THE Canadians are finding out that
the same means which will enable q
defaulter to escape from his creditors
in the United States by a fight across
the border will also assist Canadian
rogue to cheat his creditors at home,
and one or two recent instances of the
latter performance have raised quite a
breeze in Canadian commercial circles.
A cry is set up for the revision OF the
extradition treaty, and both sides be-
ing willing, there is chance that some
step in this direction will be taken.

Starved Though Rich.

The fact was brought to public notice at
Chicago, on the 18th. that in little hovel
on the prairie near Thirty-frst Street and
Western Avenue, was the dead body of a
woman prepared for burial, and in the next
room the daughter OF this woman, dying
from the same causes that killed her moth

woman was the wife and the dying woman
is the daughter of Patrick Flaherty, labor.
er. He has not dollar which he can call his
own, though the supreme court OF Illinois
has said that he has good title to property
in Chicago worth over $4,000. After eight
years litigation between Flaherty and a
wealthy resident of Chicago, now dead, the
question of the ownership of the land
reached the supreme court, where decision
was rendered in favor of Flaherty in Sep
TENDER last. But the heirs OF Flaherty's
opponent transferred the claim to resi-
dent of New York, who then sued for pos
session of the property in the United States
court at Chicago. This case is now pending
and will be reached in about two years.
Flaherty is too old to work. Attorneys
acting for Flaherty have brought suit
against the heirs in question for $4,000
damages for vexatious litigation
