ONLY AN AGED PAUPER
Cities Play Shuttlscoek with a Man
Seyenty-seven Yenrs Old

Franz Klein, a feeble German, seventy
seven years Of age. was found wandering
around Hoboken yesterday in an aimless
manner He was taken to the station
house where he said that he had been
an inmate of the poorhouse in Buffalo
N. Y, for many years. He declared than
for some unknown reason the poor au-
therfties in Buffalo had taken him from
the Institution and shipped him to Hobo
ken. He had fifty cents, a cane. an old
needle
The old man was very particular this
morning about having these ARTICLES re-
turned TO him before he would leave the
station house, particularly the thimble
and the needle. His clothes, which were
DID, taittered and patched beyond de-
scriptson, bore evidences of the aged Ger
mans skill with these implements
Klein Was put on a car, provided with
nickel and sent over to Jersey City af-
ter securing possession of his precious
stock-in-t trade 1t was said at Headouar-
ters that the pauper would be shipped
on some railroad back to Buffalo.

WHEN TO Rat ICES.
A Bit of Advice TO summer Girls and
Summer BoYs


1t would not be easy to calculate how
many gallons of ice cream are sold in
America during July and August, and
as for the quantity of soda water that
ts consumed ordinary figures would
scarcely express 1t. We are pre-elni-
nently people given to the consuming
of delicacies that Immediately lower the
temperature of the stomach, and as the
summer girl and the summer boy are
equally addicted to soft drinks it is
then as to the inevitable mischief they
may do when used indiScriminately.
Taken between meals or just before bed
time ice cream is, perhaps, one Of the
best things for the system that can be
eaten in summer time, but taken with
a full meal il is a trial TO the healthiest
organism and menace to the strongest
stomach.
TO digest food easily and comfortably
the temperature of the stomach should
rise to about 100 degrees and be kept
there for at least two hours Is it hard
to imagine the effect when at the close
OF a hearty meal a sudden dash of ice
gested food and the stomach is inmedi-
ately chilled and its temperature dropped
some thirty or forty. degrees?
The strongest vitality will regain the
needed warmth onlv after some hours al
delay, and in the meantime digestion is
checked. discomfort follows, and a head
acne Is the penalty that IS generally paid
for using the alluring ice.
Foreigners rarely drink iced water and
they laugh in their sleeves at our cooling
drinks and well they may, for to an
American the digestive power of a Ger
man or an Englishman is thing to
think about with awe and admiration.
We are a dyspepsia people and Amer
lean women are especially terlnented
with the ills that arise from weak ds-
geston. Is it not worth the experiment
at least, to try the effect of abstinence
from Ices and all cold drinks with meals
or Immediately following them? Sum
mer days are long, and summer even
ings give time enough for anything. If
then, the summer girl would be healthy
and wise tno matter Il she is wealthy
or notl. she viii take her fill of ices
when there is nothing else to do: then
eat her three meals without fear of fu-
ture Philadelphia Record.

WE LOSE ALASKAN MINES.
New British boundary Line Takes
fin Much Gold


PORT TOWNSEND. Wash. Aug T.,
1895 The richest gold placer mines Of
Alaska have been transferred to Can
aSian territory, and miners are now pay
ing miners tax to British authorities. The
territory Ia question Is from three to
eight miles in width. and embraces the
rich placer claims on Glacier and Miller
Creek. which heretofore Were supposed to
be in Alaska territory.
These statements were made yesterday
BY Captain William Moore, Canadian mail
carrier between Victoria and Fort
Cudahy, NJ w. I. He has just returned
from taking the first mail to the Yukon
miners on British territory. Errors in
the old survey were discovered late last
autumn and during the winter Prof.
Ogilbee, who now has charge of a corps
OF British engineers engaged in locating
the boundary between the two countries,
made the correction transferring a strip
OF territory from three TO seven miles
wide from Alaska to Canada. Over 200
miners We're affected, and the Canadian
mounted police Immediately compelled
them to pay miners taxes
Moors says there can be no doubt as to
the correctness of the new survey Ali
of Miller and Glacier Creeks and parts
OF several other streams rich in gold dig
ging are now claimed by the British
It appears the miners concluded that
the United States Government did not
a government fort, inasmueh as Prof.
Ogilbee was permitted to locate such
boundary lines as he chose without the
assistance or presence of American off,
cials and no efforts were made to pre-
vent the police from enforcing their regu-
lations over that portion Of Alaska terri

son. He told Moore he would remain at
Fort Cudahy until the arrival of American
surveyors and check his work if they
desire. -
