HOBBIES OF WEALTAY MEN. Pleastires Which None but Million- aires Can Enjoy. GEORGE CHILD'S COSTLY CLOCKS A Fortune in Orchide—Palmer's Log Houses and Jersey Cows—Fast Horses—What Bonner Has Paid for Steeds. Frank G. Carpenter writing to the Chicago Tribune says: George W. Childs’ hobbies are many and he is so charitable that no one begrudges him the money he spends upon them. He has, it is said, $30,000 worth of clocks, and one of his clocks cost him 86,000 at auction. This clock belonged to Prince Napoleon. It weighs two tons and is nine feet high. Another of his clocks belonged to David Rittenhouse, and it cost 8640 in 17 when it was made. He has a French clock which cost 8800, and is is made of marble and bronze. Autographs form another of Childs’ hobbies, and he has, perhaps, the finest autograph collection in the United States. He has original manuscripts and letters from nearly every noted statesman in the world, and his auto- graph collection embraces about twenty thousand nam Like most of the rich autograph collectors, of to-day, he does not care for mere signatures, and a letter, to be of value, must contain some sentiment character- istic of the writer. Among his letters are some from Charles Dickens, Thomas Hood, Nathaniel Hawthorne and others, Many of them are directed to Mr. Childs himself, and every one of the is worth many times its weight in gold. He has the autographs of all the pres dp.m beginning with the last letter George Washington ever wrote, and these autographs ure bound into a book with a president’s portrait on each page and an autographic letter of his on' the page opposite. He has many fine pic- tures. ould, the Vauderbilts, George I Seney and W. T. Walters of Baltimore own ‘many ra aintings. Walters bought the other day a little picture, not move than eight by ten inches in #i which cost him $7,000. Coccoran’s }n-n pictures are in the Corcoran gul- ery. tandard Oil Millionaire Flagier, of Cleveland, from his earliest days has had an ambition to keep a hotel, and the offspring of this desire crops out in the million-dollar hotel hich he is now building in St. Augustine, Fla. Tt will cover four acres of ground. It is the finest hotel in the United States, but Flagler is suid to be worth at least 000,000, and he can afford it. Erastus Corning’s hobbies are butterflics and orchids. He has one of the largest col- lections of butterflies in the United States. There are 50,000 of them, and he has been fifteen years gathering them together. Deacon White, the of Wall street, who is now ngress, in addition to being an art collector, is a star-gazer. He has an nhm-rmmn on the top of his house in Brooklyn, and his hobby is astronomy and amateur telegraph Wade, of Cleveland, is another h _man who likes to talk by telegraph, and who, in addition to his other accomplishments, boasts of taking the first daguerrcotype taken west of the Allegheney mounta Benator John Kenna, of West Virgini dotes on amateur photography, whil Pierre Lorillard, the rvich tobucconist, spends fortunes on horses and dogs makes o hubhy of pheasants and ¢ ens. Senator Tom Palmer of Michigan has a hobby in his Jersey cows and Per- cheron horses. His butter costs him about $2 a pound, but he has the proud satisfaction of know ing that he raises it himself. His Jersey cows are imported from Europe, he going there to pick out the animals. He is president of the Percheron Horse society of the United States and has horses in his stable which it would take several times a cougressman’s salary to buy. His wife has some of the finest dogs in the coun- try, and her Blenheim spaniels are so delicate that they have to be fed with a spoon. Aunother of Palmer’s hobbies is his log house and farm near Detroit. He has spent $100,000 in improving the farm, and the log house cost 812,000 to build. Thereisa lakein frontof it which was dug with pick and shovel, and a steam engine is constantly omplo‘)(-d in pumping the stream which makes the water fall which fills it. Roscoe Conkling’s hobby has been athletics, and he has a gymnasium in his house. When he was’ a senator in ‘Washington he got Matt Carpenter to /! round Vof boxing with im’and punished him terribly. Matt said nothing, but a few days later called with 1\%|'iuml of herculean proportions. He proposed to Conkling that his friend take a fuuk at the gynasium, and Conk- ling gladly consented to take a hox with the stranger. The stranger buffeted him worse than he had Senator Carpen- ter, and it opened Conkling’s eyes a day or 80 later that the stranger that he had boxed with under an assumed name was in realty one of the noted pugilists of the country. Jay Gould is very fond of books, and Jay Cooke dotes on ‘candy and flowers. {u said that & clerk has orders to put up two sticks of mint candy on his desk every morning, and that he sucks these as he thinks finance, A. T. Stewart was a connoisseur in wines, and he was as rticwar about his table as was ex- resident Arthur or Sam Ward. He had an agent traveling in Europe to secure the best wines for him, and he made this man a present of several thousand dollars for getting him an invoice of Prince Metternich’s Blue Seal. Nearly all of our noted millionaires have French cooks and Stewart’s cook was one