A Whalebome Arbor

CAPTAIN John H. DevereauX has re-
fused a cash offer of $500 for the jaw

II years ago.
The Jaws measure 12 feet each, and

Island made entirely of the bones from
the whale The house is prcttily ar
ranged and the vines which cover it
give it n most handsome appearance.
Tea was served in this little house the
other afternoon and the fact was
brought out then that Captain Dever-
eaux had just refused the offer for the
bones.
The whale was considered the largest
of it's kind that ever drifted to south
ern waters.
Captain DevercauX is the supervising
architect for the government at
Charleston and it was his idea to build
the arbor with the most artistic effect.
Back Of the main entrance the ribs
have been put up as a covering and q
support for the vines and the large
bone of the whales tail is used as the
throne seat in the arbor.
The bones are thoroughly bleached

ent towns and raiding the hoboes'
camps along the railroad property with
the aid Of the local police force in the
different places. half O hundred
tramps have been arrested and sent to
Jail, and number of their established
camping spots along the line have
been broken up.
The problem Of dealing with this
nuisance is a less serious one for the
Eastern roads than it is for those OF
the West. In the first place, in this
part Of the country the tramps are dis
tributed over great many lines. In
the second place, towns are closer to-
gether, and it is always possible to
turn ,the hoboes over to local magis-
trates to be dealt with. In the West,
however, where the towns, are further
apart, the question Of what to do with
the hobo after he is caught is often q
grave and difficult one, and some Of
the Western roads have adopted the
policy of permitting the tramps to ride

men would jump off the train as soon

to allow them to do so, rejoin the

The method generally adopted, by
the railway companies In Kidding their
lines of tramps, and the one which is
being followed by the Central road at
the present time Is that Of soaring the
great number of hobOes away from
the line by making examples OF few
OF their number. The Central employs
on its Hudson River division four de-
tectIves who are empowered to make
arrests In any county of the State
through which the line extends.
These men are the general officers OF
the detective force, and in the per-
formanco Of their duty they are able
to call upon other railway employees
who hold local commissions IN the va-
rious towns along the line. Since the
order was issued to use more stringent
