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.

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. —

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.

Most Wonderful Cave In the World.
The most wonderful cave in the
world is in the island of Tonga, in the
south Pacific. 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
