plans were discussed by himself and the
daughter.
The young couple now felt very de-

summation of their hopes were certain
ly very d~iscouraging. "The course of
true love never did run smooth" and
apparently was not going to do so in
their case. gsv
About this time the man, who had

eloped and were quietly married.

SISTER SUSAN'S STORY.

The Other Side Of the Sensational Affair
In which Anna Dickinson Was the Cen-
tral Figure.
SCRANTON, Pa. April 11.-Miss Susan
f. Dickinson was in the city Friday in
consultation with friends relative to
the statements made by her sister to a
reporter in New York. Miss Dickinson
said that she had telegraphed DIR.
Seward that he would be held in dam
ages for the injury he is doing her
sisters mind confirming her delusion,
and also that friends of West Pittston
and vicinity will testify that she has de-
voted her life for years to the welfare
and interests of Anna. In conclu-
sion Miss Susan says that she sees now
that her friends told her truly
when they said she was fool
ish to devote her life to Miss Anna.
Hereafter Anna must find faithful
servants wherever she can. Miss Susan
does not explain why, when the Scran-
ton Republican first gave to the world
the story Of her sisters insanity. she
sent strongly worded denial of it to
every paper in the region claiming that
the report was "a cruel outrage"

THE WOMEN or BOHEMIA.

They Have by Noble Effort Established .
Gymnasium or Preparatory school for
Girls In Prague.
After hard battle against ignorance
and prejudice the women of Bohemia
have succeeded SO far as to open gym
nasium, or preparatory school, for girls
in Prague.
Last summer when the question of
admitting women to the university was
raised, it awakened a storm of ridicule
and opposition. But the women re-
fused to be alarmed or discouraged.
They drew up a petition and presented
it to the reichsrath, where it was 50
favorably received that there was no
longer any doubt about their admit
tance to the university upon the same
terms as the men.
SO much gained, the next question
arose as to how the girls were to gain
the preliminary education required for
the entrance examination to the univer-
sity. As yet the state would not open
to them the doors Of a single gym
nasium. The soul of the new move
ment was Eliska krasnohorska, the
most popular author in Bohemia. This
little woman, full of enthusiasm, said:
LET us start a gymnasium of our own!'
This would be an easy task in America,
but not SO under the despotic govern
ment Of Austria. Merely to obtain per-
mission to organize such school meant
an endless amount of labor. Miss
krasnohorska, however, was equal to
the task. She reasoned, pleaded, coax
ed, sent letters in all directions until
she not only obtained the consent OF
the authorities for starting gymnar
sium, but won to her side almost all
the leading journals of Prague.
The hardest task of all was yet to
come, and that was to raise the neces-
sary funds. The enemies of the under
taking now laughed and rejoiced. They
knew the money could never be raised.
and the fact that the women attempted
il was prima facie evidence that they
were unfit for higher education-no one
OF ordinary intelligence would attempt
such a hopeless task!
But they laugh best who laugh last

At BARNUM'S BIER.

A Great Throng Follows the Remains Ol
tho Famous Snowman to Their Last
Resting Piace-His Estates Valued at
$4,000, ,OOO-How 1t II Disposed of by
His Will.
BRIDGEPORT, Conn, April 11.--Busi-
ness here was almost entirely sus-
pended out of respect to the memory of
Bridgeport's great benefactor, the late
p. L. Barnum. Mourning emblems
were to be seen on all sides and
the day was one Of gloom and sorrow.
At an early hour the streets were
filled with people, not only of this city,
but from the surrounding towns and
cities. The funeral services were be-
gun by a short prayer at the residence
at :0:30, only the members of the
iai.lily being present. The body was
then conveyed to the Congregational
church. where DIR. Collyer, Of New
York, delivered touching GRAFTON. The
singing was especially beautiful and
the floral tributes many and appropri-
ate. The church was crowded. A great
throng followed the body to the grave.
BRIDGEpoRT, Conn, April 1.-THE
will of the late p. L. Barnum was read
at Maranna Immediately after the
funeral in the presence of the family
and representatives of the press. The
wealth of the great Snowman is esti-
mated to amount to over S5,0O0.O 900.
The first will was written by Mr. Bar
mum in 1882, since which time eight
codicils have been added at various
times.
BY codicil dated July, 1890, he gives
his wife 100000 absolutely and $4,000
annuity. lie bequeathed to the First
Universalist church of this city $4,000
for providing preaching and other
services recognized by the United
States convention as in conformity to
the faith of Iniversalism. He be-
queathed Caroline G. Thompson, Of
New York, 500, 900, to Clinton Ii. Seely,
his grandson, $4,000. In the same
codicil he states that he has no male
heir named Barnum, and provides that
if Clinton ii. Seely will change
his name to Clinton Barnum
Seely he will give him $4,000
more. The contract between Barnum
Bailey shall be enforced and 3
per cent. OI his snare III The SHOW IL
given to Clinton Barnum Seely provid-
ing he will devote sufficient TIME in the
interest of the show to carry 1t on sue
cessfully. If the sum reaches over
$4,000 year the balance goes to the
estate.
To Mrs. Henry Buchetelle, Denver.
Col, he gives 1G5 acres of valuable land
in Denver. To Treasurer Fish of the
great show is bequeathed per cent OF
the profits, providing he remains at the
end of five years, in addition to his
present salary. The residuary estate,
after the payment Of bequests, is divided
among his children and grandchildren.
To Tufts college he bequeaths S4o,.
900. To Universalist societies and in
stitutions, to hospitals and asylums in
various cities about $4,000 is left. He
leaves $1,000 for statue of himself at
his grave. Any contestant of the will
is to be cut off.
The last codicil, dated March 30, 1891
provides that his executors shall com
plete the new historical and scientific
society building in this city, the same
to cost sla5.O0O.
| William X. Hincks, treasurer of the
City savings bank. and Treasurer Fish
are named as executors to serve with
