HE WAS UP TO SNUFF.
How a Boy Worked I poo the SympatHaa
of a Charitable citizen.
It was during the raini of Monday
and pedestrians were hurrying to
their homes or hotels with all speed
possible. The wlmi -was whittling up
amd down the streets like a "silver
tipped" bootblack and as one man came
around the corner of Superior ana
Bank, a small thinly-clad boy of ten
der years, -Huddled In a heap In shel
tering doorway, attracted his attention.
The man paused and looked down at
the quiet child and as he did so a
wanderlm ray of light fell upon the
thin cheeks, showln ptanly where re
cent lean had washed away the grime
A bundle of soiled papers was clutched
In -hii childish arms, and the main's
heart beat faster as he looked.
"Poor llrntle chap," said he to himself,
flshtrte; about In his pocket for a dime,
"what a pathetic story of unfruitful
energy ihat tells! Poor -little chap!"
And dropping the coin safely into the
1 1 tt.de outstretched hand Wie man tip
toed around the corner and took anoth
er way home
And the boy? Exactly four seconds
after his benefactor had gome that poor
little chap rose gleefully to his feet and
after biting the dime murmured e're he
moved on to another doorway:
"Hully gee! Xls dodge beats sell In'
de pape's all holler! Lemma git some
more tears an' put 'em on me mug an'
I'll make a wheel t'nlght!"
GAINED EIGHT POUNDS.
Fat Man Takes Sharp Measnres to De
erease His Weight.
One of the queer Instances of violent
temper In a fat man was displayed the
past week. 'He Is well known In busi
ness circles and weighs 206 pounds. Me
bought a wheel to. rid ihlmaelf of tils
surplus avoirdupois. For several week
he puffed along the up and down of
life. Some friends thought he , was.
growing thinner, some considered Mm
rsatdonary, but all agreed that he was
looking quite fliusky. 'When- sufficient
time had elapsed 'he was placed on the
scales. Horrors to life, lie had gained
just eight pounds. With blood in hU
eye, and against the proles' tatlons of his
friends, his pocketknlfe -was produced.
Slash, slash, and the rubber tire of hi
wheel Was no more. With a quick
movement of bis foot the unhappy com
bination of man's Ingenuity disap
peared and 12B bad collapeed.

Vlademlr, and was born 1872, In Merlch
lery, Bulgaria. Ills father was a prom
inent business man, but having been
converted to Christianity he began to
preach everywhere as a local preacher
without pay. (He established five
churches, one being In his own town
where he himself preached gratuitously
every Sunday for eight years. He was
elected mayor of the town the same
year he 'become a Protestant (1869) and
held the office until 1877, when the town
was burned by the Turkish army,
his property was destroyed and he had
to flee for his life. The Russian-Turkish
war ended In 187. after which Mr.
Vlademlr returned to the spot where
his home had been and began life anew.
In 1SS6 he was able to send his son,
Theodore, to the Missionary school at
Samokov, where he graduated in 1S91.
Deterlned to have the advantage of a
higher education, young Theodore bor
rowed some money and started for New
York, arriving there with ten dollars
In his pocket. He went to Kingston
Pa., worked on a farm until school
opened, then entered the Wyoming sent
Inary and supported homself there for
the year. In the summer of 1,893 he was
called by the Bulgarian commissioner
to assist him at the World's Fair. Sep
tember, 1893, he entered the University
of Michigan, where he is now doing
good work as a student and supporting
himself by his lectures, etc. Pastors,
In whose churches he has spoken, speak
highly of him. He will return to Bui
garia and do mission work after his
education in America Is completed.

