From the Milwaukee Ser.t'nel. Ten miles from Brule, Wis., is about the oddest town in the country. It has 300 in- habitants, every one ef them a tramp. It is a village of tramps. It is also something of a Utopia. No one pays rent; no one works; everybody loafs; all are fat, happy and lazy. There may not be $10 in the town. and there is no reason for the pos- session of money. There is nothing to buy and nothing to sell. Vulgar commerce nev- er disturbs the peace of the community. The houses are new, the streets are broad. Nearby are the deep waters of Lake Su- perior, and ten miles inland is the raiiroad running between Ashland and Superior. The railroad is handy when any member of the community decides upon taking a little tour, and the Inke is convenient be- cause of the fish it furnishes. Within a radlus of half a dozen miles are enough farms to supply the village with pilfered produce. ‘These farmers ahd thi few people who know of the existence of the place call it Trampville. The railroad men who have heard of it describe it as Hobohurst-by-the- Lake. The residents, however, adhere to its official title, Clevedon. Back in 1880 a sywdicate of English cap- {talists conceived of ideg|that a town could be established at the miduth of the Bolse Brule river, which in time would compete with the clty of Superior and attract much of the lake teaffic. Where the Brule river flows into Lake Superior the land was cleared and a townj site;mapped out. Me- chanics and builders of all kinds were em- ployed with a lavish hand and houses and buildings grew up almost in a night. Such quantities of money wege poured-into the scheme that Clevedom goon attracted at- tention from the outside world, and nu- n.erous families came te: the place, bought lots and put up homes. In a year Clevedon had a population of about 1,100 people, and seenfed destined to become the great town the syndicate had Planned. A big_hotel was erected, streets were laid out and the well-built and bright- ly-painted cottages gave the place an alr of bustling prosperity. But the tide of lake commerce refused to sweep upon Clevedon. It kept on moving toward Duluth and Superior, just as it had before the advent of the new city. Then the population began to fade away. Cot- tege after cottage was deserted, and the next calamity was the collapse of the fund behind the syndicate. Two or three times the syndicate secured additional backing ard made powerful efforts to revive in- terest in the place, but the energy and money were wasted. Clevedon could not be resuscitated. By_ 1890 it was as dead as any place could be. Every one had left. The neat little houses were empty, the big hotel took on a ghostly look. Grass grew up in the well-lald streets. It was as silent as the pine forests surrounding it. No one ever went that way. It is many miles off the general line of travel, hidden in thick woods on all sides except where it faces the watcrs of the lake. Three years ago some Wandering Willie discovered it. Perhaps, years ago, he was one of those who had put his money and faith in the prosperity of Clevedon. At any Fate. cther hoboes soon after began to pay it fleeting visits. Last fall a score met at Clevedon. Some of them were not natural or voluntary tramps. They were products of the hard times. These saw the place, sized up the comfortable houses and the big hotel, and determined to spend the win- ter there. When others came along they were invited to join the permanent colony, and many did so. The pecullar part of the whole thing is that many of the tramps have decided to make Clevedon their regular home, and will stay there during the summer. Some tur- bulent spirits have evidently entered the colony, as there have been rumors of inter- recine strife, and there is going to be a regular election in thé place on the 10th of next month for the purpose of establishing a municipal board of officers, including a mayor, a treasurer, three trustees and a cerk. This election will take place in the hotel at 8 o'clock in the evening. Should any of the elected officers remain ‘away from the town for more than twenty-four hours his office will be forfeited and a suc- cessor will be immediately chosen. All of those who spent the winter there will be entitled to vote. The trustees will have full charge cf the property of the town, including the houses. ——_+e+_____ . New York's Pinnacled Sky Line.

To-lay it's hotter, and it tekes ore to ‘cool.’’ The frozen food merchant pox logic, and gave him the extra quan- tity. Two small boys, with a package of fire- crackers and a box of matches, had lots of fun in the Capitol grounds this morn- ing. Before they finished celebrating, how- ever, one boy threw a lighted cracker so close to hts companion that the latter's neck was burned. Then there was a fight, and when a man, whom the boys thought was an officer, approached, they deserted their supply of ammunition and fled. The man with the badge proved to be a cab- man and the boy who got behind a tree to hide soon discovered that fact and re- turned and got the crackers and matches. Charlies Young, colored, thirty years old, while riding a bicycle near Sth and N streets yesterday, collided with Neison Powell’s buggy. The rear wheel of the buggy passed over the cyclist’s stoinach, and the police took him to Freedmen’s Hospital for treatment. Last night ebout 9 o'clock the front door of Willlam T. Dewdney's coal office, No. 3823 M street, Georgetown, was found open. Pclicemen Hess and Trussell ascertained that nothing was missing, and secured the doer. Thomas L. Boggcs, who lives at No. 239 13th street southwest, had his foot badly crushed while working at Cumberland’s boat house, at the foot of 9th street south- west, yesterday afternoon. He was sent to the Emergency Hospital for treatment. A leaky water main at 29th and Q streets has been reported by the police. There is a broken limb of a tree hanging over the sidewalk on 4% street southwest, near McLean avenue. The police have asked that the obstruction be removed. Dangerous holes in the sidewalks in front of 341 10th street southeast and on 8th street southeast between L and M streets, respectively, were reported today by Lieut. McCathran. A similar hole in front of 1703 Q street was reported by the officers of the third precinct. Warm weather causes an increased use of the pumps, and the result is that many of them are constantly getting out of order.

