THE RICHES OF MARK HANNA. Made Money While Making a President and Spent His Lite in an Unrelenting Chase for Dollars—$8,000,000 at 8 Per Cent. Cleveland, O., July 29—With a Invested | fortune of certainly $5,000,000. and | probably nearer $8,600,000, earned by 38 years at hard work as the iron ore which yielded it, and inv-sted so as to realizs 8 Senator | Mark Hanna is out of business. His income from the properties a8 invested will undeubtedly bs suffi- cient to provide him with all the luxuries he may wish to indulge— Presidents, Governors, National Con- vention delegates and Senatorships —as the following figures will show: Hanna's fortune (conservative esti mate), $5,000,000 Interest at $ per cent will yield: Yearly, $400,000; monthly, $33,333;. weekly, $7,692; daily, 1,099; hourly, $45; 75 cents a minute and 1.15 cents per second per csut. These figures were obtained from persons who know about Mr. Han- na’s money affairs. They show that Mr Hanna bas improyed his oppor- | tunity, even while he has been man- | ipulating the polities of the country. When he first came up out of his zine and coal mines, grimy with the dust and profit of 35 years’ hard work, to become the boss of the republican party and sponsor for Mr. McKinley, he was worth about $2,000,000. That was a scant four | years ago. His fortune has conse |; quently more than doubled in thoee four years, and he can well afford to retire with the assurance that he will not have to cut prices for dele- gates to the convention of 1900, as they say he did in 1896. Aside from tbe dividends from his holdings in iron, steel, coal, shipping and Spanish American investments in which he is interested, Mr. Hanna has pretty nearly everything a man can want to make life less irksome than poor men usually findit. He has never been much of an idler or man of leisure. His persistent and unrelenting chase for the dollar, a desire to best his competitors in trade, has left him but little time to establish a reputation as “a good fellow” or a social leader. Yet Mr. Hanna has the means to gratify such tastes, did he possess them. Here are some of his means | of enjoyment: ‘ | Ahouse on Lake avenue, in this | city. A winter house at Thomasville, Ga. A steam yacht that can steam 21 knots an hour. A cook he pays $6,000 a year. Pictures selected with rare taste i that would briog $100,000 of any | connoisseur’s money. | son drives.

Kanene City Times, 27th. “Honest John” Salisbury, a prom- inent stockman and for years one of the most prominent democratic poli- | ticians in Kansas City, cut his throat | with a pen knife yesterday evenin jat his residence, 2028 East Nine | teeath street, at six o'clock in an at- | | tempt to take bie life. Though still alive late last night, one of the physicians who attended |him, Dr. L. B Robinson, said there was no possible hope of recovery, and that death was certain to ensue before morning. The deed was committed during religious dementia The instrument | used was a small pen knife, and with | this he slashed his throat four times. | The last stroke almost entirely sev- ered the jugular Physicians | Were promptly called and hastily |stopped the flow of blood and | brought together the severed jugu vein. | lar vein. bury regained consciousness and | spoke, asking that those in attend- | ance leave the room. Suddenly be grasped at his throat and by his violent exertions again broke openthe wound. There is no | possible hope of recovery, his physi- | cians say. The deed was entirely unexpected by those about him. He has been up and about as usual of late. But for the past year his mind has been affected and it is said that once be- fore, nearly a year ago, he attempt- ed suicide, but was prevented just intime. His health has not been very good. Since last summer friends obeerved that his mind was affected, and at times his aberration assumed the form of a distinct relig- ious dementia. At the residence last night all in- formation is refused, except the statement that the patient was rest- ing well, and doing as well as could be expected. The information that John Salisbury had attempted sui- cide came as a great surprise to the friends who heard it last night. No reason could be assigned, except some temporary aberration. Beware of Food Samples. Quite recently in New York two |deaths occurred from poisoning by the use of powders sent to the vic- tims by mail. In Leavenworth, Kan., the other day nearly every doctor in !town was called to attend the chil- |dren who had gathered up, eaten and keen made ill by saniples of an article left at houses by canvassers | for advertising purposes. Alum baking powders have always | been favorite articles for this sampl- ing business. Yet there is nothing |more liable to lead to danger than the practice of using the various | samples of baking powder left at the |door. They are presented by irre- | sponsible parties, in appearance are jnot distinguishable from arsenic, land indeed, in Indiana some time | since, one package was found, after it had caused the death of the house | wife, to have been mixed with that | poison. | Itis safer to refuse all samples of | food or medicine offered at the door. { | peddled or sampled.

Newport, News, Va. July 30.— | There are thirty cases of what is be | lieved to be genuine yellow fever at |the National Soldiers’ Home near | Hampton and three deaths from the | disease were reported to day. There | were seyeral deaths at the | institution yesterday, but it can not be stated to-night that all of them | were caused by yellow fever. Newport News and Hampton will quarantine the |home to morrow morning. The gov- | ernment authorities at Old Point | have already adopted this step and no strangers are allowed to enter the reservation. Quarantine Officer Hobson of this | port went to the soldiers’ home to- night and verified the statement that there are now thirty cases of the disease at the home and that there were three deaths from the malady to day. While no one outside of the sol- diers’ home knew anything about the existence of yellow fever until to-day, it is said that the disease made its appearance three days ago. The most rigid quarantine regula- other against soldiers spread of the malady. The news has created great excite- ment in Newport News, Old Point and Hampton and the most vigorous measures will be resorted to to pre- vent its spread. There are 4,000 old veterans at the home and several large excursion parties went last week. Washington, D. C., July 30.— Sur geon General Wymun, of the Marine hospital service, was informed Sat- urday night of an outbreak of what was feared was yellow fever at the | National soldiers’ home at Hampton, and immediately dispatched sur- geons in the service from Wilming- ton, N. O., Norfolk and Washington to investigate the sickness there, report on its character to authorities | vent the spread of the disease. Dr. Wyman himself will go to Hampton in a few days to take charge of the werk of preventing a spread ef the disease if it develops |into genuine yellow fever. Two ef the surgeons dispatched to the home reported to-day that the symptoms | very much resemble those of yellow | fever, and that while they could not | be pesitive in their diagnosis as yet, | they were inclined to the belief that | the disease was the dreaded yellow | jaek. | The government will adopt strict | precautionary measures to prevent a | spread of the disease. and will fight |its progress with all the skill and | resources at its command A Narrow Escape.
