brought about a remarkable condition. While the rich are fleeing from the street, the poor are hurying there to invest in order to take advantage or the low prices of standard securities.
 There are some who say that the ricn are so panic stricken over the state or the market that within the last few weeks there has been curtailment or present and contemplated expenses amounting to at least $50.000,000. This Is probably all rubbish as far as the curtailment of living expenses by the wealthy Is concerned. But 1t is fact that the poor with little money to invest are seizing what they consider a golden opportunity. Henry Clews. the banker, Is responsible for the story that the rich have been frightened Into economy in all directions.
 The semi-panic in Wall Street, he said, has acted as warning to the people to put the brakes on. The losses through shrinkages in value amount to about two billions of dollars. Of course, this is largely in what Is known as book or paper profits. but the fact that they had to their credit these profits that have now been swept away led many people into extravagances and costly living. The buying of jewels and fn- cry, the building of houses and yachts and the purchasing of automobiles. to- gether with the expenditures that ac- company these luxuries are being cur tailed.
 Thousands of families have been af- fected by the loss of the two billions in values. From what I have been told by business men. I would say that Soo,- 900 900 is a very conservative estimate of the lessened purchasing power of the people affected by the Wall Street situation"

There is a little beanery down on Park Row which Is just IS famous in it's way as the waldorf-Astoria. Charles A. Dana used to go there for his lunch. So did Horace Greeley.

 Several cranks gained admission to the class and this frightened young Mir. Rockefeller. One Sunday afternoon a man with a weeks growth of beard on his face entered the church lobby and said to the usher:
 T have just got in from Bull Run. Did you save me the seat ordered by wire?"
 This was sufficient warning for Rockefeller. Jr. After that he was al- ways accompanied to his class by a detective. a mild-mannered person whose identity was not discovered for a long time.

MEN AND W0MEN,
ExpresslonIe.s Faces In Fashion.

ExpresslOnIess Faces In Fashion.
 Every age has its own type of face; the character of the age determines it. Old pictures help us to see this, in spite of the failure of portraiture truly to give expression. and it Is observable even when looking over the pages of old numbers of Punch. The Early Victor ian face was quite unlike the Georgian and that again Is As different as pos sib1e from the Elizabethan type Curious indeed 1t is that this age of progress and femine intelligence should produce faces that ara eXpresSionless. But 1t Is generally agreed that present day circumstances and way of living are producing a calm, not to say ston- hess which is becoming general
 There is more than one reason to ac- count for this. To begin with. 1t Is the creed of the up-tO date woman never to give herself away. To accomplish this affectually she never allows her ever. Inwardly she may be full of fury, racked with jealousy. or bored to dissolution; but throughout these varied feelings she preserves the same Impressive look, and shows not smiling face, but one that is quite destitute of any expression. says Womans Life.
 Nor must anything appear to sur prise or annoy the modern woman. A cup of coffee may be spilled over her delicate silk gown, she simply folds the breadths together and goes on w4,h her flow of feminine talk. The "enfant terrible" makes agonizing remarks, d yfval giving some cruel stab. all IS ret with the same absolute mmohility of countenance. Such stoic self--com- mand in its way is admirable, but 1t ia certainly dull.

PLANFOR WAREHOSE
SCHEME OF BIRMINGHAM PEOPLE
 SUCCESS
System Will Endeavor to care for a Large Part of the Cotton Crop
 Sunday Was Quiet.

Birmingham. April 7.--(Special. J. The formation of company to car ry on the proposed system of bonded cotton warehouses throughout the South, the parent warehouse to be To- cated in Birmingham, appears to be a go. Those who are said to be in terestetd in the scheme in Birming- ham will not give out any informa- ton beyond the fact that everything possible Is being done to bring about a consummation of the proposed or ganization.
 It is intended that the system of warehouses will care for a large pro- portion of the cotton crop of the South, the receipts tot be good collateral for loans and other things. In fact the receipts of cotton stored in these warehouses are to be practically the same as money. The warehouses, so 1t is explained by those who are in- tetrestetd in the movement, will ob- viate the middle man, placing the transactions of the future between the men, the producers and the spinners.
 There are many difficulties in the preparations for the formation of the company and putting the plans in operation, in addition to raising the necessary capital. These difficulties are being overcome as quickly as pos- sible, and 1t Is admitted that this Is slow work.
 High officials of the Southern Cot ton Association look with favor on the plans as given out by those woring up the system of warehouses in the South and will render every assistance possible In consummation of the negotiations. Information concerning these intentions has spread in the East especially where cotton is used to a large extent and every move Is be- ing watched. It may be months be- fore the first step Is taken in the movement, but much interest is being shown already.

