MANY KINDS
OF BBGGARS.
The Police Are on the
Lookout For Them and
They Must Leave
the City. -..:

Wilmington has boon visited lately bya
horde Of besgars. The police attribute sew
eral small robbsries to tho fraternity.
They use tho same old plea, tout OF
work." Most Of them have papers to
show that they are discharged soldiers,
members of some trade uuion or other
wise entitled to public assistance. Some OF
them are well dressed, with better clothes
and c!enner linen than most respectable
lnboring men can afford
lkSome Of them buttonholea man and take
lin into doorway. where they know the
man will not feel tho hosltancy in giving
that he would experience In public. Some
of the better dressed beggars have'a habit
OF taking the arm OF the man whom they
expcct to 'touoh," walking along tho
rect with him until he gives hood 10
their appeal for money.
III know ought to bo ashamed" said
one of tho latter, 'but am simply starv-
ing. lam gentleman like you. sir. I
have walked the street for three days with.
out bite to cat. Now have como down
to doing what would have Gesplsed in
the days before was thrown out OF work.
There is another kind, that says Say. y
Gully, gimme me dino. Sac? Pm hum
.gry. see? This Is the kind that the aver
age man would be afraid to meet in q dark
alley during total eclips, of Tho moon.
A common kind of Inendicant Is the
one with the palsiod arm or the bandaged
hand. Beggars Of This class have a painful
way OF thrusting their inlrmities under
the public's nose, and tho average man
gives them coin to be rid Of them. To
this class belongs the beggar with tho re-
versible thumb, who twists it out Of joint
and draws 1t aro1nd over the back Of tho
hand before presenting it t. tho admiring
gaze Of the prospective contributor.
There is kind of beggar that deserves
and commands sympathy, and he is often
seen on Philadelphia streets. He has come
in out of the country. looking for work.
lie has been raised on the farm, and it is
easy to tell this from the size of his hands
and feet. He has been unsuccessful In his
search for job Ho is too proud to so
back to tho old folks, and he probably has
not had square meal since no left home.
He Is timid and hesitating about asking
for help, but you can look in his face and
sec honesty wri ten OH every feature. A
Market street man tells of being ap.
preached by one of those men last week.
IL don want any IL onoy, said tie stran.
ger, II want you to take me somewhere
md watch mo cat" Tho Mau to whom
the appeal WINS made gave tho young man
a quarter and forgot tho incident until
yesterday, when n stranger approached
him in u restaurant. "You don't know
me-" said tho other. 'You gave me
quarter the other night when | was hun
cry. I've got n job since and wait to
pay you back"

Street sweepings to the estimated
amount OF three million tons are coll
ls2ted every year in the cities OF the
United States Most of this material
is either used for "flling" or thrown
away; but the department OF agricul-
tIre learns that in some places farm
s-s secure the sweepings for fertilizing
purposes, and that the farmers in such
cases, with few exceptions. report ex-
oellent results. Since the disposition
a. such refuse is sometimes a serious
problem, the fact seems to be worth
consideration on the part of town and
country alike One of our worst faults,
rs a people. is a persistent disregard
Ct the truth that 10 prevent waste IN
all such ways is TO increase wealth.
