claims to have positive proof of fraud,

SUPERSTITION
Keeps a Millionaire From His New
Mansion.

Keeps a Millionaire From His New
New York Special to Philadelphia Press.
When C. p. Huntington gave out a short
time ago that the big granite palace he had
built for himself at 57th street and 9th ave-
hue was for sale he DID not accompany the
statement with any reason. The real rea-
son why Huntington never moved into his
house is a small one. The millionaire fear
ed that If he moved into 1t he would die.
1t was the old superstition that old men
who grow rich build fine houses for their
own funerals Many architects have again
and again lost valuable contracts from this
very superstition.
When Mr.. Huntington started his plans
away back in 1889, he, no doubt, thought of
this superstition, but let 1t have little
weight with him. 1t was only last year
that the house began to get near compile
ton. In the meantime his health had be-
come less vigorous. His age and his years
of hard work and worry began to tell upon
him. The superstition came back to him
with renewed force, and he began to think
q great deal about 1t. Then he decided that
he would not even keep the house in his
family; that he would sell it and remove
every danger of his having to occupy It,
1t Is said that Mr.. Huntington has another
superstition-that he will not ride in the ele-
vator with a colored person, because he
thinks it would make bad luck in some way
either that the elevator would fall or some
of his many railroad enterprises would go
wrong.
