WEALTH OF INDIAN RAJAH.
Sayajl Roo Known as Rockefeller of
India.
It is belioved that Sayajl Roo. tho
rajah of Baroda, Is the possessor of
wealth equal If not superior to that of
John D. Rockefeller. Ho was educat
ed in an English university and his
peoplo arc well governed. Much of
his vast riches Is In tho for,m of pre
cious stones. His wife owns the most
famous diamond necklace In tho world.
It is worth $12,000,000 and is made up
of 200 stones, each tho size of a hazel
nut. She- also has a collarette of 500
perfect diamondst nono less than twen
ty carats. In the treasure chamber Is
n carpet four square yards in surface,
made up entirely of ropes of diamonds,
pearls and rubies. It required $4,
000,000 worth of gems and threo years
of labor. Tho long corridors of tho
palace are lined with marbles and
nyx of incalculable value. Tho pal
ace is steam heated and electric ele
vators are placed at frequent intervals.
Bronzes, paintings, statuary, all im
ported, and worth many millions of
dollars, are scattered throughout tho
royal dwelling.
REJOICES IN HIS LIBERTY.
Former Canadian Statesman Will
Stick to Journalism.
When Sir Wilfrid Laurier first
formed his government in Canada ho
made Mr. Tarte minister of public
works. Differences of political opinion
subsequently arose and Mr. Tarto
j-etired. Ho now devotes himself ex
clusively to his profession as a Jour
nalist and sits in tho reporters' ,al
lory of tho Canadian house of com
mons. Ho recently remarked: "I am
happy and prospering In my own
legitimato newspaper lino. I am free
to do and write what my brain and
conscience dictate. Tho salary of tho
governor general would not tempt mo
to shoulder again tho burden of a min
isterial portfolio." Mr. Tarto was at
one time tho chief organizer of tho
Canadian conservative party, but he
transferred his services to the liber
als, with whom ho is now out of touch.

