A Tramp's Lecture.

A tramp asked for drink in saloon.
The request was granted, and when in
the act of drinking the proffered beverage
one of the young men present exclaimed:
"Stop! make US speech. 1t IS poor
liquor that doesn't unloosen mans
tongue"
The tramp hastily swallowed down the
drink, and as the rich liquor coursed
through his blood Strengthened himself
and stood before them with grace and
dignity that all his rags and dirt could
not obscure.
"Gentlemen," he said, Il look tonight
at you and myself, and it seemsto me that
I look upon the picture of my blighted
manhood. This bloated face was once as
handsome as yours. This shambling
figure once walked as proudly as yours,
for I was man in the world of men. l,
too, once had home and friends and
position. I had wife as beautiful as an
artists dream, but 1 dropped the priceless
pearls of her honor and respect into
cup of wine, and, like Cleopatra, saw 1t
dissolve, then quaffed it down in the
brimming draught. I had children sweet
and pure as the flowers of spring, and
saw them fade and die under the blight
ing curse of a drunken father. l had
home where love lit its fame upon the
altar and ministered before it, but l put
out the holy fire and darkness and desc
lation reigned in its stead. l had aspl'
rations and ambitions that scared as high
as the morning star, but broke and
bruised those beautiful forms and
strangled them that might hear their
cries no more. Today I am a husband
without a wife, father without child,
a tramp without home and a man IN
whom every good impulse is dead. All
have been swallowed up in the maelstrom
of drink"
The tramp ceased speaking. The glass
fell from his nervous fingers and was
shattered into a thousand fragments on
the floor. The swinging doors were
pushed open and shut again and when
the group looked up the tramp was gone.

ders, there was no evidence to show
her motive, and none has ever been
learned. She lived in Troy for some
time prior to the murders, but was
known simply as Mrs. Robinson. She
seldom went out and when she did
she was heavily yelled. She was sen
fenced under the name Of Henrietta
Robinson.
There were people in Troy fifty
years ago who believed that the mur-
deress Of Timothy Lanigan and Cath
crime Lubee was Charlotte Ward. the
one time pupil Of Miss Wizards
school. There is an interesting story
connected with the throwing Of the
public OF the scent The Ward family
was wealthy. At the time that tho
prisoner was awaiting trial there was
a reception given at the Willard school,
When it was at its height William
Ward and his sister, Lady William El-
liott, were announced Into the par
lor they came, and every one recog-
nized in the person Of Lady William
Charlotte Ward. Mr.. Ward and his
sister stayed only few minutes.
"Mr. Ward said that he and his sister
were simply passing through Troy and
must take an early train. They left the
reception in closed carriage, but that
carriage went to the jail instead Of the
railroad station. The ruse accomplished
it's purpose in throwing the public OF
the scent and saving the name Of the
wealthy Ward family from connection
with the murder. It was the last ap-
pearance in society Of woman who
had once had such hopes and such
prospects, but she never breathed
word, and she suffered all the tortures
Of Imprisonment, coupled with the con-
sciousness Of failing reason, blaming
only herself, and she would have well
coined death long before it came"

Scandal In the Form of a Family

For the Theft.

New York, June 1.-offers of a s1O.-
600 reward are published here for the
return OF a packet of letters said to
have been stolen from a private safe

prominent New York family. whose
name probably will never be mentioned

scandal should arise from an expose of
the letters contents.
Incidentally. it is hoped to recover
$4,000 worth of jewels and many thou
sands of dollars worth of stock certifi-
Gates which were stolen at the same
time as the letters: but in comparison
with the letters the loss of the jewelry
is considered Insignificant Every ef-
fort has been made to keep the affair
secret.
Some time between March 81 and a
few days ago an old-fas hioned mahog-
any treasure box was stolen from a
safe, where II had for many years held
the most valuable of the possessions
of the women members of the family.
A scandal in the form of a family
skeleton hidden for fifteen years from
the head of the household is said to
have formed the basis of the theft.
which is believed to have grown out
of n new romance in the family De-
tectives at work on the case say they
confidently believe that the son of the
household is the thief for whom they
are seeking. He is only about twenty
three years old. a graduate of one of
the leading universities and a well
known figure at the social functions Of
the younger set
His motive is believed to be the ne
cessity OF maintaining the appearance
OF having a large income during his
engagement to a wealthy young society
woman. His own family are opposed
to the match and have limited his al
lowance; hence his desire TO acquire
funds.
The suspected man left town some
time ago, but he is under close sur
veillance, and the detectives believe
that the offer of the rich reward just
made will procure the return of the
letters. The contents of these missives
Is unknown, even 10 the detectives in
the case.

salute of eleven guns was fired when
Miss Gertrude Slocum. grand daughter
of the man in whose memory the mon
ument was raised drew aside the flag
which had concealed 1t.
President Roosevelt was loudly
cheered when he arose. He said in
part: 1--WE meet today to commence
rate the great victory, the triumph of
union and liberty. not primarily be-
cause our victory. but because IL was a
victory for righteousness and the
peace and the liberty and the eternal
welfare OF mankind. 1 can see before
me here men who won high honor serv-
ing as comrades in arms of General
Slocum and / know that there exists
in the Union men viii will appreciate
more the fact that now. forty years
after the war. the browning triumph of
what they did is to be found in the
fact that we have a genuinely united
country. n country in which the men
who wore the blue stretches out the
hand of loyal friendship to his erst-
while foe. his now devoted friend and
fellow countryman. the man who wore

worth on the stricken fields; men who
knew each that the other had been
ready when the hour of supreme appeal
came to show his worth by his en-
deavors. and men who now leave their
children and their children's children
as a heritage OF honor forever, the
memory of great deeds done alike by
those who fought under Grant and by
those who fought under Lee. for we.
because of the very fact that the Union
triumphed. now have the right to feel
like pride in the valor and devotion
of those who valiantly fought against
the stars. and those who finally saw
their efforts and their suffering crowned
by triumph. (Applause.) Think OF 1t
my fellow countrymen; think OF what
a thrice blessed fortune has been ours
that the greatest war that the Nine

the Napoleonic struggles. should have
left TO victors and vanquished alike the
proudest satisfaction in the fact that
the Union was saved and the greatest
pride in the honor. the gallantry. tina
