RICH BUT POOR

" ETTY GREEN says she is the
loneliest woman in the world.

to the acquisition of money, it is nat

ut doesn't amount to an:-thing."
Let us pity the poor rich. Too much
sentimental sympathy is wasted on the
poor poor, who, when they have
friends, relatives, enough to eat and
clean consciences withal, are richer
than the poor rich: the destitute and
forlorn millionaires who. like ole Hetty
Green, find themselves alone in old age
with nothing but gold to love. Gold
cannot reclprocate. 1t will not love
back. Poor old Hetty Green, with
toadies ready to bow before her In
bringing swarms at wag of her lean
forefnger, is the loneliest woman IN
the world: the richest woman on EARTH
yet the poorest.

Lookina Out For Number One.

From the Philadelphia Times.
 There is a home restaurant" in ne neighborhood of Eighth and Chestnut streets which is patronized for the most part by cub reporters, impecuni- ous young lawyers, struggling physici- ans, and ambitious teachers from vari- ous institutions. The restaurant em- ploys a half dozen walters. also of the struggling type. who take an almost paternal interest in the guests.

his left hand on the table and as he became interested in the talk, now and then tapped the board with his nails. As he did so I could not keep my eyes off his hand. The nails on the last three fingers-that is, on all of the fingers except the index fnger-were at least three inches long. and the thumb nall stood out like 8 spoon. When not tap ping his excellency's hand, resting on the nails had the tips of the fingers raised above the table itself to the height of an ordinary glass tumbler. and the wrist was well up off the table. The finger nails were as white as ivory, and it struck me that it must be a trouble some matter to keep them so clean.
 chlna's Steel Industry.
 The conversation opened with the dis cussion of the Hanyang steel works. which I told his excellenoy I had just visited. 1 asked him how they were do- ing. He replied that they were steadily increasing in efficiency and in their ability to turn out modern rails, struc- tural steel and other such materials. He said that the company had already ex ported pig iron to America, and that it could, if 1t would, now sell iron there in competition with the United States steel trust; at a profit. He said that the day would come when China would produce all its own steel, and that every province would eventually have it's own factories and foundries. Sheng expects much from Japan as a purchaser of Chinese iron and steel, and he considers our Pacific coast a legitimate tributary of the industrial China of the future.
 I asked him as to his Iron mines. He replied that the supply of ore is almost inexhaustible, and is finer than that of most parts of the world. It is as pure as the famed iron of Sweden, and is much more easily won As to the coal he is now using, this makes fife coke, and China has been exporting coke to Japan.

 Shanghai \ HAVE just returned from an interview with one of the richest and ablest \ men of all Asia. I refer to Sheng Kung Pao. the Pierpont Morgan Of Chi na; and, I might say, the Rockefeller, as we'll. Sheng is worth his tens of mill lions. Like Pierpont Morgan. he started life rich; and like him. he has null tipled his inherited fortune manyfold- All his life he has been the organizer of great enterprises, and today his financial fingers are mixed up in every profitable under taking on this side the globe. He owns railroads, factories, mines and steam ships. He has steel plant 800 miles up the Yangtze Kiang, which Is capitalized at s15,000,000, and has mountains of iroh and great beds of coal not far away. It was Sheng who had much to do with organizing the telegraph for China. It was he who built the railroad from Han now to Pekin, and he got the concession for the Americans to construct a road from Canton to Hankow.
 Sheng Kung Pao Is one of the leading officials of this empire. He succeeded Ii Hung Chang as the government minister of commerce, and he is now the vics minister of the. imperial board of com munications. He is also a chief owner of the China Merchants Steamship com pany, and Is largely interested in the Chinese Imperial bank. He Is by all odds the best financial authority among the Celestials, and his ideas as to the present conditions are of great value
