TEAMPS ON TEAM PS INTERVIEW WITS THE TRAMPS ON THE TRAMP QUESTION. The Mistake of the Present Mode of Treat- mentVictims of Misfortune Bather than CriminalsStrong Protestations of Wil lingness to Work, bat Inability to Secure ItTramps of Necessity and Not Choice Occupations and Characteristics as Told gjby Themselves. "What's your opinion of tramps?*' queried a prominent St. Paul lawyer to a GLOBE rep resentative aa the twain emerged irom the municipal court room one morning last week, after hearing the customary sentences pronounced on a score or more of these Americanized sans oulotts, whose growth has been of such a marvelously mushroom character since their first appearance on American soil. "Ask me something easy,"' was the jocular reply of the scribe, as the twain separated at an adjoining corner, the question in the meantime having kept up a persistent buzz in the reportorial tympannm, as though it was unwilling to be put off without some attempt at an answer. A few streets farther on a procession was encountered that would have made the rag tag brigade of jolly Jaok Falstaff almost split for very envy. Stringing along for half a block or more, progressed or shambled a half hundred of the Republic's malefactors, whose brief audience with the magistrate re sulted in their committment to the county iail. Thither they were windinga dogged ly, sullen, furtive-eyed crowd of men, whose shiftless, serpentine swagger was kept in subdued check by the subjective presence of the police. The lawyer's ques tion had not ceased ringing in the reporter's ear, and it now tattooed with redoubled energy, until the mental response came of, "Why not ask a tramp?" A tramp's opinion of trampsit came like an inspira tion. The experiment might result bene ficially, and it had the merit at least of not being hackneyed. A half hour later and a diminutive newsgatherer might have been seen trying to reach tb.6 ear that adorns the commanding pericranium of Deputy Sheriff Harrison. "Want to interview the tramps, do yon?" "Thai's it exactly," replied the GLOBE man, and it was forthwith decided a go. The courteous jailer was called, the iron door swung lazily inward on its cum bersome hinges, and in a moment afterwards the visitor was extended the freedom and liberty (application limited) of the house. Ascending a short flight of iron steps, and the upper corridor of the jail was reached, where, huddled in cells by fours, reclined in various postures the objects of the report er's visit. XHEX DOS'T X.TKT. TO TELL. Before giving the following interviews it is necessary to remind the reader that while the average tramp is glibly talkative on points where his grievances are concerned, he is atao reticent, to a- dejjree, on qttestions concerning that portion of his outlawed ex istence bordering on criminality. The ut most ingenuity of the enquirer falls entirely short of the canning exercised by the tramp in his replys to equivocal or criminating questions, and while the interviews that fol low may be relied upon as genuine, no ut tempt ia mr.^ other than to arrive at a negative status of the question from the tramps' own standpoint, deductions and inference alike remaining for solution at the reader's own option. The cells were approached in turns and their inmates questioned individually, not a few or whom were keenly alive to the odium attaching to their "profession," and all of whom attributed their misfortune to their inability to procure work during the winter months, while in most inHtances a sincere desire was manifested to quit the "business." A few utterly repelled tho imputation of "tramp," as applied personally, and com plaints against certain railroad corporations, who advertise in Eastern papers for laborers to work on new roads in this section of the country, were numerous and bitter, the indi gence and recklessness of many bein" directly attributed to this reason! It will also be seen that a majority of those interviewed are exceedingly young men, most of thom being unmarried, while with one or two exceptions, none of them have served during the late war, thus exploding a thread bare theory that the tramp, as an institution, is the product of the rebellion. The first twenty interviews were had with mon, who were confined to their cells, for refusing to work on the stone pile, for the reason, mainly, that thoy were "men," and declined to be made a spectacle of by being paraded throaRh tbe streets like cattle. "We are men," said one fellow, "and why don't they give a chance. I was arrested the first night I got here, and after serving ray time, 1 was released and arrested over again the same night, without having a chance to earn money enough to leave town. 1 tell you, he continaed, they must quit bad gering us fellows like dogs,or something will happen. They keep us penned up here, and lot us go without money. We can't always got work the same day we are released, and having no moans we are compelled to ask for something to eat. Then we are arrested again. I tell you, young fellow, the tramp's is no good business, and I knows it, but, we are men and that is no way to treat us." The above, more or less modified, and stripped of its dialect, is the echo of nine out of every ten men interviewed. WHAT THEY SA*.

