Hole millions like so much junk

VVall Street's Wealth Is Not So Legendary As One Would Think. SENSATION IS NOT LIKED. TH ERE 13 PEACE ON THE STREET AND ANY OLD CONVEYANCE IS SUFFICIENT, MONEY KINGS BELIEVE. New York, April 11. -How Wall fct.reet protects its gold, it stocks and ta bonds is a puzzle to many a stran ger in the financial district of New '!York. At first sight he toesn't even fsee that there is much money, and Ihinks. perhaps, that the wealth of the rilstrlct la somewhat legendary. The jjteople who hurry along the streets jwith handbags or without don't look particularly different from other busiViees folk. There is the usual traffic fif express wagons and trucks. A mounted policeman or two and three or four on foot are the only visible representatives of authority. Messenger boys scuffle, curb brokers shout and jlay pranks within their rope iuclosxc. and an evangelist holds a sidevalk meeting. There are a few cabs drawn up to the curbs waiting for the close of the business day. The visitor is astonished to learn that while he stood for five minutes at Broad and Well streets about a million dollars in cash and two millions in c hecks passed him. "Who had it V he sisks. "Well," is the reply, "there was a tall, thin-cheeked young man. a bank messenger, who climbed the steps of the sub-treasury with a. black valise containing $lfi,2:!K in greenbacks. You thought he might be a lawyer's clerk; he seemed quite alone. Looks Like Porter. "Then there was a short man with a pandy mustache looking like a porter, l.'nder his waistcoat he had a wallet attached to a leather shoulder strap, and In the wallet were six ten thousand dollar bills and checks representing three-quarters of a million dollars. Nobody paid any attention to him any fnore than you did. Perhaps you did tiot take a second glance at a trim, ldonde young woman who lifted her fckirts daiutily at the curb, not because 3 on imagined there was a thousand tlollars in small bits in her handbag, money she was taking to the sub-treas-nry in her capacity as cashier of a restaurant. The rest of the large anion tit. of cash that passed you was aboard that open two horse truck. It was cold in small canvas bags and square j boxes, apparently supplies for some hardware dealer or grocer. If you rive the outfit a thought you reflected lhat tradesmen ought not to intrude on the financial district.' "Since there is really so much money at large," says the visitor, "what are the precautions taken to guard it '! Why, the carelessness of these people is almost criminal. Millions So Much Junk. "They handle millions like so much junk. Think of the temptation to' t i i . . . i 1 ,i i ' route uaiu-up man nu siumui it-nin Bbout this easy circulation of wealth! A small band of desperadoes, at least, mifiht attack the district and make sway with millions." It would be interesting, just as an exhibition of Wall street's defensive resources, to watch thff results of varied attacks ranging from a lone robber's venture to a raid by a hundred or a thousand desperate men.. One pistol shot in the street "would probably summon a dozen Central office men. five private detectives, three Pinkertons and several private policemen, all armed. A volley of shots would cause the district to blossom out with rifles like a western mining camp ready for a lynching bee. The arrival of a dangerous mob would exhibit the sub-treasury in the role of a fort, pouring a deadly fire from rifles ntid gatling guns in its upper windows nd even dropping dynamite bombs in the midst of the enemy. There are fifteen hundred bombs, or hand grenades, among other military supplies in the sub-treasury. Display Not the PolicyIt is not policy, however, to make display of the iron hand beneath the velvet glove of finance, and so precautious are taken to conceal precautions. Honor is supposed to rule modern business; a man's word is presumed to be as good as his bond, and cashiers and hank messengers are assumed never to go astray. It would spoil the effect of these assumptions if the army of detectives atid shadows' put on uniforms end if people saw deadly weapons stacked in corners of financial institutions. The hidden protection is, besides, more efficient. A show of force attracts a crowd and increases danger. As it is. a bank employe has a comfortable sense of being trusted with vast sums, while he is constantly tinder the eye of an armed escort. Perhaps the escort is not so much to avert dishonesty on the part of the employe as to guard him against attack by a third person. Once there was an express company that sent a load of money to'the sub-treasury in a wagon guarded by men with rifle in their laps. The sight drew such a mob that the company took advice and was less obtrusive in its precautions afterward. Too Much Sensation. Automobiles, used to convey cash in a hurry during last fall's panic, made too much sensation for the quiet loving guardians of the district. They would have sent the money in a ragpicker's wagon, a truck or any common looking vehicle. There is a free and asy atmosphere in the spacious, marble floored government building, with its Toric columns and statue of Washington, at Nassau and Wall i streets. You are told that it is a publia thoroughfare in business ioursA

Millions of cash in gold, silver and notes enter and leave its iorta!s every day without tin; least fuss. A young man slingg a bagfull of green backs for redemption upon the counter in the central pillared chamber. Back at the door another man. who is his "shadow", stops and returns to the bank, reporting that the money was duly delivered. Perhaps the "shedow" was content to see that the bag carrier ascended the long flight of steps on the Wall street wide in .safety. Men in the financial region who stand on a coiner looking preoccupied and undecided may be thinking of stocks and they may be watching thf entry or exit of treasury carriers at appointed places. But within the sub treasury you notice no police and only one man who might be a detective.

