gained hints and suggestions which
enabled them to coerce the market and
thereby make "gOOd thing" for them
selves. There was 50 much mystery
about the matter that those who we're
not IN the secretwere on the qui vive for
anything that might throw light on the
subject, The ten or a dozen Of brokers
who were in the ''ring" kept so SHADY"
that it was several weeks before the
little game was discovered. 1t was
finally ascertained that they based
their lucky speculations on hints and
information obtained from little girl
fifteen years Of age named Ella Miles,
daughter Of Mr.. nj. A. Miles, residing
IN East Fifty-frst street, near Licking
ton avenue This young lady, it is
claimed, was gifted with second sight
from birth. In short, she is a spirit
ualist medium or clairvoyant, a nd it is
supposed that the brokers received

fame, was puzzled inlcOnducting affairs
of state, and desired to know how a

to fight with powerful enemy was to
result, he visited the witch of EndOr,"

him what he might expect, and he
found out matters turned out Just as
she said they would. But who would
think that a modern prototype of the

such is alleged to be the case.
THE YOUNG GIRL CLAIRYOYANT
who is SO useful to the Wall street
brokers Is a modest, intelligent little
body, and is always under the watchful
care of her mother. Wonderful stories
are told of Miss Miles. a lady well
known in fashionable and aristrocratic
circles, whose husband she had good
reason to suppose had been ship
wrecked at sea, was very anxious to
learn his fate for a certainty. She was
professed spiritualist, and attended a
seance given by Miss Miles. The
"httle medium" who was at that time
a mere child who bad not yet discarded
short dresses, went INTO q trance state
and soon exclaimed: 81 see a large

THE PREDICTION PROVES TRUE.
Miss Miles prediction proved true.
Late in the fall Of the year tie son re-
turned to New York. Everything
which the child medium had described
was verified by him, and so exact were
the details that all concerned were Der-
fectly ast0nished. The mother says
that since that time her faith N spirit
ualism has been greatly strengthened.
ALMOST INCREDIBLE STORY.
Some time ago the propeller Hippo
campus, while IN a severe storm on
Lake Michigan, was lost. Her owners,
Messrs. Coolidge, Bailey & Mable, were
on her. a friend Of theirs at home
supposed that the three men had lost
their lives. He attended one Of Miss
Miles kceances. When told that all on
board the propeller was lost, Miss Miles
mo, all are not lost. Two
of your friends are saved" A few
days afterwards boat came ashore,
and Messrs. Coolidge and Bailey were
in her. Many other similar and fully
as wonderful stories are told by this
young lady clairvoyart.
