MR.. ROCKEFELLER's MONEY.
Though He Has Much Wealth He

Harpers Weekly.
There are occasional signs of anxiety for
fear that Mr.. John d. Rockefeller will get
all the money there is. Mr.. Rockefeller
has not lately seen fit TO publish his esti-
mate OF the value Of his possessions, but
sanguine guessers rate him nowadays as
pretty nearly a Millionaire, and the most
conservative computors believe he has more
than a half billion. 1t would be impossi-
bic to say what is the total wealth of the
United States. but the assessed valuation
of the several States for 1902 amounted to
about thirty-f1ve billions. Even If Mr.
Rockefeller has a whole billion there is
something left for the rest of us. But his
fortune. they tell US. is probably increas-
ing by as much as fifty millions a year and
Is not unlikely to double within ten years
Already his financial power is enormous
so that he could influence stock values
very materially il he chose. and. at times,
make or unmake ordinary millionaires by
mere whispers at the telephone. Malevo-
lence is not attributed to him, nor is he felt
TO be mischief-maker. but the feeling Is
that his business abilities are so surprising
and his business judgment so unapproach-
ably sound, that he can't help seeing and
