Rows in wal street.

From Harper's Round Table
A Wall street boy is expected to be at
the office at O'Clock in the morning. and
remain there as long as his services are
needed, though he usually gets away
about O'Clock He has an allowance OF
half an hour at noon for luncheon, but
the rest of the time belongs to his em-
ployer. He is expected to be neat in ap-
pearance, clean a S to hands and face, well
hammered. truthful at all times, prompt
in obedience, and faithful in guarding the
secrets of his employers. atf
The duties first assigned to him are to
carry messages, deliver stocks at other
BROKERAGE offices. and obtain checks for
them. After a while he is advanced to
making comparisons of sales of stocks and
taking checks received from other brokers
to be certified at the banks.
OF late years the stock exchange clear
ing house has done away with so much OF
the stock delivery by boys that the num-
ber of them on the street is not more than
not uncommon TO see from twenty-five 10
one hundred boys waiting in liT = at each
of the prominent banks to get checks cer-
titled, and nearly every bank employed a
private policeman to keep the boys In line
and in order.
A story is told Of new boy on the
street who once went to make a delivery
of stock When the bookkeeper made np
the accounts at the close of the day he
found himself $4,000 short. and an exam
inatiou of the books showed that one Z
the boys had failed to bring back check
in return for some stock he had deliv-
cred.
He was perfectly innocent about the
matter, and said that he had handed the
papers i'm at the Office where he was sent
TO make the delivery and as they gave
him nothing he supposed there was noth-
ing for him to get His employer treated
him kindly, and told him to be careful
not to make the same mistake again. He
never did. That boy 1t now at the head

1SfT. She remembers clearly the Mexican
uprising ill 1871, led by Gen. Miguel Hidal-
CO. and she loves to speak of those days
to show how sound her memory remains.
The sonora was then Mrs. Ignacio Rafael.
She was "a years old and the mother of two
little children. Her young husband was
a volunteer in the army which Hdalgo
quickly mustered to fight the mother coun-
try. The old lady tells how she heard the
din of the battle of Guadalajara from the
ranch hacienda, seven miles distant
among the mountains where she and her
children and hundreds more of frightened
women and children had fed. When Hi
dalgo was executed for rebellion, huH-
dreds of men who had followed his for
tunes fled from the country, and many
more were ordered out of Mexico. She
and her children made their way across
tho mountains by OK team to Mazatlan in
1872 After waiting there seven weeks.
she found passage on a stray sloop sail
ing up the Pacific coast, and came to a
little. half-starved Franciscan mission of
San Diego on the ocean shore. Her hus-
band had previously started overland for
Alta, California, and because he was fore
ed to travel in disguise to avoid arrest by
the successful Spanish sympathizers he
was six months in getting from Monterey,
Mexico, to San Diego.
The old sonora remembers well visit
she and her second husband, Felipe Blan-
carte, also an escaped follower of Hidalgo
from Mexico, made to what is now the
city of San Francisco in 1877 They went
there on sailing vessel in the employ
of the Russian fur traders along the
coast, and ii was their intention to settle
there. At that time there were at San
francisco some 300 white people, who liv-
ed in and about the Franciscan mission,
Dolores, and over 1000 Indians and half
breeds, who worked on the mission lands
and herded the mission cattle and sheep.
The coyotes, rattlesnakes, gophers and
ground squirrels lived by ten of thousands
where the business centers of San Fran
cisco now is. There was no good soil
for grazing purposes in what is now San
Francisco for the Blancarte couple to on
ter upon free, so they moved down the
coast to the promising and growing COM
munity at Monterey on the Pacific shore,
and became interested in cattle simply cor
the money there was in the hides and tall
low.
Sonora de Soto has a good recollection
of the fright ALI the Mexican families in
Monterey and Los Angeles had when Com
modore Stockton and Gen. Fremont com
bined their naval and land forces and took
Monterey and Los Angeles in August.
1916, for the United States, and when Alta
California passed out of the control of
Mexico. The sonora says that she heard
the firing of the cannon, and believing
that she was going to see another fright
ful battle like that at Guadalajara thirty
five years before, she hid and shivered in
an adobe cellar for two whole days.

FANCY DRESS AND RAGS.
How Society's Lavish Expenditures
Benefit the Poor in Europe.

Ex-Attache in New York Tribune.
1t would seem as though there was some
sort OF connection between the misery of
the poor and the fancy dress balls OF the
rich. For 1t IL a peculiar fact that when
ever the destitution has been the most in
tense in Paris. Vienna. Berlin and otner
European capitals society has selected just
that particular period OF organizing the
form Of entertainment which consists in
arraying ones self in costumes of another
age and cline. While there Is no doubt
that the spectacle of the luxury display ed
in connection with festivities OF this char
acter Is calculated 10 excite the nl-will
and even the exasperation of the stafv-
ing who naturally become angered by a
condition of affairs which permits a faV-
ored class of fellow-citizens to spend hum
dreds OF thousands of dollars In amuse-
ment while they themselves are dying for
want Of bread. on the other hand It Will
be seen that fancy dress ball leads TO
the dissemination of far more money
among the poorer classes than any other
species OF entertainment.
This has been thoroughly recognized
ON the other side of the Atlantic that
whenever times have been particularly
bad. and distress among the poor. In Vi

among the rich as would be most likely
to bring about large expenditure or
money among the working classes. Prin-
cess Metternch invariably responded by
getting up a fancy dress ball as the class
of entertainment most calculated to meet
the requirements Of the case, and so satis-
factory have been the experiences In this
respect that fancy dress balls have now
been adopted as part and parcel Of the
Vienna winter season, the year when they
were omitted. In consequence of the tragic
death of the Crown Prince Rudolph. hav-
ing been marked by much suffering, des-
titution and misery.
The same thing has taken place in Ber-
lin, st. Petersburg. Rome, London and
Paris, where the most cruel winter within
the memory of the present generation was
signalized by fancy dress ball In the Fau-
bourg ST. Germain mansion Of the Prin-
cess de Sagan, at which all the guests
present appeared disguised as some bird,
some four-footed animal or insect, the hos
tess herself being sttired as a wasp. The
ball in question excited no end of hostile
comment on the part OF that portion of
society which had not been hidden TO II,
and especially IN the metropolitan press.
But az the same time it caused the expen-
dituro of an immense amount of money
among the working classes, which would
otherwise have remained locked up IN
safes.
one OF the strangest features OF these
fancy dress balls Is the fondness OF SOW

The House Committee Further Com

Washington. Feb. 9.-The House COM
mittee on coinage, weights and measures
to-day further considered the Senate bill
providing for the appointment of dele
gates to the international monetary con-
ference to be held at some later day.
Mr. Hill of Connecticut, member of
the committee on banking and currency,
addressed the committee in opposition to
the bill. He was opposed to it under
the circumstances especially at this time.
He denied any responsibility laid on
the members of this congress on this
subject If the bill was a pledge of
the ST. Louis platform it did not need the
Endorsement of Senator Jones and others
of the silver party. Further, il did not
behooVe a democratic administration to
carry out the pledge of a republican con-
vention. This obligation was upon the
President and members of congress chosen
at the last election, and we should wait
until the President-elect was installed in
office before a crusade of this kind was
begun
