Sept. 19.—1 t will be come a practical impossibility for any man or baby in the United States “lose his identity" if a plan proposed by Captain Joseph A. Faurot. of the identi fication bureau of the New York police, and favorably discussed by members of the American Medical association is adopted. The plan is to record the finger prints of every baby born in America. Copies of these prints would be kept in the coun ty seat of the county in which the child was born, and also in a national identi fication bureau at Washington. It is declared that with such a system properly developed there would be no such thing as burying “unidentified” people; that no citizen could conceal his real Iden tity unless by the heroic method of cut ting off the tips of his fingers. Prints from baby fingers, says The Journal of the American Medical Asso ciation, "w ill absolutely identify the in- I dividual from the cradle to the grave. | The print of the baby and its mother differ unmistakably. The measurement will be enlarged with growth, but other wise they never change." "Among the many advantages of such a plan," says The Journal, "would be the possibility that the numberless unfortu nates found dead might be identified. This system might solve those puzzles which aphasia and insanity are constantly presenting cases continually increasing in number by reason of the great strain of our present-day civilization. The crime of desertion might be prevented were the mother’s and her infant’s finger tips printed on the same card. The finger | printing of policy-holders would prevent fraudulent death claims."

NEW YORK. Sept. 19.—Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt, suzerain of the j much-moneyed house by virtue of his father's will, which nullified the usual operation of primogeniture, is keenly awaiting two events. The first, one that will bind him more closely to his charming bride, who was Mrs. Smith Hollins McKim, is expected almost mo ■ mentarily. Mr. anad Mrs. Vanderbilt ■are quartered in their houseboat on the Thames awaiting the birth of the expected heir. As soon after the birth of the child as the young mother’s condition per mits, Mr. and Mrs. Vanderbilt will take passage for America, where on Octo- I ber 20 the former will celebrate his ' thirty-fifth birthday. On that day the I young man will takV rank with the real financial giants of America, for he will then automatically come into possas sion of a sum estimated tit $25,000,000. Thus the young man, at the age of 35 years, becomes one of the financial powers of the country. In the course i of his brief career he has been twice I married. His first wife was Elsie I'Tonch Vanderbilt, by whom he had one child. His marriage to Mrs. Mc- Kim took place last year. Provisions of the Will. This sum which he will get on Octo ber 20 represents the half of Vander- I bilt’s patrimony willed to him by his i father, Cornelius Vanderbilt. The sev enteenth provision of the remarkable document, in which the then head of the powerful family of American mil lionaires cut off his eldest son, Cor nelius, Jr., with a "paltry” $1,500,000, read as follows: Seventeenth—All the rest, rest- . due and remainder of the estate, including all lapsed legacies and the principal of annuities, is given to the executors in trust, t» hold and invest and reinvest and collect rents, incomes and profits for the use of his son, Alfred G., and to pay to him the net income as re ceived until he becomes 30, when he is to come into possession of one-half of said estate, the in come of the balance to be paid to him as before until he becomes 35, when he is to come into full pos session thereof. On October 20, 1907, A. G. Vander bilt came into possession of $25,000,000, the firqt half of his patrimony. He will, therefore,’on October 20 next be com plete and outright master of $50,000,000, together with his surplus income, which is estimated at several millions more. Thus this smooth-faced, young Amer ican will possess a fortune approxi mating that of the Phippses, the I Moores, the Reids, the Goulds and the I Archbolds, whose fortunes range from ■ $50,000,000 to $150,0011,000. Not in the First Rank. Mr. Vanderbilt's fortune, however, can hardly be placed in tile “stupen dous" class. According to figures re cently complied by Boston economics, the leading nine fortunes In America rank as follows: John D. Rockefeller $1,000,000,000 Andrew Carnegie 500,000,000 J. P.

VA., Sept. 19.—She teaches Sunday school in the little Dunkard church over the Carolina line from Hillsville, Va., and the children adore her. She's pretty with the whole some prettiness of the mountain coun try. and gentle with the gentleness of the educated mountain woman. But she stands today as the sole defender of "Wes" Edwards, accused as the most desperate gunman of the "Allens,” ar rested in lowa as one of the slayers in the Hillsville court house tragedy, and believed by many to be on a swift way to the prison death house. She alone defends him—Maude Irola who was engaged to marry him before he lied with his clansmen on that dan gerous night after Judge Thornton Massie had been shot to death on the bench and Sheriff Webb and Common wealth Attorney Foster killed. She Believes in "Gun Rights.” Site defends him, not as a Northet n woman would do—not saying that he is innocent, and that, because he is tender toward her, he could not do so terrible a deed. She says merely this: "Do 1 think he was guilty? Why. 1 I don't see how that can make any dif ference. On6e in a w hile every man who thinks anything of himself has to draw his gun. and you can't always fell who’s right and who’s wrong. "Anyhow." she adds, "whether ’Wes' was right or w rong, I belonged to him, and. right or wrong. I'll stick to him.” It Is not one of the dull, half-clois tered mountain girls who speaks: It is one of those who have gone out of the mountains, have gained independence, ven a certain culture. But the blood of the mountain clans will always tell. She would teach her Sunday schoo' pupils the law of the outer world; but she would tell her sweetheart, it seems, to kill whomsoever offends his honor. Didn’t Betray Them. They brought Maude Iroler back from Dos Moines with Wesley Edwards and Sidna Allen, who were arrested in the lowa city after being hunted by Bald win detectives for three months. The girl—she is only nineteen—de nied. almost threateningly, that she I had bestrayed the fugitives. Site had | merely gone to Des Moines to wed Ed wards and show that her faith in him was supreme. Nobody doubts that this is true. "I didn't tell a soul where 1 was go ing." she said in explaining iter flight from Hillsville. "My‘mother thought I was going over to Mount Airy to see Aunt Jane. I couldn’t have any way of knowing I was followed, could 1? I allow it iust had to be. I don't think I d be a witness, because 1 don't know any thing about that .shooting.” Uncle Ezra Says "It don't take tnore'n a gill uv effort to git folks into a peck of trouble" and a little neglect of constipation, bilious ness. indigestion or other liver de rangement will do the same.
