These cold nights drive asmall army
of wanderers into the station house for
shelter—fellows who are thankful for the
privilege of sleeping on even so uninvib
log a bed as the bare stone floor,without
shelter of any kind. Norwalk belugon
on? direct route from New York to
Boston, the points between which this
nomadic class migrate, gets its full all

Ntiou of this grand army of pastoral
beings is composed of prdesslonal tour-
ists, litany of them are men out of work
seeking employment.
Officer Martin, of the borough police
force, piloted a coupleof newspaper men,
last night, down the dark, sinuous path-
way of Smith street to the room adjoin-
ing the Norwalk lock-up, where "knights
of the road" who come this way crave
the privilege of resting their weary bones
from dark until daylight. It was nuts

The room was too dark for a person
tofonn anidoa of the personal appear-
anceof the men. They lay with their
feet toward the stove, while
an old coat or a bundle
of some kind served as apillow. Despite
their inhospitable surroundings they
seemed to possess that great American
trait, good nature. Some of them em
changed a few pleasant words with the
oflicer, and returned witty retorts to the
newspaper men’s questions. The faces
of some indicated that they had seen
better days, while the countenances of
others were hardened by exposure denot-
ing that they had long been on the road.
The" clothing of the latter class
was unkempt. their faces unshaven,
while the non-professionals were better
dressed and kept aloof from the other
inmates of the place. They kept their
shoes on, too, an indication that they

The ofllcer explained that the tramp

to the officers. in some places the
tramps are fed and made to break stone

DEMANDS AN INVES’I‘IIIATIIIN
Disgraceful Scenes that are hold to Have
Token Place at the Armorv.
To the Editor: An early riser walking
dou'n West avenue, Thsnksglving Day
morning, saw a rum-crazed moh‘ march
out of the Armory and go up the street
with bugle and drums playing a drunken
tune. They returned soon. He went
into the Armory, saw the United States
flag lying on the floor. trampled under
‘foot among the broken bottles and
glasses. and was surprised to learn that
the annual ball of Company F was just
breaking up after a night of disgraceful
scene and noisy revelry.
All this serves to teach a useful object
lesson on the proper nnd legitimate uses
of State armorias, and if it is heeded the
State of Connecticut will not again he
disgraced by such performances
As in the conduct of some of the mem
bers of Company F, that is a matter for
the nIilit-Iry authorities to deal with, but
the fair name, of the militia of the State
certainly demands that an immediate
and searching Investigation be made by
Captain Rose, whose own reputation is
at stake in this matter.
Captain Rose Indignantly denies that
there was even so much sea bottle of
beer in the Armory, and that no such
scenes as described above took place.
