WHO KNOWS THIS
WARD OF THE POLICE?
THE POLIOS TAKE AN INTER
EST IN HIM.
REFUSES TO GIVE INFORMATION
Ho is Young and Apparently
Well Trained and Educated.
Says ha is an Orphan and
Homeless.
OLIOEMAN Davis
has at his houo a
twelve-yearold boy
who refuted to tell
whore ho camo from,
or whore hi friends
live. Tho officer ar
rested the boy for
vagrancy, having found him wandoring
about the streets at a late hour Monday
night. Since be bas been living with tho
chief the boy has behaved himself ad
mirably and considerable interest is taken
in him.
Efforts are now being made to establish
the boy's identity. He says his name is
John O'ltourko and that his ago is as given
at the beginning of this article, but he
steadfastly refutes to give the names of any
ot his friends, or give any clue as to their
whereabouts.
By close questioning the police have in
duced tho boy to say that ho lived in Mah
anoy City about a year ago and that his
father and mother are dead. Ho gave the
names of the Roman Catholic priest and a
school teacher of Mahanoy City and said
be knew thorn well.
Chief Burgess Smith went to Mahanoy
City to-day to see if ho could confirm tho
story.
In addition to bis good behavior the boy
gives evidence of good education. While
bis out garments sbow signs ol bard wear
his linen is comparatively clean and quite
in contrast with that usually worn by
tramps.
Tho Chief Burgees and police bolieve
that he has either run 'away from a re
spectable home, or Jhas deserted Borne re
formatory or other like institution.

The Philadelphia and Beading Bailroad
Company has inaugurated a piece of work
at tho passenger depot that will bo highly
appreciated by the patrons of tho placo.
Workmen yesterday started to lowor the
platform, Ileretoforo this platform has
caused great inconveniohco and bas been
considered a menaco to tho safety of tho
public. Tho steps at the north end and the
incline at tho south to the lower platform
made travel dangerous on dark nights and
tho hoigbth above the rails where the
trains stopped made it necessary lor pas
sengers to travel to the ends of tho plat
form before they could cross the tracks and
get on the east bound trains. The platform
will be lowered all arouni the depot and
will be extended about twonty feet at tho
north end to make more room for waiting
passengers.
Millions of bottles of the genuine "An

SOILED DOVES CAGED.
Captured by the Town Police ou the
Street Last Night.
Two notorious young women namod
Lizzie Miles and Katio ICeolor were
arrested laft night by the town police for
drunkenness and disorderly conduct. The
pair are two soilod doves recently releaod
from the Pottsvillo jail. One of Ikem
came hero to keep house for a widower and
brought tho other along as company.
Whon placed in the lockup tho women
cureod each other and had qulto a lively
tongue battlo until exhaustion threw them
into a slumbnr.
This morning Chief Burgeis Smith gave
tho offenders a hearing. They wore a Bor
row looking pair. Both fell upon their
knees before the Burgess and begged him
not to send them to the Pollsvillo jiil. Any
place but that, they said, would be suitable.
The Burgoss kept them on plna and
needles for a while and after exacting a
promise from each that they would behave
themselves if kept in the lockup hero, he
gave them the option of paying a fine of $u
each, or remaining in the lockup for five
day 8.
"Will you keep us "here?" asked tho
soiled doves in eager chorus.
The Burgess caid he would. The women
gave a shout of joy and leaped into the air.
"O, good, kind, Mr. Smith," said one of
them.
Tho Burgess then put them at work
cloaniug the lockup and they went at it as
if their froedom and a day's wagps de
pended upon it. The women aro about 27
years of ago.

