DEALING IN MARGINS.

Another Decision Against the Local
Brokers.
Judge Bradley has again decided that the
purchase of stocks on margin, where there
is no actual delivery of the stocks, is
gambling. and that the broker selling there
fore, cannot recover from the purchaser.
The case in which the judge repeated his
ruling of several days ago was that of
Tilford & Maynard, stock brokers, of this
city, against VIM. H. Dempsey. The plain
tiffs sought to recover the sum of $125,
and did so recover before Justice of the
Peace O'Neal, whereupon Mr.. Dempsey
appealed to the Circuit Court.
1t appeared that the 29th of last No
vember Mr.. Dempsey purchased 100 shares
of sugar stock at 80. Subsequently, it was
claimed. he directed the firm to sell at 9S.
They claimed that they could find no
purchaser at the latter figure, and also
claimed that they were compelled to re-
place the stock by buying in New York.
They therefore sued to recover the differ
ence and $50 commission. Mr.. Dempsey
claimed, however, that when he was told
they could find no purchaser at % the

actual delivery, and that it was not law

TWO DEFEATED DONoGHUE.
The Crack Skater Was Too Heavily
Handicapped.

The local starters in the race at the Con-
veEtion Hall ice rink were badly underesti-
mated lest night, and Donoghue came in
third, Saunders and May finishing first and
second, respectively. The race was for a
mile and half, of fifteen laps,and Saunders
was given a handicap of two and a half
laps. May had three and three-euarters
laps, and InglefretZ one and one-quarter
laps, he finishing fourth. Strickland and
Sites also started Saunders put up beau
tiful race. His style is one that commands
attention at once, and his friends predict
that if he sticks to speed skating he will
make a name for himself outside of local
circles: He will not however, in the next
race receive such big handicap.
DonoShue will not be seen at the rink until
3 o'clock Saturday. Immediately after the
race last evening he left for Newburg y. y,
where he is obliged to appear in lawsuit
or forfeit a heavy bond. Ol this account
Manager Towers kindly consented to cancel
the dates for today and tomorrow, and the
tWo-mile record-breaking attempt which
was to have come off tonight, will be made
Saturday afternoon at the hour named.
mile record, and those who have kept close
watch of his work feel confident that he will
succeed.
Several races between local men will be
pulled off this evening if the starters can be
secured. 1t is expected that Saunders and
lnSlefretz will start in a scratch race to de-
eide which is the better man, and this will
prove one of the most exciting and close OF
the series.

Indians of Syrian Ancestry.

From the San Francisco Call.
Canon ]. d. Good of British Columbia
says that his long residence among the
Columbian Indians warrants him in saying
that the latter are of Syrian origin, and
are, in fact, Syrians now, having the Gus
toms and language. II was astonished at
the richness of this language he said,
'and its wonderful capacity for accurate
expression.
II found many pure Syrian words in It,
as, for instance, Eneas and Solomon Chute
among proper names. The words of the
language are historical and traditional, and
observe the same laws as those of the
Syrian language. 1 think the language of
the Thompson River Islands is one of the
Toranian tongues. There are direct Syrian
words in 1t.
Then there are other evidences that
these Indians are the Syrian descendants.
Their medicine is the same as the
Syrian seer. The burial customs are to
this day the same. Besides this there is
the character of the people. who are Syr-
ians in thought, habits of life and general
customs.
When 7 first went among the Indians
they had their war chiefs as we'll as their
civil chiefs-the same the Greeks. All
1 saw in every way convinced me, and
have during the ensuing years been very
fully confirmed in my conviction, that these
Indians are Syrians."

POSTMASTER GENERALS SCARF PIN
Ii Bears the Efigy of Philip of Ma
cedon and is 1900 Years Old.

