How these dividends added to the wealth of the investor is easily reckoned On hundred dollars in 1857 bought one share of stock and the purchaser re- ceiyed $6.50 cash dividends; in 1858 he received $500 in cash and four shares and 47l00 in addi- ton. In 1859 he was. therefore. the owner of SAY shares of par value of $547 and received in cash per cent thereon, or $l04o; in 860 he got per cent, or $27.35 and the same in 1861. In 1862 ns got $27 26 per cent of stock. which increased nis holdings to seven shares of $700. and this he ceived per cent in cash. or $63.O0. In 1865 he received another stock dividend of l33 3 per cent. making his holding 6 l-3 shares. or $l.633. on which amount he was paid 9 per cent in cash. or $l46.o7. In 1864 he received another stock dvi- end of 100 perecent. making his total holdings s., sold at 225-therefore. his holdings actually worth $7.348. Add to this amount of cash divi- dends received ($l42.34) and the total profit on $l00 for eight years was $7.490.34.
 True. there had been times prior to 1857 when. excited by false rmors and the desire of rival systems to despoil the company. many stockholders were willing to sacrifice their holdings at any old price. but the farseeing man. the of grit and courage. put his stock in safe deposit forgot that he owned --and got rich.
 It is instructive in this connection to examine the record of the year 1904 of the Western Union ree- graph Company Its authorized capital consists of one hundred million dollars. of which $o7. .370. 900 in outstanding and $29 495. .000 in the treasury It has, in addition to its capital stock. liabilities of $46. l68. .6o3. of which amount sixteen millions is for accumulated surplus or undivided profits. Its ings for 1903 were $2o .249.930. of which $7.S67. 474 was profit. Among its officers and directors are some of the men concerned in the original consoida- ton. In 1877 there were over lo.000 stockholders Statistics not obtainable the number of stock holders in the company today-it is presumably much larger.

The more conservative Morse methods-not being specacular-did>6ot attract the the gambling element and O'RiIey stock sold rapidly. Y
 ' But the Morse companies built for business and their earnings eventually made an impression that all of Rileys advertising could not counteract ORiley companies losing money. So when shrewd Ezra Cornell saw the time ripe for it. he proposed solidaton of his interests with the strongest of the ORiley companies. and brought about financial triumph for the Morse system which subsequently oh tained judicial triumph well.

THE FAIR SEX
IN MAJORITY IN
RHODE ISLAND

Tho statistics gathered for the state
census bureau show that while there is
a greater percentage OF women in the
state than OF men, the ratio is not so
large as at the federal census Ave years
ago.
At that time Rhode Island had a great
er proportion OF women than any state
except the District of Columbia and
Massachusetts.
That Rhode Islands textile industries,
which employ large numbers Of women
and girls. are the cause, may be seen
by the figures from the following cities
and towns:
East Providence. 4s3s per cent. males, to
81 So females; Pawtucket, 47si per cent.
males, to 52.Os per cent females; Central
