THIRTY MILLIONS IN LAND.-1n the
early part of August an article appeared
giving a statement of land claim
brought in New York 10y Mrs. Millar,
for the recovery of a large amount OF
patent land lying in Virginia, West
Virginia. Kentucky and in the city of
Philadelphia. These lands were pur-
chased from the State of Virginia by
John Young, a wealthy cracker and ar
my bread baker, between the years 1885
and 1912 He sustained heavy losses
aud eventually died insane, and his af-
fairs became much involved. For GER
tain family reasons patents to the
amount of 10000 acres, though regis
tered in various court houses, were kept
by son of John Youngs for many
wears locked up in box. Last summer
this gentlman, Ferdinand VI. Young, of
Baton Rouge, La, gave the documents
to his daughter, Mrs. MiIlar. She con-
suited Charles O'Conor, who gave ia
vorble opinion on the possibility of re-
covering very large amount of proper
tv. She then proceeded to Philadelphia
and consulted J. Wise Norton, EXami-
uer of Land Titles, and, after some cor
respondence, arrangements were made
with him TO investigate these land titles
in the Southern and Western States be-
fore named. Communications were
speedily established with distant rela-
tives. and yesterday meeting OF the
heirs and their representatives was held
in Philadelphia. 1t was decided that
Mrs. Millar should contest the suit, and
for that purpose her father, Ferdinand
NJ. Young, OF Baton Rouge, La, who
is now an octogenarian ard the only
living direct heir, transferred to her his
right and title to $4,000 acres. Mrs.
Millar's possession of this quit claim
deed has enabled her to bring suit in
New York, where she resides. The
deed was placed on record short time
ago, and several of the parties who are
now occupying the land have expressed
their willingness to compromise. She
will probably pursue the same policy as
Mrs. Gaines did in New Orleans, and
will use the money received from these
compromises to prosecute the other
claims. Mr.. Norton is now actively
engaged in the necessary Investigations
and securing of the Data, documents,
searches, maps, &c, to enable him to
bring suit at an early term OF the Uni
ted States Supreme Court He has made
anumber of important discoveries dur
ing his Investigations that will throw
considerable light upon this neglected
claim. The only heirs so far known are
Ferdinand NJ. Young, Baton Rouge
his daughter, Mrs. Millar; William Nash
Young, Frederick city, Md, and John
Ball, of Philadelphia. A valuable por-
ton of the claim consists of property in
the immediate vicinity of Washington
square Philadelphia, and also i'll Alex
andria, Va. Old John Young at the
time of his decease was one of the
wealthiest men in the South. The
money received he invaribly invested
in land; hence the large number OF acres
involved Portions of the Virginia
lands are now occupied by the Central
and bther coal companies. Portions of
the lands in West Virginia were sur
veyed by George Washington, to whose
wife, the ex-widow Gusts, John Young
was related by marriage

Help 10 Mothers Nursing infants

1t is conceded fact that mothers who
have the care, anxiety and draught OF
nursing infants are weak and need the
aid of some strengthening tonic 10 make
up the nourishment required for the
growth of the clild. Ale, porter, and Ia
ger beer have often been recommended.
OF late, since physicians have become
aware that the Port Grape Wine produced
by Alfred Speer, of Passaic, \ lis strictly
pure they have prescribed it instead OF ale
sought for by mothers who have nursing
infants at the breast, as the best supply
ing medium to be found. The wine is
rich in body and not intoxicating but
gently stimulating. Druggists generally
keep it, and sell it for dollar bottle

BLEMIsHEs UPON THE FEMININE CoCNTE-
NANCE, if of a cOmpleXional nature, speed
ilv vanish when GLENN SULPHUR SOAP
is used to obliterate them. Pimples, blotch-
cs, roughness, redness and tan are inva-
riably banished by this Incompatible
clarifying agent. Eruptive ailments, sores
cuts, bruises, scalds, and other affections
and injuries of the cuticle are likewise re-
moved by it. SULPHUR BATHS have long
been renowned as the best remedy for
skin diseases, rheumatism and govt.
GLENN's SULPHUR SOAP in every respect
as etiicaciouS, and far cheaper. By open
ing the pores, and promoting a vigorous
superficial circulation, this eXcellen; ar
ticle contributes to the health of the en-
tire system as well as to that Of the cutl-
Gle. Since its introduction to public no.
tice it has repeatedly been commended by
the medical profession and press, and few
external specifics have won such 'golden
opinions" among all classes. 1t prevents
obnoxious diseases as well as remedies
them, and disinfects clothing and linen
impregnated with disease. Ddndruit is
entirely eradicated by it, and its use is, on
that account, greatly to be desiderated by
persons whose hair is thinning out i'll
consequence of drynesS of the scalp.
Those who have used ointments and Ii
uuids without avail for the cure of erup-
tons of All obstinate character, will find,
if they try it, that GLESN's SULPHUR SOAP
removes scorbutic complaints irremedia-
bic by less eflicacious means, and prevents
the recurrence Of such disorders.

MAGNIFICENT SPECTACLE.-Ihe
most stupendous enterprise ever Or
ganized on this continent Is, with
out doubt, the Adam Forepaugh Com
bination of Menagerie, Museum, Cir

this famous establishment, Is adver-

time since. The article is taken from
the Daily Age, Of that city:
The stateliest pI occasion that ever graced
the city Of Philadelphia, passed down our
highways this morning. No Roman triumph
al entry, no victorious pagent OF the Caesars
can be comrayed with 1t. The glittering
banners, the many brilliant co!ors, the
many flaming flags and the gilded carving
and figures made our streets rich In gorgeous
huee. and won the admiration of oil be-
holders. 1t was indeed the paragon Of
parades--a scene Of unparelled grandeur.
IA scene where, II q god should cast his
sight,.
A god might gaze and wonder with delight.
A noble and magnificent specimen Of car
rage work led this spectacle--the golden
csr Of the muses. lowered high in the air
and glittered like FURNISHED throne, with
rich and symetrical gilded figures carved
from It's massive sideS, and occupied by
positive rarely on our streets-a most ex-
cellent cornet bahd. Long ere the chariot
hove In sight tho air Was Sled with clear
