Pitiful Case.

An old, blind negro comes here every
cJurt day, takes his stand on a promi-
nent corner and keeps up the most pitt
fLl noise by begging for aid. His lit
tie spe ech is set to doleful tune and
the rac',et has gotten to be nuisance
to those having business on that side
o: town. The old fellow makes it his
business to attend all the neighboring
courts. He should b. sent to the poor
house or some of the numerous other
institutions kept up for such cases.

Monkey John, neg:o boy we'll
known about town, was given a
couple OF years in the penitentiary by
a circuit court jury for stealing Tom
Hammond's horse. Monkey was sent
to the pen a few years ago for stealing,
but the warden would not take him on
account of his age. Attorney Joe
Haselden made his maiden speech in
defending the prisoner, and but for
his eloquence the jlry would doubt
less have hung Monk ~ and Joe too.

dier, clad in a ragged uniform, alight-
ell from the train, grand rush was
made for him. Had he been brother
of each present he could not have been
caressed more fOnlly. Hobson, with
his greatly advertised kisses, was not
not knowing o: the arrangement, was
greatly excited and, at first, could not
get it clear in his Uranium as TO what
was uo. After the great racket had
subsidized, Letcher Owsley got out his
! fog-horn voice and made a soul-stiT-
ring speech. Letcher is a good speak,
err at all times, hut he fairly olt-d:d
himself that night At oae time he
would have the hot tears trickling
down the cheeks OF those present and
next he would have them yelling. At
the conclusion of the speech Dunlap
was placed in ctrriage besid: his
mother and great procession, headed
by the band, marched to town. On
the square a general handwriting
took p!ac', and poor VIII was almost
pulled t. pieces by admiring friends.
1t will be remembered that Dunlap
was in the 9th Regular Cavalry, who,
with the 16-h Infantry, made the great
charge at San Juan. He was talen to
Montauk Point, L. l., and got thirty
days furlough to come home and see
his mother. He is about % years old
and is the only son of Mr.. John Dun
lap, de Ell, ard a grandson of Hon.
Geo. W. Dunlap, who was one of the
most prominent lawyers in Kentucky.
Young Dunlap was in Kansas at be-
ginning of the war an enlisted as
private to fight for the lIg OF his
country. He looks little the worse

into perfect health. We hope to give
some of his experiences in next issue

THOUGHT 1T WAS SPANISH
Flag Ia Front OF the Office Of the
Italian Agent Caused a Lot
OF Excitement.

A large flag displayed from a Win
dow of the office of the agent of
the Italian government on lower
Lackawanna avenue caused no little
excitement yesterday morning. Trouble
was aNerted by placing the stars and
stripes alongside the Italian colors.
The latter had been mistaken for the
Spanish emblem.
impending disturbance was noticed
by Patrolman Sloat, who was told in
no uncertain terms by party of cab
men and truckmen at their stand op-
posite the Delaware, Lackawanna and
western depot that the red, green and
white flag must come down. Sloat did
not know at the time that the flag in
dicated an agents office, something
held sacred by all governments, but he
did know that the crowd was angry.
The patrolman finally entered the
office from which the flag was dis
played and suggested that trouble
might be avoided by taking it down.
1t was then explained that the flag
indicated the location of the Italian
agents office.
Sloat confronted the crowd on the
street and informed them the flag was
Italian and not Spanish. The infor-
nation quieted but did not entirely
subdue them. They returned to their
stand across the street. but new ar
rivals In the vicinity also saw the large
strange flag and Patrolman Sloat was
again told that the foreign colors must
come down. The patrolman argued
with the crowd and when he realized
that they were determined to have the
colors taken from the window he sug-
gested that one of the party interview
the consul and ascertain the true
meaning of the emblem.
The advice was needed. A few min
utes later the consul, Sig. fortunate
Piscer came down into the street with
the spokesman, They entered a cab
and were driven away, the spokesman
said something like wait a few min
utes; it will be all right" The consul
returned in about fifteen minutes and
entered his office.
He was not long inside before the
| window opened and clerk was seen
to fasten the stars and stripes outside
the same window from which was dis
played the Italian tricOlor. The crowd
| cheered and no more trouble was eX-
perienCed.

