Rich Beggars.
Berlin, Nov. 9,
Au eminent medical practitioner in Berlin whose fees for well-to-do people are high, but who gives two hours gratis daily to the poor, has been victimised on a somewhat extensive scale. Under his apartments is a shoemaker’s shop in which well-dressed people have been in tho habit of changing their clothes for tho rags of the beggar. As beggars they present themselves and their complaints to tho ominont physiciaD, who prescribes for them free. The shoemaker’s wife did a flourishing business until by accident the physician discovered the fraud and set the polico to work.
