MILLION ARE.
Secretly Atones For a Crime OF Many
Years Ago.

New York Press: A master mason
in Bentschen, Germany, named Jacobs,
was delighted to receive remittance
recently from q man in New York.
The sender was unknown to him, but
the remittance amounted to SCOTS
marks. equal to $1,000. The sender,
jacobs believes, must have signed an
assumed name. He says the only eX-
PLANTATION he can give for the strange
transaction is that the money came
fvor, & former partner, who absconded
thirty years ago. He says that in 1869
his PARTNER in business disappeared
suddenly, taking with him $1,000 marks
which belonged to Jacobs. Every eff
fort was made to find him or get
trace cf his whereabouts, but all were
unsuccessful. and after while ne re-
signed himself to his loss. About a
year ago. he says. while on business
trim in North Germany. he was thrown
in contact with party OF American
tourists travelling in the same dlrec-
ton. Fe talked with them and they
tClc him Of many successful Germans
who had settled in the United States.
He remembered his abscOndlng part-
ner and wondered if he had migrated
TO America. He told his newly-made
companions the story OF his trouble
and mentioned his former partners
name. The Americans said they knew
a millionaire of that name in Chicago.
Mr.. Jacobs thinks it possible that the
Americans told the Chicago millionaire
OF the interview when they returned
and that the remittance was the re-
suit. The money sent represents the
amount C The original loss. plus COM
pound interest. The name OF the Chi
cago millionaire was not diyulgei by
Jacobs.
