J. D. ROCKEFELLER'S WEALTH.
Enormous Amount of Money His, or
Under His Centre!.
News that John D. Rockefeller has
succeeded in starting a $2,500,000,000
mining combination naturally evokes
the question. How much money is he
worth and how much money does he
control?
Well informed gossip has credited
him with a. fortune of $1,000,000,000.
He is the chief stockholder of the
Standard Oil Company. He has a con
trolling interest in more than half a
dozen other corporations of enormous
dividend earning capacity. In addi
tion he has heavy minority Interests
in nearly a score of other rich enter
prises. According to financiers Mr.
Rockefeller has controlling interests
in the following corporations:
Standard Oil

Calumet and HecJa

He has heavy minority interests In
ITnited States Steel. Colorado Fuel and
-Hi on. United States Leather. Consolidated
j'CIas. International Harvester, New York
C.-ntml. Pennsylvania. Missouri Pacific.
; Wisconsin Central, and others.
Among the officers of all these
corporations the name of John D.
Rockefeller figures only once as
president of the Standard Oil Com
pany. In Missouri Pacific Colorado
Fuel and Iron, and American Linseed
stocks the name of John D. Rockefel
ler Jr. stands in the directorate as the
representative of the father. William
Rockefeller is another name probably
to represent his brother's Interests on
occasion. No one may guess how
many names of confidential clerks do
service in this capacity.
MORGAN'S COAT OF ARMS.
Financier Credited With Remark Both
Humorous and True.
J. Pierpont Morgan is gifted with a
great deal more of humor than is gen

London, he was introduced to a lady
who made some pretensions to peer
age. "Pardon me," said this lady,
haughtily, "to which Morgans do you
belong?" "Oh, we are an independent
branch," replied Mr. Morgan, slyly,
"but we date back to the Norman
kings." "Ah, then you have a coat of
arms?" Mr. Morgan dug down Into
his pocket and brought forth a shin
ing American $20 gold piece. "This,"
he said, "is our coat of arms; a few
other families have adopted the same
emblem. But," he continued, confi
dentially, "we are gathering them in
as fast as possible."

HOW MAKAROFF MET OEATH.
Japanese Knew His Method of Sail,
ing, and Laid the Trap.
A letter from Moscow to the Lon
don Telegraph says: "Admiral Mak
arofiT, unaccustomed to maneuver a
large squadron in so difficult a place
as Port Arthur, frequently had such
slight mishaps as collisions of ships,
which, fortunately, entailed no seri
ous consequences. Finally he drew
up and stereotyped a plan of maneu
vers, according to which ships had
to form in line of battle outside the
harbor, each one taking up a specified
place, and from this arrangement he
never departed. The Japanese,
noticing this uniformity, anchored a
contact mine in the position assigned
to the Petropavlosk, and in this way
the disaster was brought about A
few minutes before the catastrophe
an officer twice requested the admiral
to seek for contact mines, but he
was told to mind his own business.
The officer repeated the warning a
third time and Makaroff ordered him
to go away immediately ur.iTer threat
of punishment"
RELIGION AND THE LAW.
One Effect of Enactment of the Mas

At the Columbia university com

and under his breath, between

chusetts legislature had granted the
right to the Young Men's Christian as
sociation to confer the degree of bach
elor of laws. "Too bad that 'Ben'
Bntler did not live to know of it" he
observed. "It would have been a
pleasant reflection to him that the bay
state, always first in public virtue,
should recognize the connection be
tween religion and law." "Precisely
so, rejoined his neighbor. "And now
it is possible to place on a Boston
tombstone the words, 'Here lies a law
yer and a Christian.' without going to
the trouble of putting two men into
one grave."

United States Supreme Court. He

fore passed what some have called
the "dead line" of active life
"I am no older than I was twenty

Their Right to Smoke.
Jerome Hart tells this story: "On
the train, between Jaffa and Jerusa
lem, an elderly American woman ob
jected to the smoking going on around
her. She grabbed hold of a uniform
ed railway guard who was going
through the carriage and shrilly set
forth her objections. He very civilly
replied that there was no rule against
smoking in the carriages.
"'Then there ought to be,' she re
torted, 'when ladies travel on the
trains.'
" 'But the Turkish ladies who tray
el on our trains all smoke themselves,
replied the guard.
" 'Do they, indeed?' replied the old
lady, acidly; 'but American women do
not smoke.
'"Very true, madam,' replied the
guard, but you are not In America;
you are in Turkey' still with much
civility.
"'I don't care if I am,' hissed the
old lady, fiercely, 'and I don't care if
the Turkish women do smoke. They
ought not to, so there!'
"'Perhaps they ought not to,' said
the guard, with unruffled courtesy,
but they do.'
"The old American lady looked at
him hopelessly, gasped, and subsided."

