scA ING, Pa, Nov. 25.-Two years
% John Beck, aged about so, came to
Reading from Lebanon county, and
rented an upper room in the st. Cloud
Hotel. Here he lived by himself in a
very miserly way, and was frequently
not seen for q week, when he would be
going about the city picking up few
pennies by filing saws. He was looked
upon as wretchedly poor, and people
frequently gave him a few cents to help
him along. The other night he was
seen crawling down stairs on hands
and feet. Five days ago he was strick-
On with paralysis, and helpless and
speechless, with nothing to eat. he lay
in the loom all this time. He was
greatly smaciated. He was taken to
st. Joseph's Hospital, but he cannot re-
cover. Two large store boxes and a
pair Of old blankets were the only ar
ticleS found in his room. In his pock-
cts was found $27. and two other wal
lets on his person contained nearly
$500. Papers found Oh him show that
he has 81 700 at interest. He frequent
ly ate nothing for a day, unless food
was given to him.

FLEETWOOD, Pa, Nov. 25.-An ex.
citing and what will prove fatal fight
took place yesterday in North Withall,
Lshigh county, between Abraham ia.
cobs, q rich farmer and an infuriated
boar. Jacob was trying to drive the
animal when it turned upon him. Jacob
defended himself with q club but the
boar knocked him dow2 bit him severe
ly about the legs and arms and then
gored him in the abdomen, inflicting a
wound nine inches hong. with its tusks.
A bulldog came to the rescue and a
furious fight .ensued between the boar
and the dog over the senseless form of
the farmer. Neighbors attracted by
the noise, arrived and shot the boar.
Jacobs was carried to his home in a dy-
ing condition.

Two Boys at One Shot.

ALTOONA, Pa, Nov. 25.-About one
O'Clock yesterday afternoon young son
of City Solicitor Dively, while playing
with pistol, shot companion named
Clarence Rickabaugh through the left
arm, inficting an ugly wound. Young
Diyely, as soon as he discovered what
he had done, dropped his pistol and ran
away from the injured boy. Later in
the afternoon Diyely returned to his
home, and 1t was discovered that he
had also been shot through his left
hand. He held the muzzle of the revol-
yer in the palm Of his hand, and the
weapon was accidentally discharged,
the contents passing through his hand
and also through young Rickabaugh's
arm, and lodged in fence near by.
Their ages are nine years.

a Silent Bell.

Something very, very sad happened
near the corner of Monroe avenue and
Randolph street yesterday. A very
meaty man had met three friends at
that point and stopped to tell couple
Of stories. A young man. who was a
stranger to all, was leaning against the
fOntOf store, bearing the general ap
pearance of one who knew all that was
worth knowing before he cut his baby
teeth, and was now hanging unto life
because death refused to come. Pretty
soon the meaty man got off some pun,
and the hand OF the weary young man
was lifted up and the tones of his chest
nut hell rang out on the morning air.
Was that you p asked the story tell
or as he wheeled around.
sYaas.'
Did l get off something old p
Weary DID,
Beg your pardon, sir. I will now get
off something entirely new for your
benefit
He seized the weary traveller, whirled
him around, and stout calf-skin boot
was planted against him four times in
succession.
If there's anything old about that
just ring two bells on me- said the
kicker as he ceased his labors.
1t must have been new thing. The
young man had tears in his eyes as he
steered himself around the nearest cor
ner, and the sharpest ears caught no
melody from his little bell.-Detroit

ChArleston's Need

To-day we publish the address of Mr..
Job Il. Jackson, delivered at the Opera
House on Sunday afternoon. None
can dispute the truthfulness of the hsr-
rowing description given by Mr.. jack
son. The extracts read by Mr.. Jack
son from the local papers Of Charlesso ton
Is proof that the picture OF destruction
and suffering was not imaginary, nor
Is 1t overdrawn. We hope that this
address may stir up the people of little
Delaware to noble deeds Of action. The
State is small, but her people have
large hearts; let them then take In the
sufferers OF our sister city. Charleston is
virtually destroyed. Many buildings left
standing are 80 shattered that they are
unsafe for habitation, but this Is not
the worst feature Of the calamity. The
Sc wers have been destroyed and they
are fast filing up and flowing over the
city, creating causes for disease and
death. Money is wanted Immediately
to rebuild these sewers. The inhabi-
tants sre not suffering for food-that Is
Issued IL abundance to those who need
it--bus they are suffering for homes de-
stroyed and from exposure to all kinds
of weat tier. 1t will take six million
dollars to make Charleston what 1t was
before he earthqu Jake, and only about
1927, 900 have thus far been raised To
mt 81 this vast amount. Everybody can
give. . little, and a little from each will
lift Oh arleston to the high emineuce
she before enjoyed in commerce, In
manufactures, in trade, In morals and
In all the characters which elevates
society. We regre. that our want o
space prevents us from publishing 6
number OF the interesting extracts
which Mr.. jackson read at the Operi
House meeting.

cases arising under the arrests made
by Mayor Rhoads and his police
would never come bsfore the court will
now have to revise their opinions and
prophecies. 1t seems to have required
the grand jury but few minutes to
q nd true bills against the policy men,
and when the cases were fair and square
before the court yesterday afternoon
some of the policy men were not on
hand to answer the charges. II the

The Philadelphia Record 10 authority
for saying that the chi pments Of foreign
iron ore to Philadelphia during the last
two months have been greater than
ever known before In the history OF the
country. In order that there may be
no Misunderstanding about the matter
and to show that the Record knows
what 1t 10 talking about, the names OF
the steamships carrying to Philadelphia
are given and thonumber Of tons each
OF them brought, which in the sggre'
gate foots up AZ, 1876 tons. The question
naturally should arise In the mind OF
every man, why IL this ore brought
here, while our own hills, mountain
and valleys rest upon beds Of iron ore?
When We think Of this, We must con-
cluds that there 10 something wrong
somewhere Much Of this imported
ore comes from the Mediterranean 10
lands and coasts over three thousand
miles away, and yet It 10 landed hers
and enters iato composition With oul
native ores.
We are compelled TO come 10 tn
conclusion that the difference In price
Of. labor In the two countries Ii tn
cause Of 1t. Labor in these foreigr
countries from which these ores m
shipped 10 not more than half that PAID
to labor In this country, and % labor
90 per cent. of the cost Of production
the difference IL 40 per cent. lower 10
foreign ores. Yet in the face Of all thi
wor kingmen-yes, even ore miners
constantly vote from year to year for
party that favor the introduction OF TIL
foreign ore produced by cheap Labor
The freights from the MediterrAnes
vary from eight 70 twelve shilltngs pc
ton, and each ton pays . duty OF Z
cents to the Government; still, throug
cheap labor, these ores compete wit
our American ore in cheapness. Ever
reduction in the duty on foreign ore
lets In more ore, and to that extent lei
sens the production OF our native ore
Should the duty on foreign ores be 81
tirely removed, rs WAS contemplate
by the Morrison tariff bill, ore mine
In this country would be compelled
, come down to the prices paid for lab
/ In these foreign ore mines, or the bias
ness would have to be abandoned, ar
/ this great country, With Its rich ~
? undeveloped ore mines, would be Ell
