of his four sisters, indeed, formed one
compact real estate fortune, aggregating
probably not far from S25, 100000. Here.
then, was one of the greatest landowners
in the world. Yet there were few Amer
leans who, until his death, knew that
Wendell had ever existed. We may be
pardoned for not knowing the parvenu
millionaires who have heaped up great
possessions in railroads and industry;
there is no similar excuse for not know
ing the Wendels, who are the Hapsburgs
of the American Atmdndch de Gotha
John D., the bachelor who recently
died, was the last survivor of this noble
American line.
"Wendels,' he once told me proudly,
"owned property in New York a hundred
years before the Astors We're ever heard
of. When Peter Goelet was running his
hardware store in Hanover Square, my
great-grandfather was already Il New
York landowner. And ! still hold the
property he held"
This latter fact furnishes one key to the
Wendell character. John c.. contem-
porary and brother-in-law of John Jacob
Astor. had little deerskin establishment
at 73 Maiden Lane. The old gentleman
who has just died numbered this same

dulged in the luxury of back yard in
the busiest section of New York's great
est thoroughfare. Here for years he and
his sister led fairly bucolic existence.
Their household represented the menage
of old New York-the days when the
family carriage, rather than the automo-
bile, upheld the family dignity. When
the place was built, this section of New
York formed the city's outskirts; even
as residential street Fifth Avenue had
made little urban progress. And the
Wendels, all unconscious of modern
changes, persisted in maintaining the
mid-century regime.
Every morning, promptly at nine, John
d. passed out of the front door, an old
faded umbrella in his hand-rain or shine
Sometimes he would walk down Broad
way to his office; sometimes the worn
family carriage would take him down. He
resented tiercely the progress of fashion
and business. His determination to keep
chickens in his Fifth Avenue yard per-
petually involved him in a feud with the
New York Health Department. Though
the great landowner had to yield on this
point he preserved his garden intact until
his death The most extravagant offers
could not induce him to sell or lease,

building among his choicest possessions.
And it is precisely the same building now
that it was then. If any money has been
spent improving" the property since the
deerskin days, it betrays externally no
evidences of the change. This conserva-
tism was another conspicuous trait of the
Wendell character.

They Felt Sorry
For Him
A FEW years ago a
4 \ shabby old gentle

man used to haunt the picture galleries
of the metropolitan Museum of Art in
New York He never spoke to any one;
no one ever spoke to him. The attendants
at the museum regarded him merely as
one of the human oddities who take
quiet satisfaction in hanging around pub
lie institutions. They felt rather sorry
for him, he apparently had so few friends
and wore such poor clothes.
One morning an ex-locomotive builder
named Rogers died. His will disclosed
that he had left his entire fortune, a sum
estimated at from SS.OOO.OOO to SlO,OOO,-
600, to the Metropolitan Museum.

any Gould or any Vanderbilt, except
William X, possesses to-day; yet the
name of Kennedy arouses no envious SEN
sations in the average American heart.
Real Estate Men Knew
Him, Anyway
or all the ilustrious obscure, however,
no figure presents so many significant
angles as that of John d. Wendell, the
New York property-owner who died
some months ago. The newspapers est-
mated his wealth at S70,0O0,OOO; compe-
tent real estate authorities, few years
Evening star., 1915-10-31

before his death, placed it at $50,OOO,O 900.
Probably both these figures exaggerated
Wendel's fortune. The official apprais-
ers, few months after his death, placed
it at only about S3,OOO,0OO. This figure
signifies nothing, however, since Wendell
three years before his death, transferred
Evening star., 1915-10-31

all his most val
liable property to
his sisters-the
purpose evidently
being to free the
estate from the in
heritance tax. His
holdings and those

@Who is this man Rogers?" the aston
ished trustees asked.
Even so well informed a man as the
president, j. Pierpont Morgan, could not
Immediately place this obscure possessor
OF millions. An investigation disclosed
that he was the shabby-genteel old gen.
tleman who had spent so much time in the
picture galleries. His money, too, turned
out to be the real article; indeed, it is
the Rogers bequest that has permitted
the recent expansion of the Metropol-
itan and placed it among the great
museums of the world.
A few years ago an industrious broker
clerk, named James Henry Smith,
was earning his own living in Wall 4
Street. One day he learned of ~
the death of an uncle whom he
had not seen for many years,
and of whose existence the
well informed public knew n
practically nothing. Yet 4
this uncle left the Wall

ing. In addition to his
legal relations, a plural
wife and polygamous
children. This equivocal
wife has appealed to the
courts for a legal stand
ing that will permit
her to share in her "huS-
bands" estate. Signiti-
cantly enough, this case
has aroused public inter
est because it reveals
the fact that the Nor
mons are still practis-
ing polygamy. The pub
lie overlooks a fact still
more important; that,
according to the evi-
dence introduced, the
deceased left a fortune
variously estimated at
from Sl0,OOO.OOO to
S30,0OO,0 900. That is,
this man Eccles had
accumulated an estate
apparently greater than
that which made John
Jacob Astor's name
famous on two cOnti-
nents; yet how many
of us overheard the name
of Eccles until his unsa-
worry domestic affairs re-
ceived thispublic airing?

Unknown Milli0naires

V7E can hardly pick up news
Nv paper to-day without encoun-
w tering some American million
heard. Death, particularly, is great
revealer. When John Jacob Astor died,
in lS4S, leaving fortune of $4,000, 900,
the size of his accumulations caused an
international sensation. No American
had hitherto succeeded in heaping up
such tremendous hoard Nothing more
strikingly illustrates the economic progress
of the United States than the fact that
Americans with much greater fortunes
than Astor's can now pass their days
in virtual obscurity. When they die, the
newspapers record the event on an inside
page. Only some sensational circumstance
about the will discloses the fact that they
were exceedingly rich. Seventy-fve years
ago an American who possessed a million
dollars was household word, while to-day
he is a most commonplace person.
