An Economic millionaire

Especial Telegram to Evening Teller3
LONDON, June 25.-Newcastle has
lost one of its most eccentric and pic
turesque characters in the person Of
George Handyside, a self-made mill
who died there last week after
a most romantic career. He began life
as cobbler's boy at Berwick. and died
in his 8Oth year, the owner Of vast
tracts Of residential and business prop
erty on Tyneside. He thought nothing
of buying a whole street at once, de-
mOlishing the houses and re-erecting
the buildings upon plans of his own.
Every Monday he would perambulate
his acres Of tenemented property with
bell and wheelbarrow collecting the
rents. Those who answered the sum-
mons and brought out the money to
him received discount in the shape of
few coppers. 1t was his proud boast
that he had never employed bailin
or made use Of the county court in his
life. He never asked for rent at
house in which the breadwinner was
i'll. and in case of death his first act
was to call and tell the bereaved that
she might continue to occupy the house
rent free as long as she remained
widow.
