HAS ANYBODY SEEN
MISSING ANN FAITH
Worldwide Search for Heiress Of
Millions Has Once More
Been Resumed.

The two greatest organizations in
the world, the Cstholie Church and the
Masonic Fraternity will soon be asked
to join the police in another world
wide hunt for Ann Faith, an heiress
to millions of dollars, who has disap-
peared as completely as if she had
never lived.
If Ann Faith is dead her children
and grandchildren will share IN the
estate now held for their benefit by
Messrs. Hepburn, Carr & Krauss, prom
inent attorneys of philadelphia, if they
can be found. If none of these come
forward with proofs of their kinship
to Ann Faith the millions of dollars i'll
hand will revert to cousins and more
distant heirs in Ireland,
Wherever she is aud whatever she
may be doing, Ann Faith, now pour
and bent and close to three score
years and ten. is weighing the two
great problems of her life In the bal
ance. Desire for revenge tits the
scale on the one side, wealth and ease
rock on the other.
great fortune awaits Ann Faith in
Philadelphia. To secure it she must
abandon still hunt for vengeance
that has occupied forty years and more
of her life. She must expose the child
of her misfortune to the gaze of the
cruel world, and above all other trials,
she must stand forth from the veil of
time and declare: "Here am II
Hepburn, Carr & Krauss, have in
, their custody the vast fortune left by
Samuel Faith, brother OF Ann Faith,
who met tragic death in the Post
! Office in Philadelphia in February, 1903.
! When settling up the estate of the de-
, ceased w. Horace Hepburn came upon
documentary records disclosing the
real and greater tragedy of the Faith
family and the SORROWS and humilia-
lions of Ann Faith, which brought her
to the United States from the little
town of Matican, near Garvagh, Ire
land, in the days of the Civil War.
Ann Faith came to the States with
all the fury of woman scorned in
her heart and she journeyed from the
Atlantic to the Pacific and from the
Gulf of Mexico to the wilds of Canada
and British Columbia, seeking the au-
: thor of her ruin and the father of her
child Day by day, week by week and
month by month throughout all these
forty years and more she has kept up
a still hunt for the object of her hate
and at the same time she has held her
self always aloof from all those in
America and ireland who knew her
: when she was the belle of all the dis
+ triet around Kilmoyle.
3 Soon after the departure of Anr
Faith from Matican her brother Sam
uel followed her to the United States
:, and established himself in this city
IL where he accumulated great fortune
8 The other brother remained in the Ole
homestead, and now, unless Ann Faitl
:. comes forward and claims that which
is hers or permits her child to make
Il the claim in her stead, the entire estate
y left by Samuel Faith will go TO tht
l. children of his brother, all of whom
"a are in ireland. Should Ann Faith, o.
her child, or any of her grandchildren
u communicate with Hepburn, Carr
al Krauss, No. 1885 Arch street, Phila
IT delphia, and establish their Relationship
q. with Samuel Faith, one-half of all hi
wealth would be paid over to the claim
a ant at once.
n A most amazing failure of this do
st mestic tragedy is found in the fact tina
II during all the forty years or more which
Ann Faith has devoted to the hunt fo
% the father of her child, she has neve
re once communicated, directly or indi
rectly, with her brother in Philadelphia
" nor with any of her relatives in Ire
81 land. Agents employed to find her b.

" Now that the last known relative o

passed away, save only her own child
Messrs. Hepburn, Carr & Krauss hav
opened up communications with ager
cies in all sections of the country an
