Pacific and the St Louis & San Francisco. Isl
dor Wormser, on the other hand, is a strictly
cash man. His favorite pursuits are a~rbitrags
and commission business, neither of which re
ouire long winded investments. He was, for q
long time previous to his appearances
in Wall street, in the cheap clothing
business in California, and acquired there the
knaek of taking quick profits. But JEFF Selig-
man, the happy husband of Miss Julia. has al
ready a nice fortune of his own, and is one of the
most popular young members of his fathers
firm, which is composed of no end of both old and
young Seligmans. OF course the presents exhib-
tied at the wedding were very costly, and a laugh
able incident is related in regard to them, A
young and enterprising Hebrew stock-broker saw
q large square envelope among tho wedding pres
ents with the legend From father to julia
Most people would have felt some delicacy in in
vestigating the package. but not so with this
young man. He appeared after the wedding al
Delmonico's cafe and stated that Mr.. Wormser
had given his daughter $l3l,OOO in Lake Shore
frsts. .'How do you known he was asked. Be
cause / opened the snvelope and counted the
bond" was the reply.
Were they not afraid to allow you to do sogs
''Oh, no, there were two detectives watching
me, and besides the bonds were ali in the brides
name"
AS Lake Shore frsts are selling at 1871. the en-
velope must have contained 100 81. 900 bonds, and
the counting process must have been somewhat
prolonged.
Another amusing Wall street incident was the
depositing of an unknown yearling child on the
steps of Mr.. William Osgood's house. Mr.. Os-
good is well known in financial circles. His
brother George married o daughter of Commo-
dore Vanderbilt and died q millionaire. Will
lam Osgood has been subjected to any amount
of chaff among his friends about the bouncing
one-year-old boy which some one intended to
make a rumpus between him and his wife, Mr..
Osgood was equal to the occasion. however; he

dark complexioned man alights and steps brisk
cial Palace. He is one of the greatest railroad
magnates in this country, though once a poor
boy on a Connecticut farm. It is Coils F. Hunt
ington. He avoids rather than seeks notoriety,
but his fight with the Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fee, and other railroads, has again brought him
into prominent notice. He came to New York
as a boy of fourteen. Now he is worth nearly a
hundred millions on paper. and at least a quarter
of that in available money. He is president of
the Central Pacific and Southern Pacific rail
roads, and controls the numerous roads tribu-
tary to these. of which in the far West the Cali
fornia & Oregon is one of the most important.
He also controls the Arizona 81 New Mexico, Gal
weston, Harrisburg 81 st. Antonio. Scioto Valley,
Kentucky Central, Louisville & Western, Hous-
ton & Texas Central, Morgan's Louisiana & Tex
as, Elizabethtown. Lexington g. Big Sandy, and
Chesapeake & IOhio railroads, not to mention
other important railway interests. He can ride
on his own roads from San Francisco to Newport
News, Va. or clear across the continent. He
rules his roads with an iron rod, but has a broad
and statesmaniike cast of mind. He has re-
duced passenger rates on his Southern Pacific
road so per cent. in order to encourage emigra-
ton in that direction, and thus build up q per-
manent local traffic for the road. He loses on
his through business from the Atlantic seaboard,
but the lower rates, he thinks, and not unreason-
ably, will benefit him in the end. Before this
fight began the high rates tended to greatly re-
strict the development of large tracts Of the
West. Mr.. Huntington is plain, practical. not
seldom jocular, says original things, speaks
slowly and cautiously. and has none of the purse

..Rirolo,s, Wall Street FLYER.

