The Wealth of the Presidents.

It is generally supposed that the wealth possessed by MT. Roosevelt- most of it inherited-amounts to about one million dollars. If this estimate is correct, he is by far the richest pres ident the country has ever had. with the exception of Washington.
 The Father of his Country was the wealthiest man in the United States at the time of his death. He left all estate valued at SS0O,OO
 John Adams left about s75. 1000; Jef- ferson died so poor that he would have been a pauper had not congress purchased his library for S20,0O0; Madison left about S15O,0OO; Monroe died poor and was buried at the ex- pense of relatives; John Quincy Ad- ans left about $55,OOO at his death; Jackson about $SO.OOO; Van Buren, s4OO.OOO: Polk. S150.O0O; Taylor, s15O,- 900; Tyler married a woman of wealth; Fillmore left $2O0,O 0,OOO; Pierce, s5O,OOO; Buchanan, s20O.0O0; Lincoln, $75,OOOs Johnson, $5O.OOO; Grant lost his wealth in the Grant 6, Ward fail ure; Hayes, Garfield and Harrison were all moderately we'll off, and Cleveland's fortune is probably larger McKinley's fortune was not over $6O,- 900.

The Chinese practice of paying debts at New Years makes that a trying season for the Chinese banks. "The banking business in China is hazard ous at best" writes Consul George E. Anderson CHangchau), "and when the pressure of a custom like that sur rounding the New Year comes it takes sHillfuI management to keep a concern going and at the same time make money. The business of China gener- ally is subjected at all times to drains and tolls, 10 discounts and exchange charges on the part of banks. which would not be tolerated in other coun- tries. and this trouble. as we'll as the financial distress which surrounds the Chinese New Year. will not be done away with until the empire has mon etary system which will make ruinous discounts between varieties of money impossible and which will allow the augmentation of the actual metallic monetary volume in the nation with paper currency of sort now impossi- ble. One of the chief anxieties of bus mess people in some of the larger cit ies of China at the close of the year is to weed out of their collections notes of native banks which are ex- pected to fail"

The Amazing Cost of Modern War

An article by Charles J. Bullock in the current Atlantic Monthly presents in graphic form an exhibit of the ter rife cost which is entafIed by a mod ern war.
 In 1889 the debt of England was about one million dollars. By 1713 the wars of the Palatinate and the Span ish succession had raised it to S215,- 000,000. The Seven Years war raised it to S695.OOO.OOO and the downfall of Napoleon brought it to $4,3SO 900, 900.
 The interest on war debt alone then cost sixteen times as much as the whole national expenses in the time of William and Mary. Everything was taxed.
 Necker's budget just before the rev olution in France called for an annual expenditure of nearly a hundred mil lions. Of every dollar raised 80 cents went for war costs. 12 cents for pen sions and the royal family. four cents for courts and administration and four more for public works, education and religion!
 Thirty years of armed peace in Eu- rope show these figures. in millions of dollars. as the three greatest war bud gets:

attention to the fact that whenever the Standard Oil man made a contribution to help any cause. by the donors own desire the benefaction was widely ad- vertised. Pueri,e as the argument was it is one that obtains with many men who believe that the left hand should not know what the right hand does in the way of charity. MT. Carnegie in a recent public utterance touched upon this very question. 'It is not" he said, what I am able to give, but what I am able to induce others to give which does the real good I seek to accomplish"
 That men are initiative may be no proof of a simian descent but the fact that they are initiative has to be recl1- oned with by those who have the pro- gress of the race close at heart. Pub lished benefactions invariably cause a wave of philanthropy to sweep over the country. Some of these philan- thro2ies are Initiative efforts merely; others are the result of an awakened interest in the lives of the masses. Ev- cry one of them adds tenfold to the value O. the original benefaction. Van ity may inspire man to give publicly, but whatever the motive-and it Is absurd to believe that it is always so petty . one-it is public philanthropy that accomplishes the most general

Carnegie Wisdom.

There are many people who honestly believe that they could improve upon Andrew Carnegie's method of assisting progress if they were given his oppor- tunity. Many are convinced that H- braries are not the country's most pressing need. Nevertheless when this man who disclaims the title of phil anthropist chooses to speak out In meeting he is respectfully listened to not merely because he happens to be who he is but because plenty of Scotch American common sense gen orally underlies his remarks.

