PROVIDING For His Guests.

Two men stopped at the store Of
haberdasher who displayed In his
showcase a Job lot Of collars at 5
cents apiece. One Of them bought two
dozen. In sizes ranging from Is to TN.
His friend politely controlled his sur
prise at discovering that the broker
wore FIVE cent collars and inquired only
about the elastic neck. The purchaser
said:
I'VE live In the suburbs. Friends
who visit us and remain overnight
Unexpectedly want clean collars the
next morning. 1t depletes my own
stock too far to keep furnishing these.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
EXCLUSIVE HOSPITAL.
Wealthy Men Of Boston Are Back Of .
$4,000 Proiect.

$SSSs0Sv FFoJoSSs
Backed by prominent men Of Bos-
ton, hospital Is to be established in
that city which will be exclusively
for the wealthy. The promoters of
the hospital figure on its paying at
least per cent dividends.
The plan has grown out of the curl
Gus conditions which persons Of ample
means face when they seek in Boston
the best medical treatment and such
comfort or even luxury in hospital &C
commodations as they are able and
willing to pay for. The public hos
pitfalls Of Boston, intended mainly for
the i'll poor, make little provision for
well to do patients, and the latter
class can, in fact, secure the benefits
Of treatment by the STATS of the large
hospitals only by accepting conditions
which are repugnant to them.
The corporation Is to be formed with
a capital stock Of $4,000. divided
into two classes of shares. There will
be twenty-five shares of common
stock, paying no dividends, but carry
ing the voting power, to be held by
fifteen physicians and by ten business
men. who will form the board of di-
rectors. The other 4,975 shares will
be preferred stock, with per cent
cumulative dividends, but with no vot-
lug power.

M'KINLEY'S VOTE.

Miss Tarbeii Tells How He Came to
Cast II For the Silver Bill.
Trades and deals formed the life
blood Of politics in the old days even
more than now. An interesting story
is told along this line by Ida NJ Tar
bell in the June number Of the Amer
lean Magazine. In part she says
1.-The surprising trades and compro'
misses that Mr.. Mckinley made in put
ting through the tariff bill Of 1890
were part and parcel Of his insensibil.
ity to the moral side Of the doctrine
of protection. One Of the most amaZ-
ing Of his acts was his voting for the
silver bill. He had persuaded the
western senators to support his tariff
bill. in much Of which they did not be-
iieve, and they in turn expected him to
support their silver bill, in which he
did not believe. / cannot say that
Mr.. Mckinley had promised beforehand
to give them support do not know
but I do know that when the silver
bill came to vote Mr.. Mckinley sought
his friend and political opponent. Rog
er Q. Mills of Texas, and asked: What
can I do? do not want to vote fol-
this bill: do not believe In it, And
Mr.. Mills said to him: You can dc
nothing else. They voted for your
bill on the understanding that you In
turn would support theirs. There is
nothing else to do These are protec

Successful European Idea
to Be Tried In This
Country
UHERN are half million tramps

and Migrants In the United
States. This Is not an official
figure, for no tramp census
has ever been taken, but 1t Is the es-
innate Of the national committee on
vagrancy and Of other organiza lions
that have studied the problem OF the
vagabond and what to do with him.
This vast army IL now engaged In a
march across the country, swarming
out of the cities, where 1t has been In
winter quarters: out Of the jails and
penitentiaries and almhouses, where 1t
has been supported In idleness and
comparative luxury during the past
few months, and spreading out through
the villages and country districts.
Its members follow the lines Of the
railways, beating their way on freight
trains, getting their food In "hand-
OUTS or by petty thefts, sleeping In
barns and under haystacks or, II the
weather drives them to 1t, seeking the
shelter Of the town police station or
the village lookup. One-flfth Of their
number are always in jail, and in one
way or another the public lodges them.

their offerings and their destruction
of property, all Of which in the aggre-
gate amounts to many millions of dol
lars every year.
New York First to Move.
As the state which has more Of these
'knights Of the road" than any other
New York is now endeavoring to find
better way Of dealing with the evil
tramps on from one community to an
other, with an enforced rest now and
then in some penitentiary or Jail which
does not in the least Inconvenience
them and serves only to make them
more confirmed in the belief that the
public owes them living and In the
determination to collect 1t by their
time honored methods. The attention
of the state authorities has been fixed
upon this subject by the collection Of
statistics recently, which showed that
there has been very great increase
in vagrancy in the state within the
past year and that the number of
homeless and unemployed wanderers
is several times as great as 1t was only
FIVE years ago.
AS a result of the discovery that the
methods heretofore followed are far
more satisfactory to the hobo than to
the public and that they serve only to
increase the number Of beggars and
vagabonds a bill Is now before the
state legislature providing a new rem
edy for the evil. This is nothing less
than proposal to set the tramp to
work. The very idea Of such thing
is enough to horrify Dusty Rhodes
and all his clan. but their wishes are
not to be consulted In the matter.

Just ten years ago Dick Rohn, now
manager of the Pathfinders, who are
in keokuk today to open their first
series with the Indians, came to this
city with the Quincy Reserves, then
the great rivals of Harry Miller and
his Independent ball sclub. Rohn was
playing ball at Sedalia, Mo-, that year
and was brought on with Hofer's
charges to hold down first base.
Rohn has been holding down first
base ever since and the reports are
that he is past master at the first
corner of the lot. He has had about
ten years of experience in the profess
sional game and during that time has
landed couple of pennants and swat
ted out a few home runs.
Dick is the side pal of Tom Hayden,
magnate, league president and real
bug. Dick takes care of the manager
ial duties, while Tom looks after the
bookkeeping. Rohn says his boss will
make flying trip into Keokuk if the
Pathfinders lose another game. Rohn
and his team arrived here from Mus
catine shortly before midnight and en-.
tertained newspaper men in his suite
of rooms at the Grand Hotel today.
