WOMEN OF BUSINESS.

80ME OF THE WEALTHIEST IN NEW

S

YORK AND HOW THEY MANAGE.

An Erroneous Idea About Women In Wall Street—Those Who Deal In Stocks Know What They Are Doing: and Seldom Are

In "the Street."

There aro 100,000 women In New York «tato with comfortable fortunes of their

cwn, ranging from $5,000 to the great If'Wealth of Mrs, Hetty Green, estimated ijjr from $20,000,000 to $40,000,000. Most of these women are sharp, shrewd and successful. The value of property held by -women in New York city is $300,000,000 out of a total of $1,662,582,298. In 1893 the personal property of men and women

In New York city was calculated to be upward of $375,000,000, and one-third of this was computed to be the property of H| women.

Those figures may seem steep, but they are justified by facts. Such women as Hiss Helen Gould, Mrs. Russell Sage, Mrs. Paran Stevens, Mrs. W. D. Sloan, Mrs. Hetty Green, Mrs. Taylor of the immense Moses Taylor estate, Mary G. Pinckney, whose name you scarcely see in a newspaper, but who owns 20 blocks in the most desirable part of New York the Duchess of Marlborough, the Mrs. Hamxncrsley that was Mrs. B. T. Babbitt, Mrs. Marshall O. Roberts-Vivian, Mrs. Cornelius K. Garrison and other very wealthy New York women, including the widow of Cornelius Vanderbilt, all pay taxes on property running into the mil lions.

Some of these women havo made money for themselves. To others it has been loft by parents or relatives, but nearly all of them understand the valuo o# a dollar and quite a few know how to make their money bring in a good incomo.

There is an erroneous idea that women who rinhblo in Wall street aro bepainted bejeweled and livo a life of sybaritic ease. Thoy are popularly supposed to roll up and down Wall street in gorgeous car riages, with prancing horses and a coach man and footman in livery. It is Ixriioved by many residents in tho United States that

Homo

niakothoir fortunes by tho turn

of a hand in Wall street, and that ho life of the speculative fenialo is ono long, sun 'faghlny day.

If there bo any such fortunato women Wall street men know nothing of thom There are only a few brokers' offices wliero women aro ever seen, and these women do not Ixjnd over tho ticker with feverish excitement and Bip champagne between tho rise and fall of prices on 'chango, Tho woman who ventures Into Wall street those days is very much out of place. To begin with, few brokers, or bankers, for that matter, care to havo women visit their oillees. They attract too much attention They have no knowledge of tho valuo of timo, so that bun in ess is often at a stand still. Then, as a rule, tho average specu latlro woman is a poor loser. Bhe can understand all about making money and is brimful of good nature when tho market Is going her way, but when things go against her and her margin is surely and Swiftly being wiped out she is apt to bo come disagreeable, if not hysterical, so that brokers, as a rule, prefer not to deal with women. And thus comes to an end ono of tho pleasing fictions of Wall streot.

Women who havo mado money in stock speculation aro seldom soon down town. They may now and then run into tho up town office of thoir brokers for consultation, and if there is anything of great lmportance in tho streot may hurry down but, as a rule, thoy aro not of a butterfly nature and know exactly what they aro doing before they start in, so that they take fow chances, and, as a rule, come out

tolerably well in advanco of tho gamo. Those women whoso accounts are worth having do not speculate with small sums. /They are good business women, who un^dorstnnd ull about railroads and government securities and care less for largo returns, so tho investment in a suro ono.

Mrs. llotty Green has porhaps boon more successful in speculating than any other woman in this country, but she is not alone in being nblo to read and analyzo dry railroad reports and government statistics. There are scores of women with lnrgo fortunes of their own who have been trained to look strictly after business. All the women of tho Vanderbilt family wore early taught tho valuo of money, and I fancy they are quite as shrewd as tho men folks In understanding railroad properties, bonding schemes and all other questions jAot finance. There is no woman in this country bettor equipped for a business career than Miss Mtiiyr E. Garrett of Hnltijhioru, I would wnger that she could dlsouss finance and railroad reports with any man in Wall street. To bo sure, sho had tho advantage of a fine business education under her father's protecting wing. Since jfhts death sho has looked after her own enormous fortune and invested it so that tho income lms been very largely Increased.

The Into Mrs. William J. Whitney was also a thoroughgoing business woman, who had been taught not only tho value of money, but tho importance of good investment. Sho knew a great deal about ,railroad affairs, and her judgment on financial matters was said to be unusually accurate. Her daughters are being brought up with tho same understanding.

Mrs. Russell Sage is another woman wlo, although her life has been devoted to he doings of charitable deeds, knows umch about business affairs* To be sure, sho has a splendid .mentor in her distinguished husband, and sho could, if it were .Kwssary, look after the vast fortune of tho Sage family without much assistance.

