THERE has been a terrible shrink
age Of stocks again the past week, and
millions upon millions Of dollars have
been lOst in the drop. a panic seems
imminent, and unless there is soon
turn for the better there must be wide
spread disaster. The slump in prices Of
stocks and bonds has been general, and
gilt-edge railroad securities have gone
down along with the industrials'
United States Steel stock, which was
81. in January, was 10 on Monday
last; General Electric dropped from
2O4 to l36 in the same time; B. &
O. Railroad, from lO4 to 7ls; Penn

Central, l56 to l15; Reading, GO to

These are examples Of the way prices
have gone down, and the end is not
yet in sight. Many persons expect
to see a great panic in the near future.

OUR good friend Senator John J..
Cornwell, Of Hampshire county, made
an excellent speech at Charles Town
last Saturday on the tax question, and
though his views differ, we believe,
from those of majority of his con-
stituents, he frankly and courageously
expressed them, and we have heard
Of no one finding any fault with him.
His speech has been published in full
in the Fairmont Times, which may be
regarded as the official organ of the
tax-dodging corporations. We heard
Senator CornwelI's speech and We
read his address in the Times, and We
have come to the conclusion that he Is
now entirely eligible to membership
il Congress with free access to the
columns Of the Congressional Record.
What he said and what he is reported
to have said are entirely different, for
We notice that while he repeats low
ing remark or two about the editor of
the REGISTER, in print he takes fling
that he didn't utter in his speech.
Now, we give Senator Cornwell credit
for all honesty and sincerity in his
views, but we have fully as much re-
spect for and belief in the honesty
and sincerity OF Governor White, and
insist upon having the same for our
self. There are some persons who
fear that our junior Senator is going
over to the Philistines who are so
largely possessing our land, but We
shall not lose faith IN him nor change
our belief that he is one of the truest
as we'll as one of the ablest Senators
we have ever had.

lieve that tunnel connects the cathe-
dral with the castle of Chapultepec. the
presidential residence, three and u half
miles away, at the end of the Paseo de
Ia Reforma, one of the finest and no.
blest public drives in the world.
One Of the historic streets of Mexico
II Mariscala. This faces the north side
Of the Alameda, the largest and most
fashionable park of the city. 1t Was
along this street that the army of Cor.
tez. the great conQueror of Mexico,
passed on the dismal night when he
was driven from the city by the Aztecs
On this street. too, occurred some of
the most desperate fighting on that ter
rible night. There the Spaniards were
able to do nothing against the tigerlike
ferocty and fanaticism of the Aztecs.
On the opposite side of the Alameda
IL Avenida Juarez. named after the
great Mexican reformer. who had freed
the country from the grinding rule OF
the church. This is wide. well paved
street and on account of its width and
its central location is the scene of all
the public professions, especially those
Of civic character. This street is a
continuation of the great public drive.
the Paseo de la Reforma.
Many of the streets have very curious
names. For instance. there are the
Street of the Lost Child. the Street Of
Peace. the Street of the Arts. that Of
the Wood Owls, the Deer. Sorrow. the
Sad Indian, the Holy Ghost, of Christ,
Of Jesus, of the Sanctified Virgin. of the
Purified Virgin, of Death and the Lane
of the Rat. All of these have stories
connected with them. Many of the
streets have names that sound impious
thought Of impiety in naming them
than there is in calling boy Jesus. The
Street of the Holy Ghost was original
ly the Street of the Church of the Holy
Ghost. So on with the other streets
bearing sacred names. This curious. In
eOngruous use of sacred names is to be
frequently noted in Mexico.
The streets Of Mexico commemorate
the names Of many famous rulers. They
also record the names of desperate
characters There is the Street of Don
Juan Manuel, who committed murder
in defense of his own honor. which he
believed his wife had trified with. Re
port says that the house where he lived
was haunted and for very many years
it remained empty because no one
dared to live in 1t.
There is also the Street of the Raven,
where it Is said there lived an old man
who had sold his soul to the devil Here
he lived with a raven which the COM
mon people believed was the devil in
disguise. One day the old man and the
bird disappeared in the course of ter
rible thunderstorm, leaving behind
them only few feathers and sus
picious smell of birthstone. So the street
was called Ifter the raven because the
people did not wish to take the name OF
the devil In vain.-Modern Mexico.