The great sensations OF the Wall-street week
were the surrender Of the Drexel-M Morgan syndi-
cate to the Gowen- Corbin combination, the Ar
mour- Fink fight about the freightrates on dressed
beef. and the outbreak of the transcontinenta
war of rates. None OF these great contests has
so far reached a stage at which conclusion in re-
gard to the final issue can be drawn. But there
are good reasons for believing that they will all
be settled one way or the other before the trees
begin to bud. The defeat of the Drexel- Morgan
scheme is of great public benefit. If it had been
allowed to be carried out it would have resulted
In ruin for the holders of the junior securities of
the Inflated Reading company, reduced wages
for coal miners, higher prices for coal, and sew
erai millions of money In the pockets of Mr..
Pierpont Morgan and his associates.
The dressed beef-rates conflict is an attempt
of the Vanderbilt party to sustain the interests
of the owners of stock-yards along the trunk
line roads. The Vanderbilt family have large
interests in one or two of the yards, while old
chums of the late Commodore and Of William
Fl. own the balance. The railroads do not make
a cent out of the extortionate prices which the
cattle shippers have to pay for the feeding and
watering of the cattle in transit. The yards are
private concerns, composed of q few rich men,
whose influence with Commissioners Fink is
strong enough to induce him to enter into q very

Of the turn which the transcontinental war of
rates is likely TO take nothing can be said at
present, even in the way of q guess. The lead
ing men concerned in it have very mixed inter-
ests to fight for; are all good fighters. and some
of them very INSCRIPTIONS.

Clara Morris.

Clara Morris, who has been playing here for a
week, Is the most extraordinary phenomenon of
our day. She de6es all presidents, violates all
rules, overturns all criticisms. People still flock
to see her and pack the theater to sufocation.
but I defy any one of them to tell why. In fact,
nobody has ever yet told US why Clara Morris
yields a certain uncanny fascination. She is not
good looking. She is not strong. She is not
artistic. She is not heroic, or tragic, or versatile.
She is gaunt and almost CHASTITY. Her voice is
weak. Her face is drawn with the lines of pain.
Her teeth are bad. Her action is slow, and con-
stricted, and stealthy.
But in spite of all this she is the one actress
on our boards today who Yields the strange,
mysterious, magnetic influence that holds an
assemblage in q spell, and from which no one can
escape.
It's a subtle psychic influence that hasn't been
analysed. | cannot help thinking that it is the
same morbid feeling that makes women crowd
round a coffin and peer into the white mystery of
that frozen silence.
Clara Morris plays her best in q sort of trance.
She goes out Of herself into the character. She
is possessed for the time being, ana then she re-
minds you of those clairvoyant sibyls, who, with
distraught air, do the bidding of some unhealthy
power beyond themselves.
To those who know her her life is as great a
mySIofy 10 dTL Ouo has U6ou III lufdiAO LOT
years. She lives on air. Nobody ever saw her
eat a hearty meal. The late DIR. Beard, who
gave his life to the study of morbid phenomena,
once told me that she was the most magnificent
example he had ever seen Of the superiority of
invalidism to art.
And l think she opens for us a strange chapter
in the study of acting womankind. I have seen
enough Of these strange creatures not to know
that some of them can do with their hysteria
what intelligence can never do with its histrion-
ism. And l should like to ask some psychologist
if it may not be possible after all that the mi
metic power is only a form of hysteria.
People go in droves to see Clara Morris. and
then hug the nightmare recollection Of her Miss
Mutton with shuddering delight.
Now, the very antithesis of Clara Morris is
Judic. playing here now for one week at the Star.
One is beautiful, the other ghostlike. One sem
suous, the other is sickly. One talks and acts
continuously in the atmosphere of a vault. The
other is the quintessence of a coduetry that
needs high health and animal spirits.
One has feelings that she doesn't understand.
The other has eyes that she does. Men 60 every
night to Judic's performances and sit under her
chances very much as I have seen boys sit in the
sun. Her eyes warm you.
The curious part of it all is that the general
public would rather be frozen than warmed any
time by an actress.
Clara Morris is one of those strange human
cryptograms that nobody can read, and if she
would only tell her experience in a moment of
candor, we should get a book to which the
strangest marvels of science would look like fc-
ton, NYM CRINKLE.
