AHID5IGHT SAID AND OTHEK SCEHE8
w iui'iN ros thi DisrxTtn.1
HE night was cold and
clear. The preceding
days had been warm and
sultry, so singularly
spring-like that doors
had been thrown open
to admit the sunshine
and balmy breezes. Peo
ple complained of lassi
tude and spoke of the
"spring feTer," and some were so foolish as
to cast aside their heavier clothing. Grad
ually the wind shifted; the damp breezes
were dried, and, almost ere it was known,
the little breath so suggestive of spring had
vanished and in its place was a cold, raw
wind 'neath a clear sky and fickle winter
had reappeared.
The genial police sergeant sat behind the
desk in Central station with his head rest
ing on his hand, musing on the events of the
evening thus far, or possibly thinking of
his wire and little ones at home. Over by
the stove was the Lieutenant, who had
dropped in after taking a skirmish to see if
ell was well with the patrolmen. Near the
Sergeant was the Captain, looking over the
day's docket. Near the railing was a patrol
man, who had just stopped in from a near
beat to report and say, "How do you do."
XOT USED TO CEXTBAL.
Suddenly the door opened, sending a lit
tle chill over the room that caused an invol
untary shudder. A forlorn looking man with
ft sheepish expression on his face entered.
End in a sidling manner approached the
desk.
"Well, what do you want?" said the Ser
geant, suddenly raising his head.
"I want some place to sleep, and I find I
haven't any money left. Won't you please
let a poor wreck stay in your place over
nicht,"
"How long have you been on this spree?
Ton look as though you were a cousin to
Dan McGinty. Ever here before?"
Suddenly the Sergeant's face assumed a
thoughtful expression, and his good humored
bantering ceased, as he said: "Well, come
on. I guess you're not used to Central, are
you? Bight this way. We don't keep a
first-rlass hotel, but I guess you'll find it
better than letting the wind whistle through
that coat of yours."
There was a jingling of keys and nngrat
lng of bars. In a short time the Serjeant
returned, resumed his seat again and placed
on the table the pad of paper marked "Bum
Socket." It read: James fisher, Chicago,
age 45, American, merchant, read and write,
etc Looking up the Sergeant said: "I
wish I had a good bed for that fellow; I do,
Straight. He told
A QUEEB STOBT,
and I know it was true, because it was not
in the usual style and his appearance is not
like the ordinary man that strays in that
way. Been a prosperous merchant; once
owned $400,000, so he says. How'd he lose
it? Indorsed a man's 'note; had a little
trouble with his boy, and then everything
went wrong. Wife' died; he got slack in
business and his money all went someway.
Once a Prosperous Merchant.
Be Ko. 7 on the docket and you bet he'll
have plenty of company 'fore morning.
Just then the big gong struck and all
Rave a start It was a fire alarm, but in a
distant ward and ont of that district
"Well. Joe Smith's in again to-night,"
t id the Sergeant, after the speculation as to
tbe location of the fire had ceased. "We
QUFt do something with him."
Too bad about that fellow, isn't It?"
Fpoke up tbe Captain. "Joe is one of the
jfinest lawyers of the bar if he wonld only
7et "booze" alone. And moneyl you bet he
can make all lie wants."
"Do you remember when he used to come
down with his pockets full of cigars and
band them around and want to look through

"Well, come inl Did you think gas had
gone down, or this was a meat refrigerator?"
And two more lodgers walked in.
SIOEE OP TOTS SEEO east's chaff.
"I suppose you're out of work, or your
great grandmother died and failed to leave
yon a bouse and lot, didn't she? or, didn't
the 'bumper special' from Philadelphia
have a sleeper. Oh, yes, I suppose you can
atay, ir you .behave yourselves. Come
along; but you must skip out in the morn
ing or the Judge m ty give you six months."
The Sergeant turned and gave his com
rades a sly wink as the two fellows falter
ingly disappeared behind the iron doors.
As it stood ajar a wail of discordant voices
was wafted out of men cursing and the
babble of drunlcen men, while from the
tar end, occupied by the women's de
partment, came a Bound of sobbing
from some miserable woman or girl
The lodgers came in fast, and their tales
were as varied as they were in character and
appearance. One said he was a farmer, but
had lost his money in a little attempt to in
crease bis store by speculating in stocks
through a friend. Several others were me
chanics, one was a draughtsman of no little
skill as evinced by the box of instruments I
ana drawings lie tbowed as ins sole posses
sions. Ee had had bad luck getting a job,
and probably spoiled his chn ces by taking
a few glasses to cheer him. u.p. One was a
pas fitter, and so on down tbe list of occupa
tions. Some had become regular tramps,
flouting helpleuly from city to city. Others

THB THUS AND THE PALSK.
