A FORTUNE AT STAKE.
A Queer Case ON Trial in Rhode Islam d
In which Portland People Figure.

A Providence despatch states that a
fortune of a quarter Of n million dollars
depends on the result of a law suit now
on trial in the Rhode Island courts. The
story Of the case would make excellent
material for a yellow backed novel.
Miss Edna Willis whom it Is claimed
was born in Portland % years ago is the
leading character in this. $50. Mrs.
Catherine Willis claims that the girl is
not her daughter but was adopted when a
child In arms. She says that Edna S
name is Kane and that she was the
daughter of Thomas and Rose Kane of
this city. Nathan Willis. the husband of
Catherine died some years ago and left
about $3.50, 900 10 Edna Willis whom he
claimed to be his daughter. Twenty -tw o
yea s ago the heirs Of Mr.. Willis claimed
that Edna was not his child and law
suit resulted and at that time Mrs. Willis
swore under oath that Edna was her child
and produced as u witness woman
named Hatch who swore TO the story told
by Mrs. Willis.
A few months ago young man named
George Ahern Dill began calling at Mrs.
Willis house. The mother thought the
young man was in love with her, but as
1t turned out, Mr.. Din was counting the
mother for the daughter. When Mrs.
Willis discovered this to DO the fact she
was very much provoked and accused Mr..
Dill of being a fortune hunter. He
acknowledged that he could not marry
Edna II she did not have property and the
mother then stated that Edna was not
her child but was the daughter OF Thomas
and Rose Kane of Portland.
The heirs of Nathan Willis have now
come forward to claim Edna's fortune
and the case is now on trial in the Rhode
Island courts. ..Mr. Diil.has. disappeared.
No one here in Portland could be found
by PRESS reporter yesterday who
knew or ever had known Thomas and
Rose Kane. The directories of the city
from 1S7Ot 1850 fail to show more than
one Thomas Kane, and he is well
known gardener who knows nothing
about the case. No records of the birth
of Edpa Kane or Edna Willis appear In
the city clerks Office during these year
nor could any one be found who knew .
any families of these names here in Port.
land.
Twenty three years ago a family by
these names might have lived here, but
the records do not show 1t.

Miss Slessor, Scotch missionary, who
has been "a years in Africa. has her
self saved the lives of over 80 twins.
When twins are born, they are at
once taken from the mother, and If no
one intercedes they are at once taken
by the feet and head and have their
backs broken across a native woman's
knee, in the same manner as one would
break a stick. The bodies are then
placed in an earthenware receptacle
and taken to the bush, where they are
devOured by the flies, insects or ami
mails. Sometimes the little victims
are put into these receptacles alive and
are then eaten alive in the same way.
The mother becomes an outcast If
she does not at once take her own life
she has to flee to the bush. If she
ventures near the town or village, she
must see that she does not remain on
the path when any other native is COM
ing Her presence, according to their
superstition would defile the place for
Others She must not drink from the
same spring must not touch anything
even belonging to her own relatives

CnIifornin's shark OIL Industry.

The making of shark Oil is the i'm
portant industry of McGarvin's Cove
near Riverside. The process of manu-
facture is decidedly primitive. The
sharks are caught in every imaginable
way, by bait and hook, but principally
with the seine. The livers, which con-
tain the oil, after being taken from the
fish, are rendered out in cans set over
a brush fire, reminding one somewhat
Of the process of obtaining the oil from
whale blubber. The oil is then put
into casks and shipped to Los Angeles.
The coarser grades are used in the
making Of tarpaulins and other oiled
cloths for use aboard ships, while the
finer grades are put into the so called
cod liver oil of commerce. The sharks
average from 10 to % cents worth of
oil apiece. and a days catch usually
nets about $40.-Riverside Press.

1t doesn't appear to be generally known,
says the Hazleton Plsin-Speaker. that when
man draws check to his own order he
needn't put two-cent stamp on it, If you,
for instance, want to get out some money
from your own account, all you need to do is
to change your check so that it reads like a
receipt. Write received of" in front of
the banks name, cross ont the words pay to
the order of" and then fill in the spaces with
the amount Of money required and sign as
usual, and you have there a check that is
legal without stamp. The government de-
cided that this could be done last August. but
it gave no great publicity to its decision. and
probably not one private person or business
house in ten has ever heard of the matter.
