TWO PROFESSIONAL BEccARs.
They Do an Act That Appeals to the
Heart and Wins Money.

Heart and Wins Money.
"Come in, old fellow; you need something
to warm you up. You are weak, and the
night air is bad for man in your condi-
ton"
The speaker.was q young man who looked
like a mechanic, and he was addressing a
stout man who appeared to be about 90 years
old They stood in front Of well known
down town bar room, the elder leaning
against lamp post. His chin dropped upon
his breast and he seemed utterly down
hearted He looked like q laborer When q
party of gentlemen entered the store the pair
followed them, the young man the while as
surfing his companion that he would do every
thing in his power to aid him.
II guess some ale will do you more good
than anything else" he said. The other did
not reply, but drew his hand across his fore
head and-heaved Sigh. After drinking the
ale he grasped the young mans hand and
said: "My dear man, how can ever repay
your kindnessa I'm out of work and haven't
got cent. This is the first thing have put
in my stomach today. I haven't got home
Oh any friends in the city. God bless you
young man; God bless you!"
''Oh, that's all right" answered the
SOUISCi VI lily WV, L az eAO ooiuc AOI duy
one You had better have some more ale
I'll get you a supper, two. l only wish I
could buy you new suit Of clothes I'll take
you home with me tonight, and maybe can
get you job tomorrow"
They had been talking in loud tone and
apparently paying no attention to their sur
roundings. Having paid for the drinks, the
young fellow with the big heart turned from
the bar and approached prosperous looking
man who was reading paper. He began to
tell of the n,isfortunes of his companion and
said he wanted to start collection for his
benefit right there. He had not talked long,
when the bartender took a hand and ran him
out of the place in double quick time. The
old man did not wait for any assistance, but
left hurriedly.
81 know that pair WE'LL" said the barten-
der. They are professional beggars and are
making plenty Of money out of that snap.
But they can't work it in this place" Tho
two men didn't seem to be at all crestfallen
on account Of their failure, and went di-
rectly to another bar room to try it again.

The exercises at the meeting Of the Col
lege Hill S. and B. club last week were of
unusual interest, each production being
wort by of special notice if space would al
low. Mrs. Ewing, Miss Pond and the
Misses Caldwell gave choice selections in
vocal and Instrumental music. Mrs. Coen
read extracts from the Dodge club in Italy
and Mrs. J. c. jones gave fine rendition
of 1.-The Chicago Fire" by VIII Carleton;
Capt. j. c. Rutan read copious extracts
from the first number of the Quarterly
Eumbug. new journal which is supposed
to embrace a little of everything but ad
refreshments and common sense. 1t bids
fair for a successful career Of at least
three months The hit of the evening was
Mr.. Hyde's inimitable conception of the
Cork Leg" 1t is sufficient to say
that if Mr.. II. had no other
means of support he might 'star" the
country with the little song of many
stanzas, to his everlasting profit. Taken
as whole the program was replete with
wit, wisdom and valuable instruction.
There were twenty new members admit
ted TO the club. Hardy Solomon was in
structed to deliver the body Of his New
York correspondent, dead or alive, who
had the teeritym to. tranSpose the alpha

wires wefe strung. The men in each case
started from the central stations of the
electric light company and worked out
ward, cutting off communication in most
instances with all the outlying points. The
legal representatives of the companies asked
the commissioner to grant them time either
to remove or repair the wires alleged to be
defective in insulation, but this request was
peremptorilv refused Then they warned
him that both he and the city would be
held responsible for any d4mage caused by

yer Blows His Brains Out.

WASHINGTON, Dec. A.-Franklin B.

in Wormley's hotel, some time between last
night and noon to-day. He was a we'll
known lawyer of Philadelphia, was for sew.
eral years president of the Philadelphia
and Reading railroad, and prominent in
several hard battles for the control of
that road. 1t cannot be determined
just when the suicide occurred. he
was at lunch at 2 O'Clock yesterday after
noon in good spirits, went from the table to
his room, and was not again seen until an
investigation was made, about noon to-day
to discover why the chambermaids could
not enter nor elicit an answer from his
room. Mr.. Gowan came to Washington
Dec. 8, and registered at Wormley's, and
has been there ever since. He was engaged
as counsel in some very important cases,
which have been on hearing before the In
terstate commerce commission for several
days past