of the best. Secretary Whitney’s house at Washington hus a range as big as that of a hotel, and he has a very cheerful wuy of HL‘&\I g champagne at the most his receptions, Theodore Have- me_vm-, the rich sugar factor, has a hobhy of stock farming, and his moun- tain side furm has a barn 263 feet long, with a mrrmguwny running through it. As on Palmer’s farm, which I spoke of, steam is here used for everything, and Havemoyer, like Palmer, has nearly a huudred Jersey cows, with u Jersey bull which cost him #5,000. Phil Armour has a mission school which contains 1,100 children. Armour has also a kindergarten in one of his schools, and it is said that he has given more than $400,000 to such ends. Robert has spent $400,000 upon his hobby of fast horses. Senator Sanford is now erecting a stable in Washingto: which is to cost $20,000, and his horses upon the Palo Alto farm have a value running into millions. Pierre Lorillard s0ld off #150,000 worth of horses a year and has owned some of the finest steeds in the Uumted States. Congressman Scott of Penusylvania has a stock farm of 800 acres and he keeps this full of fine horses. He has a race track, | think. under cover and one of his horses cost $35,000. Senator Palmer of Michigan does not allow a cross word to be used upan his stock farm and he tells bis men in working the horses that they should give them water to drink when- ever they want a drink themselves, Palmer has his stock so trained that tne colts will come up and rub their noses against him when he comes into the field. and he says that the average horse has considerably more sense than the average man. He was led into Keeping Percheron horses by his admiration of a picture of Rosa Bon- heur, who had taken these horses for her models. He was thus led into the study of her Percheron horse and he says that his horse is the best breed in world for general purposes, A.J. Cas- sutt is anoth Pennsylvania railrond who keeps fast horses. He has raced for years under the assumed name of Kelso, and he has a stock farm of 700 acres. W. W. Astor bought eleven mares at Lorillard’s sale and he payed £21,000 for them and some of the largest purchases at this sale made by a millionaire named Higgihs, who lives on the Pacitic slope and who has farm of 4,000. Another millionaire e fancier of the west is Lucky Bald- who made a fortune in the copper ranch near h contains ,000 acres and it is more than twelve miles square. Baldwin has spent a half mlll‘mn dollars upon it, and like ator Palmer, he has a hobby for cheron horses. FRANK G. CARPENT! PR, =S CHASED BY A TIDAL WAVE, How An American Gir) Astonished the Society of Lima. Bella Lee Dunkisen: One morning 1 rode my favorite donkey down to the onned my favorite bathing suit hed from my bathing house with t of an unleashed hound. Never before was [ in higher spirits—neyer on that beach had I felt a su; mer com- pliment to me in this particular art in which I had been told T had attained a perfection which had made the Lima- nian ladies look on with envious dis- dain, because, as I was about to run for o headlong spring into the deep surf from an elastic plank, the president ol the republic and his suite waved a courtly recognition and x-numuuguumnt all saying in chorus: “Brava! Braval’ My water pranks that morning were numerous and ambitious. So to speak, my entire acquiatic reportoire was ¢ hausted, and the literal interpretation of this phrase was not behind the nata- torial gymnastics, for while my amateur gymnustics was being watched by the ruler of Peru and his ministers 1 did what is known in our clin “treading™ act, opening with m est notes in the clear morning air un- disturbed by o single sound save the monotonous moan of the ocean surf: *Oh, come with me, my love, r fairy home shall be e water spirits rove In the decp, deep se: With the lofty snow- the Andes ng abruptly . from the shore to a height of over 16,000 feet and more for a sounding board, it may be imagined that a romantically disposed and tuneful mermaid from the north could make those Pacific canons ring, as [ certainly did on that eventful morning many rs ago, and yet on that particular day the sun was not bright, but an ominous gloom was in A heavy cloud hung over horillos and the sea. The ve spectreless, The ice and snow at the its did not, as usual, rise as buri The day \ms simply bald. But this atmospl change—for it was solely that—e ume nly and was an ominous pressage. That [ and felt when I was a few hundred ds from shore, when, as by a fash, a dark pall shot across the en- tive vault of the heavens, and then I was alone to seaward with 100 voices shouting: ‘‘Senorita! Senorita! Trem- blores (earthquake)!” What should I do? Had I not scen the awful destruction wrought by the second chapter of the earthquake—the tidal waye—the sweeping away of an- cient cities, the littered sea with hun- dreds of human bodies afioat after the mysterious convulsion, so often a visitor of the tropics, the water beating against the rocky wallsof the Cordileras; and, was I, too, to be dashed against thatre’ morscless barriear? The sea subsided to a perfect stillness, en inte! darkness overspread all at the very moment of noonday, and all that ilH]mul mewith a knowledge that the