He remarked that it took all kinds of people to make a world, and reckoned that the Lord had ordained tramps as a regular institution. The above interviews are necessarily want ing in not a few interesting particulars, which no man, however depraved, would furnish of his own volition, while on the other hand the information given is a fair criterion of the life, habits, employment, etc of at least 75 per cent, of all the tramps in the country. As might be expected from men under imprisonment, more or less com plaint was made about the food, beds, etj. of the jail, most of which are entirely un deserved and groundless. The reporter happened to be in the jail when dinner was served, which consisted of soup, bread potatoes and meat. A substantial bill of fare, well-cooked, bountifully served, and ate with a relish by those who had been at work on the rock pile, the only dissatisfaction coming from those who had refused to work in consequence of which they were fed on bread and water.

The Parity of Sexual Relations Treated by Rev. Mr. Mitchell-Impurity Hell, Parity Heaven-Talk to the Railway Men by Mr. E. InEersollElder n. A. Quick, of Iowa, Discourses on the Bread of Life. Purity in Sexual Relations. The Rev. Edward 0. Mitchell delivered an instrnctive sermon at the New Jerusalem clraroh yesterday forenoon on tho subject of "Chastity, or Purity in Sexual Relations," taking his text from Matthew, v-vni: Blessed are the pure ia heart: for they shall see God. The reverend speaker said that in pre viously considering the general sabjeot of chastity, the necessity was seen of personal purity in thought, life and action. It had also been shown that an impure heart fur nished an abiding place to the spirits of darkness and iniquity. There were some beasts whose depraved in stincts furnished a welcome habitation for the indwelling of the spirit of sin and dark nessa spirit like that which inhabited Babylon of old, polluting with its foul pres ence the fairness of tho temple. In consid ering the subject of chastity, it must be un derstood that to look on a woman with lust, was in itself the act of adultery. The beginning of most prominent down falls could be traced to some irregular rea son. Soloman, with all his abstract, wisdom, intellectually, was led away by bad women, and it was universally conceded that any associa tion whatsoever with depraved women was the beginning of ruin. Every young man starting in life should lay down the rule, never to associate with any woman whom he could not freely introduce to his own mother. The love of display was the worst snare that assailed women. There was a general disregard of the deep er spiritual responsibilities. No woman painted to deceive her own husband, but rather to appear that which she was not to men of the world and society. Solomon had i said that, "As a jewel of gold in a. swine's snout, so ia a fair woman which is without discretion." Tho depravity of most fallen women commenced with the cultiva tion of irregular thoughts concerning men. A woman's heart should be the sanctuary for the purest virtues. No matter how irregular a man's life had been, he always wanted to marry a virtuous woman, forgetful of the fact that women, too, had a most imperative righta necessityto exact the same condi tions. The principles governing the sexes were too little observed in this respect. It should be within the power of every women to make her intended husband define his own posi tion, as there was too much looeenegs in so ciety concerning matters that most vitally concerned the welfare of humanity. The prudish and false indifference of so ciety in this respect, was one of the greatest drJtwbacks to social and spiritual advance ment encountered in the present century. Men and women most learn that lesson, which teaches that true modesty and polite ness ia the essence of wisdom, and that spiritual politeness is the first principle of a correct life, for her laws are founded in wisdom. Woman was always the greater sufferer whsre society 'was most impure, and when the true relation of tbe sexes is dis turbed sheis invariably the loser. To main tain purity and correctness of life among men, it was necessary to have high manifes tations of purity among women. Every young man should betanght that impurity is hell, and that purity is heaven. They should be taught that recititude in youth is the only gaarantee for happiness in marriage. He could then have the felicity of laying his past life open to the inspection of his wife. Impurity among the sexes was more widespread than ordinary people had any idea of. Late statistic? demonstrated that the houses of bad