The pnblio is quick to lose confidence in
a man", and many would "set down" half of
the tales told by these free lodgers as made
for the occasion; but many of them are true,
and if one will but philosophize a little and
can read character such can be picked out.
Central is just the place to study some re
markable chapters in life.
The Sergeant was asked how it was that
the police authorities keep so many men
over night free. Tbe reply was that such
men were better in the jail than at large. A
desperate man is liable to make trouble of
some kind. It is a simple application of
the maxium that "an ounce of preventive
is worth a ponnd of care." It is only in a
severe winter that the number of lodgers is
large. At one time 76 stayed over night at
Central. Almost any night there are some,
and usually they are taken in, the Sergeant,
of course, satisfying himself that they are
worthy of even such kindness and have not
been at the "hotel" too often before.
While the Sergeant was yet talking some
mysterious actions began to be manifest.
Several detectives entered, and after talking
with tbe Sergeant, supped out. The in
spector was with them. The Cantain and
Lieutenant had long been gone. Outside the
door the little squad scattered and all
seemed unusually still inside. Soon two
reporters entered and asked if "the load"
had come yet. They were told no and said
that the operator who took the telephone
reports from the men and officers on the dif
ferent beats had told them he had been asked
to keep a lookout '
FOE A QUICK CALL
Irom a certain box, and had notified the
patrol, though such provision was not
necessary, except to give the patrol wagon
men an inkling of what was going on that
they could make a little'more cfiort to make
time, for the "den" to be raided was so situ
ated that the wagon would make too much
noise or be liable to attract attention, ifnear
the spot.
There was a rattling of wheels and in a
moment the patrol wagon drove up to the
door. Six men were led in and disappeared
behind the bars. Hn old table, two packs of
One of the Late Oueslt.
cards and a pile of chips were then brought
into the station house. Those in charge of
the patrol wagon hastily told the reporters
all about the raid and then hustled ofi with
the wagon to be ready for another call.
After the Sergeant'returned from register
ing the new guests and all was again quiet,
he took out the box he called his curiosity
box from a drawer, and put the poker
chips and cards in it. It contained sev
eral revolvers, a knife with blood
stains on it, n box of drawing instruments,
a bottle which once contained poison, a
snuffbox and numerous other articles, all of
which probably had histories.
It was after 3 o'clock and no more "lodg
ers" applied or were brought in before the
dawn of day. It had not been an excep
tional night at Central. The scenes are
varied each night. Sometimes a doctor has
to be called in a hurry to attend to some
man or woman who has received injuries in
a fight, or a murder or fire makes things
lively. All these occurrences are familiar
to the public At.t.ttm-
Head Them Carefully.
Below are given ten good, substantial
reasons why Chamberlain's Cough Bemedy
is the best:
1. It will cure a severe cold in leu time
than any other treatment
2. It does not suppress a cough or cold;
but loosens and relieves it.
3. It relieves the lungs, which Is of great
importance in treating a cold.
4. It is the only remedy that will cause
the expulsion of mucus from the air cells of
the lungs.
B. It renders tbe mucus less tenacious and
easier to expectorate.
6. If freely used as soon as the first symp
toms appear, it will cure a severe cold in a
single day.
7. It will prevent croup and avert all
dangerand anxiety arising from that dreaded
disease
& It has cured thousands of cases of
croup, and careful inquiry fails to discover
a single casein which it has ever failed.
9. It does not contain opium, chloroform,
nor any other injurious substance There is
not the least danger in giving it to children.

PACTS AS TO THE SITTING CONGRESS
rwarrriN fob tux dispatch.)
It is a curious fact bnt an undeniable one
that the great cities of this" country have
never furnished the wise, reflective and
penetrating statesmanship which has made
this nation great and prosperous, and has
guided it into safe and salutary ways. The
average readers of the great newspapers
published in the centers of population
throughout this country manifest no very
distinctive respect for the rural magnates
who are found in Congress or in the high ad
ministrative places of the Government
Such people will doubtless smile at the as
sertion made about the statesmanship that
emanates from the great cities, for a tendency
seems to have grown up of late to sneer at
the class of men who have been dubbed as
"cross roads politicians," "rural sages" and
"turnip representatives."
This tendency is indicative both of inex
cusable ignorance and foolish prejudice
The history of this country has been made
and glorified ratner by men from the rural
districts than by those who have had their
origin and homes in the large cities of the
land, and it is entirely probable that the his
torian who may compile the data for the
story of this nation's future will have no
cause to change this record. The proportion
of statesmen of ability in Congress has al
ways been overwhelmingly in favor of the
country districts. This was true in the first
years of our struggles for national existence,
it continued so down through the days of
our gradual progress to greatness and pros
perity and is equally true now.
