There was once a man who was deaf
and dumb, and in consequence had diff
flculty in earning enough to support
himself. As often occurs, those who are
deprived Of one sense have another in
an uusual degree. This was the case
with this man. He had q sense Of smell
so remarkable that he became an ex.
pert in detecting the presence Of oil
wells. His nose was purchased by q big
company NATURALLY the man himself
went along with his nose) and he man

trol.ed by him at more than $5.OO0,-

Fifteen years ago the guesses on this
subject, based on the most trustworthy
Information available, placed the
amount of Mr. Rockefeller's wealth at
$500 900, 900. In the Intervening period
the figures have been increased until

tripled without any exaggeration.>

ago, according to one Of that trusts

amounted to more than $150,000, with
Isan income from it of $4,000, 1000. This
statement had reference to his oil In

fore the great increase in prices in

Baroness Won Fersen has arrived in
New York from Russia. She. was met
by her son, Baron Won Fersen, and his
wife. The baroness brought with her
a small turtle which she carries with
her constantly She was reluctant to
show her pet, which was protected in

CHRISTMAS MAIL.
Records Broken This Year by an
Avalanche of Gifts.

An avalanche Of parcelcd happiness
tumbling down upon Uncle Sans mail
distributors during the week preceding
Christmas nearly buried the service past
all recovery. In New York City several
clerks were made seriously i'll by over
work during long hours, and no doubt
like conditions prevailed elsewhere.
In the field of foreign mail alone the
pressure has been so great as to break
all former records. The Etruria brought
into New York the heaviest Christmas
mail ever landed at that port. She had
$500 bags and "a packages of parcels
post. The mail steamer was obliged to
make two trips down the bay to remove
the mails. The st. Paul brought 1907
sacks of Christmas mails.
The American liner PHILADELPHIA car
ried out 1926 bags Of Christmas mail.
1t was the largest dispatch of mail in
the history of the port. In fourteen
days outgoing steamers have carried
away 81, 142, 600. The Philadelphia took
the great bulk of Christmas money sent
by emigrants to the ''old folk" 1t had
G0,331 international money orders,
amounting to $7S5,4O5.

er part being billed to Ireland. More
than $01 900 went to Italy, and nearly
$4,000 to Germany. Sweden got near.
ly as much, while 100000 went to Rus

the Netherlands S1,G65, Switzerland $6,-

/ All this is but brief mention of a
little bit that has been going on in one
locality. All around us similar work
has been carried forward in varying de-
grees. 1t is safe to predict that IL ono

PANIC RULES RUSSIA.
GENERAL STRIKE LAUNCHED
AND WORST IS EXPECTED.
Trnmc Is Pnrnlyxcd md Armed Re-
volt sprends-Burning Palaces
Light shores of Baltic for Forty
MiIcs-Mutinecrs Burned.

The gloom which has settled over
Russia is the deepest the country has
ever known, and the outlook the most
desperate. The palaces of the nobility
are blazing from st. Petersburg to
Odessa, and the mutilated bodies of
the partisans of the Emperor fill the
bitches Of country roads and the gut
ters Of the streets of the rebellious
cities. Mobiles who have been able to
escape the vengeance of the peasants
in the country and the proletarint In
the town are fleeing to the frontiers,
leaving memorial halls and wide es-
tates as loot for the now fully aroused
people.
The memory OF centuries of oppres-
sion seems to stir the masses to mas
sacrcs of the most revolving cruelty.
Believing that each blow struck the
nobility reaches the despotic govern
ment, the peasants are striking deep
and sure. On all the snowy reaches
around Riga mobiles have been slain
by scores, their bodies thrown to the
vultures, and their ancient castles
made scenes of orgies OF drunken
peasants. The lands of the richest es-
tates are divided among the men who
drive away or kill the former owner.
Sailors on the Baltic Sea declare
that the coast of Livonia for forty
miles north of Riga is lit with the
flames of burning estates. In Riga
hotels down to the meanest lodging
houses are crowded with persons who
bear the highest names in Russia,
who have been glad to escape from
the infuriated mObs with their lives,
leaving all their property in the hands
Of the revolutionists.
From all other portions of the I'M
happy empire come reports as awful.
Wherever the flag of revolution Is
reared even the soldiers sworn to
serve the Car flock around it. In
yladivostok the most terrible cruelties
are being perpetrated alternately by
the lOyalists and the mutineers, which
ever has the upper hand at the time.
Three times has the city of Takum,
in Courland, changed hands, each time
after desperately fought battle be-
tween the troops and the newly formed
provisional government.
st. Petersburg strike starts.
The general strike started in st.
Petersburg very tamely. In the CEN
ter of the city the shops We're not
closed, the proprietors having received
guarantees that If they remained open
they would be given ample protection
and that any deputation of strikers
