HAIR PARTED IN THE MIDDLE


Professor Starr of Chicago Says 1t Is

parting the hair in the middle is a

the other day at the University of Chi

CAUGHT in THE n
James r.. Keen ~squeezes Big NORTH
ern PACIFIC eShort, For $500. 900.

James II. heene Big North
ern Pacific "Short' For 500 o
A dramatic sequel to the famous
Northern Pacific stock panic came to
light recently in Wall street, says the
New York Journal. James R. Keene,
the doughty 'bull' lieutenant for j.
Pterpont Morgan, played h role Of the
conquering hero, while a member Of
one Of the largest brokerage firms on
the exchange appeared as the van
pushed in a stirring financial bat
tie. The story is that Keene enforced
settlement of short contracts on the
big room trader, depicting the latter's
bank account to the extent Of at least
100000.
Mr.. Keene, it is said, had purchased
about 1900 shares of the stock from
this trader shortly after the price had
crossed par, and he gave him until the
Majestic should arrive from England
to deliver the certificates. The Males
tic arrived, but the consignment of
Northern Pacific stock she brought to
this gentleman was only 5000 shares.
By this time the fact of a hard and
fast corner, possibly the hardest and
fastest that the stock market ver saw,
had been fully established, and the
trader was appalled, at his predica-
ment.
The stock had jumped hundreds OF
points and actually sold at $1,000 a
share. Even at the fancy figures 1t
was understandable.
"Only 5000 shares have arrived, Mr..
Keene," he said, "but 1 have cabled to
my correspondents in London to rush
the remaining 5000 shares over" He
waited q few seconds that seemed
hours for an answer and then remark
ed tremblingly that perhaps Mr.. Keene
might prefer a cash settlement. mo-"
said Mr.. Keene; sit Is the stock we
want" Then he left.
Urgent were the messages the cable
bore for the broker to London, where
he had bought numerous calls in North
ern Pacific, but where not another
share of the stock was obtainable.
This at length he had to admit to Mr..
Keene, who insisted that he must buy
the stock in the open market
It was this traders frantic efforts,
according to all accounts, that caused
the big rise of 10 points in Northern
Pacific the other day on transactions
totaling barely 1000 shares. He de-
livered these recently and swore he
could not possibly obtain any more.
He was still short some 1000 shares.
Then Mr.. Keene agreed to release him
On payment to him Of nearly $1,0O0,O00,
representing the price of the stock at
more than 5000 a share. AS Mr.. Keene
had paid him about 500 a share, the
net profit to Mr.. Keene was considera-
bly, upward Of $4OO,OOO
The head of the house, which vas
mentioned as the one that figured in
this disastrous operation, denied that
his firm had been caught short a single
share of Northern Pacific stock and
therefore was not the firm which re

Gloves For Summer.

White gloves have been in regular

and by all signs and omens for reading
the future they are good for another
dozen years Of modish patronage. Very
heavy cream white dogskin gloves are

they are of the shape and color

coachman's gloves, says the Pittsburg
Dispatch.
There is a gun metal gray glace glove
stitched in white or silk Of the same
shade as the kid and fastens with large
silver buttons that struggles with some
success for recognition among the well
gowned shoppers, who call them coach
ing gloves. In reality they are meant
for wear on the box seat of a trap, and
because every woman does something
more OF less athletic these days the
morning gloves are as loose as the sin
on a high bred dogs back.

Hand Painted.

For some time abortive attempts
have been made to make hand painted
gowns fashionable. And there seems
to be some possibility that the idea
may be taken up this season. It will
certainly be caviare to the general, for
the very good reason that it will be a
mode which can only be INDUCED in by
those able to pay save in cases Of
course where girls are fortunate
enough to possess artistic talent. The
fashion prophets tell us that not only
gowns and blouses, but parasols and
stockings-nay, even gloves-are to be
adorned with hand painted sprays. The
effect will doubtless be pretty enough,
and, though of course the fashion is
bound to be an e~xtravagant one, yet
the balance will be adjusted, as it al
ways is in these matters, since it will
give employment to many women who
can use their brush.

