Lamb Was Eleeced.

The i'll fortune which has attended the speculative career of very prominent magazine proprietor gives groundwork for a current story in Wall Street. Cos sip has it that after being allowed to make about $700,000 in steel shares he was persuaded to increase his investments to such an extent that he suffered loss of over $2,OoO, 600 in addition to playing back the $700,000 original winnings. Steel, how eyer was not the only good thing he was let into. While the plungng fever was on him he was much in the society of q well known tobacco magnate whose connection with recent cotton specula- tion has given him unpleasant notoriety. This tobacco king told the magazine proprietor that continental tobacco was one of the best things in the street and and that every dollar invested therein would be doubled. There was nothing small about the publisher and he an- nornced his intention of buying 40,0J0 shares. The two remained together until midnight and later. When they separat ed the magazine man said he would go down town the next morning about II o'clock and begin his purchases. The tobacco specialist got an earlier start and was on hand when the literary gentleman commenced taking his load. He got the 4O,000 shares with surprising ease and when he came to have the certificates transferred to his own name he made the discovery that the shares had come from his friend, Strongbox In the unselfish generosity of his heart the magnate had giv en the magazine man al- most his entire holdings at practically the outside quotations ever reached for that particular security The loss on Continental tobacco Is said to have foot ed up oyer $5O0,O0O before the publisher could let go The magazine proprietor, who also had become ambitious to be- come a great journalist has recently cur tailed his activity in many directions. Among other things he has announced that he is ready to retire from the own ership and direction of a New York paper taken over by him some two years ago. His magazine continues to be a gold mine, however, and is represented to be netting $6O0 600 a year. He is giving more time and attention now to the business of getting out his monthly publication than he is to plunging in the stock mar ket or seeking the society of Wall Street touts and decoys.

APPLE DAY AT ST. LOUIS.
Twenty Car Loads of Fruit Will Be
 Given Away.
From the Stockman and Farmer

From the Stockman and Farmer.
 September 27 next will be apple day, at the worlds fair This novel and inter- esting idea originated with MT. John T. Stinson, superintendent of pomology, de- pertinent of agriculture for the worlds fair. He suggested than an "apple day. be named, on which every visitor to the worlds fair should be presented with few eating apples. So 1t comes about that the 27th of September is to be made memorable as apple day" Already the mouths of many thousands of prospect i've fair visitors are beginning to water in anticipation of a treat of the popular fruit Every man. woman and child who attends the exposition on that day is to be presented with three or four fine ap- pies, daintily wrapped in tissue paper, on which will be printed thte local habita- ton and the name of eacn apple. The person eating the apple will enjoy the added pleasure of knowing what kind of apple it is and where it came from.
 This free apple distribution will not be so simple an affair as 1t may seem on the surface September Is one of the golden months for exposition attendance. The management confidently expects to have about 300,00 persons in attendance if the day be bright. Estimating the at tendance at 300,00O and allowing three or four apples to each guest. we have, in round numbers 1,000, GOO apples to be giv- en away
 There 300 apples on an average to a barrel and 150 barrels to a car load. A very little figuring will show that more than twenty car loads of the fruit will be required.
 The object of this distribution of ap- ples, aside from the temporary delight which the feast will afford. Is to promote the interests of the apple as a food The American Apple Growers con gress is engaged In systematic exploit atiop of the apple, to the end that it may be adopted as a regular food, either raw or cooked in any one of hundred ways, for a still greater portion of hu- manty than is using 1t at present The apple Is bidding for the place of the po- tato as a universal edible, and the con- gress hopes to demonstrate it's value as a health food at the worlds fair. In fur therance of this end a considerable quantity of apple literature is to be die- tributed in "apple day. and other days
 The apples to be given away on "apple day. will be chiefly of the Grimes Gold en. Jonathan, Maiden's Blush and Fulton varieties, all of which will be ripe and ready by September 27 There will also be on hand some lots of the Wealthy variety, from the extreme north, which will come from cold storage and the Chenango Strawberry apple will be good to eat at that date.
 Every one eating an apple on that day will be requested, through the literature presented with the fruit, to join the ap- pie consumers league.

Few Foreigners Going West.

