been q resident of this city for several
years He came from Bridgeport, Conn.,,
and for time followed the trade of a
carpenter Then he became afflicted
with diseased eyes and became an OBJ
ject of charity on the streets of the city.
He made an attempt to exc out part
of his living by selling peanuts from
a little wagon on the street, but he was
helped by organizations to the extent
that was possible to help him. The man
was 81 years of age and was quite a
character. He wore heavy fur collar
about his face in the warmest weather
or in the coolest winter saying that he
must protect his eyes. Cleanliness was
not of his virtues. as he declared that
the application of soap and water would
cause immediate hemorrhage of his
eyes and thrown him again into total
blindness. He had been before eminent
specialists with his trouble, but all gave
him no hope. He finally doctored his
own case, but was always much afflict-
ed and was to be pitied.
