New York's Indifferent Rich Men.

Mr.. Yerkes. the millionaire street rail-
way magnate OF Chicago. observe, is now
making New York TO some extent his
home. Yerkes is very remarkable ex-
ample OF what can be done in this country
in the way of developing a man of actual
force. Less than fifteen years ago he was
q fixture in Philadelphia with little or
no fortune and very poor prospects. As
sociating himself with Elkins and
Weidner, the manipulators of street
railway transportation in Philadel-
phia, he migrated to Chicago and
along with the others has amassed a
magnificent fortune. His wife, who is a
beautiful and attractive woman, finds New
York more delightful place of residence
than Chicago, presume, and she and her
husband have set up fine household
here. Mr.. Yerkes said to the the other
day that he thought he could in measure
account for the lack OF pride which rich
men feel in New York city, as compared
with the local pride entertained by resi-
dents OF Western cities and towns.
! 1t was his theory that very large per-
centage of the rich men of New York city
was made up of men who had acquired
their fortunes elsewhere, and who came TO
New York TO merely enjoy existence.
Many of them left behind them interests
which required more or less care and
watchfulness, and while they called New
York home and abiding place, the heart
OF each OF them was really in the Western
and Southern towns where the fortunes

MIR. Flagler's Fad.


The fads of millionaires have been
pretty generally exploited in the news
papers of late years. but l really can
recoilect nothing in our national history
which equals the Quixotic effort on the
part of Mr.. Henry NJ. Flagler, of the
Standard Oil tompany, to convert the
coast of Florida into combined American
Nice and Mentone. The old city of St.
Augustine was for years quaint and
pleasant winter resort. Running back
to 1000 or thereabouts, its antiquity
was a source of interest, and two
or three little cheap hotels managed to
exc out an existence there. Having
more money than he knew what to do
with Mr.. Flagler conceived the idea of
converting the stolid old Spanish town
into fashionable resort. He built the
Ponce de Leon hotel, one of the most ex-
pensive, rs well as one of the most beauti-
full structures in the country, and organ
lied several real estate and improvement
companies to participate in the effects of
his speculation. He also induced many
of his associates in the Standard Oil Com
pany to invest in lands throughout Flori-
da, and chief among his great schemes
was the construction OF a breakwater at
st. Augustine, with a view to making it
seaport.
1t is said now, or at least the story is ex-
tant, that the Ponce de Leon hotel was
built over made ground in very swampy
portion of st. Augustine, and that the
great palace is practically saturated now
with malaria. AT all events the hotel has
been practically empty all winter. Per-
haps if We had had colder season in the
North more rich valetudinarlans would
have been driven to st. Augustine.
But as our weather has thus far been ex-
ceedingly mild, the great Ponce de Leon is
almost as lonely as the broken palaces
of Alhambra. Ii is said that Flagler and
his oleaginouS partners absolutely own
more than half Of Florida. That is TO say.
the money which they have invested
there amounts to as much as the remain
ing portion of the state would sell for at
auction. The state is too small and insig-
nllicant to be of much service politically,
barring the two United States senator
ships. which can be secured by them when
wanted, l presume. And the great
expectant public is wondering how Mr..
Flagler is going to get his millions out of
the reeking swamps and everglades. How
ever, that is his own business. Although a
resident of New York city, Mr.. Flagler has
never taken any interest in metropolitan
affairs and | do not know that he has
associated himself with single movement
here except that which pertains to the
furtherance OF the great Standard oil
monopoly.

he, "a New Yorker when in New York,
but, of course, | am Chicago man clear
down to my heels. l am deeply interested
in, the development Of Chicago. but am
not particularly anxious about the growth

plain good deal of that indifference and
lack of civic pride which has earned for
New York very justly the contempt and
derision of the bright and growing cities
of other sections OF the country.

Fifty Balls in One Night.


