that she owes her riches very largely to her own business acumen.
 Mrs. King has a fair and formidable rival in Mrs. Nat Collins, known throughout America as the Cattle Queen of Montana" Mrs. Collins has had a career of romance and adventure such as even she would not care to re- peat. From childhood she has lived her strenuous life on the plains and in the mountains of Montana; she has been kidnapped by Indians and kept a pris- oner for months by them, and she still bears an ugly scar as a memento of a too-well-aimed tomahawk.
 In later life she acted as cook and scout for frelghting train, and spent years travelling between Denver and the Missouri river. Hardly a day passed" she says, without an Indian fight, for the savages were constantly sweeping down on the trains and kill ing the freighters or driving away the stock; while at times the buffalo were so thick that we would be compelled to stop our train and shoot among them to drive them away" About twenty years ago Mrs. Collins took to cattle rearing and dealing, and, although she is said to have amassed millions, she still personally conducts her train loads of cattle from Montana to Chicago.
 Mrs. Hetty Green is said to make an annual income of little less than f1,- 000,000 by her clever dealings in stocks and shares. Some years ago her for tune was estimated at 210,000.000, and yet this remarkable woman works longer hours and harder in her office than any lady clerk, travels to and fro for a few pence daily. does her own modest marketing and cooking, and leads generally as Spartan life as if

 Russia boasts a splendid business woman In Mime. Woleska, who Is mis- tress of hundreds of thousands of acres of land and score of villages and small towns. Every day she devotes several hours to the personal supervi- sion of her vast estates and in confer ence with her hundred agents, while no petty detail relating to a cottage or farm is too small for her attention.
 Sonora Cousino, who owns vast estates in South America, and whose fortune Is said to exceed G40000, ,000, Is another woman whose millions are allied to great business gifts. The senora, who inherited great wealth from her father, has added enormously to 1t by her slSillful management of her possessions; in fact, so shrewd and clever Is she that the late Jay Gould declared that if she liked she might amass wealth compared with which the fortune of the richest man millionaire would seem poverty.
 Among other lady owners of millions who have exhibited a wonderful capac- ity in managing and adding to them are school girl in a Guatemala convent was wooed and won by President Barrios, and whose fortune is roughly 23,000.- 000 and Miss Mary Garrett of Balti- more, who has made herself more be- loved by her charity than envied for her couple of millions sterling.

Genius Bad at Flaures.

Letter in London Telegraph.
 I know an eminent Greek professor who could not reckon his class fees. Fara- day had I believe, no gift for mathe- matics. Darwin declared that he never understood an equation. I question if Isaac Newton could have passed an exam, in literary or aesthetic subjects with his Idea that poetry was ingenious nonsense and statuary only stone dolls. It Is a moot question If Napoleon Bon eparte would have passed a matric Tn French. I shrewdly suspect that neither Bonaparte nor Wellington would shine in military academy examination.

The baby famine of the town of Marks boro. N. J.. has been brolkne at last. For seven years not birth had been recorded there until eight days ago when a bouncing baby girl was born to Mrs. Milton R. Garrison. The only regret of the people of Marksboro Is that Mrs. Gar rison Is not resident of the town. She lives in Trenton and was visiting in Marksboro when the interesting event oc- cured. By some 1t Is said that there was a conspiracy to break the towns baby famine and that Mrs. Garrson's mother. who Is affectionatey known as Grandma" Shotwell, was the chief con- spirator. In any event it Is known that Mrs. Garrison was not anxious to visit Marksboro at this time and only did so after "Grandma' Shotwell paid several visits to Trenton to urge here. Here is MarlSsboro's story told in figures.

 One hears so much and so exclusive ly of male millionaires that one is apt to lose sight of the fact that men have no monopoly of million making, and that there are many women who are no mean rivals to them in the art of amassing riches.
 Quite recently Mrs. Herman Oelrichs, who is said to be the smartest and shrewdest business woman in the world, has, so they say, been coining money at the rate of e2,000.0 900 year by clever speculation in railway shares. Mrs. Oelrichs is a daughter of the late Senator Fair, from whom no doubt she has inherited her talent for making money. Only two years ago she re- voked the power of attorney given to her husband and took the management of her affairs into her own hands, she sold out all her real estate holdings in San Francisco went to New York, and, while eclipsing her rivals in lavish and original entertainments, has found time to make the satisfactory income of nearly $1,000,000 month.
 Another over-the-water lady huSsfer is Mrs. Richard King, who for many a year has conducted a ranch seven times as large as the county of Middle sex as very few men living could con duct 1t. So extensive is Mrs. Kings farm that it Is bounded on one side by forty miles of barbed wire fence; 1t Is an hour and half's drive from Mrs. Kings front door to her front gate; and she employs an army of over three hundred cowboys to tend her 100000 cattle, and the ponies they employ number 1200. Mrs. King has long passed the stage when she could, if need were, sign her name to million pound cheque, and she can proudly say

ton 'cures" that the medical profession Is always skeptleal when a new one Is announced. Here are some of the cures that have been put forward and failed in the last few years:
 First there was Prof. Kochs tuber- culin. It was popularly called "Koch's Lymph" and for a time after the Ger man scientist made public his discovery some Of the most distinguished physi- clans in New York hailed It as an abso- lute cure for consumption. It was tried in the leading hospital for several years and finally was given up, except for diagnostic purposes
 The Koch lymph was followed by serum discovered by two German pro- fessors, which, 1t was said, would render anybody immune to consumption. But 1t did not Then there was the discov- cry of Maher's, of injecting into a con sumptive the bacillus found in tuber- culous milk.
 There was a great stir over the for naldehyde treatment. Formaldehyde Is allied to wood alcohol Three drops of the poison will preserve a forty-quart can of milk. Much also was hoped for the plan of injecting iodoform or Izol, or glycerin or paraffin or yaseline. None or these remedies turned out to be a true specific.
 
