AN UNGRATEFUL TRAMP.

Alderman Storr yesterday morning
gave hearing to David Wilson, man
about 60 years of age, who gave his
place of residence as Wilkes Barre. He
was allowed three hours to leave the
city. He was arrested by Patrolman
Schmidt Saturday afternoon, the fellow
having asked for something to cat at
the patrolman's residence, was invited
by Mrs. Schmidt to come in and she
would prepare a meal for him, while
sitting at the table Wilson asked for
tea instead of a cup of coffee which
had been set before him. When told
that no tea had been boiled he became
impudent and demanded that his IA
vorite drink at meals forthwith be
STEPPED. Schmidt, who was in adjoin-
ing room became indignant and went
into the kitchen and hustled the un-
grateful tramp to the station house.

Resolved, Sister Smith, in obedience to
the Masters summons, has left her low
ing work among us for others to con-
tinue We bow submissively to the Mas
ter's will. knowing "He doeth all things
we'll" and that our loss Is our sisters
gain. The school, class and the church
mourn her departure, and her faith and
fidelity is a shining example for us to
follow.
Resolved, That we tender to our broth
er. w. E. Smith, our heartfelt sympathy
and prayerfully commend him to Him
who ''healeth the broken in heart and
bindeth up their wounds"
Resolved, That a copy Of these resolu-
tions be sent our brother, w. f. Smith,
and that they be spread on the minutes.
The following reference to Mrs. Smith
Is contained in the current issue of the
church bulletin: While yet few be-
lated stars fingered as watchers of the
night-while yet the shadows were
breaking-while yet the wings of the
morning were rustling as they came
across the eastern -rim-our be-
loved friend Mrs. S. Helen Smith, wife
Of our brother Mr.. w. E. Smith, swept
on wings of faith and hope into the
land where they have no tears and no
pain. Mrs. Smith was one Of those
sanity souls who made life holier by
her touch. Her Sunday school class,
the church, and great host Of friends
will join in sympathy and prayers for
our brother in his loneliness and sor-
row."

There are twelve cases Of measles
among the inmates Of st, Patrick's
orphan asylum on this side. There
are two forms of measles, one mild
and the malignant forms, and for
tunately not any of the above cases
have thus far proved of the latter
class. The early part of last week
several of the children were taken i'll
with what developed into measles and
on Friday several more became ill with
the same disease. Extreme measures
were Immediately adopted by those in
charge and all cases were isolated.
DR.. j. J. Carroll is in attendance and
does not consider the situation at all
dangerous. There are about $50 in
mates and every care is being exer-
cised to prevent a spread of the dis
ease and possible though not prob
able development of it in a more SER
ious form.

manner. A lamp left burning on the
table in the dining room was over
turned by the fall of Il large quantity
of plaster from the ceiling The oil
was scattered on the table and floor
and ignited.

by the noise and found the place in
flames. She hurredly aroused the
other inmates of the house and an
alarm was sent in. The furniture in
