Philadelphia Youngster Touches a Live

PHILADELPHIA, July I5.-Frank
Hamilton. a twelve-year-old boy, this
evening sacrificed his life TO save a kit
ten from peril at the top of an electric
light pole on the estate of William Diss-
ton at Chestnut Hill An electric CIR
rent was the cause of the boys death.
Hamilton lived on the Disston place,
where his mother was employed in the
household. He was a favOrite because
OF his kindness toward animals. He
was always nursing a lame dog or a n in
valid animal of some kind.
A venturesome kitten climbed up an
electric pole on the ground, but was
afraid TO come down again. Darkness
was approaching and the timid animal
began TO cry. The boy could not bear
TO see it in distress. so he climbed the
fifty-foot pole with some difficulty He
was in the act of reaching out 10 seize
the kitten when his hand came in con
tact with a live electric lighr wire. In
an instant he coiled up and was hurled
head first 10 the ground.
A man on an adjoining place. who saw
him all, ran to his assistance. but

carried into the house and two physi-
clans were summoned. but he died in a

game at Bay Ridge this summer Since
Lillian Russell started to play the

thought much about the game before
have bought tennis rackets and are
