HAZING IN WALL STREET.
How Objectionable Persons Are Delb-
 erately Forced To the Wall.
From Appleton's Magazine.

From Appleton's Magazine
 One of the methods employed to get rid of objectionable persons in Wall street who persist in conducting their operations without regard to the plans or wishes of the powers is to Toad them with money" and then call for it's re- payment at inconvenient periods. This is usually accomplished by subtly playing upon the vanity of the intended victim. He is made. an object of fattering atten- ton by important bankers and other peo- pie of consequence of the street. 1t is conveyed to him that his genius is be- coming recognized, and that the really big fellows of the street see nhim truly Napoleonc qualities. He is informed that this bank and that bank and the other bank will be only too glad to eX- tend his credit. The borrowing of money is made very easy for him, and little by little he extends himself. He is consult ed by representatives of the great com- binations, and his judgment is asked on the market. Pleased beyond measure that he should have found recognition in this manner. he generally feels 1t in- cumbent upon him to make good' and further strengthen his position by buy ing huge blocks of some stock for which he may have expressed a preference or into which he has been skillfully steered. He still finds it easy to borrow money from favored banks-until his colaterals are all in.
 Suddenly change in conditions takes place. The temperature falls. Genial warmth and cordality make room for coolness and indifference. The market begins to react. Cavalry charges against the favorites are made by conspicuous market generals. The banks wherein the momentarily distinguished victim has borrowed most of his money call upon him for more margins. He struggles to produce collateral, and when he can go no further he is obliged to reduce his holdings in the market. This process is called compulsory liquidation" Through mysterious channels everybody in the street is advised of what is going on,

PROSPEROUS PLACES

Few people in the United States have any idea of how Mormonism |ransplanted into Mexico is flourish Ing, and it may be said that few Mexi bans even have any conception of the |trength which the Mormons have de- Feloped in their country No adVer- Using marked their advent. The few lozen who moved there a score of Eears ago drove over plain and mesa rom the United States with all their worldly belonging in their prairie Hchooners.

 sraelltes of old had spied out the I and of Canaan little in advance of he main host.

their coming. Out into the very wild erness the Mormon settlers struck and either in the valley lands or in the mountains planted settlements which have since grown with astonishing rapidity. And yet rapid as was the growth it has been a steady, perman- ent increase, due largely of course to the size of the Mormon families as well as to new arrivals. In size the Mormon family holds the record, it being no unusual thing for a Mormon with several wives to have from 20 to 30 children.
 Unless one has business which brings him in contact with the Nor mons in Mexico their importance is not realized. They have seven colon ies and a number of minor settle ments. These seven colonies are Col onia Juarez, Oaxaca, Colonia Diaz, Dublan, Garcia, Chuiohupa and Pach- eco. Perhaps an idea of the prosper ity of these colonies may be gleaned from the fact that there are single stores in them carrying stocks of goods worth $50,000. Among other evidences of prosperity may be emu merated flour mill, tannery, an iron foundry, two lumber mills, fur niture factory, where all kinds of fur niture are made, and shoe factory In Colonia Juarez is an academy which cost $60,000.
 Coming into competition not at all with the natives, the Mormons so far have raised no spirit of antagonism worth mentioning and there is per haps no class of immigrants in all Mexico who get on better with the natives. And as for their being in- terfered with in their practice of poly

