IE IS A VERY RICH MAI S HIS oRACE THE DUKE OF WEST- MINSTER. upposed to be Worth atInaatesso-All Things Considered -Probably the nicio est man be the World -The Oahe's For- tune Is Principaily In Real *Mate -Has An Annual become or $4,000,000 to $5,000,o00. His Grace, the Duke of Westminster, honest man, sleeps easily. Though his children number some seven living, awl he has gramichildren to many to be reckoned readily, yet he has no fear for the morrow. The duke is probably the richest man in the world. Li Huxig Chang has been rated higher, and Am- ericaus in tbeix pride claim greater wealth for Mr. Rockefeller, but, every- thing considered, the Duke of West- minster's holdings will disubtless top those of tbe Chinama.n mid the Amer- ican. He is certainly the heaviest own- er of real estate in the world. There is considerable uncertainty as to the title of .property in China. ft is the sub- ject's to -day; it may be the emperor's or it may be parceled out among other citizens to -morrow. My. Rockefeller's is largely in stocks and. securities. The l)uke's is prineipally real estate, Its value and earnings axe little affected - by outeide causes. For a, century in- deed the only variation has been an increase of value and of rentals. Vie Duke is interested in meny comanercial enterprises and railany and other cor- porations, but, as was said, the bulk of liis beimagings is in the nature of real estate, busiuess blocas, market places, houses and farms. His ilICODID ranges from §4,000,000 to $5,000,00o annually, It is not so greet as several Americans whose aggregate wealth 13 much less than that of Westrainstee, but if tbeir returns are larger thew risk is greater. The duk411 belongings, real and per- sonal, amount to about $175,000,000. THE DUKE'S POPULARITY is as great as his wealth. If bis posi- tion were elective and he were to re - • he would be returned again at the next eleration. He is truly a demo- cratic, peer -making the true distince tion. between democracy and the vul- 'garner and viciousness of Aylesford, Queensberry and other notorious aris- tocrats dead and alive, He is beloved of his tenantry and. admired by people of all classes whether they are his de - was not gained in politics or in cliplome pendants or otherwise. His nepularity aeY, but from association. His hospi- tality is boundless and. his many an- cestral seats are always filled with guests. The fire is alight the ,year round. It is in the hunfizeg field that his grace finds greatest joy. He is a true sportsman, and is careless whe- ther farmers or princes accompany him in the chase. It is the 1g:erne he seeks, not society. Be is the best judge of a horse, in the United Singdora, and is. not wholly theoretical in his informa- tion. He oan fit a racing plate to a horse•'s foot, with the skill, of a master smith. His horses are the pride of his life. Ills stud farm is the estate on w hich his principal ceuatry seat, Eaton Hall, is situated. This is in Chester, near Hawa,rden, the home of Mr, Glad - atone. The lords of the stud are the great Bend d'Or and Ormond°. The Grosvenor stables -Grosvenor is the einke,'s family name -having a celebrity extending over a long century. In 1790 the colors were carried by a Derby win- ner, Touchstone, whose thirty years in the stud resulted. in a long line of Prize winners. RhadaTnanthus was an- other Derby winner. So was Bend d'Or and Shotoven each of whom, also landed the 2,000 guinea stake. Orn3.oride took the 2,000 guineas and the Oaks stakes hove been taken by the horses of the Duke of 'Westminster's stable no less thee nine times. .Ele has been success- ful in perfecting tbe brotting tendency, too. The Duke, who desoribes himself as being IN THE PRIME OF LIFE, was born Oct. 18, 1825, and is now in his seventy-first year. He hes been ra,srried twice. the first time in 1852. His wife was Lady Constance Gertrude Leweson-Gower, daughter of George Granville, Dake of Sutherland. They had eleven children, of whom six axe now living: The first duchess died ha 1880, and in 1883 the Duke married Katherine Caroline Cavendish, daugh- ter of Lord Chesham. They have three children. Hugh Lupus Grosvenor began life as the second son of the second Marquis of Grosvenor and. lord lieutenatn of Che- shire. Sir Hugh, by season of the death of an elder brother in infancy and the dying of his father in 1869 succeeded to the title and the family possessions. He was Earl Grosvenor for but little more thaa four years. His elevation to the dukedom took place early in 1874. He has many 'military and other hon- orary titles, and was Master of the Horse from. 1880 to 1885. The Grosvenor family finds its origin 150 years prior to the Norman conquest. The first of the name in England, Gilbert Le Gros Veneer, P.F..mP in the train of Williaxa the Conqueror. As is indicated by the name, Gilbert was the head huntsman. Re transmitted the love of sports along with his