Mission Funds Taken With Keeper's Trousers
A midnight theft at the Golden Rule Mission on Broad Street saw keeper Charles A. Brown lose his trousers containing $10 to $15 and other monthly funds.

The incident comes amid a hard winter for the mission, hosting more homeless men than usual and limited revenue. Also noted is the death of Antony Siwak, a Polish laborer, who died at the mission after a year of illness, with charity covering burial expenses.
