Is 1t Coming to This!

The keeper pointed sadly to the in
mate of the padded cell.
''This,' he said lis our worst case.
He is trying to get some one to answer
a conundrum for him"
"What is the conundrum?" asked
the visitor, who is somewhat of a
guesser himself.
''Why, it goes this way: What is
it that is not, but will be, yet it is now
though it never has been before, and
we will not see its end?"
my dear man," said the visitor,
you'll find the answer to that in the
newspapers. 1t is the twentieth CEN

The Lonliest People on Earth.

Perhaps the most isolated tribe of
people in the world is the Tshutshi,
people occupying the northern portion
of the peninsula of Kamskatka and the
country northward toward Behring
Straits.
These people are practically indepen-
dent of Russia, who appears to have
reasons of her own for letting them
alone. They have practically no COM
munication with the outside world and
have only been visited two or three
times-the last time by Major de
Windt on his journey through Siberia.
The inhabitants of the New Siberian
Islands are also practically alone on
earth, for they can only communicate
with the mainland, and therefore with

MEN WITH THE MOST MONEY
Duke Of Westminster's In
come $50 a Minute.
KRUPP HAS THE LARGEST PRIVATE BUSINESS
The Vanderbilts, Goulds, astors and
John P. Rockefeller Lead
in America.

The Rothschilds are said to be the
richest family in the world. They are
the money lenders of the universe, and
among their customers are kings and
governments. The Paris branch of
the banking firm is said to keep cap
ital of $500, 600, 600 at its command and
hardly war takes place in the Eastern
Hemisphere for which funds are not
furnished by this family. 1t is hardly
credible, but true nevertheless, that
five generations back the ancestor of
the Rothchilds was selling old clothes
in the Jewish quarter of FrankfOrt-on-
the-Main, then, as now, the filthiest
quarter of that city. When Anselm
Rothschild, the founder of the family
fortune, died leaving $4,000, 900 to his
five sons, he made them promise to
keep the fortune in the family and to
carry on the business together. They
kept their promise and it is this policy
that has been the handspring of their
success.
The richest man in England is said
to be the Duke of Westminster, who
has miles of tenement houses and many
square miles of agricultural land, be-
sides property of immense value in the
midst of the business portion of the
city of London. His income is said to
be $50 minute all the year round,
$4,000 an hour or $72, 900 a day.
The two Noble brothers, the oil
magnates of Russia and possessors of
the great petroleum wells in the Cau-
casus, are said to be worth $400, 600, 900
and have greater income than the
Car.
Krupp, the celebrated inventor and
manufacturer of the guns that bear his
name, has the largest private business
in the world. He employs about 20, 600
hands and 5000 people derive their
support from him. His income tax
amounts to S37, a year and repre-
sents an income of more than S3l, 900, 600
yearly.
AS to the millionaires and multi
millionaires in the United States, their
name is legion; among them, the Van
derbilts, whose combined fortune ex-
ceeds $500, 100000 invested almost
entirely in railroads which yield enor-
NOUS dividends; the Astors with about
an equal amount of wealth invested in
real estate; the Gould family who in
herlted $40, O,OOO, 900 from their father;
John P Rockefeller, president of the
Standard Oil Co., whose annual income
is said to be 500, 900, 600 and who about
thirty years ago was bookkeeper in
a little store in Water treet, New
York. Mr.. Rockefeller is celebrated
for his munifcence as well as for his
wealth and has given more than s10-
600, 900 to one of our Universities. 1t
is singular and significant fact that
many men of humble origin who have
built up fortunes in this country have
contributed generously to Universities
and other educational adjustments
and so provided for others the facilities
for mental culture of which they them
selves were deprived.

Says He Presented False TeS-

Judge Brown Convinced That the Bank
rupt is Guilty as Charged by
Washington National Bank.

Judge Brown. in the United States
district court. this morning. handed
down an opinion in the case of Joseph
Dews, who petiuoned to be discharged
from bankruptcy. and whose petition
was opposed by the Washington Ma
tional Bank of Boston.
According TO the opinion the petition
was opposed on the ground that the
bankrupt has made false oath and a
false account in and in relation to
proceeding in bankruptcy, also because
said bankrupt made and presented 10
the court, in writing, as a part of his
evidence, a false account entitled,
statement of expenditures" which oc-
count purported TO show the AaE in
which said bankrupt had spent Sl25,-
242.9S. withdrawn by him from the Phe-
nix Woolen company, and also on the
ground that bankrupt made false
oath and testified falsely TO said court
in substance that said account substan-
TALLY showed the manner In which the
sum Withdrawn from the Phenix
woolen company had been expended
by him.
KNEW WHAT WAS NECESSARY.

long a subject OF examination, and the
bankrupt was so thoroughly aware OF
the necessityof accounting fully for the
disposition OF this sum that he had
prepared and brought into court with
him a written account showing on one
side by items the amounts received
from the Phenix Woolen company, and
on the other what was marked In open
court as a Statement OF expenditures"
Not only does the face OF the account
show that ii was prepared and intend
ed TO show the manner I'm which the
sum Of s125.242.9S received by the bank
rupt was expended, but IL was in ex-
press terms presented TO the court for
that purpose.
The opinion then quotes from certain
portions OF the testimony given by Mr..
Dews I'm open court, and then says that
IL is clear beyond a reasonable doubt
that the bankrupt intended that the
court should accept this as a statement
Of what had been done with the sum
OF S125. 600 and should believe that no
part of this sum had ben concealed or
appropriated by the bankrupt. Yet II
is an indisputable fact that In this
very account there is a concealment of
the method of disposing Of some $50, 900
OF the bankrupt's receipts.
