. The Earl of Plnton had throe sons
and two daughters, Tlie estate being
etitntled, It was necessary for the ttvo
Junior eons to shift for themselves and
foe the daughters to be married.' The
iroungost son, Edgar Crafts, realizing
that with two brothers ahead of bin'
there was little or no chance of his
coming into the title, left for Australia.
For a time he corresponded 'with, his
family mut with Lucy Harmon, " to
whom he was attached and who was
attached to him, but since fortune did
not attend his efforts the eorrcpond
ence was finally dropped by reluctant
mutual consent.
The earl died about ten years after
Edgar's departure. His oldest eon suc
ceeded him, married, but bad no chil
dren. The second son died before the
first while still a bachelor. Then the
oldest eon tho earl died. Meanwhile
Edgar had not been heard from hi
many years, lie was' forty years old
when the title Tell to him if . ho were,
olive. Advertisements for him were
put in the Australian papers, but
elicited no response. After n two
years' fruitless hunt the title was giv
en to another branch of the family.
; One lay a man' purporting to be
Edgar Crafts appeared and claimed
the title and the estates. He said he
was forty-three, but looked fifty. He
was swarthy and gray and bald. Arch
ibald Crafts, the incumbent, at once
took the ground that be wag an Im
postor. One of the claimant's sisters,
who was still living, did not believe
him to be her brother. The quick eye
of love saw what others could not or
would not see. Lucy Harmon, who
had not married, at once recognized
him ns her lover. If she had not done
eo, he would have goon convinced her.
There was no way for Edgar Crafts
to qpnie into hia rights except by suit
In a court of law. But he had no mon
ey. He claimed that he had gone from
Australia to Uracil, where he had made
a fortune and 'lost it. There did not
seem to be a ghost of a chance for his
winning a case, but Lucy Harmon,
who had come into a small fortune
during his absence, offered to risk It
for his sake. lie declined, but they
finally determined to be married, and
then suit was begun.
One would suppose that there would
be many ways of proving a man's Iden
tity. So there are. But unfortuuately
there are as many ways of proving
that he Is not the man be claims to be.
There was but one likeness of Edgar
Crafts extant taken when he was eight
een years old, and tlmt looked very
little like him. He and tho likeness
were brought before disinterested per

gar Craftswrittn8oon after" ETls "de
parture, but they were not alike. Out
of three experts only one pronounced
the two to have been written by the
enme person. The preponderance of
evidence was against the-clatmant.
Donald Beardslee the barrister who
had charge of the claimant's case, was
much interested in It, He believed the
man to be what ho purported to be
largely because Lacy Harmon believed
In him. Beardslee had been working
bard on the case one day without suc
cors and was sitting in his smoking
room at home after dinner racking his
Ingenuity for the morrow when a man
was announced, who gavo his name as
Patrick Noonan. He was shown Into
the smoking room. .
"Well, who are you?" asked the bar
rister, 'And what can I do for you?"
"I'm an old servant ia the service of
the Plnton family, sir."
The barrister pricked up his ears.
"And I want to tell you about Mr.
Edgar, sir. The man as has come back
Is him."
"How do you know?"
"I can smell him."
"Smell him? What do you mean?
You're, not a dog."
"I know. the smell of all the late
carl's family."
The next morning Noonan visited
the barrister at bis office. A few daya
later Beardslee, who had ransacked
the scientific libraries, summoned Noo
nan for a witness, but before tatting
his testimony read the following to the
jury from a German Archive of physi
ology: Every human being has a specific odor
f his own by which he can bo ree.ogmiied
by persons ot sensitive smell. The caso
la mentioned of a man who blindfolded
could pick out each Individual in a com
pany of twenty by his odor. The amell
Is not born with us, but develops, grad
ually till about the mge ot fourteen, after
which it remains unchanged. Members
of a family have a kind of common odor
which exists -even when they have lived
apart for a long time. .
Beardslee with this preface blind
folded Noonan and brought people to
him to smell, asking him If each waa
Edgar Crafts. The fifth person brought
to him was the sister who did not be
lieve the claimant was her brother.
Noonan pronounced her one of the
Crafts family. The fifteenth person
led up was the claimant. Noonan pro
nounced him Edgar Crafts.
That ended the Craf ta case, and Ed
gar Crafts, earl of Plnton, and his
countess were put into possession of
the title, and estates. But the earl
never likes, to have the fact referred to
that he was proved to be an earl by
hJa smell. C. MORRISON TRIPP.

