Many of those who called were in dire
distress, but these had to be turned
away with the others. Mrs. Duggan
says that many persons who are not
worthy are begging clothing in all parts
OF the city, and states that many of
these exchange 1t for whiskey as soon
as it is obtained. By sending their old
clothing to her. charitable people can
be assured that 1t will find its way only
into the hands of mertorous persons.

WERE EASY FOR PERRY.
Wrestler Gained Two Victories Last
Night-FTe Is to Meet Prof. M.
j. Dwyer on Dec. 20.

Gideon Perry. the wrestler, who has
beer taken up by the Scranton Bcy-
| Gle club, made his first public appear
ance last night in the club house be-
fore a large gathering of club mem
bers and their friends and defeated
with great ease the two men who
went up before him. despite the fact
that he is afflicted with large boil
on his side. which gives him continual
pain.
When Perry made his appearance on
| the mat and threw off the bath robe
in which he was enveloped, a mur-
mur of appreciation went round the
room, as his splendidly developed
form came into view. Andy" Will
lians. of Newark. N. j., faced him.
The latter is short and is burdened
with an over-supply of flesh. which
hung in loose folds over his belt
Everybody who knew anything at all
about wrestling saw Immediately that
the best he could hope to do would
be to hold Perry off for a while. He
didn't even succeed in doing this. and
Perry. without apparently half try
ing, put him down twice in succession
in four minutes eight seconds. and
three minutes nine seconds, respec-
lively.
The next to try conclusions with
Perry was abe" Crocl1er, the wiry
little wrestler from North Scranton.
who, though he was entirely out of
Perry's class, volunteered to go on for
the amusement of the crowd. lie
seemed like u plaything in the big
mans hands, but he squirmed and
wriggled so much that it was three
minutes and thirty three seconds be-
fore Perry got him on his back. and
when he did so, the crowd loudly
cheered the plucky little chap.

THE ORINoCo.
One of the Great but Little Known
Rivers of the World.

Fran the Caracas Herald.
one of the greatest rivers of the
world. the Orinoco, is also one of the
least known to Europeans. Its sister,
the Amazon, has often been described,
by Wallace and Bates, among others,
but Humboldt remains practically the
only writer of standing upon the great
stream, which, rising on the frontiers
of Brazil, runs for 1000 miles through
Venezuela, receiving in its course such
immense tributaries as the Mela and
Apure, and discharging itself by a hum
dred mouths into the South Atlantic
opposite the British island of Trinidad.
The principal entrance, and the only
one available for sailing vessels. is the
Boca Grande to the south, into which
flow, among other tributaries, the Ara
tura and the Amacura. the latter al
most coinciding in it's course with the
Schomburg boundary line between Brit
ish Guiana and Venezuela. But most of
the traffic of the Orinoco passes through
Trinidad, where passengers and goods
are transferred to steamers almost fiat
bottomed. and reach the Orinoco by the
mouth known as Macarao, the open sea
being avoided. 1t was by that route
chartered for the occasion, on a trip Of
800 miles up the great river, forming
probably the first, and certainly the
largest party of tourists which had
ever ascended it.
Six hours after leaving Port-Of- Spain
the entrance of the Macarao was reach
ed, and for fourteen hours we navigat-
ed a deep channel. perhaps half Il mile

those who had read of the delta of the
Orinoco as a dismal swamp, thousands
of square miles in extent, tenanted

is not quite correct. Wcll-nigh i'm

But the passerby sees none of the
horrors of this great swamp. They are
concealed by magnificent trees growing
to the waters edge. whose branches
may sometimes be touched from the
steamer, when she is stcered close to
the shore in order to avoid the current.
