ever since he started in small
oil refinery with capital of
5000.
Unlike the Rockefeller fortune
great fortunes of America and. OF
course, the great fortunes of Europe,
represent the successive ind sue
cessful labor of several generations.
The foundations of the Aston for
tune were laid nearly one hundred
years ago, and when John Jacob
Astor built the Astor House some
thing less than sixty years ago he
was already very wealthy man.
The Vanderbilt fortune is thirty
five or forty years old and the
Rotbschild fortune dates back to
the last century.
Although John D. Rockefeller
thus seems to be the richest man
in America he lives in a compare
atively modest fashion. He has
never built a palace on Fifth ave-
nue., and his equippage is not of
that gorgeous character calculated
to attract attention on the street.
His New York house is at No. 4
West Fifty-fourth street, opposite
St. Luke's Hospital. The house is
surrounded by spacious grounds
and is handsomely furnished, but
there is no ostentatious or even
notable display of the evidences of
wealth. There are no servants in
livery; in fact, there are no men,
servants whatever. The door is
opened by a maid in cap and
apron, and maid-servants wait on
the table. 1t has been repeatedly
remarked, by the way, that Mr..
Rockefeller looks like a preacher.
He is not a large or impressive
looking man, but has STOPPING
shoulders and solemn face. He is
is fact a deacon in the Baptist
church, and is probably the largest
contributor to the work and institu-
tons. He and his family are not
occupying either their house in
New York or the house in Cleye-
land. They are apt to go to Green
wich, Conn.,, or down to the sea-
shore for few weeks. Atlantic
City is frequently chosen.
John D. Rockefeller's immediate
family consists at present of his
wife and two unmarried daughters.
Edith. the elder, is twenty and
Alta is seventeen. They are said
to have a quarterly allowance of
$500 each, and out of this they
dress themselves and pay all their
incidental expenses. The eldest
daughter, Bessie, married in 1889
Rev. Chas. l.. Strong, a young Bap-
fist clergyman and son of the pres
ident of the Utica Theological Sem
mary. Alta, who is very pretty.
with vivacious face, lit by pair
of brown eyes, is ambitious to be
great musician and practices
three hours day. Edith is said
to be determined to learn Japanese
and to 90 to that country as a mis-
sionary. Presumably, the Rookie
fellers have great many relatives
about whom nobody ever hears.
The wealth of John D. Rockefeller
will probably be divided up at his
death between the immediate mem.
bcrs of his family and the Baptist
church.

A series of Horrible Grimes.

Especial to TIE HERALD-Examiner Cable.l
VIENNA, Aug. ia series Of horrible
crimes have Just been unearthed in this
city. A couple named Francois and Resale
Schneider living in an isolated house IN one
of the SUBURBS were IN the habit of decoy-
Ing servants to the place by means OF ad-
vertisements offering them situations IN
the country. Having got their victims IN
the house they murdered them and robbed
them, burying the bodies in the cellar. The
police were put on the lookout by a servant
who had been assaulted by the Schnelders
bit had been fortunate enough TO escape
alive. An investigation followed and seven
bodies were found buried under the house
occupied by the murderers. The criminals
are under arrest
The above series of crimes and their
mode Of commission recall a similar series
committed by the Mannings, man and
wife, in England years ago and for which
they were hanged. incidentally 1T may be
mentioned that Mrs. Manning having been
hanged in q black satin dress, black satin
gowns subsequently went out of fashion
IN England.

Balfour's Irish Land Policy.

LONDON. Aug. 11.-Balfour, chief secre
tary for Ireland, in speech delivered at
Plymouth yesterday, outlined his ideas on
Irish local government. He was aware
that many members of the Conservative
party disIiked his proposal, but he argued
there were two reasons why local govern
ment should not be withheld from Ireland.
The first was sentimental one-because
it had already been given England and
Scotland: and second, because local gov
eminent had been repeatedly promised Ire
land. Balfour declared it would be mad
ness to allow the councils to administer the
funds of any class not represented in these
bodies; such permission would convert
them into engines of tyranny and oppres-
sion.
The police question, Balfour continued,
caused alarm; but he would never consent
to the decentralization of the force Dy
handing over the local police, either to the
councils or to the councils in associa-
ton with the grand jury. He
further believed there would be
no serious attempt by the counties to Sc
cure conunol of so costly force. He was
compelled to sdmit he feared the first re-
suit Of the change would be to GUST the land
lords from a share in the government, even
though tuSy were Yuarueu IN the councils Oy
some form of minority representation. This
was to be deplored, bpt he trusted and be-
lieved as the political storm subside& as
ancient rancor was forgotten, as the grad
ual efficacy OF the land purchase measure
was felt, these gentlemen, if they remained,
would be largely recognized and elected as
the best men to carry on the county bust
ness and thus reconcile the classes which
had been too much aud too long separated
The Standard says: Balfour's declara-
ton regarding his Irish policy removes the
gravest objection to the bill. but there still
remains great deal to justify Irish 10y
alist misgivings, and that il will be desir-
able to Introduce stringent measures to
guarantee upright management of finances.
Tue Times says: His clear, vivid perccp-
ton of TIE dangers Of the scheme Is the
best possible guarantee that Balfour is hit to
cope with snd conquer them.
The Neps says: We gather from Bal
four's vague remarks there will be no
fancy franchises and no artificial restric-
lions upon the choice of electors. However
ingeniously framed, the bill will enormously
strengthen the demand for home rule and
make the crimes act q more ridiculous
farce than ever.
The Chronicle presumes the intention is
to make the Irish franchise narrower than
the English. Tho Chronicle emphatically
opposes any such policy. Ireland, it says,
10 entitled to absolute equality.