name to the present genera- tion. The Grrosvextors have ever been • a ttuifty folk, an,d not a marriage has . been made in the entire line that has not added to the family wealth. The vast business properties and market places the Duke owns in London are built !up on an immense farm which one; of his ancesters bought in. the -six- teenth century. It has been part of the city for 150 years. Eaton Hall, the country seat, to whie.h reference has aheady been made, became a family possession to the time of Henry VL by the marriage of Sir Ralph Gros- venor and Joan, only daughter of Sir John Eaton do Eaton. The hall was completela remodeled as to the ieterior by the father of the duke. The work was begun in 1803 and. was not com- pleted until 1816. The collections of PAINTINGS AND SCULPTURE at Eaton are priceless. The library has 10,000 volumes. The heir to all this wealth and naagnifioence is Hugh Rich- ard Arehus, Earl Grosvenor. He was born = 1869, the oldest son of Victor Alexander, first son of the Duke of Westminster, for whom Queen Victoria in person stood sponsor. Vidor Alex- ander was born m 1853 and died in 1884, leaving tbree children. In discussing the democratic ways of the Duke Englishmen relate the story of a stranger who desired to see the art treasures of Detail Hall. He met an elderly man walking about the grounds,. • and from his dress, which was a semi - hunting costume and. not too new, thought the liMidi to be a retainer of the Duke. The stranger asked the man to show Man about the place, which the person did, pointing oat, explaaning and elucidating with great patience. The guide listened to the eisitor'e comments an the Duke and family with interest and received with thanks ahalf sever - THE EXETER eign to requite him for laie trouble. The followieg day the visitor rode out to the hunt and in the roaster of the hounds, who was also lord lieutenant of the county and Duke of We,stusinster, he recognized hie guide of the day be- fore. It Was explained by the enthus- iastic fellow countrymen of the Duke that the reason the great man did not decline the"tip" given hine by the visitor was leis fear of disconcerting the stranger. It would have been so ute terly out of eharaeter for an English servant to deal/ince money that the peer would have been obliged to disclose tits identity to exedeen bis refusal.

What could more strongly stir tbe bile that runs into envy than the sight of anaval review at Portsin.oath, or the bewildering sbow of wealth that Lon- don papers give so meek prominence. "The Emperor," .says one who has attended. his 'Wednesday expel:Lug par- ties, "looks on himself as the head of his whole kindred. Ile faxieles, without knbeving that he idoes, that, as the Queen's eldest grandson, he ought to be her heir. This zu,tion oozes out when- ever be is in the oumpany of tile Prince of Wales. The Queeni does not exact- ly humor bian, but she shows deep re- spect, which no doubt she feels, for his rank. He is her grandson, when they are quite alone, but her brother when anyone is present. The cause of his feud with. his =ether was that she went on tre.a.ting him as her son after he left school. She used to call him and speak of him as "that boy." Mott is rather funny is that he leaves the Empress Frederick entirely out in. hie vague dreams about his Ian tural right to boss England in England. He quite forgets his international rela- tions to members of his family. The Prince of Wales must often feel this. The Crovvri Princess of Greece was made to feel it keenly when she chose to enter the Greek Church, to be able to go to the Orthodox mass on Sundays with her husband." BROKEN WATER MAIN. A. Portion of Cleveland, 01310, Inundated -Mouses serried into the River. A .despatch from Cleveland, Ohio, says: -At an early hour on Tuesday morning. an. ineraense water mein buxst with ter- rific force on. Franklin avenue hill, just west of Cuyahoga river, and by the great volume of water that poured out several hundred feet of the hill on which were located mazay small houses, were washed into the river. One small one storey frame house, occupied by Mrs. Mary Ravey, sixty. years old, No. 9 Franklin hill, was inundated and with the contents was hurled into the river. Mrs. Ravey was drowned. Her body was recovered. an hour later. A New York and Pennsylvania and. Ohio freight train was passing at the foot of the hill at the time, arid the force of the water carried several cars into the river. On the cars were three of the train crew, and. the men were carried down with the cars. Two of the men jumped before the river was reached and escaped, but the third was •dumped into the river„ and but for the assieta,nce of the tenders of the Columbus street bridge would have been drowned. The man was badly injured. Houses were washed along and dropped into a great pit scooped out by the raging water, and much damage was done. The Latest Fire Escape.

