Beggars and Fakirs.

The following from the Houghton
Gazette is equally applicable to Ely:
Taking beggars come with the warm
days of the early summer and they
usually stay all summer. The copper
country is yeritable mecca for them.
This can be explained by the natural
generosity of a prosperous people. 1t
may also be explained by the fact
that people who have plenty of cash
In their pockets are likely to be will
ling to part with it on the slightest
provocation. The beggars get here
in largest crowds about the time the
mining companies are paying the men
their regular monthly installment of
remuneration for labor. And they
have no trouble in securing large sums.
What is the right thing for an hon.
est man to do with beggars? There
are many, many worthy cases. In
fact the majority are those which de-
serve our sympathy and our cash.
The fakirs are in the minority. But
the taking cases are usually so fragrant
and it is so difficult to discriminate
that the average good hearted indi-
yidual is willing to give all, fakirs in
cluded, rather tlIan run the risk Of
turning away from some really de-
serving case of suffering poor.
A man. supposedly blind, walked up
several flights of stairs to tile editor

few days since. If he had been wise
he would have avoided tackling news
paper men on genera. principles. But
he was neither wise nor willing to
work. He was big, rawboned indi-
vidual But apparently he was help
less. Leading him was another big,
raw boned individual, who was not
blind, neither was he lame, nor yet
halt. Certainly he was not hating

the street.
Now a case of this kind makes the
average man mad clear through. He
isn't so mad to part with his money
as to think that the beggar took him
for such an easy mark. There are
Others just as unfit for assistance
from charitable public. There are
cases of honest beggars who are really
and truly in physical suffering, but
who, when they get their money
spend it for drink. Calumet groans
under the burden of this sort of thin g
and the other towns of the county
are no less unfortunate.

YOUNG PEOPLES UNION.
Installation Of Officers and Discussion
Of Zionist Movement.

Of Zionist Movement.
At regular meeting Of the Young Peo-
pies Union of Zion Sunday evening at
Pythian Temple installation Of Its newly
elected officers took place The officers for
the ensuing term of six months are: Chair
man. Mr. Mark Stearman; vice president,
Miss Rose Aaron: recording secretary. Mr..
Falk Harmed; financial secretary, Miss
Rose Cohen; treasurer Mr.. Charles Stein;
sergeant-at-arms, Mr.. N. Mazer. and trus-
tees. Messrs. j. Leon. Arnold Hirsh and
Miss Hattie Stein.
Mr.. Charles w. London Of Baltimore, the
president Of the Southeastern Council of
Zonists, conducted the installation cere-
mony and afterward outlined the status Of
the Zionist movement. He spoke on the
whether the Jews should accept England's
offer to establish colony in Uganda,
Africa, or to uphold the original aims and
objects Of the Zionist movement to regain
much debate at the Zionist congress held
in Basic. Switzerland, last July He laid
particular stress on the fact that the de-
cision of the Basic congress not to consider
the Uganda question was a just, proper and
harmonious one, for all the energies Of the
complishment Of one thing-the regaining
of Palestine-while had England's PROPOSE
ton to establish colony in Uganda been
accepted the movement would have become
divided into many factions, Its original
aims and objects would have been lost and
anything but harmony would have existed.
Mr.. Paul Gordon of Baltimore. the secre-
tary OF the Southeastern Council Of Zion
lists, also spoke on the question as regards
propagating the movement in this country,
while President Stearman concluded the
meeting with a fine address on the same
subject in detail.