 Koch lymph, the greatest excitement was caused among physicians by the extravagant claims of cures of consump- ton wrought by the radioactive emana- tions of one kind or another-X-rays. Roentgen rays, ultra violet rays, radium and thorium.
 None of the hospitals Is now syste- matically treating consumption with any of the radioactive clements, except in conjunction with what has come to be called the rational treatment"
 The new board of health which has made most exhaustive study of the question has found only one treatment effective. That is the one air treatment with plenty of food and rest. Here is the prescription:
 Food-Nourishing and abundant, and adapted to the patient.
 Air-Fresh outside air preferably air at an altitude, to be breathed in the open, twenty-four hours day.
 REST-Absolute rest. free from muscu- lar exertion.

Mir. cowan's Dream.

Joseph T. Cowan of Dallas Tex, who Is still busy here laying claim to a con siderable slice of the most valuable part of Manhattan island, solemnly ayers that he has received an offer of s1S5, 900. GOO, for the interests he represents. but that he is holding out for an offer of an even quarter of a billion No one could be found in real estate or financial circles who had heard of the alleged offer. MT Cowan when pressed for information, declared in a pained way that It would be most indiscreet and most prejudicial to the interests of the 300 heirs he says he represents to divulge details. Wall street men, who have heard of claimants before for great slices of New York real estate say that 1t would not be wise for the supposed heirs in Birmingham or other places to make any bills which they expect to pay with money realized through MT. Cowan's claim. This letter sent by Mir. Cowan to one of the heirs should ex- plain at least one important purpose of the scheme:
 Dear Sir: You have undoubtedly read in the papers the progress I am making in settling up the Hartsfeld estate here.
 ''I have had an offer from g. syndicate of Wall street financiers to sell out my interest and those I represent, but as yet the offer is not large enough, and I am
 
 T need money to meet the great ex- pense am at here. and as don't want any legitimate heir to lose his interest, and as don't feel 1t my duty to interest mycelf in those who have not assisted me in this investigation, am giving each an opportunity to chip in before 1t ia too late. 'If you wish to have me recognize you as an heir. you will remit me by tele- graph, If possible, if not, by P. O. money order. s25 immediately. There Is no time for delay. If I sell out my interest and those represent to syndicate. which [ have the authority to do. being one of the principal heirs and the one who has all the papers and who has done all the work, 1t will be impossible for those left out ever to secure anything from the syndicate.
 Hoping will receive telegraph or money order for the amount at once and have you counted in as one of the bene- hciarfes when settled. remain yourQ sincerely, JOSEPH T. CONAN"
 Mir. Cowan blushed when asked about this letter and said that he thought as he had spent s10oo0 himself in prose- cutting the claim 1t was nothing more

Searching for Diamonds In America.

David Draper, who discovered the great mines at Pretoria, South Africa, Is in the United States searching for diamond de- posits. His quest will begin ih Kentucky and if he fails then he will next try North Carolina. Diamond experts of this city see no reason why Mir. Draper should not sue ceed Diamonds have been found in the United States In twenty or more local- ties and nine states-Alabama, Indiana, Kentucky Missouri, Michigan. Ohio. Georgia, North Carolina and California. In every instance the gems have been iso- lated and their sources have never been discovered. But this does not discourage MT. Draper.
 My presence In this country" said he, 'is proof positive of my belief that there are rich deposits of damnds here. Every indication points that way"
 The first diamond found in America was discovered in Indiana in 1887. It was pure white and weighed about two karats after cutting. It is now in the possession of Dan Beard, who secured 1t from an uncle. Then there was the Dewey dia- In the rough. This stone was discovered in 1854. A sixteen-karat stone found in Southern Wisconsin Is now in the J. Pier pont Morgan collection in the Museum of Natural History. There Is another fine stone in this collection which was found in Alabama. If diamonds are found in this country the tariff on precious stones will become interesting There Is high protective tariff on cut stones, but no tariff on diamonds in the rough Strange 1t may seem. experts say that no matter how many mines are found the price of diamonds will not decrease.

The Millionaire Photographers.

An odd gathering was in session in New York this week. It v'as the reunion of a lot of men who began at the telegraph key and are now worth millions. Some of them are Recorder Golf of the crimi- nal courts, Andrew Carnegie who, in the intervals of shoveling coal as fireman in an engine room in small town in Penn sylvania, learned telegraphy and got a job at the railroad station there; Thomas A. Edison. who got his love of electri- city while working as an operator; John c. Barclay, general manager of the Wes- tern Union Telegraph, company; W. C.. Brown, vice presdent of the New York Central railroad; Assistant Postmaster General P. V. De Graw; Levi Weir, pres ident of the Adams Express company; Robert c. Clowry, president of the Wes- tern Union, and T. c. EelSert, now a re- tired multi-millionaire. These men used to make SIP, 15 and s20 a week. Some got as much as $25
 The late Jay Gould thought a knowl- edge of telegraphy necessary to the thorough understanding of the railroad business and had his sons George, Ed win, Howard and Frank learn 1t. They are all expert telegraphers, but of course never had to earn their living at the key.
