STRANGE ACTION
OF YOUNG MAN
Seeks Conversation With
Women on Nineteenth
Street

Residents Of the vicinity Of Nino-
teenth and Washington streets ara
agog over the actions Of a mysterious
stranger who called at houses in that
neighborhood on Saturday and to-
day. He is described as a young
man. well-dressed in light suit, with
straw hat
He has visited every house on Nine
teenth street east Of Market and en-
deavored TO get in conversation with
the housewife.
'I have something very important 20
tell YOU" says the young man to the
'lady Of the house"
When the woman insisted that he ten
her at the front door the young man
invariably has replied 1T is far too
important to discuss on the porch'
The women of four different dwellings,
on Nineteenth street refused to admit
the young man TO their houses. but no
was admitted TO the NTH house When
he found that two women were in -he
parlor he mumbled something about
q mistake. and hurriedly departed.
Now the residents of that section
are wondering what the motive OF the
young man may be. lie has aroused
their curiosity. but not TO the extent
that they win admit him to their
homes to learn what he has to say
that is of such Importance.

CONFUSION AT
THE COURTHOUSE
Tearing Out Old Shelves
and Putting in New
Filing Cases

Everything is chaos about the
County Court House to-day. That
usually ck-and-span building is
topsy-turvy.
1t is all because of the installation
of new steel filing cases in the various
offices. Since Sunday workmen of
Hoskins & Co, Of Philadelphia. have
been tearing out the old wooden filing
shelves from the different offices, pre-
paratory to putting in the new steel
cases.
The result is confusion worse con-
founded. Offices, halls, corridors, are
piled high with the new and old cases,
and the interior of the Court House
presents a picture Of disorder.
This condition will be remedied by
the end Of the week, however, as it is
expected that the new filing cases viii
soon be in position. They are easily
installed as soon as the wooden shelves
are torn out. The records also are
being prepared for the new archives in
the various Offices.
