BIRDS OF PREY

The Hacgers-On and flarpies of HotelsWho Delude looiish Wives and Wrong UnsaspectiDg Husbands. "Who Wan the "Cincinnati Blonde, Who Became a Mother in the Absence of Her - Bosom's lord! V, -V ,-' "Xew Tork Mercnrj.l f ' :Every one knows Joe Ernandez, the genial dispenser of "wet goods," who, until a few months ago, was one of the most prominent figures behind the bar of a Broadway hotel. 1 Kecently Joe started on his own account, and being thus at liberty to speak freely, his revelations of certain phases of hotel life will be read with interest: THE HOTEL MASHERS. "There is," said he, "a class of men who hang around hotels whose sole occupation is to make the acquaintance of those ladies who are young or middle-aged and good-looking, and whom they think are likely to . become their victims. These fellows are. as a rule, men with no specified means of a livelihood; some have money enoughto keep them in a quiet way, but as a rule their means are very smalk They come to the hotel early in the morning and scan the register, and from the clerk behind the desk, with whom they have a speaking acquaintance,' learn who the people are whose names are on the list, whether they are young or middle-aged, etc. This done, the hanger-on waits about the hotel until lunch or dinner hour, when he goes to the dining-room and finds out from the waiter where 'Mrs.' or 'Miss' has her seat at table, and gets him for a trifle to place him as near her as possible. This is all he wants. Good address and effrontery do the rest, and before the meal is over he has managed to ' ' SCRAPE AX ACQUAINTANCE. After this it is plain sailing. He calls first upon the lady, and is received by her in the ladies' reception-rootn, and later becomes on such intimate terms that when he comes he is shown Ao her private suite of apartments. Once having become sufficiently intimate to be shown to the private apartments of those he calls upon, the hanger-on loses but little time in still further increasing his intimacy. He accompanies the lady on a shopping tour, or for a walk. She, of course, feels lonely, her husband being absent and she a stranger in the city, and jumps eagerly at the new acquaintance's offer of escort. Returning from one or other of these . toufs, what more natural than that both parties take some refreshments? This is the thin end of the wedge, and in a few days .the favorite beverage of both the lady and her new friend are both known to the natty bartender, who mixes the drinks with a sly wink a3 he asks the waiter to what number it is to be charged, and gravel v hears the an swer, as the servant planks down a bill, that these! drinks are not to be charged at all. A curious thing in connection with this is that seldom or ever are the refreshments thus ordered permitted to be charged in the hotel bills which the Hl'SBASD WILL HAVE TO PAV. On the contrary, this portion of the hotel business is a cash one, and the waiters are especially feed so that they keep their mouths closed. Perhaps, though, to the head housekeeper, they will on the third, fourth.or fifth visit to the bar for the favorite liquors of those they are serving, drop a word that gives the whole thing away, but such confidences are like confessions to a priest held sacred. You don't need to be told that the person who pays for all this is the visited, not the visitor, nor does it require any great stretch of the imagination to picture what follows. All this happens between the hours of the husbands leaving the hotel and his re- . turn between five or six in the evening, by . which time the 'friend' has taken his departure, and madam is found suffering from a ' nervous headache or something the kind which prevents her leaving the room. All that I have said so 'far may be considered . as generalities. Now I shall give you a few actual facts about cases of this kind that have come under my own personal notice. .' A LADY FROM SEW ORLEANS. "Within the last eight months a lady and gentleman from New Orleans came to a certainh6tel here. She was a very handsome, magnificently formed woman, a Southerner by birth, while her husband was a quiet, cool Northern born and bred man. They occupied one " of the best suites of apartments in the hotel, and were evidently extremely wealthy. The husband was frequently away owing to his business, and his wife who did not appear to have any friends hre, was left a great deal alone. One of these people I have been telling you about made her acquaintance. It ripened, and after a week or two he was with her the greater portion of the day. The amount of money that these two spent upon wines and special luaches and suopers in the lady's private apartments was something wonderful and astonished even the hctel clerks. The way it came so prominently ' under notice, was tnis: At nrst every thin that was ordered during the day by Ho. .1 , would be paid for. After' a time, though, either the lady began to find her pocketmoney running short or grew careless, and all orders were eharged.