The Man Who Compésed the Musio for “We Are Coming, Father Abraham.” The man who. odmposed. the music BROWN & CALKINS, fo Proprietors for Whittier’s song, ‘“We Are Coming, Father Abraham, Three Hundred Thonsand Strong,” is an old and somewhat PRIDAY ».05 0.0 eee: DEC. 3, 1897 decrepit piano tuner, who carries on his *. business near Windom, Minn. His name ij A. B. PRINCE OF TRAMPS. ME IS THE HEAD OF THE VAGRANT FRATERNITY. A Class of Tramps That Prey on Their Fellows—They Generally Travel In Parties of Three—The Yaghum Kills on the Slightest Provocation. A new word was recently added to f2e. police vocabulary in Pittsburg. For years the local authorities have wondered if there was not in vagrants’ parlance a special word descriptive of the variety of tramps that prey. upon their fellows. Some arrests that were tiade the other day supplied the desired ‘thew. “In one night three citizens were teld up by three tramps; The detectives raided a cheap lodging house and after a désperate fight arrested nine tramps. As the prisoners were brought into the police station a ragged vagrant who had secured lodgings for the night nudged his cell mate and whispered: “*They’re yaghams."’ As the bank burglar is the aristocrat of the thieving professicn, so the yagbum is the prince of the tramp fraternity. As he silently swings himself intoa boxcar and surveys the other vagrants who are stealing rides he smiles at the looks of terror that greet his entrance, for. as the average tramp preys on the farmer’s hen roost so the yaghum Preys on the tramp. It is hardly necessary for him to draw his revolver as he enters the boxcar. By intuition his brothers recognize his superiority and proceed to hand over part of the proceeds of their raids. Slowness in paying up is remedied with the revolver. According to Detective McTighe’s statements many a poor tramp who has resisted the yaghum has been plundered of his smal) possessions and his mutilated’ body'has added one more item to the coroner’s ‘‘unknowns killed by a train.’’ Yaghums generally travel in parties of three. It is said that by practice they have acquired such proficiency in throwing a man from a freight car that in nine cases out of ten they can toss him under the wheels. “‘The burglar,’’ sgid Detective McTighe, ‘‘uses deadly weapons only as the last resort to save himself from arrest The yaghum kills on the slightest provocation. He knows that the chance of being hanged for the murder of a tramp is almost nothing, and the almost certain immunity from punishment has made him extremely careless in shedding human blood. A yaghum would not hesitate to kill his brother tramp to rifle his pockets of a dollar. ‘‘But the yaghum is a terror even to the members of a higher order of the criminal classes. Burglars, sneak thieves and highway robbers are frequently compelled, by the exigencies of their profession, to jump a freight train to get, unobserved, out of some locality. They know the yaghum. They know ot his disregard for human life. They know that, while they themselves will shoot or kill only to save themselves, the yaghum has no scruples, and they fear him.’’—New York Sun. .

He had considerable reputation as a composer and singer and the Republicthem. On the way he read the which had just been published. studied it, formulated a tune, hummed it and got the rhythm, and that’ evening at the Defiance meeting he ‘sang the song for the first time. When he had finished, and the Inst echoes had died away, men méunted their chairs with wild enthusiasm, Swung their hats and brokg loose in cheers that rang with feeling. He Bang it again and again, and they would scarcely let him rest, Fort Wayne, and again aroused the same enthusiasm. He wrote ont the music and sent it to the publisher who had handled what he had composed, with instructions to publish it on his usual terms of royalty. It was published, and inside of a month more than 40,000 copies had been sold. In a few days the publisher failed and never received a dollar for the music. — New York Sun. CLOSED THE ROOM. Does the Ghost of Washington Still Stalk Through the Old Mansion? It was customary in the family of George Washington to shut up unused for two yearsa room in which death had occurred, says an exchange. . So, after the death of ‘the first president in’ the stately chamber with the great four poster bed which is still shown to visitors, Martha Washington, with her lonely heart, nightly climbed the attic stairs to lie in a low oeiled, sloping roofed room with one window—a room _intolerably hot in summer, with’ little'or no. means of securing a draft except by a triangular opening where the lower corner of the door had been cut off to make period had ended. ber, would she have seen the ghost of her dead husband?

Byron called it ‘‘a chapel of the seas.’’ It is formed in arock that is almost surrounded by theocean. This rock is about 60 feet high and broad proportionately. Many years ago a boy, the son of a native chief, was chasing a huge turtle, when his game seemed to sink into the rock. The lad watched and waited until the tide fell, disclosing a small opening in the rock about six feet under low water mark. Diving boldly, the young “hunter ’entered the aperture, and, to his surprise, came to the surface inside the rock. The rock was hollow, and its interior wae found afterward, when the natives explored it with. torches, to contain many beautiful stalactites. ‘When attacked and followed by enemies, the natives, who know the secret, leave their cances, plunge into the water and disappear. Their foes linger, astonished at their disappearance, for no perSon not acquainted with it would suspect that the rock was hollow.—~London Telegravh.
