A Remarkable Patient.

William Mccullough has been lying i'll
at his humble home in Banks township,
Pa, since Christmas with typhoid fever
DR.. CRUDE, of Punxsutawney, Pa. is at
tending him. Mccullough is the most
remarkable patient I have ever treated" ,"
said DIR. CRUDE, "and he has the most
remarkable surroundings. He has been
lying in bed since Christmas with his
trousers and a heavy pair of boots, and
will not permit either to be removed. He
lives in a little log house about 12xl5 feet,
and has a wife and family of nine chill
dren. There is only one window in the
house, and that is a small affair, with
three Sx10 panes of glass in it. My pa
tient occupies a bed in the loft, and in
order to get to him it is necessary to
climb up the side of the wall by means
of strips nailed to the logs, which make
a sort of ladder. In order to see the sick
man | had to take lantern with me, as
there are no windows on the second floor.
There in that dark attic, on a bed with
the posts sawed off short in order to
permit it to stand upright between the
floor and the roof, lies William McCul-
Tough with his boots on. 1t is worth a
drive of nine miles over muddy roads
just to see him.
Mccullough is not a thrifty person, as
this description would imply, and is now
seer Of the poor OF Banks township,
which is not new experience for him.

WHAT'S A MILLION.
Dazzling Display of Money in
the Copper Trust Fight
in Chancery.

A stranger happening to enter Vice
Chancellor Pitney's Court in Chancery
Chambers, today, must have imagined he
had suddenly dropped into a lunatic
asylum, where inmate often dream
they are as rich as King Midas. There
at the table in front of the bench were
half dozen or more lawyers and this is
what was said within the space of two
minutes:-
your Honor there were seventy-five
millions of dollars''-said one lawyer
Yes, but your client owns as you say
three and a half millions"
-Four and a half Millions" corrected
another.
"Oh a million or two doesn't NATTER
said the other.
What have you figured out the per-
centage, is it not 800 per cent?" said
the Vice Chancellor after doing some
figuring.
'.Well, it's s25 per cent" replied Lawyer
Isaac S. Taylor.
Never mind the trifiing % per cent,
800 is near enough"
All this utterly reckless way in hand
ling millions arose out of the continued
argument to prevent the Amalgamated
Copper Company from buying up the
stock of the Boston and Montana and
Butte and Boston Copper concerns
Calvin Greer, the complainant insists
that the stock price to be paid is far
below what it really is worth and the
stockholders should have a say. Mr.
Taylor, Greer's counsel today, said that
the stock company was really in the
hands of three men who meant to absorb
the two companies to the detriment of in
dividual stockholders.
Messrs. G. L. Corbin and R. v. Lind
bury presented their argument this
afternoon andthose were to the effect that
the company does not desire to ceerce
the stockholders and beat down the value
of their holdings.
Vice Chancellor Pitney denied the in
junction.

PROF. HEBRON HERE
He Chances Over Many Big
Subjects Under the Aus
pices of Socialists.

Prof George H. Heron, the pastor of
Grinnell, Ia, who has achieved consider
able notoriety recently because OF his at
tacks on vice-President Roosevelt and
Harvard University, and DR.. Hillis's at
tack on him, exhibited himself last night
in Phillips Hall under the auspices of the
Social Democratic party of Hudson coun-
ty. The professor is a tall, thin man
with a heavy black beard and moustache.
He gesticulates wildly when he talks.
Prof. Heron scored capital unmerclful-
ly and ranted wildly at the governments
of England and the United States.
Labor he said, receives about one
fifth of the output of the world in the
form of wages. Then capital about four
fifths of that one-fifth when the wage
Garner turns consumer" Then from this
subject the speaker jumped over to this
remark:-
1T costs us $4,000 to take Christianity
across the sea and the good Lord alone
knows what that is. The entire school
system of the country is corrupt and is
being manipulated for a private book
firm. The system of education is worked
to suit the interests of these people.
Then imperialism became his theme
Here he scored the governments roundly.
Imperialism is capital exploiting itself,
he said. when labor becomes too poor
to buy it's own products how do we get
new markets? Why, simply getting some
missionaries prosecuted and causing
war" England, too, got severe roast
ing for its work in South Africa. Then
the speaker turned his attention to the
present administration, and the Philip
pines and Cuba were brought into the
heart to heart" talk. Not once did the
speaker lose chance to denounce capi-
tai and government.
After giving vent to his caustic re-
marks and denunciations of capital, the
speaker turned to what he said were the
remedies.
Civilization said he, 'must undergo
a revolution. The one way to clear up
the problem is by an international resolu-
ton. There is no remedy to the system
of private capital.' Socialism was ex-
planned at length and Carnegie was given
a scorching for his gifts of library srtes
to the city of New York. Prof Heron
characterized these as a curse. to the mu-
niclpality that received them. This was
the substance of the entire address, At
the conclusion Chairman Kraft said that
he felt sure the audience would go away
pleased with the intelligence impaired to
them. The speaker answered many
questions

