Girls write for his photograph, widow3 claim hiin as their long losts on, trainps alloge relationship, aud clergymeu shower down i their cheap benedictious and beseech ! hira to " come down." In one week the i amount askcd for amounted to $5,! 000,000, and ran all the way f rom $100 to $100,000. A Baltimore pauper re quests that his particoiar ïl0,000 be "sent by express.' Young ladies tease the mill'ionaire for birthday present, and old ladks express their gratitude iu advance, and all that that implie.s. Of couvse none of tlie letters are answercd, but the niO3t stnking are printed ín a San Francisco paper that hits an eye to ! the comic.
