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 I * wnicu the word ™1 H i. fltti.A that I 16 ‘>“1 should be spectacular, l e ;w ”>g no dishonored ruins of glorv th ,i has become a part of the intellect Ua ‘1 tX* of AGENTS .make five DOLLARS a day. i?
