FORTUNES OF ACTRESSES.
Mrs. Carter and Viola Allen Are at
the Top Of the List.

The fortunes of actresses have al
ways interested the public, even If
events often proved they were mere
hcticiouS In the amounts mentioned.
AS matter Of fact wealth among ac-
tresses Is not always to be found where
1t Is commonly supposed to exist. No
such picturesque estimation of stage
fortunes as that which originated in IA
woman's magazine has ever been heard
Of. According to the authority who
promulgated this statement not more
than i've years Is required for sue
cessful actress to accumulate for
tune. In this latest list Mrs. Carter is
said to be worth $330.O00; Viola Allen
has 100000; Julia NARROW, $210,0O0;
Ada Rehan, $250,000; Lillian Russell,
$250,000; Annie Russell is supposed to
possess the same amount; Adele
Richie has 100000; May Irwin, $780,
600; Anna Held. the same amount;
Julia Arthur, 100000, and Mrs. Fiske
possesses the same.
The most successful of all the ac-
tresses named here seems to be Adele

managed to save fortune. Lillian
Russell has sung rarely in a successful
performance for several seasons, and
manager recently estimated that her
earnings for the past two or three
years must have been slight. Last
season she sang for only three months.
With fortune of $250,000 to her cred
il, however, she can afford to take her
ease.
Mrs. Carriers earnings practically be-
gan two years ago. Annie Russell has
only received large salaries of late, and
1t was not long ago that a benefit had
to be given for her. Mrs. Fisk was
off the stage for term of years, and
1t would have taken phenomenal sue
cess for her to earn 100000 since her
return.
Julia Arthur has a husband worth
several millions, and is one of the few
actresses who possesses in reality the
sort of fortune generally supposed to
be so common on the stage.

ORIGIN OF THE FIRE.

Someone Threw q Lighted Match Into a
Lace Curtain.
Regarding the origin Of the fire the
Herald publishes the following:
John Foy, waiter in the hotel, was
passing through the hall on the parlor
floor, the first above the street. He was
making his way to place where he
could catch moments sight of the
parade. In front of him walked a
man, patron of the hotel. The waiter
did not know him. Passing thus one
behind the other, they had nearly
gained the angle of the passage

sixth street, when the patron drew a
match and lighted cigar or cigarette.
He tossed the match aside. It was still
blazing and fell into the folds of lace
curtain. In an instant the flimsy fabric
was ablaze and the flames shot to sur
rounding draperies. This, from all &C.
counts, was the origin of the holocaust
in which many human beings persisted
and others were severely mangled, while
helpless thousands looked on in wild
horror.