gamy that seems to be far from likely A prominent Mexican lawyer remark ed not long ago that settlers were needed too badly in his country for the authorities to quibble about in dustrious immigrants complying with the accepted idea of moral law. In fact, as a colonizing element the Mormons, with their several wives each and their large families are em- inently satisfactory" said he, "and we do not want to notice the fact that in their houses are two or three wom- en to one man. Some day perhaps public opinion will force attention to it, but not yet awhile"
 And this may be said to be the gen. eral feeling among Mexicans. That they are good settlers for the country even their severest critics must ad- init. They are industrious and healthy They do not crowd into the towns, They break ground and culti- vate the soil where no crops were raised before their coming, or they go into the mountains to work saw mills and haul out lumber.
 In the mountain valleys they raise cattle and fruit and garden truck for the mining camps. Were it not for the Mormons, many a camp would have no butter or fresh vegetables daily. Take the cheese industry alone. Outside of the mining camp trade, a single colony dispatches every day to the city of Chihuahua 25O pounds of cheese. At 20 cents a pound, Mexi- can money, this means $50 a day, or about $1S,000 year in Mexican money
 Little is heard of polygamy. Yet it is not uncommon to see q Mormon of 55 or 60 with wife of similar age, the mother of a family and with two other wives. The second wife may be perhaps between 30 and 40 and also the mother of family, while the third wife will probably be the same age as the children of the first 1 According to the Mormon standard the man must be very good to have several wives. It Is necessary for him to be a man of some means, to con i tribute liberally to the church and to stand we'll with the authorities before he can marry again, plural marriage requiring the permission of his bishop.
 Luxuries they may be in way, many wives; but unlike most luxuries Mormon wives are extremely useful. The Mormon women are great work CTS. Frequently a Mormon will have one wife in one colony raising chick ems and fruit for the mines; in anbth CT colony a second wife will be keep ing small store, while third wife In yet another colony will be making cheese, likewise for the mining camps. The wonder is why the women stand 1t.
 In the colony of Paeheco the writer saw an old gray-haired Mormon all spruced up to go "girlin" as they call courting. His three wives were busy making cheese, while he, with f1ow- CT in his buttonhole and arrayed in his Sunday best was paying attention to a buxom lass of 19 The bishop had given his sanction, so 1t was Il sure thing that they would be sealed.

Jewelry as a Christmas Gift.

Unfortunate is the person who
has no one to remember with
gift at the joyous Christmas time
for those who have no one to re-
member have no one to remember
them.
Among the many pretty and
useful things we will have to offer
this year, viii be a carefully Sc
lected assortment Of jewelry, con
sisting of rings, scarf pins, cuff
buttons. neck chains. watch chains,
bracelets, etc. These goods are
solid gold and gold filed. We
carry no plated jewelry as it is not
satisfactory to us or to our GUS
toners. \ plated ring costs SlOO
or SL50 and wears year or two
when the plating wears Off and it
turns the finger black. y solid
ring costing three or four times as
much wears a life time. 1t is easy
to figure out which is the cheapest
in the long run. We guarantee
every piece of Jewelry we sell to
be just as represented. We also
have a good assortment of the eel
ebrated Rogers a l silverware.
Come early ana make your Christ

.SCHMITz ACTS AS MAYOR
CONDUCTS BUSINESS OF THE
CITY FROM PRISON CELL.
Sends Veto Message Of Appropriation
Bill to the Board of Super
visors.

San Francisco, June 24-From his
cell in the county jail, Mayor Schmitz
returned to the board of supervisors
Friday evening the municipal budget
and a message vetoing the appropria-
ton OF $4,000 for the reconstruction
of the Geary street railroad. Schmitz.
besides opposing the appropriation for
the railway, also objected to the levy
of a special tax of 20 cents to raise
revenue for the city government.
Acting-Mayor Gallagher said Friday
night that Schmitz' right to pass upon
the budget was not questioned by the
board.
The first actual clash between
Chief Oman and Acting Mayor Gala
CHER came Friday when Oman fat
footedly refused to recognize Gala
gher's signature as that of the mayor
OF San Francisco. The signature was
on fight permit issued to the Cen
trail Athletic club for a series of six
fourround boxing bouts to be held in
Dreamand rink Friday evening, and
before Oman would allow the doors
to open to the crowd the promoters
of the show had to bring to him
permit signed by Schmitz.
The application Of Schmitz for
writ of habeas corpus and bail was
taken under Amusement by the judges
of the appellate court Friday. Not I'M
til Monday will the judges decide
whether OR not it will give hearing
to the application.
