THE SIMPLE LIFE.
A LEGACY REFUSED. BUT AFTERWARDS ACCEPTED. [A. and N.Z. Cable Association.] NEW YORK, July 19. Charles Garland, a young man inherited with a brother, several million dollars left by an eccentric uncle who lived in a large hut on the estate, the grounds of which were filled with most curious statuary. Charles, for a time, refused to accept his share declaring that riches spoilt life, and he retired with his .wife and two children to an abandoned farm, living a crude simple life. After a time, however, he accepted his share of the fortune, and has now donated 1,000,000 dollars to an American Fund for Public Service Organisation, to be used to aid agencies which are so new or experimental, that they do not command general public support.