Prisoner Chagrined to Learn That

PITTSBURG, Pa, Oct. 21.-Edward
G. Cunliffe, who committed the $1O1,-
600 theft from the Adams Express COM
pany and who was captured Thurs
day at Bridgeport, Conn, is thoroughly
exhausted today. Upon his arrival
from the east last evening he was i'm
mediately taken to the local office of
the Pinkerton agency, where he was
put through process of sweating by
the officials that lasted until 4:30
o'clock this morning. Cunliffe later was
later lodged in a cell at the central
police station, where he quickly re-
moved his coat, and, making a pillow
of it. was soon asleep. Several news
paper reporters were permitted to visit
Cunliffe today
Il suppose you had a strenuous time
Cunliffe," was suggested.
Yes" he replied. I'VE left Bridge
port early yesterday morning and trav-
eled all day. Then the Pinkertons put
me through a terrible racking, lasting
about eight hours
Cunliffe said he was tired out
Notwithstanding the severe examina-
tions given Cunliffe by the officers. it
is said no additional admissions were
secured from him. The prisoner was
exceedingly irrtated when told that
nearly $4,000 more of the money was
found wrapped in a laundry package
in Bridgeport. 1t is believed he will
remain stubborn about the remaining
$11, 200 and will reveal it's location only
when he is assured of clemency by the
court.
Rumors of ill-treatment said to have
been accorded Cunliffe during the
third degree" process are persistent
While it was known food was taken
into the examination room about 2
o'clock this morning, it is not known
that Cunliffe partook of it. One
important requisite of the third de-
gree" system Is that of eating food be-
fore a hungry prisoner.

SHERIFF WATCHES HOTEL
Attachment on Lincoln Is Released,
Then Filled Agaln-W. C. Mushet
Demands Accounting

The Lincoln hotel on South Hill
street, regarding which there has been
bitter contention recently, was con-
Quoted last night under the watchful
eye of a deputy sheriff.
An attachment against the hotel was
file Oct. 19 and released on the goth
and again fled yesterday by w. c.
Mushet of the wholesalers board OF
trade, who alleges that proper ac-
counting has not been made by Mrs
Belle McWilliams, who bought the
hotel last June from w. D. Mont
gomery.
After Montgomery sold the hotel in
June he was confined in the county
hospital on the charge of insanity. La
ter he was released, but the affairs of
the hotel have not yet been straight
ened out. Montgomery sold the hotel
patronage and furnishings to Mrs. Nc
Williams for $800O The wholesalers
board of trade. which represented
Montgomery's creditors, was not salts
fed and the case was carried to the
federal courts.
An effort was made to serve the at
tachment papers on Mrs. McWilliams
yesterday, but according to the at
torneys and officers, she could not be
found. In the meantime the Lincoln
hotel is being watched by the sheriff s
deputies, who will prevent any furni-
ture being taken away until the case
is settled.

PRESIDENT ENTERTAINED
BY FLORIDA CITIZENS
HE RECEIVES HEARTY WELCOME
AT JACKSONVILLE
Delivers Address at the Seminole Club
on "Good citizenship" and
Speaks Briefly at Negro
Academy
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Oct. 21.-The
reception to President Roosevelt today
was a hearty one. Thousands throng-
ed the streets on his line of march and
the president showed in his manner his
appreciation Of the good will that was
manifested on every side. So far as
comfort was concerned, the day was
IDEAL cool wind had begun to blow
the night before his arrival and 1t gave
temperature that no one could call
too warm or too cold.
After driving through the principal
streets the president was taken to the
Seminole club, where he made a brief
address on Good citizenship" He
was then driven to the Jacksonville
board of trade auditorium where lun-
cheon was served. After luncheon the
president delivered an address.
After luncheon President Roosevelt
was driven to the Negro Baptist acad-
emY where he spoke briefly. Preceding
his speech there was a brief ceremony
in the assembly hall, in which the stu
dents participated. This consisted of
the singing of number of songs es-
pecially written for the occasion. The
last one, entitled You Are All Right,
Teddy" caused the president to smile
broadly.
The president was then conducted to
stand in front of the academy where
he made his speech. He said, in part:
Every good American must be inter-
ested in seeing every other good Amer
lean citizen rise and help himself up
ward, so as to be better able to do his
duty by himself and those dependent
upon him and by the state at large.
1T seems to me that it is true of all
Of US that our duties are even more i'm
portant than our rights. II we do our
duty faithfully, in spite of the differ
ences that come, then sooner or later
the rights will take care of themselves.
What I say to this body of my colored
felloW-citizens is just what 1 would say
to any body of white fellow citizens.
What we need in this country is typi-
fled by what I have been shown today
as having been done by your race in
morality and industry. We need IN
telligence, clean living and the power to
work hard and effectively"
