Death of Eccentric Millionaire.

London, June 25-Newcastle has
lost one of its most eccentric and
picturesque characters in the person
of George Handyside a self-made mil.
lionaire, who died there last week
after a most romantic career. He be.
gan life "a a cobbler's boy at Berwick,
and died in his S0th year, the owner
of vast tracts of residential and busi-
ness property on Tyneside. He thought
nothing of buying a whole street at
once, demolishing 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 wac ans
wered the summons and brought out
the money to him received discount
in the shape of few coppers, 1t was
was his proud boast that he had never
employed a bailiff or made use of
the county court in his life. He never
asked for rent at a 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 a widow.
