How He Wakes Up the Tramps.

The policeman who makes the round
of Madison Square Park early in the
morning has duty he rather enjoys.
It is to wake up the tramps and loiter-
ers who sleep on the benches between
rounds" He has employed several
methods of arousing the sleepers. One
of the favorite ways was to walk close
to the benches and tired on their toes.
Another was to rap on their hats with
his club. The latest and most ap-
proved plan, affording more amuse-
ment to the sturdy cop than to the
unhappy tramp, is to hold small bot
tie of ammonia under their noses as he
passes by in the early dawn. This
wakes them up quickly, and most ef
fectively, and the bewildered express
sion on the face of the suddenly
aroused sleeper is real ray of sun
shine to tighten the way of the police
man through day of hard work, such
as conversing with nursemaids, eating
apples and peanuts from the Italians

Mr.. Mcintyre, who for the last twenty
five years has, when not otherwise en-

pounding them into pebbles, which
he has put in the highway. In twenty
five years time he estimates that he
has pounded $4,000 stones and made
them ready for road use. The town
authorities, recognizing the value of
the work, have for several years COM

LOVES PLATFORM.

What's the party? Call it Fate;
Cupid is the candidate;
Hymen is his running mate;
Love the balance of the slate.
This our platform-we deplore
Any useless lovers war;

Hearts united, our decree.
As for syndicates we must
Say monopolies are just,
For each lover will declare
That exclusive love is lair.
Yet in summer-sea-shore plan
Sixteen maids to every man,
But we change the ratio,
At the falling of the snow.

Polls are open every day,
Open early, open late,
Come elect our candidate.

There was a hearing before Chief

today on the defendants petition for g

was the suit brought by the late Mr..

The defendant pleaded In set of a
claim IL had against Mr.. Banigan for
sums taken by him for commissions,
but the defendant had few days after
Mr.. Banigan began his suit begun suit
against Mr.. Banigan to recover the
same commissions. The appellate court
declared the defendants could not. as it
sought to do. maintain two suits for
the same claim.
The case went back 10 the common
pleas division of the supreme court and
the defendant discontinued its suit
against Mr.. Banigan.
Ii was found in the common pleas div
ision that no affidavit Of defence had
been filed as required by the general
laws, so Judge Douglas gave judgment
for the plaintiff for 100000. refusing to
permit the defendant to file rejonder

Advanced on May I.

New York. April 25.-It is learned
says the Journal OF Commerce that on
May the coal sales agents will mark
up prices OF steam sizes OF anthracite
10 to 25 cents per ton. This applies TO
pea and buckwheat. and is due TO the
active demand for these sizes resulting
from the difficulty in obtaining btu
minous coal. Prices OF bituminous coal.
il will be recalled. were recently ad-
vanced 20 cents per ton TO the basis OF
$3.50 per ton I. o. b. compared with a
former price of $3.50. The cause of the
advance was said TO be largely labor
troubles in the Pittsburg district and
the fact that the agents of the bitumin-
Gus coal companies had arranged be-
fore that for all the coal they could
comfortably supply.
