 He Hates New Clothes.
 He personally superlntended the plant ing of the vines and has them grown in eonformance with hls own theories, so his satisfaction Is great when the wine proves good, as he maintains that 1t is only through his care. The pious say it Is be- cause the pope has blessed the grapes. However that may be, 1t is fact that even when other vineyards fail, this par ticular one continues to yield the vines being healthy and strong In really hot weather the pontiff spends the whole day at the summer palace, only returning to sleep at the vatican.
 One wonders if Gioacchino Pecci, choos- ing another career, would have been as frugal and abstemlous as he Is as Leo xIII.-whether he Is so by nature or has deliberately forced himself to to it. once when the claim of some distant needy rel ative was pressed upon him, he said T have nothing"
 But" protested the other, you can dispose of millions and 1 only ask a few thousands"
 You have been misinformed," coldly re- piled the pontiff T entered the vatican poor and thus shall leave it. The mill lions to which you refer belong to the church."
 This has been his constant policy all through his long pontlhcate. His old servant looks out for his robes, taking great pride in the effect which he pro- duces in them. but has a battle royal ev- cry time they have to be renewed. Then the following dialogue takes place:
 Your holiness is without robes"

 But, see, they are threadbare. holy father"
 Nonsense; I see nothing the matter with them"
 But" ends the other in despair, "you look like poor man"

HOW WALL STREET HAS
 GROWN M II3 YEARS

Written for the Evening Star by Sereno
 S. Pratt Associate Editor Wall Street
 Journal.
 The Wall street of today Is the out come of an evolution extending through period of 113 years. That evolution has been in obedience to natural eco- homie laws, which ever seeS to produce the largest results by the most direct ways and methods. Wall street exists because there has been and still is need for the work which 1t performs. It does not, as some people thinks exist because wicked men have created It. as they might establish a great gambling house in defiance of law in order to en- tice the weak and rob them. It has de- veloped rather as a necessary part of the great mechanisI of business. The police can close gambling house with out inficting injury to any legitimate interest but Wall street could not De closed and It's exchanges abolished with out such a blow to the prosperity of the country that one can scarcely realize the havoc that would Be wrought The conduct of modern huslness depends on such facilities as Wall street affords. Every great nation has stock exchange. It is one of the signs of advanced civil izatlon.
 Charles A Conant has aptly said that "thf organized stock and produce mar Lets constitute not only a vital factor in modern exchange. but so far from being a necessary evil, as some ethical writers claim. they constitute one of the most benefcient instruments of modern civilization. Without them modern busi- ness could not be conducted. or could be conducted only with a series of shocks upheavals and convuslons which would result in robbing the manufacturer and consumer for the benefit of the shrewd- est spectators in actual commodities
 Experience of Germany.
 Colin Armstrong, writing along the same lines, says: "A vivid illustration of the injury that a nation may inhict upon itself by attempting to restrict le- gitlmate speculation was furnished by Germany at the close of the last century. It must be admitted that there was some temporary provocation for the action of the agrarlan party In forcing the enact ment of 1896 of the measure restricting dealings in futures in grain In the fol- lowing crop year, the market for wheat being deprived of its usual commercial speculative support by the dissolution of the Berlin produce exchange and similar organizations throughout the German empire. was abnormaly depressed. and farmers sold their products at unprofita- ble prices. Large amounts of bread stuffs were exported at the lowest prices Later in the same crop year domestic scarcity developed and Germany had to purchase from other countries at sharp advance in price fully as much as she had sold. All economic experts agree that had there been a free market for grain in Germany this mistake could not have taken place, nor would the wide fluctuations in prices have occurred. For tunately, the United States escaped ten years ago a catastrophe similar to that which occurred in Germany by defeat- ing the Hatch anti-option bill.'

had a stock exchange in successful oper- ation. In fact the New York brokers were about to establish an exchange sent a committee to Philadelphia to get points regarding its organization A broker named Will Lawton was selected for the mission, because he was just married and wanted to make a wedding trip to Philadelphia. These were the days or the stage coach and the sailing ship. James K Medbury relates that the great news having arrieved from Europe about this time three stock brokers took the first coach to Philadelphia. The coach broke down-the inference was the brok- CTS bribed the driver. They then hired a carriage and urove into Philadelphia three hours ahead of the news. bought up all the stock they could get there. and then sold on the rising prices which re- suited from the publication of the news. 1t would appear from this that there were sharp practices In stock speculation even as long ago as 1S17
 The exchange first met in the Tontine Coffee House, at Wall and Water streets,

 Evoutions in Methods and Size.
 From these small beginnings have grown the money and stock markets of today, whose power is felt around the globe. There has been an evolution in methods as well as a notable expansion in size and power. It was not long be- fore Walf street took the place of Phila- delphia as the chief money center. The downfall of the Second United States bank in 1s42 ended the career of Phila- delphia as the premier city in American finance The creation of new banks and of transportation, canal and other com panes, the building of railroads, and later of telegraph lines the development of the west, the discovery of gold in Call iforna, were all events that vastly in creased the scope of the stock market and widened the field of speculation. The first railroad stock was listed in ls3O and a few years later railroad stocks became the leaders in the market taking the place of bank stocks. Their leadership has continued until this day.
 In 1853 the banks organized a clearing house. In 1863. the national banking act was enacted, an act that has largely aug mented the financial power of Wall street, as well as immeasurab1y increased the prosperity of the country. In 1866, on the completion of the Atlantic cable, London prices were first received daily in New York, and arbitrage trading be- tween the two cities was established. Three years later, on the consolidation of the stock exchange with the open board of brokers, the exchange was en- larged, broadened and liberallzed. taking on the form and adopting most of the methods that exist today. The intro duotion of stock indicators or "tickers" and of telephones added immensely to the facilities.
