SQUANDERED A FORTUNE.
Ten Years Ago George Veal Was
Worth 100000.

George Veal, who died Tuesday night
at the Lackawanna hospital, was only
81 years of age, but during that period
he experienced some radical ups and
Gowns. In ten years Veal dissipated
fortune of $4,000 and he was ad-
mitted to the hospital last Friday as an
Ordinary patient. Disease and shatter-
ed hea, III caused death
Veal led an eventful life. Born in
this city, he grew up a hard-working
young man. His father Charles Veal,
was an engineer on the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western railroad,
and the son naturally took to the rail-
road and rose from a brakeman to
conductor, to fireman, and finally TO q
trusted engineer. Ten years ago
Charles Veal his father, met with a
tragic death. He fell from a moving
box car in the Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western yard and was instantly
killed. He had been thrifty and care
full in his habits and when his estate
was settled UP it was found that the
banks in this city held nearly. 900
to his credit.
George Veal. the son, then 81 years
or age, was the only surviving child
anu u MIN lne money reverted. Inc
fortune turned his head. He gradually
sank into a life of reckless riot and
the money slipped rapidly away. With
their son, Charles, who is now II years
of age, Mr.. and Mrs. Veal lived at
Green Ridge in a handsome residence.
The reckless disregard for the value of
money that Veal showed was a con-
slant source Of wonder to his neigh
bors, who finally began to complain of
the disturbances caused by the COM
panions that visited Veal at his home.
AS his fortune disappeared, ,Vears cred
itors became pressing and the house
and lot at Green Ridge was sold. Then
the Veals moved to Stroudsburg and
George went to work on the railroad
again, and it was apparent that all of
the 100000 had disappeared.
Three weeks ago Veal was compelled
to go to bed from a disease which
troubled him for several years past.
The physicians who We're called ad-
vised that the man be sent to the
Lackawanna hospital. This was done
last Friday, but he could not recover.
His wife called to see him once while
he was at the hospital, and at her re-
quest the remains were removed yes
terday to the third floor of No. 321
Centre street. The funeral will take
place from that number at o'clock
this afternoon.

BEFORE BREAKFAST.

The cooking lectures continue to at
tract many ladies each morning at st.
Luke's parrish rooms.
1t seems probable that on Saturday
the Thirteenth regiment will fill the
aching void left by their absence in
Hazleton.
The probabilities are that, unless an
immediate and generous response is
made to the request for financial aid,
the Hostel of the Good Shepherd on
Capouse avenue. will have to close.
This institution was opened by Brother
Francis, who is connected with the city
mission work of st. Luke's parish, and
has received its only support from a
few benevolently inclined and public
spirited members of that parish. 1t is
not a parish institution, however, but
was opened for the purpose of provid-
ing place for convalescents from the
city hospitals to recuperate. Often,
owing TO congested condition, pa
tlents are obliged to give way to q
more urgent case and it is for this
class that the hostel opens it's doors.
Brother Francis, himself, gives time,
strength and nursing to the inmates,
only recently he was compelled to re-
fuse the admittance of two patients
from the Lackawanna hospital, who
did not require special attention, but
needed only time for a full restoration
OF their health. But the inexorable
law of necessity prevented their stav
owing to the already overcrowded state
OF the hospital. 1t remains with the
hAn TA1A
continuation of the hostel of the Good
Shepherd.
Many amusing incidents occur daily
In naturalization court. Yesterday a
candidate for citizenship was mixing
some very bad English indiscrimin-
ately among some very good German
and the court intimated that the man
was not able to speak English quite as
nuently as a citizen should. Somewhat
nettled the applicant replied that he
could read English all right and that
1t was unreasonable for the court to
expect 1t to "come all at once"
Another applicant was asked who the
president of the United State is. "Mr.
McQuay," was the prompt reply, with
the assurance of a man who knows he
Is correct.
who is the governor of Pennsylva-
nia?" asked Judge Archibald of one
candidate who was before him. "Wil-
liam Connell," was the answer.
Judge Edwards was questioning a.
man from the Third ward who was
vouched for by School Controller Henry
]. O'Malley. The man had been in this
country a number Of years, but never
went to the trouble of securing papers.
81 suppose you have frequently ex-

ercised the right of franchise?" queried
the Judge.
"Well, there's no use of lying about
It, answered the candidate. ITO tell
you the truth, / have voted a few
times"
Another applicant who has been in
the country for twenty-three years,
said he had never voted, but once in
awhile fused little influence"

