TWO DOGS AND A TRAMP.

Chewed Up the seat Of His Trousers and
Then Lscerated Both Legs Painfully
Before They Turned Loose.

A couple OF dogs made il warm for a
tramp from Philadelphia giving his name
as John Cantwell. and now the knight OF
the road is at the Almshouse with his
head and legs bandaged.
Cantwell. as he calls himself. was fairly
well dressed for a tramp. and he looked
like a fellow who had seen better days.
According to his tale Of woe. which he
told In a STRAIGHTFORWARD way 20 the am
bulance surgeon, he was tramping up the
Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac
railroad en- route to Philadelphia. THIS
was about 7.30 o'clock last night When
he got 20 the corner OF Hancock and
Broad streets a negro woman with two
dogs Of the bull terrier order came along
and Cantwell either teased them or made
some remark about their appearance,
which got their anger up.
THE TRAMP STUMBLED.
They started after the tramp In regula-
ton bull-terrier style. He ran as fast as
he could but in some way stumbled
against a railroad tie. and In n moment
the dogs were on him.
They ehewed all the seat OF his trousers
out and then went TO work on the tramps
legs.
II is a wen known fact that bull ter
rjers have no very warm attachment for
tramps gcncraii-. and this was no cNcep-
ton to the rule. Thcy lacerated his left
leg and thigh ma bit his right leg pain

The conference passed the following
resolutions:
Resolved. That the conduct OF the
promoters OF tho Lynchburg convention

Without force or following they arc seek
ing BY holding small and private ncet-
ings TO send delegates TO said cOnven-
ton with tho vain hope OF creating n

AGAINST ANNEXATION.
Twenty Valid Reasons Why we Should
Not Incorporate Hawaii.
Trom the Cleveland Plain Dealer)

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.)
Twenty objections to the annexation
of Hawaii, which offer scope for endless
arguments, are as follows:
1t is unconstitutional, because the gen.
eral government is limited in its powers
to those expressly conferred upon it by
the constitution, The constitution does
not specifically grant the powers to an
mex territory and therefore the power
does not exist.
1t is unconstitutional. because Hawaii
is not colti@.3us to t'1e United States.
1t is unconstituti0Aal, because its in
habitants are not homogeneous with
the people of the United States.
Whether the annexation of non homo
geneous people is constitutional or not,
the population Of Hawaii is unfit for
incorporate into and viii be dangerous
to the American political system.
Hawaii is an outlying territory AMI
in time of war will be source of weak
ness to the United States.
1t will necessitate heavy expenditures
in navy in order to protect Hawaii IN
time of war.
1t will be a forerunner and form a
precedent for unlimited annexation OF
territory.
II is contrary to the Monroe doctrine
to acquire territory beyond the bound
aries Of the American continent.
A large number of Hawaiian voters
have been disenfranchised. No vote
has been taken in Hawaii upon the
question of annexation and it is I'M
American to annex territory without a
popular vote OF IFS inhabitants.
A protectorate will secure the United
States all the advantages which viii ac-
crue under annexation without involv-
ing the country in the responsibilities
of ownership.
1t will be injurious to the best sugar
industry, as Hawaiian sugar will COM
pete with beet sugar raised in the Uni
ted States.
1t will invite the jealousy Of and Gre
ate complications with foreign govern
ment.
The government Of Hawaii consists
of foreign adventures, who have no au.
thority of jurisdiction over the coun-
try.
Annexation will be beneficial to the
sugar trust.
Under the proposed treaty of annexa-
ton the United States assumes the Ha-
waiian public debt without receiving the
means or property with which to pay it
There is leprosy in Hawaii.
The monarchy was overthrown through
the agency Of American troops.
1t is unlikely that the United State
will go to war with any other country
and if it does, and it then wants Ha
wall, there is time enough to take it.
The United States already have
enough territory, peoples and problems

his life for my sake shall find it." 1t is
a commonplace of thought that life is
short and surely we all should know 1t,
for it is taught everywhere In nature
and life from the bright winged ephe-
mera that futter about in the golden
sunshine after the spring rains, to the
ever tolling bells and the nodding
plumes of the black horses of death.
Throughout all literature, too, swells
the solemn imagery wherein life is liken-
ed to the flying cloud, the stuff of dreams,
the tale that is told, the fleeing shadow
and the vapor that vanisheth.
Astounding life such as runs in your
veins and mine seeks ever to put this
aside, to shut it from view and to have
none of it. but it is ever so, young gem
tlemen, and those of us who stand here
to-day in the pride of manly strength
shall shortly, as time runs, be other
rs our noble friend is and the lit
tie children now playing IN the heids
shall stand in our places doing the
rough work of the world.
One may we'll ask then, what is the
thing that shall endure Away and one
may we'll answer-the clean, well-spent
life and hearty, honest work.
The thing most worthy to be learned
from the life of our comrade is this
there is dignity and even glory in all
upright life however hidden from public
gaze and any bit of good work into
which heart and blood and nerve have
gone is, by that token, immortal. II a
man will but work, however various or
lowly that work may be, whether upon
the bare canvas, the unhewn stone, the
human mind or heart or merely rough
labor of the hands, there shall come a
splendor into his days and his work
shall live.
The stranger passing through Memo
rial Hall where we have ranged our
dead is shown this tablet and that and
told, there is the jurist, the statesman,
the soldier or the ruler"
The tablet bearing the name of David
CASTOR Worth shall commemorate n
Christian gentleman who lived the good
life and did not ever fail in his work,
and his fame shall vie with them all.

CHRIST AS A NEWSPAPER MAN.

"Christ as a Newspaper Man." was the
subject of the Rev. Lewis Il. Pease's
discourse on Sunday night at the
Church of Our Father, in Brooklyn, N.
Y. After pointing out the evils of ire
sponsible journalism, the preacher said:
"Christ would recognize the press as
an enlightener Of the human mind. The
modern newspaper is a daily school. Its
pupils far outnumber those Of the public
schools. It's teachers are numbered
among the most faithful workers. It's
curriculum covers every important sub
ject in the civilized world. Surely, the
is the poor mans college, and
sometimes wonder if people fail to fully
it's great worth because they
obtain it at so trifing a cost. 1t is the
newspaper that turns the searchlight of
public opinion upon abuses of every
kind. The newspaper is the open court,
where the public listen to the story of
anyone who is wronged, and where
public opinion sits in judgment upon the
wronged individual or the corporation"
