to say regarding spurious works of

Paris is full of such things. They
are made there by men who make a
business of creating shams and sell

rious art treasures are cleverly built

tell they are frauds. Indeed, on the

H. O'Nfare, Sick and Disheartened,
Driven Out to Sleep in Rain.

One of the pitiful cases which has
come to the notice of the city authori-
ties is that of man by the name Of II.
O'Mare. who is afflicted with consump
ton. This poor fellow is trying TO
solicit enough funds to take him TO
Trinidad. Colorado. where he hopes 70
find relief from the dread disease. He
is a cigarmaker by trade and could
make a good living, if he had his
health.
The man tells sad story of being
turned out of lodgings on account of
his cough, until he has finally been
driven to sleeping out of doors. He
says that night before last he had been
in a room in Kansas City only about a
half an hour when they sent him word
that the other dodgers were complain
ing that they could not sleep with that
cough in the house, so they gave him
back his money and turned the sick
man out into the wet and the dew to
sleep where he could.

only typical of what has happened to

The cigarmakers' union has given
Mr. O'Mare three dollars and Mrs.
Thorp and Poor Commissioner Hale
will probably give him two dollars
more, but he will still be short of
funds enough for the trip.
The story of this poor man outcast
because of his disease is one of the
saddest which has come to the city for
some time. It is to be hoped the poor
fellow will soon be able to get together
enough funds to go to Trinidad, where

FOUND HIS SKELETON.
Mother Had Been Looking for Her
Boy Three Years.

Newburgh, N. Y. July 27.-After
mourning for over three years for her
son, Charles. whom she thought had
been kidnapped, Mrs. James Flanagan, OF
Fishlxill Landing identified parts OF the
clothing on the skeleton of little boy
found at the bottom of a gas tank well.
Employees of the local gas plant were
working at one of the three retorts,
when an iron fitting dropped from the
side wall to the bottom Of the we'll. In
graphing for the fitting they pulled up
a child's overcoat. Further investiga-
ton revealed the remnants of the body
of the little Flanagan boy. The child
had evidently fallen from the top Of the
brick wall when the tank was high and
the body was crushed when the tank
was lowered.