- Her husband paid the bills without question, and, of course, it was nobody's business to tell him what was .. gofng on in his absence. Every thing went on smoothly for, I guess, better than three, months, when there came . A SUDDEN AND MOST UNEXPECTED ENDING. It came about in this way. The husband had been out of the city for two or three weeks in Chicago, and was not expected back until 10 days later. His wife 'consequently considered herself perfectly safe and had her friend with her constantly. One evening; or rather one afternoon, between 4 and 5 o'clock, who thould walk into the hotel but the colonel, . returned so much earlier than expected. He went to the office, spoke two or three words to the clerk, and then got into the elevator and went upstairs. Their apartments were on the second floor, and it takes about a min- : uts to get to them from the office. I mention this because within two minutes we were all Btar"t by a terrific noise upstairs.,. Proprietor, cic. ks, porters, hall-boys, all made for the he?tie. As I ran up the stairs from the - bar-rou-.n we were just at the moment busy a ma a rushed past the landing at the head of the itairs, followed by a man holding V;. A PISTOL IX HIS HAND V and s wearing like the very deuce. Up to the staircase at the far end of the hall the figure ran; up the stairs followed the pursuer, Svhom I recognized as the colonel. Along a passage and up another staircase, the curious crowds of guests and employes following. Snap! an explosion! The colonel had fired, but fortunately missed the object.' Ere he could fire again some one caught him and held his hand. Then ' one of the servants hid the person he was pursuing in a closet where he lay hid for three or four hours, In his anger the . colonel gave the story away. He had gone to his apartments, and on entering the parlor had found it vacant, atul passed from, it to his wife's bed-room. Ofiening the door he was just in time to see a strange mad kissing

her. The rest you know. ; The parties loft the hotel the same evening. 1 have not heard

where they went to. ,' ? ADVENTURES OF THREE LADIES. ''Just before this there was a party of three ladies, who always were together. They had made acq iiai nance through stopping at the hotel. One was a widow, the eldest of the three. The second a married lady, whose husband was in Europe. The third was un married., quite young, and belonged to one ol the oldest tannlies in JNew lorK. Miiey always were together, and each of them had one of these hotel haneers-on for a friend. Their carryings-on were well known, and of course were spoken about. Their position, however, wassuch that no one dared to speak to them, and it was not until one of them, the widow, became sick, and the cause became notorious, that they left the hotel. The wid ow died shortly after. . The married lady, I hear deserted her husband and is now living in Philadelphia with some one who picked her up. The young lady, I see, was married only a few weeks ago to a notable up-town man. If he only knew! Knew what? ",VelL all that some folks could tell him." A BELLE S SCRAPE. "Within' the last year a certain leading belle, who was staying with her husband at an up-town hotel while her residence was being put in order, fell in love with the tenor of an Italian opera troupe. Of course he reciprocated, and the way the two carried on was known to everybody but the husband. He, poor man, knew and suspected nothing until one-Jitternoon, when happening accidentally to come up town, he found the tenor where he had no right to be. He was a proud, but sensible, man, and made no fuss. Simplv sending for his hill, he paid it at once, order ed his baggage to be sent after him, and lett the same evening for the West, taking his wife along with him..' What had passed be tween them will -never be known. Hut had you seen her face as I did, as they got into the carriage at the hotel door you would have pitied her. It was the luce ot a corpse. . 