Seventy Million People Have Money OF
This Race.

1t is really race between the inter-
ests of the debtors and the creditors OF
this country. Contrary to the general
supposition, there are not more debtors
than creditors, but four or five times as
many creditors as debtors, and, strange
TO say, the debtors are not the poor and
downtrodden of the country, but are the
comparatively well to do. The great
debtors of this country are railroads,
insurance companies and transporta-
tion, manufacturing and mercantile
corporations and companies. One-half
of the $4,000, 100000 of mortgage in
debtedness Of this country Is in the
states of New York, Pennsylvania, Hi
nois and Massachusetts, and mostly in
the great cities Of these states. Less
than two-afths of our total mortgage
Indebtedness is on farms OF acres"
The total number of mortgages Is A.
777, COS. Now, who are the rich" cred
itors? Depositors in savings and other
banks and trust companies, and stock
holders in building and loan associa-
hpns. There are over 10, 900 900 of them.
lD3Te are HU itdSt lO,OOO,UUu litOIS WIN
hold life insurance policies or who are
members of cooperative, fraternal and
industrial aid and benefit associations,
into which organizations they have paid
good money. The average amount to
the credit of each of our 10000, 900 cred
itors is about $500. The average amount
of each debt is over 81, 300. Poor people
cannot give mortgages of over $1,000,
If free coinage wins, 2o,00o,o 900 creditors
will lose an average of about $3.50 each
and 5000, 900 debtors will win an aver
age of about $3.50 each. If sound cur
Iency wins, neither debtors nor cred
itors will gain or lose anything except
time lost while attending the race.
AS this is race of an up to date with
an out of date boat, and one in which
the sympathies and interests of four
fifths of the spectators are, or should
be, with the crew in the modern boat
fhere can b, little doubt as to the re
suit.

Parkersburg, w. Va, June 15.-The
reporter was shown an oil lease today
covering 800 acres OF valuable terri
tory in the Williamson field. The
lease is on the farm of j. j. Bartlett,
lying only few miles back of Will
liamstown and is held by j. NJ Lats-
chaw, of Marietta. The provisions are
that if a well is not down in thirty
days the lease is void. Latschaw is

Kathryn
Kiddor's
Lingorie

Probably no member of the dramatic
profession is more devoted to that delicate
and dainty lingerie which is so distinctly
French than Kathryn Kidder, or Madame
Sans Gene, as her friends love to call her.
Any bride might well envy the dozens of
sets OF finest cambria un derwear, which
are marvels of art in the way of tucking
and lace trimm ings, and which are kept
carefully in lavender and replenished each
month by Miss Kidder's French maid
Miss K1dder takes most pride, however, in
her beautiful skirts ard corsets, and that
fact causes little wonder to those who have
had peep at the exquisite combinations.
They come direct from the hands of the
Parisian modiste, and bear the stamp of
aristocratic elegance.
One beauty is made of black satin, bro
caded in roses, with wide hounce of yell
low satin, over which Is second founce
OF black Spanish lace, fastened here and
there with butterfly bows of yellow and
black satin ribbons. The petticoat Is lined
throughout with yellow silk, edged at the
bottom with two yellow silk pinked-out
rutf1es. The corsets to match are made of
the brocaded satin, edged with yellow
satin and black lace, and laced with yell
low silk.
Another petticoat is of black satin strewn
with bouquets of colored marguerites con-
nected by garlands. This petticoat is
very wide, and on the lower part is a

A NEW WOMAN.

Miss Nethersole will bring several new
plays with her to America. among them
being a society drama by Mrs. We're Camp
bell, an Englishwoman. who is gradually
making her way into public notice. Mrs.
Campbell is a woman of extraordinary
originality of thought and method, and
her work is sure to make a great impress
sion in America. While rather OF the
idealistic school her plays and books are
tinged with morbid spirit of realism that
is almost savage in its strength. Mr.. and
Mrs. Beerbohm Tree, who think highly of
her work, have already favorably consid-
cred more than one of her plays, but
Charles Frohman has been the only man
ager who so far has given them serious at
tention. Mr.. Frohman considers that
Mrs. CampbelPs play will prove tower
of strength in Miss Nethersole's roper

puckered double hounce of black lace,
embroidered with pastilles de sole, the
first tiounce being straight and the second
undulated. They are kept in place by
artistic bows of black mousseIine de sole,
surmounted by little accordion-plaited
crest OF the same material, supported by q
thin brass wire. Below the lace founces,
to support them, is a hounce OF broche
satin, like the ground of the petticoat. 1t
is lined with rose taffeta, which makes it
more comfortable, and terminates in two
balayeuses de coupees.
A more elegant petticoat for evening
wear is of silk stuff, embroidered with large
flowers in maize and heliotrope. The
skirt. of broche, is cut in points, which rest
on deep fiounce of plated maize taffeta,
showing a little border of heliotrope
hounce. These founces are covered with

bouquets. 1t is cut into five large teeth,
which fall over 1ounce of rose taffeta de
chine, which is itself trimmed with two
puckered f1ounces of taffeta. A tiounce of
accordion plated mousseline de sole wells
the taffeta founces. This flounce is orna-
caented with two insertions of lace, five
centimeters apart. They are plated like
the mousselIne de sole.
The top OF the hounce is formed by a
little rouche bouilIonne of mastic NOUS
seine de sole. Between each of the teeth
OF the skirt is an insertion of lace over
rose satin. This insertion is fixed by
Louis XVI bows Of satin ribbon. The pet
t1coat, which is very soft In front, is lined
with rose taffeta de chine.
One of Miss Kidder's favorites is of silk
stuff, embroidered at the top with vert
d'eau glace, with white. The lower pa TT
is of white poult de sole, with scalloped
hounces, over which is a deep dounce of
cream mousseline de sole, adorned with
i've plaits trimmed with cream-coIored
lace, in imitation of Mechlin. The top of
the tiounce is trimmed with lace and bows
OF white satin ribbon, Louis XVI style
The ends of the bows hang over the fluffy
fiounce. This petticoat, which is charm
ing, is lined throughout with satin.
Several petticoats are of pretty Scotch
taffeta in different shades, the fiounces
surrounded by ruching of the taffeta, be-
low which are three sweeping fiounces in
corresponding shades of silk. There is
one pretty affair of yellow taffeta, com
posed of three hounces placed one above
the other and ornamented with ruches of
taffeta. The bottom founce is straight,
while the two others are considerably un-
dulated. This particular petticoat, which
is four meters round, is not lined, but is
adorned below with two balayeuse f1ounces.
Each OF these exquisite com binations is
matched by pair of corsets in the same
shade, color and design, and trimmed in
variabIy with quantity of Valenciennes,
lace, by the way, of which the young
star is particularly fond.

COLUMBIA IHEATER.

'The Wife" which the FrawIey Com
pany will produce for the first time in this
City tomorrow night at the Colum bia
Theater, is an American drama, which is
said to depend for its interest upon legiti-
mate emotion. There are no disagreeable
social problems in the play, and no sur
reptitious interest is given by the intro
ductIon OF speciaities or mechanical eff
fects.
The story is that of girl who is tricked
by an unworthy rival into discarding her
lover and marrying man who has always
had her respect but not her love. He
proves his worthiness of her considera-
ton, when he finds that he himself, no
less than his wife. has been the victim OF
a mistake. On account of his forbearance
and manly conduct under his trouble, the
heroine learns to love her husband. and
