Mrs. Helen S. Grenfell, state superintend-

~fifty-six counties, which she is expected TO

The latest rumor in regard to the presi-
dency of Yale is that a majority of the mem

Yale in 1863. In 1898 he was called TO Yale
as professor of Greek.
Study OF the English language, as might
be supposed, is rapidly growing in foreign
countries. A Denver man just returned
from Mexico reports that English is taught
in the public schools Of most OF the largest
cities. In Guadalajara the children were
provided with both Spanish and English

English, while We could not return the
compliment by saying a single word TO the

be a cosmopolite in these times without q
knowledge OF English.
John Simmons OF Boston, who died about
twenty-five years ago, left a large fortune

HEIR TO TWENTY MILLIONS.
Good Fortune of n Boston Boy Who
Works in a Printing Office.

William Warren Morrison, a lad OF Il,
slender in build, light OF hair and evidently
with anything but a mercurial disposition,
works in a printing Office in Boston. The
boy has received direct Information from
California that he is heir to something like
$40, 600, 600, be the amount a trife more or
less. He knew about this one afternoon
and the next morning found him at work,
clothed in his right mind. He trotted
around with proofs, answered the telephone,
ran errands and performed the various
duties Of the printers devil Just the same
rs usual. If he was disturbed at all, re-
lates the Boston Globe, it was over some
thing entirely different from what might be
expected in a person who had reason TO be-
lieve that $40, 900, 900 was possibly within his
grasp.
Take this letter over to so-and-so," said
the boss to the boy who was leaning on
the stair railing talking to a reporter about
his antecedents.
So William Warren Morrison tramped up
another fight for his coat and hat and
clattered down again while the reporter
waited.
Gee" exclaimed William, with perfect
seriousness when the sidewalk was reached.

than falling heir to $50, 900, 600.
The story is that young Morrison's great
uncle, Frank A. Mouritzen, one OF the
wealthiest residents Of California and the
owner Of vast estates in Denmark, has died
and left the bulk OF his property TO his
Youngest granddaughter, the son Of the late
John Peter Morrison.
William Morrison is we'll known in East
Boston as a h~ard-working lad who has
borne the burden Of extreme poverty b~ravely
ever since he was old enough TO sell pa
pers on the street. Shortly after he was
born his parents separated, his father going
to Charlestown to reside, and later to Chel-
sea, while the mother remained to bring up
the children in a little cottage.
Mrs. Morrison has produced records which
confirm the family's claim TO connection
with the childless multi-millionaire. Mourt-
izen CT California. The Morrisons origi-
nally came from ~Svendborg, Denmark, a lit
tie seaport town, OF which the principal part
is still owned by the family estate. The
family name is Mouritzen, but a note in
the family bible explains, ION account OF
the pronunciation, o changed il TO Nor
rison." Frank A. Mouritzen, whose death
Is reported, and his brother, John Mourit-
zen, were property owners and ship owners
on a gigantic scale and owned at one time
a large share Of the conmerce-bearing craft
that sailed from Amsterdam. With the mil
lions there accumulated they came to this
country, went west and doubled their wealth
by judicious investments in the natural re-
sources OF California. John Peter Mourit-

of DR.. Miles Restorative Nervine He
writes: In January, 1892. l was taken with
a very severe case of La Grippe which hung
on for five long weeks; and as a result l
was left in a very weak condition. My
nervous system was affected TO such an ex-
tent that l could not sleep at night, and l
was restless at all times. AS my physicians
were unable to relieve my suffering, | de-
cided to try Or. Miles Restorative Nervine,
After using one bottle l began to sleep at
night, and my sleep was quiet and res'tul.
As l continued the use OF the medicine my
nerves steadied up, the crazy feelings" left
my head, and l have not been troubled with
them since. DR.. Miles Nervine did more
for me than all the doctors medicine l ever
took"
Another victim OF La Grippe writes as
follows: Il had an attack of La Grippe
which left me in a fearful condition. ! lost
all appetite for food, was troubled with a
futtering sensation OF my heart, and my
nerves were so shattered that it was almost
impossible to obtain sleep or even to lie

If YOU have had La Grippe. YOU can
realize something of the suffering en-
dured 10y its thousands of victims
every year. You Know, perhaps, how
it tears and strains at your spinal col
umn: how it twists your neck and fairly
seems to split your head wide open.
You know how it seizes you with Il
vice-like grasp, whirlS YOU up into the
black cloud of a nervous cyClone-then
suddenly lets you go and you fall back
bruised and wounded when the storm is
over. Perhaps YOU also know that Dr..
Miles Nervind will kill La Grippe
that it is a wonderful healer and Will
close up the lacerated wounds and re
vive the v%anquished spirits. Thousands
of unfortunate victims have found in
that great nerve food and tonic just the
medicine needed to repair the injuries
inflicted by the modern scourge, La
Grippe. If you don't need it tell your
friends about it. 1t will help them.

are not financially able TO develop the ore
bodies. Capital is coming into the camp
freely this spring and some mining ground
has already exchanged hands at an increase
in figure. II is thought that the Uncle sam
mine will be producing ore in a month more
and it is stated by former owners that there
are ore shoots in it as rich as in the Holy
Terror mine.
Work has been resumed again on the Ajax
mine. in the First ward Of Deadwood. by
the Ajax Mining company. A shaft was sunk
nearly 100 feet deep last summer and a drift
run another 100 feet into the hill. which
crosscut the formation. The shaft is being
sunk an additional 100 feet. at which depth
another crosscut Will be run. The shaft is
being sunk on a vertical Of ore which car
ries copper, iron and about s. in free gold.
The shaft has penetrated several ore bodies,
the largest one being twelve feet thick.
The force OF miners has been increased at
the new workings OF the Gold Edge COM
pany, in Strawberry gulch, and a shaft Is
being put down very fast. A hosting plant
has been put in over the shaft and it is ex-
pected by the management that ore will be
shipped out in sixty days. The shaft was
started on a ledge which assayed 81 in gold,
SIC in silver and carried a high percentage
OF lead. The shaft is not far from the Gilt
Edge mine and the same vertical Of ore
which has made that mine so rich is thought
to pass north across this ground. The par
ties backing the company are from Chicago

zen, father OF the boy William, and a sister,
now deceased, were the only heirs Of these
brothers. their unCles. John Peter was born
at Svendborg, Denmark, on July IL, 1884,
came to this country prior 10 the civil war,
married Margaret Kelley Of Boston and was
in the United States service at Charlestown
navy yard during the civil war. He was a
member Of Hamrnatt Masonic lodge, and at
one time was worth considerable property,
all Of which vanished long ago. shortly
after the birth Of the youngest boy, William,
his parents separated. and Mrs. Morrison
had lost trace Of the millionaire uncles until
recently, not even knowing in what section
of California they were located. The uncles
kept up a correspondence with Mr., Morrison,
however, and it was from the latter's later
connections that the news Of the death and
legacy was received.
John Peter Morrison died Of a paralytic
shock July 90, 1898, and his body was
brought to the little home on Princeton
street and thence buried. Mrs. Morrison
was never able to realize a cent from the
deeds and benefit claims left her by her
husband, and life has been a round OF I'M
ending toll ever since for the deaf and in
firm woman CT 90 years. Mary Louise, MIR.
Morrison's sister in Denmark, died some
time ago.
There are several other members Of the
Morrison family who may hope TO share in
the good fortune Of the youngest Of them

formerly of the navy yard, is employed on
Commercial street; Charles H. Is fireman at
India wharf on freboat IA; Maria NJ. is now

and it is not known when that will occur.
He said it was conceded. however, when he