'ANOTHER OF TnESE CASES that came under my notice, and which hap pened so recently that the circumstances will be fresh in the minds of many of those wlio, staying in the same hotel, were unavoidably made acquainted with the particulars, is that of a lady whom we used to call the "Cincinnati Blonde." She was a beautiful woman, and her figure was simplv superb. Her hus band came herefrom Cincinnati to take charge of a large hardware store on Broadway, in which he was interested. He was a good deal away, and finally went to Europe, leaving his wife at the hotel. She, too, seemed to have few friends, and having made the acquaintance of one of these individuals I have been speaking of, was with him constantly. 'No hotel proprietor has a right to question itidici receiving gentlemen in ber own private parlor, and no sooner had the- husband started for Europe than her hotel-made acquaintance became a regular visitor. They were together from breakfast till 10 or 11 o'clock at nirht. bhe dressed the tellow and cave him nonev, and, in fact, lavished everything she had upon him. Thirteen months after- his departure the husband returned to New York. Arriving at the hotel, he was met as he entered his wife's room by the doctor, who had just been attending her at her accouche ment. The Streamlet. A streamlet Blasted forth from a spring in the side of a mountain, and, after an infancy of gay leaps in bright cascades, spread out into a more quiet and steady movement. It began then to dream and meditate on the object for which it existed. While in this grave mood a VVill-o'-wisp darted out and danced over its waters. "Ah," cried the streamlet, "this is a heavenly light sent to tell me what I wish to know, and to guide my course." But the Will-o'-wisp soon flitted away and vanished, leaving the streamlet more per plexed than before. Its first creed was gne. Then a rosy cloud floated in the sky and mirrored itself in the bosom of the stream. "This," it cried, "is a token of Paradise!" But n wind ruffled the water, and the tinted cloud was mir rored no mofre; and when the streamlet became still again the rosy cloud had passed from the skv. Then a water-lily expanded on its waves. "Behold!" said the streamlet; "to nourish this beauty is . the end and aim of my life." But the lily presently folded up and per ished. rXhe streamlet moved on. Presently it came to a spot where men had thrown hard stones in its way, obstructed its course, turn ed it aside through a narrow channel and forced it to rush in a confused perilous way over a wheel. "Alas!" cried the streamlet, "is it then for this agony I was born? But after some wild splashes the streamlet found itself at peace again and went on widening. And now a glorious moon came out and showered gold all over it. "How wealthy 1 am!" cried the streamlet The moon waned. But the stars came out, and the ripples caught them as bright marvels; they hinted deeper, steadier glories yet to be revealed. Uut the stars set. At length a poet reclined on its bank and sansr to it: "Sweet streamlet! What a bright life must have been yours! What flowers must have fringed your gliding way, what rosy clouds you , ha vo reflected, whut lilies you have nourished, what stars have risen to -tell vou their secrets ere they have set! You have done brave work, too. You have water ed the meadow and made it wave with grain; you have conspired with the sun to ripen the harvest, and when matured you have helped to turn it into bread. JNot tor any one of these jovs . and uses were you made, but for all! So may the stream of inv life run on, with varied happiness and help fulness, not anxious about the unknown sen to which, thou and I fair, stream, are tend in"." - . ' As the'streamlet listened.all the beauties it had shone out again, aim they all clustered dancing light, rosy cloud, golden moon and serene stars around the great sorrow it had encountered, the obstruction which had ground grain for man; for that, transfigured in the poet's song, seemed the happiest ex perience ot all. 7 . ' ; ' The Royal Library of Purls. ' ', . Nature. In 17:J9 the Koval library of Paris con tained 800,000 volumes and objects of every description. In ! the number averaged 1.200.000. During the last 20 years the in crease has been more sensible, and the actual number is estimated at 2,000,000. The mean nnnual increase from legal'deposits alone is 20,000. Out of these 2,000,000 about 400,000 are . devoted to - French history, 200,000 to theology, 90,000 to science and philosophy, 60,000 to natural history, and 20,000to English history. The greater part of French and English historical and medical works are arranged in printed, systematic catalogues placed in the hands of the public. In less than 10 years the whole of the catalogues will be printed. . - - Now that they begin to talk about "symmetrical female forms .springing into the water," it would seem that it is time ladies had nothing -.to do with swimming contests.

