NOT so MANY MILLIoNAIREs
The Number Generally Supposed to
Exist in the World Is Greatly
Overestimated.

There is great Misrepresentation as
to the number of millionaires in New
York and in the world. Chauncey M.
Depew said recently that there were
100000 millionaires in the United
States. According to great CONNER
ciai agency. which is probably nearer
right, there are only 1000. The Nnan-
cial Red Book, most carefully COM
piled publication, gives the names Of
practically all the persons in the
United States who are supposed to be
worth more than 100000. And there
are only $1,000 names on the list. No
claim is made that the name Of every
person worth that amount or more ts
given, but the proportion Of those left
out is extremely small, for most ex-
haustive investigation has been made.
In the last few years there has been
marked tendency among men Of wealth
to conceal the amount of their world
ay possessions. The first incentive in
this respect is the vulgar prominence
given to the man that has lots Of
money. There are other reasons men
have for suppressing knowledge of the
amount OF their wealth. Some wish
to avoid heavy taxation and give false
returns. Another man may have made
his money in business not uncom-
monty supposed to be especially lucra-
tive. and lie doesn't care to have his
affluence blazoned forth to arouse COM
petition.

A woman boarded his car at the ceme-

She had not been in the car long when
two women took seats opposite her. One
of them seemed to recognize the woman
from the cametery, hesitated for mo-
msnt, then crossed the aisle and spoke to
her. The sobbing one looked UP and tbs

had crossed the aisle, where have you

broken answer, land I'm just after Gre

!. Condolences were offered and the
widow soon afterwards left the car, ap-
parertly cheered, while her friend re-

and told all that Mary had unbosemed to
her.

OFFICIAL PAPER OF COUNTY
WHEN CHICAGO WAS YOUNG
What the Present Great Metropolis
Looked Like to Visitor
in 1850.

I IN his book, 1.-THE Him." Col. CLARK
=. Carr tells how Chicago appeared to
him in 1850 when he reached it after
trip up the lakes from his home in New
York state: 1T was low and fiat; the
buildings were small and beyond them
there was nothing to relieve the eye
but more fiat land. AS we entered the
barrow river, which is the harbor, we
could see muddy streets, along which
were SUGGESTIONS of small frame build
ings, with few of brick, and no two
of them of the same height, with broad
sidewalks on such different levels that
pedestrians in walking single DOCK
were obliged to ascend and descend
stairways a dozen or more times. Inc
plank street crossings were covered Wild
mud and only seemed to keep the 1ool
passengers from sinking out OF sight.
Chicago seemed to me only transmits
sion city, place of meeting and separat'
ing, of hail and farewell.
While wandering along he saw Lone
John" Wentworth. AS l was looking
down Dearborn street l saw approach
ing us in the distance what appeared
to be a giant. He walked few steps
upon level with us on the sidewalk,
then descended, his legs, his body and
finally his head disappearing; then his
head and body reappeared, but not his
legs. He descended again, and again
rose, revealing his whole great frame
and again descended till lost to view,
and so appeared and disappeared until
finally he came up the steps to where We
were.
He was simply walking the street
toward us up and down stairs, on Chi.
cago sidewalk as then constructed. He
stopped before us and looked at us with
smile and then grimace. He had a
way of drawing back the corners OF his
big mouth, giving him fierce look.
and then relaxing the muscles of his
face into grin He stood six feet and
six inches in his stockings"

ProAt In Poultry.

Few people realize what enormous
quantities of poultry and eggs are con-
sumed or how rapidly modern methods
are rerolutionizing the poultry BUSH
ness. Not many years ago there was
not large poultry farm in existence,
and no one believed exclusive poultry
farming could be made to pay, but to-
day there are many large poultry farms
WHICH are giving a good account Of
themselves, and It is difficult for one to
say what the limit is to the size Of q
poultry farm OF the wonderful i'm
pr9vements IN methods of handling
and selling. It is certain that the Amer

WOULD MAKE SUGAR.
IN MEXICO PLAN
TO USE MAaUEY SAP.
Latter Is Source Of Pulque, the Popu-
lar Native Drink-Great Diff
Guilty Which the Inventors
Must Overcome.

City of Mexico, Mexico.-Two Ameri-
cans in this city, one a railroader and
the other a chemist, are evolving a
scheme to make sugar from the maguey
sap, which produces the yeasty stun
called pulque.
PulQue, ever since its discovery in this
country nearly IL years ago, has been a
curse of Mexico. Some physicians think
it is good for kidney disease, but that is
the only aspect OF good 1t has if its cura-
tive properties be conceded.
Should the inventors succeed in max
ing sugar from the pulque plant, they
will aid the temperance movement by
turning the sap into safer commercial
channels, or at least cause the pulque
beverage to rise in price and thus per-
haps curtail it's use by the poor of Mex
leo.
Compared with the sugar production
of the United States, that of Mexico is
small, and 1t would be singular if the
product of this country should originate
from anything but cane.
The production in the northern repub-
lie is 10000, 900 pounds year, while in
Mexico it cannot pass 10000, 900 pounds.
OF less than two pounds a year per
capita.
Deducting the exported sugars of
Mexico, and adding the imported article.
the consumption Of the home article in
Mexico is about five pounds per capita.
The same difficulty besets pulque and
the cane PRODUCTIVE necessity for the
manufacture of the sugar before the
cane or sap turns sour. The milk of the
maguey, 1t is said, will not stay good
longer than "a hours, but the inventors
declare they can produce white, pure
sugar.
Tomassda Asada, chief of the bureau
of sugar industry in Formosa. is in Mex
leo, looking into the sugar production OF
the country to ascertain whether Mex
| leo can export some of her product to
Japan where it Is needed. 1t is said the
| Mexican article is richer in saccharine
| qualities than that of the United States
| Mr. Asada, before coming here, visited
Hawaii, Cuba and points in the United
States. When he finishes his errand
here he will go to South America.
Mr.. Asada says that Formosa is the
only sugar producing region under the
Japanese flag, and about 40 years age
was one of the leading producers In the
world, but production declined, owing
to the system of government bountiei
paid in Germany and other lands on bee,
M
sumption in Japan is about IL pounds Z
year, but the output is only about one.
