THR BIaGEsT SALARY.

II is believed that the largest salary paid
to any man in Now York city-or IN the
United States. for that matter is received
by Henry y. Hyde, president of the Equi-
table Life-Assurance Society. Persons III
all parts of the country who are making
heroic efforts TO get enough money To-
gether TO pay their too-frequent premiums
10 Mr.. Hyde's alert agents will be inter-
ested in knowing that the salary of this
gentleman Is believed by those we'll in
formed to be as high as 500, 900 year.
Mr. Hyde knows how much salary he re-
ceives and perhaps few officers
in the Equitable are also possessed
of the information, but no one else
is. IL is a trade secret" which is care
fully kept from the public. Ii is not so
many years either since Mr.. HYDE was a
solicitor tor an insurance company OF
which he was not president, aud very
good solicitor he was, too. The other
evening Dir. Hyde was being discussed by
some of his fellow insurance-men, when
one of them said: Il knew Mr.. Hyde
when he was soliciting, and there were
few who understood the gentle art better.
Indeed. doubt if there were any who
understood it as well. He was then o
member Of club uptown. and so welded
was he to his business that he would &C.
casionally turn his club conversation in
the direction Of the insurance with a view
~ writing o policy. There were some
dudes in the club-though they were not
called dudes at that time-who regarded
this as shocking breach of club etiquette.
/ think they lost some sleep over the I'M
speakable outrage, and then decided that
Mr.. Hyde must be compelled to stop it or
they would. out OF respect to themselves, be
obliged 10 withdraw from the club, In this
shape the matter reached Mr.. Hyde's ears.
He found there was considerable prejudice
in the club against the llfe-insurance bust
ness, and so he quietly withdrew from the
institution. but devoted himself with
more zeal than ever to his business. His
retirement from the club was really the
beginning of his success as an insurance
man. He actually worked night and day
and money began to roll in upon him.
Then came the organization OF the Equita-
Bile. and it was not long until Mr.. Hyde
could have bought his old club, its men,
bers, heirs, and assigns. body and breeches.
1t may be added. too, that tho club dudes
were quite anxious to have him rstarn TO
club lite. but he was much too busy to do

firm belief that 1t was the Treasurer's re-

the fine appearance that the house made
on that evening, and the magnificent dis
lance of the stage, which induced Mr..
Booth into the belief that, whatever he
might be, the managers OF the Grand
Opera House were " businessmen"
MIR. Poole got to know Mr.. Booth quite
well after that and says that he was even
then impressed with the love and affection
and respect which the actors and actresses
