SAVED MILLIONS.
Heir to $50, 900, 900 Accumulated Equal
Amount From the Income

New York, Sept 1S-George C. Tay-
Tor. son of Moses Taylor, who was CON
sidered one of the wealthiest merchants
of his time, is dead at his home at
Great River, L. L, after being in feeble
health several years. He was about ~
years old. He had lived in strict retire
ment at Great River for nearly twenty
years, having moved there from this
city where his father had accumulated
his fortune. The Taylor place is one of
the finest on the island. -
BY his fathers will Mr.. Taylor re-
ceived the income from $4,000, 900. The
principal was held in trust, however,
and the son was not allowed to touch it.
Though the son never engaged in active
business it is thought that before he
died he had accumulated by saving, a
fortune, equal if not superior to that
left him by his father.
In President Lincolns administration
Mr.. Taylor was in the consular service
and was stationed in London. There he
met Mrs. Betsy Head, an English wo-
man, and engaged her as housekeeper
and confidential secretary. She came
with him when he returned to this
home at Great River until June 10 of
this year, when she died, leaving prop
erty valued at $365,000.
Mr.. Taylor became the guardian OF
Mrs. Heads daughter, Lena. Five or
six years ago this daughter married
Frederick William Bodley, Mr.. Taylor's
gardener. She was disinherited by her
mother, whose will left only SIS to her
daughter. 1t is expected that MI
Taylor in his will may have made some
provision for his ward.

THEY WILL TRY AGAIN.
Friends of New Chicago. Charter Are
Still Full of Fight.

Chicago, Sept. 1S.-That Chicago is
yet to have its new charter is the SEN
timent of many men prominent IN the
last charter convention TheSe men
had hardly heard of the smashing de-
feat given the measure before they be
gan to figure on what can be done. IN
the near future
That this city can not be governed
satisfactorily under present laws was
the general sentiment. In the camp
of those who helped to tread the
measure in the dust there was dis
position to lend a hand to the franz
ing of better one. Walter L. F1sner
one of the hardest workers in the
charter convention, submitted a
strong statement both on the causes
of the defeat of the measure and as to
the present exigency.
1.-THE charter was defeated by the
usual combination of selfshneSs and
stupidity with which every really con-
structive reform has to contend, said
Mr.. Fisher In the first place it had
to encounter both selfishness and stu
pidity in the charter convention ltseiI
and certainly the politicians were both
selfish and stupid when the legislature
not only cut out the provisions for
primary and nomination reforms,
which the people are determined TO
secure but inserted a ward gerryman-
der which no one has dared to de-
fend In spite of all this, however,
the charter would have been of i'm
mense advantage to Chicago if it had
not been stupidity opposed by men
who ought to have been eager to Sc
cure the enlarged powers of local
home rule and the control OF puonc
utilities which it contained.
'The charter would have strength
ened in many ways the fight for bet
ter municipal government in Chicago.
It's defeat by appeals to selfish inter
ests of particular classes and paru-
cular sections of the city and above an
by the cry against increased taxation
is deeply to be regretted
However. the fight must go on.
Chicago must have immediate release
from existing conditions. Its revenues
must be increased and its bonding
power enlarged and this can be &C
complished under the present constf-
tuition only by consolidation of the
parks with the city government We
must be- given the power to govern
ourselves, without continual appeal to
Springfield for cthe details of legisla-
ton. There are certain measures OF
immediate importance which the leg
isIature should pass at once at Its ses-
sion next month, If a comprehensive
charter can mot be obtained separate
bills covering these points should be
prepared at once either by the char
ter convention or by the city council.
Permanent relief can not be secur-
ed until a comprehensive charter, &C
ceptable to the people of this city has
been prepared I believe that con-
vention should be elected for the pur-
pose zts

LOYAL TO new YORK.
Carnegie Compares the American Me-
tropolis With London.

