Driven Far by Storm.

Driven by the wind over an ocean
and half continent, a West Indian
heron fell into the yard of James E.
Davis, 1433 Clay street. The heron,
it is thought, was carried from an
island in the West Indies by the hur-
ricane that swept the South recently,
and the edge of which hit Cincin-
natl. The bird was exhausted when
it fell into Davis yard, and lay on its
back for some time before it was dis
covered.
Davis carried the bird into his
home, warmed it and fed it, and as
soon as it was revived it struggled
desperately to be gone again. Davis
says he will keep the bird. The Nat
ural History Society PRONOUNCED it to
be fine specimen of the West Indian
heron. Its colors are green and brown,
it has beak three inches long, and
when it takes the kinks out of it's
neck that part of it's body is about
two feet long.
The visitor from far off land has
found a home on Clay street, where
a large cage is being constructed for
it.-Cincinnati Post.

MILLIONS FOR CANCER CURE
George Croker Provides Fund For
Study Of Disease.
Estate at Darlington, N. j., and House
in New York City to Constitute
Great Fund.

New York City-By the will of the
late George Cricker, youngest son Of
Charles Croker, of California. who
died Of cancer at his home, East
Sixty-fourth street, the trustees of
Columbia University are to receive
fund of about $1,500,000 to be
known as thes George Croker Special
Research Fund, the income OF which
is to be applied in the prosecution of
researches as to the cause, preyen-
ton and cure Of cancer.
Mr.. Crocker became interested in
the subject after the death of his wife
from the same disease five years ago,
and he made a study of the causes
and prevention of cancer. He be-
came a victim of the malady. Two
operations were performed on Mr.,
Croker in an effort to save his life.
but the treatment proved futile, and
he finally died after brave fight. He
had previously given to Columbia
some $4,000 to encourage study
of the disease.
The estate at Darlington, N. j.,
cost Mr.. Croker more than $1,000
600 when he purchased it, and he has
improved it since it came into his pos
session The property which be-
longed to the testator in this city is
valued at nearly the same figure, so
that when both have been disposed of
according to the provisions in the will
the Trustees of Columbia University
will have at their disposal a fund
which, according to a close friend of
Mr.. Croker, will be in the neighbor-
hood of $1,500,000, or even more
than that, for the study of cancer.
Mr.. Croker inherited from his
father $6,000,000 as his share of the
$40, 100000 estate which the former
railroad king left. He had a reputa-
ton before his fathers death of being
reckless young man, but in accord
ance with clause in his fathers will,
which stipulated that his son should
abstain from drink for five years, he
turned over a new leaf, and at the
end of that period came into his in
heritance.
1t is understood that the bulk of
the younger Mr. Crocker's estate was
divided among his near relatives.
These include a brother, William H.
Crocker, of California; a sister, Mrs.
Charles B. Alexander, of this city; a
niece, Miss Jennie Crocker, and a
nephew, G. 7. Croker. Besides be-
quests to these the testator also leaves
by his will the sum of $25,00 to his
valet, Lee, and smaller requests to
other servants in his town house and
country estate, measured by the
length of their employment.
