COULDN'T LIVE WITHOUT THEM

New York City, Aug. 1sth.-Mr.
Charles Back, of GA Rue de la Victoire,
Paris, France, relates a most inter
esting experience.
Ever since l was about three years
of age l have suffered severely with
Kidney Disease.
Last year 1 spent some time at the
baths at Carlsbad, (Bohemia) but I
came back after five weeks treatment
with severe pain still in my Kidneys.
MY doctors in Paris and Hamburg
could do nothing for me.
81 was obliged to start from Paris
to Montreal, Canada, and when l
arrived in the Cana dian city I was half
dead.
81 read an advertisement of Dodd's
Kidney Pills in newspaper there and
began to use this remedy, and after
two days treatment felt that my
pains were leaving me and in a week
l had no pains at all.
"Dodd's Kidney Pills are the most
wonderful remedy in the world. keen
them always with me, for I believe ]
could not live without them"

FROM JAIL TO AFFLUENcE.
Them to Enjoy Fortunes Which
Have Come to Them.

In order that he may return to
Germany and obtain a fortune of
$50 900, to which he recently fell heir,
and to which his right has been fully
established, Richard Bassler has been
pardoned by the New Jersey court of
pardons. Bassler was sentenced to
two years in state prison last fall, on
a charge of burglary. The story of
the crime, as he related it to the
court of pardons, was that while in
toxicated he fell. through a store
window with no intention of stealing.
Another prisoner sentenced for ten
years in 1896 on charge of breaking
into a post office, was paroled in or
der that he might take up the manu-
facture of a sewing machine invented
bv him while behind the bars. A
company with an authorized capitali-
cation of 100000 has been char
tered to manufacture the machine.
The pardoned prisoner is said to have
received $4,000 cash and a block of
stock in the new company.

HEIRS WERE TRICKED.
How "A Rich Old German of Berlin
Fooled His LeEacy-Hunting
Relatives.

In Berlin died recently wealthy
man named Pfeiffer, who had many
relatives, but lived the life of her
nit. All who tried to do him favors
he regarded as legacy hunters.
After his death his will was opened
and to it was appended a codiciI,
which, he said, was not to be read
until after the funeral. This will read
as follows:
every member of my family who
does not attend my funeral will re-
ceive $780, When the funeral took
place there was only one mourner, an
elderly lady, who was very distant
relative.
The codicil was read that evening,
and it provided that the entire estate.
which remained after the $500 had been
paid each relative who did not at
tend the funeral should be divided
among those who had paid the last
honors to the deceased.
Thus, this one distant relative, who
showed that she had some affection
for old Pfeiffer, received several thou
sand dollars, and the other relatives
only received $500 each. The latter
are naturally disappointed, and intend
to contest the validity of the will.

FOundlings and How 1t Is
Carried On

AT least one hundred foundlings-
that is, technically, children less than
five months old to whose parentage
there is no clew, are picked up every
year in the streets OF. this city. They
used to be shipped off to the in
FAINT asylum on Randall's island, and
there they died off as if pestilence

York Sun.
All that has been changed now. As
the result of the investigation insti-
tuted about three years ago by the
State Charities Aid association and
the Society for Improving the Con-
dition of the Poor, the babies are left
in care of institutional charities no
longer than is necessary. They are
kept in Bellevue hospital, under
treatment only till homes are found
where they can have proper nursing
and almost mothers care.
In the first year after the change
was made the death rate among the
babies fell more than SIS per cent,
the next year it fell 81 per cent.

Little difficulty is found in pfovid-
ing homes for the babies. The State
Charities Aid Association and the
Guild of the Infant Saviour which
have the work in charge do quite a
rushing mail business in babies In
quiries for healthy eligible found
lings come from all over the coun-
try.
One recent application for a girl
baby came from the mayor of a
Massachusetts town, and it de.
scribed exactly what kind of a baby
was wanted. It-or rather she-was
to have blue eyes and fair hair, and
she might be of any age from 1;
months to two years. The mayor
got the baby.
From as far west as Denver, and as
far south as Alabama, have come the
requests for babies. Here is one or
der from a colored family in Pitts
burg which is still waiting to be
filed:
"Boy, anywhere under two years
old, not black. Must be light col
