With Daniel Drew, Leonard W. Jerome, Daniel Groesbeck, Jacob Lit tie, Jay Cooke and Fisk and Hatch, life was a continual game. With them 1t was a dull day when what would be a fortune to many men was not won or lost.
 Drew was liberal to religious insti- tutions, and founded Drew Theological College with a donation of $500,000; Groesback was worth $10,000, 900. Jay Cooke made his millions as agent for the Government 7-30 and 5-20 bonds.
 "Other members in The Book of Wealth are Jay Gould whose fortune was placed at $100,000, 900; Russell Sage, James R. Keene. who has S3,000. 900; Joseph J. O'Donohue, who has $5,O00,- 900; John H. Staver, s20,00O, 900; John H. Inman at $S,000,0 GOO.
 Matthew Vassar laid the founda- tion of his fortune as brewer. He gave Vassar College during his life S650, 900, and his heirs gave much more. Peter Cooper is known to fame as a philanthropist. James B. Colgate has given $2000,000 to Colgate University; Ezra Cornell, S350 900 to Cornell Uni versity; Jonas c. Clark gave a million for Clark University; Rockefeller has given millions to Chicago University.

When the Americans regained posses sion of the city, in 11S3, the political control of the State was divided among the Livingstons, the Clintons and the Schuylers. The author speaks of Rob- ert Livingston, who gave liberally to colleges and sold some of his property to aid his country. He devotes several pages to the Clinton family. There was Charles Clinton, who came from Ire land to Philadelphia in 1792 in charge of a company of enligrants. His son. General George Clinton, was five times Governor of the State and fourth Vice President of the United States. There was Brigadier General James Clinton of Revolutionary fame and the father of De Witt Clinton, who became Gov ernor, Mayor and State Senator, and was the chief promoter of the Erie canal.
 MT Bancroft speaks of the Van Rens- selaers as contributing much to the material prosperity of New York. Kill laen Van Rensselaer,, the founder of the family, acquired 700,0 900 acres of land along the Hudson. This property was farmed out by him and his successors under a kind of feudal tenure. Stephen Van Rensselaer, fifth in descent from the founder, was one of the promoters of the Erie canal. He also founded the Van Rensselaer, Polytechnic Institute at Troy.
 Gouverneur Morris, founder of anoth- CT notable family, was chairman of the Erie Canal Commissioners from the first meeting until within a few months of his death. He purchased the land which became the patrimonial estate, and is now called Morrisania.

milk must taste the same as the real article which meant that a solution of salts must be found that would give a sweet saline taste; second, that his sub- stitute must look exactly like cows milk.
 In both of these points he succeeded beyond detection. Unfortunately for himself he entirely overlooked the rel ative nutritive value of his concoction and bona-fde milk. A chemical analy- sis placed the amount of nutritious matter in the manufactured milk at "nil'' and declared in addition that 1t was extremely injurious.
 This proved too much for the Bos- ton Board of Health and it cut short the milk manufacturer career by con- fiscating his plant and sending him to jail.
 Next popped up a clever Chicago man who endeavored to knock the feather out of the hens cap. He placed on the market fresh eggs, laid in a laboratory, unaided or abetted by chick ems. Not only were the yelkS and whites perfect in all respects, but even the shell defied detection.
 For a time things looked very black for the hennerieS and the artificial eggs were sold in immense quantities in the streets of Chicago But it was very soon discovered by the amazed house. wives that while these delightfully."- cheap eggs, could be readily boiled 1t was utterly impossible to poach them The moment the inside came in con- tact with the boiling water a chemical change took place that made them un- palatable. That part of Chicago that loves poached eggs immediately rose in protest. and the Board of Health took a hand in the egg factory and the fate of the inventor.
 The eggs not having been sold on the system Your money back if you don't like them" the inventor raked in his big profits of he first weeks sales and then locked himself up in his labora- tory and set aDout the task of manu- featuring an egg that would poach as well as boil. As the Board of Health has not yet accepted any of his results it is safe to say he has not yet manu- factured an egg that will satisfy the dubious authorities.

