as the third richest man in Congress.

posed millionaires on this Senate list.

per cent" said Senator Elkins. in all
seriousness, as he surveyed the
names of his very rich colleagues,
land they will be more nearly cor
rect. 1t is the honest truth that
many of the men listed in the Senate
by these writers as worth all the way
from s1,0OO,000 to $50. 100000 each
would be willing to take ten per cent.
of these estimates in cash to-day.
Run over the names of the
wealthy men of the Senate" contin-
ued Mr.. Elkins. There are admit
teddy some wealthy men among its
members. They are nothing like as
rich as they are represented to be,
but with only one or two exceptions
you will find they are self-made men,
who started in very modest circum-
stances.

gerated talk about millionaires pre-

the way. According to time honored
anarchistic methods the murderer
was selected from their number by
drawing lots. The man who chose
the fatal paper which made him a re-
gicide decided to kill the King at
fancy dress ball which he was to at
tend at Stockholm, so as Gustave en-
tered the ballroom he received his
death blow. The assassin was exc
cuted, but all the instigators escaped
punishment.
Emperor Paul of Russia spent his
entire life trying to escape assassina-
ton and at last was chokeG to death
by u band of conspirators- His ex-
cesses were so horrible and he was so
insane in his cruelties that it is small
wonder his life was always threat
ened. His murderer was not put to
death. but merely sentenced to ex-
0ulsion from St. Petersburg.
On June 4, 1876, four days after
his abdication, Abdul Aziz, Sultan of
Turkey, was found dead. He was
probably assassinated.
In 1881 Alexander II. of Russia
was killed by bomb thrown at him
as he was driving to the palace after
he had taken the oath.
There was no great surprise at the
murder of Nasr ed Din. Shah of Per-
STA, for the lives OF Eastern rulers
are VIGOROUSLY insecure, but his
Majesty had been twice to England
and by his personal charm and tact
had made himself very popular. The
special feature of this crime was the
cruelty with which the assassins were
punished. They were placed in pits
as deep as they were tall and these
were filled in with plaster of paris.
Then water was poured on, with the
result that as the substance set the
poor wretches were slowly crushed
out of existence.
The murder of the gentle and sore
: ly stricken Empress of Austria is
still fresh in peoples minds. Luc-
choni, her assassin, said when cap

Empress was killed at Geneva.

Their history was not a pleasant one
and they seemed to have rushed from

their unpopularity increased among
their subjects.
Besides all the royal victims who
have suffered death here have been
numerous others who have escaped
assassination, but who have spent all
their lives in fear of it and often on
the very verge of it. Frequent at
tempts were made on the lives of
