A Fabulous Fortune.

The wealth of John D. Rockefeller
has now reached the sum of $244,0 ,000, 900
and furthermore is increasing at the
rate of $1,500,000a month. or $4,000 a
day, or $2,083 an hour, or $8450 a min
ute, or 81 cents every second of time,
day and night, Sunday and holidays.
John D. Rockefeller sleeps eight and
one-half hours every night, retiring at
.1O:30 and rising at seven. Every morn
ing when he gets up he is ZOO richer
than he was when he went to bed. He
sits down to breakfast at sight o'clock
and leaves the table at $50, and in that
short half hour his wealth has grown
81, 1,041.50 On Sunday he goes to church
and in the two hours that he is away
from home his riches have grown $4106.
His nightly amusement is playing the
violin. Every evening when he picks
up the instrument he is $4,000 richer
than he was when he laid it down the
previous night. These little facts give
some idea Of the constant growth of
this mans fortune-Ex.

The Largest Of Brick Buildings.


"Very few know it, but it is a fact"
explained a prominent builder, "tb t
the pension Office building is the largest
brick building in the world. It has
been subjected to much criticism, but
it can stand it, for as time passes along
there are. many things seen about it
that escaped notice when it was newer.
In all, there are over 100000 bricks
in the building. General Meigs took
liberties with bricks that no other arch
tect had ever attempted He not only
used bricks exclusively for the build
ing" but he used them in constructing
the stairs throughout the building. In
the matter of stair building, bricks
have often been used for The riser, but
the step has always been Of iron, wood,
slate or stone. In the pension office
both riser and step are OF brick. AS a
brick building, therefore, pure and
simple, it is unique in construction,
outside of the fact that it is this largest
exclusively brick building in the world

The Indians Of this valley have many
superstitions, some of them ancient
and some recent, says the Phoenix Re-
publican. They have one now regard
ing the Gila monster. Last Saturday
stranger wanted to buy collection
of Gila monsters John K. Ovens told
an Indian named Ve-ja to bring in as
many as he could find and he would get
from 80 cents to 81 apiece. Ve-ja re-
turned yesterday, saying that he had
decided after consultation with his
tribe net to go into the Gila monster
trade. The elders Of the tribe told him
that to kill Gila monster at this time
Of the year would prod ice a hot, dry,
devastating summer. The slaughter OF
a Gila monster IN the fall meant long
winter, marked by numerous biting
frosts. Veja after considerable persua-
sion changed bis mind and said he
would return to-day with a cargo OF
monsters, but would have to dc it on
the quiet. sEo didn't mind interfering
with the weather, but didn't want to be
held responsible for It py his. tribe.

The sending of American war ships
to the north coast Of Africa to protect
Americans in their rights recalls a lit
tie chapter IN our history which, though
interesting and creditable, has never
been made much of and is now, it would
seem, seld ON read.-Republican.
It would have been much more. cred
liable and, perhaps, a great deai more
interesting, had the government sent
few men of war to Cuba to protect
American itfzens in their rights. Per-
haps there are half dozen Americans
on ths north coast of Africa, one of
whom may have been interfered with,
and man of war is instantly dispatch
ed to secure his protection IN person
and property. It is a we'll established
fact that hundreds of Americans have
been imprisoned in Cuba without any
warrant OF law, many nave been wan
tonly murdered and their property de-
stroyed, and nc notice has been taken
of it other than mild protest. With
these facts staring every American in
the face, sending p war vessel to Africa
has the appearance OF trying 20 manu-
fecture cheap political capital.

ALONG TALE OF rRousLE.
Could Be Told d Robert Flsher-Has Been
Placed Under Heavy Bonds.

The case of Robert Fisher OF this
city demanded considerable attention
on the part of Recorder A. M. Goddard,
Friday. AS Is generally pretty well
known by the people Of the city, Robert
Is man who sometimes drinks, and
drinks hard, the same being the cause
OF his often making serious trouble for
those about him.
His last act Of disturbance was on
Thursday night about II o'clock. He
brandished long knife about the
rooms Of his house in Stapleton with
the result that the other members of
the family fed. Mrs. Fishers cries
were heard by Patrolman Shea who
was on Sewall street. He arrested
Fisher, and at the trial. Friday, the
latter was placed under $500 bonds to
keep the peace. Then. he pleaded
guilty to being intoxicated. He was
sentenced to 80 days for that. He took
an appeal and was placed under 5000
bonds for his appearance at the Sep.
TENDER court. On the charge Of as
sault on his wife, he waived and ap-
pealed, and, for that, was placed under
$500 bonds for the, September term.
With total of $1,000 bonds to raise,
Fisher is in a fair way to stay where
he is for some time.
His history for the past Is years or
more is one that would fill many pages
of arrests and probations; and arrests
again-not to mention the many times
that officers have been summoned 10
At last the people have become tired
Of it-that is, the people who live IN
his neighborhood. Then, too, the police
have been tired Of it. Faithful through
it all has been his wife. She. morning
after morning. when, on the nights
previous, Fisher has abused her in a
truly terrible fashion, she has come to
plead in his behalf, promising for him
better conduct in the future. She has
entered the court room thus to plead
with both her eyes black with the
blows and her body blue from bruises.
Such has been the patience of that
woman.
On one occasion, the head of the fam
ily had been on one of his debauches.
While in Jail. neighbors (theys at that
time lived on Cushnoc HeightsG became
impressed with the distressing condi-
ton of the children. A number of them
got together and contributed many
things to the comfort and support of the
Fisher family-clothing of all kinds for
the wife and children, furniture, and
coal and wood to burn, for it was then
winter. Fl
AS soon as Fisher got out of jail.
what did he do, but take all that ne
could get hold of, of this that had been
given them, sell it and with the pro-
ceeds, get beastly drunk. Such was one
of the many chapters in the history OF
this man, so unfortunately the victim
of drink-for when sober he is what
they CALL "clever."
