ONE OF THE most remarkable and
pathetic aspects of hot weather
suffering is the failure of peo
ple to use means readily at hand
for making themselves comfort
able. What, for instance. Is more easv
than for a g.n'.l'nian to leave off his
coat. It costs no time or money, and
would often bring immediate relief And
jet In. -offices, mi the street, on trains,
everywhere multitudes of men apparent
ly sane, can be seen sweltering in hot
coats, with the tnercurv at !n on a
bumid day .Moreover, these men are
often accompanied hv ladles whose dress

In the police annals of Portland the
chase which will he always remembered
is the mi'inorahle day when llarry Tracy,
who afterwards made his escape from
the Sab in penitentiary, and a com
panion were chased from their hiding
place and ran down the street, hoarding
the engine of a Fourth street train just
pulling out. Tin y ordered the engineer
to go fust on pains of death. The
of fleets who were hot after Tracv and
his companion had the step Fourth
street grade to thank for the success
of their chase.

The engineer poolly dei l!ed thatre

Impossibility to run faster up the grade.
When arrested on the engine Tracy
troubled the local police no more until
he began his spectacular break from the,
state prison.
Danny Veiner. formerly a citv de
tective, and now employed hv the United
States National bank, had an experience
with Tracy in-fore he achieved even the
local fame of the train episode. Tracy
had sworn to even his account with
Welner One day he saw his chance,

Let us glance for a moment at the
citv's roof resources. On a very con
servative estaniate one tenth of the
population, about .lOCOOrt people could
find sleeping accommodations on New
York Citv roofs for 10 weeks of the
siinitn6!, not to sav longer. Tjiut would
amount to one wc k each for 3,c0,000
people, pr.iotlcallv everv man. woman

all the fresh ail o'ft:ngs provided by
philanthropy are a drop In the bucket.
It would amount to "on times as many
cool, refreshing nights as n.re pro

New York Association for Improving thw
Condition of the Poor.
It surely is needless in these days to
arsie about the benefit thnt would re
sult by exchanging the hot, foul, dust-and-germ-laden
air of the tenements for
a coil, clean, quiet roof where even
the noises of the street are hushed and

Hoboes a Nuisance.
The east side freight yards are the
bugaboo of the patrolmen of the second
night relief, for it is their duty to rout
out the hoboes who ride in on the roofs
and the brake-beams from the box cars,
-w:,here they have enscounoed themselves
for""wWf??s left of the night.
WWat few lights there are In the
freight .yards a ways seen to shine di
rect iy In one's eyes. There are elevated
roadways, unfilled blocks, the docks,
long lines of cars, dark buildings with
main- sheds, in fact it is an ideal neigh
liorhood for a man to dodge a policeman.
oft to the police station any morning
a few minutes before 9 o'clock and see
the type of men routed out of the box
cars, one will wonder bow such roughs
ever arrived here. This Is the time to
.see thfm, for just before the morning
session of police court opens the occu
pants of the hobo pen In the jail are
lined up for Inspection by the detectives.
Here at the end of the line is a hoy
with dirty cheeks and frayed clothes.
Ho is a young hobo, perhaps lured to
tln life of the road by the tales of the
ohl tramps. He Is confident that all he
will hear is "get out of town within an
