BEGGARS OF THE WORLD.

Wherever there are men there are
Deegars. Every nation has its mendi
cants, and, although some people hold
them to scorn, there are Others who
venerate them and recognize their
business as legitimate.
Strangely, the greatest nation of
begsars in the world adjoins that
which has, perhaps, the smallest. or
one of the smallest, percentages OF
besgars-and these countries are
Italy and Switzerland.
That beggary is result of indol-
ence is shown by the fact that the peo-
pie Of every warm climate are over
run with mendicants. Egypt India
and Italy are the worst examples.
Among civilized nations beggary has
taken on fern of criminality. The
professional beggar bees, not for want
or prlNatiOn. He has reduced his
whines for help to a fine art which
yields riches in many cases

SPEED TRIALS OF TRAINS.
Carried Out in Various Ways, But
Best Results Obtained by
Timekeeper.

To literally keep pace with the
times, railway companies are always
building new types of locomotives.
and when a promising freshcomer is
finished, It Is taken out when there
is little traffic on some length of the
read and given speed trial, or "run
against the clock" to see what it can
do.
Speed trials of railway trains are
carried out in two ways There are
various mechanical speed recorders,
which, generally actuated by the
whrling wheels of the engine, indi-
cate the pace attained by means of a
a hand moving on dial, much after
the same fashion as cyclometers in
dicate distance trave ed, and Just as
the speed indicators of cycles or mo-
tor cars work
The most acurate and useful re-.
suits, however, are these obtained by
human timekeepers travelling on the
train. The timekeeper has with him
a shorthand clerk to note the interme-
diate times as the mile posts and dis
tance posts fly by. These, with the
train going at high speed, require to
be looked cut for very carefully. The
expert uses, perhaps, three stop
watches and an ordinary watch; and
by stoppihgt one watch and starting
another! at each quarter mile-the as

time fer the entire run, which, if no
mistake has been made, will, OF
course, be the exact total of all the
figures the assistant has entered in
his notebook.

THIS WAS EASY.

West Berwick gave the wierdest
kind of an exhibition in the base
ball game against the A. AS here
on Monday. 1t was, without any
exception, the worst ever. Only
one in the nine was there who
showed that he knew anything
about the game, the pitcher, Mr..
Ludwig. He, as long as there
were hopes of creditable showing,
did good work, and what he,
young, strong-armed, with plenty
of speed and good nerves, and a
promising future, is doing with an
incompetent, incongruous aggre-
CATION we have, since seeing the
game, pondered to our discomfort.
There were quite number of Ber-
wick rooters on the ground but
they didn't stay long. They
watched the wretched work of their
representatives for a few innings,
when, after some demonstrative
coincidence, they left.
The work of the locals was all
that could be desired. They hit
and ran bases we'll; displayed good
Judgment and had plenty of ginger.
Young Bomboy was on the slab
and acquitted himself in manner
that caused all sorts OF nice things
to be said about him. He has the
speed, curves and control and gives
promise of developing into a first
class pitcher. The whole team
played we'll and Coffmans work
was especially brilliant. Score,

Much Alarm, Little Cause.

The usual quiet and tranquility
of the town was twice embroiled by
fire alarms on Saturday. The first
was sent in shortly before the noon
hour, occasioned by an incipient
blaze at the home Of Daniel Ball on
East street below Fourth. A quilt
carelessly thrown against a stove
pipe became ignited, which in turn
communicated 70 a mattress. A
fire of serious proportions looked
iminent and an alarm was given.
The fire companies answered the
call but their services were not
needed as the burning articles had
been thrown out of the house be-
fore they reached the scene.
The second excitement of the
day and one which thoroughly
stirred up the whole populace oc-
Cured about half past five o'clock
in the afternoon. The whole fire
department was out, Market street
was fairly thronged with people
and for fully half an hour the agi-
tation was intense. Then it was
learned that the alarm was false
one.

BY the resignation of Dr.. Peck
from the faculty, the Normal School
loses a most efficient instructor

SUDDEN DEATH

John J. Sullivan died while sit
ting in a chair at his home on East
Seventh street Sunday morning.
He was the victim of a peculiar all
ment. On several places of his
body, on his hands. and above his
right eye, there were strange and
angry appearing growths, resemb-
ling blood tumors. In the opinion
of his physician he was similarly
affected internally, which it is be-
lieved, caused his death.
John was formerly a motorman
on the Catawissa division Of the
Columbia & Montour Electric Rail-
way, but of late had been employed
in like capacity on the Danville
and Bloomsbury line. He had not
worked for several days owing to
feeling unwell.
The deceased was twenty-five
years of age. A kind hearted,
courteous young man, and always
gentlemanly in his department.
He was personally known, and
highly esteemed by the writer, and
it is with feelings of genuine sor-
row that we pay this parting trib-
ute of respect.
He is survived by his widowed
mother, Mrs. Mary Sullivan, three
sisters, Mary, Hannah and Agnes,
and one brother, Joe. Rev. Daniel
J. Sullivan is step-brother.

FELL FROM
BRIDGE ABUTMENT.
With a Child in Her Arms, Mrs.
.Lohman Dropped Ten
Feet.
AIiqhted on Her Knees.

What might have been a fatal
accident occurred at the north side
abutment of the river bridge at
Catawissa Saturday afternoon when
Mrs. William Lohman of Berwick
with a babe in her arms stepped
upon a loose stone and was thrown
down into the field, a distance of
about ten feet. She had just
alighted from the Columbia &
Montour trolley car and had taken
the first step in descending the
abutment when the stone on which
she was standing turned and pitched
her off down into the field. She is
said to have struck the ground
squarely on her knees, which rem
ders the escape from death of the
child little short of a miracle.
No one saw her fall. There
were three or four other passengers
who got off the car, but they had
preceded Mrs. Lohman down the
steps and were probably fifty feet
distant when the screams of her
little six years old daughter, who
was also with her, attracted their
attention. Editor Randall of the
Catawissa Meas Item and William
Vastine of Catawissa, hurried to
her assistance. She was taken to
the Susquehanna House where she
remained until her husband could
be summoned from Berwick, after
which she was removed to the
home of her parents, Mr.. and Mrs
Sylvester Hover i'll Catawissa
township, to which place she was
going when the accident occurred.
She sustained several painful bruis-
es, but her injuries were not at all
serious. The child which she was
carrying, having been tightly
clasped in her arms, did not strike
the ground and was not injured.

SIGHT INJURED
BY EXPLOSION.
Ernest VanSiCkIe Of JamiSor
City Victim of Serious
MiShap.
Face Was Badly Burned.

Both eyes severely injured, one
to such an extent that it was feared
for a time that its use would be for
ever destroyed, his face badly bruis-
ed and his left ear torn, was the re-
suit of premature explosion of a
charge of powder at Jamison City
on Monday.
The accident was the outcome of
a Fourth OF July celebration.
Young VanCickle together with
several others cf his age were using
piece of gas pipe, filling it with
powder and setting it off by means
of fuze. They had no regular
fuze and were igniting the charge
with slip of paper, In this in
stance the paper was too short, and
young VanSickle after applying the
match, was unable to reach a safe
distance before the explosion oc-
Cured. AS stated above it was
feared that the sight Of his left eye
was destroyed. At the Williams
port Hospital, however, to which
institution acting upon the advice
of the family physician DR.. Smith,
gall he was Immediately taken, the
hope was expressed that the eye
could be saved.
