Millions for Charles BARRIERS Descen-
dents.

The descendents OF Charles Barber

fled that they are heirs to fortune OF
$50. 600. 600 now held by the bank OF
England Among the descendants is
Frank Barber, OF Swedesboro, who is a
poor, workingman.
Charles Barber was a native OF Salem
caurtv. When only II years Of age he
left his native State to make home
fortune in Australia He grew immense
~ rich, but with declining years came a
longing for home and friends. Barber
accordingly sailed for England, and after
depositing his wealth in the Bank OF Eng
land he prepared to return to America
lie was taken i'll however, and died in
England.
Frank Barber, of swedesboro, is son
of the late James Stratton Barber, who

only brother Of Charles Barber. Aquilla
Barber remained in New jersey and
reared a large family. \ son, Aquilla,
named after his father, lived many years
in Swedesboro, and was buried in the

that in the near future, the grand neph-
ews and nieces will come into possession
vi their vast property.

his Swedish bride in the summer Of

stood in the streets Of Copenhagen to
see the royal couple pass.
In one group were several dlstln.

teller, Hans Christian Andersen. The
women occupied front seats at the win

from the court dignitaries in the pro.

Some one in the company remarked
that this particular window seemed TO
possess peculiar attractions.

Various attempts have been made, by
comparing It's area with that Of modern
cities, to estimate tie population Of
Babylon. Bat on the lowest calcula-
tlon 1t would he found. supposlrg il TO
have borne any considerable rescm-
blance to one of our cities, to have had
population of 100000. a supposi-
ton to which all but lnsuperable OBJ
stacles are opposed. The map of Ash
attic Turkey shows that the extent Of
country around Babylon available for
agricultural purposes must have been
quite inadequate TO supply the ncces-
sary demands for anything like such
an immense population.
Perhaps. on the whole, We may csti-
mate the population at from l,oG0,CI0
to 100000. This supposition derives
support from the fact that Sclcuc!a,
with a population of Gc0,C00 souls. is
stated by Strabo and Pliny to have
been about half the size of Babylon In
the days OF her greatest glory.

as his special strong point.
"John finishes his work at precisely

she proudly. II always know exactly
where he is and what he is doing at
any time OF the day."
"Well, what is he doing now?" was
asked
Let me see. Ii Is Z o'clock. Well,
he has Just finished putting the dishes
away and at this moment is sweeping

were neatly arranged in their custom