4 Protest to BE Made Against
CHANCES on Brightwood Line.

a joint committee representing the Ia
lloma Park and BrightwoOd Citizens AS
sociations viii meet the officers of the
! Washington Traction and Electric Com
pany at "a day in the near future and rec
ommend a return to the old through car
service from those suburbs 10 the city.
/ The citizens along the Brightwood line
generally have objected strenuously to
the recent change from the through serv-
ice on the ground that it is a great incon-
/! venience and hardship which is not only
unpleasant for present residents but a
disbursement TO the growth of the sub
urbs.
A mass meeting was at first intended,
but this was given UP in favor of the
Joint meeting of the committee with the
company officers. as the latter plan
seemed more likely TO produce beneficial
results.
The officers or the two associations re-
Gently met at the office OF Louis 2. Shoe
maker, ia this city, and agreed on plan
to be submitted 10 the company. The fol-
lowing were present: President l.. p.
Shoemaker. Of the Brightwood Associa-
tion; President J. H. Kinnear. of the Ia
koIna Association; w J. Lambert, NJ. j.
Wine, J. 5. Swornstedt. Charles Ray
Y. l.. Robinson, and G. W. King.
The demand to be made of the railway
company IS that through cars shall be
run on fifteen-minute schedule between
the suburbs and the city during the day.
and that extra cars shall be run from
Florida Avenue on the BrightWood line
in the morning and evening when the
traffic is heaviest. This plan Is IN q
rlea sure a compromise between the Old
schedule ana the one now in force. Jn-
der the old plan there was q regular ten
minute through schedule during the entire
day. with no extra cars At present there
ar. no through ears. but the time of run
ming II similar TO that proposed by the
committee ntteen-minute schedule, with
extra cars in the morning and evening.
Some residents in North Takoma ana
Brichtwood are not inclined TO agree 10
the plan of the committee, or at least,
they believe that further steps should be
taken. They suggest that a more radical
and permanent remedy for the alleged
abuSCS/of the railway company should be
sought. These people are in favor OF
agitation for q change of the laws by
the next Congress. One change proposed
IS that the District Commissioners be
given fun power TO control the schedules
Of al the street railways Of the Dis
trict
The belief is EXPRESSED by this more
radical portion of the citizens assoCia-
tions that the railway company Is not
likely to DO anything for the convent
ence o. the citizens that II IS not forced
last session of Congress the company at
tempted To pct double-faTe rule in Iorce
for the suburbs. but was dissuaded by
vigorous protests from the citizens aSsO-
Citations. Now. il is said, soon as
Congress has adjourned the company has
made another change almost If not quite
as Objectionable as the double-fare rule
These facts il is said, demonstrate that
the District Commissioners should be
given authority to control the railways in
all such matters.

ORDER FOR HAND sWEEPERs.
The New Machines satisfactory to
the Authorities.

Warner Stutler, Superintendent of the
Street Cleaning Department, has submit
ted to the Commissioners n favorable re-
port in regard to the effectiveness Of the
hand strcet-sweeping machines in use in
the department for several days and
which have been adopted by the Commis-
sioners The first Of these machines
was delivered to the department by
George A Fisher and J. NJ. WheatIey.
Mr.. Stutler says they have been given a
thorough trial on various kinds of paving
and on wet as well as dry streets He
says better work can be done with these
machines than with hand brooms and at
about one-third the cost to the District.
Mr.. Stutler informs the Commissioners
that the saving in the cost of the work
would enable the city, with its present
force, 10 add about 100000 square yards
to the daily hand-cleaning schedule.
which according TO the present cost per
1000 yards. would equal a saving of $50 u
dry. or s2l,2GO per annum.
This will enable the department, Mr..
Stutlcr thinks, to sweep many streets
three times a week which are now swept
only twice a week Continuing, the re-
port says:
The advantages to be attained by the
use OF this machine over the present
methods are as follows. The work is bet
Ter done, for the reason that no dust is
raised by the machine and scattered by
the wind. and much more Of the fine dust
is taken up. No spriukling is necessary,
as the dust is carried into the machine,
the operation Of which is very much like
that of q carpet sweeper.
The sprinkling of a street in advance
of sweeping prevents the machine or
broom from taking up the fine dust. In
stead il is plasteTed to the street by the
broom to become dust again as soon as
dry.
with the use Of, this machine one man
can care for onc-thiTd more area Of
streets and keep them cleaner than he
can with the hand broom. For the fore
going reasons and the further fact that
this machine is SUPERIOR to all others
tried by me. | would respectfully recon-
mend its adoption in this city"
The recommendation OF Mr. Stutlcr
having been adopted by the Com
siOhers, he stated, in speaking of the mat
ter yesterday, that he would place an
order within the next few days for Il Suf-
ficieut number Of the machines TO equip
his hand cleaning force OF POO men. Mr.
Stutler further said that after the ma
chimes are received he will add the 500. .0O0
square yards spoken Of in the report TO
the hand-cleaning schedule This, he said,
would take that area from that now
cleaned by the machine sweepcrS and en-
able the department to sweep ii three
times a week instead of twice a week, as
heretofore.