MRS. HEM GETS $4,000
Metropolitan Insurance Com
pany Must Pay the Full
Amount.

A verdict for $4,000, the full amount
claimed, was returned by a jury in the
Supreme Court yesterday afternoon in the
suit of Mrs. Caroline Hem against the
Metropolitan Life Insurance Company to
recover the amount of policy on ~e
life of her husband, Frederick Hem, Isl
sued short time before the latter was
found dead in bed at his home on Mag
nolia avenue, Jersey City Heights.
AS told in last nights News the
insurance company refused to pay the
claim on the grounds that the deceased
had given incorrect answers to the ques-
tions propounded by the medical examiner
and was not in the bodily health in which
he represented to be.
The testimony developed the fact that
HEM was 50 years of age. For many
years he had conducted a prosperous
saloon at No. 642 Newark avenue. He APP
piled for insurance in the Metropolitan
Company on May Z, 1900, and was exam
ined by DR.. Cropper five days later. He
was taken sick on May 19 and was attend-
ed by DR.. Chas E. Putnam, and died on
June 5, from cardiac paralysis and
phlebitis.
The trial was replete with technical OBJ
jections on both sides. The company tried
to prove that HEM, prior to the issuing
of the policy of insurance on his life had
suffered from vertigo, an abscess on his
leg, heart disease, bronchitis, enlarged
veins and that he concealed the fact that
he had ever been attended by a physician.
DR.. G. C. Culver who is a member OF
the Board of Education, testified that
about five years ago he had treated Mr.
Hem, and discovered that he had to-
bacco heart and enlarged veins in one of
his legs.
Lawyers Marshall Van Wrinkle and Jas.
F. Clark, who represented the plaintiff,
objected to the defense of fraud on the
grounds that the company's pleas We're
not properly framed.
Justice Collins held that the objection
was well taken but permitted Judge Otto
Grouse, the defendants counsel, to amend
his plea.
A number of witnesses among them FL
nance Commissioner Jacob Ringle, ex-Di-
rector of Education Frank Gallery, Mich
olas OFT, Louis Steinberger and Street
and Water Commissioner Ferd Heintze
testified that Mr.. Hem was very mod
crate smoker.
In summing up the case for the pialntln
Lawyer Van Winkle said
'sThis was nothing but a gamble on the
defendant company's part. If Hem mad
lived to be eighty one years of age-as old
as his mother-then there would have
been no complaint. The company gambied
and lost-that's the trouble. If there is
such a thing as an honest gambler, it is
the one who cheerfully pays when he
loses

STRIKE ON NEW BREWERY.
Central Union Takes Hand In the
Fight and Ties Up Business.

