city of Reading. Until his death he
made living by collecting and SELL

him short time before his death, while
he was q witness in lawsuit.
He was married first in 1910. In
eight years his wife bore him seven
teen children. The first and second
years of their marriage she gave birth
to twins. For four successive years
afterward she gave birth to triplets
In the seventh year she gave birth to
one child and died soon afterward.
Heffner engaged woman to look aft
or his large brood of babies and in three
months she became the second Mrs.
Heffner. She presented her husband
with two children in the first two years
of her welded life. Five years later
she had added ten more TO the family,
haviag twins five times. Then for
three years she added one year.

was run down by locomotive and in
stantly killed. His widow and twenty
four of the forty-two children are still
living. most of them in Reading. They

Blaine Notices a Portion of Rudini's
Communication to Imperiali.
WASHINGTON, HAY !. - Secretary
Blaine has sent cablegram to Minister
Porter at Rome, touching the portion
of Rudini's note to Imperiall, which
accuses Mr.. Blaine of using publicly
correspondence which was intended to
be private Mr.. Blaine quotes the para
graph complained of that which con-
tanned the demand of Italy for punish
ment of the mob and indemnity to
Italian families, and concludes the
cablegram as follows:
The intimation of the Marquis Rudini
that tue telegram in question was de-
hvered in strict confidence is total
error. AS the telegram expressed the
demand of the italian government, it
was impossible that Marquis Rudini
could transmit it in strict confidence.
AS I have already stated, it was COM
municated to me in person by Baron
Fava, written in English by his OWN
handwriting, without a suggestion of
privacy and that the telegram itself has
not single mark upon it denoting a
confidential character. have caused q
number of copies of the telegram to be
forwarded to you in fac simile. The
usual mark for Italic printing was used
by me under four lines and they appear
in the copies. You will use the fac
simile in such manner as will most
effectually prove the error into which
the Marquis Rudini has fallen"
