RICH RoNDHoLDERs.

Names of These FRvOrItes of Fortune
Kept Secret by the Treasury.
The millionaire is commonly repre-
sented as engaged in clipping coupons
from bonds. This is nu cGgrcgious
error. Rich m-n, as a rIle, do not
hold coupon bonds. The reason is
quite obvious. SEci1 bol!s are not
safe property. They are always pay
able to bearer, like treasury notes. If
lost the governm cnt will not replace
them. Accord ngly, for the sake Of
security, people are constantly ex-
changing them for registered bonds
Thus the sum total of coupon bcnis

holders. With the registered bonds il
is quite different. They are rich mems

about $500, ,OO), 900 worth of them are
held by private Individuals. OF this
great sum ss7, 900, 900. or not far from
one-half, are owned by 1000 persons,
roughly speaking, 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 enormous.
Some of the greatest belong to the
Vanderblts. Old William H. Wander

Why La Ii?

'Tt is somewhat curious thing"
observed commercial traveller, ''that
even the most fastidious individual
who will reject with indignation a
tumbler that had been used by another
diner at hotel, will not hesitate to
drink out of a cup or glass on a rail
way train, although it may have been
used by thousands of persons, many
of them of not over cleanly habits.
The same thing applies to the per-
sons who use the ice-water coolers in
public buildings or hotels. Why then
should so much fastidiousncss be dis
played by persons at hotel or other
table as to the use of tumbler from
which single person had previously
drank?"

In Berlin. according ia the New

out the emiesiOn Of smoke and his
method has, on repeated tp6te. proved
SO satisfactory 4hat two % tte most

In this system. coal reduced to

is introduced into q pear-shaped COM
bustion chamber lined With fire. brick,
and fitted with an induction appara-
tus like those used in petroleum
fred furnaces, the coal dust being
drawn along by . jet of steam or
compressed air.
The combustion chamber, which
takes the place Of . furnace, is pro-
vided with two apertures, one in the
center line of the boiler. occupying
the position OF the usual frehole
door, while the other, on the oppo-
site side OF the combustion cham ber,
serves for introducing the coal dust
through pipe. so placed that the
dust is evenly dispersed over the
whole surface of the chamber.
After the fist ignition, which may
be effected by any source of heat.
the com bustion continues regularly
and intensely under the action of the
air current, which is regulated in
accordance with the quantity of dust
required to produce the necessary
heat The air or steam and dust
are intimately mingled in the zone
Of combustion, while the sprea1 of
the current, which has served as q
vehicle for the dust is much reduced.
Each particle OF fuel held in sus-
pension is, by this method, brought
into such close contact with the oxy-

TR INING A DOG TEAM.
How Canadians and E,qu'm ux Manage
Their Canine COurSerS

How Canadians and E,quimaux Manage
Their Canine COursers.
Mr.. Cameron in his talk with a re-
porter told OF the dogs that are used
for sledging during the winter in the
Northwest territories of Canada.
Six or eight dogs are used on each
sledge. They are fed only once in
twenty-four hours, and that is in the
morning before the start is made, and
after the dogs are IN harness. At
that time about four pounds of frozen
fish are given to them. Everything
must be in readiness for the start,
and the men must look to it that they
are at hand to jump on the sledges,
for at the very instant that the last
morsel of fish disappears the dogs are
off at a break-neck speed. Strange as
it may seem, the drivers do not dare to
feed the dogs unless they are in har-
ness. Otherwise they would scatter,
and nothing more would be seen OF
them. They are driven with one long
rein attached to the leader.
A whip with very short handle and
a very long lash is used to urge them
on, though in most cases they need no
urging, for they seem to feel that the
faster they go the quicker they will
come to the post where food and
warmth and a lazy life await them.
They travel often as far as ninety
miles day.

four years were passed in the lowest
OF the pay corps grades and the re-

RICH FAMILIES in AMERICA.

