MEN OF THE HIGHWAY.
Tramps Again on Their Feet, So to
Speak.

Ira mpS AGAIN on 1he1r rect, so TO
Speak.
| Now that the highways are being opened
| up the tramps are again on the go. Many
of them are passing through this city
some going south for fear of another storm
and others, believing the winter is over, are
going north. Some few have been disap-
| pointed in not being able to go to the Dis
| trict workhouse, to remain until the open
ing of spring. Others who find they AN
| not soon be sent to the workhouse are not
| in hurry to leave, and would, perhaps, re-
main several weeks were it not that they
are afraid of contrac ting the smallpox.
| There one sorely disappointed self
| invited guest of the city at one of the police
| stations yesterday. He was young man,
not more than twenty-five years old, and
| had been here before. Earlier in the sea-
! son he had spent month on The farm.
| Being well satisfied with life there, he re-
| turned to the city after months absence
and requested that he be returned to that
institution.
you can't go there now" one of the of
ficers informed him.
"Why?' he asked, showing his dsap-
pointment.
"There are several cases of smallpox
down there" he was told, and The officer
added that he might get the disease.
Smallpox" muttered the young man.
"I'n see you later" and he left for another
city.
Petty offenders against the District Grdi-
nances seem to be taking advantage of the
present condition of affairs. They are in
dulging in intoxicants, and are making no
effort to conceal this and other violations.
George Brown, who works about the oys-.
ter wharf, was one of those who got drunk
and defied the police.
You can't do anything with me-" he said
to Policeman Maddox, when the latter ar
rested him. They've got smallpox in the
workhouse, and you can go to -p'
In addition to this Brown was guilty Cf
other gross conduct which the officer could
not overlook.
Il don't remember what happaned,"
Brown answered, when arraigned in court
this morning. Yesterday was the first
time l had drank anything for four months,
and it went to my head"
The case was continued for three days,
by which time the court hopes the provision
for male prisoners will have been COM
peted.
Joseph Smith, colored, was in court as an
alleged suspicious person. Detective Hern-
don arrested him last night because he was
trying to sell big silk handkerchief to a
hackman for forty cents. Smiths story
was that he paid fifty cents for it, and then
wanted to sell it because he needed the
money worse than he did the handkerchief
| He was committed to Jail for sentence.

A Hall in the Schools.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
I was invited by the board of trade 10
make an address at the Banneker building
on the occasion of the celebration of Wash
ingtons birthday. 1 accepted the invita-
ton and was on hand at the time and place.
There was only one thing in connection
with the exercises which seriously marred
my pleasure. 1t was the fact that they
were held in the hail upon which the rooms
open, and that all the scholars were COM
PEELED to stand during the entire time.
In every school building there ought 10
be a room provided, sufficiently large.
where the children can be gathered and
seated. 1t is impossible to obtain and hold
their attention when they are thus COM
PEELED to stand This is a matter which de-

Mass Meeting of Labor Men.

A mass meeting open to the public was
b Id last evening in the hall at No. 12o4
Pennsylvania avenue northwest, under the
auspices of the Building Trades Council.
President John p. Healy called the meeting
to order and Mr.. e. L. Lomax was elected
to preside on the occasion.
The large audience present was addressed
by Messrs. John 2. Healy, Milfed Spohn,
William Silver, John Wolf, II. L. Streb and
J L. Feeney. The principal subject of dis
cussion was the benefits of organization.
and, incidentally, the eight-hour bill which
IS pending in the Senate.
A program which comprised songs, reci-
tations and instrumental music was rem
dered. Those who took part were D. A.
Dougherty, S. McIlveen, Jas. +. McHugh,
II L. Shackford and others. Banjo music
was also performed by Messrs. GOmpers
and Statesman. The committee having the
affair in charge was composed of Z. L.

large share of their business.
The entire cessation Of communication
south and west for several days was one
of the inconvenience of the flood. Many
physicians thought an epidemic of disease
would result by reason of the deposits left
by the receding waters. Happily, however,
this did not come to pass.

Nnrrow Cribs for Corn.