New York at this season of the year is
essentially city of balls and dances; but
in these the Four Hundred and the One
Hundred and Fifty are not. A man whose
business takes him among the balls on
the East and West Side, where dances are
given, tells me that ON at least one
night this winter fifty dances took place.
The average. he says, is somewhere be-
tween fifteen and twenty-five night.
And these are the balls that yield enjoy
ment of the genuine type. All the various
orders and labor and political organiza-
tions have their balls. Ali the commercial
trades are represented in these merry af-
fairs. The employees of every conceivable
industry turn out and swing their part
ners to the lascivious blessings of the
string band. The other night the Necktie
Cutters assembled in one of the big halls
and enjoyed one of the merriest balls of
the season. The Blacksmiths' HELPERS
have their dance, and the Coachmen's
Literary Union meet in the social whirl.
So it goes clear through trade, commerce
functions of the Four Hundred are de-
cidedly mot in it." If Mr.. Rhinelander
de Peyster were to be caught at one of
these balls, the spectacle OF "Bertie, the
Lamb" as he emerges from his reception
on the Stock Exchange, would be moth
ing in comparison. But, while these.
events lay no claim to represent
ing neither the inner circle nor the
outer fringe of our ''best society,""
they nevertheless represent a good
type of American men and women, with
fine sprinkling from Ireland and other
foreign parts. 1t is here you see more
graceful dancers in one night than you
will see in weeks round of alleged
gayety on Fifth and Madison avenues
Here you find the maddening waltz in its
native purity, and the bewitching "danc-
ing in the barn." not only It'll you can't
rest" but until you have no desire to. In
addition to these We have the tough
balls" but these present phase of life it
were better not to dwell on in a chapter
devoted somewhat to the Four Hundred.

A SUICIDE CLUB.

The principal suicide club in this
country came into existence in Connect
icut, but California has its suicides,
A talk with well informed gen.
tleman, the ephysician-in-chiefo of the Cos
mopolitan Dispensary, corner of Stock
ton, Ellis and Market streets, San Fran
cisco, shows that suicides are frequently
caused by catarrh.
3We have specialist who devotes his
time to catarrh exclusively, he said.
"Is it such serious disease?"
Bronchial catarrh is much more SER
ious than many imagine When catarrh
has existed in the head and upper part
of the throat for any length Of time it
extends slowly down the windpipe and
thus into the bronchial tubes. The swell
ing and accumulated mucus in the brQn-
chial tubes produce bad cough. The
latter is not so bad in warm weather.
At first there is raised little blush,
| tough, tenacious mucus, which grad
ually increases in quantity and as
sumes yellowish color, with such
violent cough as to frequently
cause vomiting. The mucus raised
conteins small particles of yellowish
matter, sometimes of a cheesy consist
ency, which, when pressed between the
fingers, emit bad odor. When this
disease is not controlled or cured by
scientific treatment the lung substance
itself undergoes changes, and we have
developed that worst of all diseases-con-
sumption.
The Chicago Herald is authority for the
statement that the Cosmopolitan Dispen
sary is only exceeded by the huge dis
pensaries of Berlin and London, and as

of treatment the patients themselves are
the best authorities.

"Was it then that you went to the

"Yes, sir. 1t was a good thing

enough for them. Their physicians, I
think are the best on earth, and their

Mr.. Martin lives with his family at

dent of San Francisco for twenty years.

La Grippei

/ The The tendency of this disease toward
pneumonia is what makes it dangerous.
La grippe requires precisely the same
treatment as severe cold. Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is famous for its
cures of severe colds. This remedy
successfully counteracts the tendency of
the disease to result in pneumonia,
provided that proper care be taken to
avoid exposure when recovering from
the attack. Careful inquiry among the
many thousands who have used this
remedy during the epidemics of the
past two years has failed to discover a
single case that has not recovered or
that has resulted in pneumonia. Fifty

Inc twins are connected from the

Palr OF legs and 4 single abdomen. The
spinal columns are distinct until the
lumbar region is reached. There thcy

Sacruln seems to bc n single one. They
have two distinct stomachs, hearts and
pairs of lungs. The arterial and res
P-ratory systems are quite distinct, the
h@art-beats and breathing differing
often in the two individuals. At the
age OF thirty days they weighed eight
pounds, and in the next thirty-one DAYS
Siined nearly three pounds. 1t was ut
this period of their lives that they were
first subjected to critical examination.
Their lives are distinct. They have re-
gions Of common scnsibility, and of
parcly Individual sensation. One often
sleeps when the other wakes.
There Is no direct correspondence OF
their app2titcs. One may be hu nrrv

faces, not of The peculiar cast common

write tneir names as souvenirs for Wis

not yet succeeded in walking. as. each
leg Is governed by its own brain. The
want of correspondence has proved
fatal to any attempts IN this direction.
They can stand quietly. 50 that il is
