sTANFORD's COLOSSAL FORTUNE,
1t May Be Twenty and May Even
Reach Seventy Millions.

Colonel Charles F. Croker, first
vice president Of the Southern Pacific
Company, and Stephen I. Gage were
among those who early called to pay
their respects. They went down on
the s o'clock train and at once entered
the residence. In about an hour Col
onel CroCker came out. He was in a
deeply contemplative mood, for doubt
less the circumstances called up the
scene of the recent death of his father,
who, with Senator Stanford, was one Of
the four men whose struggles caused
the building of the first Pacific road
and secured to them all their great
fortunes.
"Can it be stated definitely what
Senator Stanford's wealth ISL" was asked
of Colonel Croker. IL see it is put
down variously at from $40, 10000 to
$40, 900.
"Well, suppose these figures, varying
as they are, be left to indicate his
wealth." said he, in some perplexity.
@'The truth is that that is just about as
near as his wealth can be arrived to.
Conditions differ Property which
paid big profits last year may not be
paying nearly so much now, and, again,
property which was not remunerative
a few years ago may be very productive
now. The truth is that the true value
cannot be based on either Of these con-
ditions The estimate must be made
on averages and on what is prospective.
Most people have a wrong conception
of fortune. When they say man is
worth so many millions they estimate
those millions as SO many $40 pieces
counted out and in bank. That is not
the case Millionaires do not keep their
money that way. They could not fthey
wished, 1t is invested in great many
things, and may be scattered and com
prise the widest possible range of prop
critics. 1t is, therefore, difficult to tell
just what man is worth.
"Senator Stanfords property, stupen.
dous as it is, consists of many things.
In addition to a one fourth interest in
the Southern Pacific Company, he
owns the Gridley and Vina ranches,
and other lands IN Butte county, con-
sisting of some $4,000 acres. He also
owns the Menlo property, which, |
believe, consists of about 5000 acres
Then he owns innumerable bonds and
stocks, interests in San Francisco street
railways, large and varied city properties
other lands and lots than those | have
mentioned, and numerous vessels. He
was largely Interested in the Orienta
and Occidental Steamship Company
plying vessels to China and Japan

Are we to be, or not tc be,
a part of the Great Republic,
seems to be the burning ques-
ton of the day, and one we
had rather leave to wiser heads
than ours to solve; and while
great statesmen are wrestling
with this momentous question,
we want to have a little "b070-
7vo7v " with you on some other
subjects, that concern you as
well as ourselves.

Has it not occurred to you
that you've been wearing that
old hat long enough In these
progressive times if you intend
to be lin it, you've got to keep
pace with fashion. No matter
how otherwise well dressed
you may be, unless your hat is
the correct thing you bear a
shabby appearance.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1893-06-30


We have already laid in a
stock of the Latest Hats of the
coming Spring and Summer
styles, in hard felts, soft felts
and straws, and including a line
of the celebrated e" Fedora "
Hats, at present all the rage in
the United States. There is
therefore, no necessity for you
to hang on any longer to that
old Tile that bears such a
strong resemblance to the hat
your father wore.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1893-06-30

Believing that business will
be better in the near future, we
have not hcsitated to keep our
stock full in all lines. Take
collars for instance We have
almost everything you could
wish for. If you wear stand
ing collar, just come in and
take look at our '%Narenta'
or "Ardonia : or if you prefer
a turn down collar, try the
winnipeg" or "Goswell;" we
have have lots of others, and
can't fail to suit you. Cuffs in
abundance, links or otherwise.
Neckwear in profusion, scarfs,
windsors, 4-in-hands, and a
special lot of q" Boys Bows"
suspenders in great variety,
leather and woven ends, good
strong, serviceable goods.
We might go on indefinitely,
but space is valuable, and to
enumerate everything we carry
would fill a pretty fair sized
book. If there is anything
you want in the mems line,
just drop in and see us, and if
we can't suit you, we don't be-
lieve any one can.
If you should want pair OF
nice shoes, let us try a hand at
fitting you. Did it ever occur
to you
How much a man is like his shoes;
For instance, both soul may lose.
Both have been tanned; Both are made
tight by Cobblers;
Both get left and right;
Both need a mate to be complete;
And both are made to go on feet,
They both need healing; oft are sold,
| And both in time will turn to mould.
With shoes the last is first; with men
The first shall be the last; and when
The shoes wear out, they're mendeC
new;
When men wear out, they're men deaC
too.
They both are trod upon, and both
viii tread on others nothing 10th,
Both have their ties, and both incline
When polished, in the world to shine;
And both peg out, Now would yor
choose
To be a man, or be his shoes.

Can He Hold His job?

At the meeting of the Pueblo city
council Monday night w. G. Mahar
of Bessemer was apo 'ntt d
south side city weigher, vice w. G.
Slawson, resigned, and there is con-
siderable kicking thsreat. 1t is all
right with Mr.. Mahar If he can thus
represent his city but they are after
him and he shall have to look sharp
to hold down his job. Apropos to
the appointment the Press says:
A number Of representative citi-
zens have to-day called the atten-
tiou of the Press to the fact that the
council last night elected a citizen
of the city of Bessemer as an official
of Pueblo. There Is no comlaint
personally against the gentleman
elected as city weigher, but every
one that has spoken of the matter to
the Press thinks that the position
should have been given to a Pueblo
man.
The Press has taken some trouble
to look into the matter and finds
that there Is an ordinance in ex-
istence that says emphatically that
no one shall hold an official position
In the city of Pueblo who Is not Q
resident Of the city. Therefore the
city weighsr elected last night is
and cannot hold good. If
the council wants to elect citizens Of
Besssmsr to fill official positions in
Pueblo 1t will have to repeal the
