Philadelphia Society is Unique,
Organization Of Rich Men Formed TO Relieve the Distress
Of Cne>Time MAEonaires Who Have, Fallen

It Is curious and. indeed, startling,
says the Philadelphia North American,
to find that right here In this city
there has existed for nearly fifty years
without the knowledge Of more than a
few persons an association OF men de,
voted to a unique and transformations
well'doing. Public ignorance Of their
enterprise Is all the more remarkable
from the fact that among these men
are some OF the wealthlest, most in.
fiuential and test.known citizens in
the community.
But 1t is the unusual character of
their benehcence that attracts inter.
'est. All these men are wealthy-some
beyond the dreams OF avarice-but
their purpose has nothing to do with
the amelioration OF the condition of
the pauper. On the contrary, there is
a society for the rescue of the de.
cayed millionaire.
They call II the Merchants Fund as.
ISOLATION, and the 49th annual meeting
was held the other day in a little old

old gentlemen is to relieve once
wealthy companions Of their early
days, who have since lost their for.

the killed ten were mistaken for deer
and shot by other persons, one was a

being aimed at. The rest were acct

that the high power, small calibre

through the animal and does not bring
It down. It gets away and, if overcome
at all, falls later before wolves. One
estimate is that, for every deer brought
in by hunters, at least one other died
in the woods.
