 The sudden excitement among the Schmidts was due to the, announce ment in morning newspaper that Carl Schmidt, an S0-year-old inmate of Bowery lodging house. had been taken to Bellevue hospital, dying, and $3,3SO cash and banks books showing savings of more than $15,00O had been discovered upon his person, by Rutt-ss ledge. an examiping physician.
 The old man was unable to give any account of himself and was ap1 parently without friends or relatives, His clothing was ragged and he had been insufficiently nourished. A G. A, R. button in the lapel of his rusty. green-black coat indicated that he was a veteran of the civil war. :.
 1nvestigations failed. to reveal the old mans family connections or the story of his life From his associates on the Bowery it was learned that he first appeared in the lodging house district about. toqrteen years ago.

BRANDYWINE SUMMIT CAMP,
Aug. 21.-A campaign against the
popular songs of the day was pro-
posed for Epworth League autumn
work yesterday by Mrs. Martha An
drews of Union Epworth League.
Mrs. Andrews thought that "My
Wife's Gone TO the Country" and
Cutie, I'm Dead Stuck on You" were
not calculated to give young people
high ideal Of marriage and Of the
family. She said she did not intend
to substitute the long metre dox-
ology, but a better grade of secular
music as well as the grand old Meth
odist hymns.
Mrs. Andrews also attacked the
books found in the modern home. She
thought the lack of interest in spir-
itual things of the modern young peo-
pie was due to the rush of work and
play that left no time nor desire to
| think.
