About two weeks ago well dress ed

House as Harry E. Miller. He represented
himself as a resident of Erie, Pa, and a
government inspector of boilers, and pro-

On Tuesday last he left the hotel, leaving
an unpaid board bill of $1I79 Mr..
Hutchison, the proprietor, asked for

day. miller" said he was going to
the depot to meet his wife, who would
bring him money. He did not appear
again. When miller" became guest
of the hotel he had no baggage. He said
his tools were at the Indian Ridge colliery
Office. This statement was learned TO be
false after the young man disappeared.
A search of his room disclosed an over

work as a boiler inspector. Z hey con

HELPING THE
POOR OF TOWN
Charitable Steps Being Taken in
Many Quarters.
A CONCERT TO BE GIVEN
Prominent Citizens Form Committee
to Help the Project Along Good
Work of the Five Cent Club.

Active steps for the relief of the deserv-
ing poor are being takenIin many quarters
of the town. Among the latest is
movement to hold grand concert in Fer
gusons theatre on Thursday, March 14th.
1t has been started upon the suggestion
of Prof. +. Zeitz, and q committee of
prominent and responsible citizens have
been placed in charge. They are John j.
Bradigan, Thomas Baird, William NJ.
Brewer, P. j. Ferguson, j. S. Callen, NJ. D.,
Charles Radzewicz, Daniel Lauderman
G. NJ. Bordner, d. d. S., d. w. Straub,
M. D., A 7. Jones, Philip Biermann, P.
J. Gaughan, Charles E. Titman, W. n.
Stein, NJ. D., and H. A Swain. The
officers of the committee are p. J. Fergu-
son, president; j. Spencer Callen, vice
president;' G. M. Bordner, secretary
William M. Brewer, treasurer. Prof F.
Zeitz, Philip Bierman, John j Bradigan
and Charles Radziewicz have been APP
pointed a committee on music. The price
of admission to the concert will be placed
at the low price of 25 cents and reserved
seats will be sold at 10 cents extra. The
chart will be opened at Kirlin's drug
store.
The movement of the Five Cent Club,
instituted by the "Ys," has met with
most gratifying success and Miss Pris,
ella Smith, who has charge of the work,
finds trouble in keeping up with it. The
Five Cent Club solicits weekly contribu.
tions of cents a week for the relief of
the poor. 1t has been in active operation
about ten days. During that time twelve
dollars have been collected although but
four of the twelve collectors have thus
far reported. The result has exceeded the
most sanguine expectations of the pro-
jectors..
During the past ten days sixteen fami
lies have been reported in distress to Miss
Smith and she has made seventeen visits.
In some instances there have been mis-
takes in giving addresses and the visitor
has not been able to locate the reported
families and three or four cases have been
found in which aid was not deserving
Miss Smith says that while many of
the families We're in need of food, the
most of them suffer most from want of
clothing, Anyone wishing to make con-
tributions can send them to Miss Smith,
in care of Mrs. S. G. NJ Hollopeter, "a
South White street. Two families were
found in great distress. One consisted of
a woman aud eight children and another
of widow of two months and two
children.
The Five Cent Club exercises every pre-
caution before disposing of its funds to
applicants and none are relieved until
their cases are investigated. This rule is
made imperative by past experience. Not
| long ago a resident of East Oak street
gave a woman who applied for relief q
barrel of -four and quantity of clothing
for herself and husband. A few days
after the woman was seen drunk on the
streets. In distributing relief the clut
takes the greatest pains to avoid being
imposed upon by such people.
