TO LIST SECURITIES
COTTON EXCHANGE WILL POST
LOCAL STOCKS AND BONDS.
COMMITTEE TO ARRANGE
DETAILS OF THE PLAN ADOPTED
By DIRECTORS.

Capt. FIannery and Messrs. Maclean
and Demere Members of the Com
mittee-Thc New Arrangement
VIII Assist in the Gathering OF
Quotations and other Informa-
transformations to Begin at Once.
At the February meeting of the
board of directors Of the Savannah
Cotton Exchange yesterday it was de-
cided TO list local stocks and bonds
for quotation on the exchange boards
The final arrangements were referred
10 a committee, composed Of Capt.
John Flannery. chairman and Messrs.
Edward Demere and Malcolm Maclea1,
with power to act,
The strong desire for the favorable
action taken by the directors made it
generally agreeable to those interested
when the result of the meeting was
known. For some time II has been
a settled question among large num-
Der that the listing of securities at
the Cotton Exchange will simplify the
gathering OF quotations, and admit OF
more accurate figures than could be
obtained promiscuously on the streets.
Cant Flannery said after the meet
ing that his committee will confer with
the Committee on Information and
Statistics as to space for the new
boards in the exchange, and other
matters il will be proper for this COM
mittee TO pass upon. When these mat
tiers are settled the new committee viii
proceed to arrange the details for the
listing of securities. The representa-
tive character of the committee to car
~ out the plan for posting stocks was
favorably commented upon by the sup
porters of the movement.
Much of the work in connection with
the new feature which will be added
TO the service of the exchange will de-
Volve upon Superintendent Merrihew.
The uniformly satisfactory manner in
which he has conducted the affairs of
the exchange entrusted to him in the
past is an assurance that he will be
thoroughly equal to the demands which
will be made upon him in the new serv-
fee. and confidence is felt that his
careful attention assures good results.
Next week viii probably witness the
posting of stocks.

Stories of the "get-rich-quick" plans
as pursued and operated by ]. ]. Ryan
and his associates, for which they are
now in trouble, and Ryan under ar
rest, are being circulated about the
country, the latest being furnished by
the St. Louis Star. as follows:
John ]. Ryan, better known among
the sporting class as Badly Ryan,
was lurid sport for fair. Ryan was
a short sport etc. 1t wasn't so long
ago when he knew what it was to need
money. The sudden wealth that came
to him as a result of the Turf Invest
ment Company caused him to make
queer breaks.
For instance, some weeks ago, when
customers were crowding his offices to
give him their money on his promise
to pay them per cent. a week, Ryan
staggered around numerous saloons
and cafes exhibiting five $1,000 bills,
which he carried carelessly in his
trousers pocket.
He showed 'em to me at 1 o'clock
in the morning. said a well-known
citizen, and they nearly knocked me
out. l had never seen but one s., 900
bill before in all my life. Ryan ham
died them as I would 80 cents
Another freak of Ryans was to
visit restaurants and cafes late in the
day, accompanied by a valet, as he
called him, who carried a satchel full
of greenbacks. Ryan was fond of ex-
planning that this money came in after
banking hours and that as he couldn't
deposit it he was safe-keeping it until
the morning.
In one Sixth street saloon he show
ed a valise in which he claimed there
was $40 900, which was paid in by suck
er investors after p. m. that day"

vestment concerns were lavish spend
ers of money Some weeks ago the
Postoffice Department was thinking of
holding up the mail of Z. J. Arnold &
Co. on the ground that the business
was fraudulent. Arnold hired a st.
Louis lawyer, who took in with him a
Washington lawyer of prominence.
When the Postoffice Department decid-
ed not to hold up the mail Arnold &
Co. paid the st. Louis lawyer S12,50O
as the fee for the work, part of which
went to the Washington practitioner.
1t is said that the st. Louis attorney
bought house and lot with his share
of the fee, which he is now making his
home.
Discussing the chances of getting any
money back from the various get-rich-
quick turf investment concerns, a we'll
known lawyer said to-day:
Manager Gill of E. ]. Arnold & Co.
is probably right The subscribers may
be just as liable for the debts of these
concerns as are the men who run them;
it all depends upon the manner in
which they were organized. Further
than this. under the usury law, the
situation may be serious for all who
patronized these concerns. Under this
usury law the subscribers cannot re-
cover their money legally, but an as
signee or other official who was set
ting up the estate could sue for all
the so-called dividends paid out, on
the ground that these payments We're
in the nature of uSurious interest. IN
der the usury law the capital is for
feited, and the interest paid can be
recovered. Clients of these investment
companies who are not judgment proof
may find themselves in difficult straits
very soor."
1t has been stated that several local
horsemen and others of Savannah were
duped by Ryan and his associates, but
when investigated no one could be
found who would admit having con-
tributed to Rvan's wealth.

HIMMLER A GOOD ONE.
Looked Upon as a Coming Champion.
Fighting His Way I'm,

Fighting His Way Up.
Chris Himmler, from whom Jack Col
lier tiuked last night. is looked upon
as coming champion. He has the
hight, age, reach and strength, to make
his way well up in the fistic world He
looks the athlete all over, and there
was not a person in the club house last
night, but picked him as a sure WIN
ner had Collier entered the ring to
give battle.
Himmler is modest and unassuming
He came here to fill his contract with
the club and was ready last night to
keep it. After the house had been
cleared he was asked if he would meet
Kid Carter, the clever middleweight
We'll, now, you are going a little
strong for me all at once. 1 am young
at the game. Can't you find an easier
proposition for me?" In explaining this
Himmler said that he has fought TWEEN
ty-fve battles and has never lost a
decision. II am fighting my way up"
he said, land don't want to go up I'M
til I have advanced there by expert
ence."
1t is probable, however. that Him
mler will have to go in the light heavy
weight class. as he is gaining flesh
rapidly and says he will never train
below 1853 pounds again. In his recent
match with Eddie Conally he made
15S pounds, but was so weak that he
did we'll in pulling out with a draw.
He said that he had no idea what Col
lier was going to weigh last night,
but, even had he known, he would not
have trained lower than he was, as
the articles called for catch weights.
He regretted the failure to pull off the
bout, as he was anxious to box and
show the people here what he can do.
He made many friends by his gentle
manly actions, and it is safe to say
would be a great drawing card if
matched here in the future with some
good man.

in his private practice with such
favorable results that he finally de-

gives his absolute guarantee that it
contains no alcohol, opium or other
harmful narcotics. The trouble with
many tonics put up for the public is
that they depend upon alcohol for
their stimulating effect; this is some
thing DIR. Pierce has always felt was
bad practice, harmful and poor bus
mess policy, if not absolutely wrong.
The Sisters of the Good Shepherd,
