Walsh, the Colorado mil- J HonahTVho was a hotelkeeoer at Lead ville when he began to accumulate the mining properties which ha,-e made him more than fifty times a million aire, riot only created a sensation socially so-cially in Europe with his lavish entertainments, enter-tainments, -but did something "else which attracted even more attention than his dinners. He became the partner part-ner of a king. The European potentates, who are always more or less short in their cash accounts, have been profoundly Interested Inter-ested in, Mr. Walsh's movements in Europe. King Leopold of Belgium met him at Ostend, and they had a grand dinner at Hotel Ritz, at which the ! czar's . band played and the great i singers of Paris were heard. In he j course of this entertainment the con- I I versation turned to finance. i The king said he -was making only 1 about 3 per cent on his investments, j Mr. Walsh, in an easy, graceful man-, man-, nef, said he was always sure of 10 per cent on his investments from 100 to 200 per cent was more accurate. He probably did not want to paralyze the king at one sitting, and so put his profits at 10 per cent. I King Leopold is the monarch who en-I en-I couraged Stanley to extend his dis- i COVtrie.S on the Cnntrr, Tho -,.,,i a lot of Belgian colonies and investments invest-ments in that country, the king having much at stake. ' It was his mines down there that he was anxious to have Mr. Walsh investigate and develop in good American style. While Mr. Walsh did not go there himself, he entered Into a business arrangement with the king, and sent trusted experts to ."size up" the mines and their value. Mrs. Walsh, to whose desire to live in Washington is due the building of a great house there by the Walshes, was a Wisconsin girl of poor parents when she married Mr. Walsh. She presided pre-sided over the great, dinners given in Europe and in Washington, where the members of the cabinet and the ambassadors am-bassadors have sat at the Walsh table.
