PLENTY OF UNKNOWN MILLIoNAIREs.
There are scores of men in New York
ohio are milionaires that the vast majority
of people even here in the city have never
heard OF, or, II they have, know very little
about.
Take even Eugene Kelly, the Catholic
hanker who is worth from 800 900 to
4 SI5 100000. Mr.. Kelly is far from being an
4 obscure man, or one whose only claim to
1 pnhIio notice is his possession Of great
wealth. Yet how many people outside OF
high Catholic circles, In which he is known
for his philanthropy to the church or Or
known for his answering zeal
Tor the cause of home rule, really
know who and what Mr.. Kelly isl In any
other city such man would be the most
conspicuous inhabitant. His face, his per-
sonai traits, and the facts Of his career,
would be known to all. But here IN New
York Mr.. Kelly is, In a measure, lost in the
tremendous life of the metropolis. Yet Mr..
II Kelly possesses a most interesting person
/ atty. He would make study for a novelist.
h He is a banker and has his office in Elk
change place, but his name does not figure
IN stock exchange transactions, and rarely
does Wall street hear of him. He
h has a home in the city and another
in one of the Oranges, but
he lives modestly and without great parade
of wealth. He is oyer 80 years old, and
looks about 20. His manners are some what
4 brusque, but behind this brusqueuess there
n isl heart large enough to concern itself in
The welfare of his race Economical TO the
degree OF oddly in many small matters, he
n gives thousands to the Cause OF religion and
education. His office is small, diugy af-
fair the furniture in which would probably
not sell for over $50, but he gave $40, 600 for
the cause of home rule during the recent
parliame atary elections in Great Britain
and it is known that he cabled privately TO
John Dillon that he might draw on him for
$50, Oit necessary.
MR.. KELLY ANXIOUS TO SAVE $50.
n The way he subscribed S20,0 TO this
cause is an illustration of the curious con-
servatism OF the man In money matters,
this going hand in hand with a noble liber-
atty. Mr.. Kelly first said that he would
II give $4,000 Then somebody else, who had
subscribed $1,000, said he would double hi:
subscription. Mr.. Kelly said he would dc
the same and followed this up by stating
that if he thought this would be the last
battle for home rule and the last call upon
its friends for money he would give $50, 900
lie was inclined to think that he ought to
give that amount anyway. Then he changed
his mind and made the subscription $50, 900
but later on followed this up by cabling to
Dillon that he would make himself, as treas
urer OF the parliamentary fund, responsible
Tor $4,000 If necessary. Yet this is the
same man who, several years ago, after be
had subscribed $4,000 to the same
cause, and the irish leaders proposed to
Caole the amount, collected from all sources
over to Ireland without delay, objected
y because the foreign exchange market thai
DAY was so that it would cost $50 or SIC
a more to forward the money then than II
ii they waited until there was a turn in the
market and rates we're lower. He gives
away thousands of dollars willingly, bu

the benehciaries Of his bounty would throw
away without thought.
