..sPEcULATING SECRETARIES. 4"
How the Clerks of Rich Men Often
Become Wealthy.

From the New YORK Evening Iost
The recent discovery by influential capt.
formed syndicate to act upon information
that passes through their hands. affecting
stock market prices. gives interest this
week to the increasing prominence CT the
private secretary in Wall street finance.
With the growth OF business and the con-
solidation of industrial enterprises the ten
dency of men of affairs has been TO have
their secretaries relieve them OF as much
detail work as possible, often subdividing
secretary ses Special charge OF details connect
cd with four or five different corporations.
This has made II necessary for some capi-
talists to have half a dozen secretaries in
stead of one. as, formerly. OF these, how
ever there Is still q confidential secretary,
to whom is intrusted all private affairs and
strictly confidential matters.
Many OF Wall streets private secretaries
have become wealthy men. maintaining
town and country house with a retinue or
servants. Most of them hevs come oy
their riches In legitimate way, making
profitable investments at tneir employer
suggestion, and often specializing adVan-
tageously in the same way. Some years
ago it was the policy of the officials and
employees of the Standard OH Company,
when they wished to buy or sell any OF the
company's stock, to execute the orders
through the private secretary of one or
the leading officers. This was said
t. have been done on the advice OF John ID.
Rockefeller who thought 1t would prevent
indiscriminate trading. Through shrewd ex-
ecution OF these orders the private secre-
tary was enabled to accumulate a fortune
that was said to exceed S1,0oo,0OO The prac-
tice has since been abandoned. however, as
the looeOoo shares OF Standard OH STOCK
are now in the hands of 5000 different
holders.

Troubles That Caused a Respectable

when l got it began to read 1t from the
first to the last page, as l always do. On
that particular morning as 1 sat in my shirt
sleeves by the open window with my old
friend unfolded before me I met with a
variety of mishaps Now let me say as
preliminary. that I had not been feeling
well for day or two. The heat bothered
me. and. as my wife insisted upon declar-
ing, had been 'gallavantin around in the
snu without an umbrella L had had
headache and was feverish and, I suppose,
irritable.
But Sunday morning I awoke sound and
sane and l sat down to read The Star with
anticipations of my usual pleasure. 1t was
a warm. mucky sort of a morning and the
flies were unusually pestiferous. To guard
against them eating the top of my bald

DEER HUNT IN CEYLoN.

From the London Field
When staying In Ceylon with two friends
on their estate and having heard of the deer
hunting by the natives. we decided to have
a day with them. We consulted the over
seer of the estate, who said he would send
coolies to the different villages in the prov
ince where these native hunters lived to tell
them to bring their hunting dogs as they
called them, and come to the bungalow In
three days time.
On Friday morning early they turned UP.

which was slipped at the deer when the
other dogs had brought It to bay, and either
seized 1t by the throat or ear and held
on till one of the coolies got up and was
able either to stick 1t In the heart with a
long knife which some OF them carried, or
club 1t with heavy stick which we noticed
