0tx Of Them Have Fortunes AGgre~
eating Quarter of Billion.
Six widows of the United States have
an aggregate wealth of more than a quar-
ter of billion dollars. William Henry
Smith, who died the other day in Japan,
left an estate estimated at 100000 900.
Hetty Green does not talk about her for
tune, but it has been placed at from
$6O,0OO,OOO to $S0OOO,OOO. Mrs. Russell
Sage came into $S5,OOO,OOO, but she has
given away $15,OOOOOO in less than
year. There is Mrs. Anna Weightman
Walker, who is worth $6O,OOO,OOO. Mrs.
Marshall Field is comfortable on $15,-
100000, and Mrs. Marshall Field, Jr.,
has $5,OOO,0OO. Her wealth is not so
great in itself, but her sons will come
into, perhaps, $50,OOO,OOO when they are
of age. All this wealth has not accumu-
lated by the husbands of the women; as
matter OF fact, in but two instances were
the husbands the money makers, and they
were Russell Sage and Marshall Field
Hetty Green inherited about $4,000
600 from her father, and she has spent
all her life trying to see how high she
eould pile up the pyramids of golden
coins. When she is not engaged in fight
ing lawyers, Mrs. Green spends her time
in buying substantial securities and clip
ping coupons. When she dies the fortune
will 60 to her son, Edward Green, rail-
road builder and politician in Texas, and
her daughter, Sylvia, who is unmarried.
Mrs Russell Sages greatest gift was
$1O,OO0,0O0 for improving the condition
of the poor. She has announced that in
the distribution of the Sage millions there
will be no indiscrimiuate giving. Mrs.
Walker is primarily a business woman
and spends most of her time keeping track
of her investments. Her wealth came
from her father, William Weightman Of
Philadelphia.
Perhaps the greatest of all recent es-
tates was that of Marshall Field, the
Chicago merchant, who died worth more
than $1OO,O00,OOO. Provision for his
grandchildren, who will, in time, inherit
the bulk of the estate, and the important
educational and charitable bequests left
comparatively small sum for the widow,
Mrs. Marshall Field, Jr. is training her
sons to care for the millions that will be
theirs.

PLAYING THE HORSES.
How n $4,000 Bank Roll won $780,
900 Year for Eight Years.

900 Year for Eight Years.
That the professional gambler has the
best OF the game is proved every time an
investigation let's in the light of truth.
But the recent revelations made by Dis
trict Attorney Jerome of New York are
simply astounding in their exposure of
how the pool room proprietors fleece the
people who think they can beat the horse
racing game. The other day his agents
raided pool room at 112 Fulton street
and were fortunate enough to secure pos
session of neatly kept set of books
which make astounding revelations. The
books contain a complete record of the
pool room transactions for several years
past. They show that in January. 1899,
bank roll' of $1,000 was made up.
Every day of the month the transactions
are summed up in columns of winnings
and losings. The books show, after all
expenses including protection" money
had been paid, profit of $1O,O53.75. In
May there was another 'whack k-up" of
profits amounting to $14,271. Then the
bank rolf was increased to $4,000.
From that time, May, 1899, the bank roll
was never drawn upon in any single
month and for eight years the winnings
have averaged $250,OO0 year or So
100000 during the eight years. The
books show how and among whom the
money was divided and it is believed that
Mr.. Jerome is warmer on the scent of
"the man higher up" than he ever was
before. One of those who regularly re-
ceived 16 per cent rake-off is said to
be State Senator. Mr.. Jerome will not
make names public at this time.

LEGISLATION FOR EFFECT.
Many Bills Introduced in Congress

to Impress Constituents.
Less than per cent Of the bills in
troduced in Congress relate to public
with matters bearing directly or indi.
rectly on the Congressmans hope of re-
nomination and reelection. The total
number of house bills introduced dur
ing the first session of the Fifty eighth
Congress Gncluding the special ses-
sion), was 1856. OF these, only 1,645
were public measures. The other
1881 were private. Two hundred
and sixty-four public laws were enact
ed and 1896 private laws. Much Of
the proposed private legislation was
put in without any thought of its ulti-
mate passage: but, whether it was ex.
pected to pass or not, and whether it
was pushed or not the purpose of its
introduction was generally the same
to give an appearance Of activity and
influence ''the boys at home.
About 35 per cent Of the Congress

ments are introduced which are not in
cluded in the big general measures,
but sometimes they do almost as much
good as If they were passed, so far as
their effect on the voters Is concerned,
especially II the introducer is of the
minority party. Then he can assert
that the demons Of the other side pre-
vented favorable action on his prof.
ects, and thus kept justice from her
throne.
Not many years ago a man who had
persistently brought the claims Of a
pet project before the river and har-
Dor committee broke down when he
sawthat his reiterated arguments were
having no effect.
Gentlemen" he said, to the assem-
bled committeeman, as he wiped the
tears from his eyes, "I'll be quite
frank with you. II I fail to get the
appropriation 1 am asking for I will
fail to get back to Congress. I know

out OF politics by having the county school

Condition Of Emperor Francis Joseph

Vienna, Oct. 16.-According to the
most trustworthy information the
condition Of Emperor Francis Joseph
shows no Improvement. The fever
has returned to a moderate extent,
but in spite Of this, his majesty re-
mains in good spirits and Tuesday he
expressed desire for physical exer-
else.
It is understood that arrangements
are being made to heat two galleries
in the Schoenbrunn palace in order
that he may there take his walks I'M
der similar conditions Of temperature
as obtained in his bedroom. A ham
mock will be swung in the bedroom in
order that his majesty may rest at in
tervals should he experience fatigue.
It is expected that this experience will
afford relief to the hacking cough.
This phase Of the illness Of the en-
peror has abated but little and it oc.
casions him severe headaches.
The semi-official communications ap-
pear rather optimistic in the matter
Of the progress of the malady, but
they add that the condition Of the pa
tient is stationary.
The Minister Of finance declared al
the orening of the bourse that his
majesty's illness was pursuing a sat
isfactory course and it would there
fore seem evident that no Immediate
danger is feared
