A FREE PASSAGE BACK.
The Tramp Explains the Mistake and
Wants to Do the Fair Thing.

He was standing in front of a scalp
ers ticket office in Clark street, and it
was one of the bitterly cold days of
last week. To him appeared a citizen.
| The citizen would have passed the
soiled bum, but the latter was too quick
for him. Annexing himself to the arm
CT the man. who appeared to be more
favorite of fortune than himself, he
told the tale of sorrow and got hur-
ried dime.
Twenty minutes later, the bum hav-
ing appealed 10 twelve other men in
the meantime, the first donor appeared
again, coming FROM the same direction
as before. The mendicant hurried out
TO greet him once more.

Didn't l give you a dime a little while
ago?"
Why, n~no," said the other dubious

Not long since they went to the theater

"Bromer," said Dromer the next day,

best scheme l ever had, old man, and
now it's busted. One night when we
I were first married l pretended to be
asleep, just as a joke and muttered a
few words. My wifes ear was near to
my lips in an instant, and she was
asking me whether 1 ever loved any

Sixth-street Methodist Church that
was menace to life and limb. No at
tention was paid to the matter until
last year, when renewed ;insistence by
the Record Union" that the exits be
corrected convinced the church author
tiles that action should be taken. The
result was a remodeling of the entrance
way to the church that cured the evil
everybody is wondering why the en-
trance was not properly modelled in the
first instance, when it has been demon
strated that the present construction is
the only correct one.
The Metropolitan Theater will not
hold more people than very frequently
jam into the Congregational Church,
yet with its by no means model exits,
it has greatly better means for dis
charge of an audience than has the
church. 1t has four aisles below and
four above, two front, one side, two rear
and two gallery exits, one distinct from
that discharging into the general lobby.
The Clunie Opera House has no greater
seating capacity than the Congrega-
tional Church, but it has five aisles, on
one floor and four on another, large
lobby, a twenty foot exit hall from four
broad doors. two rear and two side exits,
all broad and sufficient, making it adj
mirably fitted for quick discharge of an
audience The First Baptist and St.
Pauls Churches are we'll supplied with
exits far separated, and all provision for
easy discharge of a congregation. SO,
too, the Cathedral aisles are broad and
it's exits many and easy though most of
them are at one end of the building.
There is no reason whatever why the
danger that has so long been trified
with at the Congregational Church
should be longer permitted. That build
ing is, as stated, the chief concert hall
and lecture room of the city and is used
very frequently. 1t is spacious, well
situated, we'll ventilated, has fine acous-
tic properties, and is popular; but in the
way of exits for a large audience it IS a
death trap. and in the practice of seat
ing it with loose chairs, its officers VIC
late the plain and express prohibition
Of the law. The question is with the
authorities whether the theaters shall
be required as they are, to comply With
the ordinances and the churches go
scot free.
Not only should the law regarding the
placing of chairs in the aisles be en-
forced, but the officials of the Congre-
gational Church should be required TO
provide better exits and more Of them
for that structure, or else be refused
permission to gather great bodies of
people in the structure. Being thus
plainly warned let the consequences of
further neglect rest where they may.

some weeks in arranging for this in

that there shall be an exceptionally

ests of rural jewellers and agriculture
generally. they are open to all people,
and the desire is that everyone should
engage in them. The Institutes never
tons; they are devoted wholly to en-
largement Of general intelligence, and
are in the strictest sense to educational
matters. They have a social element
also that is very beneficial They
ought to interest business men, edu-
Gators, and indeed all people who wish
to learn, to gain knowledge from the
experience of others, and to receive IN
formation concerning the advance of
science.
