it will continue operations the same as
in the past.
The guiding spirit from the first has
been John ID. Rockefeller. Before going
into the oil business he was a hook
keeper in Cleveland, Ohio. He induced
Mr.. Flagler, who had lost his means in
a venture in the Michigan salt fields, to
start with him small refinery in
Cleveland, and from that the vast in
terests have grown.
Both men were practically without
means. They obtained some financial
aid from Mr.. Brewster, who was a
''forty-niner," and had, perhaps. Sc, 900,
made in the California gold fields. AS
the business developed, but while it was
still in its infancy, the othermen named
above joined the enterprise, so that all
were pioneers in the Standard work.
opened few years ago, the Standard
was not producer. 1t refined crude Oil,
manufactured the various products Of
petroleum. like naphtha, paraffine and
lubricants, stored oil and transported
it by pipe lines and tank cars.
When oil was discovered in Ohio
IL bought all the fields it
could. leased others and made con-
tracts for the production of indie
pendent owners. Quite recently it Sc
cured portions of the newly discovered
fields in Pennsylvania.
The reason that Mr.. Rockefeller'S
fortune increased so much faster than
that of his associates was that he had
more courage. There was fear that
the oil fields would soon be ex-
haustnd. He believed that if they were.
other fields would be discovered, and
such proved the case. He put his profits
as fast as they accumulated into the
various Standard enterprises, and today
he holds about $4,000, 900 OF the total
Standard capitalization of $4,000, 600.
The others restricted their investments
in the Standard companies and applied
their profits largely to the purchase of
government bonds, railroad securities
and real estate.
The extent of the profits of the Stand
ard is shown by the fact that for several
years dividends of II per cent have
been paid on the total capital. For a
time after the Standards business was
started no dividends were paid. That
was not because no profits were earned,
but because of the need to use the
money made to enlarge the plant.
The Standards products are now sent
to every part of the civilized globe. Its
business aggregates S75.000.000 year,
$4,000, 900 of which is in foreign coun-
tries.

Monarchs, despite the splendor in
which they live, do not figure in the
comparison of riches with untitled
American citizens. The incomes Of
many of them are heavy. but they are
derived from the civil lists. In other
words, their subjects contribute the
money which they laviShiy spend.
Queen Victoria is, perhaps, the rich
est crowned head. She may be worth
S15, 000, 900, but not more. The stories
of her vast h0ardings are untrue. The
emperor of Austria is next to the queen
of England in wealth. Most of the
other European rulers are, fguratively
speaking. beggarS. The emperor of
Germany has nothing. The ear Of
Russia is poor in his own name, unless,
by reason of his being an absolute auto
crat. he may be considered to own the
land lie governs. The pope is without
personal possessions. All in the Vati-
can belongs TO the church.
Money is more easily made in Amer
lea than elsewhere because the Oppor-
tunities are more numerous and more
favorable. Fortunes of S1,000,000 attract
nc more attention nowadays than those
of 100000 did two decades ago. For
tunes are likely TO increase as fast, II
not faster, in the future as they have III
the past.

A large number of Republicans, the

the county convention at the court
house in this city yesterday afternoon.
TIC. Clark was unanimously chosen
chairman of the gathering, and N. d.

for secretary. The committee on Gre
dentials presented a lsto delegates ell
titled to seats, and the report was ac-
cepted- and adopted. The temporary
organization was made permanent, and
the matter of selecting delegates to the
state and congressional conventions
came I'D for discussion. A motion was
made tavoring the appointment OF
( committee by the chair TO select list
of names to be presented as delegates.
! This did not meet with the appreciation
of few Of the delegates, who desired
s that delegates to the conventions be
cilosen,by vote, and accordingly SUBJ
stitute motion with this object in view
! was presented. After considerable argu-
, ment the substitute motion was lost,
and the original motion prevailed. The
committee appointed to select names
presented the following list OF dele
gates, which was accepted and adopted:

When old John Jacab AstOr. his great
grandfather. came to this country from
Holland, he brought lot of musical in
struments which he traded with the
Indians for furs. 1t was in this way he
got his start in life. He extended the
fur business as rapidly as his profits
would allow. Finally, when surplus
money began to accumulate, he Invested
it in real estate. At last he gave up the
fur trade and put all his money in
lands. He bought along the Kings
highway, now Broadway. He and his
descendants acquired miles of farms
on and adjacent to the famous thorough
fare.
The section of New York in which the
lands lie is rapidly building up. 1t has
been the custom of the AStOrS not TO
sell lands, but TO execute ground leases
for twenty-One years, provision in
which was that the buildings erected
on the lands should revert to the AS

this way the lands have been improved
without expense to the AStorS.
The building operations on Manhat-

the eldest son, and it is supposed that
