1t will be seen from this statement that Mr.
Rockefellers investments are of the most solid.
substantial, and remunerative description This
estimate of his wealth, by the way, is confirm
ed by 10 less all authority than Mr.. Rockefellers
associate millionaire, Henry NJ. Flagler Mr..
Flagler not long ago said that he knew Mr..
Rockefeller's income i'll the neighborhood
OF $4,000, 900 year. Reckoning that his in
vestments yield all average of per cent, and
there is not much doubt that the gilt-edged Sc
curities he holds pan out at that figure, this
gives him capital of $50, 200, 900. The vast
ness Of this income may, perhaps, be better
realized when it is calculated that So, 900 900
year means something like $4,000 a day.
At the same time as making the statement re-
ferred to, Mr. Fager said that his own income

The only man, probably who has ever lived in
America whose possessions were larger than
John d. Rockefeler's possessions at present
reason to doubt that at the time of William H.
Vanderbit's death he was worth over $2oo,-
ooo, 900. Indeed close friend of Wander

safe-deposit vault and showed securities that
aggregated i'll value even more than this. w.
H. Vanderbilt's wealth, however, was divided
up at his death, and no one Of the Vanderbilts
now-not even Cornelius Vanderbilt--has any
thing like this amount of money. After Rock
efeler, the wealthest man i'll America to-day,
is William Wardof Astor, who is worth prob
ably 500 900 600 Jay Gould was worth, ac-
cordng to the most careful estimates by we'll
informed Wall street men, about $50, DOC, 900 or
500, 900, 900. In comparing the Rockefeller
fortune with the Rothschld fortune, it must be
remembered that although the entire wealth OF
the various branches of the Rothschild family
adds up perhaps billion of dollars, no more
than S7s 900 600 is in the hands of any one
member of the family.
Mrs. S. +. V. EMERY, the author of "Seven
Financial Conspraces' and other works of
interest to those who desire a better order of
things, is dead. Mrs. Emery was a noble wo-
man---a power i'll :he cause of reform, and her
death will be deeply felt. Truly, her works
will live after her.