earth was inhabited at all were the fre- quent cries from the be: **Make haste! make hastel For God's sake, make haste!” Then came the sickening, indeed, almost overpow e, odor of the sulphuretted water, th myriad hub- Dbles fllled with the moxious subterran- ey guses rising around me, a con- scfiunncsa of hung swiftly borne away from the land and the awful contempla~ tion of certain death. Now I was be- yond the reach of humon voices, and 3yron’s *Darkness” became a graphic reality. As everybody called toface what seem inevitable death declares, the period of suspense was awful in fancies, retros- pections and duration. So it was with me, how long I could not say, but with- out a moment’s notice I found myself flat on the bottom of the ocean. I re- alized my opportunity, knowing that a return eddy had caught me at a favor- able moment and saved me from the sur- face of the receding waters. Gone they had, miles away, to gather force and material for the monster tidal wave, twenty feet of perpindicular height, which was shortly to be hurled against the western coast of South America, de- stroying hundreds of lives and millions of dollars of public add private prop- erty. Sol picked myself up without ado and began to make my way over the slimy boulders, the soft mud and after- wards the pebbly bottom. It was a race for life, a race between my bare feet and agile extremities and the lordly tidal wave, whose loud roar I could hear behind meithere was little light to guide my footsteps that morning. Often I was knee deep in mud, and then I would tumble over on some slippery rock, and again, weary from exhaustion, I would pause for breath. Yet still louder and louder the roar! At last I found u firm I'oollng on the beach, but ot before the avant-courier of the ma- ic wall from the sea w: with a few inches of wate I stood up and faced the aquatic giant defiantly. But it was too late. My only safety re- mained in my laying flat wtih my face downward and awaiting its coming with composure and trustin God. All the beach spectators had fled preciptately and [ was alone. Speculation, however, was ouly for & moment. Suddenly lifted by the wave not yet full in its vipeness, T was deposited in the flower pot of a neighboring cottage to our own, and in another minute was salely housed in the w cellar of that man- shion, where champaign was quaffed, with the entire fumily gathered there, while the very roof was torn from tho hou# and its upper apartments deluged with water, The cel , expressly built for such an occasion, was securely hat- tened down, and but little wet pfll'cul- ated through the crevices. Tn & few moments all wasoverand we had only to vount up the ruin, i Luxurious Christmas Presents.

Ak s Felled by Lightning. “The average cowboy,” said a cattle- dealer recently, ‘*does not bother him- sell about religion. The creeds and isms that weary civilization are as a sealed book to a ranger, who is dis- tinctively a fatalist. He believes that when the time comes for him to go over the range nothing can_stand death off, and no matter what danger he faces previous to that time, no deadly harm can come. The arch destroyer of these boys 1s lightning. More cowboys meet death from this source than from any other. “One night when a party of us were driving a herd across the Staked plains, we had hardly made camp when a flerce storm. accompanied by terri thunder and lightning, settlnd ov head. The crashes of thunder 1 shook the earth, and lightning sceme todance from the tips of the cattle’s horns. You see, when the cattle be- come wet the steam arising from them ms a body of superheated air that i upward 200 or 300 feet. In the ab- sence of a jree, mountain, or any better conductor, the lightning runs down this column of heated air. It is then almost sure to be attracted by the steel guus ings carried by the cowboys. “Wel , that wild night the whole gang was kept busy preventing a stam- pede. One of the party was Woods, as good a man as ever saddled a bronco. Jim had a premonition that his end was near at hand. All day he had been talking about his old mother back in the east and the girl he used to go with. It was & sure sign that Jim had the blues. Well, when the storm broke Jim went about his work with a white face and listless manner. In the gang, and stationed next to Jim, was a young Texan, loud mouthed and blasphemous. Every time a loud peal of thunder sounded and the lighting flAshed un- usually bright the young bravado raised his clenched fist to the sky and mut- tered a volley of oaths. iGo on, yer old pelter, ye can ’t hit us. We're thunder-proof, we air.’ “‘As quick as thought Jim pulled up alongside the sacrilegious scamp, and pulling a six-shooter shoved it into the blasphemer’s face. His face was white as chalk as he screeched: ‘Gitaround on the other side, ye miserable skunk, or I'll shoot ye full of lead. Ye can’t include mo in none of your defis. My time’s comin’ soon enuf without speshully invitin’it. Now stampede.’ “The Texan fairly flew, and not a sec- ond too soon, for the flash of lightning and the thunder crash that followed took the soul of Jim Woods along with it. One of the boys hurried to the spot and lmnl.l Jim and his pony stiff and dead.” —_—— Salt Rheum.
