Before and at the time of the
death of Mayor Carter 11. Harri
son the current supposition was
that he was worth anywhere from
$2,000,000 to $5,000,000. He lived '
like a millionaire, and people took
him at what he appeared to be
worth. But unless some other evi
dences of wealth besides those
which have been recorded iu the
coroner’s office shall be discovered,
the lata Mayor will have to tie
written down as a comparatively
poor man instead of a very rich
one. An inventory of personal
filed in the coroner's office a few
days ago showed the estate to be
worth, including IG,OCO life insur
ance ,$237,812.

THE END OF A BEAUTIFUL
DREAM.
Fire seems, after all. the only fl
tii.g end ot the Great White City.
1 No one would have the ha d’hood to
tear dov,n the Peristyle, to destn y
deliberately the great Court ol Hon
or. Yet to see its beauty slowly d<-
cay iu m gleet and rum must hate
brought au element of satns-s into
memories that should be altogether
joyous
One of the hardest problems before
the World's Fail Commissioners was
that of the final disposition of the
bu 11 dings. The tire has come to re
solve their doubt.;. Whatever the
1 extent of the destiuction is it has
r been sufficient to put an end to the
panorama of symmetry forever, pur
ity ami beauty that still lingers iu
every mind, and all that remains for
the Commissioners now is to com
plete the destruction as rapidly as
possible and thus leave no decaying
ruins to mar this cherished iuem-
; ory.
The lire was a minfra tone only in
so far that it involved the destruc
lion of many valuable articles that
had not been removed from the
great budding, and this is the more
unfortunate because the decay seems
not to have been altogether the fault
J of the exhibitors or o wners of the in
jured goods. So far as they hare
been hampered by tl eVustom regu
lations, the loss to which the for
’ eign exhibitors have been subjected
is very discreditable to the United
States. No \\ 01 Id’s Fair was ever
held before under tariff restriction so
I onerous as those imposed in tire
present instance. They have caused
constant friction between the exhib
itors and the customs officials And
the c implicated requirements nec
essary to obtain clearances for the
return of unsold goods are no doubt :
responsible for whatever loss ihe ex i
hibitors have sustained.
Apart, from this loss, the extent of j
the like of
