There was taken to the county poor
house in Camden, " j., few days

been the foremost American Claim

which has been vi-rlo tsly estim ated at

In pursuit of this estate Isaac Jennings
expenl ei all the profits Of his busi-
ness until that business ceased to be
profitable. Then his savings went in
the same way, and at last the poor
house became his home. He was the
first President of the Jennens Heirs
Association, and we are told that he
never lost his faith in the Justice Of
his claim and the existence of the
property. Even now ''his belief is
unshaken that the millions held by
the English Court Of Chanccry will
eventually be brought to this coun-
try and distribute among the heirs"
But there is abundant proof that the
English Court OF Oh ,ncery holds no
millions Of "thc Jcnnans estate for
distribution at any time, AMI if this
claimant and those associated with
him had t,ken the trouble to becoms

PODulist Congressman Howard's Terrible
Book, ''If Christ Came to Congress"
WAsHINGToN. Dec 6=M W. Howard
the only Populist congressman from
Alabama, is likely to be completely Os-
tracized when he comes to Washington,
on account OF his book, III Christ Game
to Congress-" This book has been de-
MED the use Of the mails because of its
scurrility, obscenity ard general bad
ness. The book was supposed to reflect
light on the city of Washington. 1t is
made up largely of libels, the gossip of
disorderly houses, and inane denuncia-
ton of existing conditions.
Speaking mildly the book is not fit to
be read by any decent person, except as
a study Of the depraved taste Of the au-
thor. The president, the members Of
the cabinet both houses of congress, the
women of Washington, are ruthlessly
assaned.
Mt. Cleveland Is accused in this book
of speculation, peculation and dishOn
esty.
The secretary of the treasury has been
accused of almost all the crimes in the
calendar
In one of the illustrations in the book
he has picture of Tom Reed standing
up TO the bar in the restaurant Of the
house of representatives and engaged in
the act of drinking whisky On the
whole, it might be said that there was

his book, and that he was entirely
