"A Family Falls to Identity n Lost Child
After lie Is Washed.
Desplainos street station was the
scene of touching incident last night,
says the Chicago Globe, but ono that
had pleasant ending. About half past
nine o'clock an officer brought in little
urchin whose clothes were in rags, and
whose face was SO grimy that it was
difficult to distinguish him from pick
aniny. The lad was given in charge Of
Mrs. Price, the matron Of the station,
who began questioning tho boy. All
the information that could be gained
was that his name was Thomas Hen
bricks and that he came from far away.
Mrs. Prico washed the little follow,
clothed him in clean night-dress and
put him to bed. While this. was going
on family, consisting of father,
mother, three boys and ono girl were
upstairs unfolding tale of WOO and
trouble into the generous car of Desk
Sergeant Barber. They said that they
had come from New Jersey and had
walked most of tho way and had only
arrived in Chicago last night. They had
no money, and to wind up their tribula-
tions one Of their little boys had strayed
away and was lost. They gave the desk
sergeant description of tho lost child,
which the official easily recognized as
tho boy that was brought in short
time before. The tears of the unhappy
parents turned into Joy when informed
of tho fact that their child was safe and
sound asleep below.
They were taken down stairs, but
failed to recognize their own child as
lay, sweet and clean, fast asleep on the
white pillow. The boy had not been
bathcd since tho family left New Jersey,
and was consequently in very dirty
condition. In fact 50 much SO that when
the parents last saw him they ut
terly failed to recognize the child as
their own. They commenced sobbing
again, saying that it was not their
Thomas, and it was not until they were
shown the child's clothing that they be-
lievcd it to be their own. Joy once
moro reigned supreme.
Che real name of the family Is Rob-
rerts. The name of tho boy who was
taken in is Thomas Hendricks Roberts,
whilo a twin brother bears tho honored
title OF Grover Cleveland Roberts. An
other is a girl ten years old and two
boys aged eight and eleven years respect
lively. They are on their way to st.
Louis, where they have friends, and
seemed full Of grit, announcing their in
tention Of walking that distance.

TO EDUCATE NEGROES.
Eho Singular History of au Ex-slavo.
Holders Request.

Thc Singular History of nm Ex-slavo.
Holders Request
The State School Commissioners and
the Attorney-Gencral, writes an Atlanta
IGa.) correspondent, were in consulta-
ton the other day in regard to securing
Tor the purpose of negro education in
this State sum of money that has lain
In the Bank of England many years. It
: is legacy the history of which is very
singular.
az Archibald Mclean, Scotchman, was
n prosperous planter in Chatham early
in the present century. His estate was
known rs Gowrie, and on it he had
largo number of slaves. His family in
Scotland was strongly opposed to
slavery. After his death and the death
of his son and heir a certain interest in
the estate went TO his brother, John Nc
Lean. John Mclean died at Glasgow
July 0, 1886. leaving a will that directed
the application of half his interest in
his deceased brothers Georgia estate to
the education of the negro slaves there
or their offspring as soon as the laws OF
Georgia should permit tho education OF
the slaves. Four prominent Savannah
merchants were named as trus-
tees under the will, but declined
the trust on the ground that
the laws of Georgia prohibited
the education of slaves, and the beuuest
was therefore void. The sum involved
was little over 355 pounds. The heirs,
In view OF the legal condition OF the
legacy in Georgia, attempted to secure
the money, but the courts decided
against them. Accordingly the money
has been in charge of the Bank of Eng
land, and William Lloyd Garrison was
notified of the facts to tho end that when
circumstances might arise under which
the money could be applied according to
the terms of the will stops could BIO
taken for securing possession of it.
After the emancipation of all slaves in
this country son of Mr.. Garrison, who
had found among his fathers papers a
memorandum on the matter, called the
attention of the Georgia authorities to
the legacy. While tho Bank of Eng
land is anxious to pay over tho money
to whoever may be legally entitled TO re-
ce1vc IT, n letter to that effect having
Just been received by tho School Com
missioner Of Georgia, the difficulty is
that the negroes of the Gowrie planta-
ton have been scattered by tho war,
and There is no way OF finding their
heirs. Now tho question is whether tho
bcquest, which has been bearing inter
est since 1886, can be secured and de-
voted to the general education of tho

Twenty Million Stars in View.

Astronomers say that the fabulous
number of 100000 900 stars, all aglow.
can be seen with powerful microscope.
When we consider that the nearest of
these is 100000 times as far from us as
the sun, and that it would take from
three and half to twenty -one years for
the light which reaches us to cease if
they were extinguished, we cannot
grasp and hold the vast conception in
our minds. Yet it is supposed that each
of these is central sun, with its own
colony of planets circling round it,
which in size are vastly superior to those
of our own solar system, and are travel
ing through space with such speed that it
is impossible for us to comprehend it.
The star Sirius is said to be moving
fifty-four miles second, or 1914, 400
miles per hour, flaming mass, leading
its brood of planets through illimitable
space.-New York telegram

Gradual determination of Birds.

1t is not necessary to tell any one who
has any observation of the matter that
the past six or eight years has witnessed
so complete destruction of bird life in
this section as to amount almost to exter-
mination. Let any one who remembers
how our fields and forests ten or fifteen
years ago teemed with the American and
French mocking birds, thrushes, wrens,
jay and catbirds, woodpeckers, yellow
hammers, sparrows and the several game
birds, take note of how few may be seen
nowadays in the longest ride he may take
along our roads, or longest stroll amid
our woods. One cannot fail to see that
there are no birds compared to the num-
Der that existed dozen years ago. Truly,
the roads are lifeless, and the woods
are silent so far as the absence of birds
can make it so. A few years ago the
mania for making egg collections pre-
vailed among the boys from one end of the
country to the other; simultaneously with
this, fashion decreed that the thing to
do was to decorate the ladies' hats; and
between the two, what is the result2-
