A GERMAN "KINO OP TRAMPS."
One* a Valiant Soldier, Ha Baeamo a
Hopalaaa Wreck.
A few days ago there waa burled la
Brooklyn, N. Y., the body of William
Heiser, alias "Jumbo,” 45 years of age,
He was known as “The King of
Tramps,” and for the past twenty years
was one of the most interesting' char
acters of the city. He was the son of
the mayor of a town in Germany, and
through a money broker was in receipt
of an allowance of $100 every three
months. Even under the dirt of a tramp
he showed his breeding. Tall and com
manding in appearance, he was in the
habit of reminding all with whom he
came in contact that although a tramp
he was once a gentleman. Of the thou
sands who knew him no one could con
tradict him. Twenty years ago he made
his appearance in Brooklyn. It was at
the time when lodging houses were at
ached to the station houses. He was
tver about the Bedford avenue station,
cleaning and tending the furnaces. All
attempts to make him talk of his pre
vious life were a failure. His only an
swer was: "I am a gentleman if I am a
tramp.” It was his pleasure on receiv
ing a remittance to take his friends out
and get them drunk and then pay their
flnAS ThlVilurh fho mnnav Virnlrfli* If vai
learned that "Jumbo” gained a gold
medal during the Franco-Prussian war,
but that having Incurred the enmity of
the German government he came to
this country. Eighteen months ago, on
expressing a wish to reform, his rela
tives sent him $1,000, with which ha
started in the furniture business, but
failed. An officer found him sitting on
the steps of the hospital at Bedford ave
nue and South Third street. He awoke
him. "Keep moving,” said the officer.
Jumbo’s reply, “They don’t know me
any more,” was scarcely audible, but he
kept moving as best he could. A few
hours later another officer found him
sitting In the gutter. He made an at
tempt to get up, but fell back uncon
scious. He was taken to the station
house, where he died. Fortunately the
regular $100 remittance was received
the day after, and he was not burled
In the potter's field.
THE MYSTIC THREE.
Something About the Time-Honored
Superstition for the Mumbar.
I was reading an article the other
day on the superstitious regard for the
number three, and it set me think
ing. There must be something in it The
third repetition of anything is gener
ally looked upon as a crisis. An arti
cle may be twice lost and recovered, but
when lost the third time is lost for
good. Twice a man may pass through
some great danger in safety, but the
third time he loses his life.
If, however, the mystic third can be
successfully passed all is well. Three
was called by Pythagoras the perfect
number, and we frequently find its use
symbolical of deity. For Instance there
are the Trinity of the Christian relig
ion, the trident of Neptune and the
three-forked lightning of Pluto. In my
thology there are the three Fates, the
three Furies and the three Graces.
Shakespeare introduced three witches.
I can remember the old nursery rhyme
about the three wise men of Gotham,
and the song of the three blind mice
whose tails were cut off by the farm
er’s wife.
I have heard of three volume novels,
and know that most doctors order their
medicine to be taken thret times a day.
We eat three times a da* The Bible
speaks of a man being thrtce blessed.
The old saw—"If at first you don’t suc
ceed, try, try again”—gives three trials.
Cleveland tried three times for the
presidency and succeeded twice. Surely
he. is not going to brave fate and try
again?
Hard on the BeseneM.
“Charlie Brown—later on the famed
Aretemua Ward of literature—and I
were walking toward the office along,
toward 1 o'clock In the morning, when
we were reporters together on the
Cleveland Leader,’’ said Gen. Warren P.
Edgarton, "when we heard piercing
cries from the second story of the house.
“ ‘Ah, ha! Beauty in distress!’ ejacu
lated Brown. ‘Let’s go over.’
“Over we went, and into the room
where the trouble was. We saw a
burly fellow fearfully belaboring bis
little mite of a wife, and I rushed lu
to do the saving act. Well, that fellow
was a whopper. The table was set for
a meal, he evidently being some sort ot
a night-worker, and the first thing he
did was to swing me across the top ot
it, making a clean sweep of the dishes
and the hash. Then I was fired under
the table and had it overturned on me.
Just then as I got a chance to breathe,
I looked around to see what Brown was
doing for the relief of the country.
“ ‘Time!’ he shouted; and as I turned
my banged-up head I saw him perched
on a chair on the corner, with his watch
in his hand, enjoying the situation
hugely.
“The ruffian let me up and we two
proceeded on our way. The next day
after I had the pleasure of reading a
vivid account of the fight described by
‘rounds’ as Brown saw the scrap.”—

Tildcn Encouraged Young Politician*.*
Governor Tllden believed In encour
aging the aspirations of young men
with a taste for political life, and In
according to them all the opportunities
for honorable party service and dis
tinction that could be put In their way.
Every man was to be used, and to be
given employment, as far as possible,
that would be congenial to him. The
party that adopts and follows a theory
of politics like this will make bosses
impossible, and adherence to such a
reasonable theory will add to rather
than diminish the number of members
of its conventisas ronepScaoua for char •

tloalar TraaaaeUoa.
Ha stepped out of a doorway on a
elty avenue the other night and eon*
fronted a pedestrian to eay:
“Time is money and I will detain
you but a moment”
“That's right—what is it?” waa the
query.
“You have no money for suoh as
me?"
“No, air—no, sir!”
“Because I would make for the
nearest saloon and spend it for drink?”
“That’s it exactly.”
“But, on the other hand, you are a
humane man and would not see me
want for food?”
“1 might be willing to fill you up at
a restaurant but I'm not buying beer
for tramps.”
“Certainly not We now eome to
business. To fill me up at the oheap*
eat restaurant in this town would
cost you from go to 98, as I have eaten
nothing for a week. On the other
hand, you can buy me off for fifteen
cents in cash. Sentiment does not
enter into the question. You either
pay out at least gs or only fifteen
cents. It's for you to say which. Ow
ing to the hard times you—”
“Here’s your fifteen,” said the pe
destrian, as he jingled two coins in
his palm.
“Thanks—that’s business.”
“But as you have consumed thirty
cants’ worth of my valuable time I'll
replace it in my pocket and send you
a bill for the balance. Straight busi
ness—no sentiment—good night.”
And the tramp watched him out of
sight and heaved a long sigh and
whispered to himself:
“That’s a horse on me, and X guess
Fd better look around for a saddle or
harness.”
In TIbo Veritas.
It wu a convivi&l party, and It had
raaohad that stage where the “invis
ible spirit of wine” makes itself de
cidedly visible. One of the party was
of the kind that carry well a heavy
load, and even when fully oargosd
present hast few evidences to the eye
of such a condition. Another was of
exactly the opposite nature, one of
those individuals who when In their
cups look it, smell of it, and are alter
nately laughing and crying, aggres
sive and affeetlonate. The quieter
looked the noisier over while the lat
ter was making an unpleasant exhi
bition of himself and remarked to a
neighbor: “How—hlo—how muoh a
drunken drunkard disgusts a sober
drunkard)”