Miss Helen Gould, eldest daughter t.f ay Gould, beoame absolute mistress of 45,000,000 when her father died. She owns fine oity residence on Fifth avenue and tho magsiiiloent country seat that liquid built at I rvi ngton -on the-11 udson, th Its splendid lawns, gnrdens and con* rvalories and buildings. These two properties alone represent nearly $2,000.-

Much of Miss Gould's wealth is it course tied up in the Gould telegraph and railroad Hness. but she has mora voice in tho management of these than Is generally known. Sbo has a much better cnpacity for business than any of her I rothere, Gooitft excepted, and Is wrf like

THE SENATOR'S SERVANT.

She Unit Her Place That the Dignity of Her Master Might Be Upheld. Extracts from that great book on life in Washington, "The Autobiography of a Senator:" w-y

On that bright spring morning I strolled into my library and heard the telegraph instrument ticking away noisily in the corner. Mechanically I walked oyer to the table and picked up •he tape. With startled gaze I read, "Sugar, 82%." The slip of paper dropped from my nerveless grasp. I had bought my sugar at 60)£. If I sold now, I would realize a great sum. Should I do it? No I A thousand times not I was a senator, a member of the most honorable and most dignified deliberative body in the world. I was assisting in the mak ing of a tariff on the stuff which was climbing so rapidly on Wall street could not be. n.

For half an hour I sat and smoked cigar. The maddening click of the tele graph still ran$ in my ears. I walked again to the table. The figures on the tape danced before my eyes. "Sugar, 85." A fortune was slipping from my grasp. I sat down and wrote this tele gram to my brokers, "Sell my sugar. Then a revulsion of feeling came over me. I could not do it I felt that I was an honorable man. I left the telegram where I had written it and fled to the garden. in.

While walking in the garden I saw Mary, tho second girL She bade me good morning. I said to her: "Mary, if by any chance you should go into the library—of course I do not expect that you will go there—but if any chance you do and see a telegram on my desk addressed to my brokers be sure to remember that tho nearest telegraph office is on the next block." The girl conrtesicd and went into the house. I think she understood that I meant her to stay out of the library.

IV.

Two hours I spent in that garden thinking out a scheme I have for ame liorating the condition of the poor by providing open air performances under national guidance of Ibsen's dramas. Then I went back to tho library. A telegram addressed to me was on my desk. I nervously tore it open. It road: "Order executed. Sugar sold at You make $247,000." My heart rose in my throat. The bit of yellow paper dropped from my fingers and fell flut tering to tho floor. Here was I, a United States senator speculating in stooks and taking advantage of information which my official position secured for me. That miserable servant had sent my telegram. Horror! v.

Tlfht afternoon I wrote to my brokers telling thom to deposit the $247,000 to my credit. Then I discharged the aeoond girl. Tho dignity of my groat office must bo uphold.—Buffalo Express.

THE "MOTHER COUNTRY" ALARMED.

She Has Received News of Startling Char acter From tho United States.

The Winnipeg Free Press claims to havo dipped tho following from a recent number of tho London Chimes:

Genoral Coxey, tho gentleman who ran for president in opposition to the lato Cliauncey Depew, is leading an army of discontented hoboes on Washington. Hobo is the political pseudonym used to designate tho members of the independent Republican party. General Coxey is a native of Ynba Dam, capital of tho state of Baltimore, and a journalist of some distinction, having edited Tho Congressional Record, an influential paper published in the Mormon interests of Boston, N. Y. His army has captured tho Doiaware and Laokawauna railroad, which will afford transportation through the Rocky mountains to Fargo, where tho troops will embark in gondolas and sail down the Susquehanna to Washington. As tho president, Mr. Cornelius Vanderbilt, is absent in Kentucky on a buffalo hunt, attended by the regular army as a guard of honor, grave apprehensions are felt at Washington as to the possible consequences of Coxey's invasion of that territory. the Ivickapoo Indians should join him, serious consequences may ensue.

Bought Hi* Gift In a Pawnshop.

A funny thing which is just leaking out happened at the recent Sherman wedding in Boston. A man who was a prominent guest in looking over the presents at tho house, discovered a valuable old clock, an autique, that he had bought abroad for a big sum and that had been stolen froui his house a year or more before in some mysterious way. Ho hunted up the donor and found he had bought it from a pawnbroker that had called his attention to it as a rare article. The man wanted to give Miss Sherman something rare and BO purchased it It was not however, until owner No. 1 insisted upon the right of first proprietorship that owner No. 2 was willing to explain. It was rather a big joke on him to havo sought a pawnbroker's shop for his wedding present and the first man thought it too good a story to keep.—Town Topics.

Hopkins of the agricultural experiment station at Morgantowa has just discovered a beetle for which naturalists have be«a looking for many years in vain.

JEKSEY LIGHTNING OUTDONE.

A Connecticut Storm Which Indulged In a Number of Fantastic Bevels. A thunderstorm exploded in the heart of Norwich the other day at noon. A purple black cloud was shoved out of the west and it stood 300 feet above Centennial square and pelted the square with handfuls of red,* white and blue bolts just about as big and gaudy as crimpled rosettes on horses' headstalls. Everywhere the balls of fire burst with the snapping sound of big percussion taps or hissing whiplashes close to men's ears, who dodged, looked dazed and strode on dizzily. Some of the fireballs rode the electric ahd telephone wires as lightly as painted bubbles. Others ran into office windows and out of them, looking for game, snapping all the time

It was the queei^st, strangest lightning ever seen here and the wickedest also. It engaged in the most fantastic revela The air seemed to be full of electrio splinters, too, viewless, that ran their prickly points into people as witches of old rained showers of unseen hot needles into their victims' flesh. Half a dozen men were shocked by the splinters, and one newspaper man at a window was touched up four times. There were three sharp electric snaps in his room, and three pointed lightning rosettes floated there momentarily.

