OUR NEW YORK LETTER

should De at your place now; it won't be long before they arrive. How is Mir. Carnegie todaye Good. I'm glad to hear it. Yes, thank you. All right, z 9od-bye.1 One of the customers N.o had been wait ing for the proprietor to wait upon her while lie was busy With Mrs. Carnegie. said sarcastieallv to woman who stood by her side:
 That makes me tired. every time that man gets q store full Of GUS toners, as ha frequently does at this time of day. he always has q
 call from some wealthy person in the neighborhoo No, of course they don't trade hcre-that's what
 am getting at They are fake calls, and he never talks to those Whose names l . speaks so loudly.
 Why does he G5 ito suppose fl is to make his patrons think that the sWellest persons in this part of town buy at his store.
 The greatest sensation is d finan- clal way that the street has had for some time has been the retirement of John w. Gates and his son from Wall street. The pair were al- ways generous, no other speculators being exactly like them. The house always dealt in large amounts and losses and gains were marked by high figures. John w. Gates be- came known in financial circles as man who was ready to take any
 kind of risks, and from his came the phrase, "bet million" He has been an unhealthy influence, dis turbing to an alarming degree at times, and apparently guided with an utter lack of principle. The house has always been noted for it's extreme bids in the market and Wall street was quite ready to be- lieye, although Gates & Co.,, might have been heavily loaded up with stocks during the high prices of the market and fall of 1906, that they had taken the opportunity to switch during the last month. Those who held the belief that the Gates crowd had been heavy losers so far as to fix the amount of their losses at $6.00O,000. The operations Of the firm have been of first magnitude, and it has not been un- usual for the house to carry at times over s100,000, ,00O in stocks.
 The principal actor in a pretty little romance that began some years ago in the sleepy old town of Exford, England, and has ended here with wedding, arrived here on the steamer Celtic, after a journey of more than 10000 miles, About six years ago Morris Alex ander was a student at Oxford. Prof. Schechter, his wife and pretty daughter, Ruth, lived near the university. Young Alexander and the girl fell in love with each other, but as he could not support a wife at that tune, it was decided the pair should wait until Alexander should establish himself. After fin ishing his course at Oxford he went to South Africa to make his for tune. The woman promised to wait for him. That was six years ago. Meanwhile Prof. Schechter left the university and came to New York as president of the Jewish Theo- logical seminary in East One-hun- dredth street. The young man worked hard, and was soon made a member of the Cape Town mu- nfcipal council. Then he became an

Prominent Visitor With Tren-

Wilmington Streets
JOINS THE BUNION BRIGADE

William J. Crossley, prosecutor Of
pleas Of Mercer county n. J., who ac-
companied the members Of the Exempt
Firemen's Association, Of Trenton, TO
this city. is an eloquent speaker, and
while here made several addresses on
matters pertaining to firemen. Last
might, however, In replying TO President
Michael ]. Maloney OF the Weccacoe
Fire Company which organization en-
tertained the visitors. he departed from
the theme "Firemen." and seid a few
things about wilmington's streets.
He referred to the city streets as
.indescribable, and said that much more
walking such as he had gone through
would compel him to return to Trenton
ION all fours." "Come tO Trenton, a
Icity Of about your own size" said Mr..
Crossley "and we viii show you some
samples Of asphalt paving. You men
may be used to walking In such streets
as you have here, but how you do II
without laying yourself open to bum
ions and corns and endangering the
lgaments OF your legs is a mystery to
me. Aside from your grand hospitality
1 will ever remember Wilmington be-
cause Of its cobblestones."
The reception given TO the Exempts
by the Weccacoe was in line with the
known hospitality Of that company, and
the visitors were royalty entertained
President Simmons, OF the Washing
ton Company. responded TO the remarks
made by President Maloney, Of the
Weccacoe, following which Mr. .crossley
was introduced.
