to them are hosts OF new ones #thAt

negie shows mighty good sense In
keeping out of that ruck, and spend
ing his money upon useful things.
The new millionaires arc often dis
tinguished by inability to understand
that there are things that money will
not buy. A newly rich man who was
a year ago prominent in disgraceful
scandals that made his name Kissing
and a byword throughout the country
was being pounded" very heavily by
the newspapers. He offered reporter
upon one of the city papers several
thousands in hard cisn to "let up on
him. I presume the man had sufficient
low cunning to realize that the re-
porter alone could not nluzzle news
paper, and relied upon him to divide
farther up" The man of millions
and no morals was genuinely surprised
when the newspaper man directed him
to warmer climate. One reason for
the so-called yellow" sheets is that
there is an instinct among the people
that they are not influenced by any
extraneous pull" Any one who at
tempts to bride New York newspaper
to vicious course or cause might ask
himself what bribe would be sufficient
to induce even a constituencies pro-
prietor to half-ruin a property worth
from s5,000.000 to $10,O00,000 upon it's
good repute alone.

Byrnes belonged to the Aleck Will

started the Equitable row? The
rumor, due likely to the prominence
Of E. H. Hartman in the society, that
Standard Oil men were trying to buy
the Hyde holdings, which controlled
the great company. Hartman is the
Standard Oils hired man in railroad
management; he is a director in IS
Sreat financial companies. The pos
sibility that Mr.. Rockefeller, by merely
buying at whatever price $4,000 in
shares OF the society, could control the
investment of nearly $500,000,000 Of it's
money assets, was startling enough.
The price quoted varied from $5,OOO,-
900 to $10,000,000 for this little batch
OF stock limited to Z per cent in
come. That price measures the value
OF the privilege of investing the as
sets, Of being able to buy Smiths
bonds and turn down Jones', when
both Smiths and Jones' are equally
good.
No one doubts that the investment
OF assets has been III the main con-
servative. Anyone is at liberty to go
over the list of investments in the
published reports. He will find few
such items as the bonds of Mr.. Nor
gan's shipping trust held at par by one
life insurance company, but in the
main the assets are above par in
value.
That's not altogether the point
There is law proposed in Albany
now to forbid any director of finan-
cial corporation taking tip or fee
for granting loan Or buying bonds
You wouldn't think such a law was
necessary? Well, it is. The German
bank in Buffalo was wrecked by alb
sence of such law.

spent upon his fancy dress ball from
one to two years OF his fathers salary
as president Of the Equitable. The
general belief is that he could afford
it. But not, surely. on his own smaller
salary. And upon the stock in the
society that the Hyde family owns the
income is limited to per cent, less
than $4,000 in all. Fortunate invest
ments' must in some form account for
the vast wealth which the young man
inhcrits and uses in the main so we'll
For he is no ordinary roysterer. but a
student and lover OF books and read

French actress, comes naturally bv
way of his intimate knowledge of the

Hyde intends to build her theater
