HHICAGO.-lAn unusual story of a
v lost heir to a S3,OOO,OOO estate,
whose chance mailing of a souvenir
post card will bring him 100000,
was revealed in the probate court
the other day. The man is Corne-
ius Carney, now a resident of Okla
homa City who was thought to have
perished in the San Francisco earth
quake and fire in April, 1906.
The story he told in court ran
like this: He was born 30 years ago
in Troy, ~ Y, a member Of a large
family whose head, John Carney, was
for more noted for his convivial hab-
It's than for his thrift and industry.
Consequently the little Carneys found
life in Williams street alley a strug-
gle in which dirt and want were daily
factors. After being very bad for a
long time the condition of the Carney
family became worse, and Cornelius
was sent to a children's asylum.
There wasn't much in life in Will
liams street alley but liberty-there
was plenty of that-and the cOmpara-
tive comfort of the asylum couldn't

NEW YORK.-That the New York
~ city government has, in some ways
at least, kept pace with the city's
growth as shown In the census re-
turns is manifest from a budget study
compiled by the city statisticians. The
census returns show an increase In
the population Of 3S.7 per cent. In the
same ten-year period the city budget
has grown from $90,77S,972 to $163,'
O30,27O-an increase of over "a per
cent The figures estimated for the
expenditure of the actual city, as
apart from the county, were for 1900
S79,201 ,763 and for 1910 S15S,775, ,145,
or "a per cent increase.
The increased cost In the city gov
ernment is partly accounted for, ac.
cording TO the budget officials, by the
widened scope of municipal enterprise.
For example, ten years ago the domes-
tic relations courts in Manhattan and
Brooklyn, the special schools for de-
fective children or tuberculosis pa
tents and the establishment of play
grounds were entirely outside the gen.
eral conception Of what the city gov
ernment should do
The expense Of maintaining the
city's police force has increased more
than q third in the decade. The board
of education now requires twice as
much as in 1900-$2S, q 100000, instead

in 1906 Carney was in China and wrote

In 1908 Mrs. Anna f. Baker, who
was Mrs. Carneys sister, died in Chi
cago, leaving an estate Of S3,000000,
of which a considerable part went to
the Carney children, who had grown
up and prospered in Troy. To set.
tie up the estate it was necessary to
find Cornelius alive or prove him
dead, and one was about as hard a
task as the other Finally the courts
decided Cornelius was dead-although
he was married and living in Okla
hOma.
Within a short time Cornelius share
in his aunt's estate would have gone
to Cook county, but just in the nick
of time Cornelius sent a souvenir post
card to his sister, Mrs. Lizzie Pratt of
Troy, who at once wrote him that he
was an heir to his aunt's estate. In
court Carney proved his heirship and

towns in Harper county tell of the
visits of the ants.
Almost the entire residence portion
of Kiowa, a town Of more than one
thousand inhabitants, is In the grasp
of untold millions of ants. At first the

with them. There were big ants, lit

chewed clothing to pieces and caused
q great deal of havoc.
Openwork stockings and porous un
derwear had to be abandoned for
close-knit clothing by the residents, be
cause the ants didn't remain on the
floor or in the beds, but swarmed over
human beings.
In certain sections Of the town fam
lilies actually moved out to get away
from the ants, thinking it was cheaper
to move than to lose their household
goods. Others are devoting their time
to fighting the pests by fumigating tho
houses and inundating the floors.

fessor Barnard frightened up percep-
