Uomantle Career of a Farmer's Boy CThoesJ Name Became a Household Word la -All Parts or the World Ills Deeds of Charity. Phineas Taylor Barnum was the sod a Connecticut farmer, and was born July 5,. 1810. As a boy he displayed great business After clerking in a country store for awhile he secured a clerkship in a Brooklyn store, and then returned home to run a store of his own at the age of 18. Three years later he assumed the ed itorship of the Herald of Freedom and subsequently served two or three terms imprisonment for alleged libeL Bar num dickered in other enter prises before he into the show business, which really began when he managed the exhibition of a colored woman 112 years of age.

The Jenny Lind engagement, however, was his first great strike," and.it netted him $250,000. From this time on his genius for the show business continued to add to his fortune and fame. It was he who brought out Tom Thumb, who wore the honor of being the first "freak." He first showed Toung, the sacred white elephant of Burmah, and Jumbo, the largest elephant ever seen In this country. The prjnce of showmen" cannot be said to have always: been lucky. rHe was particularly unfortunate in regard to fire.

of the metropolis. Hundreds of wild animals were released, creating the wildest consternation among the many thousands of spectators who had gath ered. In 1868 his place on Broadway, near Prince street, was burned, and not only many animals, but several persons, lost their lives. He then moved onto Fourteenth street, between Third and Fourth avenues, and that place burned in 1872, causing a large loss of human life. June 5, 18S3, his big1 tent burned in Chicago, it having been on the lake front.

Including the loss of his residence "Iranistan" at Bridgeport, Barnum is estimated to have lost $5,000, 000 by fires. Barnum's great success was undoubt edly due, as he himself said, to liberal advertising, for which had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars. His estate is worth $10,000,000 or $12,000,000. In his will, executed in 1883, he made very large bequests to charity, Many years ago heand his then asso ciate, Gen. ISoble, donated to the city of Bridgeport Washington park, a beautiful grove surrounded by churches and fine residences, which the city would not sell now for hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Then he, individ ually, gave the city $70,000 worth more of land for park purposes on condition that It would maintain it forever as a park and always have a free bathing ground on its front. In the city cem etery he gave several thousand dollars' worth of lots for a bunal plot for the Grand Army of the Republic; as much more for the fire department of Bridge port; 8,000 single graves for poor people on condition that they should be scat tered all over the cemetery, not located in any one place together, where; the spot might come to be known by the opprobrious name of potter's field, and the further condition that the very poor shall be buried for nothing, and in no case shall more than $3 be charged, in stead of the ordinary rate of $7. In 1883 Mr. Barnum made his wilL In order that there might be no question as to his sanity upon which to ground contests after his death he had eminent physicians examine him and secured their attestation that he was of sound mind. The will and its codicils cover more than 700 pages of legal cap, close ly written, and dispose of real estate and personal property of the value of $10,000,000 to twenty-seven heirs.

The property is in New York, Brooklyn, Bridgeport. Colorado and several other places. His bequests for charitable purposes are numerous and large. Among the beneficiaries are the Chapin home. Children's Aid society.

Leave vonr address with as and onr solicitors mm I7i How to Cateb, Pickerel la Connecticut la the Winter Season. Winter fishing for pickerel savors of all the exciting detail that accompanies the sport In open water when the suple denizen of the shallows Is lured from his shadowy lair by the whirling spoon, and the fisherman escapes the fatigne that he suffers in walking along the margin of the lake with the hot rays of the summer sun blistering his back. There is enough excitement and work in it to rob the sharp winter winds of their about sting, and, if the ice be clear and smooth, a pair of skates add materially to the pleasure of the day's outing. During the last ten years great improvement has been made in the "tackle" for pickerel fishing through ice. A decade ago the forked stick cut at the margin of the lake, sufficiently wide to cover a hole In the ice and strong enough to hold a fish until he was safely landed, or 'a shingle with a hole bored through the center, through which a stick was thrust to support it over the hole, was all equipment, besides the lines and hooks, that the fisherman cared for, and it is probable that in those days, with this crude outfit, fishermen were quite as successful as they are to-day; but no fisherman, who is at all sensitive, will now venture upon a lake with such ungainly "tackle" and compete with the man who is equipped with the ingeniously-contrived "flag gear," which is exceedingly neat and elaborate in its construction.