EARNEST APPEAL OF HUMANITY
A Few Drops of Water Adven
tures of a youne Hopeful
Who Was Sent to a Town
to Recuperate.
HE Herald's article
on the Inhuman treat
ment of Trofil Krol
jinski, the Pole who
v-as Injured at Knick
erbocker colliery on
Monday and died at
tho Minors' Hospital
in tbo evening, has
arousod greater Indig
nation than was reported, and any reason
able citizen will admit that there is cause
for Indignation, If wo were in some bar
barous land Kroljlnski's case might piss
unnoticed, but as people wilt look dpon an
injured brute with compassion it is quite
natural that they should become indignant
when they hear of the Inhuman neglect
that this unfortunate man suffered. The
Herald is right when it advocates a sys
tem by which speedy relief may be afforded
tho victims at collieries. True, tho mining
officials havo furnished ambulances to con
vey the unfortunates to. their homes and
the hospital, but ah ambulance Is only a
secondary consideration In a case ltko that
of Kroijinski's. Had tho office of tbo col
liery at which be was employed been sup
plied with a box of appliances and brief in
slructions for their mo, as provided by the
"First Aid ts. Injured" societies the victim
might havo had his mangled limb
treated in such a manner as to afford
relief until his arrival at the Miners'
Hospital. Kroljlnski suffered for an hour
and fifty minutes before ho received any
medical attendance. It was' natural that
be should die. Nature has endowed very
few men with endurance to successfully
pass through such an ordeal. While I
endorse the Herald's first aid to tho
injured Idea I would go a little farther and
suggest that the mine officials make some
arrangomont by which a physician may be
summoned at once to a colliery when Borne
unfortunate is badly Injured and prompt
assistance may save his life. In the name
of humanity something of this kind should
be done.
The local correspondent to the Tr'x
Weekly Record writes: "Many bitter
complaints are hoard here about the ao
coramodations enjoyed by those who vis'
ited tbo musical festival at East Mahanoy
Junction this year."
It is a mystery to me how people who
enjoy accommodations can mako bitter
complaints about them.

Contractor Gates, of Harrisburg, has
done excellent work on the White street
Bchool building, The School Board com
mittee Is so well satisfied that it haa had
the school furniture moved back into the
building and tho rooms are being put in
readiness for tho opening of the school
term. And so the White ttreot school
building Is caved, Instead of being
obliged to expend $10,000 for a new school
building in that section the board Is only
obliged to pay Mr. Gates ?1,200 for taking
out tho dangerous foundation walls of the
structure and replacing them with walls of
first class matorial. But for the timely
suggestion of Wilbur F. Sadler, Jr., tho
prosont structure would In all probability
have boen torn down weeks ago.

A fond mother recently sent her small
boy from town to a farm near Berwick that
he might recuperate before the opening of
the school term. After a week of anxiety
the mother received the following letter
from her beloved:
Dear, Mom I got here all right and I forgot
to write before, it Is a very nice place to have

A MYSTERY SOLVED.
A Story llelatlng to the Death of Jaine
Elsenhower.
On the llt.h ot May, last, the Herald
gave an account of the death of James,
the sixteen-year old son of Washington
Eisenhower, of East Line street. The boy
died on the 10th and bis parents were un
able to account for the misfortune. The
doctor who had charge of the caso camo to
the conclusion, after questioning the
parents, that it was a caso of sunstroke.
The parents said that after watching the
street parade of Foropaugh's circus In
town, which took place on May .9th, the
boy complained of being ill. As that day
was quite warm the conclusion that it was a
case of sunstroke seemed justifiable.
A Herald reporter has just succeeded
in gleaning factB that seem to fix the true
cause of the boy's death, Forepaugh's
circus arrivod in town and pitched tents in
the trotting park on Sunday, May 8th.
Among the visitors to tho grounds during
the day was young Eisenbowor, who, in
some manner that is not explained, received
a kick on tho head from oneof the donkeyi
in tho stable,
Tbo people who toll this story are resi
dents of Ellengowan. They say that after
tbe boy was kicked - soma of the circus,
people worked about an hour and a half
beforo tbey restored him to consciousness.
Eisenhower remained upon the grounds
until he was able to walk home. Ho made
no complaint to his parents until be was
taken ill on Monday morning, after the
parade, and then be said nothing of what
had happened the day before.
This story cropped while the case of a
young man who was kicked by a mule In
the mines was being talked over a few
days ago.

A lSase itall Ileply.
Editor Hkrald : In reference to tho
articles in last evening's ue of tho Hkr
ald, signed Michael J. Heffroq, negarding
the dissatisfied playors, it dos not explain
where tho dissatisfaction comes in1. The
facts are these: Mr. Ueffron wants to bo
manager. Mr. Hefiron want to b presi
dent. Mr. Hefiron wbdIs to be secretary.
And last, but not least, Mr. Hefiron wants
to bo treasurer. Now the dissatisfied
players want a manager who understands
how to ruu a base ball team, and also wants,
a president, secretary and treasurer ap
pointed separately, so that the team can be
managed in a business like way and
havo no one man control all those of
fices as the "great I am." There
is good material in Shenandoah if it had
proper management; and, to sbow Mr.
Hefiron we mean business, we hereby
challenge his team for a irame & nnnn a
possibln for the gate receipts, a guarantee,
or a purso.
