SOLDIER WITH A HISTORY.
Ills Life Is Ebbing Away In the
fincknwnnnn Hospital.
There Is nn old poidler sick of pneu
monia nt the Lackawanna hospital who
was "tluough the wnt" in the pioprr
sense of the phruse His name is
Mlchnel McGuirc, nnd the Indications
are that lie will answer the Inst toll
call before many dajs. He was admit
ted to the hospital Fiiday nfternoon.
McGuiro la tin' putilaichnl-looklng
person villi long, white linlr nnd
board. Ho enmo to town tluee weeks
ago f 1 0111 the Soldiers' home In Uath,
N. Y., on ' a bit of .1 spiee," as ho put
it himself.
"I was in Elbby prison nnd nt the
battle of Gettysburg, and I got run
over by n. gun cnnlage nnd got shot,"
ho said to Dr. Webb, "but I think I
see my finish now."
Tho doctor told him to cheer up nnd
not lose heait, but he said he felt It
In I1I3 bones that he would soon Join
his comrades on tho otluB Hide. Ho
said he served all thiough tho war,
nnd made no unfounded assertion, for
he has his papois with lilm to sub
stantiate it. The pupeis ate almost as
dear to him as his life. He has them
In a pouch that ho wore next to his
body for many n day.
He claims to have been made a pris
oner in the early days of the' strife,
soon after the battle of Hull Hun nnd
wns confined In Libby piison. Af
ter plx months In that foul place he
escaped by overpowering his guard,
nnd taking his uniform. He was dis
covered before he got away by an
other guard, who took n kind-hearted
notion nnd let him go.
After ho lejolned tho Union forces
ho was run over by n gun carriage
and four libs on the right side were
fraetuted. He lecovered In time to
get Into tho battle of Gettysburg,
where ho lecelved a bullet in the right
gioln. He did not do any more fight

juries eiy plainly.
WANTDD FELDAUN TO RETURN.
Ilrllllnnt Story Has Concocted Willi

Mrs. D. Ke Id 111 an. of Ravmond court,
has been a very, very unhappy woman
since tho Thliteenth left for Mt. Grct

she adored and two chlldion who were
the sunthlnc of their little home. Felil
m.in was u member of the legimont
and whin It vns called out he went out
avilnst the lepeated, tearful protests
of his wife.
When tho muster day rolled around
nt aietnn he said "yes" and Is now n
regular member of the volunteer army,
to tho gieat gtlef of his wife. She con
sulted with ft lends ns to tho best way
of lecalllng her husband pnd one of
tin 111 thought out a brilliant scheme.
He toliginphed to Ecldrnhn that his
wife and children were starving- nnd
would continue to starve unless he re
tin nod to support them.
This was a painful surprise to Fold
man, who at once wrote to Isaac Stein
huig asking him to verify tho lnfotmu
tlon contained in tho telegram. Stein
burn vmis happily able to leply that
Mrs. Feldmnu is not staiing, but, on
tho contrary, is being ptnvidcd for by

Iliuhlt I'lensed With the Reception
They Received Here.
AU of the Knights of tho Golden
Eagle who were in the city attending
the meeting of the Grand Castle re
turned home Satuiday.
The meeting wns one of tho most im
poitnnt and business-like held by the
Grand Castle In years and tho visitors
were highly pleased with tho, recep
tion and entertainment nccoided them
In this city.
A .Man ho U ilred
Ml the time, owing to ImprjTlshed
blood, should take Hood's Sarsaparilla
to purify nnd enrich his blood and give
him vltullty and vigor.
This condition of weakness and lack
of energy is a natural consequence of
tho coming of warmer weather, which
finds tho system debilitated and tho
blood impure.
A good spring medicine Is a necessity
with almost everyone. Hood's Sarsa
parilla Is what tho millions tuke In the
spring. Its great power to puilfy nnd
enrich tho lilno nnd build up health
Is oiio of the facta of common experience.

