From Good Words.

The secret societies are of all kinds
Many are trade unions as simple as those
in this country. Others are of a political
character, and seek the overthrow of the
government Others, again, are merely
aggregations of thieves and murderers
combined for mutual protection. In their
origin these societies were laudable and
Europe has not been without bodies Of
the same character. 1t was the impossi-
biity of getting justice at the hands Of
officials that led to the formation of Sc
cret vigilance committees all over the en-
pire. These became very powerful in
time, and then their Observation-Disclosures

the wider the membership the more

Sometimes these societies get up fights,
when at the signal-the beating of the
gong in a special manner-peaceful citizens
will be seen to rush from their shops,
armed with murderous looking tridents
swords spears-often enough made out OF
bamboo, with the tip sharpened and har-

the fight may last for days, and be char

propeller There have been several in
stances in which tramps with these extra
propellers have just seaped destruction
in heavy weather. A little British tramp
that came into New York from the Medi-
terranean several years ego had a spare
propeller made fast between decks aft.
One night, when she was within a few
days of Sandy Hook, plunging and rolling
in cyclone, the propeller broke from
its lashings. and began laundering about
the deck. The only illumination aboard
ship was by means of flickering kerosene
lamps. The skipper and several of his
crow went down into the gloomy space
between decks and made an effort to
/ check the cratic flight of the three
winged iron monster.
They were armed with wooden and iron
bars and pieces of dunnage, which they
tried to use as levers. 1t was difficult to
keep the ships head up in the swell She
persisted in dropping OFF and every time
she rolled the demon of a propeller rum
bled across the steel deck, to port or
starboard threatening to smash through
the ships side. The skipper sent one of
his men to the bridge to tell the officer in
charge to TRIP to keep the ships head up
the movements of the propeller being less
dangerous while the ship was pitching but
she wouldn't answer her helm. The mass
of metal stopped at times just long enough
10 allow the skipper and his adventure
some men to get within reach of it, Then
1t stirred like a sentient thing, and an
peared to spring at them. They saved
themselves from injury by jumping aside
or leaping over it. AT last as the shin
lurched heavily TO port, the propeller
whred down the inclined deck and
smashed against the side One of its
blades went through a plate; it hung for
a moment against a rib of the ship; then.
loosening itself as the ship rolled and
heeled to starboard, il bowled athwartship
again. A fountain of sea water spurted
through the hole made by the propeller
blade as the tramp rolled to port again
and the propeller slid that way "A few
more holes in the ships side would have
caused her TO take in so much water that
she would have been in danger of founder
ing, and the skipper began to wish that
the propeller had gone all the way
through and dropped into the sea.
There was one passenger aboard tbs
tramp, a stout young fellow who had ex-
perience as a cowboy on the Texas plains.
He had heard the booming of the spare
propeller, and he went TO the skipper and
volunteered to check il in it's mad course
At first it revealed itself only dimly 10
him. a huge, batlike shadow, under the
faint and unsteady glow of the kerosene
lamps. After the cowboy had become
somewhat accustomed to the gloom and
had spent few moments lodging the

their chances were best in overcrowded

is a characteristic of out-of-works the
world over They pass by the places

A word in conclusion in regard TO what
can be done to eliminate such characters

the unemployed. They are not represen-
tative unemployed men in the sense IN

this class constitutes a much larger pro-
portion of all who are without employ

Can the Railroads solve the Prob

Their obvious love of travelling and the
temptation which the railroads now offer
than make it clear to me that the first
thing 10 be done is to render this easy
and eratuitous transit impossible. On
certain railroad lines west of Pittsburg,
thanks to a well organized railroad police
force. this is already accomplished, ana
towns which were formerly visited in
droves by these rovers are now rid Of
their presence as well as that of tho
professional tramp. What one railroad
company can do others can achieve also,

ton in this matter a great many gay

he admitted that some have played with
tramping so long that they can never set
lie down to serious work again, and they
will probably continue to wander about
on the turnpikes after they have been
driven off the railroads; but the loss of
their railroad privileges will have a very
different effect on the younger members
of the profession" who will decide, in all
probability, that steady work is better
than walking the high roads
For those who continue TO take up with
