FittslHirg Steel King Celebrates
Golden Wedding,
HIS FOUR CHILDREN HIS GUESTS
Fulfills Promise to Distribute Wealth
Among Youngsters "In Time
To Do Them Some Good."
Pittsburc. P.I. Senf ft A !,.
golden wedding supper recently given
uy Mini ana nis whc, n; Mnger,
one of the Pittsburg steel magnates,
distributed $16,000,000 among his four
children, each child getting $4,000,000.
Through the filing of certain papers
in mc vuegucny county courthouse
yesterday this fact came out, and was
later admitted by the Singer family,
which is one of the best and oldest
m Pittsburg. The millionaire invited
his children to assist in celebrating
uis goiacn weuuing anniversary on
May 27. The children were the onlv
guests, and each found by his or her
plate a small "dinner favor," consist
ing ot cnccKs, bonds and deeds
amounting to $4,000,000.
The Singer children who received
$4,000,000 each are:
William Henry Singer, Jr., land
scape painter, now in Norway.
George Singer, iron manufacturer,
T! . . 1 . i tin .
jruisuuru, now in me wmte moun
tains on his vacation.
Mrs. William Ross Proctor, wife of
a Philadelphia architect.
Marguerite Singer, youngest daugh
ter, now living wun ner parents.
Sir. Singer made his fortune in iron
as a member of the famous iron firm
of Singer. Nimick & Co. He also is
connected with many banking insti
tutions in Pittsburg, and is considered
one of the very rich men of the coun
try, his remaining fortune, after giv
ing his children their share, being
probably $15,000,000.
Mrs. Singer, who has a fortune of
her own, made through investments
by her husband, received several
pieces of valuable real estate as her
golden wedding present.
A peculiar feature of the case was
made known late yesterday. William
Henry Singer, the son, who chose an
artistic career rather than the iron
business as his life's work, will scarce
ly be able to enjoy his millions in
. America, owing to the great fear his
wife bears for the "Black Hand." She
received a threatening letter at her
home in bewickley, and it frightened
her into hysterics. Her husband was
finally compelled to take her abroad.
It is said they will remain permanent
ly in Norway, as Mr. Singer expects,
in spite of his wealth, to spend all his
time in painting.
Mr. Singer is following the policy
laid down by his life-long friend,
Charles Lockhart, of the Standard Oil
company, who some years before his
death, invited all his children to a
dinner party, at which, under each
plate, was found $1,000,000. Lock
hart and Singer many years ago prom
ised each other that they would be
gin to distribute their wealth among
their children "in time to do the
youngsters some good."

The report is that the Harriman in

of a guarantee on the stocks of the
