whittier all the buns and hobos turn in
fall. Tramps are of two kinds: The
unfortunates who want to work and
can find no job, and the vicious, who
would die sooner than work. OF this
latter class are almost all the thousands
that are now gathered at the nations
capital.
On the Potomac flats whole COM
panies OF them "camp out" They gath
er boards and boxes and erect shelters,
where they contentedly sit and discuss
ways and means to beg or steal food.
They frequently resort to intimidation
when all else fails, and seldom have to
go hungry.
Gangs of them go on foraging expedi-
tions, and when they return to the flats
with their booty, the pot is made to boil,
while the crowd intently watches the
culinary proceedings. After dinner the
hobo feels that he is a great man, and
he lights his pipe and struts with all
the self-importance Of the "big-headed"
society man.
His pipe smoked, he goes out on an

THE GLOBE HOTEL.
Reminiscenco of Famous Hostelry of
the Philadelphia Centennial.


Reminiscenco of Famous Hostelry of
the Philadelphia Centennial.
>The Philadelphia Times publishes a
long article reviewing the history of the
famous Globe hotel, just outside the
grounds, whicls will be remembered by
visitors to the centennial exhibition in
1876. 1t was built by a company COM
posed of some of the wealthiest and most
prominent citizens of Philadelphia, in
Guiding General Harry Fl. Bingham,
sslo was president; Hamilton Disston,
P. A. B. Widener, W. L. Elkins, Sam
uel Josephs, Charles H. Gross and 9TH
ers. M )st of these gentlemen subscribed
from $40, 900 to $50, 900 each. The ideas
these capitalists had of the remunerative
character of the enterprise they had en-
gagged in may be judged from the fact
that one of them, at meetings Of the di-
rectors, could show most conclusively on
paper that the net profits could not pos
sibly be less than 1000, 900. The hotel
cost $3.50, 900, and was a most imposing
structure, as many will recollect. A big
mineral fountain was erected at one end,
and the company received $40, 900 or
$25, 900 for the lease Of it. A manager
of the hotel was engaged at $1,000 a
month for year.
The hotel had accommodations for
5000 guests. But somehow people
would not patronize it, Samuel Josephs,
later the originator Of "Grover, Grover,
four years more of Grover" and his
partner paid $4,000 For the bar privi-
lege Afterward the company remitted
$15, but even then the two lost
$50, 900 on their venture. 1t was not q
liquor drinking crowd that went to the
Centennial. Connected with the Globe
hotel, a couple of squares away, was a
vast collection of sheds, beneath which
teams could be sheltered and where
they could be watered and fed. They
calculated that the manure alono would
pay all the expenses Of the enterprise.
During the six months of the exposition
how many teams do you suppose were
driven beneath tho sheds? Exactly one.
During July, August and September the
hotel cleared an aggregate over expenses
of $l03, 900, but the upshot of the whole
business was that when the exhibition
closed the concern was sold out at pub
lie auction, and the mammoth hotel
that had cost $3.50, 900 before a piece of
furniture was placed in it was knocked
down under the hammer for 81, 500.
The stockholders in the enterprise re-
ceived 67 cents for every dollar they had
invested---a loss of 33 per cent. The
Globe hotel enterprise was one of the
brightest bubbles and most costly fail
ures that ever marked worlds fair.

Hence the Loving Cup.

The best account of the origin Of the
loving cup Is that given by the late
Lord Lyons, formerly an ambassador
In Paris According to his narrative,
King Henry of Navarro while hunting
became separated from his compan-
ions, and, feeling thirsty, called at
wayside inn for a cup of wine. The
serving maid, on handing 1t to him as
he sat on horseback neglected to pre-
sent the handle Some wine was spill
ed over, and his majesty's white gaunt-
lets were soiled. While riding home the
king bethought him that two-handled
cup would prevent a recurrence of this,
so his majesty had a two-handled cup
made at the royal pottery and sent 1t
to the inn. On his next visit he called
again for wine, when to his astonish-
ment the maid (having received in
structions from her mistress to be very
careful of the kings cup presefiSfd it
to him holding it by each of its D ~
At once the happy idea at once struck
the king of a cup with three handles,
which was promptly acted upon, as
his majesty quantity remarked, Sure

Emory storrs lost divorce case by
the wit OF his opponent. He had
brought suit for divorce on behalf of
woman, who asked for possession Of
two children. The husband made Wig

lawyer of ability to defend the suit.
The defense had the best case, so far
as the evidence went, but Mr.. Storrs
made one of his enthusiastically
strong speeches, with an eloquent plea
on behalf of the mother and her two
children. The effect on the jury was

FOOD FOR INDIA
Lots Of Grain, But No Ship to

NEW YORK. May 14.-No arrange
ments have yet been made for forward
ing the $4,000 tons Of corn stored in
Brooklyn warehouses to the plague
stricken districts of India. 1t is mis-
take to suppose that this is a matter
which rests with the custom house au-
thorites. Six weeks ago Congress au-
thorized the Secretary of the Navy to
charter steamship of American regis
try to convey the contributions of food
stuffs to India. The contributions COM
prised chiefly wheat, buckwheat, barley
and rye, which were sold. and with the
proceeds corn was bought. When Con-
gressional authority to hire vessel was
granted, the contributions amounted to
about 1000 tons. Daniel w. Hawthorne,
the Deputy Collector in charge Of the
marine division of the custom house, re-
ported to the Secretary of the Navy
that a vessel could be procured to carry
the grain for $40 ton. The rapid ac-
cumulation of grain made it necessary to
lcok for larger vessel, but one could not
be found There is no American vessel
available that will hold $4,000 tons. The
only vessel that could hold so large a
cargo is the Hamburg-American Line
steamship Pennsylvania. The thing to
be done, apparently, as the Secretary of
the Navy is not empowered to engage
more than one vessel, is to see II the
British authorities will not provide q
vessel to take the larger part of the corn,
while the American vessel takes the re-

A SHARP CROOK
Gets Away With Contents of Regis
tered Letter

SAN FRANCISCO, May 14-A clever
trick by which some bank notes were
extracted from a registered letter has
been discovered by Postal Inspectors
Munroe and Erwin. A registered letter
was recently received from foreign
country by a man living in this country.
The letter was supposed to contain some
bank notes, but the recipient found
that there were none in it. He could not
discover how the notes had been extract
ed, and brought the letter to the Postal
Inspectors. They examined it and
found that the seal was intact and that
the wax placed on the envelope to form
the seal had not been disturbed. 1t was
only after a most careful examination
that the trick was explained. The thief
had washed off all the stamps on the
envelope, including the registration
stamps, had then cut slit in the en-
velope, pulled out the bank notes and
put the stamps back on the envelope
again, completely hiding the cut. 1t is
not known yet where the robbery was
committed, in this country en- route, or
in the foreign country, but close In
yestigation will be made.
