Mgr. Merry Del Val, private cham
berlain to Pope Leo XIII, writes to the
London Standard denying the widely
published statement that book written
by the pope when he was Cardinal Peccl
was placed ON the Index Expuragtorius
by Plus TX, where it now is. He says
that the book in question, treatise ad-
vocatlng devotion to the blood of the
Virgin Mary, was written by the Kew.

Russian Sable.

Russian sable owes its warmth aud
gloss to the fact that the longer hairs,
as we'll as the under fur, are absolutely
uniform in size and "section. " Thus,
the sable tail makes perfectly proper
toned natural pendant to the skin when
used as a cape, and the whole skin has
the unity of manufactured fabric, with
the other qualities only found in natural
fur. This pre- eminence of sable fur gives
it a value in the most minute quantities.
The longer hairs, or surplus pieces of
the fur. are carefully saved and made
into the best paint brushes, which al
ways keep point" and in the color
mems catalogues the price of these
brushes is only approximately fixed and
varies according to the price of sables.
Sealskin and beaver fur are not only
softer, but warmer than any of the furs
which, at first sight, seem to approach
them closely in color and texture. Hare
skin can be clipped and dyed so as to re-
semble sealskin, but even if lined with
wool it does not approach the pelagie
fur in warmth or in luster. The wonder
full fineness of the under fur of the seal
causes it to hold minute quantities Of
air in the infinitely small interstices be-
tween the hairs, and while the air in
closed is warmed by contact with the
body the fur is a nonconductor TO the
cold from without. London Spectator.

the country, having been organized in
1893. Zion's Advocate declares that the
church has not had pastor for many
years, but its members have regularly

which offer themselves TO the member
ship of this organization, the one mem

CLAIMS THE CHILD.
Little One Found Dying in an
Alley Identified.
FOLKS WELL KNOWN IOWA PEOPLE.

Infant which b Alleged to Have Been
Spirited Away By Cruel Conspirators
Traced to tho Home o. Poormaster Lid
ders Who Had Adopted 1t.
Developments have come to light
during the past week which bid fair
to solve the mysterious and atrocious
circumstances enshrouding the find
ing Of dying infant in al alley be-
tween Eighteenth and Nineteenth
streets one cold night last December.
The little one has been ident flied as
the offspring of we'll known couple
who reside in an Iowa town. An
attempt is being made to have the
child returned, but Mr.. and Mrs. j.
II. Lidders, who have since adopted
it, refuse to counteaance such a pro-
position and say they will carry the
matter into the courts.
1t will be remembered that on the
night of Dec. Ii last, shortly after 10
o'clock, people living in the neigh
borhood of Eighteenth street and
Fifth avenue were attracted by the
faint cries of child. A searching
party was organized and the infant
was found lying in the snow near q
shed on DR.. E. M. Sala's premises at
1877 Fifth avenue. 1t was nearly
persisted from exposure, being clad
in white lace bonnet and n white
cotton flannel wrapper. Good care
soon brought the child around all
right. Every effort was pursued in
the hopes of experimenting the par
ents and parties to the cruel affair.
This proving fruitless and no suitable
home being found for the child, after
. month it was adopted by Poormas-
ter and Mrs. j. H. ladders, who
christened the little one Irene Lid
ders. They have become very much
attached to the child.
Detective APPEARS.
Last week Mr.. ladders was visited
by gentleman representing himself
as a private detective and a relative
of the woman whom he claims is the
mother of the child, which he iden-
titled. 1t is claimed that the child's
parents, who were married five years
ago and who have another son q
years OF age, separated several
months ago, the wife going to an.
other town and taking up her abode
with her mother. The infant was
spirited away by two women. one OF
whom it is alleged is a relative oil
the mother, and left in the Rock ISL
and alley with the supposition that
it would be found and cared for
The direct object in kidnapping the
infaut. the gentleman refuses to dis.
close. He has been searching sur.
rounding cities for three months and
is much relieved in locating the
child. He promises to produce the
documents necessary to authenti,

STEEGAR'S FORTUNE,

Pleasant Prospects.

