"a great deal of the panic of Thurs

member of the firm of Talbot ]. Taylor

the height of the excitement some Of
the young men lost their heads entire
ly. They were throwing away their
stocks like rubbish and going crazy be-
cause they could not get rid of them
faster. Then there were the we'll sea-
soned brokers', men who have weather
ed many such a storm. Many of them
stood holding on to the younger men
with both arms trying TO keep them
cool. but to no avail. Whatever may
have been the causes Of the panic, it
was to a great extent augmented by
the inexperienced losing their heads"
How was it that the panic came on
Thursday?' asked young man with a
white waistcoat of an elderly man
with a white mustache. Both were

''But don't panics generally come on
Friday? Black Friday, you know-I
thought that was the unlucky day"
"They sometimes come on Thurs
day." replied the man with the white
mustache. "Such Thursdays are called
black and blue Thursdays. They don't
kill you outright, but bruise you up so
as to make you wish you were dead"

Some Interesting Incidents of
Black Thursday.

Black and Blue Thursdays Bro

Here are some interesting incidents
of the great panic in Wall street on the
recent memorable black Thursday, says
the New York Tribune:
Around the table at the Waldorf-As-
toria Thursday evening were gathered
John w. Gates, a. \. Housman. John
Ii. Davis and some other heavy opera
tors in the market. The violent break
in prices was the subject under discus
sion, and Russell Sage came in for
some criticism. Mr.. Sage has Cecently
given out several interviews, saying
the market was too high. and some
think that to certain extent he was to
blame for the break. Il tell you what
let us do" said one of the party. Let
us make old Sage sporty offer for 80
shares of Missouri Pacific to be called
in five months at 105. Let's offer . per
cent for the call" The others thought
a minute, and one of the party said:
well. that's all right. / will go in for
ten shares" Another spoke up and
said, Il will take ten" The man who
made the original proposition said,
well, count me in for another ten" 4
bystander who heard this conversation
said in a Disguised way. Il thought
those fellows were big operators, but
here they are haggling over ten share
lots" One of the initiated said con-
temptuously: You don't know their
game. When they say 80 shares, they
mean 10000. That is call on 10000
shares, and 1 guess that is sporty
enough" The one who had comment
ed said, "Oh" and walked off.

There is n man at the Waldorf-As-
toria who is interested in several large
farms out west. He had never specu-
lated in the market, but he came here
for n vacation. The fever of specu-
lation was in the air. and he heard of
stock CANDLES on all Gides. Finally he
thought he would try his hand, and.
meeting n man from the northwest
with whom he was OH intimate terms,
he asked his advice. Whether the sec
ond man had any actual knowledge of
what was to come or whether he struck
it by accident is not known, but he
said to his friend. why don't you buy
some Northern Pacifc:" The novice
said, How much Will it cost me:'
His friend said, well, l would put up
30 points margin just for Safety'S
sake" The amateur Spectator count
ed his ready cash and found he had
about $4,000. He went into brokers'
Office and said. Buy me all the North
ern Pacific that will carry at 20 points
margin" He secured 200 shares. The
next morning he was eating his break
fast in the cafe when his broker rush
ed in, wild eyed, and said: Northern
Pacific is selling at $50. What shall
dog The man was dazed, but he re-
allied what it meant and yelled, Sell
itr' The broker dashed back into the
office, and the man, disregarding his
breakfast, followed him. When they
got there, the stock had touched 1000.
LET her go"' screamed the amateur,
and the stock was offered, but by that
time the price had dropped to 200, and
at that figure he sold out. When he
realized what he had netted, he walk
ed back to the cafe, looked at his
breakfast, now cold, and finally said,
well, neverr' And a man who had
overheard the remark and knew of the
transaction said bluntly, Il don't think
anybody else ever did either"'

The extreme protectionists are now
beginning to train their guns on Speaker
Henderson az we'll as chairman Babcock,
the 'Benedict Arnold" Of this cause.

Speaker Henderson for his association

and more seriously being urged as an OBJ
lection to Henderson's reelection as
speakerithat he is in sympathy with the
Babcock crowd of tariff revisers." 1t Is
also learned that every one of the men
associated with Bahcock in his wicked
purpose to deprive the billion-dollar
trusts of tariff help is member OF the
combination that originally brought about
nenderson's election to the speakership.
This would seem to mean that pretty
much the whole Republican West is with
Babcock against any tariff for trust pro-
lection. Whether, under these circum-
stances, Henderson can be thrown down
or not is quite another matter. The
Press correspondent presents this feature
of the case in disheartening manner.

CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE.
Will Arrive July 4. Arrangements TO,
Their Entertainment.

The committee in charge Of the recep-
ton of the committee of congress on
rivers and harbors met in the city coun-
Gil room Monday afternoon, and com.
pleted the program for the entertainment
Of the visitors.
The visiting party will arrive by special
train in Aberdeen at 8 o'clock a. m. on
July Fourth, and look over Aberdeen's
commercial importance and possibilities.
In the afternoon, the party will 60 up the
river on the steamer T. G. Reed, and in.
spect the industries Of Cosn,opolis, and
the Chehalis river, probably as far as
Montesano. returning down the river to
Hoquiam for dinner.
After inspecting the industries of Ho'
quiam, on the morning Of July 5, the
party will board the steamer Reed for
Westport, landing at the jetty dock.
After examining the jetty, an adjourn
ment to the Westport wharf will be had,
where clam bake and lunch will be

defray the expenses Of the entertain
ment apportioned among the towns as
follows: Aberdeen, $3.50; Hoquiam.
1925; Cosmopolis, $50; Montesano, 1856;
Westport, $40. In addition to the cash
collection in Montesano, that city was to
provide conveyance for the party from
the train to the steamer, had the party
transferred at that city. as was at first
arranged.
To avoid overlooking the steamer, the
local passengers will be restricted to 100,
and tickets for that number will be pro-
vided by the committee, to be distributed
in the different towns, probably among
those who contribute toward the expense
vi the occasion.
