The Forest Republican. [volume] (Tionesta, Pa.) 1869-1952, 1879-03-12

A sad discovery was made on an ocean
steamship which reached New York re
Gently, when an Italian boy, only twelve
years of age and terribly deforrned, was
found on board, evidently brought over
to be utilized as beggar. His story
was that his father had been killed in a
quarrel, and that shortly after his
mother came to this country, leaving
him in charge of an aunt. In Italy he
had been employed as a mendicant, and
believed that it was to be used for the
same purpose that he had been brought
to this country. A city paper says it
was believed that the severe onslaught on
the padrones some time since would
have prevented this infamous traffic,
but it appears to have cropped out
again lately to far from agreeable ex-
tent

There are l 800 mule teams constant
ly on the road between Leadville and
Carson City, both of Colorado. 1t is a
fair estimate to suppose that at least
one mule balks each day. Now imagine
the rest, remembering that there are
mule drivers on that road who speak
four languages and several dialects.

"Sir, said a young fellow, bursting
with pride at his own importance, de-
rived entirely from his fathers wealth,

sociations in the United States in that
year at 204, with membership of 155,
686 divided as follows: Masonic, 55,,
1893; Odd Fellows, 38, $50; other similar
societies, 81, CAS-. The total number of
deaths was 8, ,476; the death rate per
cent. 1903; average amount paid by de-
ceased members, $18 OF; average amount
of insurance paid, $710.34; and average
cost of insurance, So. SO per 81, 900. The
sum paid to benefciaries by Masonic
