Washington, June 26.-The chief de.

often warning that the officer is near and
thus acts as a give-away.
They all agree to one thing, however,
that to have dog attached to one is rather
a sign of good luck.
But cats-every policeman who finds him

inclined to say as in the litany, Good Lord

are told of his power in this line that would
put In the shade the sinister qualities of
even Poe's celebrated black cat. The per-
sonal experience of one policeman alone will
show how all tcmmieS ana tabbies are re-

He was followed one night on Perry street
by a cat that refused to be driven away

missed by negro that he attempted to ar

for his company, and still again on the fol-
lowing night he was badly beaten by
prisoner that he tried to take to the bar
racks. He is so firmly convinced that cats
bring bad luck, and that to hurt the animal
makes the hOodOo much the worse that
he absolutely refused to kill cat that had
been crippled by an accident and which
doctor called on him to shoot The doctor
derfdfng such fears as superstition killed
the animal himself and a week later COM

Another story of the results that follow

condition Of the tobacco plantations through
out the island with view of locating
there.
Cuba has really exported compare

cut down to almost nothing. and it will be
at least another year before the island can
turn out anything like the amount of leaf

TRAMES FLOCK TO CHICAGO,
| 1t is the FavOrite Winter Resort of
| the Professional Travellers.


From the Chicago Tribune.
The tramps are coming back to Chicago
to go into winter quarters. 1t used to be
that with the approach of snow and ice
the tramp winged his flight with the wild
duck to the sunny southland The tramp
would explain his migration by saying he
did not like snow balls as a steady diet.
But the tramp found that while there was
plenty OF sunshine and balmy breezes dur
ing the winter months In the southland yet
sunshine and balmy breezes were also far
from tattening and that the opportunities
for picking up sustenance during the weary
winter months were much better in a big
city than in the south a large proportion
of tramps continue to go south yet with
the coming of the first frost. but a con-
stantly increasing number each year turn
their wandering footsteps toward the big
cities. where bed in the cheap lodging
houses may be had for dime and where
phi!anthropic citizens with dimes may be
had the boulevards.
The tramps that come to Chicago in the
winter do not remain at permanent ad-
dress during the cold months. Some of
them live IN the Easements of deserted
buildings and others occupy quarters in
box c. RS on the sidetracks in the railroad
yards. In yard in 18th street are large
number of abandoned traction engines that
were used last winter by the tramps as
their homes. Old street cars showed out
behind car barns and left to decay are also
quietly confiscated by tramps and used until
the barn boss drives them away.
On extremely cold nights. when the box
cars and the traction engines are cherries
and gloomy. the tramps walk the streets
until they collect the price of a bed
at lodging house, and failing to raise the
necessary amount they take refuge in the
police stations. The policemen send them
down stairs to the big room in front of the
cells. They spread newspapers on the floor,
and then lie down and sleep peacefully un-
til morning. Every genuine hobo carries
