USUALLY THE CASE.
Another Instance of a Mans Wealth
Being Overestimated.

New York, May 12.-At the time of
his death, Theodore A. Havemeyer
was generally reputed to be one of the
few very rich men in the community
whose investments and personally
could be realized upon without a sac
rifice. 1t is now said upon the best
authority that the entire value of the
estate, including sugar and other Sc
curities and real estate in New York.
Newport and New Jersey, will not
reach s4,O0O000 The main reason
for such a difference between fact and
fancy lies in the fact that, while Mr..
Havemeyer was unquestionably turn
ing over vast sums of money, he was
the last man in the world to hoard any
of it. He lived like a king. Rather
more surprising than the amount Of
the estate is the fact that Mr.. Have

ARMY WORMS AGAIN.

Peshtigo, Wis. May pa large
number of worms have made an early
appearance in the western part of
Marinette county. They are supposed
to be the dreaded army worm which
ravaged many of the fields in that
vicinity last August and totally de-
stroyed much standing grain. The
worms are just beginning to crawl and
are seen in vast numbers crossing the
highways apparently in search of veg
citation upon which to feed, Farmers
are apprehensive of danger to their
growing crops.

have heen since current. The case
came on for trial few days ago and

A PitssbrrE Effective With the TouEhest
Skull In the Country.

A rit.sbure Tstrct We With the Toughest
Skull In the Country.
"It's the hardest nut in the country"
said Detective Dick Brophy proudly as he
laid his hand on Detective Paddy Fitz-
serald's head.
It's n fact, too-at least no one has como
forward with his own head TO disprove the
claim. When Fitzgerald was n common
policeman, none Of the Iawrcnceyillo
toughs ever thought of hitting him on the
head when resisting arrest. They always
sought n vital SPOT. There is only one
hcnd splitting weapon that lie ever lodged.
and that was some years ago., when a no.
torious bad man who hung out at Four.
teenth street and Penn avenue aimed u
blow at him with n baseball bat. Fitz-
gerald ducked On that occasion and butted
his opponent into insensibility.
The other night IL policeman walked into
headquarters and produced a new hand
billy. the finest, he said ever made. Fi:z-
gerald reached for it, raped it on the top
of his head five times, burst the leather
knob and sent the shot with which it was
loaded flying all over the room. Three
other policemen, who declared that it was
a put up Job and that the weapon had
been doctured, had to buy new hand bill
lies, for Fitzgerald took every enc as fast
us prcSen'cd.and broke them on his si.nil.
Matt Weiss, Il Smitbfield street saloon
keeper noted for his hard lead, Became
