the weapon in it's proper place. But
we'll regulated Eighth hussar would
scorn to wear his round his waist as
other cavalrymen do, knowing that he
alone has the proud privilege of wearing
1t over his right shoulder. This has been
allowed ever since 176S, as a reward for
the valor shown by his regiment at the
battle of Saragossa, where, among other
things, 1t captured the belts of the Span
ish cavalry opposed to it. Hence its nick
name of the Cross Belts.
Then the Northumberland fusiliers and
the Scots Greys both prize their bear

to wear them was conferred as reCos-

the latter captured the colors Of the Reg

A SAFE SYSTEM.
One hears @ good deal at all times in
Wall street about systems for safe spec
ulation, but the people who make money
out of such systems are those who ins
duce others to venture their money on
them. paying the purveyor Of the method
in question a fee for its use. Just now
the chart theory Is much IN vogue. There
are people who pin their faith absolutely
on 1t. The industry that the devotees OF
this idea display in keeping their charts
up to date-for 1t requires a good deal Of
industry to do that's almost amazing.
Every new quotation or fluctuation has
to be noted down, an undertaking requir>
ing much patience. Eventually, 1t IL
claimed, the chart will show which way
the particular stock or group OF stocks
will move, than which nobody could ask
more. If the claim Is a correct one, the
chart theory would be universal, where

SAGE STILL LEARNING.
Russell Sage has been somewhat neg
lected recently in the public prints, but
his backing down by resigning the office
of president In the fight In the Stand
ard Gas Light company has by no means
removed him from the attentions of the
gossip and rumor mongers who infest the
financial S-strict. They are now saying
that Mr.. Sage is In q pickle over having
sold Standard Gas stock which was de-
posted with him as collateral, and that
the demand of the owners Of some of this
stock for the return of the securities on
their making good the loans which they
obtained from him on them, is causing
the aged f1nancier considerable embar-
raSsment.
His offer to pay them the difference

money on the stock and the prevailing
market value was refused. The parties
want the certificates themselves to de-
post with the protective committee.
Failing that, they want better price
than even Mr.. Sage got for the block he
sold to Mr.. Whitney, and believing that
they have him in q hole are holding out
firmly. AS Mr.. Sage cannot get the stock
in the open market, he stands to lose
pretty penny, but he can stand it, con-
sidering his s100,000,000 fortune. The in
cident- is said to have embittered him
against speculative ventures on his own
account. Hereafter, 1t Is said, he has re-
solved that he will conf1ne himself to
money lending, attending S. and $40 d.

other enterprises only as guarantee GER

BROKERS AS SPECTATORS
When such past grand master of Wall
street as Mr.. Sage, with his two or three
generations Of experience IN the mael-
strom Of finance, can be so badly bitten,
it would seem that all spectators in the
stock or other markets should spell the
word caution several times before max
ing each commitment. 1t Is a notorious
fact, anyway-Mr. Sage's experience only
serves to call attention to it-that brok-
ers make their money out Of commissions
and perquisites, not out of speculation on
their own account. Generally the most
prosperous among them are those who Ia

WHERE rs KEENE?

One OF the interesting stories in con-
nection with the Third Avenue furry
that ig being retailed In brokers' offices
concerns Mr.. Keene. It Is one Of those
numerous Wall street yarns that can
never be vouched for, but are neverthe>
less worth thetelling. 1t goes that the
premier bear Of the local stock market
missed his guess in this connection and
plunged on the long side of the stock
when 1t was ruling much above par. The
narrators even state the alleged average
fgure-112-at which Mr.. Keene loaded up.
Those who prevailed upon him to so
commit himself are said to have offered
inducements in the belief that Mr.. Keene
possessed the necessary sleight Of hand
for manipulating the stock to much high
or figures Immediately Mr.. Keene found
all Wall street arrayed against him.
Parties, 1t was said, who had old scores
to settle with him considered this the
long sought for opportunity to get even.
1t was related, among other things, that
Mr.. Keene had smashed bull pools and
played havoc with stock market interests
of certain influential capitalists who had
in consequence 4, vowed vengeance. So
they brought irresistible pressure upon
Third Avenue. w
1t mattered not to them whether the
intrinsic value of the stock was better
than the price, or how much better.
Their sole aim was to put 1t down and

Elephants in the conversation had declared
in more or less positive terms that there
can be no system in stock speculation,
that man must watch things and act
according to each and every development
as his wisdom might dictate. One man
broke in then with an Utterance that
startled his hearers. FIe affirmed with all
