MYSTERIOUS ORIGIN
OF the Word t'Yegg," Which Is AID.
Piled to Certain Criminals.

New Orleans Times Democrat.
Where did Billy Pinkerton, and the
other men engaged in the detective
business, stumble upon the word
yegg,' which is applied to a, certain.
class OF mendicants.?" asked a man
who takes much interest in the study
Of words. II have not been able to
find any trace of the word in any of
the etymologies at my command, and
hence have been at a loss to under
stand where they found the word
yegg. They refer to class of men
dicants as 'yeggs' or 'yeggmen,' and
l noticed q few weeks ago that the
police of Boston had made a raid on
this Objectionable class and were
making an effort to rid the city of
them. The 'yegg' is rather curious
member, and is looked upon as one of
me IN most a,1 dangerous men engaged in
shady calling. He is a desperate sort
OF offender, and while his crimes are
not of the larger and more aggravated
sort, he is hard proposition to deal
with. The 'yegg' is the fellow who
will slip around the back way in the
garb OF a beggar; who will ask you
for food, and who will talk to Vol, foT.

the night. If the prospects are NOT
good, If there isn't a prosperous 1ool
about the place, the chances are that
he will not honor you with a, call. mi
was speaking more particularly
about the word 'yegg' and how the de-
tect1yes and police of the country han
pened to pick it up. AS I said before
have been unable to find any sort Of
trace OF the word in the dictionaries
and etymologies at my conmanf1.
There is nothing to even suggest # in
anything have been able to find.
Where did they get the word 'yegg?'
suppose they have simply picked If
up, like many other words now orr
rent have been picked up. The Of
Tending classes of the country have
added vastly to the current .yoca hu-
lary. Many of the words originating
With them have become of common

way of Bilma; thence it would be taken

Libreville, on the Atlantic coast The
construction Of this line would unite the
French possessions in Africa and it .WouId
make it possible For French Central Africa
to be defended; but the other lines start
ing from Iglt or from Biskra; would reach
French Congo only either by way of tie
British Soudan kingdom of Sokoto or
across, the German Cameroons, and in
both cases without touching the Central
African possessions Of France. M Bon
nard showed also the advantage of the:
route from Bizerta, as compared with an.
other project to build a railway either
from Philippevi1le. in Algeria, or from
Biskra. to the east shore of Lake Chad, for
line starting from Bizerta would be 500
kilometers shorter, and one from Bugara
would be 1000 kilometers shorter than a
line built from Pllilippeville. The leading
French transport companies, the syndi-s
cate for building African railways and the
commercial world generally are all In
favor. Of building the projected railway
from Bizerta, and this fact will have great
weight when the final decision has to be
made by the authorities.
