NEW CLUBS TO BE FORMED.
Meeting in the Interest Of Musical
ORGANIZATIONS at Y. M C.. A.

Pursuant to a notice which was pub
lished in the official bulletin of the Y. NJ.
c. A of this city. meeting was held last
evening in the general assembly room of
the new building on G street northwest
to talk over the formation of musical or
ganizations for the association. AS re-
suit of the gathering. which was attend
ed by more than fifty enthusiastic mem
bers Of the Y. NJ. c. A., 1T is expected that
the association will take an important
place in the musical circles of this city.
With the association orchestra already
playing together, and with a glee club and
mandolin club, the outcome Of last nights
meeting, the association will offer un-
usual musical opportunities for young
| men who have a taste in that direction.
After the facilities of the Y. M. c. A.
were improved by the new building II
was thought that several association mu-
steal organizations could be formed, and
| a general invitation was sent out for all
those interested to meet last evening and
talk over the best thing to do. Percy s.
Foster took charge of the meeting, and
he at once called for opinions and discus
| sions on musical clubs for the associa-
ton. The formation of glee club was
considered, and thirty members signifled
their intention to join such a club If it is
formed. 1t is expected that even more
will join when the club is organized.
Percy 8. Foster will be the director. An
other meeting will be held in the near
future to complete the organization of
this club and to make definite arrange
ments for future meetings.
After the discussion the members pres
ent were asked to show what they could
do. The program that followed showed
that plenty of talent lies in the Y. M. c.
A. for the formation of a club. Among
those who contributed selections were
Harry ]. Allan in a tenor solo. Grave of
Napoleon;" Floria brothers in a mandolin
and guitar selection; Philip Scantlin in
tenor solo from the "Serenade;" Rev. ID.
w. Cram in a vocal selection, Sing Me to
Sleep" Fl. D. Hoover accompanied at the
piano.
The association orchestra has a mem
bership of about twenty-five and a wide
range of instruments are represented.
Under the direction of Donald A Mcleod
1t has developed rapidly, and 1t Is ex-
pected that 1t will become one of the
premier musical organizations of the
city. The formation of mandolin club,
suggested at the meeting last evening.
seems probable in the near future: There
are several members who are enthusiastic
in the hope that such a club will be
formed and they will make a canvass
among their friends to see If there are
enough volunteers to make it practicable.

PORTO RICO TO BRING SUIT.
To Recover Money Deposited on a
Bond
Special Correspondence of The Star.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
SAN JUAN, P R., November Is, 1905
The probabilities are that while Gov. Win
throp is on his present visit in the United
States he will enter into preliminary ar
rangements with some Philadelphia lawyer
to bring suit on behalf of the people of
Porto Rico to recover on the 100000 bond
deposited by the defunct Vandergrift COM
pany. The bond was secured by the Union
Surety and Guarantee Company of Phla-
delphia now out of existence. and by the
Title Guarantee and Trust Company of
Scranton, Pa, which is still doing business.
Both these concerns made themselves re-
sponsible for the full amount of the bond.
The executive council some time ago au-
thorized the attorney general to bring ac-
ton to recover on the bond and he has
been looking into the matter to determine
whether 1t would be best to bring suit here
in the United States court, or to start pro-
ceedings In Pennsylvania. He decidede that
as the company owns no property in Porte
Rico which to attach, suit must be filed In
the states.

the number who resigned was Joe M. John

rakes Issue With Commissioners.

Mai. S. NJ. Gaines of the treasury, whose
report to Secretary Shaw that cars do not
often stop for passengers led to an Of
fetal protest to the District Commissioners
recently, said today that he is heartily IN
favor Of a meeting. He has just addressed
a communication to the District Commits
s,oners, taking issue with the suggestion
that the Commissioners have no power to
require more cars. He declares that the
charters of these roads confer full authority
on the Commissioners.
r. H. Hazard. newspaper man con-
nected with the Scripps McRae Press Asso-
citation, says mass meeting Is just the
thing, and that 1t will probably show that
the people are in earnest and mean to stick
to Congress until some relief Is obtained.
1.-THE conditions on this car line have
become unbearable," he said. THE popu-
lation on the line has grown fast, and yet
the car accommodations have not kept pace
in any way. Such thing seat would
be prize The cars are filled long before
they reach the District line on their way
into the city, and 1t Is the same on their
way out. Even before they get to 18th
street outward bound, every seat is filled
People getting on at 9th. 7th and elsewhere
must wedge themselves into any little hole
they see handy"
The crowding Of the lines has resulted In
a number Of thefts recently by pickpockets
Some of these have been reported to the
police. IL is regarded as an easy Job for
pickpockets to get In their work under the
damned conditions on the cars morning
and afternoon. and even during the day.
Il is admitted by suburban patrons that
most of the other car lines are crowded
during portions of the day, but It is pointed
out that a city man does not mind this
crowding when he has only a short ride
of ten or fifteen minutes. The patrons of
the other lines must ride thirty to forty
minutes, and even longer. under most un-
comfortable circumstances

