The biggest fortunes on the Pacific coast
are those of the Central Pacific railr‘oad magv
hates, and cleovcrnor Stanford is the rich-
est' of the group. ' His wealth is estimated
at 1,715,000,000; that is, his yearly income is
equal to'the interest on such a capital, and
his property is constantly increasing in value.
He owns more than $35,000,000 alone in San
Francisco in real estate, to say nothing of
his farms, vineyards, breeding ranches, Etc.
The err—governor has llrrt‘ruc child, Leland,
Jr., a lad of about 15.

in the country for that matter, with the pos-

just married to a Miss Crittendcn, a protege

United States four per cents and gave them
to his daughter outright, having them reg-

run LUCKIEST YOUNG.- MAN is run srA'r'n.

The luckiest young man in California in
point of wealth is Mr. James V. Coleman of
Menlo Park. A few years age he was clerk
at a mine in Nevada at$100 a rnonth.‘ But
he didn’t expect to be always, for William
T. O. Brien, one of the bonanza kings, was
his uncle, and Mr. O’Brien was a bachelor.
One dayflr. O’Brien got sick and sent for
“Jimmie,” as he was always called, .to be
with him and care for him. In the last days
of his illness the nurses, Uncle “Billy” and
“Jimmie” were closeted together a great
deal, and one evening “ Jimmie” came out of
Uncle Billy’s room with a big tin box, which
his Uncle Billy had given him. It contained
$500,000-1iu four per cents. A week later
Uncle Billy died, and by his will all the
.nephews and nieces were left 55? 00, 000 each,

THE QUIET MAN wrns.
It was but four years ago that Fair got
caught to the tune of a million,'by Robert
Sherwood, another mining capitalist, who
used to sell watches and finger rings; At
the time of the Sierra Nevada deal 'Slrer-
wood owned 5,000 shares of Union Consoli-
dated, then rated in the market at $200
a share. Fair was blustcring around one
day in Nevada block about what was going
to be shown up in the mine, and how much
higher the stock was going. Sherwood, who
is a very quiet and cautious man, hoped it
was all true, but had his doubts. “ 1 sup-
pose you‘d like to peddle out your stock,
then, ” raid Fair with‘h sneer. “ No, I don’t
care to peddle it. but I’ll sell it, ” was the re-
ply. “W lr.1.'ll you take. 9” “Market price,”
was the answer. There was a small crowd
around and all were eyeing Fair to see how
he‘d stand the blutf. He saw he was in for
it, and there was nothing to do but to ge-
ahead. "I’ll 01v. 37011817" " “No,notliing
but market prices. I can peddle it out at
that,” said Mr. Sherwood with a laugh.

"“What is it now 7” and both walked to the

ticker. “Union $201, $203,” said some one.
“I’ll give you $200," said Fair. “I’ll take
it,” said Sherwood. “Give me your check."
“Come into the bank,” and in ten minutes
the burly senator had Mr. Sherwood’s 5,000
shares of stock, and $1,000,000 had passed
to'Mr. Sherwood’s bank account.

The horse will paw all night in-the stable

all rest or sleep until they are fed. The ani-

Man ‘can train himself to the habit of
sleeping without a preceding men], but only
aftér long years of practice. As he comes
into :the world, nature is too strong for him
and he must be fed before he will sleep. A
child's stomach is small andwheu perfectly
filled, it no sickness disturb: it, sleep follows
naturally and inevitably. As digelrion goes
on the stomach begins to empty. Laingle
fold in it makes the little sleeper restless;
two will wake it; and if it in hushcdazlin

Not even 1111 angel who has learned

We use the oft-quoted illustration “sleeping
as sweetly as an infant," because \lbll slum-
ber of a child toll ms immediately after its
stomach is completely filled with wholesome
food. The sleepwhich comes to adults Ion;
after partaking of food and when the It’om-
aeh is m. arly or quite empty is not after the
type of infantile repose. There is all the
difference in the world between the sleep of
refreshment and the sleep of exhaustion. ‘

To sleep well the blood that swells the
veins in the head during our" busy hours
must flow back, leaving a greatly diminished
volume behind the brow that lately throbbed
wlth such vehemence. To digest well, this
blood is needed at the stomach and nearer
the fountains of life. It is a [not established

