was an unadulterated fraud, and didn't

couldn't take the raw material with him,
unless it was done op in tire -proof pack-
ages. :i) That the death -bed donor did
the act from wholly selfish motives, and
often deluded himself into the belief,
that by giving to charitable purposes
what he could. t use himself he was
Keary to popularize his memory with
the multitude whom he left behind. (4)
Many of thew old tight lists who never
gave even a cup of water to the poor in

for charitable purposes would gain favor
for them in the eyes of high heaven.
