White Pass Railroad.

SKAGwAY, Alaska, Feb. 16, via Seattle,
Feb. 20,-The tack of building railroad
along the precipitous side of the canyon
from Skagway to the summit OF White
pass, an elevation of nearly 5000 feet,
has been completed. The first carload
of freight was delivered on the summit
yesterday. The event was made the
occasion of an exchange of courtesies be-
tween the railway and Canadian officials.
From the summit to Lake Bennett the
work of construction is comparatively
easy, and the track will be laid in few
weeks.

then swung over the river bank, oppo-
site the insurgent trenches facing the
American position at Macati, and opened
a flank fire on the insurgents across the
river.
Two guns of the Sixth artillery, under
Lieutenant Ecott, pounded the insur-

CATARRH OF
THE STOMACH
A Pleasant, Simple: but Safe and Eff
fecual Cure for 1t.

Catarrh of the stomach has long been
considered the next thing to incurable.
The usual symptoms are full or bloat-
ing sensation after eating, accompanied
sometimes with sour and watery risings.
a formation of gases, causing pressure
on the heart and lungs and difficult
breathing; headaches, tickle appetite,
nervousness and a general played out
languid feeling.
There is often foul taste in the mouth
coated tongue and if the interior of the
stomach could be seen it would show a
Shiny, inflamed condition.
The cure of this common and obsti-
nate trouble is found IN treatment
which causes the food to be readily thor
and irritate the delicate mucus surfaces
of the stomach. To secure prompt and
healthy digestion is the one necessary
thing to do, and when normal digestion
is secured the catarrhal condition will
have disappeared.
According to DIR. Harlanson the safest
and best treatment is to use after each
meal tablet, composed of Diatase, ,Asep-
tic Pepsin, little Nux, Golden Seal
and fruit acids. These tablets can now
be found at ali drugstores under the
name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and
not being patent medicine can be used
with perfect safety and assurance that
healthy appetite and thorough digestion
will certainly follow their regular use af-
ter meals.
Mr.N ]. Booher, of 27IO Dearborn

is local condition resulting rom a
neglected cold in the head. whereby the
lining mem branes of the nose become
infamed and the poisonous discharge
therefrom passing backward into the

ducing catarrh of the stomach. Medica

Probably the wealthiest family in the
worlds history is the Rothschilds, for
thelr aggregate wealth, which is distrib-
uted over 20 branches, is not less than
s2.ooo' GOO 600. and would probably greatly
exceed that amount The nursery of this
vast wealth was a dingy pawnbroker's
SHOP in the I~ndengasse, at Frankfort.
During 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 million
aires, five sons and five daughters, was

a few ounces of old silver. or chartered
about the advances on a bundle of old

his character by western ideals, for his
method Of playing the game of politics
has been bewildering and peculiar. Dur

expressed it. "he has lost enough peacock

The Richest Men Of All Nations
RUSSIA, FRANCE, GERMANY. PRJS STA, CHINA. MEXICO AND ENGLAND
ALL HAVE THEI r MIIIIONAIREs.

1t is a mistake for one to suppose that
because the names of Aston, Vanderbilt
and Rockefeller have become synonyms
for wealth in the United States that the
only millionaires are those who pay taxes
in this country, for while it is a difficult
matter to state who is the richest man
in the world it is safe to say that there
are scores of men in other countries, men
whose names are almost unknoWn TO the
general reader. whose wealth is sufficient
to make the American big fortunes n
into comparative insignlficance.
There are rich men in all the five CONT
nents, men who estimate their fortunes
by millions and hundreds of millions, ana
some of them may be found IN places
where it would seem as If they were
least likely to appear Germany, for IN
stance, is not a land of rich men. and YET
there are several noblemen in the land,
men like the Prince OF Pless, Count
Henckel Donnersmarck and Prince
Puckler. whose wealth will exceed that
of my person in either England or
America.
The richest man in England is by long
odds the Duke of Westchester. 1t has
been estimated that his income is close
upon $40 a minute. which would make it
about S. 900, 600 per annuln, and 1t is
growing by prodigious leaps owing to
the fact that 99-year leases made by
a former duke are falling in and as the
lana Is now Oh the SiedteSl value. Ietts
in proportion to the increase will here
after be charged.
In fact, as the bulk of the dukes
property is in land. much of which is
located in the fashionable sections OF
London, his fortune is constantly in
creasing without any effort on his part,
and yet he is troubled with the fear thai
either he or some of his family will yet
bring up in the poorhouse.
Great as this wealth is, however. it is
little as compared with the gigantic for

