A survey notes that wealth spreads globally beyond famous American tycoons like Astor Rockefeller and Vanderbilt. It highlights European princes, German magnates such as Krupp, and the Rothschilds, tracing origins from a Frankfurt pawnshop to vast, diversified holdings and worldwide financial influence. It also references Russian magnates and the enduring power of long-established families in shaping global wealth.
The article catalogs vast riches across Asia, Europe, and the Americas, naming Li Hung Chang as the world’s richest man, Chank Yi as China’s iron and coal king, and other royalty with fortunes in the hundreds of millions. It notes Bank of England holdings and declares Mexico’s vainly unaudited John Smith among the world’s multi millionaires while a separate scene on a Chicago street reports a clash of musicians with cranks and a blind-deaf performer amid a noisy crowd.
A fragment describes Paris eateries that cater to American art students with cheap dinners. Meals range from bread and soup to meat, vegetables, and salad for about one franc, plus a half bottle of wine. It notes low wine quality, government water, and practical advice on child exposure to sun and outdoor time for babies.
The Chicago Times-Herald reports on Alderman Michael Kenna known as Hinky Dink returning from a four week Atlantic coast trip and visiting New York and Philadelphia. It notes Henrietta's restaurant in Leopold Robert street with mural art by Miss Mumford and Miss Lunborg attracting American patrons, plus others like Josephine's and Thomas in the American students’ quarter. The piece highlights affordable dining for artists and students, the club restaurant frieze, and the evolving cafe scene near the art clubs and riverfront.
An article on infant weight gain from birth to one year, comparing bottle fed and nursing babies. It covers weekly gains, milestones from head control to walking, and advises on food, teething impact, and general care. It also includes anecdotal notes from New York City and various leisure venues observed by a traveler.
The piece clarifies that the so called funny bone is not a bone but a nerve near the surface. A knock or blow to this area produces the familiar tingling pain that travels into the arm and fingers.
