The Two Wall Streets,

From Harper's Weekly.
 There are two Wall streets One stands for capital-the essential partner of in- dustry and intelligence in material prog ress; the other signifies speculation pure and simple. Ordinarily persons residing far from the money-mart mean the latter when the speak of Wall street, and when stocks go down they are prone to mani- fest glee over the notion that only the detested speculators have suffered. As matter of fact 1t is this self-same detest ed speculator and none other who profits from such a market as we have had since the President inaugurated his policy of unceasing and indiscriminate assault upon corporate properties. The average trader in stocks Is bear almost always, quick to perceive and interruptions in making the most of depressing facts and distress ing rumors. TO him the President has been a godsend; instead of losing, he has made money; that is one reason why there have been no failures of stock brokers despite a shrinkage in values amounting to three thousand millions of dalars. It Is the speculating public that is always bullish, that always buys for a rise, never hardly sells for decline, and generally winds up by paying tho piper
 Some of our countrymen seem to think that the speculator who lives near Wall street and sells stocks is worse than the speculator who lives in Podunk and buys them; but we are unable to perceive a marked difference. It Is poor business, anyway for healthy man to be engaged in, making no extra blade of grass grow, and only too often demorallzing the in dvidual. But there is no use of splitting hairs over the relative deserts of town and country speculators let 'em gamble if they want to, and take the conse- quences
 It Is the other Wall street whose hurt is serious-the Wall street of real money seeking or evading investment. making refusing to make the mare go, ex- tending refusing to extend a helping hand to legitimate enterprise according as 1t has faith or distrust Nobody needs to be told what the present condition is. That Wall street.-the important Wall street-the Wall street that comprises the millions of people between Maine and California, who have money invested or saved up to be invested has been scared out of its boots by the Presidents re- peated threats to break down railroads and break up industries, and won't play;

- NEW MONEY PRINCE.
Charles M. Pratt, Secretary of Stand
 dard Looks Like Clerk.
From the New York American.

From the New York American.
 Wall street bows to a new money prince this morning, c. NJ. Pratt comes into his own.
 Who is he? Officially he is secretary of tho Standard oil company of New Jersey. Otherwise, he is the son of the late Charles H. Pratt of Standard oil fame, who pinned his faith to John D. Rockefeller and joined" when the oil Trust stock was young
 Result: The interesting disclosure was made yesterday, when that chapter of surprises was sprung at the oil inVesti- gaton in the shape of the list of stock holders of the Standard of New Jersey that the estate of Charles Fl. Pratt owns 52,5S2 shares of the stock, while Charles M. Pratt individually owns 5000 shares more.
 Added together these 57,5s2 shares of Standard OH stock make the Pratt fam fly of which Charles NJ. Pratt is now the head, rank next to the Rockefeller in terest itself in the councils of Standard OH. Tn other words. C. M. Pratt is the man who yields. with accrued dividends and interest, about s5 ,000 worth of interest in Standard Oil which ought to entitle him to entrance into the charmed circle.
 Prince Pratt isn't the sort of man who will leap into the center of the ring and erapple with the manipulators The best proof of this Is that he has con- trolled this bundle of stock all along and has gone about his business tike an SIS clerk.
 With all his millions and power he goes through the bridge crush every morning being a resident of the borough over the way. A small frail looking man, with a pale face, gray yellowish hair, slight light mustache, and a serious, not to say careworn. face. he would be much more readily taken for clerk in the service than the controller of the second largest interest in the works
 As witness hostile. of course for the Government in the present action, he was chiefly remarkable for the things which he couldn't remember It was fascinating to watch him. There was an air of meeknes about him. of tlmidity, even of crushed spirit and willingness to obige, that was complete foil to the wild western directness of Kellogg's ex- animation.

