promised 10 make six speeches In ONO, OF

THE EDWARDS CLAIM.
Three weeks ago TIE TINES printed q re-
port of the meeting at King William, Va,
of the heirs 10 the estate of Robert Edwards,
who is supposed 20 have left title T. Broad
way property here valued at many millions.
The report of similar meeting comes to-day
from New Orleans, but the New York cor
poration cOunsels office'places little credence
in the reports that suit is to be brought
against the city for the value of land said TO
have been leased ninety-nine years ago by
Robert Edwards to the city OF New. York.
The clerks in the Registers Office looked weary
to-day when the subject of the Robert Ed
wards claim was mentioned.
NO BASIS FOR THE STORY.
They said that there was absolutely no
Aae, g. ha INIT bo b0o raf oil
over the country, and every little while the
Register gets letters of inquiry, There never
was any such ninety nine-year lease as men,
toned, and which is supposed to have lust
expired. nor is there any such Robert Ed
wards in the records. The case is like that of
the "Anneke Jams estate, and the claim is
of value only 10 lawyers who are able to i'm
pose upon deluded claimants. The city holds
no property by lease on Broadway, and Broad
way itself and all streets adjacent are of
course public property, and always have been.
Any land used for . thoroughfare for twenty
years becomes public property.
THE HIRscH FUND INADEQUATE.
1t has been generally supposed that the
Hebrew associations of New York organized
for the purpose of afording assistance TO
Russian Immigrants expatriated from their
homes by the Gar would be able to meet
most of the existing contingencies. butt seems
that they are ALREADY encOuntering serious

Cardinal Taschereau and brother of the

Hospital this morning. He came 10 New

yesterday. In the morning Small addressed
q thousand persons in the auditorium, and in
the afternoon 900 men and women listened
20 the two eIhorters. Dir. Small's morning
address was d sermon on the text. When He,
the Spirit of Truth ID Come He Will GUIDE
You unto all Truth" 1t didn't excite as
much interest as his efforts usually do. He
made up for his tameness in the afternoon.
The morning address went TO show that only
ProhibitiOnists were travelling toward truth.
At o'clock. when Chairman Funk intro
duced Mr.. Cook, about half the seats in the
auditorium were occupied. Church Part
nership IN the Liquor Business was his SUBJ
Ject. He said that if the 100000 church
members who are voters 900 900 of whom
are Catholics. worked together they could
easily outlaw the liquor traffic
Chairman Funk remarked that Sam Small |
was to say amen 10 Mr.. Cook The Atlanta
evangelist did more than that, though. He
danced about the platform and said things |
that made every one even himself, roar
RETURN OF PAUPER HEBREWS. =
Twenty eight Russian Hebrew immigrants |
have been debarred from landing at the port |
of Boston, and thirty-one have been debarred |
at the port of New York on the ground that |
they were penniless and helpless This action |
Is in accordance with that clause of the i'm |
migration law which provides for the debar-
ring of all persons likely TO become a public |
charge" and which has been enforced since
last April in a large number of cases and
against pauper immigrants of several races
from various countries. II has not, until the
past week, been enforced against any of the
Hebrew immigrants; for, although many Of
them have been ID sorry plight Hebrew So
cietles have offered to take care Of those who
needed it. and have promised that they should
not become public charges. In the case in
which these societies fail to perform this ser
vice. the law takes its course as in the cases of
other people. The calls upon the Hebrew So

than ever they were in any past year on ac-