JAPAN'S MISRULE IN KOREA.
Probability That She Will Avoid Far-
mer Mistakes.
Once again Japan finds herself in
control of Korea. "land of the morn
ing freshness." This is by no means
a new experience for Japan. It was
in the third century A. D. that the
empress regent of Japan herself led
an expedition against Korea. From
that time to the end of the fourteenth
century, with a few Interruptions, the
relations of Korea to Japan were
those of vassal to suzerain. Then
China came into ascendancy and from
that time on up to the war of 1894
she retained the principal control of
the hermit kingdom. That war end
ed Chinese suzerainty in Korea and
gave to Japan the control of a coun
try which it had coveted for centur
ies. But the Japanese showed little wis
dom or moderation in their treat
ment of the Koreans. The admirer
of the Jap must pass over the period
from 1894 to 1897 with closed eyes
lest his confidence In the intelligence
of Japanese statecraft receive a se
vere blow. Korea was ruled with a
high hand. Business and political
morality were thrown to the wind, the
public offices became more corrupt
than before, if such a thing were, pos
sible in a country cursed for cen
turies by a system of official corrup
tion for which it would be difficult to
find a parallel.
At the same time a series of the
most drastic reforms was instituted,
and Korea shuddered with horror at
the desecration of its most revered
customs and traditions. Japan, flat
tered with its brilliant military suc
cess, became irrational. She insisted
upon the abolition of the Korean
method of wearing the hair. The
king was made to cut off his topknot
and the people were compelled to do
the same. The queen, a bitter enemy
of Japan, was murdered, the Japanese
minister being an accessory to the
outrage. Then the terrified king fled
to the Russian embassy for protec
tion, a mob of Koreans murdered the
agents of Japan in the higher official
positions, and the uprising swept Ja
pan from the Korean courts. Russia
become the dominant influence.
Now the fortunes of war have giv
en Korea to the Japanese once more.
It is to be hoped that they will profit
by their former experience and rule
Korea with moderation. The art of
governing a colony lies in non-interference
with the non-essentials and
concentration upon the essentials.
The Japanese are quick to learn. It
is to be hoped that in their future
treatment of Korea they will not
make the mess of things they did In
1894-'7.

Work as Organizer Completed; Veil
Moftke Waited for War.
Talk of army reorganization recalls
a story told of Yon Moltke, the great
German military master, who held
that, when war begins the work of the
organizer ceases. In 1870. a few days
after the mobilization of the Germany
army had been ordered, a friend of
Yon Moltke, who was anxious to see
him on important business, called up
on him in some trepidation of mind,
expecting to find him overwhelmed
with work. He was shown into the
count's study and found him lying on
a sofa reading a French novel. "You
could not have come at a better time,
my dear fellow," was his welcome.

pleasure, or to attract the attention
of other women. The object for which
women wear decorations Is to en
hance their attractiveness and beauty
to men, not to themselves, or to each
other. And as 'long as men care to
have women's hats decorated witb
feathers and express their approval
by admiration bestowed, just so long
will the custom endure."
Does Mr. bcott know women as
well as he does birds? From her arti
cle in National Magazine.

TIME TO GET A LAWYER:
Texan's Remark Rather Reflected en
Legal Adviser.
That well-known legal light of the
state of Washington, James Hamilton
Lewis, Is fond oi telling of the vicissi
tudes he experienced during the days
when he had first hung out his
shingle.
"In Boise .City, Idaho," says Mr.
Lewis, "I was once called upon to
undertake the defense of a Texan who
during a visit to our city had in the
course of an altercation rather seri
ously done up one of our prominent
citizens.
"During the progress of the trial I
observed that our Texan friend seem
ed not in the least worried as to the
outcome. Things looked bad for him
and I told him so. Yet he didn't wor
ry a bit One day I said to him:

matter a trifle too complacently. I
desire to impress upon you the fact
that there is a very fair chance that
you'll be jailed for this.'
"Whereupon, for the first time, the
Texan began to evince signs, of
alarm.
" 'Say, sport,' said he, 'is that right?'
"'It certainly is,' I replied.
"At this the Texan began to stride
about the room, all the time pulling
fiercely at his big mustache. Finally
be stopped and, bringing down his fist
upon the table between us, he yelled:
"'Then, by hell, I've got to get a

