BY the end of the season New York will
have spent S1SOOOOOO on amusements, thea
tiers. operas and concerts in a single year.
Never before has the metropolis enjoyed
a more prosperous amusement season. The
Hippodrome alone averaged S26, 900 a week
for forty weeks. a total OF nearly $500 900.
The Metropolitan Opera house for seventeen
weeks averaged $4,000 a week, total Of
81, 100000. Manhattan Opera house has va
ried more, according to the casts offered,
but has averaged $4,000 a week for twenty
weeks, total Of $500, 900. Nearly 100000
has been expended to support two rival
operas. The number OF concerts in such
places as Carnegie hall, where symphony
organizations perform; Mendelssohn hall
and a multitude of lesser places is almost
inconceivable. Nearly all have been we'll

Present indications are that the spring
and summer rush to Europe will be un-
precedented and that all of the trans
atlantic lines will be taxed to their utmost
capacity to carry the large number Of per
sons who are seeking passage. The ad-
vance booking Of the big lines is pretty
we'll made up and this list shows that many
of the best suites on the flyers have been
engaged far ahead. One line is building ad-
ditional suites on its steamers to meet the
rush.
While the steamship men are optimistic,
they do not want it understood that there
is still no chance to obtain the best OF ac-
commodations They point out that while
the booking shows a great increase there
are many who change their minds and so
the liners may be said still to have a sign
out, Room for one more" 1t is believed,
too, that the present slump in the stock
market may affect the plans of some who
had intended 70 make the trip to the other
side.
The principal cause assigned for thi7 -ush
is the great prosperity of this rs.
This view is borne out, too by the large
increase in the number of automobiles that
are being shipped to the other side this
year One steamship company received a
communication from man who wanted to
obtain one of the best suites on the best
boat, but he made It a condition that the
line should map out for him an automobile
tour of the old world.

Although she is II years old, Mrs. Fran
els Metz, wife of Controller Metz of New
York City surprised and put to rout two
husky burglars who were ransacking her
home In Newark, N. j., in which she lives
alone. Mrs. Metz was aroused by a noise
made by the burglars in packing up her
silverware and jewelry. Selling a revolver,
she found them in another room. AS she
appeared the burglars fled downstairs and
out through a window with Mrs. Metz in
hot pursuit.
AS they went over the back yard fence
Mrs. Metz took three shots at them. This
served as an alarm for the police and so
frightened the burglars that they dropped
their booty. The police were unable to find
| the robbers.
Several years ago Mrs. Metz captured a
burglar after a desperate struggle with
him, in which she was badly beaten.