repute in the great cities wore largely (enated by young girls who had left comfortable homes to enter upon a voluntary life of degradation for the reason that with the wages of shame they could best g-ntify a depraved craving for dress. It should ba learned that tho most resplendent exterior was no compensation for the los of inward virtue, and it frequently happened that the most wretched impurity was allied to th most alluring and polished exterior. Every child should be made acquainted with the physical surroundings before reach ing the age of man or womanhood. If there was any crime that shonld meet the punish ment of death, it should be visited upon the publishers and circulators of obscene books and Uterature, which tended so largely to inflame and demoralize the minds of youth. Children should bo taught the laws of sexual relation. There was a point beyond which none conld go without falling. Many a young girl who trusted to her natural im pulses had already sinned in her heart. The common idea among men was thai they wore constituted to live by impulse, and that they were not to blame for their frequent lapse from the true estate of man hood. This general looseness and licentious ness in society was smirching with filth the most sacred relations of life. It had even reached the sanctury, and bad women took a peculiar favor ia conducting their evil work in the churches. Such dia bolical blackmail should be hunted down and punished. The surest remedy against this was individual purity. No man would wilfully wrong the woman he truly loved. It must be realized that impurity was not only bad policy, but that it is a sin against God. It was the beginnings of lust that must be most zealously guarded against. The thoughts and tendencies of the mind must be watched, and if the heart and mind were permeated with the love for business, it would be impossible for the life to become contaminated. The speaker closed with an eloquent appeal for personal rectitude, urging the necessity for a more thorough subjection of the gross er impulses to the spiritual power of the mind when directed by an upright motive and a pure heart. Bread of Life. The religions exercises at the rooms of the Young Men's Christian association last even ing were opened with a song service and scriptural read ng, following which prayer was offered by Elder D. A. Quick. The Rev. C. H. Pierce, from' Iowa, delivered a short address on the Subject of the "Bread of Life." basing his remarks on Matthew iv chapter, i verse: Bat he answered and said, it is written, man ball not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. The speaker first adverted to the prepara tion made by Christ for the great work of revolutionizing the world. He came into the world for the purpose of working the greatest revolution the world had ever known. Christ's interview with satan was alluded to as an example for Christians to re-ist the tempter. The king of evil had ap proached the Savior of mankind through the material senses, demanding that Christ should turn the stone into bread. The text embodied two great characteristics, viz: The natural and the spiritual life. Christ ex horted his disciples to take no thought for th.s life, assuring them that they must seek first the kingdom of God and ail tbines shonid be added unto them. The Chris tians thoughts shonld be directed to the spiritual life, and its food should be the word of God. Christians were liable to be drawn away with the enchantments of the natural life to the neglect of their spiritual welfare. The conversation between Christ and Nic odemus regardinegr the birthb intgoi the spirituael Eofre a tu^l^f rinng oat th truth that except a man be born of the spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of Christ. The word of God is given as tho holy spirit, and a sinner could not be born again except through the word of God. The powerful and eloquent preachine of Hurt* constrained his listeners to say, What shall we do to be saved?" and only through the word could mankind receive the benefits of the birth through spiritual bap- The Railroad Men. At 4 o'clock yesterday aitemoon quite a large crowd assembled at the Y. M. C. A, room. The meeting was specially held for toe railway men, and was under the im mediate snpenrfeiou of Mr. E. D. iBgewoU, DEFECTIVE PAGE THE ST. TAVh DA1EY GLOBE, MONDAT MOBNING, MARCH 24, 1819. secretary of the railway branch of the T. M. O. A. of the United States. The usual song and prayer services opened the devotional exercises. In his prayer, the Rev. Dr. Dana especially alluded to the importance of the work among railroad people, and invoked