Il" THE GAS IS DEAD"
A Practical Joke o n Ex-speakeF Reed That
Dssturbed New York,s Stock Market.

A Practical Joke n Ex-speakeF Reed That
Disturbed New Works Stock Market.
With the minute-hand on the moon
faced clock, high on the walls of the Stock
Exchange, says New York special, travel
ling fast toward noon Wednesday, there
was a great wagging of heads among a
regiment of brokers huddled in front of
Chairman Mitchelfs rostrum. Mr.. Mitchell
looked down, expecting at any moment an
explosion of some kind.
With the minute-hand within a line of
tho hour-hand, young Tim Williams
slipped out of the crowd and darted upon
the rostrum, at the same time reaching
out for the chairman's ponderous gayel.
Mr.. Mitchell was too quick for him.
Clutohing it tightly and raising it me-
nacingly, as though MIR. Williams and his
myrmidons eontemplateden assault upon
the dignity of the Exchange, Mr.. Mitchell
glared at the intruder.
Fooled in his attempt to secure the gavel.
Mr.. Williams raised his right arm, and
with his eye on the clock. waited until il
was exactly ~ III. and then shouted: !" Now,
boys, one-tWo-tbree-th Gar is deadln
Up rolled in chorus in stentorian tones
the answering shout Of those in front of
the rostrum The CZar is dead; down
with the Gear" There was three-times-

and his cohorts bowling solemnly to the
chairman dispersed. But in the groups
they continued the cry until the close Of
Change. IL was their tribute to the de-
thronement of Speaker Reed.
Curiously enough, though, the exploit
had most exasperating influence on the
share list. All hands heard the thunder
Gus shout: "1he Gar is dead" No name
had been mentioned, and certain anxious
souls Immediately accepted it to mean that
the Gear of Russia was dead. This report
was quickly heard in all the Offices IN Wall,
Broad, and New streets, and Broadway,
and uneasiness prevailed.
The death Of the Gear Of Russia, ID was
insisted, would unsettle European financial
circles. Brokers and their customers shot
orders into the Exchange 70 sell stocks.
There was slump in several quarters and
a weak closing.
The report OF the death Of the Gear of
Russia reached London by the way Of
New York, and back came unsteady news.