AstOrs and the vandorbllts Control Be-
tween Thsm Hundreds of hi lions.
A careful estimate of the wealth OF
the Astors puts it at 5000. .OoOO, 900, and
this makes the family the richest in
the United States. What is more, the
wealth of the Astors is in such shape
that it cannot but increase, for the
reason that it is gilt-edged New York
City real estate, some of which has
within the past ten years Increased in
value 700 per cent and is still appreci-
ating. The policy Of the Astors has
always bcen to buy real estate on the
lines along which New York City is
now extending and hold it for a rise,
rarely selling, however, but building
and renting instead The result is
that the Astor propcrt 'es are in valua-
bic lands, in brick, iron, stone All
mortar instead of in f1uctuating stocks
and bonds, the fixed value of which is
always uncertain. AS family the
Vanderbilts stand next to the Astors
in the matter of wealth, and their
riches must be considered in the
aggregate and in common, since their
individual fortunes are pooled. SO to
speak. You will often see Cornelius
Vanderbilt, the present head of the
house, quoted as being worth $780,
900, 900. OF course he is not worth
any such am cunt. Cornelius has most
of the Vanderbilt millions, but those
who know say that he is personally
not worth above $50, ,O0O, 900, if as
much

HEART DISEASE.

Let those who are hunted VII a
suspicious of heart disease, an1 even
those who have gOol reason to 'Cnoy
that they are su fering from that in
,urable malady, take co lray4 from
short story told by the late Sir An lrew
Clark in the course of clinical lecture
1T the London hospital.
After reminding the young students
of the necessity for caution in the
"prognosis," or forecast of the pro-
gress of this disease, Sir Andrew went
On to relate an anecdote of the house
governor of that very hosp;tal-a cler-
gyman who was about to be married.
His intended father-:n law came to
him and said, You see you have got
no money, sir; you must go and get
your life insured" At the end of the
medical exam nation the physicians
said to him: I'VE cannot accept you"
''Why?" asked the astonished house
governor. ''Oh. we would rather not
say" But" he SAID, Il have never
been i'll in my lite," AMI indecl he
was a sturdy fellow. WELL" said the
physicians, ''if you will have it you
have got heart disease" Heart dis
ease? How long shall live? Shall I
live for six monshs?" oh, yes" re-
piled the medical men, you may do
that"
he weat home and the match was
broken off. He wrote to the commit
tee saying that as he had mortal dis.
ease of the heart, and coul1 not live
for six months. he withdrew his appli-
cation for rooms wherein to dwell
with his wife. On the receipt OF this
letter the committee deliberated, and
said: I'VE must superannuate him,
poor fellow; and, as he has but sig
months to live, we will let him have
his full pay" Accordingly he was SUI
perannuated upon his full pay, and
upon this sup >rannuity, said Sir An

National AirA.

The national airs of great countries
are short, while those of little coUn-
tries are long. God Save the Queen
is fourteen bars, the Russian hymn is
sixteen bars, and "Hail Colum bia" has
twenty-eight bars. Slams national
hymn has seventy-six bars, and that of
Uruguay seventy; Chili's forty-six, and
SO on. San Marino has the longest
national hymn, except China, which is
SO long that people take half a day off
to listen to it.

Some people have a poor apprecia-

smokers. The sight of it revived in

Texas, Claim of ExterritoriaIity.

The case of Mr.. Standard Oil Flagler
and the courts of Texas seems to raise
a totally new and very puzzling problem
in American jurisprudence. 1t seems to
be considered a liked principle by most
LAWYERS outside the State of Texas that a
State a have jurisdiction only over acts
committed within it's boundaries. 1t is
also conceded that one State cannot go
into the courts of another State and
prosecute violations of its own laws, COM
mitted therein. Tina is to say, Texas
cannot prosecute in the New York courts
for acts in New York in viola
ten of the laws of Texas, but not con-
stituting violations of the laws of New
York. 1t therefore appears that if you
want to commit a crime against the laws
OF one State you need only go into an
other where the act is not a crime.
AS a matter of fact, w have daily
practical examples of the principle In
New Jersey. 1t is bigamy for certain di-
vorced persons to remarry in New York.
They come over here and have the knot
tied, and then go back in safety. New
York cannot prosecute them at home for
the marriage solemnized here, nor can
she prosecute them here for violating her
laws. their acts being legal under the
laws of New Jersey. Practically the same
principle applies to the marriages with
out licenses so commonly celebrated in
Camden
Texas, however, is attempting to estab-
fish a system of exterritoriality such as
some European nations claim as respects
their own subjects; but in the Flagier
case she goes even farther than they do
since she directs her process, not against
her own citizens, bet citizens of New
York, who nave never been within her
boundaries. It is certain that if Texas
we're a foreign country our Government

HOBoKEN's PRIZE BRUTE
Big BurIy John EIebrelh Nearly
Kills His Fraii Wife.

