POSTAL CARDS AS NEWS.
The Pictured PastUboards Are Put to
New Use in the Brit
ish Isles.

Through the enterprise Of q news
dealer a new use has been found for
the ubiquitous postal card. When the
recent attack of the Baltic feet upon
the Hull trawlers was the news Of the
day this man had an inspiration which
he lost no time in putting into ef-
feet, reports a London paper. Within
"a hours after the damaged vessel had
returned to port. printing machines
were running hundreds of thousands OF
pictorial post cards illustrating the
effect Of the Russian shells upon the
vessels and the fishermen. Street ven
ders were soon out with huge packets
of these cards, which they disposed OF
in no time Every stationeF's shop in
the country soon received its share Of
these cards, though owing to the great
demand they were a week behind the
news. Within a few days more than
100000 OF these cards had been dis
posed Of Such incidents being, as they
are. Of general interest, are veritable
gold mines to the dealers.
Royal visits always make sales for
these cards. When the king and queen
Of Portugal made their recent visit to
England they we're met at every turn
by the all pervasiVe post card bearing
pictures Of them. Some $4,000 was
netted during the tour from the sale
of these cards II Is needless to say
that the success Of most cards demands
that they shall be on sale when the
subjects which they depict are at high
water mark Of interest.

NOT so MANY MILLIoNAIREs
The Number Generally Supposed to
Exist In the World Is Greatly
Overestimated-

There is a great Misrepresentation as
to the number of millionaires In New
York and in the world. Chauncey n.
Depew said recently that there were
100000 millionaires in the United
States. According to a great CONNER
cial agency, which is probably nearer
right, there are only 1000. The Finan-
cial Red Book, a 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 Is 900 names on the list. No
claim is made that the name OF every
person worth that amount or more is
given, but the proportion Of those left
out Is extremely small. for a most ex-
haustive investigation has been made.
In the last few years there has been q
marked tendency among men Of wealth
to conceal the amount Of their world
" 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 a business not uncom-
monty supposed to be especially lucra-
4 tive, and he doesn't care to have his
aniuence bIazoned forth to arouse com.

be fulfilled the fashion will be boon
to many that have found 1t very ex-

every skirt. Although the redingote Is
in vogue, the Elton blouse is not to van

lately shown, the Elton having short
rounded basques and a surplice front.
The surplice is by no means confined to
waists, but will be seen on many spring