The strike of the building industries
affiliated with the United Building Trades
Council on the new brewery of the Hud-
son County Consumers Brewing Com
pany in West Hoboken, has extended to

have far reaching effect on the concern
when it is ready to begin business The
United Brewery Workers of New York
and New Jersey have now taken a hand
in the matter and the Central Labor
Union of Hudson County will lend all
possible assistance to the central body of
the building trades.
The central body of the brewery work
ers became interested in the fight through
the Central Labor Union, with which its
local subordinate bodies are affiliated.
Aside from it's interest in a brother labor
organization the support of the Central
Labor Union comes through the painters
locals affiliated with it.
AT last nights meeting of the Building
Trades Council it was reported that a
committee of the Executive Board of the
brewery workers would meet with a COM
mittee of the Council either tonight or
tomorrow night when details will be ar
ranged to push the strike to an issue

THEIR COATS HELD PIGEONS.
And When the Boys Began to Run
Their Pursuers Were Surprised.

Their Pursuers Were surprised.
Seven boys with bulging coats attract
ed the attention of Detective Weinthal
and Patrolmen Weeks and Kiely on lower
Newark street, Hoboken, at two o'clock
this morning. When the policemen ap-
preached then the boys started to run. A
furry of feathers and flight of pigeons
from their midst suddenly explained the
cause of the bulging coats to their
pursuers.
Four of the boys escaped down side
streets. The thre others were taken to
Police Headquarters, where a frightened
pigeon was found concealed under the
coate of fifteen year old Frank Finnegan,
the most youthful looking of the trio.
Finnegan gave his residence as No. u
Charlton street. New York. His COM
FAnions who claimed the same age, de-
scribed themselves as John Brennan, of
No. So Leroy street, and William Carey,
of No. "A Bowling place, both of New
York. All three confessed that they were
strangers in Hoboken and had gone there
to steal pigeons. They were unable to
describe the street from which they had
stolen the birds, but said they had visited
several cotes.
Recorder Stanton committed them to
the County Jail. Six persons present at
the hearing complained of missing pig

HEIR TO MILLIONS
Conductors Wife Says She
and Her Brother Have

Coming to

GOLD IN CALCUTTA BANKS
An Armenian Grandfather
Amassed the Fortune
FIT = Years Ago
and Died.

Although her husband works as a con-
ductor for the North Hudson County
Railroad Company at 81 a day, Mrs.
Tookhman Basmajier of West Hoboken,
says she is joint heir with a brother in
Armenia to an estate consisting of $224,-
100000 in gold on deposit in the banks OF
Calcutta, India. She has Greek newspa-
pers and letters from her brother which
apparently substantiate her assertion
that the estate exists and that she is
one of the two heirs. Mrs. Basmajier has
placed the matter in the hands of Lawyer
c. c. Hendrick, who will endeavor to
prove her claim to one-half of this vast
legacy.
According to the story told by the mo-
torman's wife, who now believes that she
is the richest woman in the world, her
grandfather, Manovel Oghley Mandarage,
died at Calcutta over fifty years ago. He
was an Armenian by birth, but had lived
in Calcutta from boyhood. He amassed
his immense fortune there and converted
everything into gold before his death.
This gold. according to the Greek papers
in Mrs. Basmagier's possession, was
placed in the vaults of the banks of Cal
cutta.
The wealthy Armenian, so the story
goes, left a will which he stipulated
should not be opened until fifty years
after his death. The time limit having
passed the will was recently opened and
it was learned that the immense estate
was left to the nearest of kin of the de-
ceased now living.
Mrs. Basmejier was not born when her
wealthy grandfather died, but she says
she Otter heard her mother tell of her
grandfather who had gone to Calcutta
and amassed an immense fortune before
ne died there. She heard nothing further
about the matter until she received word
from her brother in Armenia telling of
the vast legacy that was theirs and en-
closing the Greek papers with the remark
able story of the vast estate awaiting
claimants
Lawyer Hendrick has communicated
with the American and English consults
at Calcutta, and Philopolis, Turkey; about
the matter, and he expresses every con-
fdence in the genuineness of his clients
claim.
Despite their anticipated great wealth
the Basmagiers have not altered their
frugal mode of living. The husband daily
manipulates the strap of car on a line
which, if his expectations are realized
his wife could purchase outright and
never miss the change she paid for it.
