The Worlds Greatest Porenrare.

| From the purely financial point OF
view, however, Mr. Rockefeller is easily
the worlds greatest potentate. The
car OF Russia enjoys an annual income
OF about $12,O00,000; Emperor William,
| as king OF Prussia, receives little less
than $4,OOO.OO0; the emperor of Austria
Hungary, $3.875000; King Edward. 81
225,OOO, and the king of Spain, So, 900, 900.
In the expressive phrase of Wall street,
King John, as emperor of oil, king of
steel, banking and railroads, and
prince of several lesser dominions.
could buy and sell them all. If he had
to earn his present wealth at the rate
OF two dollars a day, which many of his
employees receive, it would take him
something more than $4,000 years to
accomplish the task or considerably
longer than we have any record of in
human history. 1t is not merely the
number Of John D. Rockefellers mil
lions, astounding as is their total, that
is most impressive. 1t is the power
which they convey. BY reason Of his
ability to reward and punish, to make
and unmake values, to bestow riches or
ruin, he is almost absolute master not
only of those enterprises in which he
holds a major monetary interest, but in
all those to which he cares to turn his
attention in any way The enterprises
in which he holds investments aggre-
gate capitalization of over $5,OOO,-
100000 Though he owns outright but
tenth of this, he can sway the destinies
of every company involved if he SO de-
sires.
Certainly the world never has seen
such fortune as this accumulated in
SO years by the efforts of one man who
has possessed no advantage, except such
as he was able to impose through the
cunning of his brain over any one of
100000 of his fellows, but who never
theless has levied tribute not only on his
cOuntrymen but on residents of the re-
moteness of China, India and Africa who
never have heard and never will hear
his name, who has worsted opponents
OF business resources as vast and bust
ness consciences as elastic as his own.
and who holds to-day the greatest indus
tries and most powerful financial insti-
tutions in the country in the hollow of
his hand, the unresisting subjects of his
will.

Process OF holding them until better
times to realize a multiplied return on
the investment.
Three-Fold Profit in Iron.
Mr.. Rockefeller has done this in many
instances. A notable case was that OF
his iron ore properties. During the de-
preston of 1893 he bought. cheaply for
cash, the ore lands of Lake Superior and
the Minnesota ranges. He improved the
mining equipment, built great docks and
invested in huge ore carriers on the
great lakes. When the era of high
prices came along on the prosperity
wave of 1900 and the United States Steel
corporation was organized Mr.. Rookie
Teller sold out. The $25,OO0,00O which
Mr.. Rockefeller has in one form or an
other of steel holdings may be said to
represent almost entirely profits on his
investment of dozen years ago. 1t is
understood that in addition to his inter-
ests in the United States Steel corpora
ton however, he has very large hold
ings in the Lackawanna Steel company,
while he is a recognized factor in the
affairs of the Colorado Fuel and Iron
company.
Very much the same story as his
profitable investments in iron-ore lands
could be told of his connection with the
lead and zinc mines which were trans
ferred to the trust at profit that ran
into millions.
In the discussion about the affairs of
the Amalgamated Copper company the
name of Rockefeller has been mentioned
frequently, but it has been explicitly de-
MED by the legal representatives of
Standard Oil that John D. Rockefeller
has any interest in this company, in
which his brother, William, and his
close associate, H. H. Rogers, have been
the leading spirits. This statement is
accepted at it's face value in Wall street.
where it is known that John D. Rookie
Teller has heavy investments in much
more profitable company, the American
Smelling and Refining.
Other industrial companies in which
he is largely concerned are the Ameri-
can Linseed Oil company, two of the big
express companies, the sugar trust and
the various organizations known collec-
lively as the tobacco trust.
Not Railway Man, But
John u. Rockefeller is not known as
a railway man. While there are Van
derbilt, Hill, Morgan and Hartman
systems, there is no combination of
roads known as the Rockefeller system.
Nevertheless Mr.. Rockefeller is the larg-
est individual holder of railroad securi-
ties in the country. He is heavily inter-
ested in the Gould roads-Missouri Pa
ciic, Missouri, Kansas & Texas, Texas
& Pacific and Wabash-and it is through
his backing and assistance that George
Gould has been able to fight his way
successfully against the powerful COM
bination of railway interests in bringing
his lines eastward toward the Atlantic
seaboard. But in addition to this he is
heavy holder of the stocks and bonds,
more particularly the bonds, Of alE..Aasxtt

Telling Time by the Scales

Il happened to be in butcher shop up
in Harlem the other afternoon" said
Mr.. Edward Morgan, the assistant post
master of New York, when in came a
woman of ample proportions and unmis-
taxable Hibernian extraction. The
scales were the old-fashioned kind, with