HOIIEST .MEDICINE
TRY DR. WILLIAMS' PINK PILLS
FOR STOMACH TROUBLE.
Convincing Evidence Supported by a
Guararttaa That Must Convinc
The Most Skaptlcal.
Dr. Williams' Pink PUls are a doctor'
prescription, nsed by an eminent prac
titioner, and for nearly a' generation
known as a reliable household remedy
throughout the United States. Need
less to say, no advertised medicine could
retain popular favor for so long a period
without having great merit and it is tho
invaluable curative properties ef the pills
that nave made them a standard remedy
in every civilized country in the world.
Added to this is the absolute guarantee
that the pills contain no harmful drug,
opiate, narcotic or stimulant. A recent
evidence of their efficacy is found in the
statement of Mrs. N. E. Whitley, of
Bosley j Ark. , who says :
"I had suffered for a good many years
from stomach trouble. For a long time
I was subject to bad spells of f&tntness
and lack of breath accompanied by an
indescribable feeling that seemed to
start in my stomach. Whenever I was
a little -run -down or over-tired, these
spells would come on. They occurred
frequently bnt did not last very long.
"I was confined to my bed for ten
weeks one time and the doctor pro
nounced my trouble chronic inflamma
tion of the stomach and bowels. Since
that time I have been subject to the
fainting spell and at other times to flut
tering of the heart and a feeling as
though I waa smothering. My general
health was very bad and I waa weak and
trembling.- -. ,
"I had seen Dr. Williams' Pink Tills
mentioned in the newspapers and de
cided to try them. When I begfan taking
the pills I was so run-down in strength!
that I could hardly do any housework.
Now I conld walk ten miles if feeoessary.
Both my husband and myself think Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills the 'best medicine
made and we always recommend the
pill to enr friends." ' ;
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills actually make
new blood and give strength and tone to
every part of the body. They have
cured serious disorders of the blood and
nerves snch as riieninatism, sciatica,
anaemia, nervousness, headaches, partial
paralysis, locomotor ataxia, St. Vitus'
dance and many forms of weakness in
either sex. They are sold by all drug
gists or will b sent, poet paid, on receipt

Shanghai, China, 'April 13. Tele
grams received' here from twenty point
in the famine - district, report that the
conditions are (trowing woifee. ' The
Chine government and people up to
date have contributed more than $1,
000,000 for - relief, and the sunn re
ceived from all foreign sources total
$j00;ono, including the supplier on their
way here from America. The Chinese
viceroy and governor telegraphed today
to the American consul, 3dr. Jtodgers,
their thanks for the relief sent, Baying
it isi dissipating the anti-foreign senti
ment whieh animated the, masses.
There arc fifty missionaries with the
higher cia Chinese eng-tyjed' in oer
seeing the relief distribution. - Confu
cianiots, Catholic and l'rou'-tants are
working 1 og-t her. Tiie tslejirajih of
fieilaU arc tarrying free uiesHjie ta

intended for ' the nufferen.. Twenty

ed in buildinjr (l(itr.t and canuU to pre
vent a recurrence of the tlood.-f.
The relief committee here is promptly
sending supplies to tire front, but the
funds are Hearing exhaust ion. All the
relief mcaMtre adopted up to date are
inadequate. ' Ten - million - person are
suffering ' from; inadequate. .-supplies of
food and three million are Hearing star
vation. -
The members of the committee at the
front report that they find the bodies
of he eutTerers bloated and that their
face turn green or black as the result
c starvation. Tho people are pulling
up the growing crops of food. Whole
families have been found dead in their
houses and corpses are seen lying by
the roadside. . Probably. 5,000 "perwm
are dying daily from starvation.
A few cases of rioting for food have
occurred and cannibalism is beginning
to be rejiorted. Newly-made graves
have been rifled of the bodies and par
ents are exchanging their children to
be eaten. A dollar, the relief committee
reports will 6ave one life until the har
vest, June 23, and 110,000,000 is needed.
The whole amount cannot be raised in
China.
The situation is dcoperate, and Ameri
cans are urged to give $.1,000,000 within
the next three weeks not for Christian,
but for humsntsrian work. It is rag
gcpled that it would be best to cable
money to the American consul here,
JameH Linn Rodger, as supplies can be

