PRIVATE TELEPHONES.
New York NIillionaires' Call Numbers Are

Not Public Property.
There are some very aristocratic tele-
phone owners in the city, but study Of
the telephone directory supplied for the
use of the general public does not reveal
this fact. This is done purposely. 1t is
no use getting, mad if, when you ask
for Mr.. Cr9sus Vanderbilt's telephone
number the girl at the other end asks if
you don't know it. When you say that
you don't know it or try to fool her and
say you did have it, but lost the memo

cannot give you Mr.. Cresus Wander.
bilt's house unless you know the num-
ber."
The fact of it is the girl would be
breaking strict rules of the company il
she gave this information. There are a
good many millionaires and prominent
society families who have telephones in
their residences, but they are for private
use. Only the friends Of the head Of the
house and few other persons know the
number. The mistress Of the mansion
leaves the number with her friends, and
in exchange receives their numbers. She
also leaves her number with the head of
the hospital where she happens to be on
the managing committee.
This exclusive system is adopted in
order that outsiders cannot annoy Mr..
Millionaire by ringing him up on the
telephone. The men who have tele-
phones put into their palaces do so with
the proviso that their names and tele-
phone numbers shall not appear in the
directory. New York World.

WEALTH LEFT IN TRUST,
How Far Has the State the Right to In
terfero with willis?

terfere with Wills?
How far the state has right to inter-
fere with the last will and testament Of
an individual Is open to good deal Of
doubt; but the discussion of It is apt to
become more and more animated as
time goes on. The general legal theory
Is that mans possessions at the time
OF his death revert to the common
wealth, and he has within certain limi-
tation the right to indicate in what d.
rections his property shall be divided.
On the strength of this, says Current
Literature, the creation of trusts to
carry on great fortunes is likely to be
first attacked. A great many of the
very wealthy nowadays are apt to leave
their fortunes in trust, the larger share
being left to one child in preference to
the rest. Such trust is in process of
formation in the case of the James G..
Fair estate in California, as it has been
formed in the cases of such men as Jay
Gould, William H. Vanderbilt and
others in recent years. The tendencies
OF these trusts are to keep large fortunes
intact; but the social changes of the
day see in such accumulations dangers

nize and, if possible, to remedy.
The danger in such vast accumula-
tions lies in the fact that these re-
sources, which would otherwise be
divided up and be of general benefit to
the community, are thus kept intact.
and in danger of an increase by idle
ness, and by compounding which is
reaching annually more alarming
sum. The assessors have recently told
us that the Gould estate has been val
ued at no less than eighty million dol
lars. The Rothschild family in Europe
are computed to be worth, taken to-
gether, no less than two thousand mil
lion dollars, the French branch of the
noted family being alone estimated
to be worth two hundred mil
lion dollars. At the beginning of the
century the grandfather of the present
Rothschilds was poor man. Fifty

day there are over four thousand of

COURTESY TOWARD WOMEN,
London Far Beyond New York In Recog-
milton of Her Efforts.

London Far Beyond New York In Recog-
milton of Her Efforts.
The international convention, recent
ly held in London, of women interest
ed in the temperance work, was a nota-
BILE demonstration of the deepening in
terest which women are taking in all
reformatory movements. Probably,
says Leslie's Weekly, there has never
been assembled in Great Britain gath
ering SO truly representative of the
Christian and philanthropic sentiment
of the enlightened women of the world
as this, in which one hundred and fifty
American delegates actively partici-
pated. One of the striking incidents of
the convention was that, on the open
ing Sunday, two hundred London pull
pits were occupied by women. But,
notable as the gathering was, the Lon
don press seems to have given it little
consideration, and the notice bestowed
upon it was in some cases a great deal
more insulting than commendatory in
character. One conservative journal
characterized the convention as COM
posed of blatant female agitators to
whom taste and propriety are empty
terms" When the Christian Endeavor-
ers swarmed down upon this metropolis
by the ten Thousand, some two or three
years ago, the daily newspapers were
as much surprised and puzzled by the
demonstration as the London journals
seem to have been by the women's
white ribbon gathering, but New York
journalism, instead of criticising and
belittling, welcomed, and devoted itself
to setting forth copiously the achieve
ments of the visiting organizations,
thereby not only maintaining it's self
respect, but Gaming the hearty graft

English newspapers would do well to
emulate this example Of courtesy and
true journalistic catholicity.
