TO THE GOOD PEOPLE OF ARD.
MORE FOR CHRISTMAS
CHEER FOR THE POOR.

Now that Thanksgiving day has
come and gone, and that all of us
have as individuals and as ma.
ton rendered thanks TO our Heavenly
Father for the many benefits that
we have received, our thoughts are
now beginning to turn to Christ.
mas. and visions % an old fashioned
Christmas tree looms up In our vi.
sions. and maqy OF us remember
with keen pleasure the last Christ
mas we spent with mother beside
the old fire place and brothers and
sisters romping around the place as
in days gone by Some OF Us remem.
ber visit to the spot where the
old school house stood. we revisit
ed the scenes where we played In
childhood and now. many OF us
are In countries far from home.

ing well.
Christmas time is the time OF good
cheer, and when we should remem-
ber the less fortunate, who per-
haps through sickness will not be
able to enjoy the spirit of this seas.
on us as we should.
The Salvation Army. God bless
that organization. have at all times
made arrangements TO remember the
poor on the occasion OF Christmas
tide. and this year Capt. f. A..
Thomas. commander OF the local ar
my, makes the following appeal to
the good people OF Ardmore.
The Salvation Army will give
their annual feast to the poor of
Ardmore and n Christmas tree to
the poor children who would not
get anything otherwise Baskets will
be sent to the homes Of the de.
serving poor containing enough for
the family for which 1t is prepared.
Each family will be visited and the
number in the family taken and
the baskets prepared accordingly.
The names and ages of the chill
dren will be taken and presents
bought and put on the tree for
them. An entertainment will be Civ.
en- by the Armys Sunday school
The baskets will not be given out
carelessly TO some who are not
worthy. and 10 family will get more
than one basket. This win make
many hearts glad that would other.
wise be unhappy on Christmas day.
This means a great deal OF work
for the army to do soliciting and
collecting and looking up of the
families and children who are in
the city and needy. Notwithstanding
the hard work. the members of the
army do this work cheerfully and a
few dollars given to them will bring
cheer and gladness to many of the
unfortunates OF this city.
Anyone knowing Of a worthy poor
person or family can phone Capt
Thomas at the Army barracks and
the captain will look them up
Those persons who give money can
make their checks payable to Cap
tain f. A. Thomas. Be sure how
ever and do not give the check to
any one who does not wear the
Salvation Army uniforms or who is
not carrying card authorizing him
or her to collect signed by the of
ficers in charge OF the local bar
racks.

CONFESSES MURDER
OF MRS. LEWIS
John G. Price Admits Killing Woman
in Philadelphia
WON'T BETRAY ACCOMPLICE

Philadelphia, Dec. 81. = John G.
Price, who has been under arrest in
this city since December 8, according
to a statement made by Captain of
Detectives Donaghy, has confessed
that he murdered Mrs. Maurice Lewis
at 2103 North 18th street on the after
noon of September 10. In a written
statement Price, who has been arrest
ed several times on charges of forgery
and larceny, says that, with a COM
panion, whose name he refuses to give,
he wentsto the 18th street house for
the purpose of robbery. They repre-
sented themselves as plumbers. While
his companion was searching the up
stairs rooms, Price says that Mrs.
Lewis came upstairs and caught him.
He then continues: There was a
struggle and a chase. At the foot of
the stairs l caught Mrs. Lewis to keep
her from screaming, and a handker-
chief was thrust into her mouth. 1
then drew from my pocket a lance
which l had previously stolen from a
physicians Office" At this point
Prices statement ends abruptly, with
the following: MY God; can't write
it. l killed her; l alone am guilty"
Mrs. Lewis body was found in
closet under the stairs in her home.
She had been stabbed through the
neck with a sharp instrument which
might have been a lance or dirk The
murder has baffied the police officials
of this city ever since its commission.
Mrs. Lewis boarded with a Miss
Kelly, and the latter and a boarder
named Harry Somers were placed un-
der arrest shortly after the crime, but
were subsequently discharged for lack
of evidence.
The prisoner is "a years old. In 1899
he was tried in the criminal courts on
charges of forgery and larceny and
was acquitted on the grounds of in
sanity and sent to the Norristown in
sane asylum. He was found, the police
say, at that time in the Episcopal hos
pital under treatment for the cigarette
and drug habit. In his confession he
tells of having frequently stopped in
saloons to get a drink of absinthe
while planning the Lewis robbery.
The prisoner was originally arrest
ed on a charge of stealing from the
Aldine hotel, where he had been a
chef. He walked into detective head
quarters and described the hotel thief
and told where he lived. When the de
tectives went with him to the home of
the alleged thief, they discovered he
was the man. When they told him he
was the thief, he simply said: 81 know;
just wanted to see if you could pick
me up on description
He said he could not sleep because
he heard the cries of Mrs. Lewis g.
year-old child in his ears, and for that
reason confessed to having committed
the murder.

