in (3 The Staten Islander Denies illnvlng .Vlmle --- an Assignment. rile“? York, April 26.--Wall street received a surprise this afternoon when it was announced that Erastus Wiman, the well-known. Staten Island million- aire, and until very recently a member of the firm of R. G. Dun uh Co., mar cantile agents, had made an assign- ment for the beuelit of his creditors. Mr. Wiman, when interviewed this eve- ning, denied that he had mule Fin as. signment. He says that, being a Brit- ish subject and unnhle to own land in the State of New York, his large TPJLl estate accumulations on Staten 1mm have hitherto been held in tho I|aII|P of his wife. Several weeks ago this pro; - Prty, which, with development, would realize $1,()00,000, was ull conveyed lw Mrs. Wiman to a. trustee for the hem- fit of creditors, past. present or to come. In this conveyance M r. Wimun joined. The result of the creation of this trust, he says, is to place within the reach of creditors a. large estates hitherto UHR= vuilable to them, and is the only foun- dation for the story he has assigned. The deed in which Erastus Wiman joined with his wife, Eleanor \Viman, in a. transfer of 100 acres of land in Staten Island to trustee Davul King, for the benoiit of his creditors. although dated March 31st was not made public until to-dny. The and, the. property above referred to, includes EI-usrina. where Buffalo Ihll gave his Wild West show some yenrs ago, nnd which has ever since been more or less of a popu- lar Sunday resort for summer excur- sionists, besides considerable water front property on the noth shore and unimproved lands Mr. Wiman, it is said, estimates the property transferred for the beneiit of his creditors as worth $1,000,000, but other persons whose opinions have recently been asked do not value it as a quick asset in. more than $500,000, and they think that if a. forced sale were made it would not realize as much as that. No list of Mr. Wiurnn's creditors has been given out as yer. Among the smaller ones are the Central National Bank and the Chemical Bank. Cor. M. L, Strong, president of the former institution, said the total amount of Wiman's iudehtednesstothebault did not exceed $14,000, and that it was amply secured by collateral, so that really Mr. Wiman’s retirement from the tirru of R. G. Dan & Co. his indebtedness to the btuyk--that is to say, his secured loans-exceeded 820,000, tn he, has since reduced them to less than $14,- 000. Col. Strong said he. did not know of the cameraman until told by a re- porter, but he had known for some time that Mr. Wiman was in dith'eult- ies and that such an army-garment was in contemplation. He said that he should be surprised if Mr. Wiman's lia- bilities amounted to as much as $1,000,» 000. He thought that orololly if he were given tune by his credito s in which to turn around, pending an eas- ier condition of the money market, he might be ermhled to com eout all right. Col. Strong said he thought Mr, Wim- an had property worth more than his debts amounted to, and that if he were not forced to realize too suddenly, the unsecured creditors would all be paid in full. So far as the Central Nation- al Bank was concerned, it would not lose any thing. By all means, let the boy haveagar den and let him have a comidermle plot of 'ground, where he can raise flow- ers, and also edible Vegetables. Nam ing will ever taste so good to him as his own lettuce and beets and padishes, Don't imagine ior a moment, Mme-\- er, that your boy, unless he he a geni- us, will know how to take care ofthese plants of his. No matter how much he loves them, be will require a good many weary hours of careful teaching and trainingbefore he is able to do eifi. ciently even his small duty by his gar- den-patch. The trouble is that boys love so many things. If\thoy loved their gardens only/or their lessons on- ly, or ball-playing, or stamp collecting only; but is with them as with the perplexed lov!sr--"how happy they could be, with either, were t’other dear charmer away !" It is a good deal more troubleto see that the buy keeps his garden well than it would be to keep it yourself; but it is a good deal of trouble to bring a boy up right anyhow, and that is something that a mother might as well understand "at the outset, Those who try to do it by easy means generally rue it with ami- uish of soul in the end. " never knew a boy who was fond of a. garden," said a wise man who had many boys, "to go far astray. There seems to ho something about working in the soil and loving its produces that does the boys good morally as well as physically.” And honest Jan Ridd says, "The morea man can dmg his arm around Nature's neck, the more he can lie upon her bosom like an infant, the more that man shall earn the trust and love of his fellow men." Again, he says "There is nothing better fitted to take hot tempers out of us than to to go gardening boldly in the spring of the year."And every one who has tried tfiisjiin testify that it is true. A certain little boy, who left a gar- den at home to take a trip with some friends, wrote home to his mother, "f am having a splendid time, but T wish every morning than I was sitting on MR.

