One of the most important details
in the mechanism of Wall street Ia it's
elaborate system of detective protec-
ton. A very effective dead line has
seen established at Fulton street for
years. beyond which no crook known
to the police nor even a suspicious
looking person is allowed to pass AS
an additional precaution score of
or more OF central office detectives are
constantly on guard at the principal
entrances TO the financial district.
They usually congregate near the

dollars are constantly being carried

Great were the modification and dis
gust Of Balgonie on learning that he was
to remain for an indefinite period in a
place so revolving and uncomfortable, and
with no other society than that of three
military jailers-cruel, hard-hearted and
avaricious Muscovites of the worst kind;
and with these orders died his hopes of
reyisiting, as he intended, Louga, on his
return, and of seeing Natalie again.
Under the ban, as all the household Of
Mierowitz would be now, should he ever
see her more? Every way fate and the
tide Of events seemed to be against him

Fashion Notes.

Spring fabrics blossom in the shops.
Old English embroidery is to have an
all-summer run.
Hyacinthine blue looks well on both
blondes and brunettes.
Some of the new jackets have two
graduated tucks up the back.
Very many evening dresses have long
sleeves, full at the elbow.
Silk lace grenadines in lovely colors
are the most attractive of new fabrics.
The glaring hues OF the Dasturtium
are prominent on early Powered muslins.
The most gorgeous plume Of all is all
red one side the quill and all creamy
yellow the other.
Coats to the linen and pique costumes
vary from the quarter Norfolk to
the very short eton.
It's a comfort to know that walking
skirts at least will be exempt from the
craze for skirt fullness.
Delightful 1880 possibilities hover IN
those soft mulls, lawns and organizes
of which the shops are full.
Evening gowns do not have the lace
falling far enough down to interfere with
the movements of the hand.
A new trimming is a braid which is
made of punched velvet with satin rib

There'll Be Trouble.
She was a travelling mans wife and
she had heard many stories of the
.'doings' of travelling men on the road
Her husband always seemed a model,
but-why did he always leave his grip
at the office when he returned from
trip? She had not seen that grip more
than once In two years. The other day
when the drummer was on a trip to
Buffalo his suspicious little wife visited
the Office. Approaching the porter, she
said:
John, you like to make a dollar hon
estly when you can, don't you?"
"Oh, yes'm."
You know where my husband keeps
his grip, don't your

'Well, look here, John; he will be IL
tomorrow morning, and if you slip his
grip out and bring it up to me I'll give
you dollar. You can bring it back
again in half an hour"
The porter consented, and two 6sys
later presented himself at the drum
mer's residence with the grip in his
hand. He explained that he had not
before had an opportunity to carry It
away. Leaving him in the parlor, the
little woman carried the prize to her
bedroom, and, with teeth set and face
pale, opened it.
The first thing she encountered was

she dug out a soiled shirt, some un-

The wretch she muttered my
suspicious are too well founded.
George Gray! Oh this is too much, too

tears. When she had Gained herself
she tore the letter open and read:
Bath, N. Y, Nov. 81.
Miss Gray-Your note asking me to

She sat down on the bed and sObbed
for a while, then closed the grip. took
it to the porter and asked him to re
turn it to the store and say nothing OF
what had occurred.
As he entered the store the drummer
looked up and asked:

Guess so. She took it into another

COTTON KING is DOWN.
Failure of SILLY Cnuses Wild Panic in
New York Market.


New York Market.
Cotton King Sully has fallen. The
man who emerged from obscurity fifteen
months ago and brought the markets OF
two continents TO his feet announced Fri
day afternoon his inability to meet his
engagements ON the New York Cotton
Exchange. With his fall the bottom
dropped out of the greatest bull market
ever known. Anarchy displaced the mon
archy of the spectacular Daniel j. Sullys
building. "Sully suspendsr Those We're
the words that turned the New York
Cotton Exchange into bedlam, that
carried ruin over the tickers to thou
sands of men dreaming of sudden
wealth. that shot CONSERVATION TO New
Orleans and other cities of the South,
and, speeding under the ocean, made
their vibrations felt in the marts of Iiv-
erpool.
In the New York Cotton Exchange
frenzied men fought until their clothes
literally were torn from their backs. On
the floor of the New Orleans Cotton Elk
change, thousand miles away, the
scene was being repeated. The man re
sponsible for these simultaneous scenes
of disorder was self-imprisoned in a
room on the twenty-third floor of Wall
street Office building.
"My suspension is only temporary
said Mr.. Sully, when seen at his resi-
dence at night. 81 don't care to add
anything to that simple statement, and
shall not have any further statement
to make"
The man who has been such conspic-
uous figure in the worlds cotton market
for many months did nor appear TO be
in the least perturbed over his firms
suspension. He was apparently no more
downcast than he was eXultant not long
ago when the report was that he bad
made several millions through unprece-
dentedly high prices for cotton. APP
parently Mr.. Sully still holds to the be-
lief that his theory about the shortage
of cotton and resultant high prices has
not been overthrown. He would net
discuss the limitations that there might
have been treachery at some point, nor
would he indicate how soon he expected
TO resume operations.
The crash came with the suddenness
and fury OF tornado, for the meteorol-
ogists of the cotton market were unable
TO read the premonitions Of disaster In
the strange barometric conditions OF
the forenoon. Ten minutes after the
opening the market went off half cent
Prices went down--ten, twenty, thirty
points in two minutes, A minute later
they were back where they started.
In stock exchange circles the failure
of Sully was at first taken as a sure sign
of the collapse of the cotton boom. Later
there was some apprehension lest the
failure might bring down a string OF
banking institutions in the South.

The dead boay OF Andrew Swanson
OF Elgin, ILL.,, who formerly resided in

snow drift west Of Kenosha. A piece
OF al old suspender was found about his
neck, while another piece was hanging

son sold large piece of property ten
days ago and at that time woman from

At that time Swanson claimed that he
