Charles F. Woerishoffer was a brilliant
Stock Exchange operator, who made a
large fortune out of nothing, and then
lost most of it again by overstaying his
market as a bear after the panic of 1884
James r. Keene came to New-York
with several millions, made out of mining
stocks in California, at the time of the
great Bonanza gold discovery at Gold
Hill, when Flood and O'Brien, Mackay
and John p Jones made their millions
But Keene, after adding to his pile, lost
all he had, through Overwhelming his
operations in bulling stocks and grain in
the eighties. However, he got a fresh
start, through being employed by large
interests to manipulate stocks for them,
and is rich again.
Henry n. Smith, former partner Of
lay Gould's, made five or SIX millions
as an operator in stocks, only to lose
them again and die poor
The brief, meteoric Wall Street career
of Ferdinand Ward, who lured General
Grant into forming the firm of Grant &
Ward, is well remembered. He went up
so high that when he came down he
landed in Sing Sing prison.
Fish, president of the Marine Bank, did
the same, after long being in good repute
1t Is unnecessary to dilate on any of
the Vanderbilts or GOulds or Russell Sage
or Henry Keep or Henry Willard OF
William E. Travers, because they had no
conspicuous or overwhelming reverses in
their Wall Street career: but John F.
Tracy, the president of the Rock Island
Railroad, in the sixties, was ruined by
his stock speculations, after being worth
more than five millions, and he had to re-
Iinquish his presidency, u, and died in poverty.
Cyrus w. Field too lost nearly all his
large fortune through overlooking him
self with Manhattan Railway stock; and
Addison Cammack, the " "Ursa Major" of
Wall Street, died worth little in compari-
son with what he had possessed once.

DR. ". Q. COFFEE. 100 Century BLDG. Des Moines, Ia
LIKE ANY OTHER TEA

A LITTLE Western girl visiting Boston
for the first time was told that the
museum actually contained some of the
historic tea that was thrown into Boston
Harbor in 1873.
Nothing else in Massachusetts so appealed
to the little maids imagination, and she
straightway became intensely desirous of
seeing the article that had made so much
trouble and about which she had heard so
much in school. An oblIging uncle under
took to crafty this modest wish, but was
greatly surprised at the outcome.
As the child gazed at the famous relic,
her eyes slowly filled and finally overfowed
with tears.
Why. my dear!' exclaimed the astonished
uncle. What IN the world IS the trouble?"
1t lI-looks just like any other old tea"
sobbed the disappointed little girl.

THE MOMENTOUS QUESTION

MARSHALL P. WILDER recently met a
fl friend whom he began to chaff about a
certain young woman with whom the friend
had been on somewhat intimate terms for
years without apparent progress toward
marriage.
Well how are you two getting on now?"
asked Marshall. Have you plucked up
courage to ask her to marry your"
No, responded the other gloomily. The
fact IS, the affair IS over
I'm sorry TO hear that" said Marshall.
How did the break occur?"
Well, you see," answered the friend.
4" sometime ago l decided TO bring matters
to a Crisis. began by saying that had a
question / wanted to ask her. She tossed
her head and remarked that any fool could
ask questions Then ! got mad and replied
that perhaps it would be just as well to let
some fool ask my question.

How violent the vicissitudes of Wall
Street are at times we may infer easily
when we recall the tremendous convul-
sion produced by the gold conspiracy of
Black Friday" September "a, 1909
which involved thousands in enormous
losses, and caused the Stock Exchange
as well as the Gold Clearing House and
Gold Exchange Bank, to be closed or
when we think of the devastating North
ern Pacific panic of May Q, 1901. OF OF the
far-reaching and long-continued havoc
worked by the panic of 1873.
The memorable failure of Jay Cooke &
Company early in the aforementioned
panic will be recalled by many as vividly
as the collapse of the Ohio Life & Trust
Company, that started the panic of 1857.

