GIVING HIS F0RTUNE AWAY
Plans of a ( fclrsco Pallaa throplst,

to Follow.
Inside the next six months, before Dr.
J. K. Pearsons of Chicago reaches his
SOth bifttidar. he means to have dis
posed of the remainder of his one largr
furluue, tho bulk of which he has given
.v,. t.. twonty year. This
has rallied much comment u
lth tha reault that Chicago's famous
philanthropist occyples only aocond placa
In tha public mind to Peary and Cook.
llow much haa he been worth?
What has been his yearly Income T .
Mow much haa ho given to colleges and
missionary enterprises?
llow much baa ho given that has never
been advertised or heard of?
How much has he left to give away be
fore tha time he haa set when ho will again,
aa when a young man, stand before the
world empty handed, his coffers void and
his bank hook blank?
All these questions are being dlacussed
by tha curious.
All througl) his life Dr. Pearsons ha
maintained much reserve regarding his affairs,
"To listen la far better than to talk."
has been his motto, and not even to his
closest friends has he confided his exact
financial status. But It has been possible
to get from a number of persons who have
been connected with him In one way or
another a general estimate which, while
it may Dot bo exactly correct, la at leaat
as nearly so as any one except tha philan
thropist himself Is capable of giving.
If twenty . years ago Dr. Pearsons' for
tune was, as It la thought to have been. In
the neighborhood of 85,000.000, his yearly
income, at a most conservative estimate,
must have been at least tM.0.
During tha twenty years his known gifts
to colleges have amounted to 82,674, (WO.
Add to this tha $30,000 gift just made to
the Young Men's Christian association of
Chicago and tha 100,000 which he has an
nounced he will present to Berea college
la tho near future, and which, by the way.
will bo his last college presentation, and
the amount la Increased to I2.6WOOO.
It la taken for granted that his unknown
gifts to charities and persons have been
In tha neighborhood of $2,000,000, at least.
He has, then, within the last twenty
years given away about K.6W.OO0. This
would leave him with $1,801,000 of his In
come still untouched and his capital In
tact aa It was when he retired from busi
ness. Bealdes this he has bla magnificent
suburban home at Hinsdale. This, It la
thought, may be made Into a home for
the crippled children of Chicago, aa Dr.
Pearsons' big heart haa always had a
particularly warm apot for these unfor
tunate mites. -
All this has been a moHt conservative
estimate, but It shows that the Chicago
philanthropist has, to auy the least, a