MRS. FRENCH SHELDON
She is Too LII to Relate Her
African Experiences.
Marcus Mayer Says il He had His Way He
Would Wipe Out All American Actors
and Have Nothing but English.

Especial TO THE HERALD-Examiner Cable
LONDON. Aug. 11.-Mrs. French-Shei-
don will not be we'll enough to address the
Royal Geographical society on her recent
trip to the kilimanjaro region Since her
arrival in Hampton she has been under the
care of two eminent London physicians
who have forbidden her to talk with any
body about her experiences in Africa. Mrs
Sheldon is in very precarious condition
yet, but her doctors say that absolute quiet
for few weeks will probably lead to her
recovery. So far she has been too weak to
leave her bed. Ii seems that from what
little Mrs. Sheldon has been able to tell
members of her family the severe fall TO
which she attributes her illness did not
happen while she was making her perilols
descent to the surface of Lake Chaia. Ihe
accident occurred on the homeward Jour-
ney after Mrs. Sheldon had covered nearly
a Thousand miles of difficult overland travel
on foot. Her porters were carrying her
along foot path which skirted the extreme
edge of steep river bank One of the
men slipped with the result that Mrs. Shell
don's palanquin was overturned and she
was precipitated thirty feet down the bank
into the river. Mrs. Sheldon was nearly
drowned as well as severely injured by her
fall.
American managers in London find that
American aspirauts to stage houors are
numerous and sometimes trying, but it is
little surprising TO be told that Marcus
Mayer speaks severely of the whole class.
Miss Austin, a young American soprano,
says she went to Mr.. Mayer in the hope of
securing an engagement to support Miss
Agnes Huntington. MIR. MAYER did not
show any interest, and finally exclaimed:
''If l had my way, would wipe out all
American actors and have nothing but
English. Only once in a great while is
there an American who is a success"
Miss Austin spoke OF Miss Hunting
toms achievement as illustrating the
fact American merit seemed TO find proper
recognition over here and that Miss
Huntington had wished to hear her sing,
whereupon Mayer retorted: "You can't
expect Miss Huntington to force American
singers down the throats of the English"
Miss Austin ventured TO recall to Mr..
Mayer what had been said American news
papers which hardly harmonized with his
views as expressed to her. ''Oh, we tell
q great many lies to keep before the pub
lic," was MIR. Mayors reply to this. After
this succient exposure of Mr. Mayors
views Miss Austin and her mother retired.

Hope For the CHILEAN Insurgents.

CHICAGO, Aug. 11.-An Iquique cor
respondent has been over the whole con-
gressional field within the last few days,
and is astonished at the great change for
the better which has taken place in the
condition of the insurgent party. From
all that he has seen and heard, he is con-
fident in the belief, in their expedition TO
the south, the congressional forces will
meet with success and prove victorious
over the forces of Balmaceda. Every in
dication points that way. The army is ad-
mirably drilled and in some way or an
other, the seizure of the Itata notwith-
standing, has been armed fully. The in
surgents' ranks are swelled by large &C
cessions of volunteers from the mining dis
tricts Of Antofagasta and Caldera. The
utmost unanimity prevails among the
leaders OF the congressional party.
Balmaceda's issue of notes tor 1891 was
refused at all northern exports held by the
Junta.
Much feeling is expressed here at the
delay in the Itata case. 1t is thought the
matter should have been long ago settled
and the Itata released. Unless Balmaceda
gets his two new cruisers soon his foe will,
unless all appearances are deceptive, gain a
substantial advantage over him. There is no
doubt there are many unwilling soldiers in
Balmaceda's ranks, men forced to serve
against their will, many of them are at
heart in sympathy with the insurgent
cause. 1t will not take much to put them
10 fight
