COOPER UNION.
Unexpected Wealth Discovered In
John HaIstead's Bequest.

New York. April 13.-By the death of
John Ilalstead, Il retired tea merchant,
ut his home. lob West Sevcnty-seventh
street, last May Cooper Union has been
made residuary legatee Of his estate.
When the will was probated and the
stipulated amount of other requests was
| made public, unusual attention was not
paid to the Halstead legacy by the
trustees of Cooper Union, as it was not
considered to exceed 100000. In fact.
it was estimated at $4,000. An in
ventory of the property. however, which
has been recently made, conservatively
| estimates the value of the property thar
will come into the possession of the in
stitute at 100000.
Mr.. Halstead was 81 years of ago
when he died, Thirty years ago he re
tired from the tea business, having estah-
ished at that time at Spring street and
the Bowery one of the largest teahouses
in the country. He had worked his way
up gradually from clerk in a grocery
store to his position as proprietor and
had been assisted in the work by his
mother and sister, the only blood rcla
tivcs he had.
In 1913 DR.. Sebury, for many years the
1Ialstead family physician, died. and his
death was followed Il few months later
by that of his wife. His young daughter.
Hannah, was adopted by Mrs. Halstcad.
Halstcad never married. and when his
mother and sister died he continued to
live with his foster sister. She married
James 5. Wibcrt. who took up his resi-
dcnce mt the Halstead home. He died
last March,
When the inventory of his estate was
completed. it was discovered that in adj
dition to large holdings in stocks, bonds
and city real estate Mr.. IIalstcad owned
100 acres of coal land in West Virgin
i'll which are practically undeveloped and
may become very valuable and a large
tract of mineral land in North Carolina
which may also materially increase in
value. Abram S. Hewitt. secretary of
Cooper Union. said that the Halstead be
quest to the institution would certainly
amount to S250,00O and would probably
be worth more than 100000 by the time
it reverted to Cooper Union.

We understand that Gen. Grout,
being asked whether he was intend
ing to leave Washington and come
home to look after his campaign, ut
tered an emphatic ono" He did not
consider that he had any right so to
do while congress was in session; he
was there to look after the peoples
business and would not for a moment
think of running away from it for any
such purpose. There is sound sense
in that sort of position, and the peo-
pie can appreciate it.-Poultney Jour
