New York. March s.-New York is the
metropolis of America. It is also the
Mecca of m~illionaires. for within the past
five years more than five hundred mill

OF European rulers are scanned with
the closest scrutiny, for, although "the

In the case of the German emperor-

Senator Clark made his money in the
gold, silver and copper mines OF Mon
tana and Arizona. Thirty years ago 1t
IS said that he arrived in Montana ut
the head of a mule train owning q. lit
tie more than the pick and shovel which
ne carried over his shoulder. After
working a short while he saved money
enough to open a general store in Butte
City. This succeeded splendidly, anG
soon he had accumulated the price of
some choice mining clailns. Every en-
terprise into which he entered yielded
MIN a fortune, until he soon became
known as a millionaire of the West.
He is the largest individual owner Of
mines and smelters in the world, and is
president of bank in Denver, Col,
and another in Butte City, Mont. Some
years ago he entered into politics, OF
which he is very fond, but he was de-
feated twice before he was finally elect
ed to the senate. The senator is very
proud OF the hard work which he did in
the early years Of his life, SO much SO
that the checks of the banks of which
he is president bear pictures of himself
in his rough miners clothes.
HOME OF YERKEs,
Another rich citizen of the West who.
1t may be said, set the pace for other
m~tllionaires, coming here, is Charles II.
Yerkes, formerly Of Chicago. He came
here five years ago and bought the plot
at the southeast corner of Sixty-eighth
street n Fifth avenue, which has "a
frontal Of 81 feet on ''The Avenue" and
126 feet on Sixty-eighth street.
Upon this plot there stands one of the
finest mansions in Gotham. The walls
are hung with Mr.. Yerkes' world famed
collection Of the masters, valued at
$4,000, 600. The mansion is only nine
blocks ava from the Clark residence,
n is situated near the residences of the
Astors, Goulds, Drexels, Belmonts and
other notable New Workers. The house

WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

With women owning vast real estate
holdings, immense blocks of stock in
corporations, growing III intelligence
and experience in public affairs and
becoming factors in the professions AMI
industries, it does seem that an anti,
suffrage argument has little but an
oldtime and illogical sentiment to rest
upon. We are not just prepared to
go into the details of the subject. but
We venture the prediction that the
twentieth century will not be of voting
age before mans monopoly OF the
ballot will have passed into history.
Women will not be permitted suffrage
all at once, but she will acquire the
privilege step by step-frst school
elections, then municipal. until finally
the state and nation will gracefully
yield 10 the inevitable. Properly re.
Strlcyons, educauOna tests and social
relations will be applied for 4 while,
but ultimately these barriers will be
burned away and woman will stand
beside her brother with an equal
chance IN law and personality 10 make
herself what 10d intended she sheuld
be. Woman suffrage may be like
unto mirage ahead. but it is coming
nevertheless, because no power on
earth can withstand the force Of the
tacttul system OF agitation and orsani,
Eaion under which the brainiest
women Of both races are working.
