great wealth to employ detectives,
sometimes several of them being on
hand Some years ago Mrs A T.
Stewart appeared on the piazzas of
summer hotels with a detective hover
ing within a few feet of her to safe
guard the fortune in diamonds she
wore To-day things are differently
ma aged, but the necessity for pro-
lection is none the less real. Fash
ionable weddings, where a fortune in
wedding gifts are known to be col
1ected, are almost always policed. 1t
is common for a private detective
agency to be called upon and the en-
tire arrangement looking toward its
protection placed in their hands. The
detective in charge goes over the
ground and places his men long before
the ceremony. Some of the detectives
will masquerade as guests in frock
coats Still others may be disguised
as servants. One or more men will,
of course. be on constant guard in the
rooms where the presents are dis
played.
Even the pleasure of distributing
charities becomes a very complex and
irksome affair when the sum to be
distributed reaches enormous proper
lions. During ones lifetime, at least,
it would seem that it would be an easy
matter to dispose of money AS q
matter of fact. many men and women
of great wealth are obliged to place
their benefactions upon a regular
business basis in order not to be
robbed. Several men of great wealth,
notably Mr. Rockefeller, are compelled
to employ men at large salaries, who
are in turn assisted by staffs of clerks,
to examine into the demands made
upon them and after investigation de-
eide just how the money shall be
distributed 1t is certainly no fun to
enjoy the pleasure of giving at the ex-
pense of all this complicated and irk-
some business detail

A man in the ordinary walks of life,
again, who contributes to church or

During the severe weather in Janu-
airy the young queen of Spain ordered
that the number of rations given to
the poor at her expense be doubled.
At the beginning of the winter she
gave orders for 1000 rations a day, so
that now from her own private income
she is paying for 1000 rations daily
Judged by the American standard, the
queen of Spain does not belong to the
class of the extremely rich There are
at least so American women between
the age of 20 and so who have private
incomes greater than that enjoyed by
her majesty

criticized The white light which
beats upon a throne is turned on his
slightest act The very possession of
such great wealth serves to antagonize
q considerable proportion of the COM
munity, and his most praiseworthy act
il attributed to Interior motives, per-
haps to very selfish and unworthy
ones. One of the most familiar In
stances OF this is the case Of man
who ranks among the most liberal dis
tributors of public benefactions In the
world to-day, whose name is on every
ones tongue, and yet he is the subject
of bitter attack. and his benefactions
are attributed to his desire to place
certain securities in consecutive
hands throughout the country 1t is,
of course, impossible to please every
one. and the dissatisfied element are
certain to feel bitterness in direct
ratio to the size of the fortunes in
volved-
The diseases of the rich are still
another disturbing factor in this bal
ance. It is no exaggeration to place
a number of distressing physical ills
in this category. The nervous and
mental strain of handling a great for
tune is exceedingly trying upon the
strongest organization. 1t was Jay
Gould who remarked, during the ex-
element of a great financial panic,
that a man controlling a fortune of
$50 000, 900 had no time either to eat
or Sleep A man in active control of
a great fortune is obviously under a
tremendous strain. AS result cases
of physical breakdown in Wall street
are common, and men young in years
are often old in health.
kidnapping Plots.
1t is only a short time since plot
was revealed to hdnap John d. Rookie
teller and hold him for the payment of
an immense ransom. Here is another
danger which a man less conspicuous
for his wealth avoids. The case was,

ago It was common for the grounds az
great estates to be opened at certain
hours at least to the public, but to-day
such privileges are rarely granted. IN
almost every case such places are
completely walled in and the various
entrances are closely guarded. No
matter how far from the mansion may
be the lodge, no one is permitted to
enter until he has been announced by
telephone and permission has been
granted Mr.. John d. Rockefeller, for
instance, is as closely guarded in his
estate at Tarrytown or in Cleveland
as is royalty Even person stopping
before one of these entrances is close
~ watched. The estate of Mr.. George
Gould, at Lakewood, is guarded in the
same way, while others might be
cited
A famous murder recently has di-
rected attention to the very general
use which is made of private detec-
tiyes by people of great wealth. The
fact comes as surprise to many. So
quiet q figure and SO much beloved a
character as Miss Helen Gould, for in
stance, frequently employs private de-
tectfves as a safeguard against rob-
berry Many well-known miI1ionaires
go about accompanied by gentleman
Unlocking detective who acts as a
bodyguard. Ia many cases these men
are not employed so much to guard
against robbery as to protect them in
case they should be threatened with
actual bodily harm. Should the mail
of some wealthy man contain some
threatening letter it is not uncommon
for a detective to be called in and en-
gagged for a few days, perhaps for a
long period, either to run down the
writer of the letter or to personally
accompany the wealthy man to and
from his Office.
Detectives Always on Hand

functions it is common for people Of

Mrs Lenora Bodenhamer, R. F. d. L.
Box 90, Kerners vile, N. c., writes:
CT suffered with stomach trouble and
Indigestion for some time, and nothing
that ate agreed with me. i was very
nervous and experienced a continual
feeling of nne asfness and fear. took
medicine from the doctor, but it did me
40 good.
Il found in one of your Peruna books
description of my symptoms. i then
wrote to DIR. Hartman for advice. He
aid I had catarrh of the stomach L
sook Peruna and Mana1in and followed
his directions and can now say that I
teel as well as ever did.
81 hope that all who are afflicted with
'he same symptoms will take Peruna, as
t has certainly cured me. :"
The above is only one of hundreds who
have written similar letters to Dr.
Hartman. Just one such case as this
antilles Peruna to the candid consider
ttion of every one similarly afflicted. If
his be true of the testimony of one per-
ION what ought to be the testimony of
hundreds, yes thousands, of honest, sin
cere people. We have in our files a great
many other testimonials.

of course, unusual, but, on the other
hand, the fear of kidnapping hangs
very heavily over the families of the
rich. As result the children of fam
lilies of great fortune have, as a mat
ter of fact, less liberty than children
of families in much poorer circum-
stances. The little heirs to great for
tunes cannot play in the parks or even
walk in the streets without a guard of
some sort They must be constantly
watched Even in the country this
surveillance is continued At scores
of great estates throughout the coun-
try the gates are closed to the public
on the ground that the children who
are playing about would be endan-
gered.
The fear of blackmail, again, is
much more general than is generally
supposed The mail of practically all
men of great wealth constantly brings
them threats of every possible kind.
The person who attempts blackmail
may have no discriminating knowledge
whatever. In most cases he probably
has not, but the menace is none the
less disconcerting. A considerable
part of the public is always ready to
believe the worst of men in high
places, ana a clever DldckmdlitT may
do incalculable HARM

are often amassed with amazing rap

day afternoon at which the question
of buying the 80 acres adjoining the
school grounds was under considera-

ed the owners Of the land, was pres
ent and it is understood than an offer
of four thousand dollars was made
for the eighty acres. This matter will
have TO be left to the eastern parties
as TO acceptance or non-acceptance
but from what has been learned Mr..
Rothschild will recommend that the
land be sold for the amount offered.
This is a nice piece of land and will
made quite an addition to the schools
