CORNER ON WOOL.
Boston Capitalists Working to
Make a Big Pile of Money.
THE SECRETARY OF The INTERIOR.


BosroN, March 1.-The Sunday Globe
SAYS Zone of the largest corners on
wool ever attempted in the United
States at present exists in the city OF
Boston, in anticipation OF the restora-
ton of a tariff on wool in the near fu-
ture by the Mckinley administration.
The steamer Columbian, which arrived
in port Saturday, brought 5000 bales
OF wool, making total of 1876, 1850 bales
which have arrived in port during the
present month. A gentleman who does
not wish his name mentioned said that
syndicate was recently formed in
this city to buy all the wool offered in
European markets in anticipation OF a
duty of 10 per cent. being put on wool
by the Mckinley administration. The
syndicate has raised pile of money,
and only few days ago cabled $1,000
600 to their London agents. 1t is cal
culated that 100000 bales of Austria
liam and South American wool will be
brought to this country by the New
England syndicate within the given
time, and as each bale averages 100
pounds, it means 5OO,OOO,OOO pounds OF
| wool, and if the duty be placed at 10
cents per pound the syndicate is bound
to clear $50, 100000"

Now Lives in a Town Where
Law Protects.
Deplorable Explanation Of Why 01e
Store Is Vacant.

There are no end ofcases in .his policy
ridden city where families have come to
grief through the game, and there are
many that will never come to light as tho
victims offer all sorts of excuses. There is
good sized store vacant on Westminster
street and the vacancy is due TO policy.
Ii had been formerly occupied by fruit
dealer who, with his wife and three
children, not only made comfortable liv-
ing but had managed to lay aside a little
fer rainy day. The husband and father
became infatuated with gam bling and for
q year or more had been daily coutribu-
tor to the game of policy before his wife
an children became aware Of the fact and
il wes only learned when the wife found
a handful Of returns. She asked what
they represented.
Ine husband confessed aud. strange To
say, he explained the working or the game
in so giowinga a manner that the wife de.
cdPd 10 try her Eand.
This encouraged tho husband and no
PLAYED heavier than ever. In q sho!t time
lie failed to pay his ellis the stock in his
store showed that something was wrong.
and at last the end came His credit was
ruined and he was Obliged To give up the
store
This was net sll for he was exceedingly
popular aud WAS "a member OF number
of secret societies ana held a position OF
trust in oach of them.
One morning. his tenement on Marshall
street was found empty, but whore he
had gone no one knew, bat Ii was known
that the landlord was out nearly ten
months rent.
lno following wecE and for weeks after
IL was found that he had Appropriated no
small amount of tie funds cf the different
secret societies
IL was aftcrward learned that the man
had gonc To Connecticut. where his wifo's
relatives lived and they started him in
business again, and IL can be said In his
honor that so far rs possible he has made
good the shortage in the secret societies,
and says that ho will pay every dollar
that he owes.
10 friend, he acknowledged that
policy was the cause of his downfall and
says that he thanks God that he livos in a
city where policy Is not allowed To bo
played.
