DARING AND SPECTACULAR PLUNGER OF WALL STREET HAS GONE FOREVER

Public’s Indifference Toward Stock Speculation Is Causing the Passing of One of the Most Picturesque Elements in Odr Public Life—Men of Jay Gould Type Are No More , ip Evidence.

York.—The twilight of Wall street, the daring and spectacular plunger gone forever, the public apathetic toward stock speculation, the passing of one of the most picturesque elements in our public life —these are some of the conclusions drawn from the great dullness on the New York stock exchange, the failures of brokers to make what they'consider a living, the dry rot.

Certain it is that we have no Jay Gould today—or an E. H. Harriman, or a Keene, or a Gates, or even a David Lamar. The days of the big market manipulator have apparently passed. These men are dead and there are none to take their places. If as big things are "put oyer” as in the old days, they are done now in secret, with the aid of much law and lawyers, through numerous agents and multitudinous blinds and devices. “It was not so in the older, days.” Way back in the Black Friday era, Jay Gould or Jim Fiske wouldn’t hesitate at all to appear in the public Bhare mart and flay the opposing crowd of either bulls or bears with the utmost freedom. Everybody knew what they were about and nobody thought of complaining in the sense of considering their faults as of a public character. ■_ .

Later came the great speculative eras of our national life, when a “million share day” was considered nothing, when doctors and lawyers and merchants gambled in stocks from every hamlet, when the little speculators were myriad and the big speculators were fierce, if slightly more cautious than in the seventies. Harriman flinging railroads into the gambling pit, John W. Gates and other pen of his type leading speculative campaigns which netted them tens of millions, foxy old James B. Keene, engineering pools—for many years the American people stood for them and simply laughed. '

Thgn the great outcries began. They’ve never led to the actual governmental reformation or abolition of the stock exchange, but they seem to have put it almost hers de combat simply by the force of public opinion. “Nobody’s buying!” the brokers cry“We never sell anybody from uptown,” complain the hungry-eyed oneß, meaning that the merchants who ac-

cumulate fortunes no longer follow the custom of retiring, seating themselves next the ticker, and proceeding to turn their hard earned wealth over to the men of stocks and bonds. The “men from uptown” are coming to realize that this is the broker’s game—not theirs. « And the broker is selling his automobile. He’s no longer known as the "Wine barer.” He's no longer known

as the patron saint of the chorus lady. He manages to keep Ws membership in his clubs and considers himself pretty lucky if he has 15 cents for a whisky and soda once in a while. It is related that a prominent broker came on the floor the day before' election and said to a group of friends: “Boys, we all ought to go up to the Sixth district and vote far Bill Snlzer

tomorrow —he’s the only man from uptown who’s bought anything from us for two years.” There was laughter at this, but of a mirthless variety. The stagnation in stocks is no joke to the brokers. They can Btand it for stocks to go up and

LAUGHS AS DEATH AWAITS

Negro Murderer Asks Delay of Execution to Read Jokes, but Law Is InsistanL Trenton, N. J. —When Father Edward C. Griffen, the Catholic chaplain of the New Jersey State-prison, visited Williams Diamond, a negro murderer, in his cell here to tell him that everything was in readiness for his execution, Diamond demurred. He was reading a comic paper and laughing at the jokes and pictures. “What’s* the hurry?" he asked. “Can’t they wait till I finish this paper?” ■*: The priest explained that being executed did not admit of delay other than legal. “All right,” said Diamond, "but I would like to finish that paper." Diamond, known as “Black” Diamond, reluctantly dropped the paper and went to his death. He was the least concerned man who had anything to do with the execution. He had told the guards that while he was a trusty in another prison be had seen a man electrocuted, and that the operation had always interested him. He watched closely while State Electrician 'Davis strapped him in the death chair. Just before the mask was fastened be shouted, so that five condemned men in nearby cells, could bear him: "Good-by, boys!” Then, turning to the guards, he said: “All rlght| let ’em go.” 'lt took four shocks to kill the negro. "Blaek” Diamond was sent to prison for holding up an automobile party. On September 21, with another negro, he tried to escape and when lntercept-

they can stand it for them to go down, hut when they stand still—good night* The exchange has recently had the worst day’s business since 1888,. 25 years ago. Only 58,000 shares of stock and 818 bonds changed hands. There are 1,100 members of the exchange. It was figured that each of them would have $1.40 for his day’s work if the commissions were divided equally. A dollar and forty cents, not the wages of a man who digs a ditch in these days—and for brokers whose business expenses might run to SIOO a day each. No wonder there ax£ “reorganizations” and a few failures. No wonder that staid old liras settle all their accounts and quietly go out of existence. - - For one thing each member of the “change” has lost about $40,000. This is the difference between the high quotation for a seat in 1909 and the price seats bring today. The floor of the exchange these days often resembles the lounging room of a clubhouse. The exchange Is A club in reality. Will it become one in name? Will it turn into a mere social organization, with traditions of business? Hardly, because there are more securities to be traded in each year. There muet be a public auction room where they can change hands. The trouble just at present is the brokerage machinery is too big for its purposes. It is built on a scale to handle great speculations and little speculations, and when it has to come down to calm and peaceful transfers, it is like a eightseeing automobile earring a single passenger. There Is no profit.

