Elderly Man Secured Meals and

Two ladies', we'll known in this city, were
very recently grossly imposed upon by an
old man, who, after stopping at their
bcarCing-houses left for parts unknown,
leaving a bill behind him for several days
board.
A lady of East Franklin Street, whose
name is suppressed at her request, mas
two rooms in which she sometimes takes
boarders. She has a friend who conducts
a fashionable clearinghouse in that sec
ton who, when she cannot accommodate
persons. sends them to her friend on East
Franklin Street.
On Thursday week the lady of the board.
ing-house sent to her friend on Frank
lin street boarder whom she said was al
right The man gave his name as Mil
ler and after inspecting the rooms said
that he would take them fcr an lncefl-
mite period. He was apparently about AZ
years old, with reddish-sray hair and
side whiskers. One peculiar thing about
him was that his left eye was almost
entirely closed by the lid, which he WIS
unable to lift He wore a black pair OF
trousers, gray coat and vest, and IN
walking he seemed to have some trouble
in bending his knees, as though he was
afflicted with rheumatism.
He Informed his land!ady that he would
take his meals at the house of her friend
who had sent him around When he was
told the terms he said they were salts
factory and told her that he had rather
payldn advance. This was agreeable to
his hostess and Miller produced a check
for S135, and asked her If she could cash
1t.
She saw that the check was on, some
national bank, but did not notice which
one. She told him that she had not SO
much money in the house and returned
the paper Miller then said that he
would have the check cashed and pay
her on the following day. This also was
agreeable to the landlady, who suspected
nothing wrong.
The man stated that he was employed
at Allen & enters. He failed to return
to the clearinghouse on Saturday, and
upon inquiry it was found that he was
not employed at Allen & Gnters, nor
las he been seen since.
Both ladies' seem quite put out by the
occurrence and especially the one who
lives on Franklin Street When she in
souired at Allen & enters factory for
Miller the assistant tiine-keeper, she was
Informed that no such person was in their
employ.

make a trip east.
His wife was very anxious about
him and felt certain that he would
fall victim to smallpox, which was
reported to be prevalent in the city to
which he was going. She begged him
to carry little lump of asafetida in
his pocket to ward off contagion.
Naturally he objected and positively
refused to be made the permanent
abode Of such persistent odor.
When he came home from his trip,

when a sufficient number are collected
they are put in a mortar and ground
into fine flour, which is subsequently
mixed with the ginger jelly and rubbed
down to a smooth paste.
