Prosperity In Wall street.

In the last six months fortunes ag-
gregating $e15, 603, sol have been made
In Wall street. The total increase in
valuations Of oil the stocks and bonds
listed on tho stock exchange aggregate
that enormous sum.
1t represents in money nearly three
times that of all the gold dug out Of
the earth for q year. The total gold
output Of all the gold producing coun-
tries in the world for 1897 was $780,
504, 800. The increase in value of only
small group-twenty-three in num-
ber--of tho most active stocks alone
was we'll on toward double this
amount
The history Of Wall street, of the
world in fact, has nothing to equal
this prodigious piling up of furtunes.
The El Dorado days Of California in
40, the rioting in wealth which fol-
lowed the opening up of the Austria
liam and African gold fields, the Klon-
dixie, the South African diamond
mines-all of these rolled into one have
nothing to parallel the deluge on
wealth which poured down upon that
one little corner OF New York known
the "Wall street region"
And it is not merely the Croesuses
who have profited Dozens and dozens
Of little fellows" have darted into the
tumultuous torrent Of speculation and
darted out again, hugging to their
breasts fortunes ranging from tens to
hundreds OF thousands. The bigger
plungers brought up millions. The
Croesuses the Rockfellers, the Wander
bilts, the Sages, have landed millions
that are counted up anywhere from
the tens to the thirties.

1HE LASr ENGAGEMENT.

The troops in the Philippines had an
other brush with the natives yesterday,
with the usual result, though they suf-
fered temporary repulse at the out
set. Judged from other engagements
which at this distance seem to have
been of much greater magnitude, the
casualties on the side of the United
States troops appear to have been
heavy. due to the fact that the natives
were well .entrenched, and were driven
from their strong position by cour-
ageous charge. The natives stood their
ground much better, it would seem,
from the meagre reports of the affair,
than in previous engagements, and
only deserted their earthworks when
the American troops reached for them
with their hands. The victory is sad
dened by the loss of two gallant Off
GERS. one of whom, Col. Stetsenburg,
had won a reputation on many fields in
the regular service, as one of the
brayest fighters in the army. The
fate of both was particularly pathetic.
Col. Stetsenburg had just left his fam
lily at Manila and came upon the field
while the engagement was in progress.
He Immediately ordered a charge, and
fell at the head of his regiment.

THEATRICAL NOTES.

Owing to cancelling of dates. the
Worcester Theatre and the Waite COM
pany both find themselves diseneaged
today. Accordingly Manager Waite has
decided to remain in town and present
this evening the comedy, The Man
from Cattaraugus, in which he him
self appears in the title role The piece
is full of fun and humor, and the COM
panys regular low rates of admission
will prevail Cheek will be put on
for a matinee this afternoon.
Clean, intelligent fun is the order of
the week at Lothrops, where Walter
Perkins is to give My Friend from
India" for the first time in this city
at popular prices. This play is the
greatest farcfcal success that the coun-
try has experienced for a decade. It
has appeared several times at the Wor-
cester Theatre, invariably bringing
huge delight to its audiences, and now
IS offered for the delectation of the
habitues Of Pleasant street. There has
been large advance sale.
The unique attraction of a bevy of
trained bears will be the chief drawing
card at the Park the current week.
These fierce but intelligent animals
have been perfectly domesticated, and
follow their masters bidding in a way
little short Of marvellous. Scientists
say that next to the elephant, the bear
has the largest proportionate brain
power Of the quadrupeds, so there is
opportunity for a skilled animal trainer
to produce some startling effects. Six
entertaining vaudeville acts will
lengthen out the program to the regu-
lar limits.

AN INFORMAL STARTER.
Frohs'nns viii Really Dedicate New Home
Tonight.

The Frohsinn society informally
opened its new home on Waldo street
last night, with a sacred concert, and
incidentally started on two nights
celebration of the 41st anniversary of
the organization of the society.
The formal opening will take place
tonight, when His Honor Mayor Dodge
and the city government are expected
to be present.
The exercises will open with a selec-
ton by the Frohsinn Orchestra, under
the leadership of Michael Riedl. A
song will be given by the Gesang
Verein Frohsinn, and B. j. Bertels,
chairman of the new building commit
tee, will make an address and deliver
the keys of the new rooms over to
President w. G. Lichtenfels. Mr.
Lichtenfels will act as master of cere-
monies, and Mayor Dodge and other
members of the city government are
expected to speak
After the speechmaking, a banquet
will be served in the banquet hall, fol-
lowed by dancing.
At the sacred concert last night
about 400 members and their friends
were present, and the new home of
the society was crowded The stage
in the main hall or meeting rooom was
tastefully decorated with a large shield
as a centre piece, bearing the name of
the society, Illuminated with red and
yellow lights.
On each side the American and Ger
man flags were hung and on top there
were three stars of red, white and
blue The flags of America and Ger
many were drapped in the rear of the
hall and the Frohsinn banner was sus-
pended from the centre of the bal
cony.
The main hall will seat about 500
people and is finished in quartered
oak. In the rear of the hall is
a reception room for ladies and
smoking room for men. The society
will occupy two floors and upstairs is a
banquet hall and cook room that
makes the new Frohsinn home one of
the best appointed club rooms in the
city.
The committee on new rooms is Pres
ident w. G. Lichtenfels, B. ]. Bertels,
H. F. A. Lange, Ward P. Delano and
Leopold Strauss.
A telegram was received from the
Frohsinn society of Boston by Presi-
dent Lichtenfels early in the evening,
wishing the local society success in its
new home.

