According TO the old Dutch custom
the property was not secured by a
title, but by n bond. The Trinity
corporation attorneys. although they
have searched diligently, ave failed
to find the piece Of parchment. The
old records of the borough have been
destroyed, and Nahum and other
claimants assert that they V ample
proof tina the land was originally
owned by Francis Forncook and two
of his brothers in 1176, they having
inherited il from Aneke Jams BOgar-
dus. since the days Of old Captain
Hendrix Hudson. It is claimed, the
property has been owned by the Bo-
gardus family. and its heirs, and the
%ninety-nine year lease provided for
the first and only time it ever passed
out OF the active management of the
family.

Journal by j. F. Palmer. The story
IN the Post, which has a familiar ring,
IS as follows:
Policeman George T. Nahum may
become M of the richest men in the
world. Establishment or mis- claim to
property in New York City valued at
SIS, 600, 900 600 and a fortune in cash
amounting TO $50. 000. 900 now on de-
post in the Holland bank at The
Hague, actually seems now neal ac-
comrlishment. II is the old Aneke
Jams Bogardus claim about which
many columns and some books have
been printed.
/. N. Stevens, Mahlum's attorney.
working with a umbe Of New York
attorneys, has succeeded in locating
a majority OF the heirs who are in
terested with Nahum in claiming 1872
acres and seventy-five rods in the
heart of New York city. OF these
Nahum is the most important claim
ant, he being a direct descendant Of
Aneke Jams Bogardus. who formerly
owned a large grant Of land. This
grant includes the sites OF the Wal
dorf-Astoria hotel and Trinity church,
and is at present chiefly held BY the
Trinity corporation. The corporation
according TO the claim made by Nah
lum, held the property under a ninety
ninc-year lease. which expired fifteen
years ago.

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO
Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us
 Strong and Healthy.

All the blood in the body passe through the kidneys once every thre minutes. The kidneys filter the blood They work nigt and day. When healthy they remove about 800 grains of impure matter daily, when un' healthy some part of this impure mat ter is left in the blood. This brings on many diseases and symptoms pain in the back, headache, nervous ness. hot. dry skin, rheumatism, gout, gravel, disorders of the eyeslght and hearing. dizziness irregular heart' debility, drowsiness, dropsy. deposits in the urine, etc. But if you keep the filters right you will have no trouble with your kidneys.
 w. A. Hawkins, 6G9 Yesler Way Seattle, Wash, says: Tt gives me pleasure to confirm the statement l gave for publication some years ago in favor of Doan's Kidney Pills as the relief l obtained from their use has proven permanent. I suffered from an acute attack of kidney uou- tIe and though I used remedy after I was unable to find relief. l had the most severe pains across the small of my back and was also by irregular passages of the kidney secreuons. Doan's Kidney Fills helped me at once and continue use entirely relieved me. am a great advocate of Doan's Kidney Pills and have recommended them on many occasions"

GAMBLER'S LUCK.
The Lackey Who Changed Places With
 His Former Master.

diS forneT WaStST.
 Some years ago remarkable occur renee transpired at Nice, which Is very near to Monte Carlo. A notorious habitue of the casino, who had made his money principally there, had set up an English vehicle, a pair of horses, tiger" and all, and cut quite swell driving in the ncIghborhood, says H. lustraZlone. One day he was riding in the envlrons of the town when his servant, sitting upon the raised box behind. who had been feeling some what uneasy at not receiving his wages for some time. seeing his master quite alone, ventured to ask him through the back window If he would not make 1t convenient to pay him. The master was in good humor and asked:
 "IIow much is 1t, La FleurW
 "One hundred and twenty-five livres, may 1t please you, monsieur"
 Very well; here It is," said the master. spreading the sum in paper currency upon the seat of the vehicle. "Now. La Fleur, have you a pack Of cards with you?'
 Certainly" answered the obsequious lackcy. q always carry them, mon- sicur." producing the cards at once.
 "That Is well. Now, will be bank CT. and you shall play against me. l will take the front seat, the back one shall serve for our table, and you can look through this back window"
 The lackey assentcd to this, amused at his masters condescension. Luck was rather on the masters side, but both men became quite eager In the game. thinking of that, and that only. Little by little the footman's money went until all that was left of his wages was Q livrcs. He began to feel anxious. when suddenly his luck turned. and he won the whole sum back. with every sou his master had about him.
 PiQued at his loss. the master wa gered horse. which the lackey won; then its mate, next the harness and lastly the carriage itself. Luck ran all one way. and the servant, La Fleur, won everything. The master took out his watch and put 1t down against wen sum. The cards were shuttied, and the lackey won.
 "I have nothing more, La Fleur. You have cleaned me out" said the half desperate gambler.
 The servant was In high spirits at his strange run of luck.
 Here are hundred llvres, monsieur. I will stake them against your posi- tion. If you win they are yours. If you lose we change seats"
 Agreed"
 The cards were shufiled. La Fleur won. and the vehicle returned to Nice with its former master occupying the servants box behind and La Fleur sit ting inside.

WOODEN MILLS MERGE.
Western End and Oakland Institutions
Are Consolidated.

The Western Wooden Mills at the south
east corner of Laurent and North Madi-
son streets will close down Saturday
night and the business of the concern will
be transferred to the Oakland wooden
mills. The latter establishment will fill
the present orders of the Western mills,
as well as their own This decision was
the Western Wooden Mills held the first
of the week, according to a statement
made by NJ C. Holman, treasurer of the
Western Wooden Mills. this morning.
He said that the change would be made
because there was not enough room In
Topeka for the two mills and the other
mill was more conveniently arranged. He
also said that the Oakland mills had one
third greater capacity. than those in
North Topeka. The mills are to be under
one management. according to Mr.. Hol-
man. but he said he did not know as to
what part the officials of the North To-
peka concern would have in the direc-
ton of the affairs of the other establish
ment. The mills which were to be closed
down We're built about nine years ago.
This morning Mr.. Holman said:
1.-The Oakland mills viii fill the orders
that have been sent in to our mills in
addition to the work now in progress
there. We will make the change as the
capacity of the Oakland mills is one-third
greater than the North Toreka mills.
There is not room in the city ,.r the two
ablishments. I do not know what will
be done with the building we occupy or
what disposal will be made of the ma
chfnery.
I'VE will use all the hands now employed
here along with the entire force of the
other mills if the business warrants it.
but at present that is all / can say as to
what will be done about that matter
