To Remove the Tramp.

The American Anti-Tramp Society is
the name of a national asssociation
which held its annual meeting at Fond
du Lac, Wis , last week. The object
of this organization is tersely and dis—
tinctly stated in its name. It proposes
to rid the country of the tramp nuis-
ance, but if it hopes to do so in a hurry
it is undoub.edly destined t) disap-
pointment. The 1188011 why the world
is never rid of drunkards and criminals
is that “the young ones grow up before
the old ones die." The supply never
fails because it is constantly replenished.
The same rule applies with equal force
and persistency to the tramps.

Prior to the panic of 1873 there were
comparatively few of these roaming va-
grants in the United States, but during
the long period of financial distress
which followed that panic a great army
of tramps was recruited. Many of the
men who then “took to the road” had
been industrious and honest citizens,
and would have remained so till the end
of their lives if they could have had
employment. Being dependent on
their daily labor for subsistence, they
were compelled t) beg or starve when
a paralysis of our industries threw mil-
fjons out of w. rk. It was believed then
that the tramp evil was but a tempor-
ary zfliietion; th at with a- revival of
business the wretched wanderers would
gladly rt turn to the industrial ranks.
But business reVived, good times came,
lbw was in active demand, the factor-
1 s, mills, mines, and all other avenues
to proli able employment were opened;
but the army of tramps did not dis-band,
nor did its numerical :~trength experi-
ence a great reduction.

We are assured by those-"who have
thorougily studied the tramp problem

{filth a view to remedying the evil, that

Almost of the great number of men who
go up and down the land subsisting on
charity have adopted that vocation as
u permanency; have deliberately deter-

. mined not to work for a living. but to

stroll and beg. We do not advocate
cruel or harsh treatment of the mem-
bers of this army of vagrants. Many
of them hive no serious fault except
laziness. But it is neither cruel nor
unkind to arrest such men and put be-~
fore them the alternative of work or
hunger. There is work enough to pro-
vide employment for all the tramps
Without taking a day’s labor from hon-
est and reputable workers, There are
millions of miles of bad roads to be re-
constructed, and millions of tons of
stone to be broken up as material for
road building. It is entirely feasible
to apply tramp labor to this great and
important business. Humanity, econ-
omy, morality, and public safety com-
mend this plan,

MISS ESTHER LOUISE SMITH.

The funeral of Miss Esther Louise
Smith, who died at the home of her
sister. Mrs. Sarah L. Bessey on West
avenue, Tuesday night. in the 48th year

row afternoon at 2 o’clock, Rev. S. B.

her sister-in law Mrs. Elbirt Raymond,
on Main street, where she was at the
time visiting, since which time she has
l-v.d With'her sister, Mrs. Bessey at
whose home she died.

The deceased had for a number of
years been afflicted with an ailment that
baffled the skill of physicians, and she
was at times a great 'sufi'erer, all of
which she bore with a fortitude that
was remarkable. She gained tempor-
ary relief by spending a few m'onths of
every summer in Litcbfield county, but
on her return home from such trip last

ummer did not seem to have b‘enefitted
‘ is usual. She kept up a happy exterior

and only to her immediate friends was

it known that her complaint had as-

sumed an alarming nature.
About five months‘ego she was forced
to retire to her bed when she slowly but
surely approached final dissolution,
despite the devoted care of friends and
relatives and the tend-west ministrations
E . . .
of her faithful physmian, Dr. J. M. Co-
burn. ,
Not a day during her final illness was
there that some friend did not send in a
floral token of kindly wishes—and be:
ing a great lover of flowers they Were a
source of much cheer to her.
She had for a number Of years been
a member of St. Paul’s church, and did
as much if not more than any other one
person in securing funds for the erec-
tion of the Union chapel in. West Nor-
.walk. ' .
With an excellent education and pos-
sessing a cheerfulness and vivacity of
spirit, with attractive and engaging
manners, she was always welcomed into
society,.and was appreciated by all for
her kindness of heart and her happy
and cheerful temperament. To her
“We will not say good-bye,

But in some brighter clime .
B.d her good morning.”

three years ago, and several Norwalk
friends were present at the wedding.
Mr. William Olsen of this city acted as
best man. Life neVer seemed happier
to both than on this auspicious occasion,
unless perhaps it was on the occasion
of the advent of a little daughter who
came to gladen their home. But in the
height of their happiness they were
stricken by the death of the loved little
one. Soon after their marriage they
lived on Elm street this city, but a few
months ago she went to her mother’s
home in New York, where she died as
above. Mrs. Van Ness had been in
failing heaith for nearly a year and her
death although not funexpected was
none the less sorrowing. The deceased
was a niece of Mrs. John D. Kimmey

this city, all of whom will sorrow at her
call from earth to heaven. The funeral
