LONDON’S PRINCE BOUNTIFUL.

Story Of Rich Bachelor. GENEROUS BEQUESTS TO CHILDREN. By Cable —Press Association —Copyright. Australian and N.Z. Cable Association (Received June 13, 5.5 p.m.) LONDON, June 12. The story of a wealthy bachelor, as Prince Bountiful, is related by the “Daily Express,” which discloses that the late Thomanson Jowett, steel manufacturer of Sheffield, left a fortune of £750,000. After making provision for his aged mother and death duties, Jowett leaves the residue to sixtyfour beneficiaries, who are mostly children of his friends, who will receive about £6OOO each. Jowett for years was one of the most popular bachelors in London, who began life in humble beginnings, and worked up his business from the tiniest affair. He lived for many years in a magnificent suite of rooms in Savoy Court. There he entertained his friends in the most lavish fashion, thinking nothing of bringing a Continental chef, specially to prepare a single rare dish for his guests, yet himself a vegetarian living in the simplest manner.
