Millionaires-M Men Who Estimate Their Fortunes by Hun dreds of Millions

It is a mistake for one to suppose that because the names Astor, Vanderbilt and Rockefeller have become synonyms for wealth in the United States that the only mllionaires are those who pay taxes in this country, for while it Is difficult mat ter to state who is the richest man in the world 1t is safe to say tht there are scores of men in other countries, men whose names are almost unknown to the gen. eral reader, whose wealth is sufficient to make the American big fortunes sink int make the American big fortunes sink into comparative insigniticance
 There are rich men in all the five con tinents, men who estimate their fortunes by millions and hundreds of millions and some of them may be found In places where 1t would seem as if they were least likely to appear. Germany, for instance, is not a land of rich men and yet there are sev- eral noblemen in the land, men like the

who pays a tax on an incou-e of s2,OOO,000 per annum. As the maker of big guns much of his fortune has been due to his own effort, and it is safely invested in the big manufacturing establishments of Germany.
 Probably the wealthiest family in the worlds history Is the Rothschilds, for their aggregate wealth, which Is distribu- ted over twenty branches Is not less than s2,00o O0OO0O. and would probably greatly exceed that amount. The nursery of this vast wealth was a dingy pawnbrokers shop in the 1ndengasse, at Frankfort. Dur ing the middle of the last century the founder of the great family lived in a quaint little house, in the front room of which he carried on his business, under the sign of the Red Shield.
 Here the first brood of budding mill aires, five sons and five daughters, was reared, and while they played about like the children of any other poor Jew, the father, 1t is said, drove hard bargains for a few ounces of old silver or chaffered about the advances on a bundle of old clothes. Small as this beginning was, how ever, it laid the foundation for a fortune that is worldwide in it's influence for to- day there is not country in the world where the wealth of the Rothsehllds is not financial power.
 A glance around the world of million aires will reveal no more picturesque figure than that of Ii Hung Chang, the Chinese millonaires, who has played a part in the worlds history that will not soon be for gotten. It is impossible to estimate his character by Western ideals for his method of playing the game of politics has been bewildering and peculiar. During his long life, as one biographer has expressed 1t, "he has lost enough peacock feathers to make an eastern screen and won them back in a manner that makes the worlds head swim; he has had buttons cut off and but tons sewed on. He has been the friend of every nation and the enemy in turn.'
 These few words express fully the posi- tion that Ii Hung Chang has held in the political life of the world. As million aire, however, he has long held a posi- ton at the head of the list for while he was born poor boy and for a time taught school, he has succeeded in amass-
The age-herald., 1899-09-10

ing fortune that is probably not less than 00,O00000. How he achieved this fear Is secret that the celestial million aire has not divulged but his diplomatic life has been full of opportunities and it is evil dent that they have not been neglected.
 At present, while much of his fortune is in China, the willy diplomat has banked large sum with the Bank of England. During his years of experience he has learned that political supremacy is a most uncertain quantity in the Celestial Elm pre and he has placed portion of his property where he wouldsbe sure to find 1t in case of emergency. As 1t is, however, he is the richest individual in China, with the possible exception of the Dowager Elm press.
 Another Chinaman whose wealth would pass the hundred million mark is Chank Vi the president of the Chinese Engineer ing and Mining company. Like Ii Hung Chang he was a poor boy but he took ad- vantage of every opportunity and today he Is not only one of the most wealthy per sons in the country but he can account for every penny of his vast fortune and show that he came by 1t honestly. He is the iron and coal king of China is the leader in all banking interests and owns large block of the stock of all the railroad com panies in the country.
 What as compared to these almost in- calculable fortunes are the paltry millions of the Goulds Sage and the Vanderbilts. Of course there are rich men in this coun- try. The Astor estate, for instance. is probab bly, not less than $200 900 ,000 and John D. Rockefeller alone is worth as much money in his own right. The Nanderbilts, if all their interests should be united. would be worth even more, but even these for tunes, great as they may seem, are small when compared to the hundreds of millions held by some of the rich men of Europe
The age-herald., 1899-09-10