Mrs. Anna n. Columbus Inhales u
Eliminating Gaa

Mrs. Annie n. Columbus, forty-three
years old, who was employed in the govern
ment printing office. committed suicide at
her home. 1898 North Capitol street. last
night or this morning. by inhaling iilumi-
mating gas. III health Is the reason as
signed for her act. It was about clock
this morning when Mrs. Taliaferro. a
daughter Of the unfortunate woman, discov-
cred that her mother was dead. A gas
tube leading from the gas fixture to the
mouth of Mrs. Columbus made it clear
that her death was not due to an accident,
and the daughter of the dead woman hur-
rted from the house to summon assistance
She had been attracted to the room by the
odor of gas, but had also been somewhat
alarmed at the failure of her mother to be
about the house as early in the morning as
usual.
Mrs Columbus had been dead so long that
her body was cold. and 1t was useless to
summon a physician. The police were no.
tilted of the affair and summoned Coroner
hewitt So plain was the case that the
coroner quickly reached the conclusion that
the deceased had committed suicide. Mrs.
Columbus had been sick for. a long time and
had spoken of purpose to end her life.
She had made the statement several times,
II Is said but her friends never thought she
really meant L commit suicide. and were
shocked this s:.sSning when they learned OF
her death. Mrs. Columbus, 1t il stated,
was divorced from her husband several
years ago ane has been living with her
daughter since the separation.
An undertaken prepared the body Tor
burial, and the funeral will probably take
place from the home Of the daughter to-
morrow or Thursday. Mrs. Columbus had
been in government employment a number
of years and had many friends in the gov
eminent printing office.

Columbia Theater.

woodland" Pixley and Luder's musical
fantasy Of the forest, returned to Washing
ton last night for its second appearance,
and was accorded an enthusiastic reception
by an appreciative audience that taxed the
capacity of the Columbia Theater.
The charm of the quaint conceit was as
potent as ever. the feathered songsters of
the forest court as tuneful. the antics Of
the Blue Jay. thief and politician, and the
Rooster, braggart and booster. az amusing
as Of old.
OF story there is little, and for those who
have not wandered in the sun and shade OF
Woodland 1t would lose in the telling OF
music, mrth and melody there is enough to
keep plots and the like as far as they should
be from the forest and its native jewellers.
The cast Is practically the same as that
seen here last year. Harry Bulger gets
all that is possible out of the role Of Blue
Jay, tramp politician, and his efforts are
ably seconded by Sherman Wade as Gen
eral Rooster chief of police One Of the
newcomers among the principals Is Magda
Dale, young Spanish-Amercan girl, who
has the role Of Lady Nightingale. Miss
Dale's clear soprano was heard to advan-
tage in several songs, and in addition she
possesses charming stage presence. Miss

old. mate Of the schooner Oakland. who
fell from the deck OF the vessel and was
drowned some time after midnight this
morning. was recovered by the crew Of the
harbor police boat this forenoon. II was
from the Oakland that George Robinson,
whose funeral occurred at Arlington today,
lost his life last Friday near Marshall Hall.
Capt. Gray OF the Oakland now fears an
other fatality on his craft to make good
the superstition Of twos and threes.
The schooner came from some distance
down the river with q Load of cord wood
Tor local dealer and anchored near the
wall opposite the 18th street wharf Last
night Capt. Gray and his mate left the boat
and went ashore to spend the evening. The
mate was In pool room near the wharf
shortly before midnight engaged in a game
with some friends and started toward the
boat with the captain shortly after II
o'clock. Upon reaching the schooner the
captain entered the cabin and was soon
few minutes. but failed to reach the cabin.
1t was not until this morning that the cap
tain became aware that the mate had not
been in his bunk. and he went upon deck
to make investigation. The finding Of the
hat and coat Of the mate on deck convinced
the captain that the mate had fallen over
board and been drowned. He called upon
the harbor police and told them OF what
he suspected. and Lieut.. Sutton sent the
crew out to do the dragging. Their efforts
were soon rewarded. The body was re-
moved to the morgue and the coroner noti-
fed. It was apparent from the condition
OF the body and the circumstances attend
Ing the mans disappearance that he had
accidentally fallen overheard. This was the
conclusion reached by the police and the
coroner. The latter gave q certificate OF
death accordingly. and the body will be
