ROYALTY INVESTS
MONEY IN STOCKS



Widespread is the belief that the
crowned heads and royal princes AMI
pFincesses OF the old world are large
owners of real estate in Shis country,
the late Queen Victoria and Empress
Eugene in particular, being credited
with exceptionally extensive holdings
of building property in New York and
Chicago.
This is a mistake.
But Nat is true is that these royal
persona es have large investments in
American railroads and mining stocks,
and in United States government
bonds,
Emperor William has about 100000
invested in Union and Southern Pa
cific, Illinois Central AtchisOn, Topeka
and other American railroad bonds.
His wife's private investments in rail
road stocks here amount to 100000,
while the other members of the royal
Henry, Prince Albert, Prince Leopold
and the widowed Empress Frederick
are represented in American railroad
companies by another $1,000 000
The car has S6,000,000 wO- n of stock
in the Pennsylvania railroad, the New
Jersey Central. the New York Central,
the Canadian Pacific and the Northern
Pacific, which yield him handsome re
turns, the investments having been
made on the advice of his minister Of
railroads, Prince Hilkoff.
HilkOff was ruined as a young officer
of the guards at st. Petersburg, came
to America, and securing work on the
New York Central as a brakeman,
gradually worked his way up until the
death of rich relatives and the inherit
ance of large estates enabled him to
return to Russia and to turn to good
account in the service of the car the
practical experience of TailrOading
which he had obtained in the United
States.
The queen regent of Spain has for a
number of years held some $4,000, 600
worth of United States bonds, and re
tanned possession thereof throughout
! the war of Spain with this country.
I They are deposited with the remainder
of her holdings of one kind and an
other in the Bank of England, where
so many continental sOVereigDs are il
the habit of keeping their savings for
safety.
Queen Victoria, on the other hand
derived an income of no less than
S700, 000 a year from her American in
Vestments. being an extensive hS der OF
American Sugar Refinery stock, Of
American Steel & Wire company stock
as we'll as of the paper of the Tennes-
see Coke &, Iron company. Her rail-
road company holdings were likewise
very large, whereas her real estate pos
sessions in New York do not exceed
half a dozen houses all told.
King Oscar of Sweden has money in
American breweries, while the new
king of Italy has probably inherited
his fathers large tobacco interests
ho-e
But the sovereign who has undoubt-
edly derived the largest fortune of the
United States is King George of Greece
who. when he was elected to the Hell
lenic throne, was a penniless 'midship-
man in the English navy.
Today King George. possesses one OF
the largest fortunes Of any crowned
head in Europe. He derived il from
bold and successful speculation IN
American grain, chiefly at Chicago
during the war of Russia and Turkey
some three and twenty years ago.

close them up. When it comes to
smashing them, however, Mrs. Nation
has no more legal right TO attack them
with an axe than she has to constitute
herself judge and jury and attack any
