Rich American Bondholders.

The millionaire is commonly represent
ed as engaged in clipping coupons from
bonds This Is IA egreRious error. Rich
men, IA a rule, do not hold coupon bonds.
The reason is quite obvious. Such bonds
are not safe property. They are always
payable TO bearer like treasury notes. II
lost, the government win not replace them.
Accordingly, for the sake 81 security,
people are constantly exchanging them for
registered bonds Thus the sum total of
coupon bonds outstanding which is now
about $40, 0O0, 900, is all the time dimin-
ishing They are mostly In the hands Of
small holders. With the registered bonds
IL Is quite different. They are rich mems
property par excellence. At present about
5000, 900, 900 worth Of them .ire held by
private Individuals. or this great sum
tS7 GOO, 900. or not far from one-half, are
owned by 900 persons, roughly speak
ing, whose holdings average $50. 900. The
names Of these fortunate individuals are
kept secret by the treasury. Some Of the
fortunes possessed in this shape are enor-
nous. Some OF the greatest belong to the
Vanderbilts. Old William II. Vanderbilt

out Of work. After n time what little money
he had managed to save was exhausted. and
he decided to fall back on his knowledge OF
fishing TO provide his family with food. For
several weeks Mr.. Will flshed the Hudson from
the Harlem River rs far north as Dobbs Ferry,
and even made one or two trips among the
coves near Peekskill At the end OF his trips
the fisherman generally returned to his family
About seven weeks ago Mr.. viii started out
at 3 o'clock one morning and fshed up and
down the river until Z o'clock in the evening.
His labors resulted In the capture OF a single

Franklin avenue. who. after examining the in
lured finger. applied poutice and told the SUI
ierer to call again the next day, Mr.. viii con-
tinued to grow worse. and finally was obliged
to take to his bed.
1t was decided that an operation on the In

wrapped. Sticking on tho sides OF this ball in
dozen places wero projectios such as are
used in magazine rifles The rife balls we're

which had become as hard as wood.
It was evident that Mr.. Leggett had been
hurt merely by the flash OF the powder intended
to IRE the ball. and that the real Internal ma
chine had not exploded at all.
There IL probably dynamite or som other
explosive In the centre OF the sphere" said In
