are, however, of no great consequence.
His patronage of sport is, however,
more of the quiet, unassuming type
than of, the senseless extravagances
of the youth who has just come into
an unexpected inheritance.
His luncheons, both at fashionable
hotels and at his private residence, are
distinguished for the absence of shady
hnanciers, butterfly lordlings and
parasitical sports. Every person pres
ent might carry in his pocket a GER
tihcate of character and respectability

incidentally, he inherits his broth
er's beautiful house in Park Lane, but
it is understood that he is going to
sell it.
When he has dinner or supper
party at his house all the food is sup
piled by a firm of caterers from out
side. Cooking on the premises, he
says, destroys the atmosphere of che
place and encourages insects and mi
crobes of every description. He is
on terms of personal intimacy with
the King and the Prince of Wales,
and his house is one of the few in
London where his Majesty visits to
have hand at cards and a game at
billiards. While Alfred Belt was ac-
cumulating millions for himself and
his friends his brother Otto was cul-
tivating the society of London's
proudest aristocrats One was the
financier, the other the sprightly
Bohemian courtier, and in this way
the brothers succeeded in bringing
together variety of influential forces.

OF an EasY.Goina Nature.

Alfred was a man Of method and
determination in everything he under
took Otto, on the other hand, was
inclined to take things easy and let
opportunities slide. Perhaps it was
the feeling that his brother had ac-
cumulated sufficient wealth to supply
the family wants a thousand times
over and keep their old mother in
Hamburg supplied with luxuries that
caused him to incline more to the
pleasures and enjoyments OF society
than he otherwise would There is no
reason why he shouldn't so far as
his mother is concerned, for the old
lady lives monotonously at the family
home in Germany and finds apparent
ly some difficulty in getting through
with the $4,000 year which it was
Alfred Belts first ambition to secure
for her.
The San Francisco call., 1906-09-09
Close Friend of the Kinu.

Unlike his brother, Otto does not
believe in the early-to-bed and early
to-rise rule, but as he does not satu-
rate himself with wine and keeps in
form by means of plenty of physical
exercise, little sleep satisfies him.
A dip in the lake in Hyde Park in
the early morning is a luxury he
never misses when ne is in London.
In the choice of his food he is pecu-
liarly simple in his habits, and prefers
a chop or steak to anything else. For
this reason he has not distinguished

Fond of fhe Actresses.

1t would not be right to say that
Otto Belt has been man-about-town.
He lacks the foolish extravagances
of the Johnnie" but he likes the
theater, the music hail and the opera,
both before and behind the scenes.
Indeed, it was once suggeste- that
if he married at all he was sure to
succumb to the destinations of some
one of the dozen or. sof beautiful
actresses who were always ready to
share his hospitality at one or other
of the restaurants where he was wont
to entertain.
While the new multi-millionaire is
fond of life and the excitements of
fashionable London. there is nothing
Objectionable in his manner of doing
things. He dresses with great care,
but resembles his late brother in abb
horring jewelry He carries some
times a common oxidized metal watch
to which is attached a leather strap
held to his waist coat button-hole by
means of buckle.
He likes sport, fromi boxing, wrest-
ling, billiard playing to horse racing,
and has now succeeded to his broth
er's racing stables in Germany, which

Z ONDON, Sept S.-By the death
of his brother Alfred, Otto Belt,
- a bachelor aged 50, becomes
practically the richest man in Eng
land-oertainly the richest untitled
citizen. The fortune Of the dead mil
lionaire is conservatively estimated
at any figure between $4o,ooo,ooo and
$4,000, 900, and as the bulk of this
is left to his brother, Otto Belt must
be regarded as the king of English
men Of wealth.
It is lucky for Otto Belt that he
had brother possessing such ten
acity Of purpose-so keen, shrewd
and enterprising-beoause if left to his
own initiative it is doubtful whether
he would ever succeed in controlling
millions.
There were no two brothers who
possessed more widely different char
acteristics. In the midst of all his
financial worries and excitement the
late Alfred Belt was always devotedly
attached to his own family and rela-
tives, and when fortune came he
shared it literally with them all The
happy-go-lucky disposition of his
brother appealed to him, though he
was himself one Of the most matter

Immediately Alfred Belt saw the
foundation of his own fortune laid he
shared all his condolences and the
most of his investments with his
brother, so that Otto Belt developed
into millionaire back in 1880 quite
as rapidly and quite as Unexpectedly
as he has now become multi-nlil-
lionaire.
Although he has been now for a
number of years personally acquaint-
ed with almost every detail of his
dead brothers financial and industrial
undertakings, he has taken but little
actual share in directing or controll-
ing them. His brother used him as
a sort of courier when important
dispatches relating to hurried finance
had to be carried between London,
Paris, Berlin and South Africa. At
the Offices of the great firm of Wern-
her, Belt & Co., he was seldom seen
One of the. heads of the depart
ments, in detailing his experiences
of the two brothers said:
The governor, although most
humane and considerate man, was ex-
cessively exacting in all matters re-
lating to business. We always ex-
pected rough time of it when we
reached the Office at o:3o or 10 in
the morning and found him already
wading through piles of correspond
ence. When Otto took his place we
always were prepared for an evening
out, and to have what we liked in
drinks and cigars"

. royal Princess, and the United States will prob
aply get the first details the English papers will be
rather to publishing anything involving the
royal family.
The facts are that of the Princesses has fallen
in love with young scion of of the oldest families
in Great Britain. He is also mady in love with her
But the august father of the Princess for what are
said to be good reasons, which cannot, however, be
made public, refuses to countenance marriage The
Princess does not know the real objections.
1t is now said that there has been violent scene
between the Princess and her father, and that the
Princess has emphaticay stated that she will marry
the man of her choice despite all opposition even if
she has to elope secretly with him. Her father has also
had interview with the young man, and has warned
him not to write, see, communicate any way with
the young He, being officer in the army
bound to obey the royal command, and SO there is
the situation.
