HOT TO HIS
World's Richest Bachelor
Has $50,000,000 Interest
in Having Protection on
Carpets Continucd-Great
Wealth Without Failings.
New York, Dec. S. Alexander Smith
Cochran, who gave 115,000 to the Re-
fiubllcan national campaign committee,
the wealthiest bachelor in America,
and probably in the world, Furthers
more, he has no Intention of taking to
himself a wife. He "aid so hlmsf1.' not
long ago In talking with an Iniimate
friend, and surely he ought to know.
"The Green Mouse, Limited," Robert
W. Chambers' latest creation, has not
got after him yet. though, so there Is
still hope for- the , eligible young
women whose mammas would be will
ing to let them change their names to
Cochran and help the young man spend
his $60,000,000.
"Thank Ood, I am still a bachelor!"
Is the way he is said to have expressed
his sentiments on the. subject of matri
mony. But you never can tell about
such things; the Very next day he may
have wondered how he ever cpuld .have
felt that way.
Mr. Cochran Is on a trip abroad, so
his present views on matrimony could
not be learnpd. Perhaps the world
would be none tho wiser If Mr. Coch
ran were within reaching distance; he
la about as talkative as the Sphinx on
questions that concern hlnjself. He
once told his life story In five printed
lines, and that Is more than anybody
has gotten out of him since. r
Wanted. High Tariff Malntained-
Hls motive in contributing $15,000 to
the Republican campaign fund Is sup-
fiosed to have been Ills Interest In hav
ng a high' protective tariff maintained.
But he did not consult anybody before
Signing tho check, and this explanation
of his reason for making the contribu
tion is only a reasonable assumption.
That Is anhther habit of Mr. Cochran's
to act for himself and say nothing about
it either before or afterward.
He would, however, havo every reason
for wishing well to tho Republican
party. He is at the head of the great
est carpet works in tho world, the
Alexander Smith Sons' company, of
yonkers. He ha 7n0 men in his em
play, whose labors turn out something
. Ilka 30 miles of carpet a day. A re
ductlon In the, tariff on manufactured
oaf pets would make a hole In his In
come beside which the $15,000 he gave
would look like 15 cents. -
But aside from his motive in wish
ing tn u M the Renubllcan party to stay
in power, a gift of $15,000 is a matter
of small moment to Mr. Cochran. Not
long ago he paid $20,000 for a rug and
sent It to the Metropolitan Museum of
Art with his card without any further
explanation. ..,
The rug is one of the prlies of the
collection and is framed In glass and
hung up like the rarest painting. He
happened to be in the museum one day
and noticed that it was deficient in fine
rugs. He did not say anything of his

found what he wanted he quietly i
hnnirht If and had it sent to tho Mu
wtiim with nhniit the same coi
concern
a blase society man would feel over
stopping at a florist's and ordering a
bunch of roses.
Even in the case of his greatest ben
efaction, a hospital at Yonkers. which
'Will coat $500,000 before it la finished
he has maintained the same absence of
uncle, the late Warren B. Smith, from
whom ha inherited a large part of his
fortune. "
Annthor viv in which he resembles
lit uncle Is In his remaining a bache
lor. Mr! Smith did not matry. and in
lils later years was seldom seen apart
from his nephew, so It did not occasion
surprise when It was found that the
young man had been made his uncle's
residuary legatee.
He's) a Bemarksble Man.
Mr. Cochran Is one of the most re
markable men living because he Js
everything he should be. everybody
agrees, and because he Is all that near
ly all other young men in his position
are not a simple, level headed, clear
sighted, honest .gentleman.
V He never has given any Indication of
accepting his great wealth otherwise
than as a matter of course. It may be
his knowledge that if he were to lose
every cent tomorrow he could still earn
a salary plenty large enough to supply
all his real wants has something to do
with his seeming disregard of his
fortune. So thorough a master of the
carpet making business has he become
i.nt Via ta nlrAArlv At hnrrilv more than
SO years, regarded as one of the world's
authorities on the subject.
" Another reason why his wealth does not
wplgh heavily upon him fs that he has
lived in an atmosphere of millions all
life life. His mother was a sister of
T-l a I , V- 1 .. V. lnhA.11,.1

