Thousand Dollars Day
Chicago Tribune.
CLEVELAND, ONO, July 12.-Mr. H.
NJ. Flagler said a short time ago that
John d. Rockefeller's income had
reached SO 900, 900 year. This startling
statement, coming from a man as well
informed as Mr.. Flagler regarding the
affairs of the Standard oil company, was
the basis of a careful inquiry among the
brokers and well-infOTmed nnanciers as
to the wealth of CIevelanders generally,
and it can be safely said that there are
no less than siXty-three milliOnaires
within the limits of the Forest City, to
say nothing of immense estates owned
jointly by heirs.
Mr.. Flagler's statement regarding Mr..
ROckefener's income would make the
head of the great Standard oil trust
worth $3.50 900 200 on 6 per cent. basis.
He said his own income was SO 900 900 a
year, and estimated Col. Oliver Payne
wealth at about twenty million dol
lars. But the Standard oil people are not
the only wealthy residents of Cleveland
whose holdings are represented in seven
and eight figures. SeIah Chamberlain is
worth SIG 900 200, most of which is in
vested in the best of railway securities,
and the S. V. Hardness estate =
divided but a short time ago be-
tween Mrs. Anne NJ. Hardness and
three sons, is said to have footed up
S28 900 900. The combined wealth of
Jeptha H. Wade and his grandson, Ho-
mer Wade, who have already inherited
al immense fortune, is certainly not less
than seven million dollars. 1t is only
short time since the East Cleveland street
railway company, in which Mr.. Wade is
the prime mover, offered a clear million
for the three street railroad lines con-
trOlled by the Hathaways and Robisons
The developments in street railways have
turned attention to Mr.. Wade's
real estate interests in the East
End of Cleveland, and it is only of late
that it has become generally known
that he owns twelve miles of street fronts
in that neIghberhOod. The Wade Park
property alone will eventually cover
street frontage of nine or ten miles.
Scores of other Clevelanders who long
ago passed the single million point are
put down for amounts ranging from two
to five times that figure. Charles A.
