100000 of Property in a Liberal
Way.
Nelc York Times
p. 7. Barnum seems to consider his life
work accomplished in the obtaining of the
sacred white elephant from the Burmese
King, for he has just made his will. In
order that there might be no question as
to his sanity upon which to ground con-
tests after his death, he had eminent
physicians examine him, and secured
their attestatiOn that he was of
sound mind. The will and its codi-
ellis cover more than 700 pages of legal
cap, closely written, and dispOses of real
estate and personal property of the value
of $lO,000,000 to p heirs. The property is
in New York, Brooklyn, Bridgeport, Colo
RADIO, and several other places. Mr.. Bar
mum values his interest in the Barnum
and London shows at S., SOC, 900. His be-
quests for charitable purposes are numer-
Gus and large. Among the beneficiaries
are the Chaplin Home, Children's Aid So
ciety, Old Mems and Women's Homes,
and the Society to Assist Males and
Females over Eighteen Years of Age OF
this city, Bridgeport Orphan Asylum,
Bridgeport Hospital, and other Bridge
port societies.
Mr. BaTnum also makes provision for
certain worthy charities, by bequeathing
10 JheH SIaIed percentage or The large
annual profits accruing from his share in
the Barnum and London shows. He au-
thorIZes his executors to renew the part
nership at present in effect with Messrs.
James A. Bailey and James L. Hutchin-
son upon its expiration, in 1899. To the
city of Bridgeport he secures the only
water front not already seized by private
corporations with dock upon it costing
$50, 900, for twenty-one years after his
death, during which time his executors
are forbidden to sell or lease it, mis- object
being, as the will recites, ito prevent a
monopoly of the freight and passenger
traffic by any one line of steamers between
New York and Bridgeport, and to pre-
serve to Bridgeport and others the adj
vantage of reasonable rates for freight
and passage between said cities"