In a recent interview MT. Loree presi- dent of the Rock Island, called attention to the character and kind of immgra- ton pouring into the southwest. Of the tens and hundreds of thousands of enter prisng men who are casting their for tunes there, only a small mixture is of the foreign element. At least nine- tenths of the men who are moving into the southwestern states are native Amer- jeans comprising the younger and more enterprising portion of the surplus popu- lation of the middle western and east ern states. These contemplating people are attracted by the splendid lands and cli- mate of the southwest where they can secure farms for ten to twenty-five per cent the cost of acreage in the easr. With the proceeds of one hundred acres of land in Ohio, Pennsylvania or New York four or five times that much ground can be obtained in Kansas, Texas or Arkansas Railroad construction in these sections has gone on rapidly during the past five or six years and millions of acres are brought close to the markets which had previously been too remote for profitable cultivation. There is no section of the United States where de- velopment is progressing more rapidly than in the southwestern states, the great sections tributary to St, Louis and Kansas City being especially favored. The southwest is forging ahead of the northwest now in the matter of increas- ing population and the country is fill ing up and building up at a prodigious rate. The changing and improving condi- tions are reflected in the increased favor given to the securities of railroads oper- ating in that country in investment quarters. The next census will unques- tionably show the largest increase n population in the southwestern states, and the resources of that territory are only beginning to be unfolded. Texas alone is able to take care of a popula- tion of at least25, GOO human beings; Kan sas can easily support three times It's present population, and the same. is true of Missouri, Arkansas and Oklahoma. Indian Territory and Oklahoma combined have a population already of more than 100000 and when consolidated in one state a new impulse will be given that region.

be held at the Metropolitan club on the 18th. The usual dinner will be served.
 Lawrence Waterbury has settled down to the busy life of Wall street, and his ab- sence from the saddle will be great blow to the sport. In a half hours prac- tice game with Larry" Waterbury on the field the young players learned more than in a weeks carless playing among them selves. George Goulds railroad enter prises will keep him out of the game, and Mrs. Gould does not care to have the boys take an active part in the sport.
 Besides. they are busy preparing for school Cinch Smith and Rob Collier have other plans for the summer, and the New port-Narragansett field will be left to Peter Collier. George Norman, Fred AL len and the younger players. The senior Collier will have cottage there as usual. though he has given up the idea of build ing.

handled a mallet since the summer of 1902 Alfred is very enthusiastic and with Reginald Brooks and two of the BurdeD boys will again represent the Westches- ter Polo club of New port. Among oth- CTS who will be in the game there are James NJ. ('.Montle) Waterbury, Jr., Alexander Brown. William E. Carter. George McFadden. w. A. Hazard Rena La Montague. Fred Havemeyer and prob ably ogden Mills. From present indica- tions Peter Martin will remain on the Pacific slope. However with the pos- sibility of a visit from the Duke of Rox- burghe and with unlucky MT. Collier breaking his collar bone periodically there may still be some excitement around the club house on Bateman's Point.

Powerful New Poisonous Drug.

From the Albany Medical Annals.
 Lascellus Scott of England, has recent ly published some startling facts about cyanid of cacody1. It is a white powder. melting at 8 degrees and boiling at 40 degrees. which when exposed to air gives off a slight vapor, to inhale which is death It's effect is so powerful that MT. Scott states that he has seen the one millionth part of a grain of the drug instantly kill four dogs when they were intorduced into an alright cage with 1t. While but little known, it was made many many years ago by noted French chemist Cadet He combined potassium acetate with white arsenic, producing a fuming liquid oxid of cacodyl. This. when combined with cynogen, a radical of prussic acid, produces cynanid of cac- odyl. thousands of times more poisonous than the pure prussic acid.

which has been going on for the last five years and which is hourly increasing in volume. Treasury statisticians give the increase in gold in circulation in the United States as $650, 900, ,000 in seven years About seventy-five per cent. of the total increase of money in circulation has moved up from $23 to $31 in the time mentioned. The tendency of this expan- sion is to put up the prices of securities having variable or speculative value The fact is in really the strongest bull factor in the situation, something that bankers realize very thoroughly and something which is gaining in popular appreciation.

Disappointment Felt.

Disappointment Is felt over the re- port of business conditions througnout the middle west and west. Travelling men for mercantile and manufacturing con- cerns have the same story to tell of slow trade and of reluctant buying in every quarter. There is no lack of money for surplus funds are pouring into New York from every city and town west of the Aileghenies. The trouble Is the preva- lence of trade hesitaney and disposi- tion to postpone commitments This may be only temporary phenomenon, but 1t is certainly an unpleasant feature of ...s3 situation.

Little Interest in Polo

Thus far little enthusiasm has been en- countered in polo circles. Of course the season is a long way off, but the early outlook is anything but encouraging. The older players have been trying to retire for years, but the result has been much like the annual attempt Of Elisha Dyer, Jr.. to abdicate from his position of fa- vorite cotillon leader. The annual meeting e the American Polo association will
