TRAMP SMITH AND HIS DOGS.
They Are Trained Beggars and They
Easily Get n Living for Him and

Them.
From the ST Louis Republic.
Kirkwood was entertained yesterday by
a tramp who was a most peculiar speci-
men, He had a lot of dogs which he had
collected during his trip from Kansas City
east and he had these trained as expert
beggars. In this way the animals secured
his and their own food.
The dogs would not carry off any honors
at the dog show. In all there were six OF
them. One might have been three or tour
generations back a water spaniel. TWO
others were small short-haired dogs thai
might be classed as fox terriers. The other
three animals were larger and had leen
picked UP along the Missouri Pacific some
where between Jefferson City and Kirk
wood.
The tramp, who gave his name as
Charles Osborne Hernsley Smith to dis
tinguish himself, ne said from other
Smiths, struck Kirkwood about noon yes
terday. The dogs filed after him in line,
like so many soldiers. If one of t5em
saw local animal and attempted to
break formation in order 10 make friends
the tramp would turn on him in severe
manner, and say: Right dress" The
dog would line up like Well-oehaVeu PHI
vate.
Charles, Etc, Smith came to Kirkwood
station and sat him down outside. The
dogs all ranged about him. After resting
a while the queer party started out TO get
dinner The way this was done was sim
pie enough The tramp would go to a
butcher shop. There, after forming the
animals in line he would give the signal
and all would bark in unison. The dogs
would bark standing up and then bark sit
ting down, then all turn around together
and bark
This sort of thing soon attracted
crowd and these were so well pleased tha1
the dogs or the tramp did not LACK for
food. Smith seems as peculiar man as
his mastery over animals would imp'y-
He is young and talks IS of he had had
GOOD education. He referred to his vagrant
existence as a mode of amusement. In
casual way he said he had been all sorts
of things. but had failed to find any en-
ioyment in making money, and had there
fore quit trying.
He remained about Kirkwood until about
Q O'Clock. Then he and his queer family
walked leisurely east along the railroad
track ca. lrl

SPIRITS GO OFF AFTER CLOSE.
LARGE SALES REPORTED ON THE
BASIS OF ISL CENTS.

The Weakening Tendency Apparent
Since Saturday Does Not Make the
Decline a Surprise-ROsins Firm,
ut an Advance of Cents on Moot

graphic Markets. az
Morning News Office, May a,--The fea-
ture of the local markets to-day was the
decline in spirits turpentine after the
closing. On sales of round lot the mar
ket dropped from 40 10 4S1a cents. About
all the offerings were cleaned up at this
price, at least, everything that could be
obtained. With The exception of an ad-
vance of five cents On N resins were firm
and unchanged Transactions were in sat-
isfactory volume.
The feature of the outside markets was
the decline in New York futures, which
went off sharply as to some positions 1t
was stated the drop was due largely to
the influence of private advices to the eff
feet that Liverpool was on the verge of
a collapse, which caused longs TO get out
OF the wet. The reports state that some
conservative buying was done in anticl-
patton of a reaction. For some time past
the good weather conditions in the South
have created a strong bearish sentiment,
which makes the declines less disappolnt-
ing. The wholesale markets were steady.
Advances in sugar were reported at the
Board of Trade. The following resume
of the different markets will show the
tone and quotations at the close to-day:

COTTON.

The interest about the Cotton Exchange
to-day conferred in the declines in the New
York future market, which went off
sharply as to some positions. The good
weather has caused continued bearish re-
ports TO go from the crop sections for
some time past, and the fact sentiment
inclined this way viii make the drop less
disappointing. The direct cause of the
declines, however, was liquidation by
longs, said to be due to private advices
that Liverpool was on the verge of a col
lapse.
The following We're the official spot quo

Harbor Notes.

Head winds and poor coal were the
causes of the Australia's hardness yes
terday. She left San Francisco on
time with small passenger list, and
about 1900 tons of general merchan-
disc. Quite a crowd gathered on the
Oceanic dock to see the popular boat
make her landing and welcome return
ing friends. 1t is the first time in sew
eral months that everybody was allow
ed to go on the wharf and one was
almost allowed to think it was the old
days again.
The Grant got out of the harbor Just
as the Australia entered. The big trans
port waited for the Australia, but when
the vessel from the Coast did not ap-
near on time the Grant left. The men
on the Government vessel passed with
in a few hundred yards of three days
later news but did not get any. Inc
Miowera, from Brisbane and Sydney,
arrived late yesterday afternoon and
docked at Pacific Mail wharf. When
il was found that there were twenty
seven cases of plague in the hospital
at Sydney when the Miowera left, II
was decided that no freight from that
port would be allowed to be landed
here. She had 120 tons of Australian
freight, but nothing but ice-house
goods from Brisbane were landed. The
Miowera took about a dozen saloon
passengers for Victoria and Vancouver
from this port. She got away shortly
after midnight. A new addition to the
Island fleet arrived last night. Shortly
after O'Clock the schooner Eclipse
from San Francisco after a smart rur
of sixteen days, was reported off Dia
mond Head. She anchored off port a.
1870 O'Clock. Her commander, Captain
Henningsen, is well pleased with thu
new craft and she certainly Is an &C
ceptable addition to the fleet now en-
gagged in the Island traffic. The Eciips'
