Capt. Fersen. who Is an expert In

the invention that lie told them that
he would recommend that the Russian
government purchase enough of these
lights to equip the Russian navy, and
ordered one of the lights. which will
be shipped to Russia at once. The

The Chippewa outbreak in Mime
sofa in the fall OF 1898 is attrib-
uted by the commissioner of Indian
affairs. in his annual report. to the
misconduct of federal officials. Deputy
marshals had been in the habit OF
making wholesale arrests of Indians
either as witnesses or offenders. solely
for the fees which would accrue to
them. The estimators appointed to
appraise the Chippewas' timber had
made heavy charges for their work
which was worthless and had to be
done over a second time and a third
time. The Indians also had suffered
from timber depredations, and from
the sale of their lands At prices much
below their real value. The distrusi
and evaporation occasioned by these
wrongs led them to armed resistance
TO the military force sent to arrest
their chief.

"As soon as it becomes yours-I
don't doubt it."
Edwards brows contracted angrily.
A dark frown shadowed his face.
What does that mean, Florence? Do
you doubt my love? You know that
1t is bestowed on you alone, not your
estates, which, in the storms OF war,
may be destroyed, like SO many which
have already been ruined. You must
trust me. l shall certainly not sac
rifice you to any principle. as others

The allusion was distinct enough.
Florence's head dropped. but her tone
betrayed rising Indignation, as she re-
piled:
WAS sacrificed? You say so, and
so does my father. but have never
heard it from Williams lips. and you
were always his enemy. l cannot un-
derstand his giving up the struggle SO
quickly. not even making an attempt

not utter in words. But there was no
change in his countenance. and the an
swer was equally unmoved and cold.
Surely. you read the letter in which
he broke with your father? Was not
that plain enough? He knew the price
that would enable him to possess you.
1t would have cost him only single
word to call you his; yet. instead, he
delivered a political lecture on manly
honor. duty conviction and the rest of
the set phrases. Well he followed his
conviction and-gave you up"
The young girls pale face began to
flush. and her lips were closely COM
pressed. This was the goad which had
conquered her resistance, forced her
into the new bond: it produced its eff
feet now.
"Yes, he gave me up" she repeated.
bitterly. WE'LL have given him
up. too"
And cannot you yet shake of the
memory? You have been candid with
me. Florence. cruelty candid. l was
forced to hear from your lips that that

may. l shall yet win you-you and

There was really a touch Of genuine
passion in the words. and the ardent
gaze which rested on the young CIR,
proved that Edward Harrison was not
playing mere game Of calculation.
Florence unresistingly left the hand he
had seized in his clasp. She was half
unconsciously under the thrall Of this

THE TRAMP PROBLEM.
The Difficulty of Solving II Under
EXISTING Conditions.

The Difheulty of Solving IL Unde
EXISTING Conditions.
EDITOR JOURNAL THE Oregonian q
few days ago had an editorial headed
"The treatment OF Vagrancy" from
which the following excerpt is taken.
A problem that is always with us
"by-product, 80 to speak, OF civiliza-
tion--is found in the above words. Va
rious methods have been applied to It's
solution--imprisonment; the bitter
penalty OF enforced labor; cheap board
ing-houses missions that supply the
gospel OF encouragement and strive TO
promote the gospel OF cleanliness
religious influences, and, finally, all
failing, the authoritative order TO "move
on" have all been applied and singly OF
combined have failed TO give saisiac-
tory answer. The great army OF the
thriftless, the indolent and the destitute
shows no diminution in numbers. The
most discouraging feature Of the case IL
that the vagrant, born and bred, is well
content with his lowly, degraded estate
literally sowing no care and fearing no
ill.," A bivouac in his malodorous
blankets wherever he can find room 10
spread them has no discomfort for him,
and prison means shelter and food dur
ing stress or storm. Work Is his only
dread, and he is an expert in managing
IL so that IT becomes a dread as well as
70 the municipality that imposes it up
on him.
Maud Ballington Booth, whose name
is synonym for earnest endeavor in the
treatment of this moral disease, says:
"Icannot see that we have yet found
any remedy for vagrancy that will do
more than afford temporary relief"
City shelters az a scheme for curing
vagrancy are equally unsuccessful.
Having thoroughly, consoientiously and
laboriously tried this plan, Mrs. Booth
says; al realize that the great proper.
tion Of the dodgers utilize the shelters
for temporary convenienience, and that
this plan merely relieves and does not
effect permanent cure for vagrancy."
Summing up the phases OF this perplex-
ing question, this competent authority
says: "The class under consideration,
in my judgment, should be treated az
individuals, not in bodies. A large pro-
portion OF them have known no other
manner OF living, and have followed in
the idle and vicious wayso of their parents.
Religious advice, in theiorm OF addresses
no matter how forcible or eloquent, has
no effect on such people. They are too
deadened TO realize It's meaning. Only
indidual effort will benefit them"
In the light Of this advice aud the ex
perienao upon which IL is based, the
waste in money and energy that has en-
sued from the attempt to lift vagrants AS
a class In urban community life out Of
the idleness and squalor in which they
prefer 10 pass their lives, is appalling,

be comparatively easy to deal with the
"tramp nuisance" for measures sufli.

result can then be enforced without dan

The true solution of the problem must

indeed, little better than that barbar-

wrest his living from the hand of nature
unhampered by any monopoly Of the
