by fashionable tailor, and order your sup
piles at expensive establishments; because
you have a pew in swell church and your
wife has a new bonnet every season; be-
cause you send your daughters to good
school, and because you do a score Of other
things, besides running in debt, that you
think indispensable TO life in New York;
because you do these things you
think your neighbor over the way does
not amount 30 MUCK he cleans the snow
Off his sidewalk in winter. He carries big
basket and buys his supplies ia the market
and sees that be gets his fall moneys worth
every time. He lives plainly at home, and
dresses plainly and sends his children, II be
has any, to the public school, and the fur
niture in his house is the same he bought
when he set up housekeeping fifteen or
| twenty years ago. But what il he should
| learn that he is millionaire and gives away
every year more than your entire salary in
charity? Perhaps you will remove your hat
to him next time you meet hun and your
| wife will perhaps say that her children must
really get TO know his.
RUSTIC MILLIONAIRE RICHARDSON.
There is an elderly man who, occasionally,
| is seen in Wall street, but not one in i've
hundred recognizes. His clothing Is so plain
and his bearing so meek that no one would
| pick him out for a millionaire. He mingles
little with other people. and looks more like
| a farmer than successful business man.
| Yet he Is Joseph Richardson, the contractor
1 and builder, once the president OF railroad,
and worth 81, 100000 or $3,OOO,OOO.
| There is another man in Wall street
| whose name is Herschel. He makes his
| headquarters most Of the time at Stout a.
| Thayer's. OF medium size. dressed plainly,
with face remarkable for nothing. except
| look of latent shrewdness, with glasses
that seem most Of the time about 20 tumble
off his nose. Here is man who is worth
heap of money, probably 81 ,OOO,OOO or
more, yet his name never gets into the pa
| pers, he is not seen in the clubs, and to all
| appearances is without any other ambition
than that OF pilipg up one dollar on top OF
another. Yet MIR. Herschel has measured
swords, financially, with Jay Gould. He
owned 100000 of Wabash bonds, and
in the Wabash reorganization he held
out against all persuasion and negotiation
| until he got principal and interest for his
| bonds Mr.. Herschel never deals in stocks.
He operates in bonds He generally talks
| poverty and has his money all locked up"
when the market is unfavorable for lending,
and when a good note can be obtained he
eau generally find few thousand dollars
to put out at interest. He Is an example Of
an absolutely unknown rich man-that is,
unknown except to his broker ana few
others who have dealings with him,

These are the names of few New York and
Brooklyn millionaires, who are known, OF
course, in their own circles OF business and
society, but whose names rarely If ever APP
pear in the newspapers, and who cut no
large figure in the life of the metropolis,
such as they would If they lived, with their
wealth, in other cities. This in many cases
is from choice. There are many people who
like to make money and enjoy it in quiet
and comparative privacy.
Men engaged In the shipping business do
not need to be told who Stephen w. Carey
e is. Yet his name is unfamiliar outside that
limited circle. Mr.. Carey, it is belle ed,
has made great deal more than $1,000, 00t
by judicious investments in ships. He be-
gan in the shipping business for himself
when he was OF age, and he has been re-
markably successful. Yet his manner OF
living though exceedingly comfortable, is
modest and retiring. He is a home man.
He has taken no part in public movements
Is not member Of clubs, though a kind
and congenisl man, ani he finds ample
enjoyment in his home aud among his
friends, and he seeks none OF the notoriety
Of wealth.
A. SMITH, MILLIONAIRE.
Augustine Smith, the dealer in paper, dc
you know him9 Have you ever heard Of
him? He is worth more than million. He
is on intelligent, keen man Of business, cour
teQus to all who meet him, yet unambitious
for prominence of any kind, and his income
is great deal more than be can find any
use for. et-
John Ofrien has been member of the
stock exchange since 1859, and he and his
brother William, pow dead, were unique
characters, but neither has had any wide
prominence. John O'Brisn is nevertheless
worth bis million or more.
Anderson Fomeer. the millionaire dealer
in lard, is one of the characters of the pro
duce exchange, but is scarcely Known out
side of that institution and. the trade in
which he is engaged.
ANOTHER FEMALE MILLIONAIRE.
You may read the society column very
| closely, but you do not often run across the
name Of Mrs. DR.. Vaudeville, who is several
times millionaire by virtue of the fortune
left her by her first husband, who was Nor
gan, the steamship man.
William r. Grace is a famous man. but
did you know he had a brother and partner,
Michael Grace, who is also a millionaire
Joseph J. O'Donohue is a very well knewn
man in New York, but very few people are
aware that he is one Of four brothers, three
of whom are living, each of whom made an
independent fortune of over million in
the coffee and tea trade?
J. W. Curtis and q. N. Curtis are two
millionaires, most of whose money was
made by their father in the patent medi-
cine business. They are members Of the
Union League Club. but are quiet men
who are not heard of in public very much.
Charles E. AppIeby is the name of law
yer who has an Office in the Bryant build
ing, and lives in Fifty ninth street, over
looking the park. His name is unfamiliar
to most New Workers and does not appear
in any Of the lists of millionaires that have
been published from time to time, but
though a worry plain man who does not
ever have his name painted on his office
door he has the reputation in the Bryant
building of being worth considerably more
than million.
THE LATEST STANDARD OIL MAGNATE.
One of the very latest additions to New
Yorks list of milhonaires IS Daniel O'Day,
and he is an interesting man, too. He is
very we'll known in Buffalo, and among
those who have business with the Standard