IN EROME'S NET.
NAMES IN POOL ROOM
 SCANDAL.
Senator Grady and Son of J. W. Gates are Called-The Gossip
 of Manhattan Uale

New York. April 6.-(Special.)- Growing out of the attempts to show how very bad New York's police force is have come some fresh revelations concerning the pool room industry in this city.
 A year or two ago Police Commis- sioner Bingham and District Attorney Jerome thought they had put the pool rooms out of business for a. time. This was when the Western Union Tel egraph Company took Its wires out of the pool rooms and announced that hereafter 1t would furnish no racing information except to handle matter for the newspapers which was filed by their own men. Through a raid in the financial district the other day the pany had taken the place of the tele- graph company in the dissemination of race track information. They found that there were several pool room tell ephone exchanges whose wires dis seminate nothing but pool room infor- nation. Entries. results and track betting from out of town race tracks around New York are gathered by turf information companies. The news goes into the telephone exchanges and the exchanges hand it around speedily to the pool rooms.
 In an effort to put these exchanges out of business the District Attorney has called on the telephone company to produce the record of calls of cer- tain suspected places. Incidentally the District Attorney has found the names of some prominent men on the books og some of the pool rooms that have been raideda For instance, an indi- vidual whose name appears on the books Of Q SGrqdv Ay TT. G." e." and Sen. G." will be asked to explain how it happened that his 'winning gs"-apportio at the same time, apparently, that the profits were divided among the owners-have been for a long time exactly sixteen per cent of the total distribution. This man is undoubtedly Senator Thomas G. Grady, one of the most prominent men in Tammany Hall. It was Grady who at the Buffalo convention was made chairman of the committee on credentials and threw out enough bona fide delegates to give the nomination for Governor to W. R. Hearst. Grady did not do the job through any love for Hearst, but because he was ordered to do 1t by Charles F. Murphy, the Tammany leader, who is at outs with Mayor Mcclellan and saw no better way to humiliate the mayor than to nominate for Governor to man who had come so near beating him for mayor It did not matter to Murphy that Hearst had pictured him in stripes in his newspapers. Murphy got his re- ward in revenge and now Grady Is get ting his in pool room graft.
 And Grady's reward is not to be sneezed at. The first year he was in terested in the pool room on the books of which his name was found he got $17, 1000 as his share of the profits and $2S000 the second
 Grady's was not the only distin guished name found on the books of the pool room in question. As a re- suit of the District Attorneys inves tieation Charles c. Gates, a son of John w. Gates, and several other prom inent wall street men have been asked to call on MT. Jerome and do some ex- plaining.

How to Reform Husbands.


 In Chicago the police court judges are trying the plan of reforming men by good cookery instead of sending them to jail and some of the local Magistrates think pretty well of the scheme. Among those who consented to express themselves for the enlight- enment of the public through the me- dium of one of the morning papers was Battery Dan" Finn, who is police court judge by day and Tammany district leader by nig.t--these alsfrlc' leader judges declare that they never let their politics interfere with du- ties on the bench.
 i've never tried sentencing com plaining wives to feed their husbands finely favored food" said Battery Dan" "but I think good deal of do- nestle unhappiness is due to poor cooking A cold cup of conee Is not very warming and tough corn beef is full of bad temper"
 Food made me happy, wealthy and wise," was the comment of Big Bill'' Devery. who Former Mayor Van Wyck said, was the best police chief New York ever had. Most folks thought he was abolt the worst.
 One of the physicians approached was enthusiastic over the scheme. He was especially in favor of onions as a diet.
 They are excellent for husbands who talk in their sleep" he said. Talking in our sleep Is productive of terrible amount of domestic unhap- piness and I am sure that one barrel of onions distributed among somnam- bulistic conversatioaalists would do $1 900, ,0o0 worth of good in prevent ing separations"
 Another physician recommended the following list of foods for wives to give their husbands for different ail- ments:
 LAZlNFSS-Peppers. horseradish. to- basco, chop suey. radishes. tough beef.
 NERVoUsNEss-Chicken sal%i, hot chocolate. string beans, turnips, leek1.
 WIFE BEATING-Vegetable nuts and cereals, jelly cake, lady fingers. UNLOVING-Steak chops, carrots, spinach Lima beans. cakes.
 COLD FEET-Buc,zwheat cakes, sau- sage. fried potatoes. shad roe.
 COLD HANDS-Rice, tapioca, cheese cake pork chops. brown bread
 TALKING IN SLEEP-Onions, garlic, anchovles, boiled ham. also clothes pins.
 SNORING-Welsh rabbit, pickled onions bloaters, cream puffs.

 At o'clock in the afternoon Johnny was serving beef and" on Park Row. and at o'clock in the evening he was the guest of honor in one of the finest banquet rooms in the city. That's queer phase of New York life that out siders find 1t hard to understand. But the explanation is easy. Beef and" Meehan has made himself a person of some influence in the politics of his neighborhood and the men who enter tained him were mostly those who have profited or expect to profit by politics. Meehan controls some votes and they naturally want to keep him in line.

Sunday Quiet in Birmingham.

The police again were on the look out for violators of the Sunday law. The saloon men closed their places of business at 12 o'clock last night and there was absolutely nothing doing today the proprietors and bartenders not even standing around the estab- lishments during the day.
 Much interest was shown today as to what would be done at and around Lakeview. Judge Dan. A Green of the criminal court, in charging the grand jury last Monday, announced that playing golf on Sundays was as much violation of the Sunday law as the bartender who entered his place of business on the Sabbath and attended to business.
