bird that, in sire. outrivals any Of the
forms known to science. either living
or extinct, has just reached the chief
ornithoisets. OF the Smithsonian in
stitution, vhs regards the discovery
as one Of the first importance. The
details thus far received are TO the
effect that scientific party exp!or-

Andes range unearthed from the
strata OF the tertiary age the skull Of
what they q, first took to be g'gan-
tic bird Of prey. but on subsequent
examination they pnenrthed other
parts that caused them 70 change
their first view and reach the e0Tclu-
sion that the bird must have been a
water fowl. The size OF this extinct
bird, which the discoveries named the
"phorarnehis," Is. according to the
reports. something amazing, u having
been at least q fourth larger than the
"dodo" of Madagascar, bird now ex-
tinct, but which until the finding OF
this Patagonian monster held nrst

A ROMANTIC CAREER.
Speculator and Husband of Duchess
Ends Up as a Marine.
e. l.. Dwyer. Former Chicago Hilton
aire, Anxious to Secure Mis- Re-
lease from the Navy In Order
to Begtn Life Over Again.

Edward L. Dwyer once millionaire
mine owner, promoter and bold specu-
lator in wheat, who startled even Chi
cago by his daring, and who later mar
ried a duchess worth millions OF dol
lars, sailed into the Brooklyn navy
yard the other day a marine on the
United States transport Calgoa.
Dressed in his natty sailor suit, his
face bronzed by the Philippine sun.
his muscles hardened by work. Dryer
looked little like a dashinG Spectator
and husband of duchess.
Dwyer has been in the service OF the
United States since July 81, 1900. when
penniless. disinherited by his aged
wife, tired of wandering, he went TO
Harrisburg and enlisted in the marine
corps. The term OF enlistment is three
years, but Dvyer has influences at
work in the navy department.. and
there is little doubt that his carly dis
charge will be secured.
Dryer first attracted attention in
1880, then member OF the Chicago
board of trade, by purchasing 1000 900
bushels of wheat for future delivery
without depositing margins. While in
New York In 1894. representing west
ern mining interests. he met the
Duchess de Caste!iILocia, whose hus-
band had died only a short while be-
fore. leaving her 8 fortune estimated
at 1900, 900. She WAS more than 70
years older than Dwyer. but he Won
her. and the two were married at Rock
Ridge, Fla. January 20, 1895.
The duchess died snsn after the we'd
ding. leaving the bulk OF her fortune
to her two children. Dryer received
$4,000.
Dwyer then started on the road to
financial ruin through speculation
and in May 1899, he found himself PEN
niisss. He filed petition in bankrupt
cs in New York. With liabilities OF
$2s2.05 and 40 visible assets. But
Dryer within a y.as had organized =
company with capital Of t,5oo.ooO
10 develop silver mines in Iacatseas,
Mexico. Apparently this scheme VAS
not successful. and year later he WAS
again penniless. II was then that he
enlisted and was assigned 10 service
in the Philippines.
While DSysr was in the Philippines
he looked about him for favorable in
