roto for M.ir.'New York Tim..] .

In a list of questions which tbo StstePepart.ent some time apo sent to thcI'nited Ststes consuls in different pertsof the world the fifteenth wss this one :

"Are fortunes (in the region to whichthc Consul was accredited" readily madeand lost4" "

The replies of the consuls to thisqnerv 18 as curious as ia the question it¬self.

'

Consul Potter, of Crefeld, Ger¬many, wrote : *' Immediately after thcFrance-German war there was s rapiddevelopment of trade, especially inmining industries, which Anally degeni.*-rated into eitensive swindling opera¬tions. During this time large fortuneswere rapidly made, hut when the gen¬eral breakdown occurred in 187.V74fortunes thus gained were nearly sweptaway by the deluge of the financial dis¬asters which followed that periodof inflation. The mining industriesof Rhenish Prussia sre compara¬tively of recent development, snd arc

conducted under s peculiar system ofshare corporations (('owerkschaften)and joint stock companies. Under an¬

other brisk revival of buainess fortune*would probably again be readily madeand lost, through speculation, in thispart of Germany only. Duribg the lastfew years trade has been steady, andno extraordinary fluctuations of capitalhave taken place. In general, trades¬men, mechanics, and laborers acquireprosperity only by long, patient, andcontinuous work. Germany is not a

field for speculators. Tho pursuit oftoilsome industry seems to be the des¬tiny of her people. Life with them is a

tug. and they must struggle honestlyfor an existence. Fortunes are notreadily gained by such, nor readily lostwhen once attained.'"

Consul Warner, of Dusseldorf, boresimilar testimony, saying : " Those whoarc blessed with fortunes gggga le bealike blessed in the art of knowing howto bold on to them. The asper".Miltmade in Germany in tho year 1873,when the whole country was wild stsfspeculation to accumulate fortunes ra¬

pidly, taught many a well-off person,to their stid discontent, that it had beenm. unprofitable undertaking."

From Frankfurt Consul Vogeler wrotothat many well-to-do persons in thatcity 44 ire enjoying thc results of theirconfidence ia thc resolution and abilit*of tin- (iovernment of the I"nit*- I Statesto suppress the rebellion and ta BB" itabonds. Many milli*ms of the 5*20bonds," he continued. 44 were boughtin this market In-low od cents un tbadollar. Hundreds of thousands wcro

bought as low SI 40 pst cont. Osinvestments the purchaser mote thandoubled hisprincipsl. and for years drewfrom 12 to 15 per cent, intel cst.Puring all this tim. the Frankfort bond¬holder had nothing to do bat to hopeand pray that tba rebellion and the wilds. heines of lafletigaBlighthe ga~"yrggatii"hy the strength and honor of Ihe Ameri¬can people. These men have not hadBO good a chance since. They arc readylo invest, and to hope and pray againin u similar case."' After testifying tothe willingness ofthe German people toproceed slowly in the acquisition ofwealth, the Consul says ¦ "lt SCCBNnow and then in these times of scien¬tific inventions that n combination ofscience and mercantile capacity pro¬duces gg_b_~h.ants and firms of itn-BMBSS strength and prosperity, but tlieseinstances are the exception and not therule.*'

Consul Henry Diihmar, of Ilrcslau,said : 44 In mining operations. A c.. andthrough stock speculations, large for¬tunes are readily made and as readilylost. Capital, however, augmentsamong us in safe commercial and in¬dustrial enterprises, slowly but surely."The Consul at Sonneberg, Mr. _4>

shcr, wrote : *4 The kinds of busines inthe district are not such as involvethose losses by which fortunes are

speedily swept away. Except by un¬foreseen and unpreventable calamities,like flood or fire, thc loss of a fortuneis a somewhat gradual matter, and de¬pends as much upon foreign financialstringency as upon local causes, eeo

Kngland. Australia, thc I'nited States,and even Russia, come to this marketfor many of its specialties. Thus thefinancial condition of nearly thc wholecivilized globe is making itself feltalmost daily here in the Thuringianf.rcst. Even thc Chili-Peru strugglecost one firm heavily, and the failure ofth.- Frtnch Inion <ienerale du Creditactually wiped out one house."

