BABE OF HUMBLE ORIGIN IS HEIR
Adopted by Marquis de Montferrieres. OF AMERICAN PARENTAGE. Washington. Dec. 19. Instructions Were received today which doubtless will result in an American child of ob scure and unsantified parentage falling heir to the title ana e3tates of the Marquis de Montferrieres, a scion of one of the richest and most distinguished families in France. The instructions were cabled by the Marquis de Montferrieres following an investigation which has revealed that a beautiful baby boy now being reared iu the nobleman's home is the offspring of a Virginia country girl instead of a Carroll of Carrolltown. The Marquis aiJ Marquise de Montforriers" were without an heir. They ,Tvere desirous of adopting a child, and bejn gadmire-rs of American character, they decided that a babe of American parentage would best preserve the traditions of their house. They communicated their intentions to Mr. and Mrs. Frank Jenkins, of one of the first families of Baltimore. An advertisement inserted in a Baltimore paper furnished a clue to a baby. It read: FOR ADOPTIOX-A healthy, male Infant. Apply to Winchester. Va." Showed Them the Child. The name of the advertiser is not given, but Miss Johnson said that she knew in Winchester, Mrs. Elizabeth S. Paker, a woman active in philantropic work and of excellent social standing. Mrs. Ilaker described the infant, Miss Lowe and Miss Johnson say, as the offspring of a couple in whose veins flowed the best blood of Virginia. Miss Lowe insisted that she must have assurances of the child's honorable birth. Mrs. Baker departed from her rule. Miss Lowe said later, and stated that William Fairfax of collattrar descent from Thomas, Lord Fairfax, was the child's father and that Elizabeth Carroll, of the Carroils of Carrollton, was the mother. Babe Taken to France. .Word of the location of the babe who fulfilled so well the requirements demanded by Mareuis de Mont terrier was sent to him. He replied that he was overjoyed, and gave orders that Hie babe be brought to France with all possible despatch. - Mrs. Baker arrived in Paris six iTnonths ago. The Marquis de Montferrier. showered marks of gratitude upon Mrs. Baker, inviting her to his home. and entertaining her during her flojourn in Paris. U has just been learned thft the babe is of humble origin and that a Virginia country girl is the mother. Foster parents have adopted the child "and will rear it as their own. ILL UNO HUNGRY CHILDREN LAY SIDE BY SIDE IU BED (Continued From Page One.) hours after the woman had been given the money a local grocer called up Mr. Potter android him that a woman sent to his grocery from the trustee's office had purchased a dollar's worth of sutrar. Out of curiosity Mr. Potter that evening ". walked past the woman's lipme, and by. looking through a window he saw her entertaining a number of guests at a "taffy-pulling." Times when these benevolences were plven without investigation have passed, and those who now receive assistancefrom charitable organizations ; have to be worthy. The true condiMlons surrounding their home life is llrst carefully examined before the tmallest donation is made. Generous Heart Touched.
"Say, I would like to know the nameium Friday
- of that family in the northern part of I 'Itichniond that you told about in your paper last night, that is almost destitute of provisions. If you will supply me with the name of the family, I will hitch right up and take a load of provisions down there, for I want to help out in this effort to assist the charitable interests of the city." This is in substance, a message the Palladium received this morning over the telephone from a farmer living north of the city, and is a good example of the numerous inquiries and responses that was referred to the Associat-, ed Charities relative to the family and j he will bring to the city a load of conn-1 try products for distribution among ' the needy. It is considered very significant that a man living outside the city and having no local interests, should thus voluntarily respond to the call.

BLIND TIGER TO HAVE TAIL TWISTED
Arguments on the Merits of The Law Will Be Heard On Friday ' JESSUP ' WILL DEFEND IT. ATTORNEY ROBBINS WILL PEAR AGAINST THE LAW AP-AL-LEGING UNCONSTITUTIONALITY CASE ATTRACTS ATTENTION. Arguments for and against an order of the city court, to have the wine, whiskey, beer and slot machines seizc-d in the Eagles' club room last month destroyed, in accordance with the pro visions of the "Blind Tiger" law, will be heard by Judge Converse Friday morning. Prosecutor Jessup will argue that the "Blind Tiger" law is constitutional and that th court ln compliance with this iaw, has no choice but to order the destruction of the booze and gambling devices now in the hands of the police. Attorney John F. Robbins, who has been retained by the local Eagles aerie, will argue against the issuance of such an order, on the ground that the police had no authority to seize the articles now held by them, it being maintained by Mr. Robbins that the "Blind Tiger" law is not constitutional. It is probable that Judge Converse will order the confiscation of the booze and the slot machines, in which j case his action will be appealed to the j Wayne circuit court. Just what time . the case will be given a hearing in the circuit court is indefinite. Should Judge Fox sustain the ruling of Judge Converse the local Eagles will appeal the case to the aupreme court. It will be some time before the case, which will be watched with interest all over the state, is defnltely decided. In the meantime the articles seixed in the Eagles' club room, will remain in the custody of the police. In the event the supreme court is called upon to make a decision in this case and it rules in favor of the Eagles, the wine and whiskey returned by the police to that organization, will have greatly Increased in value the old saying having it that time improves good booze. OLD CONVICT IS LOST OUTSIDE PRISON WALLS Franz Hoffman Paroled and Goes to New York. IN SING SING 47 YEARS. New York, December 19 Franz Hoffman is in New York after fortyseven years spent in Sing Sing prison. With him is Thomas O'Shea, who has served twenty-two years in the prison. Both are at the home of the Volunteers of America, where Mrs. Maud Ballington Booth, known to the Sing Sing prisoners "as "Little Mother," promises to care for them. Both have been paroled, having been sentenced to imprisonment for life. The two men were brought to New York by the warden of the prison, to whom they stuck closely imtll they were turned over to Mrs. Booth. Hoffman says he has not a friend in the world, and is afraid to be alone outside the gray walls that are the only home he knows. GLUTEN IS LIGHT IN WHEAT GRAINS Millers of Richmond Say They Are the Losers. IS TEN POUNDS LESS. "What is the matter with the flour:'' This is the question being asked by every "dusty miller" in tne city at pres ent. Ever since the grinding of new wheat at the local flouring mills began this year, ten more pounds has been required to the barrel than last year. The problem is being discussed in milling circles. When asked relative to the loss per barrel, a local miller said "While I am no scientist, yet T believe that the loss in wfiVht i n-of to a smaller amount of the white pro-' uuti iu lue nciuns, tummumy caueu r giuieu. uub lue iet-s amount OI , white" in a grain of wneat of this year's product is not distinguishable with that of last year, yet in the aggregate of thousands of grains in a barrel, the difference amounts to about ten pounds.

There are a number of preachers living in the vicinity of Richmond who will probably be placed in very embarrassing positions one of these days if they do not get busy and send in returns for marriage ceremonies they have performed . The law ot Indiana requires the magistrate or clergyman who officiates at a wedding to make a return of the same to the county clerk within three days. The magistrates are, as a rule, prompt in doing this, but there I have been many marriages performed ln the county for which the clerk's record has no return. The law fixes a penalty of from $5 to $100 fine for failures of this character. Last July the publication of a list of names of parties who had been granted licenses and of whose marriage there was no record, resulted in many old returns being made, but there are still a good many missing.