This little boy always thought that, some time, if he watched closely enough, he should see a flower open. but, beyond a few four o’clocks, he has never wit, nessed this ever recurring but magically secret phenomenon. . ' Mining is often n series of accidents, most of which are misfortunes, but, oc- caenonnlly the prospector is rewarded when he least expects it. The Boston Globe has collected these examples of lucky bids : Three men while looking for gold in California discovered the dead body of a. man who evidently had been "pros- pecting " The average daily attendance at the Centennial was 62,333 ; the largest at- tendance was 274,919 , the smallest 12,720. The daily average at Paris 130,000 , the largest single days admis- sious, 400,000. While the circumstan- ces and conditions surrounding the Columbian Exposition differ materially from those of either the Centennial or Paris exhibition, the divergence is not great enough to affect a very near con- clusion from the figures given. The unavoidable inference drawn from every international fair is this: The attendance is very largely drawn from the population within a limited radius from the site of the exposition. Thus, for instance the statistics of the Paris exhibition show that on days when the attendance averaged 250,000, at least 120,000 came from Paris and its en- virons. Allowing for the difference in national habits which makes the Ameri- can regard a trip from San Francisco to Chicago with greater readiness than the Frenchman does ajourney to Ber- lin; allowing, too, for the unlimited stimulus to travel given by the excur- sion system planned by the railroads of this country for the coming event --talr. ( ing every possiblefaeeorr into account, it seems hardly possible that more than an average of two hundred thousand uorrresidents will be in Chicago during the Exposition. Assuming, then, that two hundred thousand will be the larg- est awrage of strangers needing food and lodging in the city, no one familiar, with the situation would hesitate tode- Clare that the ordinary rule of supply and demand will prevail throughout the six months and that the price of living will be as reasonable as could be expected. "Let's give him a decent burial," said another. "Some wife or mother will be glad if ever she knows it." They began to dig a grave. Three feet below the surface they discovered signs of gold. The stranger was buried In another place, and where they had located a. grave they opened a gold . ' mme. An unsuccessful Australian miner went up and down Colorado for several months "prospecting for gold and find- ing none. One day he sat down upon a. stone, and while musing over his hard luck aimlessly struck a stone with his pick. He chipped off a piece and sprang to his feet. The chip was rich gold quartz. He hurried into the lit- tie town of Rosita, and went to the assay otfice, where a teamster had just dumped a load of wood. He agreed to saw the wood to pay for assaying his chipped sample. The result of the HSde sent him back to his "claim." When he had taken out of it $500,000. he sold the mine for $400,000 in cash and $1,000,000 in stock, An adventurer who had drifted to Leadville awoke one morning without food or money. He went out and shot a deer, which, in its dying ugonies, kieired up the dirt and disclosed signs of gold. The poor n n1 staked out a "claim," and opened one of the most profitable claims Cver worked in Lead, "Dmul Man Claim," the name given to another rich mine in Leadville, was discovered by a broken down miner while digging a grave. A miner died when there were several feet of snow 0n the ground. His comrades laid his body in a snow bank, and hired a man far 54 to dig a grave.

Money is a curious factor; it buys what we eat and d-ink, satisfiesjustice, and heels wounded honor. Indeed nearly everything resolves itself into money or its equivalent. The child craves for pennies, and the youth frr dimes, and the man for dollars. The carpenter shoves the plane, the black- smith swings the. hammer, the miner raises his pick, the farmer guides his plow, the. lawyer pleads his case, the judge administers the law, and the minister prays-for money. EVeryhody in all vocations works for money. In fact, man makes the money and money makes the man nowadtys. We all seem to look through gold spectacles. Thelarger the amounts seem the wiser and more important its holder or owner baromes Dollars and cents buy every- thing to adorn and gratify the taste. They buy the well filled shop, and cul tivated farm, the floating palace, the marble mansion, the elegant equipage, the best pewin the church, the most prominent box at the (war), and even a seat in the halls of legislation.

It smooths the anguish of sickness and often assuages the terror of death. Money stands at the brink of eternity, but cannot pass beyond. It buys the monuments to mark the rest- ing place of wealth, but it cannot accompany the immortal soul into the great beyond.
