lily of Bristol had entered the University

lenger for the Americas cup would be.

justice. Mr. c. +. Herreshoff, 2d. entered
the University OF Glasgow early I'm Oc-
tober. Arrangements to do so had been
made during the summer. IL was his de-
sire 20 perfect his knowledge in naval
architecture steam engineering and all
kindred subjects

of Naval Science I'm the Glasgow institu-
tlon, found Mr.. Herreshoff was not only

natural talent for designing. the same as
held by several OF the family.

Deserted Family Learns That
Cudner Died a Pauper.

Chicago. Jan. 2s.-IIad the grave given
mn It's dead and voice issued from the
tomb, Attorney II. j. Cudner. of Berwyn,
would not have been more surprised and
shocked than by the message he received
the other day.
For twenty-four years he had mourned
his father as dead. while in reality the
latter was living until two weeks ago.
Fiction contains NO stranger stories
than that which involves the Cudner fam
lily. The silence OF twenty-four years that
hid Augustus a. Cudner was broken but
once with vague story that he was
alive, aud then closed again.
A shock that thrilled the son was con-
tained in a brief letter from the super
intendent OF the soldiers home in Cali
fornia. that he whom the wife and chill
dren believed fell victim 10 the red
mans fury, had died in the institution.
Two documents were contained in the
letter that furnished undsputable proofof
Cudners identity. One. yellow with age.
was his discharge from the army in 1865;
the other. white and fresh, was the PEN,
sion certificate granted by the govern
ment on May 4 last. With no apparent
reason the husband and father had de-
serted his family.
To learn that he had lived and never
gave a sign 10 his family was shock
THAI has stunned the children and pros
trated the aged wife. Anxiously they are
awaiting information from the Pacific
slope that may throw some light upon
his silence and conduct. The brief mes
sage announced that he had died OF con-
sumption.
From the fact that the superintendent
OF the home knew the address OF the
son. IL is presumed that the father had
some knowledge of the existence of his
family
The son reasons that II could not have
been a disclosure on his deathbed or the
superintendent OF the home would not
have written In manner showing that
he thought the family was aware of the
fathers existence.