Station in a Cemetery.
The cemetery at Brookwood. near
Woking, is probably the only one in
England that has a railway station in
side the grounds. This is used chiefly
for the purposes of the crematorium
there. It is a pretty little station on
the single line that leads from the
London and Southwestern railway into
the cemetery, and it stands in the
Church of England portion of the
ground. There is a fair-sized platform,
with a waiting room upon it, and a
small "mortuary" if the structure
may be so termed. Close by stands
the church, at the end of the plat
form, so that there is little distance
to go for those mourners who come
to see the last rites carried out

The illustration shows one of the strange and primitive weapons still
used by the Tibetans in warfare. It is of leather, In layers, and bound
about with metal rings, and was captured by the British after the fight
near Gyanggtse. Stones were piled under the muzzle to set the neces
sary elevation. Naturally, the gun is more noisy than dangerous.

Was a Poor Guesser.
An active city ward worker, who
when he promises to support a maa,
will do It In spite of everything, was
sought out to secure his co-operation1
before a certain election.
After the election was over and the
votes all counted and the candidate
was found to have been beaten by
about three to one, and as one of his
lieutenants could count up the names
of many more persons who had prom
ised to vote for S than he had re
ceived votes, concluded that the work
er, who had an Impediment in his
speech, had "failed to connect"
"I say," said the lieutenant looking
disappointed, "why didn't you support
S , as you agreed to?"
"Never pr-pr-promised to," replied
the worker.
"Yes, you did," returned the other,
emphatically.
"When d-dld ir

SPORT OF ELEPHANT HUNTING.
Amusement That la Full ef Excite
ment and Danger.
A member of Archibald IJutter's re
cent exploring expedition along the
British East African frontier in his
report gives some glimpses of ele
phant hunting. He says: "Butter,
while hunting in the thick forest, had
a narrow escape. An infuriated cow
elephant charged him in an alley
walled in by impenetrable under
growth. His shots failed to turn her.
and she got right over'him as he at
tempted to wriggle out of signt. While
she searched around with her trunk.
Butter gave her both barrels of his .
rifle from underneath, which caused
her to depart, luckily without tread
ing on him."
Later in the journey he records:
"Mohamed showed me five elephants'
tails, the former proprietors of which
LC&LLAKP. TVZEDO BUSK
were lying dead in the bush. On the
march the caravan had suddenly
found itself in the midst of a herd of
elephants, and (so Mohamed declar
ed) they had been obliged to clear the
front by shooting five elephants to let
the camels through! The Somali is
as keen on elephant-hunting as any
one. so I had my own opinion on the
subject"
Again comes this report: "Rutter
and Duff had an exciting time with a
solitary elephant, which charged them
repeatedly in a place where it was not
too easy to dodge. His splendid tusks,
weighing over ISO pounds each, were
Butter's trophy."
Woeful Lack of Confidence.
Wilton Lackaye tells of a Chicago
woman about to wed who was one day
amusing herself by going over the
marriage service. To a friend who
discovered her. prayer hook in hand,
the Windy Ciiy girl said:
"I always make it a point to do this,
for no matter how well you may have
known a part in the past it should
always be rehearsed before the piece
is revived." Then, rather playfully,
she read the words, "Till death do us
part."
Whereupon her "friend interrupted:
"How foolish that is, isn't it. dear?
Sounds like one hasn't any confidence
in the courts!"
How Barnum Got a Front Seat
Rev. Dr. Robert Collyer, New York's
famous octogenarian preacher, Is
fond of telling this story:
"One Sunday morning shortly after -
I had entered the pulpit i got up and
said:
"'I see in the congregation, a good
way back a man who always gives me. '
a gool seat whenever Igo to see him
and his. I want to reciprocate his
kindness. Let him come ap front
"And when the congregation turned
as one man to see who was making
his way up the aisle they saw none
other than P. T. Barnum."
Very Likely.
During the civil war a fine looking
negro went into the Union lines on
the Potomac and reported himself for
work.
"Where are you from?" asked ihe
officer on duty.
"Culpeper Court House, sah."
"What's the news down there?"
"Nothing, massa. 'cent dar's a maa
down dar lost a mighty good and valu-
able nigger dis morning, and I reckon
afore aight"