A man who angles through ice enjoys the best success on a clear, cold day, with the mercury a few degrees above the freezing point, for during the winter the pickerel lie in deep water; very near to the bottom of the lake, and a bright sun lights up the water beneath the ice and enables the fish to see the bait. The early morning hours are the most favorable for a "big catch," and the most successful fishermen say that the holes should be cut and the lines set by the break of day, for as soon as the light of day shows through the holes in" the ice the fish gather about them in their search for food. The number of lines in the equip ment of the average fisherman is sixty, and as a hole has to be cut through the ice for every line set, the angler finds enough exercise to keep his blood in circulation during the sunless hours of the early morning, especially if the ice' averages eighteen inches in thickness, as is very often "the case. To cut sixty fishing holes in the ice averaging twelve inches In thickness requires from two and a half to three hours of hard labor. This portion of the day sport is not especielly enjoyable, since it has to be performed by the light of a lantern, and the flying particles of ice dashing into the chopper's face do not in any degree increase the lightness of his spirits.

The holes are round and eighteen inches in diameter. They are cut over what are considered the best fishing grounds in. the lake, often stretching in a line along the channel more than two miles, and when the fish take the bait lively it puts the fisherman to his best exertions to give his lines the attention that they need. With a dozen flags signaling to him at the same time he is put to his wits' end to reach them all before the fish has managed to liberate himself from the Book. To success fully attend such a string of lines the fisherman must be a fast and clever skater: When there are several fishermen on the lake at the same time they assist each other in attending the lines, and whenever a fish un usually large is drawn from the water he is swung high in the air and attention attracted to him by a triumphant shout from the throat of his captor that rings along the frozen lake clear and distinct for many miles.

There is a chorus of answering shouts from distant fishermen, a ring of steel along the icy plane as the skaters hurry in the direction of the lucky angler, and for awhile as they gather around the gasping fish that dangles from the hook, admiring him and guessing at his weight, they forget their on "tackle." ne gear, now in use consists oi a piece of soft pine eighteen inches long, three mches wide, and half an inch thick. Extending lengthwise through the center of this is a slit a quarter of an inch in width. Working on an axle through this slit is a strong wire about thirteen inches long, with a hook at one end, upon which a loop is hung. At the axle lies a light ball of lead, through the center of which the wire passes. This ball is capable of running the length of the wire between the axle and the hook at the end, and is there for the purpose of sliding to the hook when the fish takes the bait and pulls the wire down to a certain angle.

The lead ball holds the wire down, the loop in the lice slips from the hook at the end, and the fish can run to whatever length of line the fisherman chooses to allow him. At the opposite end of the wire from the hook a piece of red flan nel is attached, and as the hook is drawn down the flag rises in the air and flutters in the breeze, thus signal ing to the fisherman that there is a fish at his line. About six inches from the edge of the hole in which the line is to be set a deep gash is cut in the ice, and into this gash the piece of pine is inserted at an angle of forty-five degrees. This brings the end of the wire from which the line is suspended over the center of the hole. A large number of men in the eastern part of Connecticut follow pickerel fish ing during the winter for a livelihood, and many of them make from $7 to $10 a day.

They find a ready sale for the fish in New York, New Haven and Hartford at from Soto 3c a pound, and the average catch for the "pofessional', fisherman this winter in the Connecticut valley is 700 pounds a day, and several catches of 950 pounds have been reported, but in these cases the fishermen had an assistant to aid him in attending his lines.

Epoch. of of The Man Countess J3arolta Vay Again Before the Public An Inquiry Into Her Mental Condition by the Vienna Doctoral-Some of thm Queer Pranks Which. Bavt Made Her Notorious. The Austrian Countess Sarolta Vay is again before the continental public.

