Wall Street Disappointed at

After Publication.

NEW YORK. Nov. lO-The stock
market experienced another reaction
during the first hour. but il must be
said that in view OF the money strin-
Fencv prices on the stock exchange held
very well. The opening quotations
showed fractional declines virtually
throughout the list and subsequently,
the initial losses were increased. The
main topic OF interest and discussion
was naturally the bank returns. \ poor

The suggestion that the several pri-

done with the savings banks, does not

In the majority of cases the banking
feature is merely an adjunct and is
kept largely for the accommodation OF
those who engage with them in the real

The title of banker is much abused

WOMAN PLUNGER FAILS

NEW YORK. Nov. 1G.-The story of a
young womau's experience in Wall
Street during the Northern Pacific pan
ic OF May 1901. when she entered into
speculation with 100 shares OF Union Pa
cific stock. was made public when JUS
tice Clinch and a jury. in the supreme
court. heard testimony at the trial Of a
suit which resulted from the young wU-
vans alleged failure TO make good mar
gins.
The woman defendant in the case was
Mrs Evelyn AicManus. formerly tho
wife of Augustus Cook. an actor, and a
daughter OF William Hall. a prosperous
dealer in building materials. Mrs. Nc
Manus secured an absolute divorce from
Cook several years ago, and was subse-
quentiy married To Charles MeManus,
real estate dealer. with whom she lives
at the Hotel Grenoble.
Mrs. MacManus appeared in court and
defended a suit brought against her by
her former brokers, Harris & Hutton. TO
recover some 5000 which, they assert,
they lost when Mrs. McManus failed to
put up margins. and they had to sell
l1er stock at loss.

MONEY STRINGENCy

Relief Can Only Come From Bank of
France and the United
States Treasury.

NEW YORK. Nov. 1o.-Relief for the
world wide stringency of money can
come only from two places: namely, the
Bank of France and the United States
Treasury.
The Bank of France is amply able TO
spare a considerable amount OF gold
and ought to do so to relieve the neces-
stiles of the Bank of England. The ex-
pectation is that this will be done.
The United States Treasury contains

CITY HOSPITAL

Il s
Minnie Mcdonald shot herself in the
left breast last night and Is now In
the City hospital Minnie thought
that she would be dead easy 50 she
used twenty-five shot. She failed In
her judgment.
The young girl was spending the
evening in drunken debauchery with a
man named Murphy. who is now in
Jail awaiting derelopmens.
Sheriff Furbee was notified OF the
shooting and hurried to the scene. DE-.
Henry was summoned. Minnie was
taken home and later she was remov-
ed to the City hospital, where She Is
resting easy this afternoon
DR. Henry was seen this morning
and said that the wound should no.
prove fatal. and unless pneumonia set
in the chances of AIinnie's recovery
We're favorable
The girl says that She fired the shot
herself. but Dr. Henry is OF a different
opinion. he says that it would be
impossible for her to get the pistol
in a position to shoot herself in the
way that she was wounded
There was rumor on the street
for while to-day that Minnie was
dead. but it proved to be false
