SCOTTISH AMERICAN ATHLETES
The Club is GIL Rapidly and
Will Have a Lively Season.

h Scottish-American Athletic Club
has been building rapidly since it had
it's club rooms renovated. Five PROPOSE
lions were received at the last meeting,
and over a dozen will be in at the meet
ing to be held on Friday of neXt week.
In addition, many of the old members
who were in arrears have returned and
settled their indebtedness. The interest
has never been greater, and the ~organiza-
ton is in a prosperous condition. The
management has been vested in a Board
of Trustees, who will meet on Friday
night. A pool table has been purchased,
and will be put in next Monday. A handi-
cap pool ournament will be started at
once. The club will have it's next boxing
stag or October %. Their first was such
a pronounced success and the crowd was
SO large that they have engaged Woods
Hall for the next event. There will be
at least three special bouts, and Thayer,
Bloom and Craig have announced their
willingness to meet good men in their
respective classes. The Stag Committee
will meet this evening to advance ar
engagements for the entertainment. It is
proposed to increase the number of com
mittees and lessen the labors of the
trustees while increasing the interest.
The Scots will have a merry season. A
series of receptions will be held at the
club rooms, and a ball, possibly two, at
Woods Hall. A cross-country team will
be formed, and probably a football team
will be chosen.

A BOYS SAD STORY.
Pathetic Scene i'm Judge Douglass
Court.


Court.
A sad and pitiable story was told in
the Second Criminal Court yesterday
morning by a young man who said he
was nineteen years old, although he did
not look to be more than fourteen or
fifteen. He was brought. to the Third
precinct station house at 1890 A. M.
yesterday by Patrolman Murray, who
said that he had come to him at the
Five Corners and asked him for lodgings
for the night. In his arms the boy
carried a big white cat which he said he
would not part with for anything.
When discharged this morning his eyes
filed with tears and he asked Sergeant
Kelly if he could give him something to
eat. Touched by the boys pitiable con-
dition, the kind hearted Sergeant gave
the boy some none tso ana irdJ tod MN TO
He did so and still clutching the cat
in his arms and told the judge this
story Mor5 T

on Meade Lane until last April, but
then 1 left home and wandered away
folks. My father was an invalid and
not able to work steady: l have travel

Jersey and Pennsylvania, but outside of
a few odd jobs now and then, 1 have
been unable to secure any employment.
Getting homesick I returned to Jersey
City, walking and jumping freights'
from Pittsburg only strand then he
broke down completely and sobbed pitt
fully.
When he had in a measure recovered,
he continued

bill on it for rent. My folks, l learned
afterwards, had been put out for not
being able to pay the rent and no one
knew where they went to. l e back
to the house and this cat, that has been
in the family for four years, was the
only living thing to welcome me. She
purred up to me and seemed to recog-
nize me right away, Bless her," n
here the boy affectionately caressed the
animal while the tears trickled down
his cheeks onto the cats fur-'Id hate

Judge Douglass eyes were moist, n
in sympathetic tones he told the youth
that he would see if he couldn't do some
