Nothing in England to Compare With These
Vast AggregatiOns Of Wealth.

BY a calculation made n few years
ago by the American statistician, says
Chambers journal. it seems that sew
enty citizens Of the United States pos
sesscd among them Il n aggregate
wealth Of s., 100. 900, 600. That gives
an average OF about S37, 500, 900 apiece.
TO come to particulars: there was an
estate-we refrain from mentioning
names-returned as worth no less than
sl5O,OO,OO 0 There were five individ-
ualS valued at 800. 600, 600; one valued
at $4,000, 900 two valued at $50, OOO,-
600; six valued at $50, 900, 900: six
valued at $40, 600, 900; four valued at
$4,000, 600; ten valued ut s35, 900, 900:
thirteen valued at $4,000, 900; ten
valued at 81, 600, 900: four valued at
$1,000, 600; and fifteen at $50, 900, 600.
Tie brain reels before such figures
They express measures Of wealth which
the ordinary mortal is powerless to
Besides these seventy colossal
figures there are fifty other persons IN
the northern States alone valued at
over $4,000 900 each, thirty of them
being valued in all ut $3.50, 900, 900.
There were, some little time ago, pub.
lislled lists of SiXty-thrcc milliOnaires
In Pennsylvania possessing in the ag-
gregate $500, 600, 900, and OF sixty per.
sons in three villages neal New York
wealth aggregated $500, 900, 900.
We have nothing to compare with
such individual cases of wealth in
Great Britain. Baron R%othschild and
Lord OverstOne each left about ST.
100000; the late Lord Dudley left
$40, 100000: the late Duke of Buc-
estimated to be the richest
Scotchman, left estates valued at $780,
One living English Duke is
at $4,000, 900 and another at

added to these to place against the
lbOve list Of American fortunes. In
1874 there were only l04 persons in the
Kingdom whose incomes from
business profits were returned as over
a year. In 1886 there were
'nly seventeen estates which paid
probate duty on about S 1880, 600.

the fact that the Advertisers editor
habitually drags in the editorial I'VE"

the other fact that the same indivi-

Of the band of scared conspirstors.' "
Now the Advertiser surely has no
need to be informed that the peo-

quest OF a lady Of high Hawaiian
royal lineage. 1t knows very wei

sensational about the transfer OF the

each week for months had
Count Luigi Spaghetti called
upon her, and her mind was
set upon a proposal from him;
seven nights in the week for
months Fedora had appeared
before the Count in her most
fetching gowns, and each time
he was more ELUSIVE in his
protestations of love. Visions
of castles, gondoliers, and of
Venice, dear watery Venice
filled her soul. Fedora, the
beautiful, was to be a countess.
She would make her father an
earl and her mother an earless
when Luigi took her to his
home in Italy.
The guys who passed her on
the avenue with sky pointed
noses because her father, as a
member of the force, had
grown rich before the Lexow
Committee had begun its work
would now fall at her feet and
she could be "swagger.' But
Fedora McNamee was mad.
After the Count had left her
on his two hundred and thir-
tenth consecutive visit Ber-
nard McNamee called his
daughter to his side and laying
down McKaneS' Purity in

Minneapolis, Mimi, April q. - Dan
Creedon knocked Dick Moore out tonight
in the ninth round in fight for the
middle weight championship of America
Both men had done some hard training
and each appeared during the day to be in
the pink of condition. Creedon, however,
was thefavOrite, and what money changed
hands was at to in his favor
Creedon weighed in after supper at 100,
while his opponent tOppled the beam
three pounds lighter. The men met in a
twenty foot ring and three and half
ounce gloves were used.
Thomas Tracey, of Australia, Shadow"
Maber and Prof. Frank Lewis, of the Co

and D. H. Benton (Rob Roy, of Boston,

similar service for the Boston boy, and
Col. L. r. ID. Hopkins, of New York,
Creedon's backer, with party of friends,
watched the proceedings from a box.
Sandy Griswold, sporting editor of the
Omaha Bee, was the referee. They
fought in hurricane style from start to
finish. Moore was no match for Creedon,
but he surprised even his friends by his
staying powers.

PEACE REICNS IN ALABAMA
The Governor in Conference With a
Committee Of Miners.

The Committee Promises That the
Miners viii Stop Their warlike
Drills-The Reports of Large Pur-
chases of Arms by the Miners Pro-
nounced Unfounded 1.-The Governor
Warns the Miners That He Can Mus
ter 3 900 Soldiers if Necessary.
Birmingham, April 27- Gov. Jones,
who is still in Birmingham, this afternoon
had long conference with committee
from the miners of this district consist
ing of j. ID. Thompson, of the Pratt
mines; John Lamont, of Cardiff; T. d.
Roberts, of Blocton, aud Frank Founier,
of Wylam, but declined to give
any of the particulars of what
transpired, but took occasion, how
ever, TO say that many of the
dispatches being sent from this district
were viciously sensational and give rise
to the most unfounded and unjust opinions
of the attitude Of the bulk of the miners;
that while the situation was somewhat
strained, he felt confident the majority Of
the strikers are not in sympathy with
any purpose to win the strike except by
lawful means.
THE DRILLING OF THE MINERS.
Ills attention tart been called TO tiife
ported arming and drilling of the miners,
which he had called to the attention of
the committee, advising them that IL was
contrary to the law, and they assured
him they would discontinue il, stating
tlat the number of men who had partici-
pated in it was insignificant, and that
their purpose had been misapprehended.
The governor further said that he had
investigated the reported large purchases
Of arms by the miners, and had ascer-
tanned that there was no foundation for
the rumor, and that their purchases had
not been more than usual.
At q former meeting with tho commit
tee the governor explained to them that
as governor, while he regretted any diff
ference Of opinion as TO wages which re-
suited in so many men being unemployed,
he had nothing whatever TO do with the
strike as such, that his business was to
preserve the peace, and that would be
done at all hazards.
COULD MUSTER 5000 SOLDIERS.
Tho governor said that no
troops had been put under
arms, be,auso in his opinion, it
has been unnecessary TO do so; that he
still maintained the same implicit conf
dence ia the miners obedience TO the law
and controlling their hotheads as he did at
the mass meeting on Monday last, which
passed OF so peaceably and in
manner which reflected great
credit on them; that in the event 1t
became necessary, 5000 troops could
be concentrated here in less than twenty
four hours. but he trusted no such neces-
sity would arise. From what could be
learned, it is generally understood the
governor was very emphatic in impress
ing the committee with the idea that no
lawlessness would be tolerated. and that
they had as well run against q buzz saw
as to come in conflict with the state au-
thoritips