LASHED TO THE BULWARKS,

The Experience of a ' Young :' "Voman Who, Was Wrecked on Lake Huron. Detroit Ntwi. Among the passengers who arrived en Saturday night from Lake Huron was Miss Belle Johnson, principal saleswoman in the confectionery establishment of Thrope, Hawley & Co., of this- city. She gave the following description of her experience on the ill-fated Bertschy: "After leaving Bay City we had much heavy weather and had become rather accustomed to the tossing of the boat. On Thursday night no change was observed, and the lady passengers, myself among the number, collected in the after cabin to listen to the stories of several Southern ladies rerugees from the fever epidemic who had chosen the lake as a safe resort. I was standing within three feet of my stateroom when the conversation was ended by a terrible crash which threw me headlong across the cabin. The other ladies were crowded in a corner, not one being able to speak. For some moments no one moved, and I only heard an occasional prayer above the hoarse roar. One lady, like myself, had had experience in similar emergencies, and we with difficulty gained the deck. The night was very dark, and nothing could be seen but the light-house, beacon, several miles away. Our steam whistle had been soundingsignals of distress, but, as the water dashed over the engine fires they were put out, and the only signal on board gradually died to a moan, and then failed. We looked for torches, but there were none dn board. Our lamps had been dashed out, and we were left groping ing about in the darknoss. Captain McGregor had been sick in bed, but I could distinguish him on deck, giving directions for the launching of a boat which was to make an attempt at landing in order to secure assistance. The boat was in the water but a minute, and then I knew by the screams I heard that it had gone over. . We passed the night in this way, comforting each other and assisting the crew as we could The male passengers on board had secured their life-preservers and sat with them on all night, but the woven had given everything up, and I refused to put one on, thinking it would only prolong my suffering. Early on Friday morning the steward came below and insisted upon buckling on the preserver. It seemed like getting into niv coffin, for I had said my last prayer, and was ready. After securing the belts we were led to the upper deck, and as the boat threatened to part every minute, we were lashed, one by one, to the outer bulwarks. Whenever the sea poured over me the ropes held me fast, and I sat tied there three hours looking into tbs water and wishing I could go down and have it ended. Ihe captain passed by, and wjth his glass I could see some of our men clinging to the fiot of a perdendicular cliff about 40 feet in height. They had drifted ashore the nignt before when the small boat was swamped. I also saw the lite boat launched and a crowd of men hurry:ng up and down the shore as though bewildered. The life-saving boat could be seen an instant; then it would sink in the trough of tne sea, and we thought it was lost. ; It gradually neared us, and a line was thrown out and secured by Captain Kiah. then two men were seen climbing out on the ropes and through the water toward our boat. It took them a long time, but they wero at last on board, and knew how to direct ourcfforts for safety. . Through their management the boats came near by, and we were hauled on board and then tukon to land. Not until I stood on solid ground could I think that it was possible for me to escape death. Ihe greatest praise is due the men in the life-boat. I visited their station Saturday, and found the road over which they carried their boat rough and sandv. As it was about five miles from the propeller's wreck, it seem ed marvellous that thev could reach hr at all. ! Eighty Years Historical Review Forney's Progreai.

The next president, Monroe, was as cold as. nn iceberg- John Ouiney Adams was the embodiment of unresponsive New England hauteur. "Old Hickory' carne in 182a 9, ana although by no means a ladies' man, wrecked his first cabinet on account of Mrs. Timberlake. Mr. Van Buren succeeded him, and made a Knicker bocker society in the White House: but he was so genteel that even ins naugnty son John could not extemporize a scandal for him. Then we had General Harrison, who died before his regime was a month old, sriv ing way to John Tyler, with his airy son, Kobort, and they went out in a row with the Whies so neglected because they had no party of their own, that nobody seemed to care if they were bad or good. James lv Polk and Mrs. Polk came in 1 845. At last we had a real lady in' the White House stately, Southern, and safe; nothing could be more attractive. All their tour years reign was socially blameless and respectable, Thev were followed by General Taylor; his household, Unlonel olijs and his handsome wife, looked like a long season of very good society. But as old Zuch died at the end of his first year, that dream was soon over, leavtne Mr. Fillmore to . eke out the term; . culd, conservative, and selnsh Along came dashing Frank Pierce, but- bis wile was an , invalid, and as bis only son was killed in a railroad accident a month befure b'w father was installed, that administration, like nearly all the rest. was conducted almost without u woman. Wbe'u Frank Pierce left, James Buchanan came with his niece. Miss Harriet Lane, as mistress of the White House. .Xothinsr could have been morcheerin; her reisn was one of roses, and she was immensely esteemed. -She lives