these days as ne was IN the early
history Of the newspaper busi-
ness. Formerly, and until o few
years ago, he roamad the face Of
the continent and lived on the
charity Of the printers, and other
inhabitants along his route. AT
ter he served his apprenticeship
and took his FIRST trip in a "side-
door sleeper" he was never
known to work longer than a
week at a time. He will throw
up the best job n the Office and
go out and "Vank up" the first
time he gets paid. He drops in
the Office all on a sudden and
leaves before you know he is
gone. He a tell you many ins
teresting stories Of his experience
on freight trains and in his
meanderings for grub along
his line Of trava'. He knows
what towns to "stop over" at and
what towns to give the "go by"
But with ali his faults he is a jo-
vial good fellow. He can give
you more Information about the
geography OF the country than
any one else you meet. There is a
fraternal feeling among print
ers generally not to be found
among any other class of
artists. They live to themselves
usually aud are inofensive. They
are we'll informed and the tramp
printer especially is a regular
travelling encyclopedia. The
Rambler has had much expert
ence with tramp printers, and
although we have tt s'shell QUIZ
every time strikes town, yet
we cannot say we are glad they
do not drop in" so often now
as they did some years ago. The
type setting machines do the
work on the morning newspaper
in the large towns and the tramI
printer has quit the business and
gone in search of pastures
new.

The recent decision of the SUI

The question of finance is
troubling the Board of Aldermen,
SO we are told. We are not sur
prised. 1t is a problem that en-
cages the attention of all classes

the Board Of Aldermen, the Ram
bier, zoo, is much perplexed over
that vexatious subject; but unlike
the Aldermen we are not so much
worried about what we W as we
are about our inability to owe
any more. We have reached the

Rambler the other day for a suit

out on the street once more, we
received a half dozen pants but

Now that we have the buttons
and thread, if some philanthropic
citizen will send us the cloth
we will persuade Mrs. Rambler
to make the clothes, so that we
can get out of bed. We will state
that we have an old horn collar

tapis for the near future Ia Colds
boro is the "Spinsters' Conven-

10 make the music. The dance
was running on at lively gait and
Jim Johnson was calling the fig

house there was Sally Ann Sit

one would naturally suppose a party
which had put such a statement be-
lore the public as truth, if given an
opportunity, would carry its convic-
lions out in its public enactments.
Yet on the 18th of June, 1898, with
both houses of congress republican,
and MIR. Mckinley as president, passed
a law for the coinage of silver at the
ratio of IL to l, authorizing the coin
age OF not less than 100000 silver
dollers a month, and at the ratio of
l6 to l, as provided in the law of 1884
which is the ratio of every silver dol
lar coined in the last 66 years. Under
the act of June II, 1898, there has
been coined 59,9SS,S9O l6 to l silver
dollars, and during the month of June

The United States three million silver
dollars at the ratio of 16 to l, under

Banker Collins is for BRYAN,

Joliet, ILL.,, July 2O.-Michael Collins,
banker, of Peotone, Ill.,, and one of
the most prominent republicans in
VIII county, announced this morning
that he could not stand the imperial
istic policy of the republican admins
tration and would support w. j. Bryan
Tor president.
Mr.. Collins served several sessions
as member of the legislature from
this district, was a member of the
board of supervisors from Pcotone for
several years, and was chosen president
OF that body two years ago. Two years
ago he made the race for the nomina-
ton for state senator against William
Odell of Wilmington and was defeated
by only two votes in the convention.
The action of Mr.. Collins fell like a
bomb Shell among Will county poll
ticians, and has proved the greatest
sensation known in local political
circles in years. He is man of great
wealth, is the principal owner of the
Peotone bank and is a large stock
holder and director of the Will county
bank of this city. He has been life
long republica but always man of
great independence.
In speaking of the reasons for his
action MIR. Collins said this morning:
VI am an anti-imperialiSt. [ am
strongly opposed to the manner in
which the administration has deserted
the principles on which this govern
ment is founded. The declaration of
independence and the constitution
have been practically set aside to
allow of the establishment of colonial
system. This question, l believe to be
the most important one we have to
deal with, and / have decided to vote
for Bryan accordingly. !"

RUNS DOWN A sw1NDLER.
society Woman Succeeds In Doing
What the Police and u Private
Detective Failed to Do.

Prominent Brooklynites have been
swindled by handsome young wom-
an, who, on the plea of poverty and
hardship and by means of the use OF
the name of Mrs. Louise d. Ruxton, has
obtained in the last six weeks nearly
$4,000, it is said.
The police believe that they have
the perpetrator of this swindling
scheme in the person of a young wom-
an who was arrested the other day
as the result of detective work done by
Mrs. Ruxton. The woman gives her
name as Jennie Roberts.
Among those who have been victim
lied are Mrs. Deacon" Stephen v.
White, John E. Searles, Mrs. R. Ross
Appleton and others.
Mrs. Ruxton, who is the wife OF
wealthy ink manufacturer, says that
last November the young woman came
to her house and told a pitiful tale.
She was dressed in mourning. Her
husband, she said between sobs, had
been employed in Mr.. Ruxton's fac
tory, but had died, leaving her to sup
port family Of five brothers and sis
tiers.
Mrs. Ruxton believed the woman and
gave her $25. At various times after
that, at social affairs on the Heights,
Mrs. Ruxton was approached by
friends who said that the woman had
been to them, using Mrs. Ruxton's
name, and that they had been glad to
help her. They soon came to the con-
clusion that they had all been victim
lied.
Mrs. Ruxton complained to the po-
lice. They did nothing. She then
hired private detective. He failed to
find the woman. Then Mrs. Ruxton
decided to run down the woman her
self, and for some tins has been on
the lookout. While driving in her car
riagc in Fulton street she espied Jen-
ME Roberts in the street. Mrs. Ruxton
alighted and followed the woman until
she could turn her over to a police
man.
In her possession wes book con-
taining the names and addresses of
about 100 prominent Brooklyn men
and women. After some of them was

and against many names were the
amounts that had been received from
them.
