A LUCKY PLATE OF SOUP.
How New Yorker Made Money
Through Heavy Speculation.

How New Yorker Made Money
Through Heavy Speculation.
A New Yorker in London during
the recent time of excitement ON the
Stock Exchange attributes his fortu-
nate issue from a series of heavy
speculations to an accident that, says
the New York Sun, was connected
with nothing more occult and super
natural than plate of soup. He
was at dinner when the recent crisis
was at its height. The soup was ver-
micelli, with the customary letters
floating IN IT, In the conversation the
New Yorker was contending against
the-general argument that the EXIST
ing high prices were not likely to de-
cline but rested on business basis
which made it certain they would
be maintained He was lifting the
spoon to his liDs after very spirited
utterance on the subject when he
saw that the four letters in his spoon
spelt the word ''sell. =
He is not snperstltious man but
he incident set him thinking. He
swallowed the omen without mention
ing it. He continued to eat and the
party confined it's talk chiefly to the
condition of the stock market in this
city. When he dippped his spoon in
the soup for the last mouthful the
New York operator saw that only six
of the -four letters remained in the
plate, but they spelt the word ''un
load.
This coincidence was too much even
for the doubling stockbroker who ex-
cused himself from the table and went
to the cable office of the hotel. He
sent word to his broker here to close
out all his railroad holdings and the
difference in time brought the mes
sage here for the opening of the mar
ket on the day of the panic His
broker followed his directions and he
came out heavy winner 1t is not
surprising that his fayorite soup i

Such calamity however, saws

it is, goes on almost unmoved and
unconcerned about it.
The figures given above form the
brief official announcement of the
number killed and injured by railways
of the United States for the year end
ed June 80, 1899 The statistic is Off
cially softened by ratio statement
that only one person was killed or
injured for certain number of mil
hon miles accomplished by trains.
The public is still further treasured to
the effect that only 239 passengers
were killed and only 3, 432 were injur-
ed, which gives over sixty million
miles travelled for one injured. We
are told that A, 5I4 persons killed were
really trespassers as were also 6, 355 of
the injured. They got in front of ii e
trains when they ought to have had
business elsewhere. Some of them
were only tramps. stealing rides, thus

the report shows that during the per-
