Although William Waldorf Astor is
an Englishman by adoption his wealth
represents an American fortune. His
father is said to have bequeathed to
him a fortune of between 500, 200 900
and $15O,0O0,OO0. The present value
of the William Waldorf Astor estate
is fixed at the latter figures.
How Vanderbilt Wealth Grew.
Commodor Vanderbilt believed in
the concentration of the family
wealth in competent hands. He left
$50, 100000, the bulk of his estate, to
his son, William H. Vanderbilt, and
one-half OF the remaining $4,000, 900
to the latter's sons. When William H.
Vanderbilt died in 1885 he had. in
creased his inheritance to 5000, OO0, 900.
His sons, William. X. and Cornelius
Vanderbilt the second, received $780,
OOO, 900 each. Each of his eight chill
dern received $10,000,0Oo, one-half in
trust and $20,000,O0o was distributed
in private requests. Thus theh two
sons acquired an inheritance the pres
ent value of which is difficult to esti-
mate.
Mrs. Sage's Fund for Charity.
Aside from Mr.. Rockefeller and Mr..
Carnegie, Mrs. Sage is the wealthy
giver most in the public eye. Many
have heard of the gentle-faced, child
less woman in her seventy seventh
year. who cares nothing for society
and in whom dignity and humor are
dominated by kindly spirit and
grave responsibilities which she keen
ly regrets
When Mr.. Sage's will was filed on
July p last, Mrs. Sage became the
heir to the bulk of his property. Tween
ty-six relatives were the beneficiaries
of lega cies of $4,000 each, which have
largely been increased since then. At
ter paying small private beqaests it
was announced that the rest would be
given away by Mrs. Sage. Before the
will was filed, one estimate of the size
of the fortune was $60,000,000. This
was declared to be much too low. The
estimate of Wall street was 100000
900. Other estimates since the will
was filed have varied from $6S, 1000, 900
to $93.000,000. The balance which

End Of StruuuIe,

Mlpneapolis.-Ralph w. Wheelock,
editor Of paper in one Of the smaller
North Dakota towns, had an expert
ence with blizzard recently that he
would not care to repeat. The follow
ing Is his story Of the occurrence:
The forenoon had been mild. almost
muggy, for January. and while there
were signs of a snowstorm in the air
there was nothing to indicate, to =
tenderfoot at least, that a real dis
aster was at hand. AS I passed up
stairs moment later and entered the
front Office glance through the win
dow, Which looked to the north,
showed a whirling mass of fine snow
coming up from the open prairie
northwest of town, and [ found the
storm was in full blast, with no more
warning than has been suggested.
1t was impossible to see across the
street; the mercury that few Sec
onds before had stood above freezing
had dropped close to zero and the
wind was blowing, apparently, from
all points at once.
Darkness fell early, but brought no
letup in the violence of the storm. In
fact, the wind grew hercer, while the
mercury. went lower
l lived seven blocks from the office
in a northeasterly direction and after
putting the paper to press about 4:30
o'clock in the afternoon / started for
home. For five blocks due east l
struggled and foundered along
through the swirling. deepening drifts
OF tine snow that cut the face like
sharp sand, binding the sight and
freezing about the nose AMI mouth
/ until breathing became difficult.
AS felt my way along from fence
to fence I could imagine what show
for life there would be for either man
or beast out on the open prairie. Near
the end of the trip it was necessary to
cut dagonally across some vacant
lots to reach the house, distance OF
about block and a half, and although
could not see an inch ahead and was
almost exhausted from the twisting
grip of the shifting snowdrifts about
my feet and legs and my breath was
almost suckfd from my lungs by the
peculiar effect of the whirling wind

But | had not struggled ahead ten
feet before l lost all sense OF direc

against the wind I had let go Of m!

The trouble began when Miller bit
an ostrich plume from Miss d'Orsay's

his face.
Subway patrons were packed in the

stood directly in front of Miller, with
her back toward him. She had on

ostrich plumes protruded in all direc-
lions. Every time the car swayed
the plumes tickled A1iller's nose. With
every tickle he plunged for his kerr

Miller, but it got annoying after

Millions from Railroad Deals.
James J. Hill president OF the Great
Northern railroad, and. one of the
masters of American railroads, is re-
puted to be worth $1O0,000,000. He is
68 years old, and owns Transportation
facilities covering almost the entire
continent and steamship lines to the
orient. His rise has been swift and
comparatively recent. He saw his first
opportunity in 1879, when he gained
control of the st. Paul. & Pacific rail-
road, reorganized it, and started to
develop the northwest. In 1898 he
completed the Great Northern to the
Pacific coast, with it's 5000 miles of
lines and 1000 miles of yards and sid
ings. He owns a superb feet of steam
ships on the great lakes, including the
boats of the Northern Steamship
company.

Great Fortunes Of I.
Today Not Computed
Under Nine Figures

New York.-John D. Rockefeller's
fortune, according to Frederick. T.
Gates, his almoner. cannot exceed
$250,O00,000 to 100000, 900" This
statement was made on Mr.. Rookie
feller's own estimate. While this fig
! ure indicates smaller sum than Mr..
Rockefeller has been popularity sup
posed possessed of, it leaves him still
the richest man in America, although
many believe Senator William Clark
may prove eventually to be the rich
est man in the United States. Owing
TO his great undeveloped mining prop
critics his fortune cannot be accurately
estimated.
furthermore, great fortunes which
may, be placed in the same class as
mat OF Mr.. ROckefeller's are by no
means infreQuent. The great fortune
OF today hovers around the 100000
600 mark. Half a dozen men and es-
tates are rated at sums ranging any
where from that figure to Mr.. Rookie
feller's $500, 1000 900. Such fortunes are
sufficiently numerous to fix the stand
ard in sums Of nine figures.
Mr.. Carneeie's Vast Accumulation.
When the Carnegie company was
formed in New Jersey in March, 1900,
as preliminary to the formation of
the United States Steel corporation,
MIR. Carnegie was credited with $780,
$4,000 in stock and $751; 900 in
bonds, Or $174.529,O00 in ALL He re-
tired from business in the following
year. At that time his fortune was
estimated at sums ranging from $780,
100000 to $250,000,00O. and his income
at from $24,000,00O to $26,00O,OO0 a
year. His income is now about
$15.00O,000 a year, according to re-
cent: estimate. Conceding that his in
come for six years has averaged s2O.-
100000 or $4,000, 900 in all, he could
have given at least $100,0OO,OO0 with
out inpairing his capital.