Prince of Pless, Count Henckle Donners- marck and Prince Fucker whose wealth will exceed that of any person in either England or America.
 The richest man in England Is by long odds the Duke of Westminster. It has been estimated that his income Is close upon $1O minute, which would make 1t about $S,00O.000 per annum, and 1t Is grow ing by prodigious leaps owing to the fact that ninety mine year leases made by former duke are falling in and as the land is now of the greatest value rents in pro- portion to the increase will hereafter be charged
 Tn fact, as the bulk of the dukes prop esty is in land, much of which is located in the fashionable sections of London, his fortune is constantly increasing without any effort on his part, and yet he is trou- bled with the fear that either he or some of his family will yet bring up in the poorhouse.
 Great az this wealth is. however, 1t is little as compared to the gigantic fortunes of some of the Russian multi-millionaires. General Besiewski, who died few months ago, left an estate the amount of which is simply incalculable and 1t is safe to say that the income from his properties would exceed tbat of the CZar of Russia, which has been estimated al S50OO0UO per annum. It includes vast gold mines in Siberia and two estates, either of which are larger than many kingdoms besides
 
 terest in the largest sturgeon fisheries.
 Another Russian multi-mllionaire is the Princess Yousoupo, whose husband is of American descent. She, too, has vast mining interests as well as holdings in real estate and bonds that are sufficient to net her an annual income far greater than that of many monarchs. Equally in- eXhaustible is the Demidoff estate which controls many large mines In Siberia.
 Of course there are royal personages Tn all parts of Europe whose wealth has pass ed the $500, ,0O0 point, but it is not GUS tomary to consider them with other mill ionaires though why they should not take their place in the list is somewhat of mystery. The late Archduke Albert of Austria left nearly s500,000,000 in cash and bonds, besides a large slice of the empire and abont 30 per cent of all the big manu- factories In the country.
 The father of the present prince of Bull garla had fortune that represented tens of millions of pounds sterling and there are scores of just such fortunes held by royalty in. Europe today. Even the de- throned monarchs possess wealth to de- gree that would make many American for tunes too small While the Bourbons are not as wealthy as some others they are comfortably well off and the wealth of the Orleans family Is very great. Don Carlos has expended millions in carrying out his various adventures and yet he has as sion should demand so that the time has pa ssed when the term ''roi en eXif' was synonym for poverty.
 One of the richest, If not the richest men. in Prussia is Fred Alfred Krupp'

old son of Mir and Mrs Ben M. Jacobs who is spending the summer in the lake re- gions with his mother, writes the follow ing interesting letter to his grandma from Chicago:
 Dear Grandma:-Me have just come from drive out through Lincoln park and out over the Lincoln boulevard and Sheri- dan Road. Out at Lincoln park there were all sorts of animals from foreign countries. There were so many that 1 cannot begin to name them all but I will name a few of them, but I must first tell you that they were all alive. There was the polar bear, the black bear, grizzly bear, lion, wolf, tiger, zebra, water buffalo, buffa- ioes, mountain sheep, hyena. reindeer, llama and monkeys. There were so many things cannot think of them all now, but I must say that the polar bear was the prettest thing you ever laid your eye on. Friday we went out to the field, Columbian Museum and saw heap of things from Pompeii and Rome. Today we saw the Art building. We saw some beautiful pictures in it. One of them, the man that owned them. was offered $75,000 for 1t and refused it. It will take me about two months to tell you and Uncle Bob all that l have seen in these two weeks each one Of you a month We leave here at 10 a. m., to- morrow for Waukesha. We are going from here to Milwaukee by water. Tell Rose next time she writes to write some kind of a letter. l will close now with love and kisses to you. Your only grandson.
 LEROY R. JACOBS"
 ''P. S:-I forgot to tell you about the Bat tie of Manila we saw and 1t was the best thing you ever saw. It was a dark night when Dewey came in the bay of Manila and you could hear the rain and thunder and see the lightning. You could see the lights in Manila. At length it came little day, but such a little you may say it was still night. All at once the ships begun to fire and it was just like you were in the very heat of the battle. It was now a little daylight. You could see Admiral Dewey standing in his place on the Olympia signaling to the other ships what to do You can see the Spanish ships on fire. You could see the smoke coming up from the water where the balls were hit in the water. At last the battle was over, the American flags were flying over Manila. Dewey had won the battle of Manila.
