Expects to Realize
ne of the most distressing cases that
have been brought to the attention of the
people of this town lor some time is that
of Mrs. Thomas Ciemmens, who was
yesterday taken by the authorities to the
insane department of the county alms
house. The woman at present appears to
be completely broken down In mind,
although her friends hope that after
proper treatment for a while she may be
restored to sound mind and Rood health,
Mrs. Clemtnen's case was first brought
to the attention of the public about two
weeks ago, when her four-month old
child died from congestion of the lungs.
The Herald gave publicity to the case
and Health Officer Miles, Chief Burgess
Burns and Poor Director Derr did what
they could to relieve the wants of the
family temporarily. At the same time
they notified friends of the family of the
condition of affairs.
The family consisted of the husband,
wife and three small boys, not counting
the child that died. The husband had
been out of work for two weeks Hnd the
last pay he received amounted to 6.50, of
which $4.50 had to be paid to the land
lord. The only food found in the house
when the officials visited it was a crust of
bread. Poor Director Derr furnished
some food and Undertaker O'Hara pre
pared the remains for burial. It was
then hoped that the friends of the family
would take some steps toward
- - yo but evidently did
not do so. The corpse of the child re'
mained in the house for two days, when
Mrs. Ciemmens called at the Council
chamber and pleaded for the Chief Bur
gess' aid. She said she feared the body
would be taken to the county burial
ground at Schuylkill Haven. The Bur
gess consulted with Poor Director Derr
and arrangements were made by which
the child was buried in a plot in the
Odd Fellows' cemetery owned by the
family. This was a source of great re-
lief' to the unfortunate woman, but
her trials had ravished her mind and it
commenceu to give way. ivouuuueu
want, and apparent indifference to her
I completely and yesterday her mind was
in such a condition that she became
violent. Chief Burgess Burns was called
tn nd he made amincements with Poor
Director Derr by which the unfortunate
victim was taken to the almshouse y ester
day afternoon. The husband Is now try
ing to provide for the children.
There is a problem presented with this
case, whkjh, for the sake of the general
welfare of humanity i ahpuld be solved at
once. People expected to take a charit
able stand in connection with the case
said, when appealed to, that they did not
feel Inclined to act. They said the woman
Jvaa evidently respectable and deserving,
but the husband was-n drinker and evi
dently- without! ambition. This woman
was driven to insanity by want ana lauua
16 receive, relief, because her husband was
nhworthy.. It certainty cannot be ex
pected that the charitably inclined people
shall,heln thq'sawiho.selll nQt help.them-
I selves; hlUin. this, case charity seems tp
have forgotten her name to some extent

As a number of people who bad charge
of the advance sale of tickets have not
made their reports it is Impossible to say

the committee expects to have at least
;250 at Its disposal.
The piano used at the concert was one
kindly loaned by J. R. Smith & Co., ot
Milton, who had the instrument sent
direct from the factor in New York. It
is a very fine instrument and, considering:
that it is toned to an International pitch,
and not Intended for concerts, wan very
satisfactory to the ladies upon whom
made use, of it.
The committee will proceed ,to make
arrangements for distributions at the
earliest possible date, and to that end the
general committee will meet at Dr.
