In Same Cottage.

Investigation reveals that many OF
the statements made by Amasas r,

the death Of his relative are exag-
gerations He is said to have de-
clared that the beach cottage in whicn
Henry N Flagler died was old and

two hostile camps on the question of
the treatment of Henry M. Flagler,

Makes Charges
Against Beneficiaries.

According to his story Amasa
Flagler was denied a part in the flu
neral He went on his way North,
where he has made his sensational
charges that Mrs F1agier, DR. Kee-
nan and j. e. PARROT Kept the dying
finanCier secluded, denying all admis
sion that they might maintain an in
fiuenCe over him.
The three are the principal benefi-
Charles under the will, and il is
Amasa's inference that because they
were with him continually. to the Sc
clusion of others, their claims were
made secure. He hints, In his inter-
views, that codicils TO the original
F1agler will were made under their
domination, cutting out other lega-
tees, particularly Harry Hardness
Flagler. the son Of the fnancier.
However, an examination of the
will and codicils proves this accusa-
tion to be without foundation There
are seven codicils, but none material
ly effective.
The documents are in the court
house in ST. Augustine where they
have reposed since being made. The
original will was drafted February 1,
1902, and names W. r. Beardsley, of
New York; DR. William r. Keenan,.

NUMBERING HOUSES.
A French Architect's Idea That Took
Long Time to Mature.

1t was in the year 1912 that a
French architect made the sugges-
ton that houses in certain section
Of Paris be numbered. The idea,
however, was long time taking
root, and it was not until 1889 that
the system became general, writes
London correspondent.
In Berlin about a decade later an
eccentric method of numbering the
houses was adopted. They number
ed them without reference to the
streets. Thus tenants address
would be described merely as, say,
$1,000 Berlin"
The numbering Of houses in Lon
don, as above shown, is Of compara-
lively recent date. In the later
Stuart times, says Macaulay. the
houses we're not numbered, and
"there would indeed have been little
advantage in numbering them, for
Of the coachmen. charmen, porters
and errand boys Of London a very
small proportion could read. It
was necessary to use marks which
the most ignorant could understand.
The shops were therefore distin-
guished by painted or sculptured
signs, which gave a very gay and
grotesque aspect to the streets"
Similar methods we're adopted
for Identification Of private houses.
In Lincoln's Inn Fields, for exam
pie. it seems to have been usual for
the houses to be distinguished by
ornamentation on the gate posts.
The first instance known of
London street in which the houses
we're numbered is Prescott street,
Goodman's Fields, but the practice
did not spread far before the year
1864, when it received great i'm
pctus, and it soon after became well
in London.-B Baltimore