A. J. Cassett's Career.
Alexander Johnston Cassatt was
born in Pittsburg, December 8, 1889.
His father, Robert S. Cassatt, was for
a number of years closely identified
with the financial and industrial in
terests of Western Pennsylvania, and
was the first mayor of Allegheny City.
The elder Cassatt removed to Europe
and young Cassatt took up a course of
study in the University of Darmstadt.
Upon his return to America he en-
tered the Rensselaer, Polytechnic Col
lege, at Troy, N. Y, from which insti-
tuition he was graduated in 1859 as a
civil engineer. From this time on his
rise in the railway world was rapid.
In 1861 he was appointed-a a rodman on
the Pennsylvania railroad. The ability
shown in this post attracted the notice
of his superiors, and when, in 1864,
the Pennsylvania Railroad company
assumed control of the Philadelphia e
Erie railroad, Mr.. Cassatt was trans
ferred to Remove, Pa, and intrusted
with the duties of resident engineer of
the middle division. He held important
positions with the Philadelphia &
Erie and the Pennsylvania railroad
until 1871, when he was made general
manager of all the Pennsylvania rail-
road lines east of Pittsburg and Erie,
an Office of which he was the first
incumbent. After the death of ]. Ed
gar Thomson, president of the Penn
sylvania Railroad company, a reor-
ganization of the higher officials be-
came necessary, and Mr.. Cassatt was,
on July 1, 1874, advanced to the posi-
ton of third vice president, which Of
flee he filled until June l, 1880, when,
upon the retirement of Colonel Thomas
A. Scott then president of the COM
pany, and the accession to the presi.
dency of George B. Roberts, he be-
came first vice president. On Septem
Der 80, 1882, he voluntarily resigned
his Office and retired to private life
On September II, 1888, he was elect
ed>a director of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road company, and was elected presi.
dent of the same company on June 8,
1899. Shortly thereafter he was elect.
ed president of the Philadelphia, Will
mington G. Baltimore Railroad com.
pany, the Northern Central Railway
company. the Pennsylvania company
and the Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Chicago
& st. Louis Railway company.

QUIET SUNDAY AT PINE KNOT
Presidents Party Attended Church
Despite Weather.

Despite Weather.
Charlottesville, Va, Dec. 31.-A typi.
cal London fog hung over Pine Knot
neighborhood, which the president
spent in quiet. Threatening weather
did not interfere with the plans of the
president to attend divine service at
Christ church, which is but a short
distance from the Roosevelt cottage.
President and Mrs. Roosevelt and 10.
seph Wilmer made the trip in a car.
riage from Plain Dealing stables,
driven by "Dick" Mcdaniel. The rest
of the party, accompanied by William
Wilmer, walked to and from the
church, despite the mud. President
and Mrs. Roosevelt joined heartily in
the services. the presidents responses
being quite distinct.
The president had bad luck on his
hunting trip. Up in Green mountain,
seven miles from Pine Knot, he came
across a lot of wild turkeys. When
flushed they flew in every direction,
but the president was patient and he,
together with Uncle Dick" began to
initiate the turkey cry. After over an
hour he was rewarded by seeing one
of the scattered birds returning to the
spot where flushed. With a quick
movement the president rose to his
feet and fired, but missed his mark.
He took two other shots at the bird.
but by this time it was too far away.
