THRIFT in ProdigaIity-H Is Now in
New York without Cent.
NEW YORK, March 26-For one man to
use up fortune Of 81, $50, 600 inside Of two
years purely in the pursuit of worldly
pleasures and pastimes seems course Of
such egreglious folly and reckless expendi-
ture as 10 be well nigh incredible. Yet
that is precisely what Mr. Alcide J. Yadoro
did if his story is TO be believed. He
reached New York in the steerage Of the
Cunard steamship Aurania last Monday,
and last evening he returned TO the barge
office. where he was landed, footsore ana
weary after a vain search for employment.
He Had More Than 81, 200, 600.
He displayed an official statement from
the branch house in Alexandria, Egypt, Of
the Credit Lyonnais. which bank handled
his funds until he depleted his account
The statement showed that on Sept. "a.
1889, his credit was good for e245, 900, or
more than 81. 100000 in round figures. This
did not include els0 900 dissipated during
his school days OF the fe45, 900 there is
now, as Nadoro declared, not cent left
except 10 worthless notes and drafts. Every
dollar he squandered in riotous extrava-
gance Nadoro adds interest to his amazing
story by declaring himself second cousin
to the present khedive Of Egypt.

Nadoro is a short, stocky built man,
with an abundance Of thick, black hair,
dark, regular features, brown eyes and a
Greclan nose His face does not show the
least sign Of dissipation. His language
stamped him as a person of education, and
he showed a thorough knowledge Of conti-
mental life

"On recovering ! returned 70 Paris and
resumed my studies there in 1886 In the
meantime. on July "a, 1885, my mother
had died, and l was left sole heir Of large
fortune, which was held in trust for me
by the Credit Lyonnais Of Paris. During
the ensuing four years three different
guardians were appointed, only one of
whom, DR. Crawford, became acquainted
with. One of the others helped to squan- |
