one evening, several months ago, after he

brought in the mail that day. In it he read
a telegram from San Francisco, relating
the thrilling experience of one James Camp

Francisco, and held for a $50, 900 ransom
until his abductOrs were frightened into re-
leasing him. A picture of the millionaire

his history led the ranchman to suspect that
the millionaire was his brother.
He Immediately wrote him letter to as

passed, ard no answer came. One tiay "A
tramp stopped atthe ranchman's s house and
asked permission to rest there for a time.
He was taken in, given meal, and allowed
to remain. He proved to be a versatile con-
versationalist, and soon had Mr.. Camp
bell interested in him.
His host afterward recalled that the
visitor was rather inquisiuve, and that
he drew out of him much of the history
of his early life. Healso now remembered
that the fellow wore Iaundered cuffs and,
though his clothes We're rough, his shoes
were not of the style usually worn by
tramps. nes
Before the visitor departed he asked for
"a paper, and was given one that Il al Just

received a letter from the millionaire ac-
knowledging his relationship.

VIII ERE ARE THE FUNDS?
All Receipts of the Fanciulli Bene
fit Not Accounted For.

In view OF the proposition to repeat the
Fanciulli testimonial concert, 1t Is proper to
ask what became of the proceeds of the con-
cert given at Convention Hall last Wednes-
day evening.
Prof. Fanciulli is authority for the state
ment that although over 1 300 tickets
were actually sold, he has not received d
and other debts of the concert been paid
up to the present writing.
Thirteen hundred tickets represent cash
receipts OF at least $3.50. Whether any
ca sh contributions were made no one but
the guilelcss manager of the affair, Mr.
George r. kinnear, can properly explain
The several musicians who took part in the
concert donated their services and the
hall rent and advertising should not have
exceeded $500.
In asking for an accounting no charge
is made that the proceeds of the concert
have been misappropriated. Mr. Kinnear
may be strictly honorable, notwithstanding
his other failings: but, to say nothing OF
the needs of the beneficiary, Prof. Fanci-
ulli, there are certain creditors whose
claims should be paid.
Another reason why this financial mudtlle
should be cleared is the responsibility of a
committee of citizens, under whose auspices
the concert was given. These gentlemen
are morally responsible to the public for
the honest disbursement o { the funds Their
names are used as a guara mt V that the M an
agement OF the affair should be beyond
suspicion. Although nearly week has
elapsed since the date of the concert, only
a part of its bills have been liquidatel.
Before there is further talk of another
concert Mr.. kinnear should explain what
has become OF the money already entrusted
to his keeping. Also why none OF IL was
paid over To Prof. Fanciulli.
