A one-armed aud otherwise Grip
Piled and haggard looking lndividu-
al was in Lancaster last week beg
ging. He went from house to house
and obtained numerous pieces OF
small change, from quarters down.
About as fast as as he got them he
went to a saloon and spent them for
drink Finally he became drunk
and Marshal Greene arrested him
for drunkenness. The marshal left
him on the street while he went up
to Mayor ClemenstOn to have bis
papers in proper shape. The mar
shall being out of sight be went off to
the saloon again. The marshal fol-
lowed him, found him in the act OF
taking the liquor into his mouth
and the saloon-keeper taking bis
quarter and giving he change. The
marshal grabbed ths glass Of liquor
and coufscated it. He took the
liquor and locked it up to see
whether it will retain its fragrant
odors until tested b! judicial nostrils
The beggar by this time became SC
tangle-legged that help was required
to get him in jai!.-Herald.

In Reading, Pennsylvania, there
Is a young woman named Sarah
Root, twenty-eight years old, who is
laboring under the delusion that she
must fast forty days and forty nights,
as Christ did in the wilderness. She
has not eaten anything of any ac-
count since July 4th, and the doctors
can do nothing with her. If food is
put into her mouth by force, she
will not swallow it. She grows
weaker every day and is only kept
alive by forcing liquid food into her
stomach through ber nostrils.

ALBANY, jan $40 P. NJ
Looking at the deserted corridors of the Delavan
House and Stanwix Hall no would fancy that the
Legislature is to meet Tuesday next. OF the 1913
members Of Assembly less than have thus for
arrived. The train from New York which arrived at
halfpast ten O'Clock tonight was anxiously
looked for it thought that nearly the whole of
the Gotham contingent would como by it. To the
surprise of every one it brought only two members,
]. l. Hayes and James W. Hustled. the BALD Eagle
of Rockland" The latter gentleman is one Of the
three candidates for Speaker his rivals being Thomas
G.. Alvord and George B. Sloan. AS matter of
course the contest for the Speakers desk
is the principal topic Of discussion among
the members now here. and the general
impression is that the battle will lie between Sloan
and Alvord. General Hustled being looked upon to-
night almost out of the race. What different
aspect the question may when the friends Of
Hustled shall put in an appearance it may be difficult
to say
There was a good deal of fun created tonight by
the failure of ''Old Salt to reach Albany. He
started from Utica expecting to arrive here at an
early hour to-day, but his train became snow
bound in the vicinity of Syracuse, and despite
all the efforts of the engineer to force road
obliged to put back to the starting point kilograms
were received here from time to time marking the
whereabouts of the train and the candidate for the
Speakership and many joke was banded at the
pense of the latter.
"Oh don't be alarmed" said an enthusiastic ad-
herent, "the old man will come sliding down the
canal afore daylight"
Mr. sloan's friends are in the majority among the
little band here, and they preparing,
under the leadership Of Mr.. Warner Mil
Ter, Congressman-elect from the Herkimer
and jefferson district. to vigorously put
forth thescaims of their candidate. Those who are
working for him c. r. Skinner, of jefferson;
AFRO Chase. of Otsego; George L. Terry, of Washing
ton; Hamilton Fish, Jr of Putnam; Obediah
Wheeler. of Duchess; Jonathan Ogden, Of Kings,
and Charles A. Chickering. of Lewis
Among those expected to attend tho new Capitol
reception Michael Ushoffer Thurlow Weed and
Samuel b. Ruggles, who were respectively members
of Assembly in 1918, 1925 and 1885, Mr. Ushoffer is
years Of age and Messrs Weed and Ruggles
are each eighty-one.