All the rules for economizing space
have to be broken in cribbing damp
corn. We can get more room in a
square or octagon building with the
same area outside than in long, mar
row one. But for drying out corn we
count the space next the outside most
valuable. The crib must be wider at
the top than it is at the bottom, and,
besides, it's roof ought to project as
much as is safe, and have cave troughs
conducting all the water that falls on
the roof to the side, where it will
most likely be blown away from the
building instead - towards it. OF
course corn crib thus put up is ex-
tremely liable to be blown over unless
it is propped well on each side. Where
an expensive corn house can lie af-
forded, it is we'll to make ~ wide
enough so that it will hold to rows
of cribs with the sides vertical on the
outside, but shelving wider at the top
towards the centre on each side. We
know such corn crib built near 40
years ago, which, except that it has
had to be new rooted once or twice, is
still in good condition. 1t was set on
posts in the ground, each capped with
a projection SO as to keep out rats and
mice. This part of the scheme proved
failure. Rats or mice bred in this
corn crib just as they would if it set
on q wall. 1t would have been better
if a wall had been put under it with
five or six-feet deep cellar that could
hoya haen usad 40 n pionan Drobo II blv
when the oak posts rot out the corn
crib will be raised and such cellar
put under it. American Cultivator.

Reasons for Building a Granary,

l had been using an old fashioned
crib, such as used to be seen on al
most every farm. 1t was on my place
when bought the farm, and 1 did
not at first realize how much it would
cost me to keep it there; but a few
years experience taught me that it
was the most expensive way that could
possibly be advised for storing corn,
although upon posts. I never could
keep rats, mice and squirrels out.
lined it with wire cloth, at consider
able cost of time and money, and that
did not avail anything. Every year
bushels upon bushels of grain were
destroyed. 1 have no doubt whatever
that far more corn was wasted by ver-
min than it would have cost me to put
up good granary.
Finally l awoke to the sense of the
luxury L was supporting in order to
fatten lot of rats and mice, and one
day laid siege to that corn crib and
demolished it utterly. Then L got
out timbers SxS for good granary.
The posts rest on stones, and it is
four feet from the bottoms of the posts
to the sills. The plates at one end
project two feet, and Stats slant back
ward for corn department. The
floor is of matched stuff The sides
are cribbed with hard pine, matched.
An alley runs through the building
from the door back to the corn-crib.
Along the sides are arranged the bins
for oats, buckwheat, shelled corn, etc.
These are fitted out with movable
boards in front, so that they may be
taken out as the grain is lowered in
the bin, ID put in at threshing time.
If any OF the bins should not be
needed, by taking out the boards in
front good place is provided for stor-
ing bags of bran, or barrels. My
corn-sheller also finds corner there.
The upper parts of the posts, below
the sills, are neatly wrapped with tin
to keep out mice. An easy pair of
steps, which may be raised OF lowered,
furnish means of access.
never saw but one mouse in this
granary since 1 built it, and this was
carried in in pile of bags. L had no
peace until l got the cat and helped
him to catch the mouse. Since then
every bag that goes into the granary
is carefully examined. Mice may be
carried in also in baskets of stuff.
This may, and should, be carefully
guarded against. OF all the buildings
[ have put up, and the number is not
small, none suits me better than my
granary. e. J.. Vincent in The Epit-
omist.

A Device for the handkerchief.

1t has long been question with
women and matter of anxiety, just
what to do with their pocket handker-
chiefs nowadays. Even the new wom-
an must have handkerchief, but
new woman's gown is fashioned with
but little regard for the safe keeping
of this very necessary article OF ap-
parel.
The tight fitting skirt permits of no
old time bulging and handy pockets.
Such an introduction into the sheath
like fit of the fashionable skirt would
be something entirely unheard of and
unallowable, and yet so far no one
seams to have contrived substitute
for the necessary square OF linen
which must be carried by rich and
poor alike.
Some maidens contracted the habit
of tucking the dainty, fimsy, lace
trife up the sleeve. Then it became
the fad to tuck it into the purse, but
this, too, was soon abandoned, as it
proved ruinous to any handsome pock-
etbook.
There is never want but there is
found a supply. for it, and so in
the case of the handkerchief holder.
The difficulty has been met and con-
quered, apparently, and the new belt
comes forth with new clasp attach
ment. 1t is made of oxidized or fill
gree silver, and is worn on the right
side, directly under the arm.
The favorite handkerchief is made
of the thinnest, sheerest material pos
sible, and is finished with narrow
hem. One corner is embroidered with
large and heavy monogram, the
larger the better. 1t is to be worn
fastened directly in the centre of the
the belt clasp and tucked in so that
the corner containing the monogram
shows plainly. For the patriotic girl
there are handkerchiefs embroidered
with regimental decoration or the
stars and stripes, while for the girls
