to p 7. Barnums millions are prepar-
ing to bring an action in the courts for
the division of their property The con-
test will, it is understood now, be en-
tirely friendly in it's nature.
When the great Snowman died he
left nearly $5,0OO,0OO, and of this
amount $1,250000 was retained by the
executors to produce the $4,000 annual

bequeathed equally to his daughters.
The Seeley children, Clinton Barnum.
Herbert B. and Jessica Seeley Marshall.
each received one-ninth, or one-third
of the portion left to their mother.
Clinton Barnum Seeley was given one
ninth outright, and the shares of Her
bert B. and Jessica were left in trust
to Clinton B. and Mrs. c. C. Thompson
until they became twenty five years of
age, and thereafter so long as the tru-
tees in their discretion deemed it adj
visable,
Although each of these children have
one-ninth interest in the Barnum CO.
tate, their total share being about ST.
100000, it has never been divided, and
it is said the present plan of the three
parties is to petition for the division of
their interests.

IT'S A MERE SPECK IN THE SEA.
Commander Caussi@ Tells How He
Took Possession Of Wake Island.

Washington. March 22.-The condi-
tions under which Wake island, midway
between Honolulu and the Philippines,
was taken possission of in the name
of the United States by the command
er of the Bennington, on her voyage,
across the Pacific, are given in report
to the navy department from Com
mander TauSsig. The officer says he
approached the island with the navi-
gator at the masthead, steaming slow
ly along the southern and eastern sides
to discover signs of habitation and
looking in vain for an anchorage. He
did not circumnavigate the island. but
seeing that the outlet on the north was
barred not only by wall of coral but
also by a sand pit, he returned to the
lee of the island. A landing was made
at l o'clock on january II and a flag
pole was raised
When the flagstaff was in place the
sailors were formed in two ranks fac
ing seaward and having called all to
witness that the island was not in the
possession of any other nation, Com
mander Tausig ordered the American
flag to be raised by Ensign Wettengel.
Upon reaching the truck the flag was
saluted by 21 guns from the Benning-
ton. After the salute the flag was
nailed to the masthead with battens
and a brass plate with the following
inscription was screwed to the base of
the flagstaff:

what is the meaning of this? The
rector spoke very sternly as he saw
the white robe of the bishop firmly
clutched bya pair of little black hands.
What are you doing here?"
But Easter Lily was too much in ear
nest to be driven off in that way. She
only clutched the harder, and looking
up into the bishops face with her poor
sightless eyes said, fearlessly: 'Oh,
Goldman, won't you make me see?
Grover Cleveland now thought it
time for aa explanation. "Shes stone
blind. yer highness,' he said, thinking
that the proper way to address a bishop,
and ducking his head as well as he
could. surrounded as it was by the col
lar. And we thought yer highness
could cure her"
Like de Goldman dat Brudder Small
wood preached about" chimed in
Easter Lily.
Don't wait for me-" said the bishop
to the rector, who was absolutely
speechless. His voice trembled, and
there were tears in his eyes; those eyes
that never failed to look kindly upon all
who needed his help. Taking a seat He
lifted the little girl in his lap, and in a
few simple words told her the story of
the Goldman as she had never heard it
before, and explained that he had no
power to restore her sight.
The children listened with intense
interest. Then. gently putting her
down, he told her brother to take her
home, asking their names and address
Then carriage came for him, and in d
few minutes he was gone.
The children stood there hand in
hand in a dazedi sort of way till the
sexton made his appearance to turn out
the lights.
"Clar out, clar out, chillens. Does We
'spose we 'Piscopals never wants to git
to bed?"
Then they slowly started for home.
The nature Of the expedition was pro-
found secret, they having got permis-
sion TO go to Uncle Jake's church"
1--WE won't tell nobody" said Easter
Lily, as they reached the house. "Dey'd
all poke fun at us" Then, with a sigh
that was full of pathos, she added, soft

Pittsburg, March 25.-The long
talked of glass tableware combination
will be consummated in New York to-
day. Options on 95 per cent. of all
the concerns in the country have been
secured. The principal stumbling
block in the way of the COM
bine have been the two large concerns,
the United States Glass Co. and the
Rochester Tumbler Co. These COM
panies having finally come into line,
the projectors left for New York last
night for the purpose of closing the
deal. The combination will be capital
ized at between $l2,OOO,OOO and SIS. .OOO,-
900, the exact figure to be agreed upon
in New York. When the consolidation
is completed .here will be slight ad-
vance in prices.
