Have Control of Millions

Wealth That Aggregates $365,000,000 Is Intrusted to the Management of Four Women. New York state courts have designated Miss Christina Arbuckle, who 1b aged seventy-two, as administrator of the $35,000,000 estate left by her brother, Mr. John Arbuckle, the “sugar kind,” who died intestate last March. This makes four American women who have the exclusive control over enormous fortunes, the other being Mrs. E. H. Harrimap, to whom the late railway magnate bequeathed $150,000,000; MrsT Russell Sage, whose husband left her $80,000,000; and Mrs. Hetty Green, whose own estate In valued at $100,000,000. These four women thus have the exclusive management of property of a total value of $365,000,000. The newest recruit to the ranks of feminine multi-millionaires has the

same personal characteristics which distinguish the three others. She lives simply, enjoying the company of old friends, never flaunts her wealth, and gives her spare time to charitable work, which she accomplishes as secretly as possible. Miss Arbuckle shares with her sister and nephew the income of the estate which' she now will manage, they being the late “sugar king’s” only surviving near relatives. She assisted Mr. Arbuckle in the management of his fortune for a number of years before his death, and is thoroughly familiar with the details of its administration. She intends particularly to continue her brother’s philanthropic work in connection with the Brooklyn church of which the late Henry Ward Beecher was pastor.