the blessing of God upon the labor to con vert them to an appreciation of the gospel's Mr. Ingersoll then read from the gospel according to St. Matthew, selecting the "Parable of the Talents." After song, the gentleman addressed him to an interpretation of the parable and its application to railroad men. The gist of teaching was that every man was judged according to his ability and he who found fault with the opportunity as given blamed his Creator. The world is made np of all sorts of people. The wiper in the round-house, the brakeman, and all con nected with railroads had their important and respective missions to fulfil. Thereon the speaker extolled the worth, attention to business, heroism and sense of responsibility attached to each railroad employe. In a few words he explained the inception of Christian work in 1872 in Clevelaud among railroaders, aud the happy and wonderful result attending it. To-day there are fifty stations in which the Y. M. C. A. are domi ciled for the good of the railroad employes. The importance of the work to tbe men, to the public and to the management was al luded to, aud endorsements from high offi cials were read. The peculiar temptations constant to Iheir presence, to which rail roaders were exposed, were men tioned, and those who' shun them had the confidence of their employers. Many touching inci tents were related, and the address was very entertaining, command ing, and retaining the attention of the largo audience throughout its delivery. The railroaders in attendance were asked to rise, and quite a number responded, show ing that the assemblage was largely com posed of railroad men. The exercises con cluded with prayer by Rev. D. R. Breed, and the benediction pronounced by the Rev. Dr. Dana. CITY GLOBULES. Overshoes are at a premium. The ice king has evidently lost hia grip. The board of public works meets to-day at 10 o'clock A. H. Twenty tumpa will be discharged from the county jail to-day. Church attendance yesterday was painfully small in the sanctuaries. There are very many fair weather Christians. While the city folk grumble at tbe slop and slush, the farmers welcome it as worth a ton of manure te every acre. Th decision in the Lantenscblager motion for anew trial lis rendered to-day at 2 o'clock p. M. Judge Wilkin delivers the opinion. Last night Billy Horn, too many horns ahead, was run in about midnight by Officer Nugent. Horn xs a notorious character, and its ready for anything in an evil way from petty to gran 1 larceny with the accompaniment of burglary. Run him out. The weather, yesterday, was analyzed by a local scientist and found to consist equally of snow, rain, bail, slash and profanitya vxle and sinister compound of which yonjpaid your money and took your choice. Very likely Charles Brack was driving fast to put up his buggy and get out his sleigh be fore the snow melted. Anyway he came bulg ing along by Seven Corners yesterday af ter noon. Officer Mcilahon eaw him and called for a halt, which Brack obeyed. Then be was walked off to the station, where he was booked for fast driving. Old Boreas uncorked his vials last night, and the wind howled through the almost deserted streets like a veritable simoon. Tbe blast was indeed pitiless, and as night set in tbe lean and cadaverous tramp could have been seen wend ing his melancholy way to the station house, prefering tbe indifferent accommodations of immurement to the piercing coldness of tbe elements. There will be a meeting of railroad men at the rooms of the Y. M.C. A., to-morrow even ing, at 7 o'clock. The object is to organize a Christian association among this class of citi zens, and all railroad men, whether church members or not, are urged to be present at thin conference. Mr IS. D. Ingersoll, Y. M. C. A. secretary of thin branch of Christian work, will be present. Htation-keeper Jessrang provided accommo dations for twenty-eight tramps last night, twenty-five of whom ide voluntary applica tion for shfltor. It was rented early in tbe evening that a large number of trumps were hibernating in a caboose on the railroad track near the Lake Superior depot, which reMiIted in a visit to that locality by the o'clock tc lief, Mho .nl hucceeded in making three arrests, two of whom had just arrived in town, and are not regarded as tramps. Thomas Mara and Augustus Beck are two Sa-bbath-breakinfj sprajjs whoue early training has not been productive of that degree of piety which home e? araple should have naturally in culcated. They indulged in a gan\e_of pool at a Third n'reet saloon yesterday afternoon, the outcome of which was unfriendly words and a bit of an altercation. Chief