The raiders carried the plunder trona. Den- a' three days continuously. They have even carried away the old mats and svisoden. spoons. No clothes, no beading, no kitchen utensils and nothing to eat are left to the surviving villagers. They had to live on. herbs whiclt they cooked. in the empty petrpleurn tins used by the enemy to burn their houses. WANTON DESTRUCTION. In many villages the contents of granaries, which the plunderers could not carry away, were spoiled with, Pe- troleum and filth, so as to make it un- eatable. Ize the diatriet of Tennooz the Armenian villages, especially Kantavoz, Kaaneakara and Patriu, were pillaged and burned, the wale inbabitants were butehered and yeung women were mal- treated. Some of the villages were en- tirely ruined, so that there is no sign now that they were villages once. No place has escaped except Rada.s and Gberaenek. In the latter piece the loc- al Turas joined the Armenians to drive back the raiders, who, however. have carried away about 100 sheep and cattle and about 100 horeeloads of wiaeat. and flour from the neighboring mills. The Bishop of Caesarea gives the fol- lowing figures as the result of the pil- lage and massacre of October 30:-Nuni- ber of lrLLled. 318. wounded 190, number of young brides and unmarried girls maltreated 50, houses burned. 27, houses plundered 447, shops pillaged :J50, Some of the yousig women are Mit yet to be found; some of them have been brought back one by one. No Christian as yet dares to open Me shop la the City of Caesarea., despite the assurances the authorities are giv- ing to the people that the plundered. goods will be found and brought back to their owners. ALL KINDS Ole 'WEAPONS. Judging from the wounded, it appears Shat all kinds of weapons and instru- ments were ueed,such as axes, sickles daggers, meat axes, ete. The first wounded person I took care of was un old man who bad a large wound, made by a meat axe on the back of his neck about two inches wide, reaching to the bum. Beside that, there were seven or eight other wounds about bis head and face. He lived 15 days and died in great agony. His wife and son also were wouuded poverely, and his two young daughters were maltreated and brought bark. I knew another woman whose husband had died in Nigde twen- ty days infore the massacre In Caesa- rea, ana I was wondering how to let her know the sad news, when her botuie was Attacked, herself killed and her three young daughters violated. Of these only two have been brought back; the one most needed is :401 lost. She was educated in Tales :Mis- sion and had been a teacher in Nidge for two years. Mr. Yeretzian, a medical doctor and pastor, his wife, eldest son and brother- in-law were ruthlessly butchered and thrown into the flames of their barn- inhouse, because they resisted the raiders. The Turks used thirtv tins of petroleum to burn his house, which was a strong building, and, in their efforts to save it, the inmates exhansted all the water 'itt tbe cistern. SPECIMEN OF FEROCITY. In order to give an idea. of the force- ity shown by the Turkish mob, the fol- lowing incidents may serve as examples. The wife of a Turkish military captaia happened to be looking from a. window when the mas.sacres were going on in the city. She was so much affected by the scenes that she lost her head, and ever since that day her only words have. been, "Oh savage Turks; Oh, beastly Turks!" In one house there were four young evoraen. Thr Turks attacked the house and carried away twojeaving the other two to be carried &WSJnext time. The two young women seeing there was no escape burned the taudir (oriental oven dug in the floor of the room) very hot, and threw themselves into the flames and were burned alive. The raiders earn. - ince back were very much disappointed to find them dead and went away curs- ing. From sorae places in the interior no letters are sent out unless written in Turkish, by the