American millionaires have been as thick as black -berries in Lond•tu England, recently. For instance live ntult1-millionaires slept at Claridge's Hotel recently. Practical ly the whole of the first floor was given over to these American repre- sentatives of the !louse of Manenon. The millionaires who inscribed their names on the hotel register were: Mr. William Rockefeller, vice-presi- dent of the Standard Oil Company, and railway magnate, whose fortune is estimated at $100,000,000. Mr. Giorge Westinghouse, the in- ventor and proprietor of the famous Westinghouse air brake, who is worth $50,000,000. Mr. George Jay Could. banker and railway owner, worth $80,000,000. Mr. Cornelius , Vanderbilt, railway magnate and inventor, worth $10,- 000,000. Mr. harry Payne Whitney, banker and financier. 510,000,000. A very simple sunt in addition will demonstrate that the elevator boy at Claridge's has enjoyed the novel sensation of hoisting a quin- tet of capitalists representing about 5250, 000, 000. Though they occupied the entire first floor the members of this mil- lionaire quintet, a word from whom would shako the bourses of the world, led the simplest of lives at Claridge's,. They entertained lit- tle, had few visitors, and paid few calls. So exclusive, so terribly se- lect, was this little coterie of Croes- uses that except for a daily drive in the park and a little shopping their days passed without event. These millionaires made no attempt at a lavish display. Apparently they went to the other extreme and be- catne adepts in the fine art. of cut- ting down expenses. The wives of these mighty millionaires passed through the stately corridors of Ciaridge's wearing the plainest of gowns, while the simplest of menus were adopted by the millionaires themselves. Twice a day they met at the table (Thole. A simple little dinner of a few courses was their favorite meal—clear soup, a sole, a little gnme, and sweets. No Ameri- can dishes were served. Little wino was taken, Mr. Itockefeller's bever- age being milk. Conversation at these meals was limited to discussions regarding the weather. Never by any chance did they touch upon the stoney market. TEETHING WITHOCI"'TEAILS, Mothers who have suffered the misery of restless nights at teething time, ano watched their babies in the unhelped agony of that period, will welcome the safe and certain re- lief, that Ilabv's Otvn 'Tablets bring.

For the widening of Piccadilly the London Comity Council has been for some time negotiating the purchnse of a strip of land fronting Piccadilly and St. .fames street. The arta, which is of course built upon, con- tains about 1.200 square feet, and the price agreed upon to be mild is over $2(10,000. This works out to about $175 a square foot, or tate enormous sum of nearly 57,500,000 per acre. It probably constitutes a record ns the highest -priced spot on earth, but as the sum includes com- pensation for disturbance and danl- ata's, the purchase cannot be emu - pared with the prices recently paid for sites in the city. Cornhill is the highest rented spot on earth. A single room rr m was let not long ago for between 510,000 and 815.000 a year. in the west end a small shop with basements fetches over 55,000 n year in Bond street, and the remainder of the house lets atproportionate sums. rho rotcuhtc value of London is about 8200,000,000, of which sunt $t,0,000,000 is represented by the value in sites. ♦— si1O1'I.D LADIES MAKE i.OVE?
