Rev. Albert Rubelte was educated
at the Wurtemberg University in
Germany, and from there sent to
preach at Lebanon, Pa, eighteen
years ago. A disease of the throat
compelled him to resign his pastorate,
and he was unable to make living in
any other bushes. As he became
seedy, his ex-parishoners Stunned
him, and he was forced to solicit aims
or steal. The Recorder sentenced him
to twenty days in the Penitentiary,
and he disappeared in the police van,
crying like child. This was few
days since.