HID STOLEN GEMS IN ORANGES

Jewel Thieves Had Ingenious Bcheme of Coricealing Loot From Eyes of Police. 'Naples.—Some days ago a dealer in precious stones in this city. Signor Gasparo Bascarino, was robbed of Jewelry valued at SIOO,OOO, and although the suspicion of the police was directed toward two brothers, who kept a fruiterer’s business, a search of the shop failed to reveal anythitng of an incriminating nature. By chance a policeman observed some boys playing in the gutter with what proved on examination to be some of the stolen stones. The boys, who were quite unaware of their value, confessed that they had found the stones secreted in some oranges and citrons which they had purloined from the shop of. the suspected brothers. The shop was again raided by the police and the brothers were arrested. It was discovered that on the previous visit of the police the whole of the stolen property was hidden in oranges and citrons from which the pulp had been taken.

MAKE TROUSERS FOR WOMEN

“Smoking Suits” Are In Great Demand in London for Afternoon Teas. London. —Women in London have begun to wear trousers and little smoking coats Instead of the tea gown. Every kind of waistoaat is being worn out of doors, but the trousers and coart suit is only worn indoors, and generally in the afternoon. The pajama habit led the way and the smoking suit haß followed. The suits resemble closely the Jacket and trousers of the Chinese women and are really fascinating. They are to be had in various colors. One is a deep blue cashmere, with a collar of yellow silk and a breast pocket, the whole being stitched in yellow. Another dainty suit is of forget-me-not blue silk. Another has a silk collar of the palest pink, a breast popket of the same tint and pink trousers, turned up in true masculine fashion. • *' _ 0 . v*—r?

Housework is a Burden

V The dally cans of keeping house and bringing up a family are hard enough for a healthy woman. The tired, weak mother who struggles from nforn to night with a lame, aching back is carrying a?heavy burden. Many women believh that urinary disorders and backache are “female troubles" and must be endured. But men suffer the same aches and troubles when the kidneys are sick. Women are especially subject to kidney disease. Tight .clothing. Indoor work, the ordeals of childbirth, the worry, and the stooping, straining and striving of housework all help to bring it on. At first the trouble may be only backache, sick headache, dizsiness and a drowsy, dull languid feeling, but this condition is dangerous to neglect, for dropsy, gravel and deadly Bright’s disease start In some such small way. Don’t be discouraged. When backache, nervousness and irregular or painful passages of the kidney secretions begin- to bother you, use Doan’s Kidney Pills, the remedy that has brought new life and strength to thousands of suffering women. There are no poisonous nor narcotlo drugs In

For three long, weary years they had been up against the matrimonial game. Together they were meandering down the street, when the wife paused in front of a jeweler’s windoW. “Do you remember, dear,” she said, “how we used to stop here and look at the wedding rings—one of which I am wearing now?” —‘-‘Ah, yes!” re joined the husband, reflectively. “Those were happy days.*

Poor Woman’s Gift

A poor blind woman in Paris, we are - told, put 27 francs into a plate at a missionary meeting. • “You cannot afford so much,” said one. ( “Yes, sir, I can,” she answered. On being pressed to explain, she said: “I am blind, and I said to my fellow straw-workers, ‘How much money do you spend in a year for oil in your lamps when it is too dark to work nights?’ They replied, ‘About twenty- - seven “So,” said the poor woman, “I found that I could save so much in the year because I am blind and do not need a lamp, and I give it to shed light to the dark heathen lands.”

ECZEMA ITCHED AND BURNED R. P. D. No. 2, Seymour, MO.—"My scalp broke out with fine pimples at the start They itched and burned so much that I was compelled to scratch them and they would fester and come to a head and break out again. The trouble was attended by such burning and itching I could not sleep, also when I sweat it burned the same. My hair fell out gradually and the scalp kept rough and dry with itching and burning. After about two years the pimples broke out between my shoulders. My clothing irritated them. I was troubled with that eczema five or six years. “I tried everything that was recommended without any benefit until I used the Cuticura Soap and Ointment according to directions, and.Cuticura Soap and Ointment cured me sound and well in two weeks.” (Signed) SL.

Pessimistic Deacon Philander.

Deacon Philander of our church is so practical that at times he appears to be profane, says the Kansas City Star. Our minister, a very modest and well meaning man, approached Philander the other day and said: "Brother Philander, we are to be congratulated. Of course you noticed what an immense congregation we had at our special services the other evening. I am told that at the opera bouse there was a very small crowd out to see the show. The Interest in our work is certainly increasing wonderfully. "Yes,” replied, old Philander, very solemnly, "I noticed the things of which you speak, but I much fear that things would be different if we charged a dollar admission and the show at the opera house was free.” As church treasurer Philander gets onto a lot of things.

Old Adam.