LOOKING BACKVWABD.
Let us see if history bears out this asser
tion. Glance backward for a century
through the records of the Continental Con
gress, of the National Constitutional Con
vention, and over the changing story of the
war for independence and the later years of
the country's life. How many statesmen
pre-eminent in ability and magnificent in
their attainments and success have the big
and populous cities of the country given to
this nation? Of the great and renowned
soldiers whose names are memorized in
storied marble or massive bronze, and held
cherished in the hearts of millions of their
countrymen, how many of them came from
the crowded centers of population?
You can count those who did almost on
the fingers of one of your hands. Philadel
phia, Boston, San Francisco, Chicago, Cin
cinnati, St Louis or the cities of tbe South
have not a single name on the roll of their
history who can lay claim to great states
manship. The Quaker City has a sort of
hall defined claim to some interest in Ben
Franklin, and there is a kind of hazy tradi
tion that Henry Clay, in his prosperous
days, occasionally bought his clothes there.
Coming down to these later days, there, of
course, is Samuel J. Bandall, a born leader
of men in and sometimes out of his party.
But Sam Randall does not really belong to
Philadelphia, for his home is outside ot the
city on his pleasant farm in the country.
Can anyone recall any other Man known to
the nation who within memory of the present
generation has made the great Pennsylvania
city proud and honored.
CHICAGO OBEAT IK TBADE.
Chicago, booming and pushing forward to
a leadership of the giant West, has thus far
in her wonderful history given to the nation
a line of wealthy, industrious and stirring
business men who have made the world
stand amazed at the enterprise that marks
their progress toward controlling and hold
ing the trade ot a continent. But what great
statesman, general or legislator has in
scribed his name on her birth records and
brought deserved honor to tbe splendid city
that sits by the lake side? 2Tot one as
yet
New York City itself the metropolis of
the continent has very little to boast of in
the greatness and renown of the men she has
given to the nation. Every now and then
some orator of a post prandial persuasion
tells of Alexander Hamilton as one of the
glorious sons of the city, yet even he was
not a native of the town, for he was born in
the West Indies. Of course, she had Aaron
Burr and Livingstone, but who else paid
allegiance to her in the early days, and who
lives to do her honor to-day ? Men of local
repute and renown yes but wnat big man
is there of her sons who stands head and
shoulders intellectually above his fellows
and whose name and fame fills the land ?
William M. Evarts? Yes. von mav call
him a statesman, though he has not added
to bis fame since he went to the New York
Senate, and though he lives in New York
he was born in Boston just 72 years ago.
HE YOBK'S COKGEESSMEN.
Look at the list of the Congressmen sent
to represent the metropolis in the House of
Representatives. Did anyone beyond the
confines of the North and East rivers which
flow arpnnd the town ever hear ot Dunphy
Turner McCarthy, Quin and the others?
True, Amos Cummings is a bright and suc
cessful newspaper editor and Roswell P.
Flower a judicious and trained legislator,
but neither ot them would expect to rank
among the statesmen of the country. Yet
such are the classes of men now contributed
to the country by the largest, wealthiest and
most intelligent of its cities.
Take Boston as another instance. If
anywhere in the country one conld
reasonably anticipate finding a sup
ply of educated and intelligent
statesmanship it would surely be in this
center of New England trained and cultured
thought She gave to the country Charles
Sumner, and for that deserves the thanks of
millions yet unborn. She had a sort of half
partnership with Philadelphia in Ben
Franklin in the earlier days of herexist-
i ence and does not forget to boast of both
iucbo K"at men. xui me worm nas not
been electrified by the doings of any other
famed men that the New England city has
produced within the memory of this or ot
the past generation. She cannot lay claim
to the Adamses or to Webster, ior the conn
try districts were their birthplaces and their
nomes, ana .Boston ont an occasional stop
ping place for them. Nobody outside of
Washington knows who represents Boston
in the House of Representatives to-day, and
does anybody care?
MAKT IIXTJSTBIOUS INSTAHCES.
What is true of Boston is equally so in
reference to tbe other great cities of the
land. Look at some of the old time states
men to begin with. In Pennsylvania James
Buchanan, Simon Cameron and such as
they, were veritable hayseed Pennsylvanians
coming from the country districts and the
products of rural constituencies. Thaddens
Stevens, the great apostle of reconstruc
tion and a man who wielded more power in bis
day in Congress than any other man who
ever stood upon the floor of the Honse,
spent his life when at home in a quaint old
farm house in Lancaster connty. Jeremiah
Black, the great Attorney General was a
.farmer a real farmer in York and wonld,
to-day, in all probability be called a rural
sage or a turnip representative.
