FINANCIAL GIANTS.
How They Are Arrayed Against Each other in
Wall Street
By w. G. NICHOLAS.

days. This will bring the rise up to
within couple of months of the ma
tional conventions of the parties. Finan-
clal conditions give encouragement to
this theory. Money promises to be
plenty in the ccnUers, particularly in
New York. There is almost a complete
stoppage of new enterprises and funds
are piling up. This foreshadows a sea-
son of cheap money, which will enable
railroads and other solvent corporations
to secure such cash as they may need
for financing purposes and to complete
Improvements under way upon which
work may have been temporarily stop
ped. 1t will also make several re-
funding operations which are now in
state of suspense.
The year is ending with extreme
dizziness in the financial district. The
trading on the Stock Exchange is al
most entirely professional and the
commission and brokerage houses re-
port a continued absence of public in
quiry. AT the same time steady alb
sorption of good securities is going on
and the speculative issues are finding
moderate favor with those who are
in a position to take that kind of risks.
There are many inviting stocks at cur
rent range of prices in the non-divi-
dend paying class and these issues are
never without friends. The properties
upon which they are based are of the
substantial growing kind and the out
come is reasonably certain, although
the duration between now and dividend
days is prOblematical, more or less.
Among the low priced stocks which
have a future may be classed Erie,
Reading, Rock Island, Southern Pacific
and Southern Railway.
The impression has been cultivated
for years that Mr.. John D. Rookie
Teller was utterly and absolutely in
different to criticism and that he did
not care what might appear in print,
either for or against him. This is a
mistake. Instead Of being Indifferent
he is extremely sensitive. For in
stance, he was grievously hurt by Miss
TarbelPs story in McClure's Magazine
of the evolution of the Standard Oil
Company and the development of the
private fortunes of the organizers of
the concern. 1t is related that during
his visit to California last spring he
talked to number of chance ac-
quaintances on the golf links and to
them complained bitterly on every &C.
casion they would listen to him of the
injustice of the attacks" upon his
character as he was accustomed to
speak of the article. The subject ap-
peared to be constantly on his mind
and it gave him a great deal of worry
There are few men of large affairs who
are unmindful of newspaper or maya
zine publicity and whose skins are so
thick that it can be truthfully said of
them that they are Indifferent to pub
lie opinion. 1t not infrequently oc-
ours that monumental figures in
finance as well as in politics are given
surfeit of adulation and grow to be-
heVe themselves Indifferent. But let
the current of opinion change, what
an eye opening there is. There have
been several conspicuous instances of
this kind in Wall street during the
last two years, and men who believe
themselves proof against newspaper
comment and immune against hurts
have had sad awakenings.

BEAL CUT BY MARTIN.
DrOthers-in-Lnw in n Bloody ARRAY
at Condor.


Dublin, Ga, Dec. 26.-This morning
at Condor, four miles from Dublin.
Mr.. Wiley Martin, a resident of Dub
lin, severely cut Mr.. Fred d. Beal.
postmaster at Condor. Martin and Beal
are brothers-in-law. The latter inter
fered with the former in a settlement
with a third party and Martin called
Beal liar. Beal struck Martin twice.
Martin said to Beal: you will have
to answer to the courts for striking
an old man like me-" Beal became very
much enraged at this, and struck Mar
tin with a pole, breaking it over his
head.
Martin then pulled out his knife and
cut Beal five or six times, only one
stab being dangerous, however. This
cut is just under the heart. Several
physicians were called to Beal. They
say that he will recover.
Beal is very prominently connected
over the state. Martin is one of the
wealthiest men in the county. Real
is very sociable and clever when sober
but quarrelsome while drinking.

SHERIFFF'S PRISONER.
The Goodness of Tiris, However,

The Goodness of TiIIis, However,
Thwartcd the Mob at Barlow
Barlow, Fla, Dec. 26.-Thursday
night, shortly after dark, about TWEEN
ty-five or thirty armed men marched
into this city, and for time 1t was
thought they would make deter
mined effort to get Berry Henry, the
negro who is in Jail, supposed to be
the one wanted for shooting Col. and
Mrs. John Beatty Thursday morning.
But for the GOODNESS and the logged
determination of Polk county's sheriff,
]. D. Tillis, it is more than likely that
they would have made a raid on the
Jail. With guns almost pointed in
the officers face, they told him to get
out of the way and let them have the
negro; but he very coolly told them
that if they advanced a little closer
they would do so at their peril.
The mob finally dispersed, being as
sured that. the negro would be taken
before Col. Beatty for identification at
the earliest possible moment.
There is pretty strong circumstantial
evidence against the negro. His gun
is ten-bore, and some of the shells
found in his possession carry the same
size shot as that fired at Col. Beatty
and wife. City Marshal Childs went
to the place where the shooting oc-
Cured, and picked up from among
the palmetto bushes pieces of the
wadding used in the gun with which
the almost fatal shooting was done,
and it fits exactly with the wadding
found in the shells in Henry's posses
sion. His foot is the same size as the
track leading directly from the place
of the shooting to his home.
Henry was spirited to Tampa last
night. The sheriff, fearing another at
tempt to lynch him. officers drove to
Pridgen with the negro, where they
boarded the train for Tampa.

