Patriot Louis Eossuth,

A recent visitor to the venerable Louis
Kossuth, the great Hungarian patriot, states
that the reports as to his health are entirely
unfounded. Although born in 1901, and hav-
ing gone through experiences which would
have long since cost the life of any ordinary
man, Kossuth is still in the full possession of
all his faculties, is in robust health keeps well
informed upon the current topics and events
of the day, and is in every respect one Of the
grandest old men of the period.-San Fran