Whist club last evening at his home in
Green Ridge.
Many managers of the Home for the
Friendless, the inspection committee
and others interested, visited the new
building yesterday and made tour OF
the beautiful rooms now for the first
time vacated by the workmen. 1t is
proposed today 20 send in the new fur
niture as far as possible, and probably
tomorrow the family will be removed
TO the new quarters. The draymen OF
the city who wish to lend their assist
ance may do so by taking the goods
from the old Home, where they are
now packed ready for transportation.
a number of friends who visited the

the purpose of planning for the fur
nishing of rooms promised as memor-
ials of dead loved ones. Much space
remains 90 be filed and many contri-
buttons are needed. Among the smaller
articles that would be very welcome
are gifts of linen. The managers have
volunteered TO provide tablecloths, but
as yet no sets Of napkins have been

DID NOT DISCUSS 1T.
Members Of the Board Of Control Had
Nothing TO Say About the Oplu.
lon of the Court.

Not a word was said at the board
of control meeting last night in rela-
tion to the judgment of custer rendered
against it yesterday morning by Judge
Archibald. The members were all on
hand early and at 7.45 had the meeting
under way. Twenty-Five minutes later
adjournment was made, all the routine
business having been transacted.
After the meeting, however, the
members stood about in groups COM
menting ir a iOcose vein on the decis-
ion.
Captain May, Of the finance COM
mittee, made a request that the COM
mittees make their estimates as soon
as possible, that the committe may get
its report in shape early.
Mr.. Casey, of the Supply committee,
said in relation to the water rents that
the committee did not like to approve
of them until the board had looked
into them.
Mr. Barker said the reason the bills
were so high, Mr.. Hand. of the Gas and
Water company had informed him, was
because of the flush closets used in a
number of buildings. The company is
willing to confer with a committee of
the board. Mr.. Barker said, with a
view of changing the system or doing
| something else that will tend to make
| the rate more moderate.
Mr.. Barker wanted to refer the mat
| ter to the building committee but when
Mr.. Casey objected, it was referred to
| a special committee at the suggestion
| of Captain May and Mr.. Jennings.
President Francois named Captain
| May, Mr.. Jennings, and Mr.. Langan to
compose the committee.
On motion of Mr.. Langan it was or
| dered that night schools close tomorrow
night, when the four months term ends
| The matter of paying day school prin-
| cipals for their work in enumerating
the pupils Of the night schools, was
referred to the teachers committee.
Mr. Gibbons resurrected the project
| to build No. 3 school by moving that
| the secretary be instructed to adver-
tise for bids for its construction.
Mr.. Davis raised the point that the
building committee had not acted or
the specifications. so it was decided tc
defer the matter until next meeting
| the building committee being instruct
ed to report on the specifications al
that time.
Mr. Shires acted as secretary in the
absence of Captain Fellows, who is
i'll.

3 BEFORE BREAKFAST. ,

There may be n limit to the diaboli-
cal tendencies and devices of some
small boys. but it is trine difficult
to define. Recently the attempt Of sew
eral youngsters to amuse themselves
he's caused much annoyance to occu-
pants of carriages who find it ne"es-
sary to pass under the Erie and Wyo-
ming Railroad bridge crossing Wash
ington avenue. Most horses take fright
when driven under bridge over which
train is crossing and drivers usJdlly
check them until danger is renewed
Recently much complaint has been
made about the malicious sport Of
boys who remain in quiet on the sheet
ircn placed below the railway tracks,
until carriage is directly beneath
when they set UP war dance on the
metal producing such a fiendish rack
ct that horses become frightened and
more than one runaway down the hill
has resulted. An officer stationed in
that vicinity might have a salutory
effect, as the boys seem to operate
in relays so that a continuous perfor-
nance may be given
Speaking of boys, number of little
fellows on the hill have suddenly come
to grief in their patriotic enthusiasm.
Their mothers having become alarmed
at the terrific colds these young men,
bers of their family had unaccount-
ably contracted and also having sus.
picions aroused by the exceptional
grubby condition of their "nighties, /"
began a series OF Investigations Much
to the horror of the board Of inquiry
II was discovered that the youngsters
had been stealing out OF their rooms in
the dead hours Of the night and oc-
cupying a couch consisting OF the soft
side of boards in the coal cellar in
order to insure their youthful con-
stitutions to the Tlgors of Cuban
climete and the haTdshps of service al
the front into which they proposed to
go az drummer boys. 1t is needless
TO remark that at present the attention
OF the young patriots has been d.
rected to hostilities nearer home.