Presidential candidates and national
politics are becoming increasingly inn
portant factors entering into specula-
tive calculations. The Wall street at
titude towards President Roosevelt is
far from being friendly, although it
has dawned upon the rank and file of
the population of the financial district
that there is small likelihood of his de-
feat for the nomination. That puts
them up to the ballot box, and there is
lively figuring for a desirable opposl-
ton candidate. The recognized mouth
pieces in New York and Chicago of
the Cleveland wing of the Democratic
party are giving open support to the
candidacy of Judge Parker, and they
are openly antagonistic to Senator Cor
man, who appears to be the favorite
of the politicians. The frank statement
is made by those who have the right
to speak for Mr.. Cleveland and his
followers that inasmuch as they will
be called upon to supply the campaign
fund they will expect to have their say
In the convention. This announcement
is so phrased as to carry with a covert
intimation that if they are not given a
commanding voice in the selection of a
candidate and the framing of a plat
form they will shut their cheque books
against the canvassers for funds. They
have given il out Enthusiastically that if
Mr.. Roosevelt should receive the Re-
publican nomination they will be glad
10 get back into the fold. On this point
there can be no chance for doubt, ac-
cording to Wall street philosophy. Pre-
sented with the alternative of Roose-
welt or a safe man" as a Democratic
candidate, IL is assumed that a large
proportion Of the Cleveland Democrats
who voted for Mckinley and sound
money Will get back into line and re-
connect with their former political as
sociations. This sort Of discussion is
disturbing influence in the stock mar
ket, and IL likely to so continue until
after the nomination and possibly un-
I'll after the election, ten months hence.

She had been ailing for two weeks, but

in good health, on her way TO the
Coast, accompanied by her sister, fif-
teen years old, for the purpose of at
tending Notre Dame College at San
Jose. Three or four days ago the gir.
was attacked with an aggravated case
of appendicitis, and despite all the eff
forts of DR.. Clark, ships surgeon she
sank rapidly and passed away Sunday
night. Her death cast a gloom over
all the other passengers, whose SYM
pathy was extended to the sorrowing
sister of the deceased. She was a
daughter of August Dreier. a WELL
known planter of the Hawaiian islands
The body was brought to port and will

A BADGE FOR
CHIEF THURSTON

Fire Chief Thurston was presented
with a handsome gold badge, showing
his rank, by the members of the Homo
lGiu Fire Department last evening. Tt,
chief was called to the library at Cen
trail Station a little before eight o'clock
with a request that he settle an argu-
ment then in progress. He found all
the men from the central station gath
cred there as we'll as representatives
tricts.
AS he entered. Assistant Chief A G..
Deering stepped forward with a pack
age in his hand. AS he undid the
wrappings and handed Mr.. Thurston
the heavy gold badge, he told him how
much his men loved and esteemed him.
Mr.. Deering said:
''ln token of friendship AMI the high
esteem, in which we hold you we, the
members of the Honolulu Fire Depart
ment, herewith present you with this
token of remembrance, which we trust
will be worn by you, and ever as a re-
minder of the high regard in which we
hold you. Coming as it does, from the
Honolulu Fire Department collectively,
we trust that you will recognize that
individually, each member of the de-
partment considers you worthy of the
highest compliment that we can pay
you. And now, as 1 pin on this token
of our warmest friendship, we hope
that you will ever wear it, in kind re-
re; EbCrance of our aloha and best
wishes"
Mr.. Thurston was much overcome
but responded briefly, thanking the
men for the kind expression of their
esteem and also complimenting them
on the assistance they had always Civ
en- him.
The badge is truly beautiful piece
of work. 1t is of massive gold, studded
with diamonds. On the front is an
eagle to which is suspended a shield
upon which is engraved five trumpets,
the insignia of Mr.. Thurston's rank.
In the center is a large diamond. The
letters Chief. H. F. d. are engraved
upon the front. On the reverse is en-
graved Presented to Chas. H. Thurs