was q young woman whose success in this field has created a demand among some of the leading publishers. She IS Miss Mary Glow of New York, and she illumnates' her own verse or prose. She is exceptionally gifted, brilliant, humor ous and poetic. and her work is greatly appreciated In the South Hampton art set and by artists generally To those of his pupils who did not compose as readily as Miss Low, Mr. Fry required them to H. lumine' verse from the poets or little gems of thought in prose.
 "The village of South Hampton is in teresting in many ways. IL is the home of a summer colony of wealthy New Workers, who have their summer villas there and it has long been a favored section for smart society. And this may probably account for the fashionable art colony there.
 MT Chase had for many years studio and sumer home at South Hamp- ton. He made the Shinnecock hills ia nous by his frequent sketches. All that is over His beautiful studio is now oc- cupied by a Pittsburg multi millionaire who has transformed it into a charming summer home. It is filled with surious and articles of great value brought from this and other cllmes
 Many of the students live in the farm houses near the village. They have the advantage of the parrish library and art museum, a beautiful building, it's win dows looking out upon perfectly kept lawns and gardens, a serene and lovely spot It Is rather surprising 10 find In so small village a museum of art swhen in some of the larger cities no at tempt has been made tohave a gallery.
 Summer life at South Hampton with it's beautiful villas, it's quaint farm houses filled with artists, the studios at Way side, the many students sketching in the open, it's charming art lift its Sluseum, draws there year after year the best known watercolor artists and ceramic workers
 Mrs. Raulston has some exceedingly in- terestng porcelains that she decorated while at South Hampton. Every year the world of literature. of art, of drama. waits for the new note to be struck The ceramic world has been startled by a new note in decorative art. It Is seen Tn some of Mrs. Raulstons porcelains-wh Is called the spirit of ancient design. Other examples of her work are sug- gestive of her deicacy of touch, and what is unmistakable her fidelity to art principles. She is a most conscientous artist. Her work has the rare qualities of Individuality and artistic interpreta- ton.

LITTLE SKETCHES OF ART LIFE IN THE VILLAGES
 OF SOUTH HAMPTON ON STORED LONG ISLAND

N the summer art colony at South
 Hampton, Long Island, Birmingham was represented by one of the best known ceramic workers, Mrs. J. B. Raul ston, who was in the classes of MT Mar shall Fry. In the little sketches accom- panying this article will bee seen a group of interesting South Hampton views. Of special interest is "Waysiden the sum mer home of MT. Fry. It is near the vil- lage of South Hampton and MT. Fry utilizes many of the rooms for his work. The entire first floor is like big studio. Even the barns at Wayside have been converted into studios. The lawns are rendered more picturesque by students grouped her and there sketching the house and the charming views about it.
 "A delightful feature of the work Is that so much of it is done out of doors, said Mrs. Raulston. There were many visits to the dunes, to the loveliest of boys and the varied points of interest in stored Long Island when sketches were made in oil, water color and charcoal, the last being the preferred medium for quick work"
 eln MT. Frys classes" she continued, there were some fifty students from all parts of the United States, some of them accomplished artists In their line of work The aim of the Class was to cultivate ap- preciation of the beautiful and creative ability and to learn to apply the prn- ciples of composition and design the cera- mics.
 Getting away from the lazy copying habit into the development of something original is the aim of the ceramic worker not only as regards her own artistic growth but of those who work under her Apply their own designs in their decorative work, aiming at some creative ability, instead of tagging mentally, and degenerating through d lack of iniatlve, seemed to animate all the work done with MT. Fry.
 'He is aiming for the original work. not that which reflects the creative power of another. Artists who study with him are made to feel the absolute ne- eessity of learning to apply principles of composition to ceramics before your work can amount to anything.
 "Some of the present tendencies in cera- mis decoration are done in the spirit of ancient design. It is not what might be called a revival of the antique, but into the art principles has crept that mystic spirit of the ages
 Some of the water colorists are also striking outg for original work in H. lustrative' illumining' selections of prose and poetry. In MT. Fry's classes
