A Sura Financial sIrn.

Col. Gabe Wharton two or three years
ago was sent to Mexico by syndicate OF
New York capitalists, including Mr.. Selig-
man, the famous Hebrew banker, who
wanted to build railroad to that coun-
try. Col. Wharton was not pleased with
the outlook, and reported to the company
that the prospect did not justify the ex-
pense. Mr. Seligman, who was much in
terested, and thought that great fortunes
were to be made in that part Of Mexico,
was considerably disappointed. He
thought perhaps Wharton had not in
formed himself sufficiently on the re-
sources of that country, and so expressed
himself.
Colonel" he asked, ''why dc you think
our railroad wouldn't pay?"
"Well, the fact is, Mr.. Seligman," said
Wharton, 'When l went down there to
study the industrial status of the country
was Immediately struck by the fact that
there were NO Jews there. Where there
are no Jews there is no business enterprise
and no prosperity"
Mr.. SeGgman was immensely pleased
with the keen response. Post

The Richest American Actress.

Lotta owns in her own name and with
out membranes the Park theatre in
Boston and the International hotel prop
erty in front of that place of amusement
For this sbo paid $3.50, 600 in cool cash in
addition to $25, 600 that she paid to Henry
L. Abbey for the movable property it
contained, such as scenery, furniture,
carpets, etc, opera chairs and gas
fixtures. The theatre is said to be the
best stocked in this country. There are
over twelve complete sets of stage furni-
ture, one costing $500, another $3.50, and
SO on.
In addition to the gcenery in the theatre
over forty complete sets were found stored
in an outside warehouse. ALI the "prop-
critics" were estimated to be worth not
less than $50,000, so that prudential Miss
Lolita and her ma, with the wary flnan-
cial eye, were not driving bad bargain
In addition to this Lotta has 800, 600 in
vested in different manufactures and
dwelling houses in New York and Har-
lem. She has one house and lot covering
nearly q square and originally costing
800, 900. She has house and property
on Staten Island, and in Akron, Chicago
Kansas City and San Francisco Add to
all this the 500, 600 worth of jewelry and
you'll see that the sum of 1000, 600 does
not fully represent her posseseions.-Bos-

LOG CABIN SUCCESS.

What ai 8 the young men
Robert Garrett's father left him for
tune of twenty millions. He was from
childhood reared in luxury; he received
a splendid education with an especial
training into q thorough knowledge OF
railroad management and was expected
to succeed his father as railroad king.
Within three years after the RESPONSE
bilities which his fathers death threw
upon him were assumed, he is reported
a broken down man, with mind and
health permanently shattered.
George Law is another young man left
with millions of money, who is reported
among the wrecks" His father, bred
q stone mason, was of gigantic size and
strength, with commensurate brain pow
er, so he became great contractor, then
q railroad king and left half a dozen
millions for his son to dissipate. The
young man is a success as dissipator.
The founders OF both OF these great
estates were born in the most humble
walks of life, grew strong, mentally and
physically, by simple living and honest
labor and developed into financial giants:
Their sons were reared in the lap OF
luxury and developed into lntellectuai
pigmies.
as a rule, come from the elegant man
sions of the cities, but from the Log
Cabins of the rural district. Simple
ways of living, freedom from dissipation
and enervating pleasures, simple RENE
dies for disease, effective and which
leave no poison in the system, develops
brawny, b Amy men, who compel the
world TO recognize their strength and
power.
The wholesome, old-fashioned Log
Cabin remedies are the safest and surest
for family use. Our grandmothers knew
how to prepare the teas and syrups Oi
roots, herbs and balsams which drive
disease out of the system by natural
methods and leave no after i'll effects.
The most potent of these old-time RENE
dies were, after long and searching in
yestigation, secured by III. ii Warner ol
safe cure fame, and are now put out fol
