THE MAN ON HORSEBACK.
[Courier-J Journal

The Courier Journal reprints from

illustrate newspaper tendency to split
hairs over immaterial details and to

Capitalization Of Wealth.

According to an estimate recently
published by the New York Herald
there are 1898 millionaires in the
United States, owning real and per-
sona1 property to the aggregate value
of $16, 600, 900, 000. This is an amount
equal to about S21O. 90 for every man,
woman and child in the country. The
entire wealth of the United States is
put at $S1, 900, 600, 600. These mil
lionaires it will thus be seen, own
about one-tifth of all the wealth.