$10,000,000 from her father. Then, too.
the young man's father left a like
amount after having given away $2,000,
400 In various charitable bequestR.
It could not be proved by many men,
but probably there Is not much differ
ence between $10,000,000 or $20,000,000
and $60,000,000, so far as things go
which money can buy, and from this
viewpoint ' It Is easier to conceive how
the young man can practically disregard
his great fortune without affectation.
Mr. Cochran has the figure of a well
Oeveloped athlete and the face of a. se
rious man of affairs. He is what Is
universally, recognised as -the. "clean
cut" type. He has a very strong and
finely-modeled chin a good fighting
cnin a iirm, straignt moutn ana deep
blue eyes. In repose his face is serious
and almost cold, but when he smiles he
could win the confidence of .the most
skeptical. ' dispelling In a moment the
general Impression of aloofness which
his manner Is likely to give at a casual
meetng.
Want to Work la Factory.
Ever since, as a small boy. he entered
fit John's school, he has had this repu
tation or aeep reserve, due in a nuiei
way he has made many friends. While
he was at Yale, from which he was
graduated In 1894. he was one of the
most respected members of the under
graduate body. He did not take any
active part In athletics, but he was
deeply Interested, especially in the track
team. ....
But when he entered the great car
pet works Immediately after his gradua
tion the real test of his manhood came.
Almost ever avenue in life was open
to him society, sports er a' profession
hut to the surprise of all except a
few who knew his real character ho
chose to enter the carpet works at the
bottom of the ladder,- following the ex
ample of his father, his grandfather and
his great grandfather.
, From the time the whistle blew In the
early morning until 6 o'clock at night
he worked -for several years side by side
with the men whose dally bread was
solely dependent upon their Industry.
nhevcxf the same rules as the regu
lar employes and. gave no Indlcation-t
that mere was any omertuw ntiwnn
him and them. - ' ;
When the day s work was ended he
Joined the other workmen in riding home
on a street car. No carriage or auto
mobile 'called for the young man In
those days, and none has been calling
for him since he became president of
the factory He has to walk half a
mile beyond the end of, the line to
reach his mother's home, Iwm Cragan.
which lies far hack from the street, set
In one of the finest lawns to be found

near New York,.: but he . regards that
merely as good exercise and not by any
means a hardship. Beautiful as It ls.
Dun Cragan is surpassed by iSreystone,
the famous home of fcamuel J. TUden,
now occupied by Samuel Untermyer.
After lie had . gained a- practical
knowledge of the working of -the fac
tory he took up thu sales department
and the financial side of the business,
mastering that with the' same degree
of thoroughness as the actual turning
put of the carpets. Filially- he had
learned the entire business so completely
that he had rightfully earned his place
as, president. Instead of receiving it only
by inheritance, aa would have satisfied
many young men with '$60,000,000 at
their disposal. . . . - '
It should be said, though.! in Justice
to other young men, that Mr. Cochran
aia not nave tbe taste for leisure which
has proved the undoing of others. Out

pleasure' In his horses and does and In
reading, and in rather heavy reading at

iook too much or his time and be re

The men who know Mr., Cochran, best
are the men In the great carpet fac
tory. One of them told a World re
porter;- -! . -"Mr."
Cochran 'Is' a' mlhtv fine. man.
I worked alongside of him when he was
learning . tho business, and you never
would have .known that his- ' family
owned it. He treated me and ever
body else Just as If he thought we were
as goon as ne was. He wan as friend
ly a anybody could be, and yet he is
a man you could not really be intimate
with. " ,-, '.
- "Nobody around the factory ever took
any liberties with... .Mr, Cochran; he's
not that kind of a man. . Hut he always
makes you feel that he is Interested in
you ana tnat he- Is willing to help yoti
along, He wants you to help yourself,
though, not to do -It all for you." ,
One .of Mr. Cochran's social friends
expressed. much the same sentiments re
garding hie personality. -
'"Cochran is a verv modest man," aald
this man, who knows him well. "In
fact, he is so modest that he is diffi
dent, and this diffidence gives strangers
an impression that he is haughty and
firoud. As a matter of fact, these qual
ties are absolutely lacking from bis
makeup. It is merely that be Is very
"There Is something about hfm which
commands respect, not because lie has

Cochran. He would ha just the same if
ne aid not nave a penny. He lias more
native dignity .than any mar 1 know,
and yet there is not anybody in Yonkers
more democratic than he.
"He is a religious roan, though not a
churchman. That, he is charitable we
all know, but there Is no public record
of his private charities. He gives with
absolute secrecy when he Is helping
some poor fellow out. I never knew
anybody more successful in keeping; his
right hand from knowing what his left
hand does, but if Anybody thinks he can
prey, on Cochran's sympathies he will
be rudely awakened to the man's
shrewdness.
"I don't believe he finds any particu
lar satisfaction In the money that has
come to him. Nobody outside of his
own family Is likely ever to know how
he regards .it, for I don't believe he con
fides in anybody except his mother. But
I am inclined to think that he looks
upon his millions as a verv great re-

be to do the most good with his fortune
rather than to try to Increase it."

Mr. Hough, after a hard day's work

Household Hints
By Rose Terrill
"There." said the Virginia grand
mother, giving a vigorous stir with the
wooden spoon, and sending splc
fragrance on tlte air, "if your John
doesn't like the pies made from tliiH
mince meat, he is a person of no judg
ment, and I can't believe that, my
dear, when I look at you."
Her eyes twinkled merrily as tho
face of the bride flushed with pleasure
and she said shyly:
"Of course I will tell him that you
are the one who made the mince meat
if It pleases him."
"And not if he says It , Is not good? .
Never mind who made It- Don't take
your domestic problems to John, un
less it is something he can help you
about,j If he Is expecting too fine a
table on a small allowance, then con
sult with him. Find out if he wants
to have the meals so elaborate or
and keen down expenses. I didn't make
this, but merely helped you. Another
time you will do It alone, without di