He was "doing up" a sultry congested school meeting of the previous even ing and had started in to write the word ^district" when his fourth lightning splinter caught him in the shoulder. Involuntarily and unconsciously his arm moved in unison with the path of the little bolt, and instead of writing the word noted he found, a minute later, that his hand had instantaneously and automatically drawn a perfect picture of a zigzag thunderbolt half way across the page

FELL FORTY FEET IN HIS SLEEP

A Man's Somnambulism Attributed to the Excitement of Getting Work.

James Reilly of 608 First avenue, a painter, 45 years old, was badly hurt yesterday morning by walking off the roof of the tenement in a fit of somnambulism, brought on, it is supposed, by the excitement of obtaining work after long idleness. About three months ago he lost his job, and three weeks later his wife died. Since then he has had a hard time taking care of three boys and a 10-year-old girl. Last Thursday he found a job.

He was to begin work early yesterday. He went to bed about 9:80 o'clock on Thursday night after putting his brushes and overalls in a pile beside him. He was afraid he might not wake in time and so might lose the job, and he told his children that the first one awake was to call him. A little after midnight his son Jimmie, who was restless, went to his father's room. Reilly was still awake, and when his son left him he said: "Don't forget to call me, my boy."

Two hours later Reilly was found lying in his nightshirt on the roof of a stable 40 feet below the roof of the tenement On the roof of the tenement were found Reilly's overalls and paintbrushes. It is believed that Reilly, being nervous and agitated, walked upon the roof in his sleep, dreaming he was about to go to work. He was taken to Bellevue hospital. His skull is fractured. None of his children remembers his having walked in his sleep befora— New York Exchange.

LIGHT OR HEAVY WHEELS.

Cyclists This Summer Have Decided That What They Want Is Good Roads.

The light wheel problem, which this year more than ever is absorbing the attention of cyclists, is a pretty difficult one to solve satisfactorily. Everybody wants to ride alight wheel, but everybody does not want to ride one that will not stand the pounding of a rutty road or an occasional tumbla Wood rims are being extensively ridden, but they are not as strong as metal rims and never can be. A great many wheels that weigh from 18 to 84 pounds are being ridden over all kinds of roads this season in Brooklyn and out on Long Island, and a large percentage of them are coming to grief. The rider of one has to be as careful of his mount as if it were a delicate race horse. Universal use of featherweight wheels will scarcely come until the roads are far better than they average today. England has had the lightwheel craze and has got pretty well over it American wheelmen like the light machine and don't want to give it up Hence they are crying for good roads and accomplishing much in that direction. It is maintained by many good riders that over an ordinary road a 80 pound wheel is easier and faster than a 20 pounder because it ia steadier and does not lose way in bounding over a hummock or a rut There are many who predict either better roads, or a return to heavier wheels next year, or else a more extensive use of aluminium in the construction of bicycles.—Brooklyn Eagle.

A Boy Insult* Royalty.

A great sensation has been caused in Austria by the imprisonment of a 14-year-old boy on the charge of less© majesty. The little fellow, Edtrndo Ercolessi, was arrested in Trice* a few weds ago. charged with making im proper remarks regarding tho Austrian emperor. He was tried in secret said condemned Co hard labor in prison fen* two months. The public prosecutor proposed to banish the hoy from the country, but the eourts would not uphold him in this.

WILL HE GET HERT

The Khedive of Bgypt Wants to Marry One of tho Sultan's Daughters.

The young khedive of Egypt is having a very t_ncomfortable time in Constantinople and is doubtless sorry that he ever went thera The sultan appears to'toke mahcious delight in making the young man feel his inferiority and has carried this so far as to refuse to aj|low his daughter to be given in marriage to the common Egyptian pasha who owes his position to the support of infidel Englishmen. Tho khedive's mother, however, continues assiduously to intrigue in the harems on her son's behalf, and as she is admittedly a very clever woman it is believed that her persistency will ultimately be rewarded by success.

The sultan at present has only two recognized daughters of marriageable aga One is 13 years old, and the other is 10. It was suggested early in the negotiations that the sultan's daughter is forbidden by unwritten law to marry outside the limits of the Ottoman em pire, but his majesty himself promptly disposed of that argument by declaring that Egypt is an integral part of his empire, and it is certainly recognized as such by all the European powers. If the sultan should relent, the marriage will take place in Constantinople after the khedive, by his suzerain's gracious permission, has taken a short holiday trip through Europe.

Unlike the khedive, young King Alexander was treated by the sultan with the greatest distinction and has returned to Servia more persuaded than ever that he is the greatest man in Europa —Constantinople Letter.
