FROZEN TO DEATH.

Early yesterday morning one Of the track-walk-
ers on the South Side Railroad found the body OF
an unknown man lying in an open lot, near Berlin
station, In Jamaica township. The deceased was
apparently q German, upwards of forty years Of
age. was tmnly Clad and evidently died from ex-
posure and cold, as his hands, feet and face were
frozen stir and black. 1t appears that the unfor-
tunate man was seen in the village Of Jamaica on
Sunday evening, when he entered saloon, his
hands being partially frozen at the time. The
proprietor kindly gave him some supper, and,
after giving proper attention to his hands, al
rected him to the Town Hall to get lodgings for the
night. 1t seems, however, that he did not 20 there
but attempted to ind the house OF friend, who
he said, lived on the outskirts OF the village, and
probably became bewildered and lost his way. Ac-
saloon, he for some time past had been an inmate
OF the pO0rhOuse at Freeport, which institution he
LEFT on Szeday morning, and walked to Jamaica.
Coroner Allen has the matter under investigation.

their position are bound to make respectable
appearance and yet whose means are wholly made
quate to meet their demands. For such class
there Is no such trouble in store. 1t takes but
very little time and consideration If any, to select
their Christmas gifts. There may, as IN my own
experience, have been long illness and loss OF
business but still the appearance must be kept up
to the eyes OF the world or else they are AZ once

suffer In silence lest their poverty should become
