wealth Change. Hands.

From the New York sun.
Forty years ago you could count the
millionaires Of New York on the fingers Of
one hand, and the posscssors Of half mil
lion and a quarter Of 4 million were few.
Next TO the Astor estate the greatest Of tho
fortunes were then held by the sluyyo-
SAINTS and the Rhinelanders, and they
were old fortunes for this new country.
Tho families which most pride themselves
on their descent are either relatively or
actually poor. They have declined in
pecuniary importance during the last Gems
fury, while Others, upon whose hereditary
claims they look down with contempt, arc
today at the front In the matter Of wealth.
For the most part the wealth OF n hundred
years ago has passed out Of the families
which then possessed Il; and even where
Il remains, with the increase brought
about by the growth Of the town, Il Is
comparatively small. There has come up
a now crop OF rich men, beside whom the
older seems poor aud insignificant as 10
fortune. Tho Asiors, the Goelels, Jay
Gould, the Rockeiellors, the Moses Taylor
estate and many Others are at tho front la
that respect and tho former wealth Is cas-,
far into the shade.

HOW A CONGRESSMAN LIVES.
1t Costs Money to Keep Up Appearances
in Washington.

IN washington.
About the cheapest living for single
Congressman at q flrst-class hotel is $50 q
week, and II his wife is with him the cost
is doubled. Between this and the $40, 900
for the session there are all sorts OF accom-
modations, and the cost, OF course, de-
ponds largely upon the size OF the family.
The highest price paid by any member
OF Congress at this time for hotel accom-
modations is about 81, 500 month.
Senator Mcmillan and possibly two or
three others pay that. A bill of $1,000 a
month has been paid several times within
the last few years for board and lodging at
a Washington hotel, but nobody is paying
that now. Quite number Of Congress-
men pay at the rate OF $500 q month for
room and board and twice rs many pay
800 month. The latter sum is not much
above the average for Congressman who
have their families with them and live at
hotels.
clearinghouse life, says the Washing
ton Post, is undoubtedly the cheapest as
well as the least comfortable. II is only in
the clearinghouse that the Congressman
saves much money. The cost runs from
StO W hlKnbo.
A comfortable small home in a not too
fashionable part Of the city can be rented
for $40 a month. For 1900 year an
economical Congressman with a small fam
lily can live in such house and keep one
servant. Not many do it. Rents run all
the way up TO $1,000 a month. For the
Corcoran House, furnished, $4,000 a
year rental was asked, but it
was not paid. The highest rent
now paid by any Congressman
or Senator for house is 500 a month.
That is only So, 400 more than his salary,
but he Is in a much better situation than
was Justice Lamar when no was in the
Senate and was trying to rent house. He
found one that suited him, but the rent
was only 81, 400. "What on earth shall l
do with that other $500 OF my salary2"
queried Mr.. Lamar, as he scratched his
head in much bewilderment.
The Presidents situation as respects the
relation between salary and living expenses
is quite different from that Of Congress
man. The latter can live economically il
he wants TO, but the President cannot

South Carolina, promptly turned up today

an invalid, and on her account he was
passing the time at Fortress Monroe when
the news OF his appointment reached him
through the newspapers. Statements as
to his nativity and former career were so
diverse that he had some doubt as TO his
own identity. One announcement was
that he had been Governor Of North Caro-
lima; another widely circulated statement
gave him New York birthplace and an
intimate acquaintance with the late Daniel
Manning. The actual fact, as tho new
Commissioner emphatically declares, is
that he was born in South Carolina and
has all his life been identified with the
State OF his birth. Speaking OF his APP

lie believed in civil service reform, he
said, and in his first inaugural address az
Governor Of South Carolina in 1882 he
had expressed his views on the subject,
and in his administration OF the Office had
given practical effect TO his views. 1t was
his record on the subject, he thought, that
led to Mr.. Cleveland selecting him for the
Office as Assistant Secretary OF the Tress-
ury. The phrase "Public Office is pub
lie trust" he claimed, was first publicly
used by him in his inaugural in 1882.

A PLEASANT OCCASION.
Annual Picnic OF the Nelson Bushes.
College.

College.
On Friday last 200 OF the students and
friends OF this popular institution gathered
at the beautiful grove on the East End
Dummy line and spent a day Of pleasure
and recreation that will long remain in
their memories as an occasion the most en-
joyablo experienced in long time. The
attendance included all, from the tired
and worn father Of the graduate, stealing a
few hours from the cares Of business, to the
graduates little brother and sister, out 10
admire and worship their fortunate "big
brother" The time was spent in the
sports, games and little nothings usual
where the small boy, and the large boy and
his sweetheart are gathered in numbers,
including baseball, dancing, running races,
jumping matches, etc. A pleasant feature
OF the day was the awarding OF two oil
paintings by our popular artist, Miss Mag
gie Ashe, 20 the lady and gentleman win
ming In long throw OF the baseball, the re-
cipients being Mr.. Frank Baptist and Miss
Maggie Wharton.
Mrs. Nelson offered rs prizes 10 the best
lady and gentleman runner n silver medal
and painting, the product OF her own
brush, the winners being Miss Matte
Pontius and Mr.. L. Baptist. Miss Jeanne
q. Durand recited in a superior manner
n selection in French, receiving we'll
merited round OF applause. The affair Of
the day was happy interruption Of the
posing Of q group OF the graduates before
the camera OF Mr.. Crump, by Prof A.

The Eastern and the western soldier.

Capt Henry King writes as follows in
paper on "The Western Soldier" in the
Century for May: 'The thing about the
man from the Potomac that the Western
ers thought most peculiar was his persist
ent admiration OF Mcclellan. They could
not understand why he should think q

avoided so many defeats by reversing the
theory OF Hudibras that military honor Is

ence OF circumstances 10 which they were
always superior. lilo excelled them in
drill, they frankly acknowledged; he wore
his uniform rs II he had never worn any
thing else, and in all his actions there was
n distinct and self-conscious air Of martial
propriety. IL was not true, as was gro
tesquely asserted, that he wore n corset

But Il was true that ho was remarkably
iastidious, and attached much importance
10 his wardrobe. The deprivations Of the
siege Of Chattanooga would probably not
have vanquished him, had he been there

which was displayed in that extremity
Of hunger and raggednesA Perhaps he

something About the Proper Food for
Building Bones and Teeth.
From the American Analyst
Teeth are just as easily starved 10 death
as the stomach. In one way II is a bless
ing to have been born Of poor parents.
What food the poor give their children is
OF the variety that goes to make strong
bones and teeth. II is the outside OF all
the grains, of all cereal food, that contains
the carbonate and phosphate Of lime and
traces Of other earthly salts which nourish
the bony tissue and build the frame up.
II we do not furnish TO the teeth OF the
young that pabulum they require, they
cannot possibly be built up. II Is the
outside Of corn, oats, wheat, barley, and
the like, or the bran so called, that we sift
away and feed 10 the swine that the teeth
actually require for their nourishment.
The wisdom OF man has proved his folly,
shown In every succeeding generation OF
teeth, which become more fragile and
weak. These Touring mills are working
destruction upon the teeth OF every man,
woman and child who partakes OF their
fine bolted -four. They silt out the car
