Taken in hand by kindly policemen,
white man from Moselle was given
lodging in the city prison last night
that only cost him S. fine and When
he went into police court this morning

drunk when picked up on Main street
late yesterday afternoon. When
searched at the police station it was
found that he had a bunch of about
$50 on him, and he agreed with the
officers that it was a good thing he
was arrested, else he would
probably have lost his money.

saddest and most urgent that has ever
been presented here. When men,
Der of the help and charity committee
of Court Street NJ. E. Church called
at this desolate home, the scene was
appalling, the mother and two children
very i'll and absolutely nothing on
earth. A little boy was found sitting
on the floor eating raw rice. They
had neither food, clothing or shoes.
The mother told with tears streaming
down her thin wan cheeks, how she
had folded her hands in earnest suppl
cation to the blessed Master for help,
and the assistance came Immediately.
When this messenger of God told her
that her prayers were answered, the
joy unspeakable leaped into the poor
burdened heart, and she gave vent to
her feelings in tears of joy. The help
and charity committee of Court Street
M. E. Church, composed of Messrs. R..
A. Cameron, Hardy Noteworthy and
Miss Laura Williams, succeeded in get
ting seven pairs of shoes, clothing and
hats for the little boys, groceries,
wood and oil. The mother and girls
are yet to be clothed. Now, let the
good hearted people respond to this
call without delay While their tenn
porary wants are partly supplied, still
family of that size will need a great
deal more. The committee want to
thank all who responded and espe
cially the following merchants who
made big reductions in their goods;

Conner Shoe Company and the Nicely
Company. The name of the family is