She made her debut some ten years ago in Vienna in a cutaway coat, high, bat and extravagantly pointed patent leather shoes. She represented herself to be Count Sandor Vay, and met on the field of honor every man who dared to question her word. It was learned shortly after her first appearance in the imperial city, says the New York Sun, that she was in fact a child of Count Sandor Vay, formerly an imperial chamberlain and colonel in the Austro- Hungarian army. She was his first born after many years of married life, and was passed off in her early years as a boy by her mother, who feared to disappoint the father by confessing that the only child and heir to the immense Vay estates was a girL When Sarolta came to years of under standing, with a boy's clothes on her stalwart young form and a boy's train ing permeating her mind, she revolted against the idea of becoming a properly constrained young woman, and took to the gay world of the Kaiserstadt in he? habitual garb. Her life there was an open scandal.

She drank, bet, fenced, fought, gambled, rode fast horses, and instituted intrigues with numerous women, mostly soubrettes. She spent all the money allowed her by her father, compelled him several times, for the sake oi tne family's honor, to settle lor her obligations of thousands of dollars, and, finally, in desperate financial straits for money with which to continue her attentions to a Hungarian concert hall singer, forged a note for some $7,000. Then she disappeared. She turned up again at an Austrian summer resort, made love to young Marie Englehardt, daughter of a rich manufacturer from lower Austria, and, under the habitual pretense of Count Sandor Vay, 'married" her with tremens dus pomp in the Roman Catholic church at Graz. Just a few days after the ceremony the detectives in charge of the forgery case found and arrested her, but not before COUXTESS VAT.

she had spent all of Marie's dowry and got possession of a large part of her private fortune. She was tried, adjudged irresponsible, placed under guardian ship, and, with a shattered constitution, retired to the house of a friend in Prague. There for some time, she re mained quite secluded save for an occa sional utterance to reporters to the ef fect that she would fight any one of them who dared to write of her as a woman. The countess, however, had no idea of thus retiring permanently from the gayeties of the life which she had found so sweet. Unknown to the friends and guardian who watched her, she sent a letter to her Marie "adored Marie," as she called the manufacturer's daughter.

Marie was in the proper state of mind to be aroused by the countess' appeal ing communication, for, curiously enough, this hoodwinked and abused young woman was still full of devotion to the dissolute countess, called her "husband," and would not be consoled for the loss of her. She therefore at once got legal counsel and had an appeal filed against the order that had placed the countess under guardianship. The result of the appeal was prolonged court proceedings, and eventually, two or three months ago, an order for the examination of Countess Sarolta Vay as to her sanity by the Vienna medical faculty. The examination was made three weeks ago. Prof.

Dr. Meinert, of the Vienna medical faculty, reported that the "countess, with her excesses, social recklessness, falsehood and drunken ness. constituted: an example of what is known as moral derangement." The evidences of the countess' "moral derangement" are described, moreover, as her "fickleness in her intrigues with women, her utter lack of foresight In the use of money," her bitterness against Father Englehardt for his in- gratitude in protesting against the abuse of Marie's confidence," and her present expectation that her father and mother will allow her to continue her former life, In men's In short the Vienna medical faculty consider the countess irresponsible. Against this decision Marie and her attorney urge that, at the age of eighteen or twenty, when no one ever doubted for an instant that she was sane, the countess had the same peculiar conception of life and her life duties that she still has. Marie is, moreover, about to try a new line of legal proceedings with a view to rescu ing frenx virtual imprisonment the indi vidual whom she has promised to love, honor and obey."

Willard Winner announces that his great railway bridge across the Missouri river is now ready for the iron and it will be pushed to completion. The Maple Leaf is doing a heavy live stock business for a new line, and the managers of other lines are raising a howl, and declaring that this new road is cutting rates.

The Vanderbilt party will be induced to visit Kansas City on their western trip. This will be a great movement to the two cities, as a strong pressure will be brought to bear on the Yanderbilts to secure connection with the Chicago and Northwestern, which can easily be done by the new Winner line reaching up to the Iowa line. The Northwestern would be a very desirable acquisition to the railway interests of the two cities. President E. L.
