) Es4 ERDAY,s SHOCK MARKET.
Bank of England Sends Sensation
 Through Worlds Markets.

New York, Oct. 19,The Bank of Eng land sent a sensating pulsating through the financial markets of the whole world bJ it's unexpected action to-day in advancing its official minimum dis count rate from to 6 per cent, fol- lowing an advance from to per cent. on October Il. The speculative position in all markets was disturbed and the effect in New York seems to have been more acute even than in foreign mar- kets. The rush to sell at the opening of the market here was emphasized by vague fears that some undisclosed de- velopment lay behind the drastic meas ure thus adopted by the great central institution of English finance. Prompt inquiry established that nothing more was involved then the necessity that was forced upon the English bank to stop the drain upon its reserve fund. The immediate factor in precipitating the action was the threatened with drawal of $5,OOoOOO from the bank for shipment to Egypt.
 The downward plunge in sterling eX- change in this market also opened the way for renewed negotiation for secur- ing incoming gold in London for New York account. The effect was an im- mediate rebound in exchange here. There was some later reaction in ex- change rates with the running up of the market in New York Rates for time loans were strongly bid at per cent. for all dates, and efforts were re- ported to negotiate some very large loans on time. Lenders were little in- clined to place funds except for the longer periods. Call loans advanced to 2 per cent, comparatively early in the day.

HEREFORD Pa, Feb. 2.-The mild

Berks county has the reputation OF
harboring more tramps than any other
county in the state, and perhaps the
nation, and in the ranks of these hoboes
there are many interesting characters
The premier tramp, the bum par eN-
celence, the incarnation of the hobo
genus, is undoubtedly Fred Bergeman.
who, though a native of the kingdom OF
Saxony, has tramped the highways OF
America for thirty-seven years and
likes his calling.
Even his record is not perfectly clear.
1t is sullied by the fact that for fiye
weeks he held job in a Connecticut
rolling mill, but that was years ago,
and he has done his best since that
time to live it down.
Thrown upon his own resources at
the age of 12 Bergeman wandered
through North Germany and Holland.
and to escape military duty, with It's
enforced work and cleanliness, he en-
igrated to America.
He tramped the Empire state, drifted
into Connecticut, where the nightmare
Of the rolling mill was endured, and
finally ambled into Pennsylvania and
happy Berks county. Bergeman says
he has slept in thousands of barns in
thirty different states. He Is 65 years
old and has been sick but twice in his
life
''lind-hearted people then saw was
cared for in hospitals" he says, 'and
am just as sure 1t will be seen that
my body has suitable burial. Centuries
from today 1t will be just the same as
though / had been millionaire, a man
OF letters or philosopher. The simple
life OF a beggar Is good enough for me,
and the daily tramp, getting morsel
of food here and there, VIII keep me
healthy.

children, that ever met has been kind