former U of .Montpeiier, who is on the

Mr. Uingliaiii endeavored to xpeak to
fudge Miles privately yesterday after
noon, but this could not be giiintod, as
it was contrary to custom to allow the
jurors to talk" with anybody privately
while sitting on a criminal cse.
During the afternoon Judge .Miles wiid
he understood one of the jurymen had
something to suv io him, and explained
I hnt it would lc contrary to niles to
talk privately with a juror on a state
ra.je, snd that if ho had anything to say
it could-he aid in open court.
; Tiiiu put it up to Mr. Jtingham, who
then got upon his feet and in a few
words bluntly atated.

The situation was a mortifying one.

CAUSES AN EXCI1ING SCENE
Accusing Speeches Heard Ironical
Laughter Greets the Statment That
the Rusian Courts Are Above
Suspicion.
St. Petersburg, April 13. A demand
for the .exclusion from Parliament o
three .Socialist deputies, pending their
trial for political offenses, was submitted
to the lower hou-e of Parliament by
the minister of justice, M. (Titcheglovit-
olf, at yesterday's session, and immedi
ately caused an outburst of excitement
and indignation.
The prosecutions of the deputies have
been instituted in the provincial courts
for act committed before the convoca
tion of Parliament. Two of the arcued
men L. F. Gems, a teacher and Social
Revolutionist of Kuban, and A. A. Kuz
Betsoft, a Social Democrat of fcimbrisk
are charged with being Socialists, and
therefore members of a party content
plating the overthrow of the state. The
third A. ft. Kupslas, a peasant land
owner of Kevna, who was returned as
a member of the Left party is charged
with making revolutionary speeches.
The Constitutional Democrats, who
arc anxions to avoid a heated discussion
on the floor, proposed to refer the minis
ter's demand to committee, but the
Socialists and Social Revolutionist in
sis4ed on an immediate. Hat' refusal, in
order to place the I!oue on record
against the classification as crimes of
such acts as the three deputies are
chstged with committing.
M. Alexinxky, SK'ial Democrat of St.
Petersburg, in a heated speech, pointed
out that a recognition of the minister's
right, to demand the deputies exclusion
might lead to the exclusion of a third
of the membership of the House.
The minister of justice then arose to
defend hi demand. He declared that
the law clearly provided for the tempo
rary suspension of deputies indicted for
criminal acts. The House, he insisted,
had no diKcretifin in the matter. He
added that the Russian courts were above
suspicion, a statement which was greet
ed with ironical 'laughter.. . ,
The Constitutional Democratic reso
lution to refer the demand of the min
ister of justice to a committee, which
was opposed by both t lie Socialists and
government, was finally carried by a
slender majority of 197' to 175 votes.
, On account of the increasing mass of
committee work, a resolution abolishing
morning sessions was adopted yestetday,
and the House in future will begin busi
ness at 2 in the afternoon.

Kir Robert Ball, professor of astronomy
at Cambridge, England, delivered an ad
dress on tiie "solution of s Great Sci
entific Dilliculty." He said that in the
process of tho contraction of the sun
from infinity to its regent bulk the eun
would yield ha present amount of heat
by contraction for only 9,520,000 vears.
But Prof. Joly had shown it would re
quire 100,000,000 ycarsi for the earth's
water to turn from fresh to salt.
Therefore, he concluded ; that there
must be some source of energy ia the
sun much greater than that arising from
contraction. This source, he said, was
found in the movement of corpuscle 3 of
matter at the velocity of ligh. A small
quantity of these part icles, such as radi
um, would produce a tremendous energy,
and heat. ;