A Mechanic Comes to Rock Island With
Pleasant Prospects.
Frank Stcegar arrived in Rock ISL
and last evening from St. Louis ex-
pecting to make this city his home
for time. Mr.. Steegar, who is a
machinist by trade, is just now quite
jubilaut over what he hopes is for
tune of no small proportion in store
for him. A few days ago while in
St. Louis he accidentally ran across
an old issue of the St. Louis Chron-
icle bearing date of Feb. 5, in which
he discovered much to his surprise
that by the death of New York
state millionaire his vast fortune
amounting to over $4,000, 900
is left to the Van Winkie fam
lily, of Wayne county, in
that state. AS Mr.. Steegar belongs
right in that family he is naturally
anxiously awaiting the news that
will put him on the shady side OF
easy street. Thirteen years ago
young Steegar left his home at
Williamson, N. Y, to hustle for him
self. Since that time he has heard
but little from his family. His
father, he says, is travelling for the
Deering Harvester company. If
what he thinks is his good fortune
PROVES true Mr.. Steegar says he
knows where he can place large
lump OF the long green to q good
advantage at once.

THE WILL is uNEARTHED.
Final restame emit Of Mrs.. Hannah Thornton
Produced.

Final Testament Of Mrs. Hannah Thornton
Produced.
One incident in the peculiar cir
cumstauces surrounding the affairs
of the late Mrs. Hannah Thornton
was explained in the unearthing last
evening by Attorney William Nc
Entry of the will supposed to have
been lost or stolen. The document
was found stored away among a
whole lot of other papers in Mr.. Nc
Eniry's Office and was placed in the
hands OF Judge Lucian Adams in the
county court today.
The will was drafted in June. 1924,
and Peter Curnyn. Sr., is named as
executor of Mrs. Thornton's estate.
The requests include 500 to St. Jo-
seph's parochial school and $50 to
Rev. Thomas Nackin for masses, and
the remainder of the testator's posses
sions are left to her sister, Mrs. Mary
Patton, Eand niece, Mrs. Ecklund,
both of Philadelphia.
In a previous will made in Novem-
Der, 1898, Mrs. Thornton beQueathed
all of her property to two nephews,
the Messrs. Patton. of Philadelphia
who were here the other day looking
into the matter. But the will flied
in the county court today gives them
nothing.
How the last will became lost
sight of is unknown. When it wa:
made Mr.. Curnvn brought it to the
office of William McEuiry, who at.
tended to his legal affairs, and it i!
supposed forgot all about it. Mr.
Nc Entry was away when Mrs. Thorn
ton died. He was asked about the
will by Judge Adams and last even
ing he succeeded in finding it.
But no money has been found yet
and hence the will does not cut 81
much of figure after all.

/ have heard a great deal here, but
the meaning of N all is that Bryan Is
even now, and before he makes the
great trip through the state for which
he is booked next week, certain of
carrying Michigan. The great change
is among the republicans. Lenawee
county has had republican majority
OF from 200 10 l.000 This year the
lowest estimate / got Of Bryan's ma.
jority was 100, and from that 1t ranges
to 700 and 1000.
And so II is with Hillsdale, the ad-
joining county, which Is the banner re-
publican county of the state, where
the republicans had some 5000 major

give the specific facts and detailed in
formation which suffice to prove 10 me
that these expectations are not un-
reasonable. But here are some facts,

the republican ranks that is now go-
ing on in what were republican strong

| believed him a free silver man. His
nomination would have been enthus-
| iastlcally received and he would have
had an enormous vote, but for the gold
| platform, which preccde the nomina-
| tion. This fell upon the hopes and ex-
! pectations OF his adm rers like a wet
| blanket. so much so that no ratifica-
/, ton meeting was held. nor has one
| yet been held. and the great bodies Of
those who had looked forward to sup

And the same change on the other

admirers OF the man would even have

the club were crammed to their utmost
capacity. many fashionable sports be-
ing among the spectators The optn-
ion among Johnny Murphy's friends
was very general that he had cut out

was a hot favorite at the odds of TO

Il was easy to be seen that both had
paid strict attention to training and
Il wac also plain to sports that they

Palmer meant to take no chances.
but to win on points. At no stage Of
the 20 rounds did he attempt a knock
out. He punished the American boy
very little. and In fact there was little
bloodshed Palmer. however. always
had the fight In hand and at no stage
was Murphy dangerous.
The Londoner depended mainly on
his left hand. The glove was seldom
out OF his rivals face and scarcely
more than a dozen right-handed cross
counters were exchanged. The major
portion OF these were delivered by Mur-
ply, but he was unable to get near
enough to do any damage. Palmers
right handlers were OF the lightest pos
sible kind. The affair was voted very
tame. the only redeemlng feature being
Palmer's cleverness and Murphys
gameness. There was very little ap-
plause at the finish, and In fact the
fight had been so one-sided that IL was
a relief to see II ended.