Alfred Lefebvrc, Vice-Consul atGhent, said of the people among whombe lived : 44 Fortunes cannot be madetrait.]* on account of tho great pro-( notion, which gives risc to opposition,and thc surplus of this production can

only be exported under difliculties,owing to the duty put upon its entryinto the dillerent countries it has to besent to.*'

The Amsterdam people, according toConsul D. Eckstein, " rarely acquire orlose s fortune very suddenly." Moreor less wealth is accumulated in sll com¬mercial pursuits, but by a rather slowprocess. ¦' Circumspection snd pru¬dence characterize the business opera¬tions and general actions of the Dutchmerchants and men of affairs as a rule.Hazardous enterprises of any kind areseldom undertaken. Great and riskyspeculations in articles of commerce arebut very rarely ventured upon, andthus it is explained why fortunes once

acquired are not often or readily lost."Considering the vast transactions of theAmsterdam liourse, the slow fluctua¬tions of fortunes are, the Consul thinks,remarkable. Speculators and investorsin American railroad securities, henotes, hsve *4 often snd quickly realizedfortunes in the psst."

" Fortunes sre not quiekly msde as

in countries where there is more pushsad speculative energy," errites ConsulJohn I. Frisbie, of Rheims, France." Hut, on the other hand, they are veryrarely lost. Slowly built up and carefullymanaged, they are being continuallydivided among the various members ofthe families whose leading membershave amassed them, and frequently formthe starting point for new acquisitions."

Replying to the question, 44 Are for¬tunes readily made snd lost*' " ConsulGeorge W. Roosevelt, of liordesux,says : M Yea. Formerly a fortune wasthe result ofa whole life's labor end dailysaving;. Money wss ssfely invested,snd every yesr added to the family'sprosperity. A fortune now is actuallythe result of speculation. Almost every¬body deale in merchandise, exchangesatock, landa snd houses, kc. Thosewbo sre favored by chance soon becomerich; the others meet rob."

Curiously enough, Consul Charles P.Williams, of Rouen, looks st the Frenchpeople in sb entirely different light.44 They are not epeculatire," he sayi,"'sad generally prefer email fortunesglowly accuniu.ted to great risks in-

cidental to aequirinf rapid or Urge for¬tunes. After realising a surBcient sumto yield a moderate income they pre rerto retire from business rather than in-car the risk of losing all the* baretoiled for."

In Switzerland, according to ConsulM. J. Cramer, thc condition of com¬

mercial affairs when the report was

made rendered it exceedingly difficultto gain a fortune by trading. "Notinfrequently," wrote the Consul.4i long-established fortunes become heavily in¬volved." Writing from St. OaU, in theFame country, Consul E. P. llcauchampgave it as his opinion that *. fortunesare not readily made and arc very easilylost."At Florence, Italy, Deputy Consul

Spirito Berrard found that 44 the Tuscangenerally, and the Florentine especially,prefers a moderate business to suddenriches." Only by speculations are for¬tunes readily made, and thc sudden ac¬

quisition or loss of a fortune is un¬

known " unless it occssionaUy mayoccur in gambling among thc higherclasses or through some one guess-ing fortunate numbers in the Gov¬ernment lottery." From Venice,Consul Walter B. Noyes wrote:" The great characteristic of Vene¬tian commerce it its stability. Then-is little chance for sudden revol'iUon-of public or private fortune. * * .

Production is always scanty, andspeculation finds neither the means, thematerial, nor the market. Fort-mo¬an- being made, but' only by thrift andfrugality." From Spain and Portugalcome reports of an absence of thespeculative element in business life.The Consul at Cadiz noted " a laudabledisposition to eliminate every form ofgambling from business method*."

Consul-General David H. .Strother*wrote of Mexico that '"excepting thorare possibility of striking a . bonanza '

in a silver-mine or drawing the capitalarise in the Havana lottery, thettfiaVllaition fla wealth in Mexico is aa uncertainand laborious as in most other coun¬

tries. On thc other hand, notwith¬standing the unwise and vexations reve¬

nue lsws that embarrass commerce andcripple industry, snd the cumbersomeforms tlisrt render sll legal business in-siifloralily slow and intolerably expen¬sive, fortunes here, with prudent man¬

agement, are about as safe and as easilyretained iinimpnir-d as in most othercivilized countries."

fifty-eight years old in January, was a

Ithad been his custom for a number ofyears to go with me and other friendsto the Adirondacks for trout-fishing, andit was but a short time ago thst he de¬cided to go with me to the mountainsfor a week in the first part of JnucWe had talked it over, and though atfirst he objected, he finally becamequite elated over the idea. " He was acrack shot," continued Mr. Abbott.44 and the only way I can account forhis having fired three shots and bittinghimself but once is this: The weaponthat he used and which he kept loadedis an old one, and probably has notbeen fired for years. He knew that inall probability it was rusty snd per¬haps not in working order, and to testit he fired it twice in the wall, sndthen, finding it all right, placed it to histemple and fired the fatal shot."
