THE RICHEST NATION.
A Noted English Stnttstician Puts the
United States at the Top
OF the Heap.

Mr.. Michael G. Mulhall, the noted
English statistician, is clearly of the
opinion that no other nation compares
with ours In all the essential elements
that go to make up aggregate wealth.
He also notes the fact that while the
most of European countries have at
tained their growth, the United States
is apparently on the threshold of an
industrial development which it has
never dreamed of before,
Mr. Mulhall submits the following
table of estimates rs being the result
of careful and comprehensive inves-
tigation into the sources of national
wealth In the several countriea!

A Book for the People.

Senator Stewart has written a grant
book for the instruction of the masses
The title chosen for the little volume i:
Analysis of the Functions of Money
From Senator Stewards exhaustless store
of knowledge on the science of money he
has placed in a small volume of "a pages
complete text of the ''money question, ,
question that is bound to overtop al
other political questions for the mex
quarter of a century, if not longer. 1t i:
question which the American people
must study whether they wish to or no
1t is the question which lies at the root o.
every business in the universe, is the die
tator and shaper of present and future
civilization. 1t overtops State and church
holds society i'll the heart of its hand.
The following dedication of this little
volume furnishes all inkling of the
authors object and the bearing Of the
contents. Every young man and woman
ought to read it.
This little volume is dedicated to the young
men and women of the United States who are con
templating matrimony with its inevitable respon
sibilities. The comforts of life with which the
young women of this country have been sur
rounded in the homes of their fathers built in the
better days of the Republic, cannot be provided
by the young men of the present day on account
of the hard conditions which environ them. The
families and friends of young women oppose their
marriage with young men otherwise worthy, on
account of the fear that it will be impossible fol
the united efforts of both to save them from
poverty and want.
The author believes that a careful study of this
book will enable the people, through the intel
igen exercise OF the elective franchise. to restore
the conditions enjoyed by former generations
our vast domain. If this can be accomplished
the barrier which fear of poverty has erected be-
tween the young men and women of the country
will be removed and the sacrament of marriage
will agaia promise happiness, prosperity and
progress. WM. NJ. STEWART.
The price of the volume is rs cents,
and can be secured by application through
this office; or for $I.oo one years sub
scription and the book will be furnished

that thu Matinee Musicale was repre-.

also from tho fact that Mrs. Campbell
was not only made a member Ct the

duty it will be to provide artists for

Fifty-six clubs were represented at

the election of the president. In the
informal ballot 80 votes were polled,
Mrs. Sutro, the temporary president, re.
ceiving but twelve. In the first formal
and decisive ballot the latter number
remained the same, while the western
candidate, Mrs. Uhl, received the re-.

Rapids of which she was president for
many years. the st. Cecilia society, has
always been an import ant organization
and has the honor OF owning the largest
musical club building IN this country.
1t was during Mrs. Uhls absence in
Germany last spring that the temporary
federation OF musical clubs was formed
in New York AMI Mis-. Sutro had done
such excellent work IN that line in con.
nection with the Nashville Exposition
that she was naturally chosen first
president. In many respects it is wise
to have the chief officer in more CEN
trail location.
Besides the regular officers, four sec.
tional vice-presidents were chosen, rep
resenting the east, the west, the north
and the south, and each section is en-
titled to two representatives on the
Board of Directors. Naturally the
western diyi-ion is much the largest,
including all west OF the longitudinal
line passing through st. Paul. The
western vice president is Miss Trevett
Of Portland, Oregon, and the two direct
ors are Mrs. Campbell If Lincoln and
Miss j. w. Hart OF Kansas.
The constitution adopted provides
that only musical clubs with women
for their officers may be admitted to the
federation aud musical departments Of
women's clubs are not eligible.