public scribes. This is avaceuntsiesorrship not yet ventured in other a The 'United Press correspondent at Constantinople has received the follow- ing information: Authentic reports have been received from the districts of Spargerd, Mamma clank. Khizan and Garga,r, in the. Bit - lie vilayet to the effect that a whole- sale conversion of the Armenian popu- lation to the ranks of Islarn bees tak- en place. During the recent reign o terror several sheikhs of Khiza,n, assist- ed by their hordes of fanatical follow - era, among them it least one officer known to the writer, ravaged that evhole region, and simply terrorized the help- less people into declaring their faith in 1VItahanamed. First of all they murdered. &certain Sahag Vantabed, as true and brave a man as ever lived tines Gutting' off the last hope the people had. They flayed the body, filled the akin with straw, and hung it, on a tree in front of the bean- tifnl monastry, evhicla foe 26 years he had oecupied and defended at the daily risk of bis life. Some at least (the namber is not known) 'followed his no- ble example and surrendered their lives instead of their Christian faith. The official figures in the possession of an ecclesiastical prelate of this district gives the number of converts to Islam as 800 families, which weuld mean at least 4,000 individuals. News of this same grave chaxacter comes from Har- poot, whence it was least expected; also from Sert and other places. Por twelve months past those ba the interior have been faithfully sending their warning and urging immediate and effective ac- tion, but evidently to no purpose. The representative diplemsts at Constanti- nople no doubt thought they under - Children Cry for Pitcher's Castoriai stood their own business, and, so they tact if it was their intention to plas the leading parts in the most awful tragedy wins% the 1931) century leas ever witnessed. If the mas.seering of 50,000 people, the forcible eonversion of thou- sands more to Islam, and the, reduoing of nearly. three millions to tbe verge of beggary: is the result of diplomaey (and who will deny that It is!), then God spare the world.and especially Turkey, of diplomats! It is the Berlin treaty and the Anglo-Franeo-Ru.ssien farce *2 1895. whioh have. ruined the Christians of Turkey. Tho integrity of the Chrietian powers stand compromised in the eyes of all Oriental Christendom. It is more than turailiating to watch the migthy nations of Europe bestowing their tend- erest solicitude on the meet putrid Gov- ernment. THE FIELD OF OOI1IIE1CL Some Items of Interest to the Busy Business Mau. The price of wheat in Toronto has ad- vanced 14o per bushel since the begin - ling *2 330 year. The earnings of Canadian Pacific, for the fourth week of January were 8420,- 000, an increase of $97,000. The United States Senate passed the bill to restore the coinage of silver dollars by a vote of 42 to 35. Wheat is very firm at Ontario points, there being sales of white and red at 80e.

The mils earnings of the Toronto Raihvay for January show an ipereese last year. of $3,538 as compared. with same month There is increased stringeneY money at New York owing to contrac- tion m loans and the demands for gold for treasury purposes. The visible supply of wheat in the United, States and. Canada is 60,734,000 bushels, a decrease of 789,000 for the week.A year ago the total was 83,376,- 000.

The ; well worn excuse o: poor country routs is hardly now available, but country (hake.; generally are light buyers; limb- al dy t his spirit oe caution, coneiderin all circumsta,nees, is rather malMend- ahlo than otherwise. In the dry goods trade there has ikeen a re retie amount of apprehension, whieh, however, does . not .seein to hive been borne out, and the different houses consulted sey that as far as they ean jullge payments will not be. any worse than last. year, and , thy do not now anticipate, any number of failures.

