A HOME FOR HOBOES.
THE PRACTICAL PHILANTHROPY OF
"GlAD HAND TOM"

He Is a Friend to All Weary Wanderers
and Is Ever Ready to Aid Them--A Re-
tired Railroad History of His
Unique Enterprise.
In Trenton there is probably the only
tramps hotel to be found anywhere in the
country There, without money and with
out credit, the weary knight of the road
can always find food and shelter, not to
speak of companionship and spiritual con-
ISOLATION. 1t is no mere shanty either, this
tramps' hotel but substantial brick
building of four stories, well heated, well
warmed and with modern cOnveniences.
The proprietor of this institution is
known to the people of the New Jersey
capital as Thomas A. Terradell, but to
the great army of hoboes who drift upand
down the Union be goes by the name of
"Glad Hand Tom " The great majority
know him personally, and those who do
not know him by reputation. There Is
good reason that they should. For the
best part of 90 years Mr.. Terradell gave
much of his attention to cultivating
tramps. For ten years he was an engineer
on the Pennsylvania railroad. He began
on a gravel train, but worked his way up
until he became one of the most trusted
engineers on the road and was given
charge of the big iron monsters that pull
the fast expresses.
Early in his career as a railroad man
MIR. Terradell began to take an interest
in tramps. Thousands of times he has
pulled half frozen and starving wretch
from off the trucks and made him get up
into the cab, where he thawed him out
and fed him from his own dinner pail. 1t
was this habit that gained him the sobri-
quet of "Glad Hand Tom " and the prac-
tice got him into the custom of eating
first two meals and then only one meal
a day Mr. Terradell had way, too, of
talking to the tramps that won their con-
fdence and the ragged creature who had
been warmed and fed in his cab generally
left it after having told the story of his
downfall and promising to try to lead a
more decent life.
Mr.. Terradell has some original theories
about tramps. He does not share the pop
ular impression that they follow the life
of wanderer because they like it. He
actually declares that most tramps will
work and behave themselves if they have a
fair show and are encouraged little.
"All these poor fellows need to make
men of them, he says, "is for us to ex-
tend the right hand of fellowship to them.
| They want to be made to feel that they are
living in the same world that we are in;
that they are not outcasts. We can set a
majority right if we only get down off our
| high horses and give them a hearty shake
of the hand. "
1t was to put this theory into practice
with better effect that several years age
Mr.. Terradell gave up his engine, and tax

BETRAYED By A BELL.



There was q young woman with a mu-
steal ear sitting in a corner of the cable
car. Several times she looked up with Gu
rious surprise as the conductor rang the
bell TO register fares. The bell did not al
ways sound the same. Sometimes it had n
dull, clanking tone, and every now and
then it came out sharp and clear, several
notes higher in the scale. She was de-
mure little creature, with blond frizzes, and
she became 50 interested in the variations
played on the bell that she quite neglected
the paper covered novel which lay in her
lap-a novel which she was evidently not
reading for the first time, for she had open
ed it at random and when she had dropped
it to listen to the bell she never troubled
herself to find the place
But in the course of time she reached
more interesting portion of the work.
There were things that she apparently de-
sired to remember, for she took IA lead pen
Gil from d small bag and began to mark
passages here and there
The old gentleman with white side
whiskcrs who sat opposite her hoped that
it was proper book for young woman to
read, and the angular woman who was
somewhat flurried. owing to an unsuccess-
full effort to ass an out of date soda water
ticket for car fare was sure that 1t WASH t.
She rode almost to the end of the line.
Just before the car finally stopped she took
out a notebook The conductor happened
to come to the front of the car, and he
glanced at what she wrote 1t was the
number of his car
AS she walked toward the railway office
he opened the door that looked ont on the
front platform and said TO the motorman:
Its all up, Jim. told you somebody
would notice the difference in the sound
of those two bells. Somebody was bound
to wonder about it and discover that you
weren t ringing up all the fares in the right
place
The conductors face was very pale, and
his mouth was drawn mt the corners. 1t
was one of the everyday tragedies of life
poverty, temptation, discovery and regret
that came too late

CUBAN DIsSENSIONS.

News comes from Cuba Of serious dis
sensions in the ranks of the Cuban pa
trlots. Gomez is said to be practically
in rebellion against the Provisional Gov
eminent in general. and President
Cisneros. commander in chief of the
Cuban army, in particular, and each side
has an array of partisans. Gomez is
represented as playing, or aspiring to
play, pretty much the role of dictator.
II is stated that he has systematically
ignored the diplomas of the government,
not openly, but quietly, by falling to
appoint the holders of these diplomas
TO commands, and that he is exceedingly
harsh. overbearing, and insulting to his
officers and men.
If these dissensions continue, and
Gomez does not mend his course, no
one need be surprised to see the Cuban
cause lose ground rapidly. Indeed, if
the conditions, are as bad as some OF
the Habana correspondents describe
them, there is reason to fear that a col
lapse of the revolution is not far off. A Gu
ban house seriously divided against itself
would not only ALLEVIATE outside sympa-
thy but prove a more protent factor
than several army corps. in perpetuating
Spanish dominion of the island.