From the Pittsburg Post.
Unless you ere a numismatist OF unusual
knowledge you would probably not pay
much attention TO the pale gold coin which
Postmaster General Wilson frequently
wears as a pin On the scarf which covers
most of his shirt front But If you are an
expert and enthusiast on the subject OF rare
and antique coins, your eyes will sparkle
with pleasure 1t the sight of that scarf pin,
and possibly your fingers will tingle with
vague kleptomaniac impulse to grab II and
run, for the expert will recognize in the pale
gold disk an example of one of the most per-
feet and most beautiful coins ever struck.
And IL you are allowed the privilege of a
close inspection, you will discover that this
particular specimen has had preserved in
every detail the exquisite beauty of design
and finish impaired to il by classic artists
and artifcers, whose brains and hands
crumbled to dust long ago that II makes
one feel in a dream just TO think of ii. For
that coin of the delicate yellow of the cactus
bloom, perfect as when il was tossed from
the stampers hand, was minted while the
matchless eloquence of Demosthenes still
raVished the ears of the Atheniars and fired
their pulses, and bears the effigy of him
against whom the Attic orator hurled his
fiercest invective-Philip of Macedon, father
of Alexander the Great.
Tho intrinsic value of the gold IN the coin
is about &C. but the value of n piece of such
vast antiquity, so perfectly preserved, TO
the antiquarian and the coin collector IL
would be difficult to estimate. Another
point about this Macedonian coin which
greatly increases its value in the ewes Of
the antiquarian is the fact that Philip was
the first king who had the arrogance to put
his own effigy on money.
1t is probable that another coin similar to
that which Postmaster General Wilson
wears as q scarf pin does not exist in this
country outside of a museum. 1t was pre-
sented to him by friend, who picked it up
at a sale in Paris. OF its genuneness there
is no doubt, for when Mr.. Wilson was In
London last year he took IL to the experts
at the British Museum, who pronounced II
authentic. and tried hard to buy il, but
nothing could induce Mr.. Wilson to part
with IT

Arrangcments for the Funeral.
discomfort Among the Early Arrivals

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
I would invite your attention to cruelty
practiced on small children who attend the
johnson school at Mt. Pleasant by reason
of admission being denied until quarter of
8 o'clock am The other morning when
the wind was blowing a gale and the air
cold and penetrating, crowd Of little
boys, probably twelve or more, were hud-
died around the northeast corner of the
building. blue and shivering with cold.
This vas at twenty minutes to 8 o'clock,
and the door was locked. This morning
the same conditions Of misery existed. A
group of small, tender children were hud-
died in the open north. entrance, waiting
in the damp and rain for the arbitrary
time fixed for their admission, while with
in was warmth and comfort
It is difficult, as all parents know, to time
a child's departure from home, especially
when the school Is six or seven blocks
away, so that it will neither be too early,
and have. to stand exposed to the elements,
nor too late, and have to return home for
an excuse Why not admit them at least
by $50 o'clock, andYpermit the children to
remain in the comfortable play room?
do not believe the, children would abuse
this privilege.
If it is necessary for the comfort Of the
teachers that they should enter the building
imme diately upon their arrival, how much
more necessary it is that young and tender
children should also enter.

will soind this unjust rule.

Cardinals Now Die by Twos.

From the Saturday Review.
The superstition that cardinals die by
threes Is SO old that it may have originated
in the medieval days, when the Angel Of
Death was Systematically assisted by polit-
ical chemistry. 1t was legend which still
obtained general credence in Pho Nono's
time and was, indeed, supported in the
main by curious regularity Of dates. or
course 1t Is obvious that the mere sugges-
ton of such belief must have gone long
way toward securing it's exemplification.
The members of the Sacred College were
generally men of advanced years, and when
one dropped out the rest could hardly re-
press the unnerving quains as they won
dered who the other two Of the sequence
would be.
Oddly enough, the experience Of the past
years affords the foundation for a new su-
perstition. The last ten cardinals have died
in pairs-Mgrs. Benavides and Desprez in
March and April, Ruffo Scilla and Mala-
COLA in June, Bonaparte and SAM Forez
in November, Persico and Melchers in De-
cember, Granniello and Meignan in this
January of the new year.

Presents to Men.

From the Philadelphia Ledger
There is always some girl who needs
hint as to points of etiquette, which, TO her
more fortunate sister, are perfectly obvious.
One such hint is the advice: Do not give
presents to any young man not in your
family, unless, indeed, you are engaged TO
him. Every girl knows this is bad FORM
but sometimes the longing TO give fancied
pleasure, the desire to offer some semem-
brance grows too strong for the conven-
tional laws of good breeding-especially
when there has been no very strict training
In them. The gift is sent with fear and
trembling and a guilty sense of impro-
priety, and the man receives it with sur
prise as his very mildest sensation. Every
man who has the least delicacy of mind
will be somewhat offended, and say to him
self, if not to another: Il would give any
thing If she had not done that" A man
without delicacy will sometimes sink SO
low as to laugh at the girl, make her gift
the subject of conversation and be assured
by it that the tender passion has been
walked to tremendous power In favor of his
unworthy self. When one thinks how any
girl would shrink as from burning flame
at this Interpretation, the plea for no
presents TO men cannot be made too strong.
