TROUBLES OF THE RICH.

The lot of a millionaire is certainly rot al
together a happy one if he-or she-chance
to be sensitive to public criticism. For
whatever he does. or leaves undone he is
sure TO meet with condemnation from some
quarter. AS a general thing the cry against
him is that he is not liberal enough with
his wealth. does not spend enough. No
matter how extensively his capital may be
engaged in manufacturing or other bust
ness that gives employment TO many peo-
pie. it is not felt that he is living up TO his
duty or privileges unless he makes some
show OF his wealth in a personal way. He
receives some compliments il he gives large
sum for benevolent purposes. but Mr.. An
drew Carnegie. although he has given vast
amounts for public benefit, is classed by
~dcmagogues ard agitators none the less as
a ''plutocrat' and oppressor of the poor.
Mrs. Hetty Green is berated for spending
nothing. but now. on the other hand. Mrs.
Bradley-Martin Is made a target for criti-
cism because she is preparing to spend a
large amount, Because she is TO give a ball

Mythical EOrfEEes.

Every now and then paragraphs appear
in the papers telling how some hitherto OBJ
scure and usually poverty-stricken person
has unexpectedly fallen heir to a fortune
left him by some re,ative in foreign lands.
The estate in question is invariably large,
SO that even if the newly-discovered heir is
entitled to but a part, that share is enough
to make him a Croesus among his humble
neighbors. But, somehow, the account
never gets so far as TO describe an actual
taking possession Of the fortune; it is re-
lated that this proceeding is delayed only
Ggtil certain formalities have been compiled
with. or until he crosses the Atlantic. or
until the next steamship arrives and brings
him the titles to the property. but. for some
reason, he sinks Immediately into his
former obscurity. and. if he really gets the
money the pablic never hears of it. 1t is
probable that such tales are sometimes
put into circulation by crafty persons en-
6eGsd in prosecuting so-called claims
against ether mythical estates of fabulous
value IN order that the hopes of the vic
Tins may be stimulated: but when they
have a Foundation in truth the chances are
Jnat the property inherited amounts to
little compared with the imposing figures
published. AS showing how such things
are exaggerated. a case just reported from
Il Pennsylvania town is in point. In this
instance the estate is on this side of the
Atlantic and the 1c,aaiMapts on the. other.
and is that of a deceased Hungarian. who
migrated TO this country some years ago.
he was industrious and frugal. and, before
he died. was classed by his si~mple-minded
~neighbors as wealthy. The report grew as
Il Travelled. and his heirs in the old coun-
try heard that he left large MANUFACTURES
and property valued at sf.Gc0. 600. Eminent
lawyers" were engaged to look after the
matter. and they. by correspondence with
the consul at Philadelphia, have learned
that the reputed millionaire left an estate
valued at exactly $L115. of which $eO7 is
uncollectible. The castles built by the eX-
pectant Hungarian relatives viii fall with
a crash when they get this news, and their
last estate will indeed be worse than their
hardly suffice TO pay the eminent lawyers
for their trouble in finding how little money
there is. Possibly, however, their hopes
will be sustained by the belief. cunningly
instilled by promoters" that they are
being deceived and the estate really exists
and belongs to them. in this case they
should have the sympathy and encourage
ment of Anneke Jams heirs. who have al
lowed themselves to be deceived for so
long that they rather like the experience
and are willing To pay literally for it, even
though there is not $S0S IN sight at the end
of the rainbow.

2O5.l3. Even after it had surrendered the
roads TO private companies the State kept
up a quasi connection with and control of
them and incurred much additional loss
and expense before it got out. Its expert
ence in building railroads and in the grant
ing of special charters was such as to
make it imperative that it wash its hands
of the whole business.
The present alleged claim against the
Vandalia shows that as long ago as 1si7
the Legislature had a vague and nebulous
idea that n RAILROAD corporation ought to
return the State some equivalent for its
franchise. Undoubtedly that was the object
and intent of Section % of the original Van
dalia charter, which reads as follows:
That when the aggregate amount of div
blends declared shall amount to the full
sum invested and 10 per centum thereon.
ene Legislature may SO regulate the tolls
anu Irelgnts that not more than II per
centum per annum shall be divided on the
capltaI employed. and the surplus profits. if
any, after paying the expenses and reserV-
ing such proportions as NAV be necessary
Tor future contingencies. shall be paid over
10 the treasurer of state for the use of COM
mon schools, but the corporation shall not
ne compelled by law TO reduce the tolls and
frelghts so that a dividend of is per centum
per ahnum cannot be made, and it shall be
the duty OF the corporation to furnish the
legislature, II required with a correct
statement OF the amount of expenditure
ana the amount of profits after deducting
All expenses. which statement shall be
made under the oath of the officer whose
uuly IL snail be to make the same.
Under this provision the road was not
required to pay the State anything until
Its aggregate dividends should equal the
original investment and 10 per cent. inter
est thereon. but after that the excess of
net pTohts above a certain figure should
be paid to the State. The State never re-
celVed a dollar under this provision. and
prooaoiy 1t never will, but there was evil
uehtiy honest effort on the part of the Leg
lsiature to get something for the charter.
II the present Constitution had permitted
special charters or had authorized the Leg
iSiature 20 afiX conditions to railroad char
ters' and If the policy had been carried { #
