Phineas Taylor Barnum

In connection with certain proceed

70 Baroness Nancy Barnum d'Alexan-
ldrey Orengiani a resident Of Paris,
france. The baroness was formerly
Mrs. P. T. Barnum OF Bridgeport,
Conn. Her first husband was one of
the greatest money-makers and money
losers OF two generations ago in the
United States, and his record in this
respect was maintained, so far as
money-making went, up TO compar-
atively recent years. After q great
number OF drafts have been made
upon his fortune. to meet public be-
quests and private gifts. the residue
OF the Barnum estate today has a val
ne exceeding $1,222,000. AS a young
man his career was checkered with
ups and down in the business world.
Always restless, he was scarcely out
of one thing before he was interested
in another, and his tastes were as
Liberal as his talents were versatile.
1t was in a measure Indicative Of his
future activities that he should start
as a storekeeper, become an editor,
be punished for libe! and enter the
show business before he was 25.

Ito be humbugged. This conviction
was one on which he evidently acted
from the time he purchased Joyce
Heth, a slave woman, for $1,000, pass

Washington, to the time when he
plastered the walls and %signboards of
the nation with al,uring pictures of
lcreatures that never had existence.
Joyce Heth was represented to be

that she could not be v E 70. OF