New Tort repeats tbe same history.
William L. Marcy, Silas Wright, the Van
Burens, Horatio Seymour, William H.
Seward, Boscoe Conkling and the other
men who have made history for the nation,
belonged in their days ot statesmanship to
the interior anil country districts of the
State and notto Manhattan Island. Abraham
Lincoln and Stephen A. Douglas were both
sent to the front by rural "Western constitu
encies, and before their time the same conld
be truly said about Henry Clay, John O.
Calhoun, Lewis Cast, the Bandolphi, Madl-
son, Monroe, Jefferson and the long lino of
statesmen of fqrmer days.
THE FASX AND PEESENT.
Bluff old Ben Wade, Oliver P. Morton, of
Indiana; Jefferson Javis, .Henry wnson,
of Massachusetts; Andrew Johnson, Allen
G. Thurman, and a hundred other names
that will occur to the intelligent reader not
one of them was the product of a great city.
Perhaps this may be called ancient history,
but even now the central figures in the
every-dav life of this nation are not sons of
the metropolitan cities. They are what the
ward politicians of the bug towns call
"Hayseed Statesmen." The back settle
ments furnish the men who to-day guide
and govern the nation.
Benjamin Harrison springs from the bu
colic element in our politics and it was the
country district of Indiana that first pushed
him into rjrominence.sent him to the United
States Senate and started him on his up
ward and onward career, and finally landed
him in the White House.
Grover Cleveland owes all heever was in
national life to the interior districts of New
York. It was the rnral element that made
hira Sheriff, Governor and President. He
has settled down in New York City now.but
if he ever comes again before the nation as
the candidate of his party, it will be at the
behests of the country constituencies not
because the great cities favor him.
FBOM BUBAL DISIBICTS.
James G. Blaine was elected to Congress
from one of the farming districts of tbe
rural State of Maine, and such men s Sena
tor Allison, General'Alger, Judge Gresham,
Senator Hiscock, John Sherman, Senator
Edmunds and the others who stand beside
him in the front rank of the leaders or the
Republican party have been brought fnto
prominence by the rural districts that ha ye -
sent tnem to tne nails oi national legisla
tion. Who are the central and most prominent
figures in Congress to-day. Country men,
rural statesmen, hayseeders, they would be
called most of them. Tom Reed, of
Maine big, brainy and brilliant fellow
tender as a woman and unbending as iron
lives out in the country near Portland, Me.,
and the constituency that sends him to the
House of Representatives are, iour-fifths of
them, of the rural persuasion. His imme
diate predecessor, John G. Carlisle, of Ken
tucky, now the leader of the Democratic
forces on the floor of the House, is sent to
Congress from a back country Kentucky
district made up of eight farming counties
without a big town in any of them.
FABMEBS MADE ll'KINLET.
Major William McKinley, Jr.. of Ohio,
who is leader oi the majority in the House
of Representatives to-day and a promising
Presidental candidate in the ranks of tbe
Republican party has been 12 years in
Congress because" the agriculturists of four
big country counties iu Ohio wanted him
there. The farmers made him what he is
they gave him his opportunity and the
Major is a pretty good farmer himself.
Then there are the great objector, Judge
Holman, whom the farmers ot Indiana keep
in his place as a sort of watch dog of the
Treasury; and Joe Cannon, of Illinois,
grown grayheaded in the House and still
returned every two years from the five
plow-cut counties that make dp his district.
William H. Crane, of Texas, has one real
city in bis big bailiwick, and Judge Cul
berson, one of the best judicial minds in
the Honse, has none William M. Springer,
Kerr, of Grundy Center, la.; Breckinridge,
of Kentucky; Governor Gear, of Iowa; An
derson, of Kansas; Allen, of Mississippi;
Bland, of Missouri, and scores of others who
have made and maintained a national repu
tation are all "hayseeders" representing
agricultural constituencies.
BirrrATiON in the senate.
But the city men are surely the most
prominent men in tbe Senate? Are they?
How many Senators ot national eminence
are named as city men? Hawley, of Hart
ford; Eustis, of New Orleans; Stamford and
Hearst, of San Francisco; Farwell, of Chi
cago: Colquit, of Atlanta, and Hampton,
of Charleston, are nearly all that the conn
try knows anything about Take the real
leaders or thought, of eloquence, of legisla
tion in the Senate who are they? All of
them are men who may be truly called
"backwoods Senators." Senators Morgan,
Yoorhees, Sherman, Cullom, Ingalls, Beck,
Yance, Reagan and dozens of others are
among them, and they are every one of
them from larming centers of their States.
Can anyone deny that the country men
the "hayseeders" govern the country with
sense, prudence and ability?