OF WALL STREET

Cattle Yards, and was without anv ex-
perience of banking or Stock Exchange
affairs, when he first came into Wall
Street; he never even read newspaper.
His shrewdness enabled him to make
millions by stock speculation and before
long, without knowing anything of the
stock-brokerage business, except as a
customer, he entered into a Stock Ex-
change partnership, that of Drew &
Robinson. For many years this house
was prosperous and prominent, and
Drew, after it was dissolved, said to
a friend who rated him at twenty millions
Il guess sixteen will cover it. -
After that Drew's cunning and sagacitv
seemed gradually to fail him He met
with succession Of disasters, through
bad judgment, but was more liberal than
before in endowing the Drew Theological
Seminary and other Methodist institu-
tions. Yet, instead of giving the endow-
ments in cash, he gave his notes for them,
and paid interest on these. The conse-
quenCe was that when he finally lost
every dollar he had, and was declared a
bankrupt, without any assets, the notes
were worthless. While in this bankrupt
condition, and dependent for a home on
his son, he died, and his death was as un-
noticed as that of any other Wall Street
wreck.

GOOD ADVICE
: To MEMBERS
Governor Tells How to
Avoid Taint of
Graft.

- The members of the Legislature
can gain the confidence of the public
more quickly, can remove any possible
suspicion of graft more effectually, by
adopting rule that vouchers shall ac-
company every warrant drawn by either
house upon the Territorial treasurer, ;
said Governor Carter yesterday.
''It is not necessary for them to
submit their claims to the auditor, if
they do not want to do that. But let
them decline to insist upon putting
themselves entirely above the law,
and the people who make the law. If
vouchers accompany every warrant
that is drawn, if their officers and the
treasurer be instructed by rule of the
houses not to pay out dollar for
which no voucher is presented, the peo
pie will believe that the members of
the Legislature are determined to do
the right thing. 1t will remove even
the faintest hint of suspicion of any
possible wrong-doing.
Now it is, unfortunately, true that
in past times there has been sus-
picion of graft in connection with the
bills incurred by the Legislature of Ha-
waii. Indeed, it might be said with
show of tath that there has been more
than d suspicion. And in view of this
the suggestion of Governor Carter that
the legislative body adopt a rule to
take itself at once out of the class of
the suspect is a suggestion in the line
of good government.

lature who have called on me during

: iff and deputy assessor at Koloa
1t seems to have been the fact that
Rego was led into ''kiting' money
orders by the pressure of debts that
he could not meet His operations will
be likely to do his creditors little good,
because so far as the amount of the
shortage is concerned, namely $27, 1856,
the United States government Will be
the preferred creditor. This is the le-
gal aspect of the case, and is so wef1
understood that in an assignment deed
to all his creditors, filed yesterday,
Rego turns over all his property in
trust to James w. Wakefield, of Theo.
II. Davies & Co, making the govern
ment of the United States the pre-
ferred creditor. 1t is understood that
after the United States, the heaviest
creditor of the accused man is the
firm of T. H. Davies & Co. The proper
ty turned over in the deed is valued at
between $4,000 and 100000.
The story of the operations of Rego,
as it comes out slowly, but becomes
the more remarkable. 1t seems that,
when he would draw a batch of bogus
money orders, he would remit by the
same mail a slightly lesser sum to
Honolulu, claiming at the same time
to be building up the postal money or
der business at the expense of the
banks. BY these plausible letters he
was permitted to go on "kiting' and
" kiting," his deficit meanwhile be-
coming larger and larger until it reach
ed the enormous proportions that it did.

A single county act has at last been
decided upon by the County Act Com
mission, vote to that end being taken
on the harmonized" bill presented
last night at the regular meeting.
Chairman Cooper, Commissioners
Crabbe, Fernandez and Stewart voted
in favor of the bill as it stood, and
Commissioner Watson concurred in Ill
except that the bill restricted the coun-
ties from levying taxes, which he de-
clared to be the fundamental principle
of county government. Take that away
and county government as a term
meant nothing.
The harmonized" bill so passed
will be again revised for minor correc-
tions made, and when ready, final
meeting of the Commissions will be
called, when signatures viii be attach
ed, and the bill formally accepted. The
act will then be forwarded to Governor
Carter, with report thereon written
by Chairman Cooper.
The special committee which brought
in the 'harmonized' bill had used the
printed bills recently distributed in the
city, and presented the following re-
port on the same:
COMMITTEES REPORT.
Your Committee appointed to report
a form of bill has arrived at an agree
ment and presents herewith type
