AMERICAN MILLIONAIRES BY GEORGE THOMAS BOWLING, D. D. It might almost seem that the fol lowing sketch illustrating the singular experiences which sometimes occur to those travcliug through a foreign country could scarcely be true. It is, however, an accurate statement of facto, and can be verified, if anyone should so desire, by communicating with any member of the party re ferred to. There were about forty of us Amer ican tourists, in 1892, under the con duct of Prof. Armund do Potter, re turning together from the North cape and stopping for a little time in Den mark. The day approached for us to leave Copenhagen for Stockholm, on our way to St. Petersburg; and, as our conductor thought it wise, we con cluded to charter a train, which hap pened to be what is known abroad as first class. We had learned that we could thereby secure considerable in crease of comfort, with comparative small increase of expense. But how little we dreamed of the experiences which were to follow! As our line of carriages rolled from the hotel to the station, most of us were too much engaged with the pros pects of the journey to note the atten tive gaze of the passing pedestrians, or the stare of the curious groups gath ered about the depot. Soon wo were on the cars and had settled ourselves comfortably in our various compartments for an all-day's quiet ride in tho midst of Swedish scenery. About an hour passed away and the whistle blew. We were near ing a station. "Good gracious, what a crowd!" ex claimed one of the party, a he pulled his head in from the window, and popped it out again. Immediately forty heads were thrust out from forty windows, more or less, and forty people, mentally or aloud exclaimed: "Good gracious!" % The platform was literally packed, and we asked ourselves: "Why this throng, since no passengers are to be taken on board, and wo are traveling as a party of obscure American tour ists?" When we came to a standstill our amazement was still further increased. The multitude pressed about our win dows and soon boarded the train. "Whore is Mr. Vanderbilt?" some one asked. We answered that we had* not seen him. "Well, may I see Mr. Sandford?" "Which Mr. Sandford?" '.'Mr. Sandford, of California; tho railroad man." "Oh, you mean Mr. Stanford?" "Yes, he's the one; I want to see him." We told the gentleman that we did not think he could see him, since we had never seen him ourselves. Then he edged up to one of us, and, in a confidential whisper, asked: "Which is Jay Gould?" We told him we didn't know. Hero a spruce young man pressed forward. "Now, see here, gentlemen," he exclaimed, with politeness, but considerable suppressed energy, "I've been sent over here by the journal I represent especially to meet this party of American millionaires, and have an interview. I have driven ten miles this morning, and do not want to re turn without the accomplishment of my purpose." A "plain-spoken" tourist from one of our western states could now contain himself no longer. "See here, stran ger," he exclaimed, "you'd better come off your perch. You're jagged; that's what's the matter with you. You're talkin' through your hat What on earth are you drcamin' about, any how? Mr. VanderlJilt and Jay Gould and Mr. Stanford, and the rest of 'em! Who told you they were on board?" "Who told me?" he cried, excitedly— "who told me? Look at that, and see who told rao!" and he pulled from his pocket a newspaper, and, pressing his finger against a paragraph, held it up for us to read. As it was iu the Scan dinavian tongue, and as our education had been neglected in that department, wo were none of us much the wiser. So we asked him to interpret it; and ho read this statement, which I copied at the time: "Wo learn that a oompmy of American mil lionaires will leavo C.jpcnh gen on Tuesday next, in a private train. 0:1 their way to Stock holm. After vlsltlr.'? that city thoy Intend to spend some time in Cus.-do. It would be didl cult to estlmato what the ag wealth of theso gentlemen would repretent." Ilere, then, was the cause of this un usual excitement. We were million aires, and these people had come from all the country roundabout, either on foot or in any conveyance which they could find, that they might feast their eyes on us favored children of fortune. As soon as our financial standing bo came known to us each one of us, in stantly, intuitively and individually, found himself sitting at a window where he could be easily seen. We were "millionaires," and on ex hibition—the observed, and the envied of all observers. We felt wo had a reputation to sustain. What though it was a hollow reputation? Perhaps it was no more so than as though some of the real "millionaires" had actually been among us. Besides that, had not Pope declared that: " Honor and shamo from no condition rise. Act well your part—there all the honor lies!" And we determined to get out of it whatever honor there was in it; for if we did not have the "condition" wc could at least act as though we had; and in so doing we would not be com pelled to feel so very lonely in this great world, after all. Accordingly, we sat back and tried to appear non chalant, as though such an experience as that which now presented itself was simply one of the ordinary burdens of our all too prosperous lot. I believe that some of us actually felt wealthy. In fact, we became generous; so that when the whistle blew, and we pre pared to steam away, and the boys pressed about the departing train, we took from our pockets some of the smallest coins we could find and tossed them carelessly into their midst. True, this was partly for the fun of seeing them scramble, but also because we felt that, regardless of expense, we must sustain the good reputation of our brethren at home, the other American millionaires, who had been 60 un fortunate as to have received no invi tation to join our select party. Then the train moved away, and once more we were left to the company of ourselves. But we felt taller. One man remarked that he was really glad to discover himself in the oompany of so many rich people; that