seeoAR KNOWS HIS BUSINESS
Philadelphia Mendieant a. Credit to
His Profession.

One of the professional beggars
whose "lay" is along Broad street
from Chestnut to South has evolved
a new style of approach which is
bringing him in large returns. He
studies the feet of passers- by, and
when he sees man coming along in
shined or in shoes that have been
new shoes that have been recently
shined, he takes a stand directly in
the way OF his intended victim and
stares hardly at those same shoes.
OF course the pedestrian stops short
and looks down at his feet to see what
is the matter with them. Then the
beggar remarks, as II to himself. but
i'll tone which you may wager the
victim hears well enough:
MY! l wisht had pair of shoes
as good as them is"
Thus the besgar has accomplished
two things. He has forced the pedes-
trian to stop and pay attention which
is half of the professional beggar's
game in every case, and he has Sc.
cured a fine introduction for
touch" There is usually nickel
in it, at any rate, and sometimes
there is pair of shoes, which can
be conveniently pawned.
For, OF course, in this particular
beggar's role there is no use save for
the very worst shoes imaginable

FRUIT PRESERVED IN PEAT.
Discovery Recently Made censidered
of High importance.

What is considered highly import
ant discovery has just been made In
the matter Of the shipment OF fruits
II is believed that solution has final
ly been found on the problem OF trans
porting delicate tropical fruits long
distances.
The experiments have been made
by a French company under the aus
pices of the French government. The
shipments have been made from
Guiana and the island of Guadeloupe.
in the Lesser Antilles, to France, and
the outcome is declared most satisfac-
tory
The secret of the new process is the
development of the fruit in a particu-
lar kind of peat or turf. that, namely,
which Is known as yellow Dutch peat.
PineappIes, bananas, mangoes. sapo-
tas ond other delicate fruits have been
taken when in perfectly ripe condition.
enveloped in the fibrous substance and
after several weeks spent in transpor-
tation have arrived at their destina-
tion in perfectly fresh and sound
condition.
Peat. as is known, is vegetable mat
ter more or less decomposed, which
passes by insensible degrees into lig-
mite. The less perfectly decomposed
peat is generally of a brown color.
that which is perfectly decomposed is
often black. Now, moist peat. 1t has
for some time been known, possesses a
decided and poWerful antiseptic prop-
erty. This is ascribed to the pres
ence of gallic acid and tannin. 1t is
manifested not only in the perfect
preservation of ancient trees, and Of
leaves, fruits and the like. but some
times even of animal bodies. Thus, in
some instances, human bodies have
been found perfectly preserved in
peat. after the lapse of centuries

Death Of buffalo Bill" Mclaughlin
Once Saved Gen. Miles Life.

Buffalo Bilr' Mclaughlin, former cow
boy. scout and frontiersman, died In Phila-
delphia, Thursday, and that city as well as
the plains, loses a picturesque character.
After claiming to have been target for
hundreds of bullets. Mclaughlin died of
heart disease In a little stable In the south
ern part of the city, where he had for the
past thirteen years earned livelihood. Just
before death he asked for his fayorite gun.
and he died with 1t in his hand. McLaugh-
lin claimed to have served under Gen. Miles,
and he regarded as his browning achieve
ment his saving the generals life. AS he
told 1t. the story ran that at Fort Smith,
Kan, during a Sioux campaign, he was
cantering over the prairies, when he met
the general, who stopped to chat with him.
moment later a drink-crazed half-breed,
whom Gen. Miles had punished for attempt
Ing to hold up a train. came gallopfng
along. Wheeling his horse, the half breed
opened fire with his revolver at Gen. Miles.
but before he could fire second shot he
fell from his saddle with bullet from
AcIaughlin's gun through his heart.
