ductive is directed where it is most
needed-to the building of great rail
roads, maybe, or to the development of
great enterprises.
A hundred years ago New York was a
very small city compared with what it
has since become or compared with many
other then existing cities. 1t was far
behind its sister city, Philadelphia, in
therace for commercial supremacy which
had already begun. But even then the
business in stocks and bonds must have
been of importance, and the brokers do
ing business in New York must have
felt the need of some organization among
themselves.
At all events, 90 of them met on the
18th of May, 1893, and agreed among
themselves that thereafter no person
shall buy or sell for any person whatso-
ever any kind of public stock at less
rate than one-quarter per cent commits
sion on the specie value, and that we
will give preference to each other in
our negotiations. In testimony whereof
we have set our hands this 18th day of
May, at New York, 1892"
From the small beginning of that pc
Rod it has steadily grown until it now
numbers LOO persons. Its transactions
q decade ago had reached the enormous
sum annually of nearly $13,0O0,0 900, 900
at the par value of the stock and Sc
curities dealt in. The commissions on
such an amount of purchases and sales
amount to over $50, 0OO,O 600. This amount
divided among the LOO members
amounts to an average of over $29, 900 for
each.
The regular commission and that
charged to all not members is one-eighth
of per cent on the value of the securi-
ties sold or bought. But of course in
each transaction there is both a seller
and purchaser, and there are there
fore two commissions, amounting on the
transaction to one-quarter of per cent,
to be paid by the principals. The semi
annual dues are $25, and $40 is charged
for the gratuity fund on death of one of
the members. From this fund the sum
of $40, 900 is given to the heirs of men,
Der upon his death. The assessments
upon the members have more than met
the death payments, and the fund now
accumulated is about $750,000. In a
short time more the invested fund will
amount to so much that the natural in
come from it will be enough to pay the
death losses, and no more assessments

therefore not enabled to hold real estate

Some Noted Panics OF the Pasta Remark

NEW YORK. Sept. 14.-The past two
months have witnessed some of the most
exciting scenes on the New York Stock
Exchange in the history of its existence
since i1G2.
Whenever the market is active and the
many bankers on the floor are shouting
their offerings or bids it seems &c he q
scene of great excitement, but it is in
times of panic that the excitement grows.
The exchange has known many dra-
matte and thrilling moments. In 1887
the first panic of great Importance in the
history of the exchange occurred.
In 1857 there was another panic of as
great or greater Importance. But it was
on Black Friday, the Gath of September,
1869, that the most exciting day perhaps
known to the Stock Exchange occurred.
The government had suspended all sales
of gold. Jay Gould and others, believ-
ing that the policy OF the government
was settled, bought during three months
q large amount of gold at prices ranging
from 125 to 40.
The trouble, however, was really
caused by James Fisk, Jr., who Joined
the movement on Thursday. He began
early on Friday to buy large blocks, run
ming the price up rapidly. The govern
ment promptly ordered the sale Of
$5,OOO,OOO. The price fell in two hours
from 100 to 1872. Fisk's broker, having
orders to buy all he could at 100, con-
tinued to bid that while sales were made
elsewhere in the room at from 40 to $50.
Fisk afterward repudiated his contracts.
His brokers failed, throwing immense
losses upon many others. In 1878 there
was panic from the effects of which
the exchange and the country have
scarcely recovered yet.
There is much speculation or gambling
upon the exchange, but if that were the
solo aim of its existenceit could not live.
1t is the financial heart of the nation.
Through its aid money which would
otherwise lie dormant and not repro.

NO BLANKS IN THIS co>PETIoN.

NO BLANKS IN THIS CO1PETION.
This is a competition of rather an I'M
usual nature. 1t is common to offer
prizes for the best story, or picture, or
architectural plan, all the competitors
risking the loss of their labor and the
successful one merely selling his for the
amount of the prize. But the Press
Claims COmpany's offer is something en-
tirely different. Each person is asked
merely to help himself, and the one who
helps himself to the best advantage is re-
warded for doing it. The prize is only
a stimulus to do something that would
be well worth doing without it. The
architect whose competitive plan for q
club house on a certain corner is not &C
cepted has spent his labor on something
OF very little use to him. But the person
who patented simple and useful device
in the Press Claims Company's competi-
ton, need not worry if he fail to secure
the prize. He has a substantial result to
show for his work-one that will CON-
mand its value in the market at any
time.
The plain man who uses any article in
his daily work ought TO know better how
to improve it than the mechanical ex-
pert who studies it only from the theO-
retical point of view. Get rid of the
idea that an improvement can be too sim
pie to be worth patenting. The simpler
the better. The person who best sue
ceeds in combining simplicity and pop
ularity, will get the Press Claims Com
pany's twenty-five hundred dollars.
The responsibility of this company
may be judged from the fact that its
stock is held by about three hundred of
the leading newspapers of the United
States.

not wear it over eight weeks, but it Is
something she must have. A novel wrap
for that purpose is made Of black faille,
cut like stole, but with tabs coming
10 inches below the waist and cut chisel
fashion at the bottom. 1t is slightly
gathered at the waist line under chou
of silk. 1t is lined all through with
changcable taIfeta, light blue and gold.
There is q deep fall Of black lace on
each shoulder, and bretelles of silk ar
ranged in novel manner by folding the
fullness over instead of letting it ripple.
This shows the lining. The whole wrap
is bordered with narrow passementerie.
The collar is made by plating the silk,
and there is another chou at the throat.
1t comes to plain point in the back,
and the bretelles end there under an
other chou. This is very pretty wrap
and can be easily made at home. 1t re-
quires two yards Of silk and the same
amount for lining. The lace falls could
be omitted. The narrow passementerie
costs 10 cents yard. In cutting it the
pieces that come out of the sides make
the bretelles. Almost every one has a
pieco Of black silk, perhaps breadth
out Of an old dress. In this case it
should be, if not fresh, laid flat upon a
table and rubbed smartly with a piece
Of flannel wet with arrachine or, failing
that, equal parts of cider vinegar and
water. When well rubbed and quite
wet, hang it in the shade to dry without
wringing or ironing, and when dry it
will look like new and be just as firm.
Another very pretty demisaison is
made of wide collar of white lace, laid
over silk of some color, though black is
handsomer. Around the neck is stand
ing frill ofribbon, and all the way around
at equal distances are loops of the same
ribbon which reach to the edge of the
collar, leaving two fish tail ends in front.
This can be worn with wooden dresses as
we'll as silk ones and makes a very
dressy addition.
Many ladies find it difficult to get up
vests and dress fronts for themselves,
and think it a difficult thing to do so
A neat vest is made by taking width
Of china silk, sufficient to give the re-
Quisite fullnessin front. and shirring this
on to thin but well fitting lining. The
back needs no silk, except double
shirring and the narrow ruffle. 1t should
button at the back or on the shoulder
and under the arm, to leave the front
straight. The outside should DO tackled
to the lining across the bust under the
gathers and at the belt. This can be
white or in colors, and is to be worn IN
der the sleeved Elton jackets. The belt
covers the gathers.
No lady's toilet is complete these days
without three or four fancy capes and
jabots of lace and ribbon to wear over
plain gowns to bring them up to the re-
quirements of teas and dinners where
strangers drop in. They are SO dressy in
themselves that they cover a multitude
of sins in the way of old gowns of no
particular style, and they can be added
in a second.
One of these, easy to make and very eff
fective, consists of single piece of lace
10 inches deep, gathered across the chest
and left to fall loosely, and is sewed to a
sort of shoulder yoke, which gives foun-
