What a Prosperous Newspaper
is Worth.

The value of the New York Sun is
represented by $50 shares of stock, Of
which one share was sold the other
day for Sil00. This puts the value of
the whole at 81 ,400,O35, not bad esti.
mate for a small daily. But this
sum does not represent the real value.
For reasons best known to parties
concerned, this single share was not
BID up to its real value; it was sold
cheap. The SEXUAL price of Sun stock
is $4,000 per share, which brings the
value Of the entire interest up to
81 10000. Five thousand dollars per
share is five times more than par value,
which is $1,000 per share. For years
the Sun has paid fifty per cent divi-
bends on the par value Of its stock;
50 that one share brings in the holder
SoOO per year. At this rate of inter.
est, $4,000 per share is not high price.
Mr.. Charles A. Dana's income from
salary and interest on stock is said to
be $4,000 per year, and Mr.. Eng.
lands, the publisher, is very large.

a broken iron pump handle, pair Of

The stove set fire to the rolling pin,

DAN RICE.
The Strange Story Of the Life of
the Veteran.

Cor. Chicago Tribuns,l
Haven't you something of interest
to relate about your own circus life
and the show business in general?" [
inquired of Dan Rice, now sojourning
at Wheeling, w. Va.
1.-THE story of my life is a strange
one, a very strange one. Forty years
ago l first entered the ring, and since
then probably twenty circusses have
existed under my name. For nine
years | received a salary of $1,000 per
week, and | know all men who have
gained distinction in the ring. have
been worth over 100000, and l have
given away as much. Forepaugh,
Nathan, Cooper, Bailey & Co., E. r.
Spalding, Avery Smith aud other we'll
known managers have travelled under
my name, and w. c. Coup, who now
has the best circus in the United
States, was once a side Snowman with
me, and is very likely and liberal
gentleman for all that. The Jokes of
old Dan have been heard in almost
every city and town in the entire land.
| have put up tents throughout the
entire West, which would no more
hold the people who foeked to my
shsw than this room would hold the
crowds who throng weekly the church
of Talmage or Beecher. There are
four circuses travelling now under my
name-one in Texas, one in Arkansaw,
one on the Mississippi river and one
in Australia East in the spring,
north and northwest in the summer,
and south in the fall is the order of
circus going. But my mind wanders
to night. Old Dan is not himself
any more. A circus clown is not a
very elevated character in the eyes of
the world, but with all his failings a
circus clown has a heart; and doesn't
the Bible say, Judge not that ye be
not judged?'
And so the old man talked for a
couple Of hours or more. He told OF
his divorce case, of his intention to
lecture one hundred nights at 500
per night; and as now and then he re-
called the scenes Of his former days an
expression of sadness would pass over
his aged face; for whisky and time are
fast doing their work for Old Dan.
