GIRLS WITH FORTUNES.
Marrlageable American MaIdens Who Arc
Worth @57,OOO,OOO.

Miss Drexel and her two sisters arc
said to be the three richest unmarried
ladies in the United States. This state
ment is open to dispute. These three
ladies were left fortune of $4,000, 900
by their father, the late f. A. DreXel.
1t was so invested as to bring each an
income approximating $500, 900 yearly.
Miss Mary Garrett, daughter of tho
late railroad king, was left SIC, 900, 900.
Miss Garrett is a money-maker, and
accumulated fortune since her fathers
death, so that the combined fortunes
OF the Misses Drexel can not equal
hers. 1t Is undoa btedly true that the
Misses Drexel are the three wealthiest
unmarried sisters in the United States,
but it is likely that to Miss Mary Gar
rett, daughter OF the founder of the
Baltimore q Ohio railroad, and not to
either of the Misses Drexel, belongs
distinction of being the richest I'M
married lady in America Miss Gar
rett is probably better business wom-
an than either of them. She has the
commercial acumen of her father, and
her penetration and discrimination in
business affairs are much remarked
among business men of Baltimore,
where her movements in commercial
Affairs are watched with much interest.
With oil fhis .uAn1tb NJ ha, Il &c
posal, Miss CARROTS chief character
istic is her modesty, which hardly
seems compatible with the hurly-burly
which the management of $4,000, 600
would entail. 1t is well understood
that Miss Garrett, and no other, man
ages her large fortune. Had her
brother Robert been as careful a finan-
cier the Baltimore & Ohio road might
still be controlled by the Garrett es-
tate.
1t is said that Miss Garrett, in her
efforts to turn an honest penny, re-
ligiously avoids the speculative ex-
changes, having morbid fear that if
she once gets into this whirlpool Gould
might drag her down. If Gould ever
gets the advantage of Mary Garrett it
will have to be in deal in Govern
ment bonds or gilt-cdgod real estate.
After the Misses Drexel and Miss
Garrett comes Miss Nellie Gould as a
rich unmarried woman. Miss Gould is
much younger than either of the
others. Unlike them, she is not yet
rich in her own right, but prospectively
she ranks fourth among the wealthy
unmarried women Of the United States.
If her father meets with no reverses-
and he seems able to take care of him
Self-her individual fortune ought not
to be far from $4,000, 900.
A Philadelphia banker recently said
to the writer that the combined
fortunes of the three Misses Drexel,
counting the accommodations since their
fathers death, was not far short of
SIS, Miss CARROTS fortune
must now be $22, 100000. and if Miss
Gould can muster $40, 000, 900, we have
So, 900, 600 to be divided between five
unmarried American girls, either one
of them worth any mans love although
she did not have dollar instead of
many millions. Philadelphia Letter.

FREAKS OF FORTUNE.
An English Viscount Who Plays a Street
Organ In London.

Organ In London.
There is saying, peculiarly Ameri-
can, that in this country the first gen.
Grafton make the money, the second
spends it, and the third begins over
again. This is not SO true as it was
some years ago, when fortunes were
made in a day almost, and it does not
apply to fortunes gained in European
countries. Colossal estates and prince
ly rent rolls are there handed down for
centuries, and grow larger instead of
smaller with each generation. Yet
there are European instances of the
vicissitudc5 of fortune hardly less
startling than occur in this country.
Italian Counts as peanut vendors,
and German Barons as walters, form a
standing jest among humorists, but
there is reality to bear out the humor.
In Great Britain, likewise, ducal fort
unes have been squandered, and the
number of titled personages engaged
in mental occupations is surprising.
The papers recently contained an ac-
count of the discovery of an heir to a
noble estate in the person of a Mel
bourne constable, and few weeks ago
hotel porter in St. Louis was recog-
nized as an English Earl The most
startling case, however, rests on the
authority of an English paper. There
is young man in London who was for
two years a clown and contortionist in
the Surrey Theater. He now plays a
street organ, with card on his breast
bearing this astonishing inscription:
Utterly destitute! am Viscount Hinton, the
eldest son of Earl Poulett-ride 'Burke's Peer

indeed. Golden Days.

the Fhiludelphian, who twelve years ago was

Wallace l.. Hight, the ambitious but only
partially successful emu]ator of Bishop, were
transparently of that not uncommon class Of

ent 1t appeared to mako little difference
with him as to who was the medium Of his ex-
pcrinents, and while many Of them are ex-
painable on the easily understood and demon
strable theory of muscle reading, there are
many strange things accredited to him which
arc not exnlainable upon that hypothesis.
Those versed in the art of necronancy diff
fer rs to whether Bishop was merely a trick
ster or an nbnornally gifted being, endowed
with n sense whose keen perceptibility is not
within the comprehension of meaner mortals.
The testimony Of those who have been
closely associated with the dead man has an
interesting bearing on this question, Dixey,
the comedian, whose guest Bishop was at the
Lambs club in New York, where he found his
end, has long been intimate With him. Di1ey
