AS to Wrinkles.

From the New York Press. as
A child, critically looking at cadaver-

of infancy: "Oh, dear, how fat you must
have been at some time of your lifer.
why so, my little friend?" he asked.
Because you have so many wrinkles

with the employments of active life; hence
the proverb. This thickening of the arte-

ness of their caliber, causing a poorer
blood supply to the brain, is one of tho
chief reasons for mental feebleness in old
age.

conductor in full uniform of shirt

apparently the only men at work in
the factories were the engineers, busy
working variations on the noon whistle.

Leading Question That is Asked
in Wall Street
WAS RICH MANS MARKET
Insiders Got Away With the Big Haul,
Hartman Defends His Tactics.
RockefeIers Got a Share

BY w. G. NICHOLAS.

New York. August 25.-(SpeciaD. WHO
made the money on the sensational rise IN
the Hartman Pacifics?" is the question
one hears every minute of the day in
and around Wall street, for the incident
continues to be one of live gossip interest
and threatens to remain IN the news class
for many a long day. It was rleh
mans market" and the names OF known
winners, outside of the speculative diree-
tors and the little clique of sure-thing
gamblers identified with the National CITY
Bank and Kuhn, Loeb & Co. can De

strictly gambling profits raked In by TINS
comparatively small coterie OF insiders
may amount to S25,000,0e0 to $3OOOO,OOO.
Measured by the quotations established
on the stock exchange, Union Pacihe
common benefited $sO0OO,oOO by the rise,
and Southern Pacific common $60,0OOOOO-
a total of s140,OOO,OOO. The great bulk of
profit goes Just where 1t rightfully be-
longs-to the stockholders Of the two
companies directly concerned The new
born bullishness in the general market
reflects a widely prevailing feeling that
majority of the other important rall-
road systems must presently adopt like
policy Of enlarged dividend distribution,
which their earnings and the business
conditions of the country would seem TO
amply warrant.
| It wasn't what Hartman did, but the
way he did 1t that set Wall street by tire
ears and gave the purists chance to
kick The mere fact that the tape was
slow getting into sympathy with the
moralists does not in the least feaze them.
To fail of immediate recognition Is one
of the painful pleasures OF moraahty
preachers in and out of Wall street Just
now they are complaining that Hartman
dealt the cards from the bottom and the
middle, and from every place except from
1 the top, and that he was guilty or one
of the most bare-faced pieces of stock
market rigging" ever perpetrated. To
the indictment of neglect to take the
public the tape players, the bucket shops
and the rank and file OF plungers ana
mixers into his confidence before spring
| ing his great surprise he will probably
cheerfully plead guilty. To the charge
that ANYBODY was hurt who Is entitled
! TO consideration he enters scornful de-
NAL. Surely there has been no wall or
distress from the great body of Union
Pacific and Southern Pacific stockholders
whose income was nearly doubled in the
one case and jumped from nothing to
| 81 0O0O00 in the other To be sure the
| 25 600. 900 shareholders (be they more or
less) were not taken IN on the Wall street
end of the play, but on the other hand,
they are not supposed to be interested
/ in the big gamble, and in any event. they
are Immensely the gamer. If they are
/ dissatisfied with the management they
| can sell their shares for more money
than ever before. To that extent, and for
that situation, they are indebted to Mr..
Hartman.

Readers of this column during the last
four or five years will testify that the
writer's bears Mr.. Hartman no overflow

their contracts at a profit oh, yes; the

properly braced to support the immense
weight. When the tank fell it did not
