Police Regulation Regarding Detec-

An order was issued yesterday by the
Commissioners with respect to the employ
ment of detectives for any other purpose
than the detection and prevention of
crime.
The order amends paragraph 14S Of the

consistent with the interests of the service,
the officers SO detailed"-that is, for the
detection and prevention Of crlme',-
shall "acquaint themselves With the prac-
tices, associations and haunts of the crimi-
nal classes, and they shall at all times exer-
else the utmost vigilance in preventing

What is worth noticing is that there

in the same breath as these immense
accommodations of the past. The
greatest of to-day are Insignificant be-
side the greatest of other days, But a
more important fact is that the foolish

THE GREATEST FORTUNES.

President Seth Lows gift of 81 ,00o,-
OOO to Columbia College with which to
build library building makes him one
of a half score of men in this country
and of perhaps twice that many in all
the world notable for munificent gifts,
while living, for philanthropic pur-
poses. Many more men have left
property by will for the benefit of asso-
Citations of a public character than
have given so that, before their deaths,
they could see the effect of their bene-
factions. In the history of this country
there are only about dozen men who
have given away during a lifetime a
million dollars. The number that have
given 100000 at one time is still less,
not half so many. Some of these great
gifts have been made under restrictions
which came near making them inoper-
alive, the most frequent one being a
requirement that an additional sum of
money should be secured from other
sources.
President Lows gift to Columbia
is remarkable for several reasons. The
money which he will expend in build
ing the Marble Library building, de-
signed by McKim, Mead & White, is in
much larger proportion of his entire
fortune than in the case of gifts of
similar amounts by other Americans.
He was not asked to give, and no pres
sure was brought to bear on him in
any way. The announcement of his
purpose was a surprise to his associates
in the management of the college.
The gift marks with increasing en-
phasis the desirability of applying a
fortune to its future uses while the one
by whose labor it was accumulated or
preserved is alive, so that all litigation,
unpleasantness and the diversion of
the property to other purposes than
those intended by the testator may be
avoided.
Imam estimate of the riches of Ameri-
can made recently it was shown that 25,-
600 persons held one-half of the wealth
of the country. The names of seventy
men and estates were given, the aver
age holding of each being estimated at
$37,500O0O. An attempt was made to
show that in thirty years $4,000 persons
would own practically all of the wealth
of the United States, Comparisons
were made with the fortunes of the
richest Englishmen to prove that there
were greater accommodations of money
here than there, and that the tendency
of all time was to the greater concen-
tration of wealth. The inference was
that this was harmful. Now, the facts
are that the tendency is in the opposite
diaection, and that the men who are
richest now are in every way superior
to the millionaires of the past. The
annual income of several of the men
who lived in that idyllic time "when
the world was young" or at least CEN
turtles before now, was equal to the en-
tire fortunes Of the richest men of to-
day. Solomon, the richest of them all,
was bequeathed the fabulous sum of
$S,0O00000O0, and was made trustee in
addition of a fund of 81, 100000,

Commodore Vanderbilt gave 81, 00O,0 900
to Vanderbilt University. In 1880
William III. Vanderbilt gave 100000
to the same institution. In" 1884 he
gave 100000 to the College of Physi-
clans and Surgeons in the city. lie

Gorringe for the purpose of bringing

TO the employees OF the New York Cen
trail railroad who refused to join in
the great railroad strike. Cornelius
Vanderbilt built Vanderbilt hall at
Yale at cost of over $l,0O0,0OO, and
has been a very liberal patron of many
charities in this city.
Among the most notable acts of phi
lanthropy, where the gifts were less
than 100000 are Miss Gwendoline
Caldwell's subscription of 100000 to
the Catholic University at Washington;
w. w. Corcoran's erection of the Cor.
coran Art Gallery, costing $3.50, 900, in
Washington, and the Louise Home for
Aged and miirm Gentlewomen in the
same city, and Charles II. Yerke's gift
of the largest refracting telescope in
the world, with a fonrty fonr-inch OBJ.
jective glass, which is four inches larg
er than the famous Lick telescope, to
Chicago University. The telescope
and building will cost $500 900.
One object more than another has
actuated all these great persons in civ
ing their money while living 8 that theil
wishes might be carried out. Their
wisdom is demonstrated by the litiga
ton, over the Tilden will, which de
prived New York city Of much of tn,
