The Brooklyn Eagle gives the
estate ot the late C. P. Huntington,
. valued at $50,000,000. No sur

again.^ 30,000 to his adopted daughter
—tue Princess Hatzfeldt. The mon
i: *y is put iti trust for her and goes
%per children at her death, if sue
have any, and it is not to be
n any way f,r the debts 03
sband. Thus does the shrewd
old American protect the property
o! wue irom a spendthrift husband.
It is worthy of note, also that the
estate goes to men and women who
live orderly and quiet lives and who
will not devote themselves to squan
dering what they have not earned.

John Morgan : I rented my cabin
and contents to a blonde representa
tive of the demi mondephe moved
out,taking the contents with her
and forgetting to pay me the rent.
1 went to her new domicile and sug
gested,that as a cold snap was due,
I would like my stove and a few
bedclothes, I was informed that a
certain ex-ofhciaI had presented t e
outfit to her and I was politely told
to move off or lie perforated ; I flew*
sans stove, sans bedclothes, sans ev
erything.—'The ex-; fficial was seen
amt he stated she had agreed to pay
him for the outfit and asked that no
notice be taken of the matter as the
contents of the Morgan cabin he
c’aims as being in his charge and
never were sold. '
Johnny is still wondering where
he comes in at.
