A CONFIRMED yAGRANT.
Thirteen Year-Old New York Boy Re-
fuses to Become Respectable.

New York, July 1d.-William Brewer
OF 2S7 Sixth street. Jersey City, has
given up in despair. The Hudson coun-
ty officials and the Jersey City police
force say he has done everything a
father could They, too, confess that
a problem is over their heads. The
problem is an understood, innocent-look
ing boy, George, aged Is years, and Mr..
Brewers youngest son by his first mar
rfage, the most pictureSquely bad young
ster New Jersey has ever known.
1t will appear incredible. but for nine
years little George Brewer has been an
irreclairnable yagrant and thief For
nine years his family, public order and
organized charity have been at work on
him. At each attempt little George
Brewer weeps silently and pretends to
repent. At the first opportunity there
after he decamps and becomes a ju-
venfle tramp. again adding to his record
Of thefts.
Twenty-four times has he actually
been arrested, and the number of &C.
casions his offenseS have been passed
over for HIS fathers sake or because
been innumerabIe. The only punishment
that has had the slightest effect on
him has been dressing him in girls
clothes.
Warden Warren of the Hudson coun-
ty almshouse on Snake Hill devised this
plan, and It worked like magic. While
in a petticoat and checked apron, in
stead of the brown jeans the boys at
this almshouse wear, little George was
a paragon. For fear or the hated gar
ments, which were worn three weeks,
the boy behaved admirably during the
rest of his stay on Snake Hill. But
taken away from these he resumed his
vagrant and thieving ways.
He is now behind the bars of the
Hudson county Jail, delivered over by
father and officials of the state The
state board of children's guardians has
taken up his case, and Judge Blair of
Jersey City is expected to commit him
within a few days to the reform school
at Jamesburg. near Camden, for at least
two years.

floor at her feet at the counter. When
she had made her purchase she forgot her
umbrellas. and SYSTEMATICALLY picked up

and started off

Reputation and the Presidency

Few presidents have gained in public
estimation by their incumbency Many
have lost Grant would have occupied
a higher pedestal had he remained at
the head of the army. and Lincoln and
Garfield both died at a fortunate time
for their fame But, wearing and
grinding as are the stress and strain,
few. if any, have been broken by the
tension The White House has been
exceptionally free from tragedies Tay-
lor died from a surfeit Of cherries and
milk, and Harrison from cold con-
tracted by riding bareheaded in a snow
storm up the avenue from the capitol
the day of his Inauguration. Possibly
Polk was the only president who sue
curnbed to the wearisome burdens Of
his office. He died June Is. 1S49. three
months after the close of his term, at
the comp ratiye1y early age of 54--Ex-
Senator ingalls,, in The Saturday Even
