SAVINGS OF PRESIDENTS.
Not Many of Them Have AccumuIat.
 ed Any Considerable Fortune.

From Leslie's Weekly.
 The country has read with much satis- faction that the late President Mckinley during his lifetime of hard work and in- cessant activity to leave for the support of those dependent upon him. The amount Is small gauged by modern standards of wealth, and particularly so in compari- son with the fortunes accumulated by many persons of less industry, ability and real worth in mercantile and indus trial pursuits.
 The sum mentioned is much higher than the average of the umulations of our chief magistrates Several of these have died poor and insolvent. Some through an apparent lack of saving habits and others through misfortunes in business. Among them were James Monroe, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Andrew Johnson and General Grant. Jefferson owned a large estate in Virginia and other property at one time, but lost it all and died comparatively poor. Johnson was rated to be worth $15O00O when his presidential term expired, but he lost nearly all of it through the failure of the Freedmans bank.
 The ilIustrious statesman who was first in war, first in peace,'' etc., was also the first of our presidents in point of wealth, considering the purchasing power of the standard currency of his day At his death Washington's estate was valued at $300,000. President Arthuss wealth was estimated at $400,000, but he would hardly be considered as rich a man as Washing ton for all this difference. Buchanan ranks pretty high in this regard, with a fortune amounting to sz5O,OOO, which he left to nieces and nephews. Mrs Polk was left with about s150, 900. and Mrs. Gar field $40,00O. Martin Van Buren helped to bring up the average with the handsome sum of $500, 900, which he contrived to save from business investments, but no from his salary as President. James Tyler left the White House as he went into it-a comparatively poor man, but with enough to live in comfort.
 The same might be said of John Adams and also of Willard Fillmore but the lat ter became wealthy through a second marriage Franklin Pierces property was valued at s50,000, and he left no one to inherit it. Madison was accounted rich among the men of his day, but his money was squandered by Mrs. Madisons son, Payne Todd, and the widow became a poor woman. How much Grover Cleveland had managed to accumulate at the end of his second term no one really knows. He is now estimated to be worth about a quarter of million. These facts speak volumes in favor of the sterling honesty of men conspicuous in American public life.

SOCIETY WOMAN
 SHOT BY BURGLAR
HARRIET p. MURPHY, PROMINENT IN CHURCH AND SOCIAL WORK. MURDERED IN HER HOME AT PITTsRuRc.

Pittsburg, December 17.-Harriet P. Murphy, prominent in church and socie- ty circles. and treasurer of the Kings ley House fund, was murdered at her home, 6221 Howe street East End, by a burglar about o'clock this morning. The murderer made his escape, and al- though all the detective and police force of that section was called, the man has not been captured.
 Miss Murphy, with her brother, Se- leet Councilman John A. Murphy, and two servants, women, lived in the house. Miss Murphy sleeping on the second floor. She was an expert with the re- voIver, having practiced many years for the purpose of protecting herself in the event of such an attack as happened this morning
 About o'clock this morning her broth CT was awakened by two shots, and has, tening to his sisters room, found her lying dead on the floor with a bullet wound in the head The burglar scaled the porch posts and entered the window of Miss Murphy's room. It is supposed that the noise of the crashing glass awakened her, and as she jumped rom the bed with her revolver in her hand the man fired. Marks in the snow on the porch roof indicated that only one man entered the room.
 When the police raised Miss Murphy they found the revolver within few inches of her right hand under the folds of her night dress. The room in which the duel took place was pitch dark, and the police think that the burglar aimed at the flash of Miss Murphy's revolver. The falling of Miss Murphy's body is thought to have scared the thief away before he had time for stealing anything. Nothing of any value was missing The police think the burglar was a negro and at noon claimed to have good clue.
