Millions Spent Over the America's Cup

If the America's cup were melted down and sold for old silver today it would prob ably not be worth more than $S5 at the market price of silver. Its original cost as an alleged work of art on the part of the silversmith who made it was 100 guineas, or in American money, about $525. New ertheless this supremely ugly piece of sil- verware has cost at least $2, 900, 900 to the two great English speaking nations, which have for half a century striven with each other on the high seas for its possession. It is easy to count up how the United States has spent directly 5000, 900 to keep the cup on this side. The British havo spent much more to get possession of it.. Tho expense of the British has been great CT because they have been under the neces- sity of building their boats on the other side, trying them on the other side, send ing them over here and taking them back again. The New York Press says it is safe to say that the English, in trying to regain the cup, have spent considerably over $1, O00 GOO,

The discovery that the back hid certain

SHE is NOW AN HEIREss.
a Quaker City Girl Gets "A Fortune OF
S15,OOO,OOO.
From the washington Pos


From the Washington Post.
Philadelphia, Nov. 19-A remarkable
romance in real life has come to light by
the sudden and unexpected inheritance of
a fortune of $15,OOOOO0 by the twenty-five
year-eld daughter of a poor gardener
William Kelly. who lives at 1888 Latona
street, this city. Elizabeth Kelly, the
heiress, and her father, confirmed the
story tonight. The legacy comes from
the estate of a long-dead uncle, Peter
Kelly, who amassed vast fortune in the
Australian gold fields over thirty years
ago.
Peter Kelly was living with his parents
in Lancashire, England. when the Aus
tralian gold craze broke out, and he went
to that land to make his fortune Moth
ing was heard of him for many years,
until one day, nearly a quarter of CEN
fury ago, his mother received word that
he would soon return home millionaire
He did not come, however, but after some
months a deaf mute, who had been a
passenger with Peter on the vessel bound
for England, appeared and told of a vio-
lent storm at sea, in which number Of
passengers, including Peter Kelly, mad
been drowned.
Inquiry was begun, and the sons story
of his millions was verified, part of the
money being in Australian banks. He
had never been married, and had no rela-
tives in Australia. The family received
the interest on the fortune, which was
valued at S15,000,0O0.
Some time after Peters death the story
goes, his brother William, who had come
TO America before Peters departure for
Australia, learned of the existence of a
will, in which all the estate. was be
queathed to his, Williams, eldest child
Elizabeth. Williams wages were enough
for the support of his family, and it is
authoritatively asserted that when he
first learned of this vast estate he made
no effort to secure it for his then infant
daughter.
Two years ago. however, he engaged an
attorney, and 1t is declared that the enor-
nous legacy will be placed at the disposal
of the girl this week.
While at first reticent concerning the
story Mr.. Kelly and his daughter finally
admitted that it was true, the girl adding
in a nonchalent manner: why, there is
nothing extraordinary in 49, O00O0. Peo-
pie have had S40,000,000 left them by
wealthy relatives"
