The bankers who had shaken their heads
and talked about the foolhardiness of bull
ing stocks without treasury relief imme-
diately went into the market and began to
buy up standard railway stocks. Since
then St. Paul has had violent rise, and
other leading stocks like Union Pacific,
Southern Pacific, Louisville & Nashville
Delaware & Hudson. Northern Pacific and
New York Central have scored considerable
advances The speculative community has
again been filled up with bullish stories
about the general prosperity OF the coun-
try increases In railway dividends and
purchases and mergers of railway proper
ties until it would seem that the whole list
of stocks which have advanced so enor-
mously in the past two years are again
on the bargain table.
What does it all mean? The most power
full party in stock speculation is that
known as the Standard Oil party. Chief
among its members are William H. Rookie
Teller, H. H. Rogers, Henry c. Frick. e.
H. Hartman and James Stillman. These
gentlemen and their followers have added
enormously to their fortunes in the past
eight years. AS one of their number says:
1.-The American who has not made a for
tune in the past ten years has only him
self to blame" These men have been be-
hind the advance in stocks that has fol-
lowed the announcement by Secretary
Shaw that he would not come to the relief
of the money market. They took st. Paul
as their leader because Of their ability to
absolutely control in the market the fuctu-
atoms in this railroad stock. The floating
supply of st. Paul in Wall street Is very
small and at times the purchase of a few
thousand shares of 1t In the open market
Is sufficient to advance Its price several
points. where the purchase of five times
as much of a stock so widely distributed as
United States Steel common would not
advance 1t a point. Discovering a large
short interest in st. Paul the Standard OIL
Company party Joined hands and proceeded
to mark up the price merrily at the ex-
pense Of the bears. The bears rushed In
to cover and helped along the advance.
After the advance had gone five or six
points the rank and file of Wall street
began to get bullish on 1t on the strength
of rumors widely circulated Of the purchase
Of the st. Paul by the Southern Pacific
and other wonderful things, more or less
improbable. In the vernacular of Wall
street it is the ticker that talks. When a
on 1t and when 1t Is going up everybody
becomes correspondingly buI1fsh. st. Paul
advanced mysteriously point by point In
creasing at each stage of its advance a

MURDERED HIS SWEETHEART
AS They Stood to Be Married, Then
Shot Himself.

Comfort, Texas, June 27.-In the
presence of the assembled wedding
guests yesterday afternoon at 1870
O'Clock. at the home of his intended
bride, Joe Reinhardt, the man who
was to have been married to her. shot
and instantly killed Miss Ernestine
Kutzer and then shot himself with
probable fatal results.
The tragedy was as terrible as it
was unexpected. The hour for the
ceremony was at hand and the guests
who had been hidden to the festival,
together with the justice of the peace,
Herman Schultz. who was to perform
the ceremony. were assembled in the
parlor of the home of the brides IA
Their, Reinhold Kutzer. one and one
half miles from Comfort.
Young Reinhardt walked into the
room where Miss Kutzer and the
guests were assembled and drew a
pistol from his pocket, leveling it at
his sweetheart. She threw up her
hands as if to ward of the danger and
three shots were fired at her in rapid
succession at close range.
The first bullet entered her heart,
killing her instantly. Reinnardt then
turned the pistol upon himself and
fired two bullets into his own breast.
One Of them entered the left and right
side He was living at a late hour
last night, but was not expected to
survive.
The cause Of the tragedy is not
known. The relations between the
sweethearts have been typical OF low
ers and the marriage was expected to
be happy The theory of the neigh
bors is that the young man was ex-
cited and temporarily irresponsible.

NEW DEVELOPMENTS

is CREATING INTEREST IN THAT

DlcTED FOR KILLING WHITE.

Special to the Herald.
New York, June 27.-The inquest
over Stanford White tomorrow is apt
to be a formal affair Only three wit
nesses are to be called, according to
the present program. A doctor will
describe the wounds, and two wit
nesses will say that Harry Thaw
fired the shots that produced Whites
death.
The case will 90 to the grand jury
Immediately. The proceedings there
will be secret, and the only sensation
expected from there would be a fail
ure to indict Thaw, which the latter's
friends, who are conversant with the
many phases of the dead mans rela-
tons with Mrs. Thaw, assert is not
improbable. Not a friend of Whites
defends his character from attacks
made in connection with women Of the
stage. Thaw's friends are making
public many details which, pieced to-
gether. show his hatred of and his
reasons for wanting to eliminate
White.
Police Inspector Schmidt Berger to-
day said there had been many develop
ments in the case and all were very
favorable to the defendant The
friends Of Thaw say the sight of
White always of late was enough to
completely upset Mrs. Thaw. The
story is that White secured some hold
over the woman while she was Evelyn
Nesbit. a chorus girl, that he made
use of after she married, and that
caused her extreme unhappiness.
Thaw rose this morning at six
thirty, and after eating some rolls and
drinking his coffee, lit a cigar and
read the morning papers.

The meeting was very pathetic. All

A point raised in the petition is that
the order is an individual act of Com

This litigation is viewed as being very
expensive, and if it goes against the

and investigating mind, an earnest
seeker after knowledge, and above
all, possessed of wonderfully sympa-
thetic nature.
In 1S43 she married Isaac Pinkham,
a builder and real estate operator. and
their early married life was marked by
prosperity and happiness. They had
four children, three sons and a
daughter.
In those good old fashioned days it
was common for mothers to make
their own home medicines from roots
and herbs, natures own remedies
calling in physician only in specially
urgent cases. BY tradition and eX-
perience many of them gained a won
derful knowledge of the curative prop
critics of the various roots and herbs.
Mrs. Pinl<ham took a great interest
in the study of roots and herbs, their
characteristics and power over disease.
She maintained that just as nature SO
beautifully provides in the harvest
fields and orchards vegetable foods of
all kinds; 50, if we but take the pains
to find them, in the roots and herbs
of the field there are remedies eX-
pressIy designed to cure the various
ills and weaknesses of the body, and
it was her pleasure to search these out,
and prepare simple ana e11ectlVe medl-
cines for her own family and friends.
Chief of these was a rare combina-
ton of the choicest medicinal roots
and herbs found best adapted for the
cure of the ills and weaknesses pecu-
liar to the female sex, and Lydia f. Pink
hams friends and neighbors learned
that her compound relieved and cured
and it became quite popular among
them.
All this SO far was done freely. with
out money and without price, as a
labor of love.
But in 1873 the financial crisis struck
Lynn. Its length and severity were too
much for the large real estate interests
of the Pinkham family, as this class
of business suffered most from
fearful depression, so when the Centen-
NAL year dawned it found their prop
erty swept away. Some other source
of income had to be found.
At this point Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegeta BILE Compound was made known
to the world.

with their mother, com bined forces to

II was then and there that Anthony
COmStock became an institution. That

Suppression Of Vice was not organized

became so deeply interested in running
down the publishers and vendors of
bad books and pictures that lie forgot
all about his ambition to become a
great merchant. The publicity result
ing from his work as IL self constituted
censor of public morals attracted the
attention of influential citizens. who
felt that there was great need for such
work. They raised funds created the
society and put Comstock on salary.

incidentally this latest arrest and
couiScation brought down upon the
head of COmStock a storm of abuse
and vituperation and scOrn. But he is
used To that and apparently doesn't
mind it. Probably no man living has
been the target of so many shafts of
abuse as have been shot at Anthony

He has been under fire Il third of u
