EAuRHAvEN RECEIVES 100000.
Request Of Henry II. Rogers to Native
Town No Surprise.

Fairhaven. Mass. May 2s.-The an
nouncement that the town of Fairhaven
received bequest of 100000 under the
will of the late Henry H. Rogers of New
York, native of Fairhaven. did not
cause any surprise here today. 1t had
been generally believed that the financier
would remember his birthplace with some
kind of a bequest, and although many
extravagant rumors regarding the size OF
such requests had been circulated, most
of them had been discounted. A day or
two after Mr.. Rogers death rumor to
the effect that every voter of L airhaven
would receive bequest of 500 was re-
ceived more or less credulously. while
other rumors were to the effect that the
town would receive several millions of
dollars under the provisions of the will
All of Mr.. Rogers gifts to Fairhaven
had been endowed literally during his
lifetime and his gift OF 100000 for the
benefit of the Primary and Grammar
schools will materially aid the town in
the maintenance of it's unendowed public
schools
From an authoritative source it is
learned that the new $4,000 High school
building built by Mr.. Rogers and the

corps of High school teachers maintained
at his expense, have been literally en-
dowed. The deeds conveying the proper
ty to the town have not yet been filed,
nor have the terms of the schools en-
dowment yet been made public. 1t is
known, however, that the papers trans
ferring the High school to the town were
signed by Mr.. Rogers more than a year
ago and during his life he set apart an
endowment for the support of the school
and the maintenance of the large corps
Of teachers. 1t had been planned by Mr..
