NEW YORK, Dec. 18.-Upon the shoulders
of twenty -eight-year-ol Stewart M. Brice
has fallen the great responsibility of man
aging his late fathers fVe-milliOn-dollar
estate. Young Mr.. Hrice realizes the fact
that it is a difficult task for novice. But
he thinks he can direct the extensive rail-
road interests which devolve on him. In
of his own fortune, for it is known that
he is handsomely provided for in his faith
er's will. 1t is quite likely that he Will
be his fathers successor as vice president
of the Duluth South Shore q Atlantic Rail-
road and as a director of the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company.
Stewart M. Brice graduated from Har-
ward in 1893. He made his political debut
last wear when he selected coun-
Gilman from the Fourth district on the
Tammany ticket. When the war broke out
with Spain he was appointed commlssary
of subsistence, with the rank of captain.
He served in Cuba on Skaters staff. He
is popular in social circles, but 1t is said
that he cares more about politics than So
cfety.