to-tlay, much loved as the handsome wife of a Baltimore banker. Mr. Lincoln succeeded, but the rebellion turned the White House into a semi-military barracks, and his administration closed with his assassination, leaving Mrs. Lincoln, his widow, a living ruin. The Accidency that rose on his grave made no social niark, though nothing could have been more reputable than the ladies of A. Johnson's fumilv. General Grant, of all his predecessors, seems to have been most fortunate in his wife and children. : He had eight years of civil and domestic comfort. His successor (Hayes) is having an equally pleasant experience. . .. Such is the brief domestic record of the presidency since the door of the nineteenth century was opened. The first and second chief magistrates, Washington and John Adams, hud no special domestic happiness to exempt them from the general rule. The retrospect is eurious and interesting. During these 80 years the Old World has been drenched in blood to. maintain its several Governments. .England alone has held her. away without alteration. France, Spain,

Germany, Italy, Austria, Belgium, and Hol

land, have all been the alternate pre v of revolution and anarchy. All have been swept by war or subjected to change. The social element has suffered conspicuously. Queens have been desposed with their kings." CountiersTiave fled for refuge to foreign lands. Assassinations have preceded and supplemented great wars. Fashions have passed away with dynasties. But through all there is one profound truth, that mankind is happier in the mass in the sunset of the century than it was in the dawn. Certainly, the most stable government is the Anglo-Saxon. Where the English language is spoken, and x-nglisa laws administered, there has been a greater aggregate of human happiness. Such is the retrospect of 80 years, or, rather, since the election of George Washington, in 1789. The aggregate is before the world, and there is no place where it can be more profitably studied than in the city of Washington, and no page of it is more interesting than that which records the inner life of our 10 presidents. MATERNAL DISTRESS. A Bereaved Hen Throws Herself at the Feet of a Methodist Preacher. Bowling Green (Ky.) Pantagrapb. A very curious incident took place at the residence of Mr. John J. Ferguson, at Whippoorwill, Logan county, Monday. At the supper table on the evening of this particular day, beside the family, were seated Rev. K. G. Potter, of this citv, of the Christian church, Kev. Mr. De Witt, of the Methodist church, Mr. James Bell, Mr. Lamb, and others, who are ready to vouch for the truth of what is here related. The dish of chicken was passed to Rev. Mr. Potter, who passed it on to Rev. De Witt, the Methodist, with the remark that "that it must be for him." This was the beginning of a series of merry anecdotes and laughable jokes concerning the fondness of Methodist preachers for chicken. In the midst of the conversation a stately, motherly-looking hen, with an appearance of deep sorrow depicted in every lineament of her countenance, walked into the diningroom. She was castdown and woe-begone. She moved and acted as if she knew that one or more of her darling brood were then appeasing the appetite of the Methodist reacher, and were being converted into theology, as it were. Pausing at the door but a moment, she selected the object of wrath, discovered the enemy of her race. She marched half way around the table, passing everv one un til she came to the Methodist, when she threw herself at his feet, and began to flutter and cackle and scream. Her actions were most piteous. Of course, the instant attention of all was directed to the remarkable occurrence. For several minutes she kept up this bewail-f ing, and indeed could not be driven away. t inallv the servant carried her torciblv Irom the room. All were very much at a loss to account for so strange a phenomenon. Bnrdette and Some Mosquitoes Attend Church. Burlington Hawkrye. But down at Musquash. Last Sunday night we all went to church down at Musquush, and heard Mr. Hopper preach, a pleasure that all Uurlington will envy us. Mr. 11. was down there helping the 'est ot us enjoy ourselves, and the iiaptists ol Musquash just pressed him into their service tor one day. W ell, 1 had been trout nsbing all the day before, and had waded down the river a few miles, and Saturday nii;ht I poured a bushel and a half of oats into each of my boots, and all the bright, sunny Sabbath day they set out in the sun and basked, while 1 lounged around loosely shod in slippers and extremely happy. I went to church in the evening, and you can't imagine how easy, and comfortable were my slip pered feet. 1 thrust them out belore me and admired them. In a moment or two a mosquito came sailing along, humming the relrain or a hvmn the congregation had just ceased singing. This startled me a little, but not very much, because 1 alwavs be lieved that theSt.John mosquitoes could sing if they would. W ell, this lellow sailed on, passed me, then he turned and came back. and 1 observed that he had a rather wicked look in his eyes, although, I reasoned, that wiwo more than one might expect of a mosquito that flew around on the Sabbath. Presently, still humming "Broad is the road that leads to death, the bird made a lew circles and light ed on my slippered foot, making his landing about an inch above the slipper. Sow, son, I said, "this is a little too much. I admire cheek but you fairly gorge my admiration. I am sorry for you, because I know your harmlessness and your stupidity. But