REAL VOLUNTEER
ORGANISE DEAD

in Death. y
New York Sun Special Service.


New York, July Is. - Victor e..
Benke came to this country eleven
years ago, an outcast and a tramp.
Next Monday afternoon, at the Bow
cry mission, the mission workers Of
the city will meet at his funeral serv-
ices to do honor to his memory and
to voice their appreciation of what he
accomplished for the poor and DESC
late.
Poems have been written about
Benke's conversion. Not so long ago
vertisingN spaces in the city exploit
ing a play which had been founded
upon the incident.
Benke was an Austrian. His father
was devoted to music and gave both
his sons a thoro musical education.
Victor was trained to be civil en-
gineer.. When he was FL he came to
this country with his share of the
family fortune. Both his father and
mother were dead. He paid little
attention to his profession and a great
deal to enjoying himself.
When his money was gone he
drifted down to the Bowery and
picked up beer money here and
there. He became a bum of the
lowest Bowery type.
AS most men Of this sort do, he
took to hanging around in the rooms
| of the Bowery mission for the sake
| of shelter and warmth. One Sunday
morning in 1894, Mrs. Sarah Bird
who always leads the meetings, rose
and announced that the pianist was
absent and that unless some one
could volunteer to take his place, the
singing would have to be without any
accompaniment. Mrs. Bird mean
the remark as a gentle jest.
But Victor Benke, dirty, unkemp
and ragged. stumbled into the aisle
numbered forward to the piano
pushed aside one or two officious PEG
pie who did not understand what HI
wanted to do, and sat down at tn
instrument. The moment he strucl
the keys there was no question of hi
ability to take the place of the absen
pianist. He ran his eye over tn
hymn music and made the old pian
yield up such tones as no one Their
ever heard from it before.

him go back. She worked with him

time until his death. -
He organized the Bowery missio
quartet, in which he sang: himself
and which has appeared in concert

+ FAMINE DANGER SMALL
Sioux City Packinghouses Fill the
Minneapolis RefrigeratorS.

This morning several cars Of meat
from the packinghouses at Sioux City
were received by the Minneapolis
agencies, and word sent that more
were on the way from the same
source. The result is, that in some
lines, the local packinghouse agencies
are actually overloaded and a slight
decline in the wholesale price of pork
this morning was the result.
b The meat shortage for Minneapolis
is certainly something for the future,
and nothing to cause present worry.
The neutrality-suspicious. abattoirs, which
are eager to be given a. chance to do
some business, have not in single
case received orders which would war
rant beginning operations.
There seems to be a shortage, now
ever, in what are termed the regular
meat Substitutes Poultry and eggs
are already short of the existing de-
mand. Hens have either quit laying
or the farmers are too. busy to bring
them to market. A jump of about
2 cents in the wholesale .price-to liz
is the result. The normal shipment
of eggs into Minneapolis at this season
of the year is 1900 to $500 cases
The Produce Exchange reports yes

day began selling eggs put into colo
storage a few weeks ago for winter
use. The supply Of poultry is toda!
less than yesterday, and is below the
demand. There is no supply on hand
in storage to fall back upon. AS re.
suit, the poultry dealers along produce
row, are paying 10 to II cents for hen!
and for Springs" as high as 16 to l.
cents. The result is that the house

Pelvic Catarrh is a phrase coined by

term that covers all cases of catarrh OF

Philadelphia, July 16.-Having at

head" traveller entirely disproportion-

arrived here yesterday as a stowaWay
on the HaWaiian-American Line
steamship California, sixty-eight days
out from Honolulu.
The boy is the son of a wealthy
steamship man in Hilo, on
the Island of Hawaii. It was
after his father had refused him
permission to make the long sea voy-
age of nearly $4,000 miles that John
conceived the idea Of slowing away
on the ship.
Before the Californian sailed the
boy was found in the coal bunkers by
one of the crew, but the little fellow
pleaded so hard to be allowed to
remain that the stoker surreptitiously
brought him food and water enough
to last him until the ship was far
from port.