he had, un til then, beeu feeling lonely and ill at ease, but now he felt at home again. Then the question arose as to how we had come to be discovered. Who put it into the papers? But no one could bo found who would confess his guilt. We would make further in quiries on that point at the next sta tion. We wondered whether there would be another crowd of people there, and a number of the ladies be gan to "prink" that they might look like heiresses. I noticed some of the gentlemen also brushing their hats, and one putting on his kid gloves. I suppose he thought that millionaires wore kid gloves, even when they went to bed. Another, who had been loung ing in a disreputable old traveling cap, quietly removed it and sat himself down by the window with hie mil lionaire head adorned with a million aire-looking stovepipe. lie was not again to be taken by surprise, as he had at the first station. After awhile the whistle blew down brakes, and we knew we were nearing another depot. Out popped forty heads—no, not forty this time; only about twenty. The others evi dently realized that it would not com port with the dignity of American rep resentatives of Wall street, to appear frivolous. When their companions ex claimed: "I declare! A bigger crowd than before!" they simply sat back and tried to look bored. I noticed, how ever, that they carefully retained their seats next the windows. In fact, this for the moment rather nettled me. I deprecated their evident desire for con spicuousness; it rendered it almost im possible for me to get a good seat my self. Once more the crowd gathered about the windows, and their questions were repeated. But this time it was our turn to ask and theirs to answer. "How did that article appear in the papers, and who said we were million aires?" "Why, that is now public property. Everybody knows it With the excep tion of yourselves no one ever yet traveled over this road in a special train except the king and visitors to the royal family." And this was the cause of our sudden rise to fame. The railroad authorities in Copenhagen had evidently informed some one of their newspaper friends that we had chartered private cars. The newspaper friend had thereupon, with that remarkable instinct for en terprise and accuracy which unfortu nately is not confined to the rcpro •entatives of the American press, in formed himself out of the depths of his* own consciousness that no one would ever charter special cars except people of special distinction and finan cial ability. Furthermore, we were Americans, and that settled it; for all foreigners have an idea that an Amer ican can never, by any possibility, bo hard up. And it is doubtloss because of tlieir conviction as to tho benefits of such au experience that they do their best to bring us into this condition be fore we leave them. The author of this startling paragraph, however, evi dently did not know us personally or he would have drawn the lino some where. Larger and larger grew the crowds as wo neared the end of our journey. At one place wo were called upon to feel not 6imply the prerogatives of wealth but its responsibilities. A com mittee of citizens from a town which they told ua was named Nassau waited upon us to inform us that many of their homes had been destroyed by fire, and respectfully to request that during the few minutes we tarried at their station wo would subscribe a few thousand dollops for the relief of the sufferers. They presented a writ ten petition, regularly drawn up, ami addressed to "The American No blemen" who were traveling through Sweden. * This t\mo we summoned all the cour age we bad and told the simple truth; for if there is ever a time when a man is ready to lay aside all sham and givo the bottom facts concerning his in come, it is when he is asked for a sub scription. Unhappily, however, they refused to believe us; and by their countenances we could discover, as we steamed away, that they were not only persuaded that wo were millionaires, but that we were blindly regardless of how to use our money in the best way. At last we entered Stockholm, and as, dust covered and weary, we alight ed from our "special train," and passed out of the depot into the street, a swarm of two thousand spectators so blocked the passage that the police had to be called upon to conduct us to our carriages. Our experiences, however, were not j'et concluded; indeed, they were scarcely begun. Neither had we reached the limit of the phenomenal growth of our private fortunes. Wc had started from Copenhagen, including in our number some com monplace capitalists who were the possessors of a mere million. For each of us, however, this was soon to be come an insignificant figure; just enough, perhaps, with which to endow a college or help some poor relation over a tight place, but a mere baga telle compared with our now rapidly accumulating wealth. But here we were, for the first time, about to go shopping in the streets of Stockholm, just plain, simple million aires and nothing more. This was the city where we had understood things would be reasonably cheap; easily within purchasing power of people like ourselves who, while we did not have money to burn, were possessed of a reasonable competence. But cheap! Why we had nevre entered a town in all our travels where the prices of everything were so enor mous. Articles had appeared about us and our fortunes in the city journals, and just as soon as we reached a store, whizz! fizz! the prices rose like a rocket. Every one of us was a marked man among those shopkeep ers. And that in "honest Sweden!" Wc began to appreciate why it was that rich people sometimes became sus pieious and what is popularly termed "mean." Most of tho millionaires, when they had heard the prices, de termined to wait until they should have returned to America; then to purchase the same things, at fifty per cent, less than they could where they were made; apian which had much to commend it, uot only from an economical stand point, but from a lofty moral predilec tion as well, inasmuch as they would thereby avoid the necessity