an apparent loss of consciousness en-.
tered the main Reading railroad depot
last evening, and when her pitiable con-
dition was observed by the depot officials
they made inquiry as to her destination.
She gave evasive answers to all questions
and seemed to be an epilepnc. The
Reading Hose ambulance was sent for
and the unfortunate woman wss removed
to the Reading Hospital. To the officials
OF that institution she stated that her
name was Mary E Gteth, and that she
had come here from Philadelphia for the

Mississippi may have earned O good
scolding, but it does not lie in the mouth
OF New York, or any Of the states through

their triumphal way, to administer 1t.
Aud the late assumption OF this "holier

deceives nobody. An accessory before
the act sits in Judgment on his con

be frank and honest enough to aoknowl-
edge that at least nine out of every

would have been disappointed, and pos.
sibly indignant, had the latter stopped
