NEW YORK. ._ .r' “ .__ A TRAMP AND A HOBO NOT THESAME. Eoboes Merely Men Out of “York and Cap- able of Being IIIade Useful. A tramp, says E. Lamar Bailey in The Forum, is not a hobo; a hobo is not a tramp; a vagrant is neither; a criminal is none of these. * * * A tramp is a man of such mental make- up that he has no higher aim than to exist and have “a little fun” occasion- ally; avoiding responsibility and re- straint and all manner of mental con- - cent-ration. He will walk only when he cannot ride, and will work himself tired going from house to house, rath~ er than accept a job on the promise of a meal. The term “hobo” was not originally of evil significance. .It originated in the \Vest, when the great tide of hu- manity swept in that direction; and it, was applied, to the many who, failing of their first hopes, were forced to the necessity of tramping from community to community in quest of employment. A hobo is a better sort of man than a tramp, has more self respect, is usu- ally strong. and may, I believe, he called a tramp in the first stage. Many hoboes are merely men outof work who were forcedto the road by cir- cumstances which they could not con- trol. ' . A vagrant loafs around a town as long as he can. He does not jump trains—he lacks the spirit to do that—— but he may sneak into a box car. He is often a “grafter,” that is, he blis- ters his arm, pretends to be paralyzed, sells pencils, tells pitiful tales of for- mer brilliant prospects, or what not; and very likely has the whiskey or opium habit. Hoboes are never “graft- ers,” though they may have the habits just mentioned. Very few genuine tramps resort to the grafting scheme. Hoboes are products of industrial conditions and of the attitude of soci~ ety toward unforthnate' able-bodied men. It would be interesting to in- quire how many hoboes have drifted into our regular army and made good soldiers, and how many responded to the President’s call for volunteers. Tramps are tramps by natural bent, seconded by early training. You sel- dom find an old hobo; there are many old tramps. A hobo will not become a tramp if he can help it * * * You can hardly save the tramp; he is too far gone. Let him alone and save the hoboes, and the tramp problem will be, to a large extent, solved. Most of the 100,000 men on the road today are hoboes. They can be saved. WHAT HE DIDN’T CONSIDER. Unfair to Judge a. 1IIan by the General Knowledge He Possesses. Two men were talking. “What. I admire among our artisan class,” said one with the air of a su- perior person, “is a little broader knowledge than is defined by the mere walls of his shop. ,Now. I have in mind two shoemakers whom I see occasionally, as they are botlrlteuants of mine. Both of them are prompt, in- dustrious, honest men, but one is as ignorant as he can be even about the details of his own trade. \Vhy, I asked him the other day where shoe pegs were made, and of what wood and he hasn't the least idea, and I had to tell him. On the contrary, the other one not only knew that much, but was up on, the history of shoes and their material and manufacture, and he interested me for half an hour" by a most instructive talk on his oc- cupation. There is a vast difference, 1 think, between two men situated as these two are. and it is greatly to the credit of one that he acquires knowl- edge, not because it is absolutely ne- \ - . _ cessary, but because of his _des1re to broaden and get something more than what may dangle at a waxend or spread itself over a side of sole leath- er. Don’t you think as I do?" “Univer,” hesitated the other man. “I know your two shoemakers and have had work done by both of them,and I notice another difference that you probably overlooked.” "‘I knew you would,” responded the first man, rubbing his hands with pleasure. “Yes,” continued the other “the man who only knows how to make shoes can make shoes and the other chap can’t. There’s something in that, you know, to the man who must wear them.” A Sensible Man Would use Kemp’s Balsam for the Throat and Lungs. It is a curing more of Coughs, Colds.

W'SShington, D. 0., Nov. 29,—The United States supreme court, through Justice Gray, has announced the new bankruptcy rules which it' was au— thorized to frame and promulgate un— der the National Bankruptcy act of July 1, 1898. ‘ The rules have been awaited with much interest, as a. number of courts declined to proceed with bankruptcy cases until the supreme court annohnc- ed the new rules. Justice Gray said that ’the new rules would take effect on Monday, January 2, 1899, and that all proceedings here—- tofore taken substantially in confor~ mity to the act and the regulations of 1867, as far as practicable, would be upheld. 9 The rules, while promulgated at this time, be said, would not be ready for distribution for some time, owing to prOof revision, etc. The rules are preceded by an order prescribing the proceedings in bank— ruptcy under the law previous to th: day in which the rules go into effect. This order says that where the pro- ceedings are “in substantial conformity either with the provision of these gen- eral orders, or else with the general orders established by this court under the bankruptcy act of 1867, and with any general rulesvor special orders of the courts in bankruptcy, they shall stand good, subject, however, to such further regulation by rule or order of these courts as may be necessary or proper to carry into force and effect the bankrupt act of 1898 and the gen- eral orders of this court.” The first rule requires the clerk of the court to keep a. docket for entering cases in their order with a memoran-' dum of all proceedings except thosel entered by the referee. The docket is to be at all times open to public in- spection. Rules 2, 3 and 5 relate successively to the filing of papers, to processes. to the conduct of proceedings and to the framing of petitions. The clerk is required to indorse on each paper filed the time of its re- ceipt. All processes are to issue under the seal of the court. All petitions anl schedules are iequired to be plainly written and without abbreviation of interlineation. Rule No. 4 provides that “proceed— ings may be conducted by the bank— rupt in person in his own behalf, or by a. petitioning or opposing creditor, but a creditor will only be allowed to manage before the court his individual interest. “Every party may appear and con— duct the proceedings by attorney, who shall be an attorney or counselor au- thoried to practice in the circuit or district court. Notices and orders not. required to be served on the party per- sonally, may be served upon his at—' torney.” The Picquart Case. Paris, Nov. 29.—The Chamber 'of Deputies was crowded yesterday be- cause of the interest taken in the Pic— quart case. , M. Paul Deschanel, Republican, an— nounced that he had been requested to interpellate the government on the Picquart proceedings, and the pre- mier, M. Dupuy, proposed an immedi- ate discussion of the matter. M. Fourniere, Socialist, asked for an adjournment of an hour and a. half, that the Republican deputies might consult with their colleagues in the Senate regarding the adoption of a common policy. The chamber rejected the motion by a vote of 252 to 244. Twenty Sine Persons Drowned.

