Toy Warehouses.

Toy Warehouses.
The Troedel market is on little is
land in the heart Of the old town OF
Nuremberg. Along the north branch
Of the river is an old, low eaved house
with a little darklfng doorway. When
you have got SO far you are met by a
little old mana rusty little man who
looks as though he were made of metal
who leads you into the great mysteri-
GUS warehouse of toys.
Round all the walls they are ranged
guns, cannons, motors, steamships,
numpets, sabers, and everywhere the
soldiers. How many millions of metal
soldiers have marched away from the
Troedel market not even the rusty old
man could tell you-mighty articles Of
pewter and tin.
Hundreds Of regiments, of battalions.

shelves, waiting for the day when they

on the Manipulation.
CIVIL REMEDY IN :![: EXISTS.
Attorney7G General Stead Hands

SPRINGFIELD, ILLS, April At
torney General Stead to-day handed
Governor Dcncen an opinion on the ma
nipulations Of the Chicago and Alton
Railroad properties within tho last few
years by T.. Fl. Hartman and some Of
his financial associates, including G..
j. Gould, James Stillman and MOrtl- :
mer T.. Schiff.
The opinion is giving in response to
request communicated from Governor
Deneen OH March ED (soon after the
return Of Governor Deneen and Attor-
ncy- General Stead from a conference
with President Roosevelt at Washing
5ton), in which the Attorney General
was asked to advise what his conclu-
sions are in the matter and what action,
If any, is contemplated by the legal
department Of the State.
After setting out at some length the
various manipulations to which tho
railroad corporations and properties
forming the Alton System We're sub
tected, Attorney General Stead con-
cludes there is,not the least doubt that
civil remedy exists against the "tinan-
ciers" who have wrecked this prosper
Gus. railroad company and, at the OK.
pense OF innocent stockholders and
ibondho1ders have gathered to them
selves n harvest OF millions of dollars.
Injuries Innocent Holders.
Mr.. Stead is doubtful, however.
whether 1t is the province Of the state
Of Illinois to enforce tho remedy. The
revocation of the company's charter,
which apparently would be tho natural
procedure on the part OF the state
would bring most Of the suffering upon
innocent stockholders. Hartman and
