Always the regular meetings
may be relied upon to save the
week from a sameness that is the
despair of the social chronicler,
and now a days when most of
the accustomed avenues of pleas
ure are closed, these gatherings
assume an i'm portance and claim
an interest that is shared and di-
vided by other occasions when
the season is at its height. How
ever. additions to the expected
list have been rather fuller than
usual recently, this week begin
nIng with reception, and as 1t
neared its close, bringing a like
event Wednesday the Ahdeeks

Miss Anne Louise Lee, the guests

joyed the magazine afternoon,

hiding the chandeliers, were en-
twined down the pink satin

corners Of the table, upon which
crystal and silver candelabra
rested on rose mounds. The

PREDICTS BIG PANIC.
Socialist Praises Rockefeller and Car
aegie at Ne1c-RochelLe Debate.

IN a speech before the Peoples Forum in New
Rochelle yesterday. A. Gaylord Wiltshire. Editor of
'wilshre's Magazine and wealthy socialist.
predicted that within the next twelve months this
country would experience of the greatest panics
among the unemployed ever known I'm its history,
growing out of overproduction rather the I'M
equal distribution of commodities. Mr.. Wiltshire de-
ciared that the peril could be averted only by the
adoption OF socialism. He said in part:
IF wish a more equal distribution of the
commodities produce the people must own the
machinery. the railroads. the oil wells, the coal
mines and other things. and own them through the
State"
Mr. Wiltshire said that the existence of so many
trusts were evidence Of overproduction. and
that they betokened completed state of industry.
The completion OF the railroads. the oil reneries,
steal mills, furnaces and other great industrial
plants throughout The country, he said, doing
away with the necessity for so much labor that
these plants. when they TO their full
capacity produced much than the people
were able to buy. Wages. he said, were determined
entirely by the number of unemployed men, and
not by the dividends these industries pay TO the
stockholders.
Mr.. Wiltshire praised Mr. Rockefeller, Mr. Car
negie and other industrial leaders. He said that
they probably the best to direct the
various industries they represented. and that it
not the individual but the system that should
be criticised.
The meeting was attended by about thousand
people from New-Rochelle, Mount Vernon. Yonk-
and other towns interested in the work of the
Forum. John W Boothby. New-Rochene lawyer
presided The debate was on the subject, "Single
Tax Socialism, which,
Ernst H. Crosby spoke for a single tax. He said
that the country was on the verge OF depression
but he was opposed to the adoption of socialism,
which he said would amount to throwing aside
all individual effort and adopting government con-
troll 1t was not in the AngloSaxon character, he
said. TO submit TO government control of business
affairs.
THE whole trouble" he said. sis that the people
are tied up with too many monopolies and the
monopolles in most cases the result of special
privileges. Men like Rockefeller and Carnegie
amass great fortunes because they have privileges
they ought not TO have. The government protects
them with high tariffs and the railroads give them
rates that enable them to crush out competition.
My plan" Mr.. Crosby said in closing. lis to re-
move all mOnopoles in the best way and to re-
move monopolies land and material, but
above all things leave all private business in pri-

absolute divorce in her Orange County suit
against eX-Commodore Archibald Watt William
II. Sage, jr counsel for the Rev. DR.. Van De
Water. who was named correspondent in the
counter suit. brought by the ex-commodore, yester-
day emphasized his determination TO oppose any
discontinuance of the action in this county.
ION behalf of my client, not only shall I vigor-
ously oppose any such discOntinuance." Mr.. Sage
told a Tribune reporter but l am confident of
winning my case" Mr.. sages action looks to
DR.. Van De Waters complete vndication in the
courts. 1t is considered that an investigation by
a committee from the vestry of st. Andrews, of
which DR. Van De Water is rector, could not by
It's constitution be fruitful Of the desired results.
I'VE have the right side" added Mr. Sage
and when the action up, which will be
in the special term early in 1904 have no doubt
what the outcome will be"
1t was reported yesterday that Mrs Watt was
soon TO marry but the rumOr could not be con-
frmed.