Payments on the 411), while per- haps batter than some had anticipated, were not whet we might. have expected from a healthy trade. There was a large number of renewals asked for, and the list of failures for the weea- were unusually heavy. The only setiefact 1*21 for those in business is the reflection that things may pick up a little in view of the fact that a great deal of uncer- tainty in the situation is removed by the failure. svreek. The changes in prices of merchandise are unimportant. Wool- ens and cottons may be a trifle weaker, while sugars rule firm. Osders gener- ally from. travellers do not indicate any large movement. Th,s advance in prices of wheat ought to help the grower of cereal. There is a good deal of specula- tion as to tbe quantity held. by farmers, but, no doubt, the higher prices will bring more to market. The hog market is also higher. Money is still firm, there being little disposition on . the part of the bankers to lend, and call loans remain stiff at 51-2 to 6 per cent. Prime discounts 6 to 61-2 per cent. in London money continues a drug at 1-2 per cent. on call, while the open market discount rates are 7-8 3 ofifteenasixteenths per cent. The United States loan has been subscribed for 51-2 times over, and an the Morgan bid of 110.68 is for any part of 'the $1013,000,000, this, it, is Bale to say, no bid will be accepted under this price. BALLOONING WITH A LION. A Daring iu1s1cuuc. Said LI) Be COML. tees, Will 180 This 10 Benoit Sick Soldiers. A. young and attractive woman in Paris, who is said to be a Countess, proposes to go from Marseilles to Paris in a balloon with a lion as bee compan- ion. She is what they call in France a "dompteuse," this translated. into Eng- lish meaning a "lady lion -tamer," and teihoins.exeraordiriary performance is to be Lor the benefit of the sick-. solcliers who have survived the .Madagasear expedi- it is by no means certain, however, that she will be able to make this uni- que trip. A few nights ago she had a dangerous adventure in her wild beast cage. She had scarcely caned the door when Tzar, the most savage and fe- rocious lion of the lot, sprang at her and clawed her in the breest and arms. A panic ensued in the menagerie, and a ru,sh was made for the entrance, but the brave countess stood her ground un - terrified and managed to beat tile lion off.- The -n she straightened herself up anf made Tzar go through his usual performance. The panie was allayed and the spectators began to wildly ap- plaud the courageous woman. Un.dissuaded by this adventure she in- sists that elle will give her balloon per- etermance at an early date with the same lion that attacked her. Yet she is but anew hand at lion taming. She began in a Parisian 133.11SID hall, and Went f rein there to Lyons, thence to Mar- eeilles. She is not appearing under her family nee% • The Modern Shot. The use of solid shot in warfare has been practically given. up.The projeti- tile of to -day ue a. conical 0.611 of steel, hollow, and sometimes loaded withpow- der so as to explode, ti thy a time hese, It is ra,dieally different from the shell of 25 years age. In, those days one eould watea tbe projectile as it sailed through the air in graceful curve, at length bursting. There was even tame to get oat of the way under favorable! =roma- stances. But the new style, of shell moves at the rate of a little ever half • a mile a. second. On striking ft, metal target, its energy becomes transformed instantaneeusly mto heat, it grows xede hot, and a flame is actually seen toburst forta from tbe point struck. Such a shell, passing near a raan, will tear his clothes off, merely from the windage. If it conies very near, though witianit hitting him, it will kill him. He drops dead. 'without the sign of a wound. Waereas an old-style shell would burst into a few pieces, the modern projectile flies into a =stied of small fragments eaeh piece moving with tremendous vel- ocity. Britain Boasts a Surplus. It can be stated upon the highest auth- ority that upon the opening of the Brit- ish parliament the chancellor of the ex- chequer, Sir Michael E. Hicks-Bea.ch, will make the announcement that, eo Lar from the estimates presented to par- liament last year proving chimerical, thm tax collections have been so largely in, excess of the amount estimated, while the disbursements tave been kept so \veil within limits, that the government euabled to announce an unexpected surplus of 44,000,000. It will also be an - pounced that one-fourth of this surplus will be devoted to naval purposes, one- fourth 1 thee -quipping of the army with new munitions of war, weile the remain- ing £2,000.000 will be divided betweee the public scbools and a reduction of taxation in *cm agricultural districts that have most severely felt the distress of the last year.
