New York, June 6. In these iayn of suffragettes and emancipated females generally one is entering the arena of finance and matching their wits successfully ' against the most astute of their male rivals. Hut for a woman without any training in the arts of speculation to 1 put its cleverest and most resolute ' "bears" to flight and to make. $ r' , x m in a few days is a feat for which one is scarcely prepared. An yet this was the achievement a few weeks ago, of Mme. Kochctte of Paris, who, in order to save her husband from a "bear" raid on the stocks which he held, fought them single handed, and came out. of the unequal contest a winner of :,kx,m francs: However novel and startling such a feat may be in France, in America, it would Bcarcely excite any attention; for across the Atlantic women have proved for some years past that the i men are no longer to have a monopoly ' on million-making. One of the most daring and successful of these lady financiers is Mrs. Hermann Oelrichs, who is held in considerable awe by her masculine rivals in Wall street. A few years ago Mrs. Oelrichs decided to take the management of her business affairs out of her husband's hands into her own. Naturally, all her friends were aghast at such audacity, and predicted that she would soon make "ducks and drakes" of her fortune. But Mrs. Oelrichs only smiled the smile of the confident capable woman. She knew better. Realizing hor estate, she commenced operations in Wall street with a capital of $500,000 and by clever speculation in railroad shares she had increased her fortune five fold in a year, making money at the phenomenal rate, even for America, of ifi.ooomo per annum. Smart in Business. But even Mrs. Oelrichs has a formidable rival of her own sex in Mrs. Ella Rawls Reader, who has earned t lie right to be considered one of the smartest business women in the whole world. A dozen years ago Mrs. Reader was addressing envelopes in a New York newspaper office and four years later she was head of the largest

reporting agency in the city. Then it was that this remarkable I woman, who is still In the early thir-! ties, and who is described as "very pretty, with a fascinating smile, charming manners and a sweet, gentle voice," determined to show what a woman could do in the realm of finance. And how far she has succeeded is proved by the following, among many similar sensational coups which have made such financial giants as Mr. Pierpont Morgan gasp with wonder. She has organized a .f0Kt.i)O railway" in opposition to Mr. Morgan himself; induced the House of Lords to adopt the Sprague system on the Central London "tube." wrested from powerful rivals a concession for a railway through the dominions ot the Sultan of Johore; settled a South American revolution at her breakfast table: entered into competition with Wall street to control the copper interests of Peru and fought President Roosevelt for concessions in Santo Domingo, involving over $20,(XHMKH. Mrs. Hetty Green has. of course long been recognized as one of the shrewdest of American financiers with a knack of piling up the millions as few men have exhibited. Starting with a capital of about half a million he is today worth at a modest estimate, twenty times that sum. For many years past she has at least added $5X.000 yearly to her capital. And "yet so thrifty is this lady for millions that she is said to live on less than $4 a week, spending in a year less than phe earns every four hours. Mrs. Richard King, another Ameri?an lady who has been the architect of own fortunes, is today owner of an ite two and a half times as large as 'ales, which she manages Herself Ith consummate skill. Her estate Ipounded by forty milea of coast, and fclrtvted inland by 300 miles of barbed ylre fence. She is mistress of "JtHV POO cattle; employs ;-tH cowboys for whoe use 200 ponies are provided: and (when she wishes to leave her domairA of which she is "a veritable queen She has to drive lo miles from her doojr to her front gate. An equally capable woman is Mrs. AnrVte K. Rikert, president of the Stockton and Tuolumne railroad, who t Iff was left a widow, practically penniivess, with an infant daughter. Makinsfe her way to the California gold fields, she began prospecting, and. ItlthougbN entirely without skill was eo successful that within six months nhe had $-kX000 in the bank and owned several vreluable mines. A Grano Family Medicine. -'It gives m pleasure to speak a good word for Electric Bitters," writes Mr. Frank Conlhn of No. 436 Houston St., New York. . "It's a grand family medicine for dyspepsia and liver complications; while for lame back and weak kidneys it cannot be too highly recommended." Electric Bitters regulate the digestive functions, purify the blood, and impart renewed vigor and vitality to the weak and debilitated of both sexes. Sold unier guarantee at A. G.

London, June G. British naval administration is about to undergo a thorough reform which will put an end to the present intolerable condition of things at the admiralty. The Beres-ford-Scott incident and the scandal about the Kaiser's letter to Lord Tdedmouth, were recent indications of a state of corruption at naval headquarters and it is an open secret that there is bitter antagonism between two groups of officers of high rank, with Sir John Fisher, sea lord of the admiralty heading one side, and Lord Charles Beresford, commanding the channel fleet, the other. "Petticoat influence" is now as powerful at the admiralty as it was at the war office before the recent reorganization. There have also been indiscreet letters written which have not conduced to the efficiency or dignity of naval administration. Newspaper articles on the admiralty affairs have lately been so candid and sensational that every Englishman has become seriously alarmed about the state of this important government department, which was once looked upon as irreproachable and incorruptible. To prevent the threatened ruin of British naval power, the government has determined upon a wholesale reorganization of the admiralty board, and a restriction of the powers of the naval advisers. Several admirals who

have been guilty of placing personal and political interests in front of their duty to the nation will be compulsorily retired. Thinks It Saved his Life. Lester M. Nelson, of Naples, Maine, says in a recent letter: "I have used Dr. King's New Discovery many years, for coughs and colds, and I think it saved my life. I have found it a reliable remedy for throat and lung complaints, and would no more be without a bottle than I would be without food." For nearly forty years New Discovery has stood at the head of throat and lung remedies. As a preventive of pneumonia, and healer of weak lungs it has no equal. Sold under guarantee at A. G.
