the time
above mentioned and during the
absence of the head of the family the
older child took a stick, thrust it in
the stove and after it became ignited,
put it against the clothing of her little
brother and sister. This was repeated
several times, until the clothing took
fire, and before aid was secured the
clothing was almost entirely consum-
ed. The boy was burned so badly
that he died about one o'clock. The
life of the baby was saved by a neigh
Dor woman who rushed in and
smothered the flames. The girl cvi-
IDENTITY was insane, as after the fire
was extinguished, she attempted
again to burn the children. The
family are Polanders, and the matter
should be investigated by the proper
authorities
