GOOD HEALTH or hO9OeS,

Tramps Generally In Better Coudlti~a ThsA
Amy Other Glass Of People.
Prof. John J. McCook, of Trinity COL
lege, in recent lecture In New Haven
on 'The Pathological Aspect Of the
Tramp Problem" gave the following
interesting facts about the knights of
the road:
New Jersey was the first state to
pass law Furnishing the professional
tramp and at the same time to define
what he was. This was in 1876. Rhode
Island was the next, and Connecticut
came third. A recent writer asserts
that there are about $4,000 tramps in
the United States. This number is =
trife large, although it Is safe to say
that there are over 10000. This Is
larger than the army Of Wellington At
Waterloo. We look on tramps as human
wrecks, as driftwood, and yet the ma
jority OF them are in the prime Of life,
and in better than the average health.
Only 81 per cent. Of the tramps from
whom my statistics were CLEANED
claimed in the dead of winter, while
the grip was raging, that they were in

fill you with envy, malice, and all other
jealous feelings when you hear them
snoring ut midnight.
"Eighty-one per cent. Of tramps de-
clare that they took to the road be-
cause they were out Of = Job, and only
one man because machinery took his
place. Over go per cent. Of the English
tramps are given as taking the road
because of vagrant habits. The major
ity of our tramps are of American birth,
IS per cent. of l ,s42 being of American
parentage and 272 Irish, who come
next. Over 100 out Of 1,73s tramps
could read and write, and they all
spend money on the daily newspapers.
Out of 1889, only 70 are married, 81
are widowers, and 81 have children.
Thirty-cight per cent. say they work
for their food, "a per cent. beg it, and
50 per cent. that they steal it. Over 400
sleep at cheap lodging houses, and near
ly 500 in police headquarterA About
100 sleep In boxes."

players to sit down and play q rubber

ers do not seem to mind these things.
The other day, however, it appears this
very interesting performance was given
once too often. The lions, with deli
cate forbearance, abstained, it is true,
from interfering with the players, but
they went for the fifth man, whom they
doubtless considered superfuous, and
made very short work of him. In spite
of the selfshness that is often, though
most unjustly. attributed to card play
ers, the rubber broke up 1t once.

EARLY FRUIT AND VEGETABLES
Whsre They Come from and What They
Are Selilng Fer.

Whsre They Come from and What They
Are Selling Fer.
The question Is often asked, where
do the early spring fruits and vegeta-
bles come from? Ordinarily the only
satisfaction obtained in answer is a
general statement which confirms a
previous impression that they come
from somewhere in the south. Grad
ually as the season advances this unde-
fined locality approaches us until
finally the soil of our own latitude is
yielding its crops of the luscious appe-
Tiers.
Strawberries and most of the vepeta-
bles begin their movement north from
the territory bordering the Gulf of Mex
leo, says the Chicago Journal. It is from
Louisiana and Mississippi that they are
coming now. Strawberries from Flor
ida were in the market at the end of
Februry, slightly delayed ON account
OF the severe weather there. From
Louisiana they are shipped in twenty
four pint cases, which are disposed of
by commission merchants here at g. so
to S2.75 per case; from Mississippi in
ing now at $3.50 to IS per case, equal to
about 20 cents quart. The demand
for the berries is very great and the
price is considerably in excess of last
year. This advance is said to be due
to the superior quality of the fruit,
which is unusually fine and firm, with
a most pleasing flavor. South Water
street is now receiving two carloads or
more day. Soon the berries will be-
gin to come in larger quantities, as the
crop in Tennessee ripens. Not until
the 10th or 18th of May will strawber-
ries with an Illinois label be obtaina-
BILE.
Cabbages, cucumbers, head lettuce,
radishes and most other vegetables are
shipped north from the neighborhood
of New Orleans. Cucumbers of a very
fine quality, however, have been COM
ing all winter from Boston, where there
is extensive hot-house gardening, and
these New England shipments still
make up over half of the supply on the
market. Hundreds of barrels of head
lettuce are also received daily from
Boston.
Asparagus comes from nearer home.
The largest part of the local supply now
halls from Illinois, especially from
Villa Ridge, Golden, Anna and Moken-
da, on the line of the Illinois Central,
and from Alton. Asparagus begins
coming from Mississippi along in March,
and pushes northward to its extreme
point at Racine, which it reaches early
in June.
Green onions come from Illinois and
Michigan. Bermuda onions are shipped
here from New York.
The trade in all these products of the
season is brisk and at prices from 80 to
so per cent. higher than last year,
which was much below the standard on
account of the uniformly poor quality
Of the years yield. Fruit and vege-
tables this year are arriving in very
good order and offer great promise of
an abundance of the spring delicacies
later on. For the peach crop of the
and, in fact, for those of all j
tree fruits, which have been invariably !
during the past few years, !
, very promising outlook is reported.

Expected Reaction in the Market Did No

AInterialixe.
 New York, June 2.--It looked for @ time after the opening of the stock mar ket to-day as though the looked for re- action from the strength of the last few days had come to pass and the av- craze prices was about to vibrate downward again within the narrow limits which have characterized the short turns of the market for many weeks past under the manipulation Of the professional traders.
 Prices of American securities came lower from London this morning, re- tlecting the disappointing of the British | investing public that Wall street had not responded with more enthusiasm l to the confidence in Americans dis played by the Londoners on Monday. The New York traders had in fact, made up their minds that the market had advanced as far as was usual re- gently and was ripe for reaction and they worked to that end. The gold shipments for tomorrow, small as 1t | is, helped the reactionary tendency. The shipment amounting to only $650,O0 was sufficient to indicate that the price of demand sterling, 4S7, was not yet low enough to preclude gold shipments under the prevailing abnormal demand for gold abroad. The withdrawal of a sum of gold from the sub-treasury for deposit in the clearing house vaults to the account of a bank also served to | offset to some extent the favorable ef- feet of part of the shipment being se- cured from several sources instead Of | from the sub- treasury. The conse- quence of these things was a reaction ary tendency In the market through l the morning hours. Liberal sales of | New Jersey Central marked down the l price of that stock The dealings in the bond market indicated the improved | tone of buying and the broadening ten dency of speculation. The outside buy~ l CTS showed marked preference for the low priced shares of some of the reor- ganized companies class of securities that has been in greatly improved de- mand for several days past. There was slight recession in the final hour on profit taking, but prices stiffened at the close. The notable feature of the rise was that it was unaccompanied py l1oHuOH UuyliS III any VoiuHle ohu was in face of efforts by traders for a reaction, profit taking being in mark ed volume at times, but always well absorved Net gains occurred in all stocks with few, exceptions and ex- tended to a point or over in Rock Island, Northwest preferred, Chicago Gas. Chesapeake and Ohio, Cleveland Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis. Con- solidated Gas, Brooklyn Union Gas and Canadian Pacific, the latter rising two points.
