BRITISH FORTUNES

quent reference in British and Conti-
mental newspapers to great fortunes in
the United. States. and the inference is
suggested that the possession Of large
fortunes is very rare in Europe.
This inference may be correct where
the comparison is based on Mr.. Rookie
feller's accumulation OF worldly goods.
but from tie viewpoint Of the distribu-
ton OF wealth among individuals the
English at least have no reason to feel
that they play second fiddle to America.
Every day the newspapers contain notices
Of wills probated which show that COM
Portable fortunes are very plentiful in
this country.

a statement of bequests contained in a
single issue of one of the London news
papers. The wills noticed were four and
the estates affected were valued at

DUCHESS CHARITY
WINNING SUCCESS
Londoners Aid Her Efforts
on Behalf of Poor.

London, Dec. 16-The Duchess of Marl-
borough made an enormous success of
her recent sale at Sunderland House of
articles made by the wives of men un-
dergoing terms of Imprisonment. The
duchess knows just how to fatter the
new-rich people. She sends out invita-
tions for an "at home" and the new-rich,
after displaying the card to all their
friends, go to Sunderland House and buy
heavily. Then they go back to their
suburban homes and relate to their en-
vious friends how sweet the duchess
was'' 10 them.
The duchess takes this pet charity of
hers very seriously. She not only comes
into personal contact with the prisoners
wives, but she constantly interviews the
prisoners themselves after their release,
and has managed to find employment for
many of them. A delightful and true
story concerns the duchess and released
burglar whom she interviewed at the
wood-chopping yard at Holloway, where
ex-prisoners are employed Immediately
after emerging from goal.
Have you any plans for the future?'
asked the duchess with her most winning
smile.
''Yus, ma am" said the burglar with
some pride. I've got the plans of two
banks and a blOonlin' post-ofice."

IL ENGLAND DccIininEF

Shades Of Tom Crtbb and Jem Mace!
Has the prize ring in England so declined
that II has no white hope" to pit
against the world, regardless Of color
PugilIsm has for centuries found its con-
genial home in England. 1t long en-
Joyed royal patronage, and its Chick
ems and its "STashers" are a part OF
literature. The peers did not disdain to
put on the gloves with professional
bruisers, and the name of one lives in
popular fame for the rules that still
govern ring bouts.
Time was when the protests OF bishops
and archbishops would not have availed
to prevent a fight in which the whole
populaCe was interested. That they are
effectual now Is due to a reflection Of a
popular distrust of the white mans su-
premacy with Ibis fists-a suggestive
commentary on the lost glories Of Brit

MAYOR OF LONDON
NEEDS Big SALARY
His Function as Official Well
conner Costs Heavily.

London, Dec. 1s.-The lord mayor Of
London costs a lot OF money. He re-
ceives S50,5Oo year In salary. free Of
income tax, but is expected to entertain
lavishly; in fact, when the corporation
in 1873 fixed the amount OF his present
emolument it recommended that the lord
mayor should show hospitality and atten-
ton to the other municipalities OF the
kingdom, the representatives OF the city
guilds. and the trading and commercial
classes of London.
Interest in the heavy pecuniary burden
the lord mayor has to bear is revived
through a motion pending in the city Of
London corporation in regard to the ques-
tion of the lord mayors expenses 'ow-
ing to altered circumstances" Since 1873,
when the matter of the lord mayors sal
ary was last discussed officially, the ex-
penses of the Office have increased enor-
mously
Probably none Of the incumbents Of the
ONCE in recent years has been able to
defray the costs Of the honor out Of his
salary, large as it is. It Is asserted that
one lord mayor spent S150,0OO in his year
of service out OF his own pocket, while
the minimum expenditure is said to be
about $40, 900.

terrible storm of thunder and lightning.

save him and promised II only he once

horse and the proceeds should be spent
in candles in honor OF the saint. The
saint, pleased with so generous an offer.
stayed the storm. and the Cossack
reached home in safety.
This is how he discharged his vow. The
next day he went to the market with a
cock and a horse. His method of sale
was this: He would only sell the two
together, the horse at 30 kopecks (about
Is pence) and the cock at 200 rubles
(about E2o). After a time the Cossack
found a purchaser on these terms, and
faithful to his vow, the Cossack devoted
Is pence to the purchase of candles for
