The young Russian mechanic. Ivan
Doroschenko, may be htly described
as the luckiest man In the world. I'm

workman employed on the railroad

modest wage OF five dollars per week

the town, where he shared small room

of bread, washed down with cheap Rus

appeared at the railroad works, called
him aside, and communicated 10 him
the amazing intelligence that he had IN
herited the sum of S3O00O000. At hrst,
Doroschenko thought that he was tho
victim OF poor practical joke but the
two n0taries soon convinced him Of the
genuineness Of the communication they
had made to him. ana outlined to him
briefly the story of the inheritance.
AMAssED a FORTUNE.

fortune which In those times was al