Methods Employed by Some Of the
stores to Avoid Arrests.
Though there is every appearance in
all the great London shops that the
public is to be trusted implicitly, an
elaborate and carefully organized sys-
tam of espionage prevails to circum-
vent the designs Of the peripatetic
thief and the marauding kleptomaniac.
The invisible detective, whose office
u some unsuspected gallery in the
ceiling, whence from artfully designed
peepholes in the molding he can sur
vey the whole establishment, Is the
most successful foil to the shoplifter.
But there are only few shops SO
structurally designed that surveillance
Of this kind is possible. Some of the
jewelers. treasure palaces are guarded
IN this manner, and to make assurance
doubly sure no attendant Is without
his satellite. who keeps wary eye on
the cases Of gems exposed to the Gus
toners inspection, standing at tie

them.
At all periods careful watch is kn.;.
on those dress establishments that a.n
pervaded by women, but more esre-
cially at sale time, for II is then that
eovetousness Overwhelms morality most
easily. and the crowded state Of the
shops favors the picker up Of uncOn-
sidered trifles. A manager Of one Of
the largest establishments in the me-
tropolis says II is In those departments
that are not spacious that pilfering
principally goes on and that in them
detective supervision is always most
acute.
Every shopwalker and counter at
tendant is In effect detective, but
there are some professionals who as.
sumo the guise to hide their real posi-
ton. 1t is the duty Of each attendant
when he is suspicious Of customer to
call the attention of the detective to
her. not blatantly. but by prearranged
sign. The detective then keeps the sus
pect under her immediate eye. In the
large emporiums where women chiefly
congregate the most efficient, because
the least conspicuous. detectives are
women. either employed as shopwalk-
ers or as customers.
When an attendant misses or thinks
he misses something or notices disturb
ing signs of thievery he speaks to the
detective. who, as an elegantly garbed
customer. seats herself In a position
commanding good view Of the SIS
pect and makes her purchases like any
other woman. all the while gathering
data upon which to proceed. The dis
guise assumed by the shop detective
differs day by day.

THF OLD CITY OF MEXICO
Curious Legends that FlOurished in the
Ancient TOwn-The Story of the
Street of the Raven

Every Old city has its legends, its
characteristic quarters. OF al the cit
les in the new world. Mexico has clus-
tered within it more Of legend, history,
tradition and quaint customs and peo-
pie than any other. Almost every
street has its story, and these stories
cover all the gamut of the picturesque.
the horrible, the sentimental and the
pathetic.
In its early history the City OF Mex
leo was divided into wards, or quar-
ters, each one of which was the special
home of some trade or profession.
There was the street or quarter of the
shoemakers, the streets of the silver
smiths, of the bakers, of the saddle
makers, Of the butchers, of the watch
makers, of the silk merchants, of the
wine sellers and SO on. There was
even the street of the coffin makers
Many Of these old names still exist
though the caste-like character of the
streets has somewhat changed. One Of
the most fashionable streets of the city
70 Plateros. the street of the silver
smiths. Even today there are more
jewelry shops OH this street than any
other kind of business, and here still
are to be found the most fashionable
jewelry and art curiO stores of the city.
The street of the coffin makers still
exists and is now very appropriately
known as the Street of Death. 1t is a
narrow lane, running the length of
only one block.
CincO de Mayo (5th of May street
was named in commemoratiun of the
decisive advantage gained by Mexican
troops over the French, which took
place upon that date. This naming of
streets, parks and public places after
dates is common in Spanish countries.
One end of Cinco de Mayo street en-
tiers the ZocalO. the principal square OF
the city The Zocalo has seen many
historic happenings. There in olden
times was the great temple of the Az
tees. which was, with its accompanying
base or pyramid, larger than st. Pe-
ter's at Rome, the largest church build
ing in the world. There, too, was the
palace of Montezuma, in fact, two pal
aces, both noted, one the old. in which
were quartered Cortez and his officers.
Q building whose vast size excited the
admiration of even the Spaniards them
selves. used as they were to the vast
structures of the MOors of their day.
which still existed in Spain in all their
splendor.
On the Zocalo. too, is the Cathedral
Of Mexico. the third largest church
building in the world. which occupied
100 years in building. On this public
square the common people believed for
a long time that the ghost Of the unfor.
tunate Aztec emperor. Montezuma.
wandered at night lamenting the loss Of
empire and the destruction Of. his peo.
pie. Even. today the humber folk he.