BUREAU CHAIRMEN,

Up to the close of Yesterdays busi-
ness the following bureau chairmen
had been appointed to serve during
the next year: Dr. r. S. Marshall, of
Pittsburg, pathology and pathological

An afternoon carriage ride given the
visiting ladies over Elmhurst boule-
ward developed most delightful bit of
entertainment. The carriages left here
about 3.15 o'clock. After reaching
Elmhurst the party inspected the
homeopathic sanitarium, lately the
Hotel Elmhurst, recently opened by
DR.. w. H. II. Bull, of Atlantic City.
DR.. Bull, by the way, was this year a
member Of the state homeopathic So
ciety's bureau of obstetrics.
Before leaving Elmhurst the party on
invitation was received at the home of
Colonel ard Mrs. u. G.. Schoonmaker,
where a delightful hot lunch was
served. The refreshment was most ac-
ceptable, particularly on account of the
chilly, penetrating air encountered on
the mountain drive.
LAST NIGHTS RECEPTION.
Last nights reception at the Scran-
ton Bicycle club house proved a high
ly successful event. 1t was decidedly
informal and that fact perhaps contrib
uted largely to the unusual pleasure Of
the occasion. 1t was planned Jointly
by committee of physicians and a
larger committee of physicians wives
and the wives of some of the city's best
known new school constituency. On
the former committee were Drs. A. A.
Lindabury, G. j. Berlinghoff and j. w.
Coolidge.
The committee of ladies received.

NORTH STAR SHINES.
MinnesOta's Delegation in Congress
Has Won Distinction.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, July 9.-During the
session of congress now rapidly draw
ing to a close the Minnesota congress
men have had no opportunity to ac-
complish anything for their cOnstitu-
ents. In all Of the schedules affecting
Northwestern interests Mr.. Tawney
has taken great interest and his re-
quests have been complied with In
majority of instances.
Both of the Minnesota senators have
had opportunities for distinction and
both have attended to their legislative
duties with commendable zeal. The
junior senator, Mr.. Nelson, with char
acteristic pluck and energy, secured the
adoption of his bankruptcy bill by a
large majority of the senate; a bill
which could have passed the house of
representatives by this time, but for
the Well-knoWn policy of Speaker Reed
and the Republican managers, who
have declared that nothing but revenue
legislation will be attended to this ses-
sion. The work of Senator Nelson on
the bankruptcy bill brought him polit-
ical and personal popularity 1t very
seldom happens that any new senator
accomplishes so much in so brief a
period of service.
Senator Davis has long been one Of
the most popular members of the .en-
ate His we'll known scholarship and
great learning as a constitutional and
International lawyer early commended
the respect Of the most distinguished
members of both houses of congress.
With wise forethought Senator Davis,
early in his senatorial career. secured
positions on the committees on foreign
relations, on the judiciary. and on mil
itary affairs In course of time he be-
came ranking member Of the COM
mlttee on foreign relations, and when
Senator Sherman, Of Ohio, left the SEN
ate to become secretary Of state. Sen
ator Davis was made chairman of that
most desirable and potential committee
by unanimous consent of the senate.
The International lawyers on the Dem
ocratfc side of the chamber We'd with
the leading Republicans in their prais-
es of Senator Davis and his accom-
plishments. The senator is now en-
deavoring to secure the ratification Of
the Hawaiian annexation treaty.
For that purpose he had a special
meeting Of his committee on Friday
morning and laid before the committee
the treaty, with the international his
tory leading up to the idea in which
our close relations with Hawaii fructi.
ned into treaty of annexation.