Glasgow, Sept, 18.-Andrew Carne-
gle appeared as a eulogist of the mu-
nicipaI government of New York com
pared with the government OF Brltlsh
cities. in a speech delivered at lunch-
con after the laying of the cornerstone
of the Mitchell library. He said:
New York is held up before the
world by her own yellow press as sunk
in iniuuity, with everything going to
the bad and with nothing creditable
whatever. To one who gets away from
New York for half the year and is aple
to look on her from a distance there
are three or four things that comfort
him greatly. He compares New ork
with London and finds that upon these
matters New York is in advance"
Continuing Mr.. Carnegie contrasted
New York's water supply with the
usual supply in Europe for million
people, with London's meager supply
still in the hands of private companies.
the purchase of which would cost
enormous sums, whereas New York s
supply was secured cheaply by COM
mission through foresight in purchas-
ing property when its market value
was small
He praised New York's parks. her
wisdom in buying 1000 acres, where
there were many miles of drives
through real woods, and said the
Thames embankment was fine work
for London, but what was it compared
with Riverside drive of New Y DIRK, the
like of which no other city possessed
and which was being extended seven
miles

The REAL ONE FOUND.
Chicago's Case of Mistaken Identity Is
Settled 1T Last.

Chicago, Sept. 1S.@''The real Mrs
klfmovicz' has been found. The dis
covery today sets at rest all question
as to the identity of Miss Title Tolan.
a Chicago girl, who was claimed a
few days ago in Judge Cleland's court
by John. Klimovicz of Grand Rapids.
Michigan, as his wife and Identified
by Mrs. Mary Zematis, also of Grand
Rapids, as her daughter. Klimovicz
was arrested on charge of disorder
ly conduct on complaint of Miss Tolan
that Klimovicz had been annoying her
by his persistent claims that she had
been married to him two years pre-
viously. Mrs. L. Klimovicz offered to
furnish proof of her identity, but her
resemblance to her husbands pictures
and her remarkable likeness to Miss
Tolan were conclusive evidence.
The likeness between the two wo-
men, which is so great that two moth
ers appeared in court and each identi-
fed the Tolan girl as her own daugh-
ter, is more marked in the women
than their pictures.
When the case of mistaken identity
came up in court incidental to kim
ovicz's trial. Mrs. Klimovicz was living
under an assumed name three and
one-half miles east of Elgin. The de-
nouement was due primarily to pique
over a sighting remark in the court
room by Mrs. ToIan. 'sI wish they'd
just find me one of her old shoes to
try the girl VI was mistaken for
Mrs Klimovicz said. THAT would
settle my identity. I'll wager 1 can
put both of my feet in one of her
Shoes
"I would like to see her." Mrs
Klimovicz, who can wear about a No.
4 last, exclaimed when she heard of
the remark. eff she can put both of
her feet into one of my shoes she
must be a Chinese woman or a Grip
pie"
Thereupon she determined to put
an end to the queer tangle of identi-
ties which had hitherto proved a
puzzle too difficult for any person
connected with the matter to solve,
and consequently came to Chicago
with the intention of furnishing to the
court full proof of her identity. Upon
her arrival here, however, she learned
that the charge against Klimovicz ha d
been dismissed by Judge Cleland, who
acknowledged he was unable to un-
ravel the mystery. Disappointed at
this information Mrs. Klimovicz re-
turned to Elgin. She said that she
had been afraid to make herself
known to her husband because of
fear of personal violence. She ex-
pressed an intention of forcing him to
get divorce and free her.
eff he does not she said, ''I will
apply for a decree myself on the
ground of cruelty"

CLAIMS AN ISLAND.
Japan Sets Up Plea in Justification
of Her Course

Victoria, B. c., Sept. 1S.-According
to mail advices from Toxic, Japan
claims the right to occupy Pratas
Island, which was recently taken pos
session of on behalf of Japan on the
ground that as it lies between the
twentieth and twenty-first parallels, it
was no mans land. A japanese paper
just received says:
when Japan took possession CT
FormOsa, she extended her dominion
to the twenty-first parallel of latitude
and when America took possession Of
the Philippines, she extended her do
minion to the twentieth parallel; thus
the space beween the twentieth and the
twenty-frst parallels becomes a no
mans land and the island of Pratas is
in north latitude 20.45."
