SHE FEARS FORTUNE WILL
RUIN FAMILY’S HAPPINESS
CHICAGO.- —Heir to a fortune of
more than a million dollars, but un
certain if he really can afford to ac
cept the Heritage on account of the
happiness of his family, is the strange
position of Emil Ascher, a retailer of
men’s gloves, who lives contentedly >
with his wife and eight children in a
Prairie avenue flat. 0
His inheritance is the old story ot
the long-lost nephew and the rich
uncle. In the case of Ascher his
uncle died 20 years ago in London,
after accumulating a fortune of great,
magnitude. For these 20 years the
search for Ascher has been almost
■world-wide, and it was only by a
chance that he came to know M his
heritage.
Six months ago Mrs. Ascher t eeclv. i
ed a letter from a friend In Germany
near the place where she was born
saying that a family of the name of
MOTHER SMILES

Houses. Woman Suf
focated in Ruins by Oas.
Entombed by debris when the store
front dwellings at 2322-24 Ctiliewhih
street suddenly collapsed Mrs. Mary
Maeffner, a young mother, raced, with
a smile upon her lips, death that
came to her in a horrible form, be
cause she saw that her slx-weeks-old
bahy, her first-born, had escaped with
out a scratch.
With her slender figure held up
right ny encompassing stone and tim
ber, under the awlnl weight of which
her life was ebbing, last, she kept
her eyes upon the little one, resting
in a baby coach amid heaps of do
bris, until escaping illuminating gns
brought her suffering to an end
Nearly every bone in her body was
afterwards found to be bjoken
As the mother, who was little more
than a girl, died, the bahy began to
cry and her grandaunt, pinned down
in an armchair nearby, forgetting the
pain caused by a broken leg and in
ternal Injuries, tried to soothe her.
It was the grandaunt's hand that
probably saved the child’s life, for
when a heavy hoard, loosened from
above, descended towards the baby's
head, she reached out and thrust it
aside.
The heroism of the young woman
and the grandaunt, whose life in
hanging by a thread to the (larreston
hospital, brought tears to the eyes of
two men who wcj-c digtlng their way
through the debris towards them.
ly mourned She leaves a husband,
Mr. Henry llsher. and an adopted son,
Mr. M. H. Usher.
Funeral services will be conducted
from the residence Wednesday morn
ing at 11 o’clock, and Interment takes
place at the Usher burial ground.

Ascher had fallen heir to a large foi
tune, and that the names of the mem
bers of the family were wanted.
Mrs. Ascber had little idea that her
husband was among those tn become
beneficiaries.
She wrote hack, however, to a cous
in in Berlin, asking him to look into
the report. Monday she received a
letter in which it was stated that
her husband was certain to share the
extent of at least a million In the
Joseph Ascher estate.
Falling heir to a million, howev
did not seem to produce the thrill
in Mrs. Ascher of her family that
might be expected in these commer
cial times. She found cause for dis
pleasure instead of joy, and feared
so much tn her family might disrupt
the prevailing general happiness in
her little fireside.
COOLER TONIGHT,

High Pressure Over At

Mercury To Slump in

"A high pressure caused the cold
wave,” said the pbsorver this morn
ing, “a high pressure over the middle
Atlantic states. It will be noticed
that local minimum temperature
markings are considerably lower than
most of the bureaus In the same lat
tltude report.”
Observer Fisher opines, also, that
the mercury will take another slump
today, not marked, but of sufficient
depression to make "toppers" for men
and coat suits quite pleasantly ap
propriate for the feminine dressers.
The minimum temperature recorded
