Summer residence at 2o5 First avenue
Asbury Psrk, has been notified that ar
estate Of 100000 had been left her by
her grandfather, Oscar Lewis, who
died In Montana fifteen years ago.
Mrs. Adler was traced through q

four years ago, thinking he was still
alive. The card bore a photograph of
the Asbury Park Presbyterian church.
The executors Of Mr.. Lewis estate,
which amounted to 100000, had
been searching for her for years. They
learned of the postcard, which had
gone to the dead letter Office, and the
Rev, DR.. S. B. Ross, pastor of the AS
bury Park church, easily established
Mrs. Adler's identity and gave her
address to the executors.
She was not excited by the news of
her good fortune.
II have no idea what l shall do with
the money" laughed Mrs. Adler, 81
haven't had time to think about It"
The grandfather had his money in
vested In Manchester, England, but
spent the latter years of his life in the

Seminole, but were unheard and IN
seen in the dark. Captain Perry says
1t is against the religion Of the Holy
Ghost and Us society, Of which those
on board the Coronet are members, to
talk with men of the world.
"Our sufferings are our own" he
said, land the public is not interested
in reading about US in the papers, We
go our way without asking questions"
Captain Perry, who commanded the
barkentkne Kingdom, on which the
Holy Ghost and Us society embarked
for Africa and which was wrecked
last May, declares he mtstook the
mouth Of the Salem river for the Gam
bra and ran on a sandbag. The thir-
ty-seven men and women N board es-
capped IN two boats and took refuge
on the Coronet.
I'VE sailed to the coast of South
America and then started back to Port
land, Me-" Captain Perry said. 1--WE

States, this one smiling in life, bis
hand resting on a table surrounded
by representatives Of three great pow
ers Of the world.
The dead n OF the wall told its
story Of war ended, the scene being
enacted at the opposite side of the
room marked the formal pledgipg by
France, Great Britain and the United
States Of their faith in the subsutu-
ton Of arbitration for bloodshed In
the settlement of all international dis
putes.
The two treaties, the first of their
kind ever entered into by any two ma
tons in the world, were signed. The
informally and simplicity Of the cere-
mony added to its impressiyeness.
President Taft, Immediately after
the signing of the treaties, affixed his
signature to the messages of trans
initial, which completed arrangements
for sending the pacts to the senate.
The treaties were sent to the upper

boy emperor, who. 1t was found, had
gorged himself with meal of swal-
lows nests Ia sort of glutinous mate
riaD and thus provoked raging
thirst. The indisposition yielded cas-
lily to the doctors treatment.
THE emperor" he says. sleeps in
a gigantic bed. big enough for six
people. He rises at six o'clock, at
once has meal Of rice and Cruel or
rice, and then goes to pay his re-
spects to the Dowager Lunk-yu, who
is on most affectionate terms with
him. Even his own father and moth.
er have to kneel to him when they
visit him.
"A Chinese nurse named Mrs. Chang,
aged forty-three. carries him about all
day and sleeps in small bed by the
side Of his. The emperor's rooms are
full Of expensive toys.
