man in America, died at his home in Bridge
port, Coun.. Tuesday night, after an illness
of p weeks Mr. Barnum was born in
DaDbury, Conn July }. lon5, in that part
Of the town which afterward became Bethel
His father Was farmer, and Young Bar
mum had no early educational advantages
His father bought small country store in
Bethel, aud il was here that young Barnum
began his career at verv early age as a
clerk His father died when be was -
years old. and he was obliged 10 care for
himself his mother having four other
younger children. For a number Of years
he worked in or was enga zed in business on
his own account in stores IN Bethel and in

dealing with questions that he became in
voived in libel suit was fined aud sent TO
prison for 80 DAYS When he was released
he was escorted to his home by procession
with a brass band. In 1884 he sold his pa
per, and the year following made his debut
as a Snowman. with Joice Heath. the negro
woman, l6l years old whom he exhibited
with great success. Upon her death it was
found that Joice Heath was not over 50
years old. Mr. Barnum had now found his
vocation, and from this time 10 his death
was engaged in some kind Of show business.
In lSll he bought the American museum in
New York. although he was not worth a
dollar. The manner IN which he ran this
museum and the unique schemes If adver-
Using which he introduced have often been
recouuted. In 1912 he brought Tom Thumb
before the public, and with him scored
phenomenal success. The venture by which
Barnum perhaps gained his greatest fame,
and for which he Is deserving Of most praise,
was bringing Jenny Lind 10 this country in
1850. He agreed to pay her 5000 per
night, besides all personal and travelling
expenses. and for the musicians who ac-
her, etc. Her first appearance
at Castle Garden, and her triumphal tour
in this country is matter Of history. Seats
for her concerts sold for fabulous prices in
some cases upwards Of $500 being paid for
a single ticket 10 a single performance.
She appeared in % concerts in this country,
and the net returns were over SIG, 900
In lsjj he became involved in the failure
Of the Jerome clock company and lost his
fortune Of half a million In a few wears,
however, he had cleared his indebtedness.
and had pushed his fortunes rapidly. The
destruction Of his museum by fire in S6j
cost him a loss of nearly half million. He
rebuilt it and lost it by fire again in 1865.
In 1873 lie put up an iron building, called
the Hippotheatron. on 18th street, New
York, aud within four weeks it was burned,
