FORTUNES IN ALL RANKS.
of Persons Possessed of Wealth
in the Millions.

What is a fortune? Fifty thousand
dollars, 500, 900 or $500, 900? 1t has
been estimated that the capital of the
nation, If equally distributed, would
give to every person in the united
Kingdom, including women and chill
dren, nearly $1,000, says a London re.
port.
The average income or earnings Df
the whole population-again including
women and c~hildren-has been esti-
mated at $3.50 per head per annum, and
the average annual saving or addition
to capital therefrom at SIS per head.
This last estimate is, perhaps, too high.
A vast number SAVE nothing.
Those who attain the possession Of
$1,000 capital are in a small minority.
Not ten in a hundred of those who die
leave enough to make administration
through the probate registry needful
During the year 1902-1903 the probate
department dealt with 6 1910 estates
with a net capital value of 81, $780, 73,.
307.
There are probably 100 persons II
the united kingdom who have at theii
own absolute disposal over S. 0 0 ,00(
each, and 400 Others who have between
$2.500,OOO and $5,0OO,OOO each There
may be 1000 nor whose wealth is a
present under So, 800, 900, but more thar
s. ,250,0 900, and of those who are now
absolute owners Of estates which in
course of time will be valued for pro-
bate between 100000 and ST. 5O.O OC
each the number is perhaps about
5000.
How have fortunes been made? The
largest estate reported in 1903 is that
Of Samuel Lewis (63), the money lend
err, first valued for probate at 81 ,000,-
900. 1t is said that he began to make
money by peddling jewelry to officers
in barracks. but stories about the orr
gin of fortunes are not always accu-
rate.
The next largest estate of the year
is that of Col. Harry McCalmont. M. p
(41), valued at $40, 900, 900, and perhaps
also to be resworn. He inherited wealth
from his great unsie, Hugh McCalmont,
a merchant who died In 1887, leaving
rye SIS. 900, 900.

BERLIN, March 21.-Emperor VIII

monarchs were cruising about the har-

named the Melton, the two vessels

A twelve-year-old boy fell between
the two vessels and would inevitably
have been crushed but for the inter

Melton was seriously damaged, and It