and charitable offices, for which their
special fitness is recognized, women in
the equal suffrage states have not held
office in nearly as large numbers as
the men. In Wyoming, where women
have had full suffrage for 80 years, no
woman has ever been member of the
legislature. The men say that women
could not be elected if they chose, but
that they do not care to stand The
Colorado legislature has between one
and two hundred members. To each of
the three legislatures elected there since
woman suffrage was granted, three wo-
men have been chosen. Three were
members of the Idaho legislature that
has just adjourned, the first in that
state to which women have. been elig-
ible. The last legislature of Utah had
only two women members, one in the
House and one in the senate.
Municipal suffrage was granted in
Kansas in 1887. During the past 70
years in the 300 cities of Kansas, about
1900 men have been elected mayors, and
only 16 women. The women elected
have generally done good service. and
no doubt their numbers will gradually
increase; but experience thus far dis
proves the fear that so many women
will at once rush into office that none
will be left to do charitable or @pllikan-
thropic work.
Mrs. Sedgewick is reported as say
ing: But if only 10 women out Of 100
are to engage actively in politics, that
means that 80 in the 100 will cast an
uninstructed VOTE
This is what a college professor of
my acquaintance used to- call "a mon
sequitur by a thousand miles" If only
10 men out of 100 engage in politics
so actively as to have no time. left for
anything else, does it follow that 80
men out of every 100 must cast an un-
instructed vote? Is it necessary to~de-
vote ones life to politics in ordeFeto be
well informed about public affairs?
Hardly, when The Spy and the lother
daily papers bring abundant ipforma-
ton to every citizens doors. Indeed,
officers of the Anti-S Suffrage association
assure us that it is every intelligent
womans duty to inform herself about
public affairs, if only lin order to in
fluence her husband to vote the right
way.
Last summer met President Slocum
of Colorado college, and was glad to
find him emphatic in his testimony to
the good effects of equal suffrage. l
took the opportunity to ask him whe-
Their it was burden and Inconvenience
to women to find the time to inform
themselves on public questions, so as
to vote intelligently. He looked at me
with some surprise and answered;
These are question on which all intel
ligent women ought to inform thin
selves, whether they are voters or
not" Az

Kettle Brook Cases Will Be

Announced.

eve are not half satisfied with the
award, and you may say that we will
appeal" This was the remark to The
Spy man of Henry w. King, counsel
for the GAINESVILLE Manufacturing
Company at the time the Kettle
brook commission made it's report, and
now the formal notice of appeal is
ready, and will probably be filed in the
superior court today.
All the petitioners in the original
Kettle Brook suits, whose cases were
heard before the Bumpus commission,
so-called, have followed out their orig
inal course, and the petitions for Tor
NAL jury trials of all the Kettle brook
cases will be filed at once, the notices
of appeal having all been signed by
Frank P. Goulding and Blackmer q
Vaughan, counsel for the petitioners.
The petitioners have one more month
in which to file the notice of the appeal
which has been announced to be taken
by the terms of the agreement by
which the cases were first heard by the
Kettle brook commission.
For some weeks lawyers have been
specializing upon the effect that the
trial Of all these cases is going to have
upon the courts. Olce peSuH' tiS net
tie brook cases will block all other
suits, and practically stop the courts
for other business for many months.
Each case will require two days or
more for the submission of evidence,
and upon this basis over $50 court
days would be occupied.
This is the lowest limit, and from
this consideration the members of the
bar have been wondering for many
weeks, since the report of the com
mission was filed and the petitioners
stated that they would not accept it,
how the regular court cases are going
to fare when the Kettle brook list is
once entered upon. The cost to the
county, city, etc., will rise to high fig

The diplomatic conventionalities
may possibly make it necessary for
the president and Secretary Long to
mildly rebuke Capt. Coghlan for his
fine outburst at the Union League ban
quet. But they are grinning in their
sleeves, all the same, and their hearts
are trimming with genuine American
pride and admiration. Never fear but
what the honest CAPTAIN is slated for
advancement in the future, no matter
what the record is made to show just

that he has at last evened up the score
