BLIND 81 YEARS.
Is RECAININC SIGHT
Mother Of Eleven Children,
Has Only Seen 0ne---HaS
Continued Household
Duties

SYRACUSE, n Y, April 22.--Mrs.
Peter Berger, who became totally
blind 80 years ago, after an opera
ton for catsracts, is regaining her
sight. She can now distinguish the
forms of persons standing against the
light and can see the rays of electric
street lamps and lights in her home
Her physicians say that in few days
she will see as clearly as ever.
Mrs. Berger is the mother of IL
children. She has seen only one OF
them. That was the eldest son, who
died IL years ago Since she became
blind she has attended to all her
household duties and cared for her
children. Mrs. Berger said
Il have prayed nightly and during
the day that my sight shall be re-
stored, so / could see my children
before / passed from this earth.
They have never refused to obey
me and have treated me with the
greatest of kindness Some of them
are married | have often wondered
how the children appeared, and even
at times have pictured each of their
faces in my mind. 1 am sure that I
win not be disappointed In my first
sight of them
Mrs. Berger told the reporter who
talked with her that she could clearly
make out the outlines of his form,
but was unable to distinguish his
features.

SACRAMENTO. Cal, April 22.--
Californias position on the pending
anti-alien land legislation was set
forth in the following statemet Civ
en- to the United Press today by Sem
ator Ernest $. Birdsall of Placer
county, who helped frame and intro
duced the Senate committees substi-
tute bill. This proposed measure is
now ready for final action, a similar
bill already having passed the lower
House of the California Legislature.
BY Senator 4. >. Birdsall, Of Placer
County.
After years of delay in undertaking
this problem of land ownership by
unassimilable aliens for reasons Of
expediency with the same excuses
for inaction offered by succeeding
Legislatures, the people of Califor.
MIA have become impatient OF diplom'
acy and world politics and arc no
longer to be denied in their impera-
tive demand
II must be understood at the out
set that It is not the so-called lingo
element that is back of this antl-alion
land legislation. but first OF all the
farmer. the substantial man upon
whom the state relies for the sub
stance Of its life He has set his
hand to this thing In the same way
that he grips his plow, and he's going
through with It. Either he will get
relief through his legislative repre-
sentative or the question VIII be de-
cided directly by the initiative II
the anti-alien land law went to the
people it would pass by a vote Of
to /.
The two big propositions involve
are these First, have we the right
to enact such legislation? II we
have not, then the act would be auto
matically offset by the constitution
and existing treaty rights.
Second. is this demand by the
whole people of California? Tho

BECAME MISER TO
ATONE FOR CRIME

CHICAGO, April 22.-The dying
confession of Thomas Connolly, ~
years old who died here supposedly
a pauper, was admitted as a will in
the Probate Court
Connolly wrote to a parish priest
I'm Escanaba. Mich, that % years ago
he had robbed woman. now living
there. of $500. To make restitution
was his last wish, and the old man.
supposed to be penniless, had more
than a thousand dollars sewn in his
underclothing for that purpose
His Appeal to "A Priest.
Connolly died January 30, in a
lodging house. The letter, written
three days before his death. was ad-
dressed to the Rev. Father Francis
J. Barth. of Escanaba. The appeal 70
Father Barth to find the woman from
whom Connolly stole the $500 worth
of jewelry a quarter of a century
ago, led to her discovery as Mrs.
Anna Jane Gallagher McCauley. Her
claim for 1874, the value of the
stolen property and accumulated in
terest, will be paid by the public ad-
ministrator from Connelly's funds
which are ample to cover it.
Connelly's letter indicated that he
could not die in peace without con-
Tossing the theft and obtaining abso-
luton.
"Help a Dying Sinner"
He wrote in part:
Rev Father Barth:-I saw your
name in a paper from Escanaba, and
! ask you to help a poor dying sin
ner. I am looking for a lady named
Anna Jane Gallagher, and / hear
she married Patrick McCauley and

lady, and address me at the General

sorry for what I did.
u will send this money to you just
rs soon as I hear from you, and
will die pauper and fast for my sins

THOMAS CONNELLY."
Died Before Answer Came.
Connolly did not live to get his re-
ply. After his death the county au-
ihorities found S1.577 in his pockets
and sewn to his undercolthing. His
letter caused Father Barth to believe
that was all his estate, but the public
administrator also found a safety de-
posit key. and examination of the box
disclosed a handbook with deposits ol
S2.437.

matte Pains Away.
It is needless to suffer any langer
with rheumatism, and be all crippled

heart-wrenching pains, when you can
easily avoid Il.
Rheumatism comes from weak. in
active kidneys, that fail TO filter from
the blood the poisonous waste mat
ter and uric acid; and it is useless to
rub on liniments or take ordinary
remedies to relieve the pain. This
only prolongs the misery and can't
possibly cure you
The only way to cure rheumatism
is to remove the cause. The new dis
covery, Croxone, does this because
It neutralizes and dissolyes the
poisonous substances and uric acid
that lodge in the joints and muscles,
to scratch and irritate and cause
strengthens the stopped-up, inactive
kidneys, so they can filter the poison
from the blood, and drive Il on and
out Of The system.
Croxone is the most wonderful
medicine ever made for curing chronic
rheumatism, kidney troubles, and

There is nothing else on earth like il.
Il matters not how old you are, or
how long you have suffered, It is prac-
tically impossible to take it into the
human system without results You
will find relief from the first few
doses, and you will be surprised how
quickly all your misery and suffering
will end.
