Would Be No Chance.

During the presidential campaign the question of woman suffrage was much discussed among women pro and versation turned that way between the women guests.
 Are you woman suffragist?' asked the one who was not interested
 Indeed, am not" replied the other most emphatically
 "Oh, that's too bad, but just suppos- ing you were, whom would you sup port in the present campaign?'
 "The same man I've always support ed, of course" was the apt reply my husband"

Had an Object Lesson.

The happy mother of a seven months -old-baby, whose chief business seems to be making a noise in the world, was paying her sister visit, and the other evening young Master Harry, aged seven years, was dele gated to care for the baby while his elders were at dinner So he wheeled it back and forth, the length of the library, giving vent to his sentiments by singing, much to the amusement of the family:

financial hopes and aspirations Of those who had survived the various ills that followed in the wake sof industrial over-expansion. But since the panic clouds have cleared away there has come another and even more wonderful appreciation in values, zhe most remarkable advance in the prices of all commodities and securities that this country has ever known. Probably more millionaires have been made in the last 12 months by the steadily rising -Ezde of tremendous prosperity than history ever has recorded in a similar period of time The szgrnber of those who have grown rich quickly is greater probably than it was in the time Of mer ger and consolidation nearly decade ago. Be- fore the panic of 1907 there were. perhaps, S,oOo roiIlionaires in New York. Now there are any where between 5000 and 10000.
 The advances in the value of securities in the last two years have been almost incredible. There probably are more than 100000 persons who are stockholders of United States Steel In October. 1907 Steel Common 21H; in February, 1903, sf was 41A; this October 1t has been we'll above 90 The shares of the Pennsylvania railroad are more widely distributed than any other uanspor- aatfon line, more than 60.00o people being listed -on its books of shareholders. Two years ago It was 1O3 lately 1t has been above 150. Union Pa rifc is next to Pennsylvania in the length of it's stockholders list It is not only one of the most Sopuar investment securities, but also one that IS sspeculated in most largely. Union Pacific com mon was 100 in 1907; this year it has been above 2fs an increase of more than 100 per cent New York Central, Southern Pacific, Baltimore Ohio Atlantic Coast Line, Illinois Central, Great Nor ahern Standard Ol-practically all the stocks In the long list of railways and industrials have ad sanced from 50 to 100 or more per cent in value since October, 1907.
 Thousands of people who are not spectators and who are intolerant of speculation have profit ed enormously by this wonderful rise fn prices They are the ones who bought for investment when the prices were low and who are now reap ing the harvest During the panic enormous blocks of gilt-edge shares were thrown on the snarkets when great spectators like Heinze and Morse and some others who were not so spectac- ssllar or daring had to sacrifice anything and ev- -erything for ready money. Their holdings now are scattered throughout the country and have been tucked away in tens of thousands of safes and strong boxes
 While of the new mlllionaires come rom the ranks of those who were bargain hunters in fhe days of panic, most of the new plutocrats are from the army of spectators.
 There many of these new millionaires that it would be impossible to list them all indi-

sprung up lately through the up ward sweep of prices in Wall street. Great corporations, like the fire and the life insurance oom- panies. have also profited stupen- dously. These tremendous reser- yoirs of money own huge blocks or shares in scores of railway and in dustrial companies-lots of from 10000 shares to almost a control ling interest. The most of these are sober, gilt-edged, dividend-pay- ing stocks that have not been spec tacular in their advance in price as compared with some of those that have gone up like skyrockets. Yet even these high priced shares have heen enhanced in value from Z0 to 5O per cent. in the last 12 months. They were bought at panic prlces' SO the published records of these companies show, and these institu- lions now are said to be selling them of, cautiously and carefully at the fancy figures that have been nrevailing of late. Unlike the in- diyidual investor, they believe In cashing in their winnings and salt ing them down until there Is an- other chance to buy cheap.
 In the commodities there are new groups of millionaires and multi millionaires also. Some of these have won their wealth in wheat, others in corn, but most of them in

 far and wide. But there is
 another harvest that has been growing and ripening all unno- tieed by government statisticians and by everybody else, and that is the 5nmper crop of new millionaires and multi-millionaires Never before were there so many in New York as there are today Millionaires were made in a night by the great wave of consoli- sdation and the merging of hundreds of industrial enterprises that was the feature of the opening years of the twentieth century, just after the close of the Spanish-American war. There were steel kings, steamship kings. pump kings, kings of car springs and of air brakes and of all sorts Of things They blossomed forth between the sunset of one day and the dawn of the next. The select circle of plu. tocracy widened so swiftly that it broke all barriers and created new aristocracy of wealth in America. New York was invaded by horde of Westerners whose manners in some cases shocked even the imperturbable servitors at the expensive hotels where they monopolized the royal suites. Pittsburg, from being simply a great mill town, city of grimy vxorkmen, jumped into worldwide prominence because it was discovered suddenly that it had more millionaires to the square inch than any other spot on earth. In New York all sorts of people achieved fortunes, paper or actual, almost before they were aware; jockeys, walters, bartenders and other humble folk glanced with AAAze at the balances with their 7orokers and began making plans for yachts and country houses.

Says report,

New York, June 23.-Following the
announcement in Wall street yesterday
that the decline in stocks was due to a.
falling out between ]. Pierpont Morgan
and the Standard Oil Company, comes
the story today that Morgan will be-
come fiscal agent for the Florida East
Coast railroad, the railroad -to-sea
which was built by H. M. Flagler a
director and former vice president of

story discounts the rumors on Wall
