Aged Man Spent Entire Life
Collecting CuriOS Which Are

SPRINGPORT. Ind, Sept "a
The burning of the Worth museum

work of a lifetime and left Edwin
Worth. so years old. once among
New York's most famous curio eX-
hibitors. sorrowing 10y the ashes. An
overturned alcohol lamp exploded
and more than so years work went
up in the smoke.
Worth came 10 Springport from
New York about nine years ago. He
had spent his life collecting curios
and freaks for his museum at Sew
enth av. and Thirtieth St, New York.
Old age had come on him and his
sister. Mrs. Anna MeIett, and he
decided TO sell his museum and
come to Springport to spend his last
years with her.
But when it came time 10 sell his
collection. Prof. Worth, as he long
had been known, was unable TO part
with the collection he had spent
most of his life in gathering, and
he decided TO bring it 10 SpringpOrt
with him. Thus ii came that one day
there arrived at this village station
"a train Of cars from New York, and
the village gasped as it saw the old
professor unload his cherished coll
lection. In il was the head or
Charles Guiteau. the assassin of
Pres't Garfield, with the government
documents collected by Worth TO
show this really was the head of the
assassin. Cases contained many
Egyptian mummies. There was a
remnant OF the gown of Empress
Josephine, and several nantes for
merry worn by famous Egyptian
kings. The fountain clock Of his
collection was one famous article he
preserved in transporting his collec-
ton to Springport. Many stuffed
freaks from the animal world-five-
legged calves, two-headed monkeys,
strange horned toads-were part of
the many carloads OF curios and
freaks
Prof. Worth stored his museum In
SpringpOrt barns until he could
build a museum. He erected a large
frame building built in the form of
a starish. In this he placed mis-
treasured collections, and made il at
tractive as an exhibition. Thousands
of persons visited Springport to see
his collection
Now il all lies in a heap of white
ashes. Prof. Worth estimates his
loss at $1.OOO.OOO. and says that to
him it was worth S1O,0OO,O0O. And
an old man grieves over the loss of
his lifes work.