your impudence is more detestable than your imbecility is touching, and I am compelled to mash you." 1 lilted my other foot to crush him, and 1 hope I may live a 1,000 years if that mosquito didn t get the drop on me. 1 haven t telt anything like it since seven years ago, when I tried to mend the family washboiler, and poured a tablespoonful of sizzling, glowing, bubbling solder down in side my shoe. As 1 am a truthful man. when 1 telt tne shot, I looked down, and that mosquito had his hind legs bent under him, his front legs stretched out and braced against my foot, while the venomous wretch, holding his mouth full of epidermis and stocking, leaned back, pulled and Bhook his head savagely, 1 , i 1 1 j - ;.i . l 1 . ' . - i. : . UKe a oun terrier, wimuui ever ureuniug ms hold. Just before I kicked him he let go and sailed around behind my head, while he joined the congregation in singing "Brethrrn, while w sojourn here, Fight we mint but net-d not fear." I sat in silent, enduring agony, wondering what manner of a bird the Musquash mosquito was, when suddenly another one came behind me, cauirht me by the heel, and I thought in my souf it would pull tho leg off me before I could shake and kick it loose. And then it dodged about my ears, snapping at them as it went by, and humming with great affectation of feeling, "I wonld not 1W alwny." I was glad that it felt that way about it. It lived long enough to satisfy me, all the same. All through the service this inhuman banquet went on. The mosquitoes that came late didn't stand on ceremony, but drew right up and helped themselves. "Cut a little closer to the bone," the old ones would say to the new-comers, "you'll find the meat sweeter." And close to the bone it was. I kept up a regular tattoo with my feet, until the senior deacon came over and whispered (o me that the' Dominion churches had not adopted the Kcw York custom of applauding the good points in a sermom Then I held my feet off the ' floor and kicked them straight ' out every time a new mosquito got the drop on me and made a bull's-eye, until a man sitting in front of me turned around and sternly assured me that if 1 didn't quit kicking his wife and children he'd throw mo out of the window. I had wondered several times in an abstracted sort of way, what the children were crying for. Once, in my suffering, I got my teet up on the pew and tried to sit on them, but the manoeuvre seemed to afford the young ladies in that vicinity so much amusement that I bad to give it up. I got hold of a window stick and tried spearing the mosquitoes with it, like eels, but it attracted too much attention, and, owing to my nervous, ncss, was a failure anyhow. At last, either because they had enough, or because it was

all gone, or because the service was concluded, the mosquitoes quit, and the last I heard of them as they started over toward the other side of the room to swarm on a bald-headed man before he could get his hat on, they were singing with the congregation, "Happy day! happy day!" Musquash is one of the pleasantest places in the world, and I think' it must import" its mosquitoes. I am now quite content with the St. John variety.

Stock Operations That Pay. The past few weeks have been prolific or Immense percentages of profits at the New York exchanges, by the careful use of moderate sums in well-manipulated stock transactions, which returned a legitimate gain ou capital Invested according fj correct business principles, Oreat activity prevails in the market. The safest aud most success! ul method for operating In a regular way Is in financial uulon by the Protective system of dealing in stocks, which affords absolute guarantees that can not possibly be assnred otherwise. The vast aggregates on the sales of shares that have recently attained such mighty proportions, have been cDletly promoted by the Infusion of this new element, which has produced results surprising to all. Tne conservative basis of this system Is its great safety. To be sore of gaining the large profits that accrue so quickly in stock movements, there must be reasonaole protection against sweeping risks. This is why the Protective system excels all. On Monday three Kentlemt-n in New York each Invested tl.tMl ou Laae Shore stock by the Financial Union system, and, on Thursday closed the operation with a net profit of 5,3'U 27 for each investor. Tuesday a bank cashier in Philadelphia put S3,50u in Protective operations on Nortnwestern Block, and on Hiturdny closed the contract with S12,BH).73 profit. Early lu the previous week two mechanics in Boston united their capital and invested r225 on Michigan Central, and 10 days afterward thy acknowledged receipt of tl.S29.Ki profits. The last wees: in July five ,armers in Central New York In vested toUO each In Financial Unions on HI. Paul stock, and on Thursday, the 14th of August, lhey closed the deal, aud divided 118,000 equally between them. A lady In one cf the departmen ts In Washington used (50 for two weeks In Protect) ves ou Western Union and Lake Shore stocks, and made a clean profit or H7U.08. On Saturday a prominent Pennsylvania politician invested 31,500 in Ueiaware, Lackawanna and Western and Michigan Central stocks and in live days drew out of the market with S7,6b3.24 profit. A laige brewer in St. Louis put tijAO la Protective on Ft- Paul and Northwestern stocks, and In 15 days afterward closed with a gain of tll.fis 37. These are examples of what has been accomplished in Financial Union by the Protective system of operating in sfeks when g od advice has been followed.