HOW IT OANB' ABOUT THAT JOHN FITCH

Special Corresponaknce of the Pittsburgh

Evening Chronicle

WAsnrno'rox, December 17.——Over the
door by which the Senate Committee on
Patent: is entered from the contact, there' rs

911! Italian £11111 Brumidi. It was done some
:36 by the direction of Col. Edward
Clark, Architect of the Capitol and it was re-
It
reprelents Fulton sitting surrounded by
books Ind papers and near him stands an
easel, upon which there in. an unfinished
portraits while in thc‘dismrce there is a
river view with a steamer under- headway.
These side semis to the central figure are, of
course, to suggest tint Fulton was a. portrait
painter- and the inventor of 11.111.110.11. While
the painting, proceeded Mr. A. E.‘Byington,
then and now clerk of the Patent Committee,
went to Col. Clarke “depletes! I reman-
stnnco. He declared that Robert Fulton
was not the inventor of steamboats. He did
not object to' have his fame perpetuated on
canvu- u a painter of portraits, but to the
fame of originating the propulsion of vessel:
by steam he had no more claim than old
'who had been instructed to the
extent that paint and oil could do it, to per-
petuate a historical lie. The earnestness and
emphasis of Mr. ’Byinzton, arrested the at-
tention Of Col. Clark and he demanded
whose'pictnre he would have substituted for
that. of Fulton. Tothich Mr Byiugron thus
responded-
_ The portrait of John Fitch, with xccuratc
representations of thornodell wlth which he
successfully experimented, .which are still

._ preserved and which he put to practical tests

twenty years before Fulton~ was heard of, or
any effort of his to accomplish what you are
crediting him 'with having perfected.”

This energetic response is partly owing to
the fact that John Fitch we: a native of
Connecticut and that Mr. Byington is not
only a modernproducyol this old State.
around which cluster: such a multitude of

colonial memories, but in tracing his geneal-

0:511. somewhere strikes a branch 0’! John
Fitch's ancestral tree. .

“ Well, ” said 00!. Clarke, “since we have
gone IO far with Fulton, we will complete
You don't deny that he was a
portrait painter. That? part of it at least
does him juries and those who Itudy it as a
work of an, or as a historical representation,

‘ may come to their own conclmiOn about the
steamboat.

Now, as to John Fitch, you bring
me the proof that he yirs:the"inv'oirtor or
steamboat: and we will" have him painted
over- the'othcr door.”

Mr. Byington accepted the propofition and

join; to the Congressional lenry'bé' he'd no

difficulty. in procuring .1111: data required.
The proof condensed established the fact
that “if the United States are entitled to the
distinction of being the scene of the firlt
practical application of steam to the propul-
sion of vessels, reliancé n'rrm be placed upon
Fitch’s successful experiments 1.1 1786, 1787,
1788 and 1789 and which in 1790 war.

the passages of a packet, passenger and
freight steamboat on the Delivvué, which
for' more than three months made trips be-
twee'rr certain places as regularly 88de the
steamboat: of the present day, with use and
safety and without material stoppxgémcci-
dent, or delay. If we cannot rely upon
Fitch’ 5 claims to the invention of the steam;
boat, England is entitled to the honor.
Symington's steamboat .wu tried' in 1788 and
practically succeeded in 1801. Fellow 3 ex-
pertrnoutl at Plombieres were inade' m 1803,
whilst his triumphs on the Hudson, (entirely
destitute of __o_r1;mn_lrty) were delayed until

pelled his 1111: skiff steamboot on the Dela-
ware and nearly an 11..."; after- Miller and
Bymington built their first Scottish steam
pleasure boat at 151.11.11.19... ” -

The corroborative proof of these statements

existed in the identification of well known
name: with the enterprise and in tho adver-
tisements of the Philadelphia and-Trenton
papers 1 of .rhoae dates which-announced the
regular tripsof "The Steamboat.”

Mr. Byington at once souglrr'nid from the
oldest inhabitants of Noni-lb, Connecticut,
which wu' the original depository. of the
Fitch stock, but the best he could maif'o get
a description of his personal appear-nee. He
