born in this section yesterday. A man
with horse, wagon and number of
baskets of peas, journeyed about from
house to house shouting Fresh peas!"
Three baskets-small in Size-Were sold
for % cents. Hundreds of people bit
at the bait. The huckster had a
smooth tongue. He explained that he
represented the largest market house
i'll the city and the peas had just been
received from Florida, where they We're
farmed. He didn't intend, he eX-
claimed in a goodly way, that the big
hotels and the big bugs should receive
the benefit of this assignment of peas.
No, he was a humanitarian as well as
a vegetarian, and he wished the poor
people to receive the benefit at three
quarts for a.Quarter. When the good
housewives examined the peas they
We're soft and seemed luscious. When
they boiled these same peas they We're
just as soft and luscious as they We're
when in the basket. There was no
change for the better. The secret of
the fake is that the huckster boiled
the hard, ordinary peas until they We're
swollen and the least bit soft. He
could we'll afford to sell them at three
quarts for 25 cents, when seven quarts
can be purchased for the same money
at any of our groceries.

STONED THE EX-PRIEST.
Joseph Slattery and Wife Attacked
by Philadelphia Mob.

Philadelphia, Feb. when Joseph
Slattery, the eX-Driest, concluded his
lecture at Industrial Art hall this even
ing and appeared at the door to take his
carriage to his hotel a mob that filled
Broad street in front of the hall greet
ed him with groans of derison. There
was good force of police present and
way to the carriage was cleared.
Two policemen got in the carriage with
Slattery and his wife and drove off.
The crowd before the hall was held in
check by the police, but parties of men
and boys armed with stones and bricks
We're lying in wait in the alleys along
Broad street. AS the carriage passed
these points a volley of stones greeted
it. The windows We're smashed
Policeman Clements was cut over the
right eye. Policeman Doris finger
was cut slightly and Slattery had a
similar injury. Doris put his re-
volVer out of the broken window and
fired five shots on the ground. 1t is
said that two shots We're fired from the
crowd and that one of them hit Police
man Clements eye. All the occu-
pants arrived at their hotel without
serious injury, but the carriage was a
wreck. Sidttery had a similar exper-
fence last week.
