The man Is Corne lius Carney, now a resident of Okla homa City, who was thought to have perished In tho San Francisco earth (piako and (Iro in April, 190(. The story ho told In court ran llko this: Ho was born 30 years ago In Troy, N.

In 190(1 oughB is 1,310,421, or 37.2 per cent of there were 1,233,077 members of Christian churches. This was 35.9 pet cent of the population. The figures seem to show that thr growth In church membership Is l.!l per cent ahead of the population growth. This growth, It is estimat ed, Is divided about evenly between Protestants and Homan Catholics. At present It Is calculated that there are 140,783 Protestants to SfiO.tHR Unman Catholics. A remarkable fact In the religious work of tho city hns been the growth of tho Lutheran church, its additional churches Bincc 1855 having been 22 per cent of those built In Greater New York.

Karly in 1900 Carney was in China and wrote home that he was sailing soon for San Francisco. That was tho lust bis relatives heard of him In years. In 190S Mrs. Anna F. tinker, who was Mrs. Carney's sister, died In Chi cago, leaving an estate of $3,000,000, of which a considerable part went to tho Carney children, who had grown up nnd prospered In Troy. To set tle up the estate It was necessary to find Cornelius nllvo or prove him dead, nnd one wns about as hard a tusk as the other. Finally the courts decided Cornelius was dead although he was married and living in Okla homa. Within a short time Cornelius' share in bis nunt'B estate would have gone to Cook county, but Jui.t In the nick of time Cornelius sent a souvenir post card to his sister, Mrs. Lizzie Pratt of Troy, who at onco wrote him that ho was an heir to his aunt's estate.

Almost tho entire residence portion of Klown, a town of more than one thousand inhabitants, is In the grasp of untold millions of nuts. At first tho enrth seemed literally to bo nllvo with them. There were big ants, llt tlo nnts, red nnts, blond nnts and brunette nnts. They nil seemed to be hungry and they got Into tho houses. Not content with the food In the pan tries, they infested carpets, beds, chewed clothing to pieces and oiiiim-iI a great deal of havoc. Openwork stockings nnd porous un derwear hnd to bo abniidnned for closo-knlt clothing by the residents, be cause the ants didn't remain on the floor or In the beds, but swarmed over human beings. In certnln sections of the town fam ilies actually moved out to get away from tho nnts, thinking It was chenper to move than to lose their household goods. Others nro devoting their time to lighting tho pests by fumigating the houses and Inundating the floors. brldgo or to smoke cigarettes within tho charmed walls of the farmhouse.
