up near Yonkers, where he has beau
tiful estate and at least a million dol
lars worth of the worlds best material.
The old man is over eighty years OF
age, and when he goes to join Sands,
Nathan. Spaulding, Bidwell, Rogers,
Lent, Forepaugh, John Robinson and
Barnun, we shall have nothing left of
the ancient circus regime in this coun-
try save Uncle Dan Rice himself, who
probably learned his best clown tricks
and jokes from old Joe Pentland fifty
years ago. While these old circus mon
archs led for the most par: rough and
hazardous lives, and, in the early days,
canpcd like soldiers in all sorts Of
weather, in all sorts of places, nearly
ali of them lived to ripe ages. They
were really men of heroic mold. Most
of them developed out of the very hard
grinding Of their venturesone careers.
While on the subject may add that
met a representative of Mr.. Bailey the
other day, who had just returned from
an Important mission in Europe. Bailey
is now the successor. of P. T. Barnum
and the owner Of Forepaugh's show as
well. While the latter organization
will be kept moving through the coun-
try this season as light artillery, the
heavy Barnum show will be converted
into grand spectacle based upon the
discovery of this country by Christie
pher Colun bus. 1t is proposed to give
under enormous tents, or in great build
ings to be erected in principal Cities
magnificent pageant representing four
phases in the career of the great discov-
crer. Mr.. Bailey has invested a quarter
of million of dollars in costumes,
scenery, armors, cite.
A dozen of the best scenic artists of
Paris have been at work for months
upon the scenery, and his agents have
been into every hole and corner Of Eu-
rope engaging artists and securing ex-
hibits. At least $50 people will be
brought over from Europe, and with the
auxiliaries to be added here the company
will number at least 800 persons. A
magnificent ballet, of course, will grace
and adorn the entertainment. 1t is es-
timated that Uncle Sam will secure at
least ss5, ZOO from Mr. Bailey in the
shape Of tariff on the goods and ma
terial to be employed in this great spec
tacle. Speaking of shows and show
men, am reminded that we have here
in this city retired circus man Of the
modern school, Mr.. w. H. Cole. He
travelled through the west and south
with the old-fashioned circus and
menagerie for fifteen years, made
nice bit of money, invested it in Chica-
go and New York real estate, and now,
at the age Of forty-fve, he is living
quietly and peacefully here in New
York with an accredited fortune of o
million and half.

Mr.. Fiagler's Fad.

The fads of millionaires have been
pretty generally exploited in the news
papers of late years, but l really can
recollect nothing in our national
history which equals the Quixotic effort
on the part of Mr.. Henry M. Flagler, of
the Standard Oil Company to convert
the coast of Florida into a combined
American Nice and Mentone. The old
city Of St. Augustine was for years
quaint and pleasant winter resort
Running back to 1900, or whereabouts,
its antiquity was a source of interest,
and two or three little cheap hotels
managed to elSe out an existence there.
Having more money than he knew
what to do with, Mr.. Flaglcr conceived
the idea of converting the stolid old
Spanish town into fashionable resort.
He built the Ponce de Leon hotel, one
of the most expensive as well as one of
the most beautiful structures in the
country, and organized several real
estate and Improvement companies to
participate in the effects of his specula-
ton. He also induced many of his as
sociates in the Standard Oil Company
to invest in lands throughout Florida,
and chief among his great schemes was
the construction of breakwatcr at St.
Augustine, with view to making it a
railroad terminus and great Atlantic
seaport.
Il is said now, or at least the story is
extant, that the Ponce de Leon hotel
was built over made ground in very
swampy portion of st. Augustine and
that the great palace is practically sat-
urated now with malaria At all events
the hotel has been practically empty
all winter. Perhaps if we had had a
colder season in the north more rich
valetudinarians would have been driven
to st. Augustine. But as our weather
has thus far been exceedingly mild the
great Ponce de Leon is almost as lonely
as the broken palaces Of Alhambra- 1t
is said that Flagler and his oleaginous
partners own absolutely more than
half Of Florida. That is to say,
the money which they have in
vested there amounts to as much
as the remaining portion of the
state would sell for at auction. The
state is too small and insignificant to be
of much service politically, barring the
two United States senatorships which
can be secured by them when wanted, I
presume And the great expectant
public is wondering how Mr. Flagler is
going to get his millions out Of the reek-
ing swamps and everglades. However,
that is his own business. Although
resident of New York city Mr.. Flagler
I'll sr,+A in fro.
politan affairs, and do not know that
he has associated himself with a single
movement here except that which per-
tains to the furtherance of the great
Standard Oil monopoly.