lionaires. General Basilewski, who died

| These few words express fully the posi-
ton that Ii Hung Chang has held in the
political life of the world. AS a million
aire, however, he has long held a posi-
was born a poor boy and for a long time
taught school. he has succeeded in
amassing a fortune that is probably not
less than $500, 900, 900. How he achieved
this feat is a secret that the celestial
millionaire has not divulged, but his
diplomatic life has been full of opportu-
mites , and it is evident that they have
not been neglected.
At present, while much OF his fortune
is in China, the willy diplomat has banked
a 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
empire, and he has placed a portion of
| his property where he would be sure to
find it in case of emergency. AS 1t is,
| however, he is the richest individual in
! China, with the possible exception Of the
dowager empress.
Another Chinaman whose wealth would
pass the hundred million mark is Chank
vi, the president Of the Chinese Engl-
neering and Mining company. Like Ii
Hung Chang, he was a poor boy. but he
took advantage of every opportunity,
and today he is not only one of the most
wealthy persons in the country, but he
can account for every penny of his vast
fortune, and show that he came by it
honestly. He is the iron and coal king
of China, is the leader in all banking in
terests and own a large block of the
stock of all the railroad companies in the
country.
Mexico has a multi-millionaire who.
while he bears the common name OF John
Smith, deserves to be rated among the
richest men in the world. The extent of
his wealth may be judged from the fact
that he himself is unable to estimate it
even approximately.

In spite of this non-committal attitude,
| however, there is no doubt that he is
! worth more than $500. 900, 900. He owns a
gold mine that is simply inexhaustible,
and from which he expects to take not
less than 81, OOO. 900. 900 before he dies. In
addition to this he has tens of millions in>
vested in railroad and bank stocks, and
he also OWNS thousands of acres of real
estate and so many cattle that 1t would
keep a man busy for a month TO count
them.
In spite of all this Smith is a man of
simple tastes. He lives well, but not eX-
travagantly, and his sole ambition is to
become the richest individual IN the
! world. If his life is spared he may yet
| succeed in his ambition, but as he is
already more than so years OF age his
success may be regarded as wAla t
| doubtful. o.
! What. as compared to these almost in
! calculable fortunes are the Daltrya MIL
ions of the Goulds, Sage and the5sVan-
derbiits. OF course, there are rich men
in this country. The Asitor ESTATE. for
instance. is probably not less than 5000. :
OoC. zoo. and John d. Rockefeller alone is
worth as much money in his own right.
The Vanderbilts, if all their interests
should be united, would be worth even
more, but even these fortunes, great as
. they may seem, are small when COM
pared to the hundreds of millions held
by some of the rich men of Europe and
Asia.
In this country the richest individual
is undoubtedly Mr.. Rockefeller. Less
, than 40 years ago, it is said, he was Il
new,sboy earning his own living by, sell
ing papers on the street. Today he is a
man who cannot tell within a few mil
lions just how much he is worth. and his
, money is invested in scores of financial
enterprises. all of which are highly profit
able. Next to Mr.. Rockefeller, Cornelius
Vanderbilt is the richest individual
j American. and he anderbilts are close
ly followed by the Astors and the Goulds.
In no instance, however, do the fortunes
of our American mill.onaires equal those
of some of the rich men of the cid world.
