James B. Clews is about the same height
and build as his uncle and wears the same
size silk hat,
He has considerable more furniture on
the outside of his head, but it is doubtful
If the inside arrangements would compare
fayorably with those of his shrewd old
uncle.
When Mr. Clews finally did return to the
big room, having ushered the duke out by
q private door, one who had never seen
him bareheaded might have supposed
from his agitated air and the condition of
his head that he and the duke had been
having tussle in which Mr.. Clews had

fully under the electrics Thursday after
noon, and he added a new element of

shelter in an inner office. From there he
emerged only for q moment now and then
for the rest of the afternoon.
As soon as possible after o'clock he
dropped business, picked up an overcoat
and deserted the barn-yard, chipping cheer
lily to the clerks and the loungers still in
the outer offices as he passed out.
Mr.. Clews has had heaps of hard expert

the smashing of his whole basket of eggs,

his hair, he would be one of the youngest
old men on the street.

A THOUSAND MILLIONAIREs.
America the Richest Nation In the World
Rockefeller Heads the List.
New York World.

America the Richest Nation In the World
Rockefeller Heads the List.
New York World.
No greater than the wealth of America
was the tabled wealth of the Indies. There
are thousand Americans worth 81 ,000, $50
or more There are at lie asst five Americans
richer than Crrsus of song and story.
The wealth of the Duke of Westmins-
ter, whose fortune is the greatest in Eu-
rope, is at careful estimate, 10000, 600,
or $50 600 coo, and it is the accumulation of
a long ancestry. Most of the American
fortunes are the accumulation of single
generation.
The aggregate wealth of the Rothschilds
reaches nearly 81 600, oO0, 900, but it is dis
tributed among so many that no indi-
vidual Rothschild is worth over SAC, 0O0, 600.
The Vanderbilt family foots up nearly
$3.50. OO0, 600, and is held in comparatively
few hands. There are scores of Americans
who are richer than any ruling monarch
Of the Eastern hemisphere. The incomes
of many monarchs are large, but they are
derived from the civil lists of the countries
over which they hold sway and do not rep
resent the accretlons OF their own fortunes
As a people the Americans are the rich
est in the world. Money is more easily
acquired here than anywhere else, and It
is likewise more literally spent. What are
considered moderate fortunes here are in
other lands regarded as stupendous aggre-
cations of wealth. There are no such OPP
portunities of making money in other
countries as in this, and therefore il may
be expected that the number of American
millionaires viii be multiplied and the
fortunes of present millionaires doubled,
tripled and quadrupled within the next
two decades.
AS fortunes go nowadays in America one
of $4,000, 600 is not considered particularly
great. There are thirty-lve fortunes of
that or greater magnitude in this country.
There are three men who are worth $780,
600, 900 or more. The list of the Americans
who count their wealth at 5000. 600 ard

Mr.. T. ]. Comins writes to the PosT-IN-
rELLrGENcER stating that he was the cruiser
and locator employed by John F. Camp
bell, the Ascending timber land swindler,
and was never paid his wages. Part of his
outfit was taken away with the pictures by
the man to whom they were sold. He
says that he was one of the dupes instead
of being in with Campbell, as some may
suppose, and promises Campbell a warm
greeting If they ever meet.

There Is remarkable young girl up

worth chronicling is sad comment on
the cheap and perverted taste for lirera-

the young people all about US.
She was recently asked II she had read
certain new society novel, OF which

young women particularly grew warmly