BARRIE'S LIFE OF SUCCESS.
CRIMINALS DO WORK ALONE.
Novelist Has Known Few of the Ordi
nary Struggles.
Mr. Barrie has recently passed his
forty-fifth birthday. It Is somo twen
ty years ago that ho went to London
to win famo and fortune by his pen.
Speaking of tho early days of his ca
reer at n banquet recently Mr. Barrio
said: "I wrote and asked the editor
who had printed Thrums' If I should
come to London, and ho said no, so I
went, laden with charges from my
mother to walk In tho middle of tho
street (they Jump out on you as you
are turning tho comer), never to ven
turo forth after sunset, and always to
lock up everything I who never
locked up anything except my heart in
company." Mr. Barrio's career reads
like a romance. Going to London with
a few manuscripts In his pockets and
countless stories in his head, against
tho advlco of his publisher, at 30 ho
was ono of tho most popular novelists
of tho day, at 40 ono of the most suc
cessful damatists.
ODD MOMENTS OF VALUE.
George Westlnghouse Finds Llttlo
Need for Recreation.
George Westlnghouse of Pittsburg,
who has been chosen to act as trusteo
In tho Equitable society's affairs, con
trols fifteen great manufacturing com
panies, nine In the United States, ono
In Canada and five in Europe. Busl
nes Is his recreation, taking placo of
automobiles and yachts and raco
horses and picture galleries, which
other hard-worked millionaires find
necessary to rest their tired faculties.
As an Inventor ho takes high rank.
On ono occasion, while engineering a
largo financial movement in New York
city, an idea for a mechanical dovico
suggested itself. As soon as posslblo
ho took tho train for Pittsburg, busy
ing himself while en route by drawing
a sketch of tho proposed invention.
On reaching his destination ho drovo
to ono of his factories and, placing tho
drawing In tho hands of a master
workman, said: "Make that." Tho ma
chlno proved to bo a great success.
Gangs and Combinations a Thing of
the Past. f
According to a veteran New York
detective who hns just gone on tho
retired list after nearly forty years of
service, tho trust principle or com
bination of interests does not prevail
among criminals. In tho recital of
his experiences, which ho has Impart
ed to nn Interviewer. It Is set forth
that "gangs" aro by no menns as
common to-day as they were when ho
first took to sleuthing, nnd that "pals"
anjl "partners" aro growing few. Tho
modern criminal prefers to do his
work alone. Ho Is tho lndopcndont
laborer, tho Individual operator, and
having no associates runs loss danger,
for tho saying about honor among
thioves has little to rest on. "Pals'."
nro easily "pumped when thoy do not
anticipate tho need tof tho process by
"squealing." Another thing that tho
retired detective has noted is that
criminals nro better educated now
than they wero In the early 70's. Ho
thinks that crimes which demand in
tho perpetrator a fair education and
considerable knowledge of tho way of
finance and tho ways of tho world aro
more common than they wero.
MAY CHOOSE DE MARTENS.
Value of Hard Work.
All tho records of history and all
tho facts of common experience sup
port tho statement that men do not
die of hard work, but that hard-working
men who shun dissipation and
avoid all wasto of vitality live tho
longest. It was said of William Pitt
that ho died of old ago in his forty
seventh year, worn out, not by hard
work, though ho worked hard, but by
by Inattention to his health nnd by un
phllosophlc worry and chngrin. Presi
dent Roosevelt today in his forty
seventh year displays tho exuberant
energy of youth, not because ho leads
an easy life, but because, while work
ing harder probably than any other
officer of tho government, he pays, as
ho has always paid, close attention to
his health, and avoids tho means of
weakness and debility. Boston Globe.
Good Advice as a Tip.
Melville E. Ingalls, former president
of the Big Four railroad system, tolls
this story of a waiter's tip. Ho was
lunching alone in a Cincinnati cafe.
Near by sat a dignified gentleman who
casually asked his waiter: "How is
business?" Tho man 6ald ho was hot
doing well, upon which tho dignified
Individual expressed regret, saying:
"Personally, I havo always treated
your craft in this house generously."
The waiter was assiduous in his atten
tions nnd helped tho guest on with his
coat. Tho dignified man laid his hand
on the waiter's arm and said: "Young
man, you seem to bo discontented with
your lot and I am going to givo you
tho best tip you over received. Get
Into somo other business." And ho
strolled away, leaving the waiter
speechless."
Easily Explained.
Ex-President Grover Cleveland tells
a story of a Sunday school teacher
who was explaining tho lesson to tho
children in his class. Ho read im
pressively from the Bible:
"And tho last state of that man
was worse than tho first." Then ho
asked:
- "Can any llttlo boy tell mo what
thlB means?"
Up popped a tiny lad In tho rear
seat, who piped forth:
"Please, sir, tho man moved to Jer
sey." -New York Times
Russia Has Able Man In This Student

Frederick DaMartens is Russia's fore
most authority on foreign nffalrs. Ho
has been n permanent member of tho
council of the ministry for foreign af
fairs since 1SC9. Ho accompanied
Prince" Gortchakoff nt tho congress of
Berlin and has represented Russia at
many diplomatic congresses and con
ferences at Brussels, Paris, Rome, Vi

settled tho controversy between Great
Britain and Venezuela, and ho has
served as arbitrator between France
and England; England and Holland;
United States and Mexico. Ho is now
a momber of tho permanent interna
tional court of arbitration at The
Hague.
Bishop Charged With Libel.
Rt. Rov. Robort Codman, Protest
ant Episcopal bishop of tho dioceso of
Maine, is not worrying much over the
fact that ho has been Indicted for
criminal llbol. Tho plaintiff is W. H.
Gardner, a business man of Camden,
Me., who avers that the bishop, in a
letter to a certain rector, called him
"an excommunicated member of the
church." Mr. Gardnor admits that ho
Is no longer connected with tho
church, but denies that he was ex
communicated. Tho bishop regards
tho accusation as potty, though tho
grand Jury of Lincoln county evi
dently agreed with Mr. Gardner.
The "Man's Page."
"An Impatient Correspondent"
wants to know "why there Is no man's
page in tho Sunday paper." Ho com
plains that there is a "woman's page"
and a "children's page" and he indig
nantly insists that man should have a
page. We do not desiro to give out
the impression that helpful sugges
tions are not always welcome, but It
seems to us that "An Impatient Cor
respondent" has worked himself into
a foolish state of excitement. Or do
his boys take the sporting page before
he rta a chana at it?