OF WEALTH
Humane and Victorious Japan the
Great Democracy.

The most recent statistics on wealth
in America, which place John ID.
Rockefeller alone in the Millionaire
class and show the multiplication OF
m~illio1aires on every hand, has drawn
attention to the amazing rapidity with
which this class of business men has
literally sprung up within as short a
space as so years
1t was not much longer ago than that
that a list of the rich men OF New
York city was prepared and published
by Moses Y. Beach. He gave the names
Of 1924 men who possessed 500, 600,
and there were only % men who could
be called millionalres. The census CT
millionaires in New York at that time
meant practically all in the United
States.
Today there are in America SGT
millionaires, a little less than half the
known number OF millionaires in the
entire world, which is 10.0S7.
The richest man in the world, ac-
cording to common belief, is the Car
of Russia, whose private wealth is
placed at $4,000, 000, 900. Perhaps il
the wealth OF the Shah OF Persia, who
wears a single green stone in his .lr-
ban worth 81, 600, 900, could be counted,
it would be found hat he is the veal
thiest man in tie world, because he
actually owns all of Persia.
The man with 81, 900, 900 nowadays
is not wealthy. His means are small.
It is the day of the multi-millionai7e,
even such men as Sir Thomas Upton,
with only from $10,O 600, 900 to $25, OU0,-
900, being counted small fry. The
men who stand out are those whose
wealth exceeds 500, 00o, 900, n they
are numerous.
There are 40 millionaires in Russia,
and not n in Japan a " the Mikado
himself. In all the Japanese empire
there are but AL fortunes of as much
as $685. 600 each. One of the kings OF
finance might buy them all. Bu.
wealth is evenly distributed in Japan,
and there are no paupers. On the
other hand, Russia is noted for the ex-
travagance of her wealthy class AID
the wretchedness of her poor.-Ex-

THE ASSAULT ON MRS. WIGGINS

The Monroe Enquirer in an editorial
on the assault by the man Feather
stone, of Asheville, on Mrs. Virgins
utters sentiments not often found in
the expressions of opinion of southern
editors. He says 1.-The woman was out
OF her place and it is no Use in getting
red in the face about the treatment
she received" Admitting for the sake
Of argument that Mrs. Virgins should
not have gone into the barroom, was
that any excuse for the treatment she
received at the hands of the brute?
Is it not against the principles and the
sense of honor and Of chivalry of all
southern men to assault, beat and kick
women? Whether they r out Of
their place or not they are treated with
respect by all men who have respect
for themselves. The Enquirer says
Mrs. Virgins had gone into the booze
works to do missionary work among
the old soaks there" She Was there
simply for b purpose OF asking con
tributions from those present to aid
in carrying OF the good York of the
religious organization to which she be-
longei. She was there in the interest
of a good work. She was a chaste,
lady-like woman and her character
and her sex should have defended her
against the brutal assaults of all men
no matter where her good work called
her and also against the slurs of any
newspaper for doing her duty as she
saw it. The Enquirer closes its re-
markable article on this matter in
these words:
We have no more censure for Feath-
erstone who kicked the woman out
who tried to interfere with his bust
ness than we ave for the fellows who
walked UP to the polls and voted ITO
give him m his ilk license to deal
out LIQUOR to the poor fools who pat
roniZe them.
We do not believe the editor Of The
Enquirer meant to say what his words
imply. in the above article. In riding
his prohibition hobby blindly he has
un~thoughtedly trampled upon the feel
ings of a good woman.
