FORTUNE IN TRUST
Left to "a Banker to Be Disposed of
He Thought Best.

From the Washington Post.
A refreshing story comes from Nan
ties. which seems to fall like benedic-
ton upon the departing days of 1898. 1t
gives one new courage to know that in
this FIN de steele and above in deca-
dent France there is left one such
spirit. 1t appears that about two years
ago All old ship builder named Dobree,
living at Nantes, died, leaving a for
tune of 1900, 0C0 francs-he was over
eighty years of age and absolutely
without heirs, his wife having died
some years previous and left him child
less. NJ. Dobree was exceedingly anx-
1ous to find some method by which he
could leave his great fortune to the
sNantals country, but in such a manner
as not only to be of use to Nantes, but
to art, science and to France in gen
eral. He was a Protestant. and wished
that his executors should be of the
same = religion, and sympathize with
him in his ideas. Among his friends
and acquaintance was one Leon Bu-
reau, who had been both active and
successful in improving the NAVIGATION
OF the river Loire, a matter most i'm
portant to this department of the coun-
try. To this able man NJ. Dobree con-
fided his wishes, and begged him to aid
him in finding worthy and response
piS POAoOA. <a1lCI HULL consideration
and investigation, the selection of sole
legatee, without conditions and with
out restrictions, fell upon NJ Durand-
Gasselin, a well known banker at Nam
ties. The will enjoined upon Durand-
Gasselin that he should do with this
fortune whatever seemed in his judg-
ment to be best, not even one single
suggestion of its disposition being
made. He did, however, have the YER
bal instructions of NJ. Dobree, and
these seemed to have proved all-suffi-
cient for him. After the will was pro-
bated M. Dnrand-Gasselin called about
him his large family of children one
day and said: "Mes enfants, behold
100000 francs which has been willed
to me without any written instruc-
tions. Legally have the right to keep
this money, and naturally you would
thereby profit largely, but to do this
would be to commit a robbery. NJ
Dobree has given me his verbal in
structions for the employment OF this
vast sum of money; 1 will fulfill them
to the letter, and you will never profit

boys BattIeship Ignored.

CINCINNATI, March 5.-Among the prof.
ects to which congress was unable to give
favorable consideration was that to have
a battleship named THE American Boy
Representative Bromwell, of Cincinnati Of
fered a Joint resolution authorizing the sec
rotary of the navy to call the next battle
ship constructed 1.-The American Boy" and
to receive and deposit in the United States
treasury as special fund for the construc-
ton of said battleship all contributions, to
be used in addition to any amount that might
be appropriated for the construction of the
battleships.
This measure was favorably reported by
the naval committee, but was killed in the
house on point of order by Mr. Boutelle.
The boys on the national committee of the
American Boys association have returned
from Washington determined to press their
work harder than ever.

"GOOdyear Rubber Company Be.

Heves In ExpansiOn.o rsF-~
The Goodyear Rubber Co. came to st.
Paul in 1885 and rented the store, 131
East Third street, which had previous
ly been occupied by Whitman, FRY &,
Co. as a dry goods store. They stayed
there for several years until they saw
that the trend of trade was away from
Third street, and they were the first
large firm to leave Third street, NOV.
ing into the stores Nos SO, 100 and 1O2
East Seventh street, the building hav-
ing been extended on the first floor in
order to give them facilities for their
wholesale business Three months aft
er the store was opened in ST. Paul
the company opened a store in Mime
apolis. During the past few months
the company has had under considera
ton the consolidation of the two stores
and, after giving the matter close at
tentlon, they decided to consolidate at
st. Paul; and that the business which
has heretofore been handled from the
Minneapolis store would in the future
be handled from the St. Paul store. The
company will still retain an office and
sample room in Minneap polls, which will
be in charge of Mr.. ]. J. Tallmadge.
who was formerly manager Of the Min
neapolis store. Mr.. Tallmadge will also
have special charge of the sundries
and mechanical goods department in
the st. Paul store.
The jobbing business of the com
pany in st. Paul has increased steadily
each year for the past four years, and
they have low rented the upper part
of the adjoining building, giving them
two floors Of Nos. go, "a and 96-size of
rooms 50X90 feet, which really adds so
per cent to the space they formerly
had for carrying stock. The variety
and quantity of goods necessary to
meet the demands of the trade in this
section of the country made 1t neces
sary for the company to have more
room. Their brands of goods have be-
come we'll and favorably known: so
that in many instances dealers are
seeking the agency for the sale of the
goods.
Mr.. James Suydam, who has been
and Is the manager of the ST. Paul
store, has been with the company since
March l, 1865, having spent part of his
time in their service in New York. Chi
cago, Milwaukee and now in st. Paul.
He was probably the first man selling
a general line Of rubber goods to visit
st. Paul and Minneapolis; his first
trip being made from the Chicago
store in 1867. when Third street was the
principal jobbing street in the city.
Any dealers who have not had bust
ness relations with this company can
obtain, by sending for them, one of
their catalogues of Overshoes, Mackin-
toshes, Mechanical Goods or Sundries.
Their catalogues are furnished only to
dealers. Ninety-five per cent of the
business of the company in st. Paul
is wholesale.
