What George W. Childs Is Said to Spend.

Take our good friend George AY. Childs, of the Philadelphia Ledger, for instance. He not only lives in gorgeous style in Philadelphia and has a magnificent estate at Wooton, but maintains a charming residence at Long Branch, and now contemplates, I see, the erection of a monumentally superb mansion in Newport. There are very few noblemen who spend the money annually that Mr. Childs spends. They can’t afford it. Already a very, very rich man, with an income from his paper of over SI,OOO a day, Mr. Childs finds it a very easy matter to spend in the course of tho summer $250,000, and yet he keeps no yacht.— Howard, in Boston Globe.
