Alexander was generally allowed to follow
his own inclinatons and tastes. He dis
liked show, and usually wore civilian
dress. His favorite pastimes were mus
cular exercises and hunting. He was a
born sportsman. With his coat off and his
shirt sleeves rolled up, his tall. large, well
developed figure was the picture OF
strength. He displayed great energy and
agility, and his features were animated,
If not absolutely handsome. His brothers
were also good athletes, and nothing
pleased him better than to excel them in
athletic exercise Marvellous stories are
told of his great personal strength in those
young days He could bend a bar of iron
across his knee or burst in a strong door
with his shoulder. Long after he became
car he used to find an outlet for his great
muscular energy by shoveling snow, wres-

PIckpocketS.

Professional pickpockets make business of
attending where "men do most congregate, y
and there are more or less of them attending
the circuses, and Forepaugh's show is not an
exception, as was shown here on last Satur-
day. Whilst standing in the crowd on the
streets witnessing the street parade, Mr.. D. A.
Brown, of this county, had his pocket book
stolen which contained SIS in money and some
valuable papers. This pickpocket was not de-
tected. Whilst Mr.. J. NJ. Kent of Harrison
bnrg, was entering a'street car on North Au-
gusta street his pocket-book was taken from
his pants pocket by thief and thrown to his
pal. When he found that he had been detect
3D. he ran, when he was pursued by the fleet
footed David Fultz and others, and when he
found that he could not escape he stopped,
protested his innocence, and begged his captors
not to disgrace him by arrest for such crime.
He asked the amount of the money in the
stolen pocket-book, and when told it was
about $500 he agreed to pay it. but this game
did not work, and he was told that the most
valuable contents were some papers. He was
then taken to the Mayors office by J. t.
Hanger and John Sproul,of the county, whist
Sergeant Logan Turner went in pursuit of the
pal to whom the arrested thief, who gave his
name as John F. Anderson, and claimed to
be from Lexington, had thrown it. The pal
was not found, but the pocket-b book contain
ing 81 in money, and papers to the value of a
hundred dollars or more, was found by Mr..
John NJ. SPOTS in the gutter in front of his
residence on Gospel HILL where the pal had
left it without disturbing the contents.
The case of the arrested thief was postponed
till Tuesday morning as he wished to have
some witnesses in his behalf examined, and
he was sent to Jail to await the trial. On Tues
day morning the trial was postponed till next

The Root of the Evil.

The Philadelphia Telegraph tells US
that .Of the large number of strikers
arrested in the Connellsville coke re-
gions the other day, not one could
speak the English language" and
of course knew nothing about Ameri-
can laws or customs, and perhaps cared
less. They were with rare exceptions,
Poles and Slaves. ''In some of the
coal, coke and iron regions of this
State" continues our contemporary,
these nationalities poles and SIavs)
swarm, and it is to be regretted that
they have obtained q foothold, or
something stronger there, for the sole
reason they can live more cheaply
than can or will Americans, and that
they are therefore willing to accept
lower wages.
Now an important inquiry just here
is, who is most to blame for dumping
this enormous class of ignorant and
lawless foreigners upon our shores
every year and the introduction of
their cheap labor into our mining re-
gions? Of course it is all done by cards
of invitation and inducements sent out
by the mining and manufacturing mo-
nopolists of the North who, while al
ways protesting to be the great friends
and promoters of American labor when
advocating high protective tariff to rob
the tax-paying people of the country,
are always more than anxious to fill
their mines with cheap labor that they
gather from the lowest order of serfs
that can be imported from the worst
nations of Europe! There is no deny
ing these facts, nor is there any deny
ing another conceded fact, that nine
tenths of the present socialistic dis
order and violence and agrarianism
now pervading portions of the coun-
try, and especially the North aid
West, are the natural offshoot of this
corrupt and lawless element of foreign
immigration. induced to this country
by the grinding monopolists of the
North. And it is all done under the
hypocritical pretext of protecting
American industries and encouraging
home labor.-Ly1chbxrg NeaOs.