COMMERCIAL WORLD

REMAINS THE SAME The Gains of the First Quarter Have Been Maintained. BUT LITTLE ADVANCE. LOSS OF BANK EXCHANGES PARTICULARLY HEAVY THROUGHOUT THE EAST R. G. DUN'S WEEKLY REPORT. New York, April 11. - R. G. Dun vV Co.'s weekly review of trade today say s : Commercial conditions show little alteration, the gains of lite first quarter liting maiutaiucd. but further progress is extremely slow. The weaiher has favored retail trade in seasonable wearing apparel at ruoM points and the outlook for future business is slightly better. Manufacturing returns are conflicting, several mills and factories resuming, while some other curtailed operations, and the rate of pig iron production at the opening of April was smaller than on March 1 to the extent of z.v tons weekly. Textile and footwear factories throughout New England proceed cautiously because of the small orders that are being placed for future delivery, all dealers confining purchases to immediate requirements. Although a better demand is noied in many sections of the cotton goods in quiry the prices offered are usually unsatisfactory, and the mills need still cheaper raw material if the business i- to be done at a profit. Jobbing pur- I chases for fall trade are usually made I in May and June, and much depends t'pon the extent of this business. Shoe shops receive a steady call for . tan goods, but business in staple footwear is light and many producers are! taking stock. Wholesalers report a! fair trade, but restrict orders from! New England factories to immediate j wants, and shipments from Boston are averaging 25.000 to tti.OnO cases less than in the same week last year. New demands in the leading indus tries come forward slowly at Chicago, and retail trade is retarded by unset-, tied weather. j Reail trade is fair at Cincinnati, j wholesale dry goods houses receive lib- j eral orders from traveling salesmen j and collections are normal. Dry j goods and spring wearing apparel ar? j in moderate demand at Cleveland, j manufacturers are fairly well employed and building operations are resuming. Bank exc hanges this week at all leading cities in the Cnited States are $1.!'M ,7K7.."i!1 : per cent let-s than a year ago, and :M.l per cent under the corresponding week of V.K"l. The loss is very heavy, especially in the East, in the South and at Pacific coast points. In the Central West the loss is generally small, and several cities again rfjor !a" ngct! t either of the two preceding years. Tho very large loss at .New v ( n ;: is 'still due to conditions in the financial 1 markets and the much lower volume of security trading this year outside ! of New York City the loss is very much smaller. For the year to date, as ! shown in the average daily figures, the loss has been about :i per cent, chiefly due to the loss at New York, and there ; is little evidence of improvement in ; the April figures as compared with ! preceding months. A COMMON MISTAKE Many women mistake kidney and bladder troubles for some irregularity peculiar to the sex. Foley's Kidney Remedy corrects irregularities and makes women well. Miss Carrie Harden, Bowling Green. Ky.. writes: "I suffered much pain from kidney and bladder trouble until 1 started to use Foley's Kidney Remedy. The first bottle gave mo great relief, and after takins the second bottle, I was eutirelv well." A. G. Luken & Co. Barrymore's Rstort. The true epigram ought to be a par ry.

The Missouri Man Tried to Another to Kill His Wife. Hire FEARED BIRTH OF CHILD. Richmond. Mo., April 11. The crowd that attended the trial of Thomas McGonnigle and Mrs. Jane Burnett, ac cused of the murder of Mrs. Margaret McOonnigle. crowded the courtroom in the old Ray County Courthouse so tightly that it caused the walls to tremble and the floor to sag. The room was ordered cleared before the trial could proceed. Thomas Bailey. 21 years old. son of a farmer, said that in 1!7 Thomas MeGonnigie offered him l. if he would kill Mrs. McGonnigle. Bailey said he refused to do so. and that Mctionnigle then threatened to kill him if he revealed what he had said. Bailey said that Thomas McGonnigle told him that Mrs. McGonnigle should never have a child; that he would kill her first. The explanation of this is that I here is an estate involved and another child would cause a further division of it. Had Mrs. McGonnigle lived she would have become a mother. The murder took place in February last. There is talk here today of a lynching. Amusements THEATRICAL CALENDAR. NEW PHILLIPS. Week of April 6th Vaudeville. GENNETT. Week of April 13. North Bros.
