with it the poisons of the soil OF Europe
should be stopped. Our enemies are
Strengthening themselves in their secret so
cieties from Chicago to Boston, and when
their finger tips touch they will form
great band of non-Americanists. Then it
will be too late to try to stir up American
patriotism in Pennsylvania or any other
part Of the Union"

Allegheny General Hospital OnHcials Left
In n Strange Predicnment.
Samuel Alfvalter, aged 1s, died yester-
day morning at the Allegheny General
Hospital. On July he walked in there,
and as he was too sick to move was given a
cot. He was suffering from typhoid fever,
and yesterday he died. Several times
during his illness his uncle called
on him, and gave the hospital au-
thorities to understand that the boys father
was working on a farm owned by man
named Hodgenshield near Temperanceville.
The uncle did not leave his name, and
now the hospital officials cannot find the
father or any of the relatives SO that they
could give them the remains. Another at
tempt will be made to find them to-day.

Child, but Wants Both.
Superintendent Dean, of the Anti
Cruelty Society. was yesterday given charge
of Maggie and James Phillips, aged and
years respectively, who have been aband-
oned by their father. A couple of years ago
Hugh Phillips and his wife separated, and
as Mrs. Phillips was in destitute circum-
stances, she placed her two children in the
Episcopal Home, on Fortieth street. About
year ago Phillips took little Maggie from
the Home and disappeared from the city.
On Tuesday he reappeared, still having the
little girl in charge. and left her at an Allie
gheny house where her mother is employed
as domestic.
After leaving there he is said to have
gone out to the Home on Fortieth street, and
made an attempt to secure possession of the
little boy, but failed. The boy was then
turned over to the mother, and she, in
turn, gave them into the care of Superin-
tendent Dean, who will place them in an
institution, and in the meantime keep a
lookout for Mr.. Phillips.

The Glass Men Who Caught On Early Vow

Mr.. D. o. Cunningham, the glass manu-
facturer, went East last evening on a busi-

this was poor season for the glass jar busi-

added, however, that he caught on early in
the game and made but very few of them %
that he comes out on the safe side.
The glass jar is almost too costly for the

holds complete sway in that trade. He