John Elebreth, 80 years old, of No.
II Willow avenue, Hoboken, is a chronic
wife beater. Monday night he came
home drunk and in a mad rage nearly
killed his wife. Besides beating her,
he broke nearly all the furniture and
china in the house. Mrs. Elebreth ran
to Police Headquarters with a three
months old baby in her arms and cried
to captain Hayes to send a policeman
to the house and arrest the brute.
Patrolmen Detters and Hayes went
home with the woman and brought
back her husband, who was locked up.
Yesterday morning Recorder McDon-
ough held Elebreth for trial in default of
bail.
Elebreth is a big burly brute, who
weighs in actual weight over twice as
much as his wife.
When she entered the station house
Monday night she was cut and bruised
all over her head and shoulders.

REARDoN AND FoLEYs GOOD WORK
An Early Morning Blaze Keeps
Police and FGremen Eusy.

A mysterious fire occurred at an early
hour this morning in the Seventh pre-
cinct. 1t broke out shortly after two
O'Clock in the stable in the rear of Mrs.
McCartin house at No. 80 Montgomery
street and spread to Mr.. Jarvis barn AT
the rear of No. 60 Glenwood avenue.
Mrs. McCartin's barn was burnt to the
| ground and there was little worth men
tioning left of Mr.. Jarvis.
Patrolman Foley was patroling Mont
gomery street when he saw flames
bursting from Mrs. McCartin's barn. He
hurriedly sent in an alarm and returning
burst open the stable door in the hope
of saving any horses that might be con-
fined there. He found the place empty.
Sergeant Reardon arrived a few minutes
after the alarm sounded. The flames
spread quickly and it soon became APP
| parent that with the high wind thai was
blowing it would be impossible to save the
McCartin property and that Mr.. jarvis
stable was likely to go as well. Reardon
decided quickly as to what he would do.
Hurrying around to the front OF MT.
TarViS' barn he and Foley burst the
doer open and led the horses to a safe
place on Montgomery street where
thew tied them to trees. Returning they
jagged out the carriages anu tneH car
ried out the harness and everything of
any value that they could find. Before
they had half finished their work the cor
ner of the building had caught FIRE.
They worked rapidly and SO did the
vino and flames. Before the engines
| arrived all the contents of the building
were snfe but the structure itself was
destroyed.
The firemen did good work and quick
ly got control of the fire. 1t was not
| for several hours, however, that they
| ~extinguished the last spark and were
| able TO leave. Mrs. McCartin said
that there was nothing in her
| stable, she not having kept a
| horse for several months. None of
| her family visited it last night,
and she is at a loss to account for the
| fire. The police say hat the McCartin
| barn was a favorite hanging out place
| for tramps in the summer timeand that
| they have driven numbers of them from
! it. Mrs. Jarvis says the police deserve
great credit for the manner in which
| they saved his property.

A NEWARK LANDMARK.
Consolidated Fraction Company,s
New Okestack.
spectal to the Jersep GA Neua.

SDectG TO the JefScI Cttu NEtrS.
NEWARK, Dec. 26, 1S94.-The big stack
just completed at the power-house of the
Consolidated Traction Company presents
a peculiar appearance at the south side
of the bell-shaped top, and those who
study it from a distance think that it has
been struck by lightning or met with an
accident of some kind. One of the big
strips of galvanized metal which forms
the fiaring side of the bell appears to be
torn loose and Tapping in the wind,
While another wide strip directly over it
on the curving crown of the bell is bent
outward and upward. Investigation with
a good glass reveals the fact that the
two loose pieces are doors hinged to the
rest of the work, and are opened to per-
nit the men to go to the top of the stack
upon the iron ladder, which IS affixed to
the side of the chimney and disappears
into the ~bell-shaped top The big stack is
a conspicuous landmark in Newark.