Mr. William Thornton, of 137 W. Market
Street, Explains How and
Why He Old It.
From the Elmlra Oazette.
Old age has many Infirmities, none of
which are more prevalent than kidney dis
orders. Have you ever noticed how the
old people complain of backache, lame
back, and general llstlessness? And there
are many other symptoms of which they
do not speak, such as bloating of the limbs,
painful and Infrequent urination or excess
iveness of the urinary discharge. Most
people think they are too old to find relief
and cure, but this Is not so. No better ev
idence than the following, which comes
from an Elmlra cttlsen, who has been
cured of a very severe case at 77 years of
age. Mr. William Thornton, of 127 West
Market street, speaks of his case In this
way: "I am 77 years old. I have been
afflicted with that dreadful complaint
(kidney disease) for over ten years, mak
ing my old age a burden. I was so bad as
to be forced to carry a belt at all times,
and, when my suffering became beyond
endurance, I would put on the belt, draw
ing It tightly around me and buckle It,
thus bringing an extreme pressure over
the kidneys; this, undoubtedly, forced the
urine out, a function which the kidneys
themselvea had become too diseased to
perform. 'My condition I put down to a
strain I received. I began taking Doan's
Kidney Pills. I waa much surprised, as
the aliment was so severe and so long
standing, while I had tried many remedlos
without any relief whatever. The' pain I
have experienced at times from straining
In my efforts to discharge the urine was
simply awful. I have done away with the
use of my leather belt, and the pain has
all gone, and I recommend Doan's Kidney
pills to all afflicted with kidney and
urinary disorders." .

THE STORY OF THE STAMPS.
The striking increase In the Issues r-f
postage atntnps and other stamped paper
by the Post Office department during the
fiscal year which closed on Juno 30 Is re
garded by the experts of the department
as one of the best Indications of the re
vival of business. The figures for the
entire fiscal yfar are $73.8S,598, as com
pared with r70.1H9.lnl In 1894; I72.3T.B.21S In
1K3, tfi7.3W.WJ In1892 and (62,559,75 Inl891.
The larger portion of the aggregate for
tho past year, moreover, and the greatest
percentage of gain are shown In the lust
two quarters, for which the total Isues ag
gregate 138,849,094 against 136,607,261 for
the corresiandlng quarters of 1894.
One of the striking facts of every re
port on postal sales is the much more
rapid Increase In postal buslnes than In
the population of the country. Trade,
Judged by these figures, develops with a
fixed population as wen as to Keep pace
with an Increased population. The aver-
ao-e gnln in. population In the United

Increased, In spite of a year of depreslon,
nearly twenty per cent, or an average of
more than three per cent, a year. The
Increase was much more rapid from 1891

rapid now that business has resumed

We do not hear of our enterprising board
of trsde taking any steps toward securing
the location In this city of the law school
which has been floating around In the
neighborhood of Scranton, looking for an
abiding place. We presume Scranton will
ultimately get It as she does everything
else that comes In this direction. With
the fine law library of th Bar association;
the large and well selected Osterhout Free
library; our beautiful city with Us many
public Institutions and excellent railroad
facilities ougt to be as desirable us
any city In the state for the location of
such an institution.

STOCKS AND BONDS.
' New York. July If. Wall street re
view The stock market today, aa on
previous days of the week, waa entirely
In the hands of the professional traders.
A well known broker said after the
board adjourned that in his opinion
fully 90 per cent, or the day' business
chould be credited to the room opera
tors. The professional traders, as of
late, paid most attention to the indus
trial group. In the cases ot Sugar and
Chicago Uas, covering appeared to be
the order of the day. Sugar rose 2H to
113 and made a net gain of 114 Per cent.
Chicago Gas declined to 51 and
then rose to 6352. The railway list
was dull almost to stagnation, but the
undertone was firm. The engagement
of $1,000,000 gold by W. II. Grossman
and Brother for shipment to Europe by
tine Kitrurla did not have the slightest
inlluunce on the maket. The explana
tion for the shipment, according to the
firm, Is that It Is cheaper to forward tho
gold than to buy bills at current rates.
A bullion firm will also forward $150,000
by th same vessel. Thla brings the
total shipments for the pant fortnight
up to $1,555,000. In 'the last hour a re
port that iholdi-rs of Reading Junior se
curities will be heavily assessed under
the proposed plan for the reorganiza
tion of the property led to a decline of
per cent, to 17V4. The preference in
comes old down to per cent. New
England, however, gained 1 per cent.
In the Industrials the rise was equal to
i&2?4 per cent. The total sales were
170,0:'5 thares. Including 62,1000 Ameri
can Sugar, 26.100 Chicago Gas, 16,800
Reading and 9,700 Leather.
