WEALTHY MEN OF COLORADO
The Centennial State Possesses Over
One Hundred Bona-Fide
Millonaires.


Colorado is the state OF vast individual
fortunes. outranking any other state in
the union on a per capita basis. II has
the further distinction that most Of It's
vast fortunes were made within its
boundaries, not alone in mining, but
in the cattle industry. in realty spec
ulation, In fruit, sugar beet culture, po-
iato-farming and in manufacturing
and other mercantile pursuits.
Many people Of wealth have moved
into the state In the last few years and
invested large sums in mining corpora
lions. in the stocks OF banks and other
enterprises, and are not individually
known to the commercial agencies.
Still another class represents the re-
tired country capitalist, who has moved
from the section In which his wealth
was acquired TO Denver Of Colorado
Springs. His Individual holdings. TOO,
unless they are in realty, are necessarily
hidden from the regular commercial in
formation sources.
Who Is the richest man In Colorado?
David Moffat. capitalist. Of Denver. The
most conservative estimate OF $4,000
600 was given by two persons who would
naturally be expected TO exaggerate Mr..
Moffat's wealth On the other hand,
from those nearest him. those who
ought to know and yet would not allow
an exaggerated estimate to be given
out. the estimate was between s25,OO0,-
and s3O,0OO,0OO. giving him an easy lead
in the Colorado list
There are los millionaires, and If TO
these could be added the names Of those
who have left Colorado after making
fortunes. 1t could be easily doubled. The
total wealth Of the 10S millionaires OF
Colorado aggregates about $3.50 1000
There is probably no section OF the world
with a population of less than 100000
that can show such home production Of
wealth.

SMART MEETS SMARTER.
Thought He Knew How to Keep an
Umbrella, But 1t Got
Away.

Into the Jersey City station Of the
Pennsylvania railroad sauntered a
portly man. He wore a chesty look
and carried an umbrella, relates the New
York Times. Advancing to one Of the
benches. he pulled a chain and paddock
from his pocket, ran one end of the
chain through the open handle, and
made the umbrella fast to the seat Then
he said 70 a man sitting there:
i've travelled all over this country
for FIVE years, and know thing or
two"
Then he walked away.
The man who sat there got up. He
had a check suit and a smooth cheek.
He stepped up to the umbrella, pulled a
file from his pocket, rubbed il to and
fro across one of the links in the chain
for a few minutes, loosening the UNI
brella. Then he said to another man:
IF the Teller who is smarter than
chain lightnin' comes back after his
parasol, tell him the chap you saw
a-walkin' off with it never was of the
farm afore"

Electricity for Heat.

The ease and surety with which a
furnace heated electrically is con-
trolled is a point of much importance,
and is sufficient to warrant the great
er expense involved by the use Of this
system. The fact that the furnace is
under perfect control conduces to
efficiency, and this brings the cost of
energy nearer to that of other sys-
TENS. AS to the actual cost, taking 1t
all in all, there is not such a great
disadvantage in the electric system
and one can easily imagine a case
where electricity and gas could be on
a par in this regard.

RUSSIA'S BEAUTY COLONY.
Man of Many Roubles Has Built Up
Community of Physical
Perfection.

At the time OF the Russo-Turkish war
NJ. Reshetnikoff. struck with the inferior,
il-nourished physique Of many recruits,
set aside annually out Of his large for
tune the sum of 10000 rubles for the pur-
pose of eliminating the unfit by encour-
aging marriage only between young peo-
pie Of exceptional beauty, health and in
telligence.
To attain this end. says the London
Chronicle, he employed as workers on
ais estate only the handsomest and
healthiest villagers. These he encour-
aged TO enter upon matrimony by free
grants Of land. payments OF all marriage
fees and an annuity of 80 rubles year
for every child born.
He succeeded in removing from his es-
tate by rather harsh means all deformed
and sickly persons and attracted hand
some giants from all parts of the prov
ince by granting them valuable privi-
leges. Those who refused to marry the
partners he selected were uncermonious-
ly deported.
Since the institution of this human
beauty farm 40 model marriages have
taken place and over 100 children have
been born, nearly all Of them being i'm
mensely superior to the average Rus
sian peasant children in strength and
beauty. The girls in particular are re-
markable for their graceful carriage and
1.-THE, active forms.
A marriage was lately celebrated there
with exceptional display owing to the
fact that the bridegroom and his bride
are the first couple both of whom sprang
from unions arranged by NJ. Reshetnik-
of.
The bridegroom, handsome peasant
named Vasilieff, of splendid physique,
and the bride, lovely girl of is, were
driven to church in NJ. Reshetnikoff' S
carriage and given as dowry a large
wooden cottage and plot of land. Hun
dreds of persons witnessed the ceremony
and at the wedding breakfast NJ. Reshet-
nixon delivered an eloquent speech. in
which he welcomed the second genera
lion of his musings who are to make
holy Russia an earthly Olympus peopled
with Apollos and Hebes."

Officers Of National Union Say Men
Broke Contract With Company.

EIokC kpUAFdlk WIN COUlpdUJs
New York, March 1O.-The most in
teresting development in the subway
and elevated railway strike situation
in New York was the stand taken by
some OF the national labor leaders in
repudiating the action of the local lead
ers who ordered and are conducting
the strike.
The first intimation the public had
that the strike was not endorsed by the
national unions came in a statement
from Grand Chief Warren S. Stone, of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-
neers, to which the motormen belong.
Mr. Stone insisted that the strike was
a violation Of the laws of the national
union, the men having broken their
contract with the Interborough COM
pany He ordered the men to report
for duty failing which expulsion from
the organization is threatened
Harry Johnson. secretary OF the local
union of Locomotive Engineers, said
the men would not go back to work
until they had won their point. the
local union having sufficient money to
carry on the strike without aid from
the national union.
Today several of the old subway mo.
tormen were found in charge of theii
regular trains, and admitted that they
had taken Mr.. Stones advice.
