HONESTY IN WALL STREET.
How j. p. Morgan Taught Lesson to
Some Shrewd Brokers.

How ]. r. Morgan Taught Lesson to
Some shrewd Brokers'.
A few weeks ago Wall street firm
was agent for coterie of street rail-
road capitalists In Philadelphia. The
agents held about 10000 shares of stock
for the capitalists on margin-shares
that the Philadelphians were under
moral obligations to control. One day
the agents sent word to the Philadel-
phians that those shares must be taken
up at once or they would be thrown
on the market. The New York men
knew that 1t would be impossible for
the. Pennsylvanians to take up those
stocks on such short notice. Anticipat-
ing their failure to do so, the New York
agents had agreed to sell at a low price
far more of the stock than they had
held. They expected that when the co.
600 shares were cast upon the market
they would be able to buy at still
lower price all that was needed to fill
their own contracts. and that heavy
gain would be made.
This was scheme that in other years

injury of many more than those imme-
diately concerned. But n new power
had come into Wall street. The Phil
adelphia men took special train to
New York and went to J. Pierpont Nor
gan. They informed him of their pre-
dicament "Tell those fellows to send
that stock in to me-" replied Mr.. Nor
gan at once. The agents were In de-
spair. They were forced to ask for the
twenty-four hours allowed by the Stock
Exchange in such emergencies. Next
morning the agents said that by mis-
take In bookkeeping 1t had been thought
that securities were In New York which
were really In London, and they could
not be delivered for week or more.
Meanwhile the stock was largely
bought on the Stock Exchange the
the price went up, and the agents were
forced to buy at very high prices In
order to deliver the 10000 and other
shares they had agreed to deliver at
reduced prices. The agents had ex-
treme difficulty In retaining their seat
on the exchange, and some very salu-
tary advice was administered before
the incident was closed.-World's

Chinese Documents.

Many ancient documents have been
discovered in the exploration of the
sand-cOvered towns of Chinese
Turkestan. They consist of writings
on wooden tablets, and are sealed and
tied when found the sand having pre-
served them In excellent condition.
Even the ink with which they were
written Is still black and easily read.
1t is believed that these documents will
throw much light Oh the life and GUS
toms OF the people that formerly lived
In this desert. The script In which they
are written Is of a kind still known in
India.

MRS. HYATT ARRESTED.
Woman COnfesses to Murdering'Her
Baby Girl.

Wilbur. Aug. 22.-Sheriff Gardiner
and his son came in during the evening,
bringing with them as prisoners, Jasper
Hyatt and his wife, charged with the
murder of their infant child, which she
accused an unknown man of killing.
The sheriff covered every road leading
from the old Kaufam place by which
the supposed murderer could have gone,
and interviewed every harvesting outfit
and occupants of farm houses en- route
but without hearing anything of any
stranger answering to the description.
He and his son then drove out to the
home of the Hyatts, where the crime
was committed.
On arrival the sheriff called Hyatt
from the house and read the warrant to
him and placed him under arrest. In
the meantime his son had entered the
house, where the woman was, and after
talking for short time he obtained a
full confession from her that she had
murdered the child in a weak spell, to
which she was subject, and did not re-
member anything of the particulars and
had no motive for the act.
She said the story about the man was
fabrication. and that there had been
no one at the house She does not i'm
plicate her husband, and as yet there is
nothing to show that he was aware OF
her act.

WISE ONES WEEP.
kfng Alfonso Listens to Little Adj
vice and Acts on None,

Madrid, Aug. 23.-The king contin-
ues to give dignitaries and the nobility
pa'pitation of the heart by his eccentric
conduct. His latest action of a nature
to cause CONSERVATION is his positive
refusal to marry European princess,
as advised by his councillors. He an
nounces his intention of marrying the
daughter of some South American mill
lionaire for the purpose of mending the
impaired finances of the state and with
the further object of recouciling the
Republican elementby taking plebian
wife and restoring Spanish prestige in
Spanish America.
The king treats his official councillors
with what they deem great contempt.
He listens to very little advice from
anybody and accepts none. The youth
full ruler also horrifies his elders by
proclaiming his views upon all subjects
with the utmost freedom. and in slang
language. He is beginning to be looked
upon as incorrigible.

DANGEROUS ELEMENT.
Coal Operators Uneasy Over For
eign Competition

eISn competition
New York, Aug. pa local coal
journal says that the Welsh coal opera
ors agree to deliver their product at
wharves in Boston, New York, Phila-
delphia and Baltimore at from $500
TO $6.6S per ton, according to quality.
As this is far below the present price
of anthracite coal. the announcement
has caused much uneasiness among the
American coal operators. If the Welsh
operators carry out their proposition
upon large scale the effect will he to
drive American coal out of the market.
1t is thought that the prospect of Welsh
competition may end the strike quickly.
The anthracite combination has looked
calmly upon the curtailment of produc-
tion because there was every reason to
believe that the increase in price would
yield as large profit as the regular
output at former rates.

government of the island. From these
special lists three division superinten-
dents and % teachers were appointed.

civil government the general superin-
tendent stated:
II have had much difficulty in find
ing people in this lot of applications
who are possessed of the educational
preparation and teaching experience
which is required of other appointees in
this department. Those who have not
been selected seem to be wholly un-
suitable"
