A = telephone Millionaire.
From the SfLouis Republican.

Alexander Graham Bell is a very rich
man, and so are all his relatives. While he
cannot be deprived of his present riches, yet
his future income is very much in doubt.
Should the decision of the United States
Supreme Court be adverse to Bell the people
of the country will get cheaper telephone
service and the Golfers of a great monopoly
will be no longer stuffed full to OVERLOOKING.
Bell is a handsome Canadian, and Enjoys
the luxury of the handsomest house in
Washington, for which he paid $4,000.
He is a well-built man, with black hair and
beard, just beginning to turn gray. and has
a young looking face. The interior of his
home ssuperb. Water colors, rare paint
ings and soft etching surround you on every

which adjoins the main entrance, is model

rare literary productions The binding of
the books IS of the highest perfection, and
you almost fear TO touch the covers. Many
of the chairs are of carved candle-wood

million which he quickly lost in other ven
lures. Then he came back and by hard
work accumulated $1,000, 600, which went
into mining enterprises in Arizona and Cal
ifornia, and never came out He has made
at several times smaller amounts hardly
worth mentioning, and now, although ne Is
nearly 40 years old, he is far from beng
discouraged, and says he will be on ms
financial legs Def re long He Is full or
that energy peculiar to oil men and Is bound
to come 10 the top Of the heap.
IL has cost $50, OO0O 900 TO pay the storage
and carrying charges on the stocks since
Jan. !, 1881, or very nearly twice what the
entire amount of oil on hand would bring II
sold at present prices. The annual loss to
oil spectators on the fluctuations of the
market has been $40 ,0O0, 0O0 or a total OF
100000 900 since Jan. /, 1851. This estimate
of the annual loss may seem large, but prom
inent brokers say it is not large enough.
One broker said his customers alone lost
$3,OOO,O 900 in 1882 and $500 900 in 1888 1t
has taken about S2l 100000 to pay the
brokers commissions since 1881, making a
total Of $l4l, OOO, 900, which loss has been
carried by spectators in seven years.
Is 1t any wonder that most of them have
'ost money. If a man is going 10 take
flyer in oil he had better take it on the pro-
duclng side of the business Few men have
gone into producing oil but have made
money, provided they conducted their busi-
ness in Legitimate manner and did not try
and capture the whole world.
Since 1859 there have been drilled about
81 600 wells at a total cost of 5000 900.
These wells have produced $50 100000 bar
rels of oil, which have been sold for
500, 100000, leaving a net profit of
$40, O00O00 The three largest companies
engaged in the oil business are the Forest
Oil Company, the Anchor and the Union
companies. All these pay good dividends,
the Forest paying II per cent. year.
Oil producers are divided into two classes,
the daring wildcatter who, going far from
all other fields, leases huge tracts of land
and tests them by drilling several wells. If
he is lucky enough to strike good well his
fortune is made. The other class, as con-
sentative as the wildcatter is reckless, go
about the thing in a business-like manner
and buy property where it has been proved
that oil exists in paying quantities. They
have the business down so tine that they can
tell you almost to a week how long 1t will
take to pay for their property with oil at
certain price.
There are any number of men who, be-
ginning with few hundred dollars, have
made $4,000, 100000 and 5000 900 in the
last few years. The oil fields of Western
Pennsylvania are the richest in the world,
and there is more money in oil producing
than there is in the United States Mint.

Eating 100 Eggs at One Sitting.


At the Hoffman House last night party
sat table in the art gallery making wagers
each on his own particular trick. young
broker, who spent last summer with his
grandmother in Jersey. won pocketful OIL
greenbacks on a trick taught hun by the
good old lady. He had lost considerable
money on catch-bets when he offered 70
wager any one in the party that he could
eat more eggs than any other three men
present, provided he was permitted to nave
the last turn. A doctor, a coroner and q
bank teller took the bet. After brief
discussion the three gentlemen decided to
tackle fried eggs. He repaired TO an all
night restaurant in Sixth avenue, famous
for the encounters which men about town
have bad within its portals, and ordered
batch. Every man ate and the waiter hand
ell check for several dozen.
Then the young broker that had learned a
thing or two from his Jersey grandmother
directed the cook TO crack and spill into
large pan 100 fresh eggs. Before putting
the eggs into the pan, however, he ordered
that it be half filled with vinegar. His in
structions were carried out. After allowing
the mixture to cook a reasonable time the
cover was lifted and the eggs placed In a
big dish. BY permission OF the proprietor
the gentlemen interested had watched the
cooking When the eggs were brought
forth every one except the man with the
Jersey grandmother gave vent to ejacula-
tions of astonishment. The 100 eggs could
be conveniently put into an ordinary tea
cup. Then the owner ate them in half
dozen swallows
