CHILDREN SOLD IN HUNGARY.
peOuIe without Children Go to the
Founding Hospital to Buy
the Waits.

The Hungarian authorities are TAX
ing decisive steps TO put stop to an
extraordinary system of selling chill
dren which prevails to large extent
in the central provinces.
Once a month childless persons ap-
pear in large founding hospital in
Temesyar where they seek out the
children that suit them and depart
after paying sum of money for their
purchases.
On a recent occasion 30 children,
ranging from one to nine years, were
disposed of in this way without suffi-
cient guarantee being given that the
purchasers were respectable people
who would treat the children prop
erly. The most beautiful children
were those most sought after, especi-
ally fair-haired girls, as these in Hun
gary are rare.
In three cases circus people bought
six children to bring up as acrobats.
In one case millionaire sought a
bow to hiring up as his heir, as he had
dnsirheriteI his own son. The authori-
ties now insist on the most careful in
designations into the status and mo-
tives of the purchasers.
The news has got abroad in Hum
~ary that there is ready market for
children in Temesvar, and the mothers
of illegitimate children are eager in
many cases to send their unhappy OFF
spring to an institution where they
Lave such prospects.

A FORMER VIENNA BANKER.
He Disappeared with over n Quar-
ter of a MI llion Dollars and II
Now a Pauper.

New York, Sept. 30.-Ending his
DAYS as an inmate of the almshouse
on Blackwell's island, there has been
identified in Adolph Boedesch, says
the Times, one-time banker OF Wen
ma, whom the Austrian police have
been hunting for years. In Vienna,
Beedesch is said to have been known
as Adolph Bethlehem, banker, and
he is alleged to have disappeared
with upwards Of $25o,Ooo.
The Identification was made by
city detective, but 1t is not likely
that Boedesch will be deported for his
alleged crime. The man is now over
60 years old and is absolutely penni-
less.

Gently at Memphis he made q speech
to class of patients who were bel ng
treated for Alcoholism and drug hab-
its. of which the following are ex-
cerpts:

strength to resist liquor. l found

is no use to talk Christianity or any
other kind of 'anity' to- man who
drinks-a man under the paw of tine
tiger. You must get man sober
before you can give him religion. l
put little faith in man who gets
religion when maudlin drunk or feebly
sick. He is then afraid the devil is
going to get him and he promises like
a good fellow until the scare is over.
MOI that won't do. The best thing
to do is to get the Cure to pick you up
out of the ditch, put you on your feet,
wipe the mud off. Then when you
are clean and healthy, 60 and take
the Christ cure. Mine was the Christ
cure: but if l should go up town and
drink three drops of red liquor would
get bowling drunk and paint the town
red before morning. I have met
hundreds Of men who had been cured.

drunkard that ever lived. sent him

Union City correspondent. was sold
by Mr.. C. s. Williamson from his
home place near Culleoka recently.
The tree turned out seven cuts each

feet. The butt cut was six feet,
four inches in diameter, and yielded
l, 562 feet of lumber. The tree made
something over ten thousand feet OF
lumber, and sold for about one hun
