MANY GOODS WERE SOLD

Articles
MANY GOODS WERE SOLD

Managers Of the Homeopathic Hospi-
tai are much pleased with the results OF
the first day Of the old and new sale for
the benefit OF that institution, which
opened in Pyle's Cycle Academy on Sat
urday last. The women managers who
were present and assisted with the sale,
say that it exceeded all expectations.
So great was the rush on the stock the
first day of the sale it has been necessary
for the managers to make an immediate
appeal for more donations. They make
an especial appeal for useful articles of
most any kind to help this worthy cause.
Shoes are now needed and the stock was
nearly exhausted on Saturday. A new
line of furniture is also badly needed as
many articles have been disposed Of.
Any of the board of managers if notified.
will have the goods called for.
For several days previous to the open
ing women had been engaged in arrang-
ing the various articles donated. AT 1
O'Clock on Saturday when the sale start
ed, arranged in separate spaces were the
articles donated by friends of the hospi-
tai. These articles included mems, wo-
mems and chldren's clothing, hats. caps,
shoes. furniture, tapestry. furniture, bed
ding, carpets and mating. kitchen uten-
Sils and bric-a-brac, all nicely arranged
with the selling price marked on all the
different articles.
Scarcely had tho doors been thrown
open than purchasers began to crowd III
md all day long the building was thron.-
ID with persons bent upon a bargain.
Women clerks were busy until closin.
hours waiting upon customers. BY 10
Saturday night the stock had been re
luced to remarkable extent. One es-
pecial feature was the demand for shoes,
llmost the entire stock having been
leaned ont early in the evening.
Although the cause is most worthy
one local merchants are said to have
taken no interest in the sale and in som,
"asrs appeals have been ignored. On the
other hand. Philadelphia merchants have
responded nobly and many articles Of use
fitness and value have been contributed.
One firm donated an entire line of new
hats which was greatly appreciated

On August 10th Attorney Robert Adair
representing friends of Rollo, conferred
with the library committee desiring to
know if there was any way by which the
damage done could be adjusted without
prosecuting the offender Mr.. Adair was
informed that the committee would not
make itself party to the offence by
settling the case and at any rate had
no authority to do so as the matter was

prosecution.
| The seach for Rollo continued and
every effort was exerted to capture him.
Detective Francis made frequent trips
to the house and spent night after night
at Brandywine Springs watching the
house. His experiences on n number
of occasions with a man whom he had
every reason to believe was Shadowing
him were rather amusing Later the
detective spent considerable time in sew
eral of the Pennsylvania counties i'll

Finally it was decided to watch a GER

post office inspector was enlisted. Tho
Ioutcome was the arrest of I,ollo. After
Detective Francis has brought Buck"
Cunningham here today he will immcdin
tely return to Pennsylvania accompanied

The greatest difficulty experienced in
,:nining information about Rollo was
Dccasioned by the fact that people living
in the vicinity of his residence believed
him to be an anarchist and We're afraid
- say anything. About three weeks
ago Rollo was seen at Front and Rronme
trents by boy who worked during the
summer at Brandywine Springs Park.
The boy told Detective Francis several
days afterward that he had seen Rollo
but was afraid TO tell of it ut the time.
