London.s wen pre.sed Reggars.

1t would seem that we have now ar
rived at the age of the well-dressed
beggar, says the London Express, for
the supplicants who now come to the
doors of the houses in we'll to- do neigh
borhoods are becoming more and more
prosperous in appearance as time goes
on. Yet 1t can scarcely be that their
calling has become more lucrative.
The beggar who went from door to
door used to be a ragged, hungry-look-
ing creature who usually sneaked soft
ly round to the side door; the sort of
supplicant one encounters nowadays is
as often as not neatly dressed indi-
vidual, who boldly goes up to the front
door With smart rat-a-tat, and asks
to see the mistress of the house.
They are we'll washed, well-spoken
and apparently well-fed. The writer
was speaking the other day to a lady
who lives in Suburbia, and during the
course of the conversation she spoke
of her own experiences of this new
type of beggar.
Il will give you three examples l
came across during a single week., she
said. THE first was an old man with
beautiful white hair and a fine beard.
He wore silk hat, which shone like
a mirror, and the rest of his dress was
in keeping with it. For a moment l
thought he might have been our land
lord, whom / had never seen; so you
may judge of my surprise when he
said:
Madam, this is new to me, for l
was more fortunate once. Now | am
poor and old, and am so weak that 1
can hardly stand on my legs. TO ap-
pear as a supplicant at other persons
doors is an almost unbearable torture
to me, but it is the only thing ] can
do.
Il hope you pardon me. madam, II |
ask you out of the great kindness CT
your heart to let me have few coins
as an assistance
Another was a tall young man, fair
ly good looking. who wore neat
lounge suit and straw hat. His linen
was scrupulously clean.
az don't want anything of any KIND,
thank YOU said when saw him. for
| made up my mind he must be some
sort of a commercial traveller
But / do he replied. 1 am III seri-
Gus distress. and the smallest help
would be welcome.
HE did not seem whit abasned
when l ordered him out of the 'oom.

wearing a fashionably trimmed hat and
a neat well-cut walking costume L

when l entered the room thought
she must have called at the wrong
house. Judge of my surprise, then'
when she began:

Illustrated by the newest methods in a

that is how to procure good, honest

this there is no greater problem in the

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Philadelphia North American
Qnd) says: Whether or not Schley
did the right thing in the best possible
way every time is question of no vital
Importance. Possibly a Nelson or a
Paul Jones would have done things
that We're not done by Schley and
would have made shrewder guesses at
the movements of the enemy, but the
result makes all speculation on such
points idle. Schley destroyed the Span
ish fleet, won one of the most notable
victories on record and bore the brunt
of the battle in his own ship. That
was known before the court was Gre
ated, and it is settled now beyond pos
sibility of dispute.
The Springfield Republican 0nd.)
SAYS: The whole stream of argument
used throughout these Northern states
TO defend American imperialism has
been to exalt the political doctrine of

right of the superior to acquire by

The gang that runs the Republican
machine in Philadelphia has been
squirming under the lash of the mer-
ciless exposure of it's conduct that has
been made in the newspapers of that
city. Members of the gang have been
retortng with cries of yellow jour
nalism," 'Traducers of the city," and
the like. One of them has announced
that he has been compelled to take
the stump because the newspapers
would not tell the truth" The broad
statement has excited the ire Of the
staid and dignified Ledger, which says
of the charge of journalistic inaccu-
racy: He has offered no evidence
whatever to maintain it; it rests sole
ly upon his bare, unsupported word
which, if he viii excuse the suggestion,
seems to be too frail foundation"
The cry of the gang is not new; it is
made by every outfit of spoilsmen that
is detected and exposed and it's not OF
sufficient moment to excite the indig
nation of the esteemed Ledger.

the auctioneer was making the sale,
Constable Clarke hustled out the side
door to a nearby livery, where he hired
