Alabama Coal for Mexico

The sale of 100000 tons of Alabama coal
for use on the railroads in Mexico has
brought out the fact that hitherto the
Mexican railroads have been getting
their coal from England. This seems al
most Incredible. and now that the coal
deposits of Alabama have been opened
and there is comparatively so short a
distance to the market, it will be re-

The question. Who is the richest man
in the world? is often asked. but can not
be answered with accuracy, for the rea-
son that frequently enormous interests
are controlled by one man and handled
as his private property which are, in
fact. really owned BY greater number
of men, the manager in this case con-
trolling a majority Of the stock. Many
accounts are printed in the papers of
the wealth of individuals and families.
but these statements are. in great
measure, approximate, and often con-
jectural. 1t is said Lii Hung Chang, of
China, is worth from $l5O, O,OO0, 900 to
500, 600 600; that the Rockefellers own
or control property, estimated at from

0O0. 600 that the Astor family is worth

property left by Mr.. Gould at his death
was estimated to he worth from $50
100000 to $4,000, 900; the Vanderbilt
family owns upward of s2OO,OO0.0OO
worth of property, and the famous Mrs.

600 or sec, ,0O0, 900. There is little doubt