Food Commissioners Ha9e Taken Up the Matter and
 Battle Is on Hand Against Such Deliberations

The crowning feat, however, in the matter of artificial foods must t' cred ited to France, where an imitation oys- ter was manufactured. So successful was the made oyster that it deceived epicures who believed themselves con- noisseurs on bivalves.
 The inventor collected real shells and then by some process, the details of which have never become known, con- cocted a saline blanc mango. It would withstand heat, and In color, form and taste could not be told apart from real oyster The made oysters would keep much longer than the real oys- ters, and this very fact reused the suspicion of the authorities. The oys- ters were investigated"
 Foods are digested in proportion to their readiness to decompose. It was found that while the imitation oyster did not decompoSe it also did not di- gent national pure-food w, effectu- ally stopped the sale.
 A very unique food substitute has just been unearthed in Paris. The mu- nicipal authorities there are compelled to keep their eyes wide open in spite of national surveillance, for the French are the most clever people in the world in making food palatable. 1t was discovered that one of the largest bakeries in Paris was substituting vaseline for butter in the manufacture of pastry. Vaseline is cheaper than any of the organic fats and the cakes and pies lost nothing in taste or fla vor by the substitution. But while the palate lost nothing by the ex- change the stomach suffered untold agonies. for vaseline is absolutely in- digestible.
 The owner of the bakery was arrest ed and punished to the full extent of the law. The latest aspirant for honors in the good as genuine" line is a MT. Day of Cincinnati, who claims to have successfully made nutritious milk, employing electricity as one of the agencies. Chemists and scientists in- terested in this branch of foods still declare, however, that "Bossy" is still queen of the milk givers and that the factory is not built yet that can de- prive her of that honor.

refers to the Astor library which was founded by the head of the house of Astor. He speaks in other pages Of the material advancement and progress made by the Astors and of how their wealth has benefited the city of New York.
 Gerrit Smith. partner of John Jacop Astor, was man of great wealth ana purchased land in nearly every county in New York. He was exceedingly lib- eral. In the year 1S4S he gave to pub lie and private charities 100000 acres in lots of fifty acres each. He gave John Brown special and substantial aid in his project for freeing the negroes
 MT Bancroft recently spoke in a gen. eral way of what he will say concern ing New Workers who are mentioned in his book. He said:
 Cornelius Vanderbilt's career and the wealth of his descendants are re- viewed at length. Cornelius Wander biIt, the head of the house. is a man of refined and intellectual tastes, as is George w. Vanderbilt, who is emphat- ically scholarly in his tastes. Plato and Kant, Horace and Dante are his favorite authors. There are few places in the world which surpass in grandeur and value George w. Vanderbilts 30,- 900 acres and magnificent residence in the Blue Ridge forests of .orth Caro- lina The house is in a 100-acre park, withe seventy-five acres of garden and conservatories.
 August Belmont, the founder of the notable Belmont family, came to New York as agent for the Rothschilds. He was a native of Germany, and married a daughter of Commodore Perry. He was a patron of the fine arts and of the turf, diplomat and banker.

 Those are only a few of the substf- tutes for food that are being discovered by the men who are battling for pure food. The fight has been going on for some time now, but so warm has 1t be- come that scientists and authorities of several Governments are holding meet ings to formulate more systematic plans of campaign against the food adulterants.
 States of the Union are appointing special food commissions and the United States Government has set number of analytical chemists to the task of throwing all the light possible on food adulterations and food subsu- tutes Some remarkable discoveries have been made by them; discoveries that will simply astound the plain, averv-day man who eats a plain, every day meal.
 Manufactured milk is an extraordin- ary composition, and an ingenious Bos- to,nian was in the way of making tidy fortune out of his recipe, when the au- thorities cut short his trade and landed him in jail. The milk he made was not adulterated milk, the stuff that some purveyors furnish by simply adding water or chalk or starch and water to milk.
 After some months of experimental work. this Boston genius succeeded in evolving from a minute percentage of milk and a solution of salts a beverage that in all outer respects resembled milk His connection could be placed on the market at about one-tenth the cost of milk obtained from cows.
 In working out the theory, the inge- nious Yankee kept in mind two impar- tant facts; first, that his non-bovine
