The object of sending this lac-age is
to demonstrate the triumph of electricity
over distance. Telegraph wires and cables
reach new to nearly all parts of the world.
and some of then make single lumps of

The wonderful ex: critics of all the

that 416 miles is rolnparotlvely nothing

Coallanons Current Around the World.

tion, will he telegraphed from Madison
Square Garden over 24,000 miles of cable

There, borne alonglby the power of Niaga-

Bombay, across lndla to Madras. and un.
dcr water again to Singapore, on the Ma-
Iay peninsula. The next place it will be
heard of is in a desolate spot on the north-
ern shore of Australia, and then in Mel.
bournc and Sydney. .,
if there was a cable under the Pnclfll
ocean, Dr. llepow's eplgrmu could make u
circuit of the world complete by a long
dive under the sea to San Francisco, but
that cannot be done. So the message will
rebound on its trall. and by running along
the cart court of Africa roach Cape Town.
Then it will jump to Lislum again and
start across the Atlantlcocean loPornmnr

“m. Dopow was selected to send this
message." said Mr. llawlay, “llccuuse his
fame has spread throughout the world
more perhaps than that of any living
American. We concluded. too, that if he
could not clear the track for a grand lly-
lug tour of the world then no one ols
muld. The various toll-graph and cable
mmpanlcs have generously entered into
the project,~nnd the message will demon-
strate the great pom-rs of electricity in
this direction."

intestine Gsudla 0f Woodelll! in this
county, after years of hard work, has end-
denly found herself heiress to lie enormous
fortune of "7.000.000-
of this miraculous turn in
fortune's wheel is surrounded by circum-
stances of a most dramatic nature. Hale}
Gaudln was born in the midst of the
Pyrenees mountains about bl! years one.
Her rnsldsn nanrswar Eglanllne Marla
Emanuel. She was left a widow when
use
; quite young and found heresll almost pen-
nlless. ller aunt-ad godmother at that
time lived in California. and by the asslvtr
once of an American lady named Loom
Jackson she came to this country. On
her srrlvnl here she very quickly discovered
the dilllcuity, amounting alluostto an im-
possibility, of finding her godmother.
She therefore at once set about earning
her own living as s dressmakcr. By the
‘ old of letters of introduction from Ameri-
' can ladies she had met in France she soon
surrounded herself with a line custom
and worked for many wealthy and fash-
ionable women in this city.
Age and ill health at length overtook
her, and out of her savings she bought it
piece of land at Woodclltl', where in an
evil hour she entered into a contract with
a building society for a house. For some
reason the contractor has not fulfilled his
contract and the house Is not completed.
During the more winter just past the
water flooded the lower part of the build.
ing. and she was nearly frozen out.
The poor woman's funds had nearly run
out. and had it not been for the assistance
of kind friends“ it is dogrhtful if she would
have survived the priv‘ntlon and exposure
' she had experienced. ‘
Inquiries as to "or Identity.
A stranger came to her house sfcu
weeks ago and made some rather pointed
inquiries or to her identity, her maiden
name, her relatives. the place of her birth
and her parentage. 'l'hls stranger proved
to be something in the nature of a fairy
godfather. He was a lawyer from Califorv
j aid, the legal representative and execute!
of the will of Mrs Emilie Plnaud, nee
Dampord, formerly of France, afterward
of South America, but more recently at
California.
It appears that this lady, who was the
lost godmother of Mrs. Gnudln, hall mar-
ried a man named l’iunml while in France
and had gone with him to South America.
where he engaged in the tanning buri‘
near, thereby making a huge fortune.
which ho had very carefully invested.
There was one child of this union.
Around this child the whole of this
story turns. Had it never been born Mrs.
llaudin would have remained poor and al-
most homeless and would have had no or
pcclntlun nor realization.
According to the law of France, a law
which prevails in Louisiana to this day
and in some parts of Great Britain under
tho'title of the ”law of Gsvelklnd," the
birth of a child leaves the widow absolute
possessor at his death of one-half of her
husband's fortune. Andre Pinnud died
worth 831,000,000.
Mrs. Gandin is heiress to her aunt and
godmother, and her fortune is therefore
017,000,000.
Andre Piunud had a nephew and n niece.
The nephew was Joseph Francois Plnsud.
a married man, with two sons, Andre and
Henri. Their father became a missionary
on the death of his wife and died sums
years ago in China. These two sons,
therefore, inherit between thclu the sum
of 88, 500,000.
The nlecc married a Mr. Neutrenbcrgcl
and followed his fortunes. She has not
since been heard of. She alone of thl
heirs is now missing, and the executors
are seeking her in order that they may
udmlnlstor the enormous estate in their
hands.
of course Mrs. Gaudln's sudden cllnngl
of fortune has spread like wildfire all
around the vicinity of Woodcllil. and sin
has had numerous offers of marriage do
spite her fill and odd years. She holds her
tongue ,us to her intentions, but l’lllllflrkt
that there are friends whose kindness dur
lug her troubles null poverty she can novel
repay. and she will remember them first.
Her own wants are small. She will tum
no difficulty in sotlsfylngthem,
