Bow Legged Mems Club.

A bow legged mems club was formed In
Wilmington, Del, recently. 1t starts out
with 30 members. The organization Is
the outgrowth Of an accidental meeting of
half dozen men whose legs are bowed
at the bakery Of Frederick Hoch, corner Of
Linden and Adams streets, one week ago
The coincidence impressed them 80
strongly that club was suggested by Mr.
Hoch. A temporary organization was at
once effected, and notices were sent TO all
bow logged men in town To join them.

LOOK OUT FOR HIM,
Young Man Who Has v!c-

TELLS A PlTIFUl STORY.
Collected Quite Sum From the Good
Folks Hereabouts.

Some OF the charitably inclined people
OF this city have been ylctimized during
the past week by young man who said
his name was Burt and who has q nice ap-
pearance and tale Of woe that generally
touched the hearts OF those he approached
for assistance.
He Is about 20 years OF age and is neatly
attired In dark clothes end looks genteel
and refined. He has been going about
securing money by using the name of the
pastor OF the Thomson M. T.. Church,
Rev. 8. M. Beal, and also the names of the
officers OF the church.
He claimed In all the places he called
to be mem Der OF the church and In some
places said he had been very iii OF fever
and his appearance seemed to assist him
In this story as he Is rather pale and thin.
In other places he said his wife was very
Ill and In still another place he said his
child was dead and that Rev. Mr.. Beal was
going to conduct the funeral services.

called and tho sums ranged from 81 to g..
The last place heard from Is at Ssyles-
Vile where he called yesterday afternoon
and got s5 from the Ladies' Social Circle
OF the Saylesville Church.
He used Mr.. Beal's name and told such
q sad, pitiful story thati the president of
the circle called on Mr.. Beal last evening
and said they were arranging for a lawn
party for the young mans benefit. She
was astonisbed when the reverend gentle
man told her that he did not know any.
one named Burt and that no such person
belonged to the church. One of lis first
victims was Mrs. George II. Fowler, who
lives opposite the Thomson M. +. Church.
He got money there. That was about a
week ago and he has been working ever
since, always using the same name, which
shows that he has nerve.

eral should keep this story In mind and II

listening to his mistortupes.
He must have collected quite sum and
may possibly continue operations, using
some other clergyman's name and the
name OF some other church, but It is very
doubtful for he probably reads the papers
and will silently fold up his tent and stea

Looking the field over, he concluded that
