pr1cKs G'eacn point, ana to say nothing to
any one. He was further directed at the
end of an hour to go into the Museum and
spend fifteen minutes there
The man naturally asked the object of
so strange proceeding. Barnum gave him
no satisfaction, but told him he would be
well paid. The man placed his bricks and
began to exchange them Half an hour
afterward 500 people were watching him.
He looked solemn and answered no ques-
tions. In an hour the sidewalks on the
line of the brick carriers march were
packed with people, all wondering at the
strange behavior Then the man went
into the Museum and spent fifteen min
.utes, returning at the expiration of the
time to his round.
After while whenever he went into the
Museum number of people would buy
tickets and follow him in order to find out
what he did there. The admission fees
taken in this way more than paid the brick
mans salary. Finally at the end of several
days the sidewalks in front of the Museum
became SO crowded that the police notified
Mr.. Barnum to call in his man. But the
apparently senseless maneuver excited
curiosity and advertised Barnum and his
Museum.

BOhNlNG Of HE t1TSI MUSEUM.
the first letter which your agent, Mr.. Wilton.
addressed me was written upon a sheet headed
with beautiful engraving of Iranistan. It
attracted my attention. l said to myself, "A
gentleman who has been SO successful in his
business as to be able to build and reside in
such palace cannot be mere adventurer.'
So wrote to your agent and consented to an
interview, which | should have declined if
had not seen the picture of Iranistan.'
To which the manager CALAMITY replied.
Then am fully repaid for building it."
Iranistan was consumed by fire in 1857,
and BarnUm promptly replaced it with
Waldemere. In 1865 the Snowman, then
member of the Connecticut legislature,
was handed dispatch while making a
speech Oh an important bill. He glanced
at it and continued his argument unruff1ed.
Yet the telegram told him that the famous
American museum at Broadway and Ann
street was totally destroyed. This was on
July ID, and Horace Greeley desired his
friend to accept it as ga notice to quit and
go a-fishing," bliss he himself had been
vainly endeavoring for thirty years to OBJ
tain. The museum, however, was rebuilt,
only to be burned down again March 9,
1868. The three confagrations represented
a loss of Fl, 100000 For some time he lived
quietly at Bridgeport April 10, 1871, how
ever, he returned to the show business.
In 1872 the novelty of transporting tho
show by rail was tried and found success

menagerie, hippodrome and circus were
opened in the old Hippotheatron, on Four
tenth street, which was prompt to burn
down on Christmas eve.

sailed the winter quarters of the menag-
erie at Bridgeport in November, 1887, caus-

JOURNALIST AND ADVERTISER.
Barnum's Experience Publisher and
Patron of Papers.

Barnum'S Experience as a Publisher ana
Patron of Papers.
If Barnum could not work through
channels controlled by other people he
would cut channels of his own. When he
was Il very young man about nineteen years
old) he sent some articles to Danbury
weekly paper for publication. They were
refused. Barnum informed the editor that
if he could not get sentiments printed as
just and as necessary to be expressed as
those he had submitted he would establish
a paper in Danbury and print them him
self. He carried out his threat, and In the
autumn of 1881 began the publication of
The Herald of Freedom.
The paper naturally had a good deal of
vigor in it, and the proprietor managed to
push it far beyond Danbury. That was a
time when there was not as much freedom
of the press as there is now, and in three
years the enterprising young editor was
prosecuted three times for libel. In one of
the suits he was simply fined; a second
was withdrawn; and though the third put
him ia Jail he was brought out in tri-
umphal procession. The people cele-
brated his release in the court room in
which he was convicted. Indeed, he had
an easy time in jail, and made capital out
of his imprisonment. Some time after
ward Barnum went with some Connect
cut ealtors 10 see PRESIDENT jackson and
Martin van Buren on thelr way through
New England. When Barnum was intro
duced Van Buren, said to him, "Oh, you
are Mr.. Barnum, the editor VINO went to
Jail"
Barnum's editorial experience was of
benefit to him all through his life. His
business called for extensive advertising,
and Barnum knew just how to make his
contracts with newspapers to the mutual
benefit of both parties. Il always KNEW"

BARNUM'S FIRE RECORD.
His House Burned Once-His Show Suf-
fered Four Times


fered Four Times.
Five times during his long career as a
Snowman Barnum suffered great losses by
fire. 1t was in the '40's that he amassed
his first fortune, principally as the result
of the Tom Thumb tours. In 1S4S he erect
ed in Bridgeport magnificent mansion on
the plan of the George ~ pavilion at
Brighton. 1t was the first specimen of
oriental architecture in America, and with
its spacious grounds was one of the show
places of Connecticut. He called it s'Irani-
stan," which means Eastern Country
Place" or Oriental Villa" One of the
funny 1nen of the time divided it into
these sylables. I-ran-i-stan, and gave the
explanation that "I' (Barnum) Gran long
time before could stan'" Barnum with
his family moved into it in November,
1913, and gave a house warming to over
1000 of his friends and neighbors.
When Jenny Lind began her tour of the
States she remarked:
do you know, Mr.. Barnum, that if you had
not built Iranistan l should never have come
to America foryou?"
''Pray EXPLAIN said Mr.. Barnum much sur
prised, and she went on: well, l had received
several applications to visit the United States
but l did not much like the appearance of the
applicants, nor did relish the idea of crossing
5000 miles of water, SO declined them all. But

His Triumpi.s Abroad.

Barnum's visits to Europe in 1914 and
1857 with Tom Thumb have been alluded
to elsewhere. He made his third profes
sional trip in 1899, and took with him the
Greatest Show on Earth" chartering a
small fleet OF steamers for that purpose
Mr. Barnum's account of the venture
made public after his return to America
is as follows:
At London the great Olympia, which seated
l5,00O people, was crowded constantly night
and day. People came from all over Great
Britain. There was not town in Great Brit
ain of any consequence which did not have our
bills posted up within its limits. The royal
family, with the exception of the queen and
almost all of the nobility came to see us. And
they came not once, but many times. When
received the Princess of Wales upon her sec
ond visit | told her royal hghness that was
glad to see her a second time, because that
proved she enjoyed her first visit.
"lndeed." she replied, Mr.. Barnum, have
been here three times, besides my two official
visits
That was. she had come incognito as did
many other members of the royal family
You know they get tired of hearing God Save

he already knew me, as my show had been the
only entertainment which he had visited in
New York. He laughed when told him how
| had used that visit as a drawing card for
others. Prince George and the crown prince
of Denmark were also frequent visitors. The
crown prince told me that he had heard of my
show during his whole lifetime and was happy
to see it in reality. Mr.. Gladstone was also
greatly interested in the sights, and gave vent
to his surprise when he saw more than l,000
performers ON the stage at once.
The English were glad to see an old fellow of
eighty cross the Atlantic with three of Noah S
arks They like pluck, and considered that

to laugh when my old friend Henry Irving re-
ferred to this. attended one of his famous
suppers, which begin after II o'clock and osld
about in the morning. When he toasted me
he said, 1--WE like Mr.. Rarnum; we are glad to
have him with us, but we wish just now that
he was 5000 miles away" His own theater had
suffered almost as much as the others.