of lying to the custom house officers when they reached the wharf. One firm deputed a clerk to call upon us at our hotel and offer to drive some of us to see the beautiful sights of the city, without expense. Five or six conscienceless capitalists accepted his offer, and, free of cost to themselves, spent the best part of a day in driving round the town and envt/ons. They gracefully accepted, also, his business card when he left them at their hotel. But I happened to see him standing in front of his store on the last day of our sojourn in the city. His hands were in his pockets and there seemed to be plenty of room for them; indeed, there did not appear to bo anything else in his pockets bnt his hands. He bowed to me as 1 passed, though I was not one who had accepted of his hospitali ty; bnt in his deportment there was a grieved and injured air, which led me into wondering how much ho was "out . on account of tho American millionaires. When on the next day \vc bade fare well to Stockholm, we breathed a sigh of relief, wo were once again to be our own real selves; to bo dealt with like people who had to count their pennies, and figure up tho cast. Hut how little one can tell of the mysteri ous ways of Providence! As we came into Russia we'marvclcd why we were treated with so much deference, and why our baggage at the custom house was scarcely cx iinincd at all. But the day following sur arrival it was all explained. The authorities had received orders from their superiors to let us alone, But why? I asked this question of a Russian gentleman. lie smiled knowingly, as if he fancied I might be playing him a trick. But lie took out of his pocket the St. Petersburg paper, and trans ited for me into English the follow ng important announcement: "A party of fifty American millionaires cro >n t'nelr way, with private steamer and cars. 10 St Petersburg. Tho party contains all tho millionaires in America oxcopt Vanclorbilt, and 3oul& Along the railway In Swcdon and Nor vay they threw away among the people loventy-tivo thousand rubles." That, gentle reader, would be equiv alent to more than fifty thousand dol ars in American gold. And here I rest my pen.

American boys and girls accustomed to the dash of fire horses through the streets, and the reaching of the burn ing house or shop in five or ten min utes, only a fair performance of our fire departments, will laugh to hear how the slow-going Turk manages the mat ter. In Turkey's most important city, Constantinople, there arc no electric fire signals to be rung at almost any street corner, but the fires are watched for from several fire towers that are built in various portions of the city. The one shown in the accompanying picture is in the old part of Constanti nople, just inside the gate of Soula manie, and is a historic # ono, for it is built on the site of the forum of Con stantino the Great, from whose name, as many of you probably know, this beautiful city of the Bosporus is named. Toward the top of this tall, graceful tower a rod or pole projects on each side; these are for the Are signals. On the top of the tower stands, day and night, a watchman, who looks all about on every side for the first sign of a fire. If ho sees a suspicious smoke any where he at once hangs out on the rods a sort of ball-shaped basket or lantern, I A/ TURKISH FIRE TOWER. as it is called, one for each district, up to the one where the fire seems to be. The cit}' was built on seven hills, and each hill is a district, so if the fire is in the third district three balls will hang on each side, that nil may know where to run for the fire. The street watchman, whose duty it is to keep his ej'e often on the tower, soon sees the signal, and if it is in his district he starts on a run to warn the firemen. He has a club, and as he runs he beats on the pavement with it, and cries at the top of his voice: " Yanghin var! Yanghin var!" "There is fire! There is fire!" The first to hear the noise and din are the dogs of tho city, and the dogs of Constantinople ought to have a story all by themselves, for they are very prominent. There are ten thousand of them, and the visitors say that it seems as if every dog in the city turned out for every fire. It is certain that almost at once tlie watchman has a great crowd of dogs yelping and barking at his heels, and this commotion soon arouses the firemen. These are volun teers, not a regular company of trained men as we have, and part of them run to where an old-fashioned hand engine is kept, and get it out and start for the fire with it, and another set of men grab their leather water bags, which they sling over their shoulders as they run, and go to the nearest public foun tain to fill them with water. Then they, too, rush to the fire, the engine pipes are attached to the bags, the men begin to pump, and at last, when the fire has had a good half hour's sthrt, some small streams of water are played on it, without, however, as you may guess, very much efiect. At night a colored light is used on tho towers, its color showing tho dis trict where the fire is. As the districts are large and the firemen have no idea in what part of the district the fire may be, they sometimes race over the most of it, with dogs and people follow ing, before they find the blaze; by that time, perhaps, a good part of tho water has leaked out of the bags, which arc kept in use when they arc old and worn, and little good can be done. It is because their means of fighting fire are so slight and imper fect that the city is often visited by most serious fires, and this is why. too, the most dreadful sound in the streets, particularly at night, is tho shrill "Yanghin var!" of the watchman. Many of the wealthier citizens keep on hand large heavy curtains, almost as thick as the Turkish rugs, and of great size, which they hang in front of their houses when a fire is near and seems threatening. This curtain is called kuzkeclim.—N. Y. Times. . 110 Wants to Know. Tommy Traddlcs—Pupa, 3-011 call that little bit of a tiny wee engine a don key engine, don't you? Mr. Traddles —Yes, my boy.
