Interest In Erie Mystery.

The Erie mystery still interests Wall Street and a demand for light is heard every day in every stock brokerage of- flee and banking house. That the con- trol of that property Is passing or las passed to new and powerful interests is generally believed, but just what these interests are and what they represent is the thing which everybody is trying to find out and which seemingly nobody knows to eertainty-that is nobody outside the principals. The impression is Is growing. however, that the control has lodged definitely with capitalists in com mand of the destinies of New York New Haven and Hartford That feeling is growing and no very great surprise would be occasioned If formal announce ment were to be made of an alliance be- tween these two properties. The Gould party has seemingly failed to to gain the desired ascendancy in Erie, although it may have a voice in the property. There Is also understood to have been parsis- tent buying of Erie securities on a large scale during the recent months for ac- counts of parties friendly to James J. Hill and the Rock Island syndicate, al- though neither of these is believed to have sought control.

The value of the mine and it's stock however, has little to do with the incident As 1t now ap- pears Illicit methods were employed in the fiotation of the securities rnd + would also appear that the funds and credit of the National City bank were em- ployed in support of wretcEej job of bank market riggin. A high officer of the bank figures as one of the sponsors of the scheme and he happened to be in a position to give an unsavory crowd a standing to which 1t was not properly entitled.

These poles however, serve to guide the owner to his cane bunk, but their number would confuse a nocturnal marauder or intruding stranger The rows of poles form. in fact. avenues by which the inmates can guide themselves to any particular spot or object
 The hut, we observe also is divided into two apartments. front and rear, by wall of straight canes. parted in fthe center through which the peasant can survey-himself being unseen-any per son entering. In the rear apartment are hunks arranged round the walls for use of himself and family. Over une doorway of the hut within may be observed a few charms, into whose care and power the peasant commits the guardianship of his house and effects.
 A scarcity of furniture is observable. and the utensils are few in number and of poor quality. Under the former title may be classed a couple of carved stools

Wall Streets Defense.

When the proposition becomes better recognized that Wall street is a great manufactory and emporium for the pro- duction and sale of securities the public may take a more lenient view of some of the methods employed in that quarter for the distribution of the goods. The conclusion may be reached that there Is nothing more reprehensible in tho prao- tice of the various manipulative devices prevalent there than there Is in the printing of full-page advertisements in the newspapers of fire sales of dry goods, sacrifice bargains in overcoats and the like. The trouble Is that people take too seriously many of the stories related of Wall street chicanery. When persons go into stock speculation they do 1t with their eyes open to the chances they take, and 1t is admittedly true that these chances are against the player and In favor of the dealer. the same as in any other gambling game. Where Legitimate investment is sought that is a different thing, and more care is usually taken in the purchase of securities.
