Olh!“ —FnAANcA-;e S. Osooop.
A Sentinel reporter visited the sta-
tue-house in Smith street, Nor-walk,
Ann morning recently, and was introduc-
-A“to Mr. Howard’s guests. Twenty-six
men had spent the preceding night
here and they represented several de-
grees of tramphood. They were stand-
‘ ug or sitting in various attitudes, pic-
uresqne and otherwise. The room seem-
Acd small and dark and very warm, and
3 the air was close. For the most part,
the men Were willing to talk, .Although
A some sat silent and sullen and twirled
theirhats or fingers; they were AA'l Ac-
npectful Tire reporter suspected that
‘thoso who talked most fluently had been
-' longest on the road and had. becomc

The first man spoken to was full and
wore a long board; he would have have
venerable had he showed any signs of
being good. He was asked to toll some-
thing about his life. “I don't know
,‘AAotlAin‘ about it," he replied. in the tone
of one who is being questioned in court,
but who doggedly refuses to admit any-
thing for fear of incriminating himself.
It is sadly probablc that he had seen the
inside of a police court more than once
and that he mistook the reporter for a
detective
The next man talked well and rapidly,
but plainly denoted by his conversation
that he held an anarchistic attitude to-
ward all-whohappcned to be betterotl‘
than himself. Many of these men are
risingly intelligent and have their
views of life and of human nature,
As hey see so much of the hard, on-
pleas t, seumy side of life. perhaps it is
not tobe wondered at that these views
often timcs'partuke of the-character of
anarchy, or, to put it mildly, of so-
cialism.
Just here the question may be asked,
Would it not be well to supply our eta
tion—housc with books and papers of the
kind that would tend to counteract those
anarchicAAl tendencies—mot to flood the
place with “PoliticalE conotnics. " but to
furnish reading matter that would give

but, untaught, they menace our country
and Our homes.
"he last mentioned speaker said he
had walked most of the way from New-
port News, Va, was a native of Bridge-
port,asign-painter by trade, and was
now looking for work, so far without
success. As his ideas represent the
opiuioas of many of his compeers they
are given almost in full. lie would not
reveal his name, but said he bore a dif.

perhaps, he may be regarded as a fair
specimen of the genus tramp.
“It’s those Eyetaliuns and l’olncks."
he said, “that keeps us fellows out of

various ways, which must give eAAAploy-
