lamentably weak and unsatisfactory. The
performance opened with clever skit, en-
titled "7-1177." dealing with the charac-
tiers and business of a policy shop. In
this sketch clever comedy work was
brought forth and the singing was en-
joyable. as almost everything was new and
rendered with the dashing spirit for which
these people are reputed. The specialties
included Billy Miller in original monologue

s1O,OOO,OO0 makes a fuss, and talks
about breaking the will. 1t is a fact that
young Cornelius would have done so, If
Alfred, of the present generation, had
not divided with him TO make his share
equal those of the younger children.
Yet he had by the will 81 500, 900, while
his grand uncle Cornelius had but one
sixth part of that sum.
William H. Vanderbilt, the richest
man in the world, had eight children,
and gave the younger ones and girls
more generous shares than his sisters
20 times as much, in most cases-had re-
ceived. He then divided what was left
of his wealth between Cornelius and
William X, thus establishing them as
his successors; but this so split up his
fortune that neither of his children was
as big figure in the financial world as
he had been.
Then Cornelius Vanderbilt, the third

ton of the fortune that descended tc
him was divided between five children

William II. Vanderbilt inherited s75,

Bicycle and Rubber Trusts tc
Hitch.

New York, Nov. 14.-Tt is now ad-
mitted by the directors of the Ameri-
can Bicycle Company and the officials
of the Rubber Goods Company that the
two organizations have at last come
to satisfactory agreement The
agreement between the two corpora
tlons does not stipulate that the max
ers must purchase tires from the rub
Der company, but there is a tactic un-
derstanding to do So The bicycle
makers who were interested in the
manufacture of tires have disposed of
their plants to the rubber goods comp
any for a stipulated price.
Besides the old plants controlled by
the rubber company the deal gives that
concern the plants of the Hartford
Rubber Company, the Indiana Bicycle
Company, the Indianapolis Rubber
Company and the Peoria Rubber and
Manufacturing Company. Those in a
position to know say that no advance
in the price of tires next season is ex-
pected in the trade. 1t is said tnat the
rubber company now controls over 10C
patents covering the manufacture OF
rubber tires and ether bicycle parts
and that much expensive litigation has
consequently been avoided.

popularity supposed. For, although Mr..
Depew's estimate of $70,OOO,0OO for the
entire estate is rather small, it is true
that it did not approach the absurd esti-
mates put upon it.
William II. Vanderbilt once said that
he was the richest man in the world.
81 know" he explained, that the
duke of Westminster has trife larger
capital than 1 but his property is near
ly all real estate in London, and pro-
duces a very low rate of interest; my in
come is far greater than his. The
Rothschilds are very rich, as a family,
but no one of them individually has as
much money as I. I'm the richest man
in the world"
No other Vanderbilt has ever made
such n boast or could have done So;
while with the passing of three genera
tions, the individual Importance of the
men of the family has grown less and
less. Cornelius was less wealthy than
his father; Alfred will be less wealthy
than Cornelius, unless he lives to much
greater age and develops faculty for
strict economy. Meanwhile interest
rates are declining-they will almost
certainly be made by law five per cent,
In all the eastern states very soon-and
the return upon invested money is less.

Production Of Petroleum il
1898.

r. H. Ollphant, of this city, is the
author of that portion of the twentieth
Annual Report of the United States
Geological Survey devoted to the PRO
duction of Petroleum for 1895" His
figures show that the entire produc-
tion of the United States in 1898 was
55,364 ,223 barrels, compared with Co.
475,516 barrels in 1896, which was a
decrease of 5,111,2SS barrels, or S.45
per cent The year 1898 stands third
in l.-e order of production; the product
of 1896 was the largest of any year,
while that of 1897 was a very close
second. The State of Texas showed
the largest percentage of increase, ,hav-
ing produced seven barrels in 1898 for
every one produced in 1897 OF the to-
tai yield in the United States the
Pennsylvania, or eastern oil region,
produced 57.2S per cent, the Lima-In-
diana region 1870 per cent. and all
other sections 6.O2 per cent.-oll City

Other Reforms Necessary.

Under the above heading the Pitts
burg Zines says relative to reform in
ih- Lallot system;
Neither is their absolute safety to
be expected from any device, mechan-
lcai or otherwise. Machines have to
be operated by human agencies. II
would be just as easy to push a button
or work lever two hundred times on
a voting machine as 1t is to put two
hundred ballots, already marked, into
a ballot box under our present system.
With dummy election boards and un-
scrupulous men frauds are possible
under any system now in use or yet to
be devised. A reform in those who
run elections is the first step. The
severest punishment for every man
who dares to thwart the peoples will
by fraud and the utter repudlation of
the leaders, high or low who father
and promate such frauds ard are the
direct Denefciaries of them, are the
first and great steps toward true re-
form, ind they should be unfalteringly
taken.
There was time very recently when
election frauds fourished in San Fran
cisco, but with the conviction and
sentence TO fifteen years in the penl-
tentiary of those who were most active
in their preparation they came to a
sudden end.

rating the outside
of the late quarters of the defaulting
Aellio: 'Banca Italiana; Bustata," 1t
ran. The owner of the place had run
away with about $15O,OO0 belonging to
depositors.
Within ten years 21 so-called banks
have collapsed in New York, all of
which were patronized exclusively by
Italians. The total losses of these un-
fortunate Italians-at present the poor
est nationality in New York--was more
than 81 100000, In the Bergamini, Bar
sotti and Aellio failures alone half a
million were lost.
Anybody who can pay the rent of a
store and put up sign reading "Banca
Italiana," and can spare about hun
dred dollars in gold in the window, to
shine into the eyes of possible deposi-
tors, can transact a private banking
business in the italian quarter. All
| through the summer, when the poor
toiling men of the south are digging
away in trenches and celTers, doing the
hardest work of the growing town, the
deposits in the Italian banks are grow
ing. When fall comes, and Beppo OF
Antonio plans TO visit his old home, he
goes to get his money; sometimes he
| gets it, and sometimes the banker,
having anticipated a run upon his place
has thoughtfully shut up shop anG
gone TO have some fun on his own &C
count.
This Is why the Italians, as their chill
dren learn to read English and learr
the ways of the country, are beginning
to put millions into the savings banks
They are very thrifty; they will get
along. They are beginning to buy
farms. Those who know them only al
railroad laborers would be surprised
TO see some of the farms of the Con
necticut Italian colony. They can teael
Americans a trick or two about farm
ing In their own country.

~ Or What New York Is Talking ~,
SSS About These Days. SO

Cornelius Vanderbilt inherited $780,
100000, and died worth not less than
S70,O0O,OOO. He was never so rich a
man as his grandfather.
Alfred Vanderbilt, the head of the
family in the fourth generation, inher-
its about $40, 900, ,00O-less than either
his father or his grandfather. BY the
time he is 80. when he gets control OF
his full estate, there will probably be
so richer men in America than he.
II, in his turn, Alfred shall have a
large number of children; II he shall
live in his fathers palace, that cost So
100000 to build and furnish, and no
body knows how much to open; IL he
spends money as lavishly as his father
did, and as a very rich man is expected
to spend it, the vanderbilts of the fifth
generation will not be very rich.
