Woodruff Estate Falls
Far Short of Millions

NEW YORK July 2O.-The popular
belief that Timothy L. Woodruff pos
sessed millions when he died seems
to have bsen i'll founded Latest esti-
mates put the net estate of $300.0O
perhaps a little more. The exact
amount will depend largely On tic
condition of the stock market when
the estate is appraised, as much of
the property left by Mr. Woodruff is
in stocks and bonds.
Stock quotations are not RESPONSE
BILE for the big slump in his estate,
however. They merely indicate a
shade more or less in the sum total.
Debts incurred by Mr.. Woodruff in
swinging his many business enter
prises at a time when things were
slack are said to have cut at least
s1.000,000 from the Woodruff fortune
1t was these demands undoubtedly
that impelled Mr.. Woodruff TO dis
pose of his Kamp Kill hare in the
Adirondacks. The camp sold to Al
fred G. Vanderbilt shortly before Mr.
Woodruff's death. on October u. rep
resented an outlay of about s400, 900.

Land of Long Words

Humboldt once said that nothing in
Mexico strikes Europeans more forci-
bly, than the excessive length of the
words. This length, moreover, does
not always depend on their being
compounded, as in the Greek, the
German or the sanskrit. Thus the
Mexican word for that simple thing,
a kiss. is tetennamiquiliztli
But that Is nothing says Mr.
Char es W. Domville-Fife in his book
ON Guatemala, to what the Central
American can do. His best efforts
eclipse even Shakespeare's often quot
ed abilitudinitatibus.' in
Loves Labour's Lost" for if you
wish to call the boy who carries
newspapers, you have but to murmur
observation-disclosures . and
he may possibly come.

War to Save Lawns in
Newark.

From many sections of the city to-
day reports are coming in that the
army worm is causing damage to

The army worm. no matter how hun

streets had tcen invaded by these
pests. Barbara, Hillside. North Sixth.
North Ninth. South Twelfth and
Baldwin streets and sixth and rhir-
teenth avenues Previous complaints
had come from Treacy avenue,
Chestnut street and Nairn place.
Although trees are the real object

sole purpose for which they ask APP
uropriafions. they nevertheless lend
their aid in the warfare against the
army worm. as no other city depart
ment is so well equipped 10 meet an
emergency of the kind

an incident to their own proper work,
they will spray the grass lettuce and

The Holsters have wonderful coats of

which crabs when at rest tuck their

.PATMONT FOUND
IN WISCONSIN
|Ex-Newark Mission Worker
Last Disappeared from Detroit
Five Weeks Ago.

| MIL WAUKEE, July 20.--That Rev.
Louis r. Patmont, whose two mys-
terious disappearance of the last few
months have caused widespread in
terest, has been found at Rib Lake,
Wis, was substantiated by a tele-
gram from that place received by
James o. Clarke, of this city, last
night.
The telegram was from a clergyman
named Stone, at whose home in Rib
Lake the temperance worker has been
visiting since he disappeared from
Detroit on June II. The message was
substantiated by a statement from G.
l.. Milton jr. a son of Rev. G.. l..
Milton. who went to Rib Lake yester
day. He said his father recognized
Patmont.
Patmont disappeared first from the
vicinity of West Vile, ILL.,. and was
found in a destitute condition near
Columbia, Ill He was removed to
Detroit, and on the eve of departure
for st. Louis to attempt Identification
of alleged abductors he disappeared a
second time. Charges have been made
that Patmont's disappearance were
due to plots of liquor interests to re-
move him from prohibition campaign
work These charges have not been
verified.
Gordon Knapp, of Milwaukee, who
went to Rib Lake with Rev. Mr.. Mil
ton to verify the identification of
Patmont, said on his return here to-
day that he talked with Mr.. Patmont
yesterday, and, while he is a changed
man i'm every way. there is no doubt
as to his identity. According to Knapp,
Mr.. Patmont told a rambling story of
his dropping from sight in Detroit and
his wanderings since June 10. He said
strange man warned him if he did
not leave Detroit he surely would be
killed. After travelling about the
country, visiting Kansas City, Min
neapolis and other cities, and suffer-
ing intense mental agony, he finally
reached the lumber regions of north
ern Wisconsin.
Knapp said Patmont's nerves seem
badly shattered. He is in constant
fear someone is following him and
his life, and at times APP
pears to be in a state of mental coma
In a lucid moment he recognized Mr..
Milton. and inquired as to the well
fare of his wife and children in De
troit.
Patmont reached Rib Lake Satur-
day morning, coming from Chelsea.
He was wearing a suit of black
clothes and his face was covered with
a heavy growth of beard. whereas
formerly he was always smooth !
shaven.
Rev Louis r. Patmont some
months ago was head of Ruthenian /
mission on Richmond street He was
in the city only short time and left /
