Frequently "Yegg man" convicted of
vagrancy and sent to prison for long
term is released on habeas corpus by
the aid of influential politicians in spite
of all the Charity Organization society

This influence comes from the fact
that many "Yegg men" and the women
with whom they associate belong to in

fact that they frequently have large
sums of money, the fruits of big rob-
berries.

step taken by that organization in the
determined fight it is waging against
professional begging throughout the
United States, says the New York
World.
This booklet, which will be sent to all
the charity organizations of America,
as well as to police stations and to in

records of fraudulent beggars as COM

criminals did the careers Of notable
crooks.
Mr.. Forbes has been studying the
problem of Kidding New York of street
beggars for over two years, and the
booklet about to be issued il the result
of his labors.
In it professional beggars are classi-
fed according to their deformities.
There is special classification for
those with the right leg amputated, an
other for those who have lost arms, as
well as a general list of all impostors
known to the Charities organization.
Besides the real name of the beggar,

his ''monneker name," or alias, Is given
with his height, the color of his eyes.

of them are easily identified. The pro-

Forbes, is nearly always a criminal
He is usually of the variety known
as "Yegg man" or tramp safe blower,
the name having originated at the time
of the arrest of John w. Yegg, the first
travelling safe blower known to the po-
lice. The "Yegg man." when on the road
or in the Jungle" as he contemptuous-
ly terms the country west of Manhat-

to resume an active criminal career.

Mr.. Forbes, the safe in a country bank

Funeral Of Earl z. Harris.

The funeral OF Earl Il. Harris,
on Thursday afternoon last, at
the Presbyterian Church, was
one of the largest ever attend
ed in this city, and was a pub
lie expression of the high es-
TEEN in which the deceased was
held in this community where
he was born and raised to man
hood. The funeral sermon was
preached by Rev. MacAllister,
of the Presbyterian Church, and
was a beautiful tribute to the
spotless character of the young
life just closed. The casket was
surrounded by a profusion of
flowers and beautiful wreaths,
those silent but impressive to-
kens of love and respect from
all walks of life. Among the to-
kens were those from the news
paper men of the county who
attended the funeral in a body,
citizens of all classes. All the
community by their presence
gave evidence of THEN love and
esteem for him who had left us
never to return.
He was followed to the tomb
in Rose Hill Cemetery and there
with tender hand laid forest to
await the Resurrection morn.

Earl Harris.
During the life and editorial
work of Earl r. Harris, he was
never in favor of public card of
thanks, and forall the hundreds
of acts Of kindness his friends
showed him during his last ILL
ness, his constant request was
that we should keep the names
OF the friends who were so kind
to him, so that when he "got up
and was able" he wanted to
write to each personally, thank
ing them for their acts of kind
ness. There never was one of
the hundreds of boquets or love-
ly flowers came to him that he
did not request the name cf
the sender to be kept for his
use. For the young people and
the railroad men of the city,
he had a special word for their
kindness. To all, were he alive,
and debating this card, he
would say, thank them all for
me for their many acts of
kindness. Accept this, dear
friends, as coming from Earl,
and may each and every one be
spared the cruel grief we have
been called upon to endure, is
our prayer.

Letter from the West

Hillyard, Wash, Dec. 20, '03.
Friend Robert-Again we essay
to chronicle passing events.
This has been the first day but
one since the 9Th inst. that it
has neither showed nor rained.
and most of the time done both,
with occasional showers be-
t veen, and yesterday it did
both, and shoWered at the same
time; but this is an unusual
country. Today the sun shone
nicely, and it was such a
strange thing, that had it been
night we would have mistaken
it for distant headlight. The
wind blew today, not hard, as a
hard wind goes in Iowa, but
With a steady persistence, and
that from the south; and here
is one of the unusual features
of Washington: had Harrison
county had such a warm wind
and bright sunshine following
a rain the mud would have dis
appeared rapidly, but not so
here. II only seemed to en-
phasize the fact that it had
rained, and would perhaps
either rain or snow again to-
morrow.
This is the most peculiar eli
mate we ever tried to engineer.
We have kept a diary since
January l, 1874, but this sec
ton almost cooks our goose.
We don't believe anyone c;n
tell a thing about it, except the
weather man, and he always
reports appearances Indicate
rain or snow for Spokane and
tonight and tomorrow,
and he nearly always hits it.
After our bright day il is
cloudy again tonight, and so
COMPOUNDED dark that you can't
even look into the future.
Another peculiar thing here.
is the apparent nearness of
objects. Nothing seems far off
but payday, and home. When
the atmosphere is clear the
stars look as though you could
touch them with a short pole.
The mountains in B. c., 100
miles north, or the coast range
300 to the west, do not seem to
be more than twenty five miles.
While the sun shines some
times it does not seem to dry
anything. Our temperature is
kept up by the warm atmo-
sphere from the coast current
coming up the rivers. When
ever you get very far from a
river you find plenty of snow,
the air not being warm enough
to melt it off, but sufficiently
warm to prevent the extreme
cold common in high attitudes.
You know it is said that ev-
erything comes to him who,
waits. We have often of late
where our Christmas
dinner was coming in at, but
today our old friend Mr.. Wilcke
came, and when he left we had
accepted an invitation to dinner
