commissions to several celebrated artists, and In
this way, and also by purchase, he made his most
important art acquisitions. Among the artlsts
represented in these later purchases were Jerome
Knaus Meissonier, FoItuny, Bouguereau, Boldin'
Zamacois Baugniet, POty and others. One oil the
later additions is that masterpiece OF MISSIONER
entitled 1907" or "Charge DIES Cuirasslers," Tor

picture placed in his gallery was The Charot

MP STEWARDS ESTATE.

HIS WEALTH ESTIMATED AT $4,000, COOLEST OF
HIS PROPERTY IN THIS COUNTY - IIs ASSESSED
vALUE-HIs ESTATES ELSEWHERE.
MIR. Stewart has long been regarded as one OF the
richest men in the United States Next to Cornelius
Vanderbilt and the late William b. Aston he was
probably the richest. Mr.. Vanderbilt invested in
railroads from their first introduction in this
country, and has amassed what is popularity sup
posed to be the largest private fortune in America
almost wholly III these productive stocks. Mr.
Astors great fortune of 500 100000 or $50 100000
was made, as il well known, almost wholly III real
estate operations, in city where such investments
proved to be exceptionally and marvelously
profitable Mr. Stewards fortune was made almost
Who'll in trade-hls real estate transactions being
subsidiary to his mercantile projects-and he took
no interest in railway of other speculative stocks CT
operations His fortune grew less rapidly than that
of the Others being subjected to Of trade
which that of the others did not feel but it is gen
orally estimated that he has lett property to the
amount of $50, 600, 900, and possibly more.
Following is list of the real estate held by Mr.
Stewart in this city it appears on the assessment
rolls in the Tax Office In addition Mir. Stewart
owned considerable real estate which was leased to
tenants who paid the taxes, and consequently did
not appear on record in the Tax Office in his NAME
but this is estimated at not more than $5500O0. 1t
is believed by the officials that the list given below
will not vary IL per cent from the actual amount
owned by Mr. Stewart in this county:

Total

Thus the total assessed value of all Mr. Stewards
real estate in this city, according to the official fig
ures is a little over $4,000 900, OIL which he paid
CITY tax last year of $780, The assessed values
il is well known represent about two-thrds of the
market value of city property, which would place
the aggregate worth of this property at $sOOO,0O0
"A reporter of THE TRIBUNE called last evening on
an official who is probably the best informed person
as TO the assessed values of real estate in this city,
and who Is personally acquainted with many OF Mr.
Stewards purchases. In answer to inquiries as to
Mr. Stewards probable wealth, and the value OF his
real estate in this city and State, he said that from
all he could learn and the information in his possess
sion as TO Mr. Stewards affairs, the Garden City prop
erty. near Hampstead on Long Island, was worth
81, OOO 900; the Grand Union Hotel at Sar-
atoga and appurtenances were worth another
million, and the Glenham carpet works and fac
tories, near Fishkil on the Hudson, possibly an
additional million. Assuming the NewYork City
real estate to be worth $S000,000, which was an
outside figure, the total sum Of these enterprises
would reach $11.O0O,000. Mr. Stewart has
paid a tax on personal estate on valuation OF
So OOO, 900 for several years He invariably paid
the whole of the purchase money for his
real estate In cash, never giving mort
o.ae but insisting on clearing of every
Remembrance. He was opposed to selling
any Of his real estate and thought to keep" 1t Is
aid of him that in later years he has frequently
forgotten the fact of his ownership OF certain small