Several days ago the officer re- covered the watch from a man named Henry Ford, and he said he had bought it trom Simonds. If the prisoner is brought back tonight he will probably be tried in the Police Court tomorrow. pas WORKED TOGETHER. How a Senator and a Correspondent Prepared an Interview. From the Pittsburg Dispatch. The late ex-Senator Coke of Texas, though as a rule a taciturn and a re- served man, had a serse of humor, and was something of a diplomat. Shortly af- ter his appearance in the Senate years ago, he was approached by a newspaper cor- respondent for an interview on a leading question of the day. The request had come frcm th@ nome office, as the corre- spondent explained. “Sit down, my young friend,” said Mr. Coke, “and tell me, the first thing, if I can trust you.” The correspondent sald pleasantly that he regarded himself as a safe risk. “Why I ask that,” continued the sena- tor, with a smile, “is because I have a confession to make. I don’t know much of anything abcut the question you men- tion, but I can't afford to admit that to your newspaper. I take this request for my views a 8 a compliment. I'm a new man on the scene and an interview in as prominent a paper as yours will help to introduce me. I ought to have some views. What do you krow about the question?” The correspondent replied that he had Tread the bills recently introduced bearing on the subject, had listened to the speech- es in advocacy of them, etc. The senator's face ighted up. “My young friend, do you want this interview right away?” “No, sir. It goes by mall. Tomorrow will do.” “Then you go and get copies of some of those bills and a few of those speeches and bring them here, and we'll have a conversation.” The correspondent returned in an hour with a bundle of papers, and he and the senator went over them together. The Senator would put in a word and then the correspondent would put in a word. Finally the senator said: “Now, you go home and write out the interview and bri: g the copy here.” This also the correspondent did, and upon his return his greeting was a cordial one. Senator Coke read the story twive over, repeating porticns of it aloud, and then, handing it back, he said: “My young friend, we work in double harness together admirably. That is all right, and you can send it on to your pa- per. New, you stand up for me and {ll Stand up for the interview.” The story was well displayed in print andl aS cet bliin a friendship between lor and the correspon: continued to the end. eS ITSD ———++____ HIS STRANGE DISAPPEARANCE, ¥ate of a Man Who Lost His Ticket on a Steamer Now First Disclosed. From the New York Sun. “The most remarkable case I ever heard of,” said the major, “was that of poor Bulger. You recollect how he disappeared —oh, thirty years ago, don’t you? Well, gentlemen, I met him only last week, and yesterday had the mournful pleasure of at- tending his funeral.” The older men, who had known Bulger, evinced some interest; the younger men, who hadn’t known him, tried to express some, but failed. The major went on: “I was going to Boston last week by the Sound route, and took the Amagansett, al- though I knew it was an old boat. About 11 o'clock the distressing band drove me to drink. As I was approaching the bar room I saw a shabby man whose appear- ance seemed familiar; and as 1 drew nearer, I started to see Epaminondas Bul+ ger, ee aS) pe “ ‘Bulger!’ I cried, ‘Epe Bulger.’ I could hardly believe my eves. ? “Yes, maje,” he said, with a glad choke in his voice, ‘It's Epe Bulger, and precious glad to see a friend again.’ ““I thought you were dead,’ I blurted out and he answered: “I might as well have been dead—for thirty years.” Then I drew him up to the bar, and we put things where they would do most good. Then, boys, he began and asked me about every one of you—about old King, and Jack, and Hilough, and the Test; and as I tqld him he checked ’em off, sigh- ing over some of these who were dead, and smiling happity-at the good news I told him of others. Then I asked him where he had n. “He told me. Men, that fellow’s lot has been miserable beyond belief!

So I have been here ever since.’ “Every day for thirty years he had sail- ed up and down the Sound, except when the Amagansett was laid up for repairs. He did net suffer actively; but the loneliness of being friendless in a crowd overcame him. He retained his state room for all those years, because the sign there required passengers ‘before leaving the boat’ to leave their keys in the doors of their rooms. As he never left the boat he could. not comply with this rule, and his nature? ac- curate and systematic to a fault, refused to let him evade it. “I went to his state room,” continued the major, ‘and we talked over old times and old friends again. I looked around his room; but it was bare, as the best state room always is. At last Bulger pulled cut a pack of cards: ‘I always play a game cf solitaire before I turn in,’ he said, and I watched him shuffle and begin to play. Idly I picked up the card case ani a card dropped out. “ “You've dropped a card,’ I said; but he replied, ‘No, it’s the joker.’ I picked it up to put back in the case, when I saw, gen- tlemen, that it was the missing ticket! “*Epe!’ I said, steadying my voice almost with my hands; ‘Epe, this isn’t the joker! It’s—it’s your missing ticket.’ ““The dickens you say!” he cried, jumping up. ‘Then I've been playing with only fifty-one cards all those years.
