Wales, a very large land owner. The
boy, now 49, ran away from home be-
cause he did not like his step mother.
The sisters suspected he had gone TO
the United States because a letter
from an uncle in this country was miss
ing from the family correspondence,
but they could not remember the ad-
dress OF the uncle. They only knew ii
was I'm some large city. and they deter
mined to find the lad. AS the father
would not advance any money for the
search they had but little and that
their own pocket money when they
landed in New York two years ago.
They agreed. to separate for the pur-
pose or search, Miss Grace went to Chi

assistant cashier in dry goods house; {;
Miss Emma went to Cincinnati and
maintained herself by taking sub
scriptions for books ana periodicals and
Miss Elsie finally became a sales girl

the big cities of Indiana, Illinois. Mich

Be Cultured and Refined.
STOLE ARTICLES IN A BIG STORE.

Bsusve Shs Gave Flo llous Nine.

Boston, April 5.--A middle-aged wom-
an. wearing an expensive sealskin cape
and other costly garments. was locked
up at the house of detention just be-
fore 8 o'clock yesterday afternoon. She
said she was a widow and that her
name was Mrs. Jennie Adams. She
claimed Pawtucket as her home. but
said she is on visit to friends in Bel
mont.
Mrs. Adams has every evidence of a
woman of culture and refinement. She
admitted stealing small wares. valued
at $3.77 at one of the big stores yester-
day afternoon where she was arrested
by Inspector Knox. When asked why
she stole she said:
Il don't know, unless the devil tempt
ed me. / never aid such thing in my
life. / cannot understand what made
me do it,
Mrs Adams had valuables i'm her pos
session and was well supplied with
money. The police believe she has
given fictitious name. They ques-
toned her closely as TO just what Sec
tion Of Pawtucket she lived in. Her
answers were unsatisfactory. She said
she had not been there much since her
husband ded, which was nine years
ago, and had been visiting friends the
greater part of the time.

PakNT0B MILITIA.

The people OF London are being taxed
to maintain a militia regiment which
is non-existent. and Messrs. Boyd. OF
No. 10 Holborn, have expressed their
disapproval of the arrangement by re-
fusing to pay the contribution required
of them.
Long ago, in the days of Charles l.,
Parliament passed an act obliging the
civic authorities of London to raise
and maintain" n regiment of militia.
and that they m ght have the neces-
sary funds. power was given To the
city lieutenant to levy what was called
the militia trophy tax" This act was
reaffirmed some hundred years later.
and since then the civic authorities
have always collected the tax with
scrupulous care and businesslike regu-
lar.ty. But the militia regiment has
for years been thing of the past, says
the London Mail.
Messrs. Boyd first refused to pay the
tax five years ago. 1t was very small
sum-13s. 2l2d. to be precise-and
doubtless ii would have been paid
without a murmur but that one men,
Der of the firm, being of an inquiring
turn of mind. happened TO ask what
regiment the tax maintained. Upon
this point he was unable to obtain
any information. and Messrs. Boyd
consequently refused To pay the tax.
In 1897, however, the city lieutenant
sent in little bill for the current year
and the previous claims. Messrs Boyd
again refused 10 pay. The collector
demonstrated by h $ books that nobody
had ever refused payment before. Still,
Messrs. Boyd, however We're adamant.
The collector said he had power to levy
execution without further proceedings.
Messrs. Boyd said he might do his
worst.
The next demand for payment was
at the end Of last year, and as Messrs.
Boyd took no notice they were sum-
moned at the Guildhall court There
were four hearings. and at one of these
Mr.. Avoy stated that the ievenue OBJ
tanned from the tax was e4600. He
also said that $500 per annum was
pad TO maintain the barracks in the
City Road for "the Hon. Artillery COM
pany and the city of London Militia"
Mr.. Avoy said he mentioned this. mot
because he was bound to do so. but TO
satisfy the curiosity of defendants"
Eventually the case was Withdrawn
on the ground that the aldermen had
no jurisdiction. The authorities arc
now taking counsel together as to their
future action.
Meantime, Messrs. Boyd point out
that f500 n year spent on barracks
does not account for c 1900. while at the
same time they have made the offer
that II IL could be proved the proceeds
OF the tax went toward placing one
m litiaman I'm the field they would pay
the tax five times over.
What they do object 10 Is paying
toward the maintenance OF militiamen
who do not exist.

They're for sick kidneys.
They cure backache. every kidney

Here is Providence evidence to prove
1t:
Mrs. Daniel T. Begley OF 27 Cottage

bled with his kidneys for long time.
and the pain through his ioins and kid
neys was so severe at times that 1t
laid him up in bed for n day or more.
He doctored a great deal and spent
lots of money for different remedies,
but nothing did him much good until
ne got Doan's Kidney Pills. They
helped him wonderfully and he has all
