This became known yesterday

Of telling even approximately how
much wealth the mysterious little

The $149,OOO,0O0 is rather more

general estimate of his estate was
$lOO,000,000. The American, sum-

information from the atmospherenc

All of her late predictions have
been made to a friend. Mrs. Bliss

She could not tell where this next

total of the agricultural output of
the United States in 1890, when the
population of the country was Co.,
100000, while the population of the
south at present is 27,500,000.
The south has $4,000 square miles
of bituminous coal lands, as against