YUAHS HAD MADIJ A LIVING HY
MDND1NO UMHIUJLLAH-HU WAS
KNOWN AS "PAUL KllUUGKIl" AND
YKAItS AGO IN GUUMANY WAS A
Ll'TlIUHAN MINlSTDIt.
Nine eois mote nnd Fiank Pllger,
who died at 8 o'clock yesterday morn
ing at the Lnckawnnnii hospital, would
hne tounded out n century. He wns
known us "Paul Kreuger" fiom a re
semblance to the president of the
Trnnsvnnl republic, nnd In his life there
were mnny Interesting Incidents.
For fifteen years he went from house
to house mending umbrellas, and ul
though It was said that he possessed
a good deal of money, his habits and
appearance belled It. He found times
hnrd very often, and went for days
without much to ent; not from choice,
but necessity. This was In his latter
years. Those who knew him when he
was many enrs younger say he was
not of the disposition to hoard money.
It wns his hooe that he would live
to be 101) ears old. He Was vigorous
enough until last summer. The heat
then oppressed him one day, and his
decline was rapid.
ItnCIUVHD AT HOSPITAL.
He was bi ought to tho Lackawanna
hospital a few months ago suffering
from an attnek of dropsy, and was le
cupeiatlng quite well, when he took
a notion one day to leave. He tried to
tesumo his trade, and his strength
gave way.
Poor Director Terppe sent him to the
Hillside Home. He wns too proud to
stay there, und, ns soon us he felt
strong enough to get out, he took his
departure nnd came back to the South
Side.
It was his stiength of will that sup
ported his tottering old frame and en
abled him to move about with his load
of years and Infirmity. Tho next heard
of him was Saturday, when Mr. Terppe
wns Informed the old man wns dying.
A cab was got and lit the evening Pll
ger was In ought to tho Lackuwanna
hospital. The stuff he was made of
was manifest In him then. He was on
the veiy brink of the grave, yet he
was conscious nnd wanted to walk. He
died twelve houis later.
He was mairied and has two sons,
It Is said, In Chnmbersburg, Virginia.
They left here twenty or thirty years
ago. His wife was dead befoie that.
Since the boys went away, they be
sought him mnny times to come and
live with them, but they could never
persuade him to do so. He preferred
to make his own living.
INJUKED IN GUUMANY.
When ho wns a young man he was
fond of hunting and was shot in the
leg one day while out with a party In
Germany. Tho accident disabled him
and he was lame as the lesult. As
long ns any one who knew him tan le
member ho went around mending um
brellas. Ho lived in a basement on
Alder street, opposite Natter's hotel, a
long time, and left it for a hovel farther
up the same street. The place looked
like u spider's nest with old frames
and coveilngs of umbrellas.
Ho used to say that ho was a Luth-
eran minister In the old country. Until
he got broken down completely he wns
in the habit of preaching on the street
corners, especially to children, not In
a loud voice but in a conversational
tone. His body Is at the hospital
morgue nwalting tho disposition of tho
poor boaid.

At the legulnr business meeting of

urday evening the following resolu
tions were adopted:
Whereas, Tho llnanco commltteo of tho
United States senate has eliminated from
thu war revenue bill tho provision for
saddling more bonds on our country.
Besolvcd, That wo most heartily com
mend their action nnd urgo tho senate
and houho of representatives to approve
of this, because such bonds would vir
tually bo mortgages on our own children
who are declnred to bo born free, nnd be
causo such cowardly and unmanly de
vices will produce the snmo condition of

Whereas, tho samo committee has mndo
provision In hald bill for Issuing J15.000,
M0 In greenbacks, to bo Issued directly by
our government, Instead of giving a few
bankers this privilege.
Besolvcd That wo npprove nnd com

nru willing to tnko our greenbacks,
whether foreign bankers will take them
or not, and betnuso that Increaso In our
currency will Increase business, nnd tlio

will Increaso tho wealth and gcneial wel

amount, similarly as It did after the last
war until part of tho greenbacks wero
withdrawn from cliculatlon and de
Ktrovcd. Bi'solved, That a copy of these resolu

The action of the Central Labor union
was approved piotestlng ngalnst giv
