comfortable clothing, but she said she had
no stockings on her feet, and cried when
she told OF c.
There We're very few picnic parties in
the OOds adjacent to this city yesterday,
and there were 10 crumbs left over for
wandering, unemployed tourists to ap-
propriate.
Ior this and other reasons the tramps
poured into the city yesterday from every
direction, and engaged the best efforts of
the Municipal Lodging House, the Central
Union Mission, ard the several police sta
tons in their accommodation. TINS city
is at present the halfway Ioint in the
travels of the wandering fraternity.
TWO great currents Of unemployed hu-
manty are surging back and forth through
the city The directions OF these dual
currents are from the northwest to the
southeast and vice versa.
There mas been considerable speculation
aboiit the police court the past few days
as 10 the reason why Newport News is
given in so many instances as the point
from which prisoners charged with va
grancy have arrived in this city.
The cause assigned at the lodging house
for this phenomenon is that there has
been spread broadcast throughout the west
the idea that an unlimited amount OF
work lies in waiting at Newport News to
make glad the heart OF the would DC
workman.
Hence it is that from the centers Of iron
interests, as well as other sections OF the
country. have flocked workers in iron and
artisans in other lines, together with la
borers galore, to Newport News.
But it appears that certain iron ship
building material there is under eOndemna-
ton, and that, in consequence, the hum OF
busy industry at that point has ceased
for d time And so it las come about that
