MlLLloNAIREs ON EARTH.
Ten Thousand and Eighty-seven, One
Half of Whom Are in
America.

John D. Rockefeller's fortune is not |
less than S5O0OOO,OOO, says Cent Per
Cent.
There are now 100S7 known million
aires (more than one-half of whom
5,027--are in America their fortunes
totaling $9,0O0,OOO,0OO Every state and
territory is represented in the list, and
one millionaire, an Indian, Melvin
Dempsey, is in Alaska. Nearly all of the
remaining 5000 millionaires are in Eu-
rope, though Asia has 900 and Africa
and South Africa each have their share.
In 1S46 Moses Y. Beach printed list
Of New York city's rich men, He gave
the names of 1,024 possessing $10O 600
each, and of 23 men with $1,000,O 600 each.
Now only millionaires are counted
among the rich, and there are 1900 OF
them in New York city alone.
In Australia Sir Jervoise Clarke has a
sheep ranch worth $15O,0O0,OO0; and in
South Africa ABE" Bentley is so rich
that he gave S0000,000 acres of valuable
land as contribution to the Salvation
Army.
Among the millionaires of London Sir
Thomas Lipton's S25 100000 is small
fry when compared with estates such
as that of the infant Earl Grosvenor,
valued conservatively at SS0,OO0,000, or
that of the premier duke of Norfolk.
whose income is $500 day.
We are drawing no morals in'this ar
ticle, yet one is forced at least to think,
| and think profoundly, when he learns
that there are many very wealthy men,
including 49 millionaires, in Russia, and
not one in Japan, save the mikado HIM
self The entire nation, according to
the Til Shimpo, ToEio's leading fnan-
cial journal, holds but 441 fortunes of as
much as S250,0O0 each, and these are
Japan's richest. Our Senator Clark or
Mr.. Flagler could either of them buy
out the entire AL. And yet Japan has
no paupers. 1t is land Of people we'll
drilled, of farms well titled, of pockets
well filled. Their wealth is evenly di-
vided. On the other hand, Russias rich
are lavishly elegant in their manner of
living beyond anything mere money has
made possible in other hands. Not a
luke or a prince of the blood but in
dulges in magnificent eXtravagances
which make the occidental gasp with
amazement. What has been said of mil
lionaires generally is at least true of
those of Russia, judging from the result
of Russia's contest with the Japanese;
it is that we sorrow, not that these Rus
SLAMS have so much money, but that they
seem to have nothing else.

richest man in the world, and his for

Yerkes is not bothering his head
about any such preferment. He is
eminently fitted for the place he now
holds and has made an enviable rec
ord as the head of this most important
bureau in the government service. He
is one of the most affable men in the
public service and it is the delight of
his newspaper friends to gather in his
office in the treasury building and lis
ten to his fund of Kentucky stories
which he tells in most charming and
effective manner.
Mr.. Yerkes is Kentuckian and no
son of that state, renowned for her
fast horses, beautiful women and chiv-
alrous men, is prouder of his birth
right. He is a Kentucky republican
of the most aristocratic class and of
the type of Jusuice John M. Harlan, of
| the supreme court, who is known as
Kentucky's grand old man" Mr..
Yerkes is a splendid type of the tall
Kentuckian. He is little over six
feet in height, we'll proportioned and
| as straight as a pine. He is of ruddy
| countenance, has soft brown wavy
hair and a sweeping dark red mus
tache. He attracts attention wherever
he is seen by his carriage and distin-
guished air. He is well balanced in
tellectually and has a fine reputation
as a lawyer.
The south has been claiming that
she is entitled TO representation in the
cabinet and will not accept Secretary
Bonaparte, of Maryland, rs altogether
filling the bill. She wants some one
from the real south and the friends OF
Mr. Yerkes want to know why he will
not meet requirements. President
Roosevelt has a way of filling cabinet
vacancies himself without much re
gard to what friends of available tim
ber may say, and he has given no in
timation that Mr., Yerkes has been ir
his mind for a place at his council
table.

A nervous, irritable mother, often on
the verge of Mysteries, is unfit to care
for children; it ruins child'S diSposi-
ton and reacts upon herself. The
trouble between children and their
mothers too often is due to the fact
that the mother has some female weak
ness, and she is entirely unfit to bear
the strain upon her nerves that govern
ing children involves; it is impossible
for her to do anything calmly.
The ills of women act like tirebrand
upon the nerves, consequently nine
tenths of the nervous prostration, ner-
vous dependency. the blues" sleep
lessness, and nervous irritability of
women arise from some arrangement
of the female organism.
Do YOU experience fits of depression
with restlessness, alternating with
extreme irritabilityP Are your spirits
easily affected, so that one minute you
| laugh, and the next minute you feel
| like crying?
Do you feel something like ball ris-
ing in your throat and threatening to
! choke you; all the senses perverted,
morbidly sensitive TO light and sound +;
pain in the ovaries, and especially
! between the shoulders; bearing down
pains; nervous dyspepsia, and almost
continually cross and snappy?
If so, your nerves are in a shattered
condition, and you are threatened with
nervous prostration.
Proof is monumental that nothing ii
the world is better for nervous prostra
ton than Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege
table Compound; thousands and thou
sands of women testify to this fact.

have received the most enthusiastic
receptions in other parts of the coun-
try have met with only a Chautauqua
salute in the national capital The
cause of this seeming indifference un-
doubtedly lies in the fact that great
men are as common in Washington
as blackberries.
Despite this apathetic air the peo-
pie of Washington propose to wake
up and show the country that they
are not Indifferent to their own dis
tinguished citizens, among whom they
always claim the president of the
United States. They now propose to
give Mr.. Roosevelt a fitting reception
upon his return to the capital on
September 80. They do not intend
to have the garish display that other
cities might get up for such an oc-
casion, but the plan is to have the
citizens assemble by the thousand
along Pennsylvania avenue from the
railroad station to the white house
and applaud the president as the lat
ter drives from the train to his of
fetal home. There will be no mill
tary display and no firing of cannon,
but just such a reception as the rech-
earche populace of this ultra conserva-
tive town might be expected to give.
| The Chautauqua salute was first dis
cussed, but compromise has been
! sugg ested which is likely to be adopt
ed and that is to use small American
| flags instead of handkerchiefs in wav-
ing The salute.
There will be no speeches at this
reception much to the regret of the
honorable commissioners who are gift
ed in this line. 1t is remembered that
two years ago when similar demon
stration was gotten up to welcome
the president home from a western
tour, the official orators drew up be
fore the executive as he alighted and
prepared to deliver a formal speech
of welcome. Mr.. Roosevelt waved
them aside, sprang into his carriage
and at once entered upon the drive tC
the white house. There will be nc
wasted efforts on oratory this time.
