STRIKE SITUATION PRESENTED BEFORE CONGRESS
Mr.. ARMSTRONG;
DEATH WAS DUE
TO NATURAL CAUSES

1t Is regrettable that we'll mean
ing parties jumped at conclusions
regarding the death of the late Will
liam Armstrong, who was found
dead yesterday morning at his
home on North High street. There
was not the slightest indication OF
suicide after a rigid examination
Of the remains. The end was due
to natural causes and the ailment
was described as acute toxic gas
troentertls by the examining ply
stefan. Funeral Director Cole. who
prepared the remains for burial, al
SO found the dead mans throat and
stomach to be absolutely free from
any appearance of poisoning. 1t is
said that some OF those who went
to tho Armstrong home the morn
ing of the death discovered Nan
empty bottle that had contained
carbolic acid in an adjoining room
and jumped to the conclusion that
he had swallowed the acid Mr..
Armstrong; health had been bad
for some time and his physical con-
dition was such that the last fatal
attack was inevitable. The funeral
will be held from the late home
Sunday afternoon at 100 o'clock.
Relatives and friends also indig.
nantly" deny that Mr.. Armstrong
worried over the reported gun In
cdent. This Is considered the work
of enemies of the cause with which
he was identified and circulated In
an attempt to intimidate the dead
man and his friends.
He was n member of the FEEDER
ated Shop Crafts and President Fl.
II. Palmer, OF the Car Men, issued
call for all members OF the war;
ious crafts to assemble in the Jun
Tor Hall Sunday afternoon at
o'clock to attend the funeral OF
their brother.
Rev. A. j. Secrist, pastor Of the
First United Brethren Church Is to
be the officiating minister.

THE HABIT OF BEGGING

Each day the man carrier brings to the office Of
John d. Rockefeller upwards Of 5000 letters ali
asking for money.
The police OF New York investigating mendicants
upon the streets, discover that some Of them have
incomes OF $50 a day srom Aeir ability to appeal
10 the sense OF pity.
The letters that 60 10 Rockefeller are carefully
scanned by his secretaries and very few. if any
ceive answers The millions donated ~ the oil
king go by wholesale discover causes OF dis
ease and. through the elimination Of disease, TO
stamp out great cause OF Poverty.
What must be the nature OF men who either cap
italize their own misfortunes as do these profess
sionaI beggars. or OF the men who appeal the
richest to relieve their individual wants.
Is it a habit which be acquired easily as the
liquor or drug habit
OF course the person who capitalzes the loss OF
leg o. an eye when not in need OF funds puts him
self in the unworthy class He has sensed the great
fund OF human kindness which bear 10
visualize misfortune and which puts its hand into
its pocket automatically when faced with what ap-
pears be need and want.
But the habit of asking for gifts is not always
direct in its methods used by the writer's
Rockefeller
1t springs from lack of self reliance and lack
of courage and Of independence
There are beggars in the world who never ask for
money but who are in the same category as those
who plead for aims
These manifest their nature by always receiving
never giving They are found in every city and in
every street, supremely selfish inordinstely self
conferred
They the inconslderate ones who ask for atten-
ton their desires Of the moment and are
unwilling ray for that attention through return
OF thoughtfulness of consideration.
They are the ones who run their lives on the idea
Of getting something for nothing. of always taking
whatever is handed to them and never giving any
thing back in return.
When they feel need they effort to
supply that need but rely upon the donation from
friendly source.
They the who ask for loans when luck
runs bad and women who ask for smiles when they
always frown.
not all the beggars Of the world write letters to
rich men and they are not all on the streets with
their tin
Every person who tries to get more than he or
che is willing TO give lists himself with
these thousands who boldly ask for alms-and are
deserving of the regard.

But the public has not so branded its booteggers

The woman who sells moonshine loses nothing in
