 When they they turned toward the cathedral the policemen drew their batons and charged on the crowd hit ting right and left and quickly dispers- ing the mob, which reformed and pro- eeeded to Trafalgar square.
 At Trafalgar square the unemployed processionists listened to excited al. dresses from three of their leaders.

A strong force of po- lice is still guarding St. PauPs cathe- dral and will remain on duty until the mob disperses.

Imprisoned In a Folding Bed.

CLEVELAND, Feb 5.-Constables Schaufels and Drew went to the home of Dr. C. E. Louth to serve a writ of attachment on Edward Bradley, in order to be able to attach his clothing and watch while he was in bed and not wearing them. Schaufels woke the young man, served the writ upon him, gathered up the clothing and gave them to Drew. who sat on the sidea of the folding bed to wrap them up. Bradley suddenly jumped up with yell, threw Drew over on the bed and gave the bed a sudden jerk. It was folding affair, and up it flew, with his feet protruding from the top. Instead of answering Drew's calls for assistance, Schaufels chased Bradley all over the house and caught him down in the cellar. When Drew was finally extricated he was al- most suffocated, but ultimately re- vived. Dr. Louth settled the bill to avoid the notoriety attaching to the house because of the episode, but the news leaked out just the same.

 Mr. Childs residence is of course in keeping with so splendid an office The library is particularly rich in rare books, original letters and manuscripts His country home, "Wooton. is all that could be desired.
 In 1858 there was movement made to bring MT. Childs' name forward for the presidency, but he peremptorily de- clined to permit his friends to do so. Other less important offices have been often suggested for him. but lie always seemed to prefer to manage The Public Ledger.
 One of Mr. Childs' hobbies was the cultivation of distinguished people, but while he aspired to be intimate with those in power he took equal pride in the friendship of those whose fame brought with it no substantial infu- ence.
 MT. Childs was one of the foremost citizens of Philadelphia and was hon. ored and respected by all people, no matter of what nationality.
