SHE WAS DRUGGED AND ROBBED.

State-st., Brooklyn, about three weeks ago II
was further learned last night that 81 800 had been
drawn from the Emigrants' Savings BapS Teceh'S
by the woman. and the police are now trying 10
solve the enigma at present TO who obtained 'he
money from her. Mrs. Taylor also had seNerai
500 bills and notes of smaller denomination
sewed on the inside of her corset. These nave aSo
disappeared.
Mrs. Taylor was found a few weeks ago on the
West Side wandering aimlessly about the streets
by little girl. She taken 10 ST vincent :
Hospital and transferred to Bellevue few days
later she to the care of superintendent OF
the Poor Mccarthy Of Brooklyn She was ois
charged and to the home of Mrs. FREDERICK
Depken No. PSI Atlantic-ave., in that borough
Yesterday her senses returned completely. She
told the story of how she was taken to New Y ork
by a and two women, after she had been
drugged and taken TO a cellar on the West side.
where after beating her for refusing to sign GER
tain papers, they held her prisoner. The po-
lice suspected some wrongdong on the part OF Mrs
Taylor's nurse. Annie Anderson. who was arrested
on suspicion of having spirited her away, but was
released in a short time.
AS Mrs Taylor was erratc and supposed TO be
suffering from senillty. the dropped for a
time the supposltion that during a temporary
alteration she had wandered away from her home.
She admitted that she had drawn 1890 from the

1924 This fact has been substantiated by the bank
officials They say that the money paid TO
Mrs. Taylor in person. When asked about the
money, she said ii was sent a friend In Ireland.

puzzles the police. Mrs. Taylor never in the
habit of drawing money in such large amounts

under the lame of Jane Burns, and said she
was a daughter to Martin Hanley, the Coroner
during the Tweed administration She sent
TO the alcoholic ward at Bellevue Hospital. She
was in rather strange condition at the time. and
the doctors thought that she suffering from
alcoholism Mrs: Taylor said that she did not in
duIge in any intoxcants The supposed alcoholic
might have been due some drug.
When Mrs. Taylor discharged from Belle

"GAINS OF THE COMMON PEOPLE"
DR. HILLS DECLARES THAT WITH WEALTH
HAS COME A DIFFUSION OF HAPPINESS.

HAS COME A DIFFUSION OF HAPPINESS
knowledge has become intellectual contagion
" Win wealth has come a diffusion of happiness.
1t is not true that the wealth of the country is in
the hands of the rich.
These are some of the optimistic sayings of the
Rev. Dr. Newell Dwight Hills in his Thanksgiving
sermon in Plymouth Church. Brooklyn, yesterday.
He took occasion to deny the assertion Of Bryan
that the rich growing richer and the poor
poorer.
II quote from one Of the Presidential cand-
dates" said Dr. Hills He further
than that. I'll quote from his speech in order
that he may not be Incorrectly reported I want
to say here and that in all the history OF the
world the capitalists have never carried out a
sweeping reform This l want to controvert.
Washington the richest man in the country at
the time he lived. and Jefferson was the second
John Adams was the richest man in New-England:

him suit of clothes, if 1t is the second suit that

suits of clothes is a capitalist, a with two
loaves Of bread-one for to-day and one for to-
morrow"
The Gains of the Common People During the
Nineteenth Century was the subject Of DR.. Hill
liss sermon. He spoke particularly OF the in
crease in wealth. wisdom, virtue and happiness
Speaking of the period between the first Thanks
giving Day, in 1921, and to-day, he said
These 279 years have brought reason for praise
and thanks, but | doubt whether any one year has
given reason for more gratitude than the one just
passed. Certainly the greediest farmer have
reason for pessimsm when only yesterday in
Chicago, he received As cents bushel for his corn
And what is equally as valuable is that the price

During the century there has been a wonderful