United States Minister Strauss at Constantinople has obtained a conces- sion which the powers had been for eighteen months vainly endeavoring to secure, viz., the granting of travelling permits to foreigners in the interior of Asia Minor. ' The marines landed from the United States cruiser Boston at Tientsln, on Saturday, were for the purpose of guarding ounlegation at Pekln. The latest advices received at the state de- partment, however, do not indicate an immediate outbreak there. Jacob Beck, secretary of the National League of Musicians, was found dead in bed yesterday morning at Cape May death being due to heart disease. He was for many years a. member or the famous Beck’s band of Philadelphia, composed of the father and seven brothers.

Birds and Even Insects Show a Love for Intoxicants. . It is a curious fact thatthere are topers innumerable in the animal kingdom. Bipeds and quadrupeds alike ire fond of alcoholic drinks. and. al- though some display aversion when first tasting liquor, they soon acquire a craving for it. ’ Chickens and ducks, after having once tasted brandy, become absolute slaves to the drink. They refuse to eat. grow thin and exhibit symptoms of dej'ection when unable to obtain their favorite tipple. Monkeys and apes are passionately fond of spirituous liquors. Of these, Buffon’s wine—bibbling chimpanzee was a shining example, and Brehm. the German zoologist, owned several :nandrills that drank Wine regularly and did not disdain brandy. i-mne intoxicated. innocently enough, :hrongh eating decaying fruit. In or- chards oxen and cows, after eating ivorripe apples. have been seen to dis- play all the symptoms of drunkenness. I‘hey stagger, their eyes lose expres- sion, and they grow sleepy. ' It seems that animals are susceptible to alcoholism in proportion to the de- velopment of their intelligence. Ele- ohants are fond of wine and rum, and rats gnaw the staves of wine casks :0 get at the contents. Cats, however. rarely exhibit a fondness'for intoxi- canto. Among birds the parrot takes first place as an habitual toper. Insects nave many opportunities to become in- !toxicated. and it is the most active :hat most frequently avail themselves if the chance. There is an aromatic, .ntoxicating fluid in linden blossoms for which bees show an especial fond- mess. . Instances have been observed where swarms of bees regaled themselves . with the poisonous linden nectar until 'they exhibited all the signs of intoxi- cation.

' In the two days’ real fighting before Santiago inch of the different regi- ments became mixed. and for a. time were lost to their commands. This condition gave rise to the report that a certain few men had shown the "white feather.” One of the officers (if General Law— :on’s division obserVed a colored troop- er of the Tenth cavalry among his men. who explained that he had lost his command, and asked that he be allowed to remain where he was. He stayed and did fine service that :lay, and none of his white comrades were able to outdo- him in notable deeds of bravery. He twice risked wounded to places of safety. but each time es- caped uninjured. That night he asked the officer he had met earlier in the day to give him a. note to his own commander, explain- lng his absence, and certifying to his good conduct during the fighting that day. This was willingly given him. and with the precious paper clasped tightly in his hand, under cover of i l I I . I | l I I own command. The’next morning at daw‘fi Lieuten- ant L—, starting on a search for wounded men in his division, hap- pened to stumble over a prostrate ;l)ody. He immediately recognized the brave cavalryman of the day be- fore. who was fast losing conscious- Jess. l struggling a moment for strength to speak, the prostrate man held up his precious little slip of pa- per and said, “Give it to Captain ; A——-. of L troop, if you can find him, and tell him Williams wa’n’ ird.” \Vith a look of satisfaction in his eyes his hand dropped to his side, and he was dead. That hero rests now in a. shallow trench. with ten or twelve other un- known privates—New York Herald. A. 110 COW- THEIR MAIL COMES TOO OFTEN. Country Folks IVlIo Object to hIodern Mail Improvements. “The 119,. ' revision of the star routes is doing a great deal of good in the South,” remarked Chief Clerk Day, of the railway mail service, “and en- abling lots of country folks to get their letters and papers daily where they formerly received them only once or tvvice a week. Strange to say, how- ever, the change is not always hailed with joy. “Over in Gilmer County, Georgia, a star route agent juggled things around weekly town, and was chuckling over the idea that he had-been a benefactor to the whole district when the post- master hunted him up with a face as long as a backwoods sermon. “I wish you would fix it to change that thar mail back agin like it was,’ said the old fellow, earnestly. ‘What!’ ex- claimed the agent, in amazement. ‘Why, what on earth is the matter?’ “Well, it’s like this,’ said the postmar- ter. ‘Our folks has been used to comin’ fer their letters every Satur- day an’ was well suited- Now this here new scheme has been started, and it breaks ’em all up. They feel kinder uneasy like onless they come in every day, and they just can’t do no work. The crops is gettin’ plumb neg- lected. We all want you to switch her back agiu as quick as you kln.’ “The agent went away deeply dis- gusted, and sent in a special report in which he intimated that an annual mail would about meet the needs or the county.
