FOUND DYING.
DR.. Frederick C. Hum Dies
Near McKccs Rocks
Tuesday.

|.
~ After His Discovery He Dies De-
spite Medical Skill Suspicious Cir
cnmstances Surround the Death--He
was Formerly Dentist Here With
DR.. A. NJ. Jackson.
The following is taken from the
Pittsburg Post in relation to former
dentist OF this place will be read with
interest by our readers:
DR.. Frederick G. Hum, of Beaver,
aged 80 years, was found 10 an open
field beloY McKees Rocks yesterday
afternoon on what is known as Island
avenue extension. Some indications
point to death by suicide, but neither
the coroner nor the physician who saw
DIR. Hum before he died is satisfied Of
this, and further investigation will
be made of the matter. Dr. Hum
arrived at the Seventh Avenue hotel
in this city last Thursday, and was
there until Saturday evening, when
ne left the hotel and did not return.
Yesterday morning about 1920 o'clock
two small boys found DR.. Hum lying
on the ground, apparently suffering
great pain. They called DR.. A. e.
Ewing, and he pronounced the man
suffering from alcoholic poisoning.
He gave him some medicine and re-
turned to the town for short time
He again went to see his patient
about ] l o'clock and found him much
improved. After making him COM
Portable he left.
About $3.50 o'clock James Gilmore
and James Irwin noticed Hum lying
there and went over to investigate.
They found the man dead, and were
just going to report the case when
DIR. Ewing came down again to see
his patient The coroner was noti-
fed and the body was removed to the
morgue. In the pockets of his cloth
was found the key to his room at the
hotel, a railroad ticket good between
Cleveland and Leetona, and piece of
paper, on which was scrawled the in
formation that he had grip at the
Seventh Avenue hotel and a list of
debts due him, which he stated he
was unable to collect. An autopsy
will PROBABLY be held to determine
the exact cause of his DEATH
DIR. Hum was here for six months
or more last year and was associated
with DR.. A. NJ. Jackson. He was
very well liked by every one who knew
him and they will learn of his death
with regret.
The circumstances surrounding his
departure would lead them to think
that he had died from too much alco-
hol administered by his own hand
He was steady until few weeks be-
fore lie left here when he got to drink
ing heavily and finally left without
saying farewell to any one.

DANCE ON THE PAVEMENT.
A Novel Jersey City Plan for Enter
tuininE the Poor.

New York, July 17-Chief of Police Muir
ply, of Jersey City. has hit upon novel
plan for entertaining the poor Of the city
and giving them some enjoyment through
out the hot summer months. What he pro-
poses is a series Of open air dances for the
public. These dances, he proposes. shall
be held in different sections OF the city.
If the plan is adopted the expense will
be very small while hundreds OF persons
will be benefited.
Chief Murphy's plan does not entail the
expense of hiring dance halls. Dancing
indoors in hot weather would be unbear
able. His intention is to provide for those
who cannot go to the out-of town resorts,
and who are forced to spend the sweIter-
ing days and nights in the city.
My plan" said Chief of Police Murphy
this morning. - is to utilize the asphalt
pavement for dancing purposes. What
propose is that a block of asphalt pave
ment shall be selected and swept perfectly
clean, so that ii is as smooth as a dance
floor. | would have traffic suspended on
that block until the dancing was over.
Ropes could be strung along the sides of
the street to keep back the spectators ana
the rough element that might interfere
with the dancers. Of course it would be
necessary TO appoint floor managers. /
thoroughly well-posted men who would be
willing to act in that capacity. / believe
that dances such as l propose would re-
suit in keeping the young folks away fram
worse places. Hundreds Of young girls
and hoys have learned to dance at the
church dancing schools and are Just as
wild to dance as the children of the veal
thier persons, but they have no chance
to do so. If you want to see how popular
my plan will prove just follcw the first
hand organ you see, and watch the chill
lren dance to the music. You will see
girls fourteen and fifteen years old dane
ing 10 popular airs. Their elder brothers
and sisters are just as anxious for an op-
portunity to dance. My suggestion would
be to substitute the public dances fer the
concerts in the park or so arrange them
that they can be held on the asphalt sur
rounding the parks. The. music can be
furnished by Holden's Band which is hired
to give the free concerts
Chief Murphy viii use every effort to
have his plan adopted. and he is willing to
contribute generously 10 the support of it.

lower part of the skirt it widens out con-
siderably, so that all the bottom of the
gown is weighted by its rich burden. On
the softly gathered waist or bOdice there
is similar gold embroidery. solid gold
narrow girdle. with gold buckle of Rus-

Another ball gown of Miss Grants is
made of white crepe de chine and broad
brussels lace insertions, made over white
peau de sole. The long trained skirt is
striped horizontally with bands Of the
crepe and lace, and meets a simple little
waist bodice made entirely of fine tucks

petals of silk, velvet and chiffon deceived

Joke About Dewey.

New York, April 1s.-Fireman
Klein, of the flagship Olympia,
who returned home from Manila
on the cruiser Raleigh, and is now
at the house of his sister. Mrs.
Wetz, in Brooklyn, tells this story
of Admiral Dewey:
The commodore (now admiraD.
attended a minstrel performance
given on board the Olympia by a
troupe composed of enlisted men
of the flagship on the day after the
battle of Manila bay. One Of the
end men said:
Dewey is to be tried by court
martial for opening a shell game
at Manila on a Sunday" looking
straight at Admiral Dewey.
The commodore laughed heartily
at the joke and was so pleased that
he gave each of the amateur min
strels twenty-four hours relief from
duty.
