HIS GLORY DINMED.
Only Colored Veteran o
the Second Given His
Discharge.

Little Jimmy Sargent, otherwise
known as SNOWFALL" the mascot of
the Second regiment, is experiencing the
troubles of a regular soldier though not
at present in the service. Recently he
strolled into this city after a sojourn
through the south and his native city,
Washington. He secured employment
with Landlord Robert Kessell at the
City Hotel, and entered upon his duties
with his vim and dash which he dis
played while with the Second regiment
and was in a fair way of ultimately
owning the hotel.
But luck did not come Jimmy's way,
and he has received bobtail from Kes-
sells service. A
His discharge papers read that he
was given permanent leave Of absence,
for good and sufficient reasons, and HIS
character was rated as fair.
Snowfall, as he is styled by his COM
lrades of the days of the Spanish war,
was conducting the hotel along very
satisfactory lines until 1t was up to him
TO wash the windows This the veteran
of the Santiago campaign considered
beneath his dignity, but he went about
his duties willingly. Other veterans got
SNOWFALL into trouble, which resulted
iii his undoing. TIE was perched outside
of one of the windows of the City hotel
the other day industriously washing
away at the windows and putting a
gloss upon them that made them resent
Bile mirrors in a crystal maze.
A veteran of the days WREN Jimmy
ate bareback and pork in the trenches
before Santiago happened along, and
spying him on his high perch, asked
him when he struck town. That was
enough for the loquacious Jimmy, end
he Immediately entered into converse
ton with his ex-comrade in arms.
The conversation, continued for min
utes which heightened into hours. jim
my not being inclined to let go, the
veteran on the sidewalk staying with
him. Landlord Kessell inquired how
long the confab was to last, and James
being in a sauey mood, answered in no
respectful tone. This angered the owr-
er Of the hosiery and he told the guile
less James that he could pack up his
clothes and go. He also stated that he
didn't care if he never came back
which latter remark Jimmy took very
much to heart. He always did have

THEY WORK ON SUNDAY.
People in Pond and Winter Streets Want
Holy Day Observed.

-
People living in the vicinity of Pond
and Winter streets are up in arms
against some of their reighbors who in
sist on carrying on the rag business and
other things around that vicinity on
Sundays, and some of them propose to
call on Chief of Police James M. Dren-
nan and have the matter looked up.
One resident of Winter street has al
ready called to see the chief of police,
but he was not in his office and as soon
as he returns from his fishing trip he
will be informed of the practice of this
class Of people living in that neiShbor-
hood who make a practice of violating
the Sabbath.
For at least a year past men have re-
ceived licenses to open rag shops around
Pond and Grace street without any
trouble and property owners think that
the license board should use more dis
elimination in granting licenses for the
establishment of rag shops.
1t is claimed that in several OF the
houses in that section rags are piled up
in the living rooms, and If fire should
get a hold there it would be an easy
matter for property to be destroyed
with a big loss.
One of the property owners in CONVEX
sation with a Spy man said that ne
knew of several~houses in the neighbor-
hood where rags were piled in tene-
ment houses and kept there for weeks
at time until the owner got enough
together to warrant a disposal of them
to wholesale dealers. "Of course 1t is
matter that is of vital importance to
every property owner in that section
and at the same time it is an eyesore
to the neighborhood and greatly deprec-
iates the value OF that district as resi-
dental section. We have called the at
tention of the officer on the beat to the
matter but it still stands az it has al
ways stood and these people who deal
in rags work the same on Sunday get
ting rid of their product as they do on
any other day.
IF the license board are going to
grant licenses to keep rag shops they
should grant them outside the city ana
not in the heart of a residential sec

Childish Heart.
After all the happiest people are
those whom some other people call
mere children grown old" There is
much in the natural practices of chill
dren in seeking enjoyment which
grown up persons might well initiate
One of the pleasures that is dearest
to the childish heart is going to cir
Gus Whatever objections that may
have been urged against the circus up
on moral grounds is now entirely elimi-
mated from all the responsible shows
The prejudices of the religious classes
against the circus have been worn
away by the progress of thought which
rejects the theory that man was placed
by his Maker on earth for the sole
purpose of distressing the flesh. The
religion of hate and fear has very
largely given way TO the religion of
love and hope.
These reflections are caused by the
approaching visit to this city of the
Adam Forepau'gh and Sells Brothers
consolidated circuses, menageries, hip
podremes, etc 1t is a first-class gilt
edged concern all the way through if
the newspaper reports do not exagger-
ate it's virtues.
