Although Modest About it, John D. stiu Heads a List With Carnegie n Good Second - --rs. Walker First on List of women-~some- thing About the New York "sand- Hor..

New York. March 9.--tspecial)-- The American billionarie has not yet arrived. Since the impression that John D. Rockefeller possessed fortune or one thousand millions has been remov- ed by that gentleman himself, 1t IS plain that we must struggle along with a few persons who possess fortunes of hundreds of millions.
 Though Mir. Rockefeller does not measure up to the role of the billion aire, he is still our richest individual He has a fortune of $500. 100000 and an income of something like $2o,oo0,0o0 a year.
 The great fortune of today hovers around the $100,000,oU0 mark and there are a number that can be placed in that class. Andrew Carnegie is In no danger of starvation. When the Carnegie Company was formed in New Jersey, March 1900. as a preliminary to the formation of the United States Steel Corporation, Mir. Carnegie was credited with $s6.3s2.0oo in stock and sSs,147, ,000 in bonds. or S174,529,000 in all. He retired from business the fol-

4 word Ahout cahmep.

If you want to provoke New York CT to profanity, there is no easier way to do 1t than to mention the cabman, for in this city he is an outcast for whom no one says a good word. May be it was Dickens who put the cabby In disrepute when he wrote about the London Jehu, and may be he deserves what he is getting. but at least the figures are on the cabby's side. It is true that riding in cabs in New York Is an expensive luxury as compared with foreign cities, but there are req sons why 1t should be. The vehicle, the harness, and even the horse cost the cabman more here. It costs him twice as much to feed his horse and everyone knows 1t costs him more to feed himself.
 Cab fares are regulated by law, but the persons who make the most fuss about eKtortionate cabmen are the last to look up the legal schedule. oFr cabs-that is two-wheeled vehicles the charge Is 50 cents for one mile or any fraction thereof. With coaches.

Pneumonia is now killing more than 200 persons a week, men and women and children. in New York and all the hospitals are being beseiged for the ad- mission of patients suffering from the disease.
