A Unique Trustee.

The "Wilmington (Del.) Star tells of a trustee unique for his honesty and disinterestedness. He was appointed trustee in 1872, at which time the estate was valued at about. $190,000. His final settlement show's, as a result of his manipulation, an estate valued at between SBOO,OOO and $900,000. In the course of the settlement the register allowed his masterly financier SII,OOO for his services, but he would not accept a penny. “Let my allowance go to the heirs,” he said, and then he added, modestly: a I didn’t do a 9 welt with the estate as I might have done.”