Weber happened to pass the locality and nipped the bloodless battle by condncting the belligerents to the station, where they languished last night quite dejected and repentant. All unknown to the home-folks Chief Strong, St. Paul, and Chief Brackett, of Minneapolis, have been having a good time. The Ht. Cloud Journal-Press of the 20th inst. says: Chief Strong and Chief Brackett, of the St. Paai nd Minneapolis Fire departments, came up Tues day to see some real metropolitan life, and were taken in charge by Chief Bosenberger and Foreman Legle, who showed them Dretty much all there was of it. The boys had the flags dis played from the fire engine and hook and ladder house*, and pnt their beat foot forward in honor of their guests, giving them a reception in the evening at the Little Giant Engine house, at which speeches were made by various persons. The visiting chiefs returned home yesterday, well satisfied that St. Cloud isn't a bad sort of place to come to. TELEPHONIC TRIUMPH. The St. Paul and Minneapolis Ends of the "Globe" Brought Into Speaking Connec- tionThe Minneapolis Items Transmitted by Word of Mouth. The Minneapolis column of news in to day's GLOBE was conveyed to this office last night by the telephone. Direct communica tion was attained between this offico and the GLOBE headquarters in Minneapolis, and the fleeting item there was corraled and dis patched by the electrical route. As fast as the GLOBE reporter in Minneapolis talked, the GLOBE'S short-hand man here took down the news, transcribed it, and to-day it appears in print, verbatim as spoken. This is a wonderful exhibition of the perfection of the telephone system, which would seem in the near future likely to supercede the tele graph. When it will be remembered that the distance is over eleven miles, and that every word was distinctly heard and the voice of the speaker recognized, the marvel is magnified to the dimensions of a miracle, almost. This is the first thorough teat of the invention since the wires have been stretched in this city and to Minneapolis, and the re sults, as indicated, are clearly of the most astonishing and successful character. More than likely, Col. Hewitt will read this, the announcement as well as the fact of the close communication between the two cities, an omen of tho near union of St. Paul and Minneapolis. The test was continued for sometime, and suffered no interruption dis tinct answers to questions were given and noted. The time employed in the use of the machine can better be reckoned or approximated by a reference TO thfc amount of Minneapolis matter in print, thus communicated. The call for "the con nection" came from the exchange office of the telephone company. The telephone ear and speaking trumpet combined was ad justed, and the talk commenced, fo be ac curate, at first the words came somewhat in distinctly and the exchange was notified. Then a talk ensued between the St I?a.nl exchange and tbe GLOBE office in Minneapo lis this conversation conld be distinctly heard in this office. Word was spoken to the exchange to let the talk between the GLOBE offices here and in Minneapolis be resumed. This was done and the words full, rounded, clear and distinct came in fast enough, and were repeated to the snort-band man fast enough to spread out his goose traok signs and symbols with nimble rapidi ty. In view of this experiment, there's no calculating what the telephone may not ac* compusb. Batter.

District school No. 16 will give a publio en tertainment, consisting of retorical exercises, at the Oak Park school-house, this evening. We are informed that there ia some talk of establishing a daily paper in this city, but as to whether it will amount to more than talk it is impossible to say. A number of gentlemen are endeavoring to getnp an excursion to go to St. Paul, Thursday, Friday or Saturday, for the pur pose of attending the Hess opera. James Faust had an ankle thrown out of joint, and one bone inTiis leg, between the knee and ankle, broke, Saturday afternoon,in a souffle. Faust was in Chnrlie Boo's saloon, and slightly under the influence of liquor. Upon the entrance of a man by the name of Charles Holm Faust stepped up and slapped him on the cheek this act resulted in a few hot words which ended in a drink. Faust, however, again became offensive, and the two men clinching, a wrestle ensued, in which Faust was severely thrown, and sev eral men who were present jumped on to him. It is not known whether his leg was broken in the wrestle, or when the other men jumped on to him. The injured limb was Bet by Dr. Willard, and Faust will prob ably be laid up four or five weeks.
