CAME A WOMAN.

In my suite in the Textile building, !
just off the big main room with the
blackboards and tickers, I had a small
office in which / spent a good deal
Of time during Stock Exchange hours. J
1t was there that Sam Ellersby found
me the next day but one after my talk
with Roebuck. I
81 want you to sell hat Steel Com
mon, Matt" said he.
It'll go several points higher" sale
I. Better let me hold it and use my
Judgment or selling"
"I need money-right away" was his
answer.
That's all right" said I. Let me
give you an order for what you need"
THANK you, thank YOU said he so
promptly that I knew 1 had done what
he had been hoping for, probably count
ing on.
/ give this incident to show what our
relations were. He was a young fellow
Of good family, to whom l a taken a
liking. He was a lazy dog, and as out
of place in business as q cat in a choir.
| l had been keeping him going for four
years at that time, by giving him tips
on stocks and protecting him against
loss. This purely out Of good nature
and liking; for I hadn't the remotest
idea he could ever be of use to me be-
yond helping to liven things up at a
dinner OF late supper, or down in the
| country, or on the yacht. In fact, his
| principal use to me was that he knew
how to beat the box" we'll enough to
| shake fairly good music out of it-and
l am so fond of music that l can fill in
with my imagination when the per-
former isn't too pad
They nave charged that I deliberate
ly ruined him. Ruined! The first time
J / gave him a tip-and that was the sec
! ond or third time I ever saw him-he
burst into tears and said: you've
saved my life, Blackjack. I'll never tell
you how much this windfall means to
me now" Nor did I with deep and
dark design keep him along on the
ragged edge. He kept himself there.
How could ] build up such a man with
his hundred ways Of wasting money,
including throwing it away or his own
opinions of stocks-for he would gam
BILE on his own account in the bucket
shops, though l had shown him that
the Wall street game is played always
| with marked cards, and that the only
hope of winning is to get the conf
dence Of the card-makers, unless you
are big enough to become a card-mak-
er yourself.
AS soon as he got the money from
my teller that day, he was rushing
away. / followed him to the door
the sidewalk, for the convenience OF
my crowds Of customers. I'm Just
going to lunch." said /. Come with
me-"
He ooked unea2ily toward a smart
little ~one-horse brougham at the curb.
"Sorry-but / can't" said he. I've my

Girl a Member Of a Stock Exchange.

From the Memphis News-Scimitar.
Miss Leah Klein, aged IL. who cast a
vote in the Merchants exchange election
this week, Is perhaps the only woman
member of an exchange in the United
States. if not in the world. She represents
a Chicago grain ompany She gees on
change and buys and sells with as much
ease and composure as the Oldest veterans,
and her enture are generally successful.
Miss Klein came into prominence with
the exchange recently. A grain company
called its manager to Chicago some time
ago and left Miss Klein temporarily in
charge. Another manager was to have
been sent to take the place of the former
one, but so well did Miss Klein perform
her duties that the company has failed to
send another man. and she is now the
general manager
The members Of the exchange became
aware OF the fact that Miss Klein would
cast a vote for her company and prepared
for it. As soon as she had voted and was
ready to leave the hall a committee COM
/ posed OF H. b. Sculss n T. B. Andrews
escorted Miss Klein to the stand, and
President Harry r. Johnson presented her
! with q diamond ring.

Plans of Federal Officials in Rebate
Cases ReUeaIcd.

Cleveland. July S.-Federal officials announced
to-day that G. ]. Grammar. traffic manager of
the New York Central lines west of Buffalo,
would not be called as a witness before the
grand jury which meets tomorrow TO begin
the work of ferreting out viOlators of the inter-
state commerce and anti-rebate laws.
The decision not to call Grammar, who had
been served with a subpoena, was reached at
conference between Oliver c. Pagin, special rep
rCsentative of the Department of Justice United
States District Attorney Sullivan and his assist
ants to-day.
The announcement that Grammar would not
be called was accompanied with the assertion
that the government would not be put in a posi-
tiog where any high railway official could claim
immunity from prosecution on the part Of the
government because he had been compelled to
give testimony before the grand jury
Captain Grammar left Chicago last night for
this city. 1t is said that he had not been ad-
vis2d that he would not be called as a witness.
Service was obtained to-day on N H. Anspach
head of the tariff and schedule bureau OF the
Lake Shore Railway. Anspach will be asked
70 bring tariff sheets running back a number of
years.
The action of to-day reveals definitely the
plans of the government officials strike at
some of the biggest and most influential rail-
road men in the country. All of the plans for
the session of the grand jury We're reviewed in
minute detail by the government attorneys.
