% ROCKERS and bankers Of Wall
- street do some eccentric things
sometimes when laboring under men
tai strain as the result of the market.
Several bankers and brokers were
swapping change" at a prominent ho-
tel the other night, and a story was
told of wealthy Spectator of Wall
street who is VIGOROUSLY stingy. When
he smokes, which is seldom, he re-
stricts himself to black five-cent CT
gar. During a recent slump in the
market this inancier walked into the
AStor house cigar store, pulled hand
full of 50-cent cigars from box lying
on the counter, twisted them into
pieces and threw them on the floor.
charge would be $3.50 he stood aghast
with horror and denied all knowledge
of the affair. 1t was with difficulty
that he was convinced he had crushed
five high-priced Havanas for his lapse
into absent mindedness.
A New York broker in the party re-
lated how he was sitting in his office
on Broad street watching the prices
tumble when he suddenly became
seized with the desire to get out on
the street and as far away from it as
possible. Without his coat or hat he
rushed from the building with his
waistcoat unbuttoned, leaped into an
electric cab and shouted to the chauf-
feur to move on. 1t was not until he
became conscious of the curious stares
of passersby in the roadway that he
realized the attire in which he was
splitting Broadway wide open was
scarcely presentable on the open street
at midday. =
Then it was told of a Wall street
broker who went into restaurant, ate
a hurried meal and walked up to the
cashiers counter to pay his check He
went through his pockets one by one,
but to his establishment failed to find
any money. He was forced to tell the
cashier, who was a stranger, that the
price of the meal would have to be
charged to him. The cashier, who was
good fellow, laughed and said, All
ll6HI, puL YOU hight leave I00 napkin
behind" He left the restaurant Won
dering what could have become of his
money, as he. was certain that he had
some change in his clothes when he
left the office. Mentally he went back
over his course and remembered that
he had stopped at stationery store to
buy some stamps. He sought out the
place and asked the clerk if he had
left and change behind when he had
purchased the stamps. Yes" said the
clerk, you left whole bunch of it
here. We tried to call you back, but
you rushed out before we could reach
you" He handed over the change to
the broker, who thanked him and
started out Don't you want to take
the stamps?" called the clerk. II
therefore developed that not only had
he gone out without his change but
without the stamps he had paid for.

FORTUNE FOR FAIR PRINCESS.
Twenty Million Dollars Is Nest Egg
She inherited.

Americans as we'll as Europeans
who know her express delight at the
good fortune of Princess Henry of
Pless in inheriting, with her husband,
$20,000,000, comfortable addition to
their modest fortune. The money is
derived by the popular couple from
the estate of the duke of Pless, whom
nobody on this side of the water knew
well, and who had few friends even
in England. Princess Henry, on the
other hand, gained the hearts of many
as Daisy West. 1t was by that name
she was known to most of her &C
quaintances before her marriage,
though in strict Formally she was
Miss Cornwallis-West. She was be-
throthed to Prince Henry at the end
of her first season in society. The
duke of Pless lived a life of almost
feudal formality at Furstenstein, their
splendid Renaissance castle in the
borders of Bavaria. 1t must have re-
quired, indeed, power of adaptability
in an English girl to take up the posi-
ton of sort of queen among the
peasantry there, driving about mag
nificently in carriage drawn by Arab
grays, ridden by Positions in claret-
colored coats and white beaver hats.
Still, Princess Henry has made the
life at Furstenstein quite pleasantly
informal, and most of the time is
spent, when she ,entertains English or
German friends there, in riding or
driving in the beautiful woods or val
leys near. Prince and Princess Henry
of Pless spend good deal of the year
in London, and they are oftener over
in England for the Cowes week. Their
little son was baptized in London two
years ago, it may be remembered.
The queen stood sponsor, and the
ceremony was a splendid affair.

HUNS In AMERICA SEND
MILLIONS HOME YEARLY

A INVOLVEMENT is made of the
~ establishment in this city of the
Hungarian-American bank, which pur-
poses to provide for, and develop
financial and commercial relations be-
tween this country and Hungary.
The new institution is capitalized
at 100000. Half the capital, $780,
900, was subscribed by the Central
Credit Bank of Hungary. The remain
ing 100000 of the capital stock has
been taken up by the local interests
associated chiefly with banking enter
prises.
Ludwig Gyenes, director general of
the Central Credit bank of Budapest,
has been in New York for the last few
weeks in the interests of the new in
stitution.
There are in the United States no
fewer than 100000 Hungarians, and
they send back to their friends and
relatives in Hungary some $S0,OO0,O 900
every year, or about $50 year each.
The system of transmitting this vast
sum is disorganized. The new bank
aims to put this entire business upon
a secure basis.

Advice Discounted.

Senator Burrows was asked for ad-
vice recently by newspaper CORE
spondent. He gave the advice, but
afterward, smiling and shaking his
head, he said:
advice is a thing am always
chary about extending. 1t is, you
know, so cheap, so easy.
"A boy, the other day, was push
ing heavy push cart up hill. The
hill was steep, the boy thin. He bent
forward at the work till he was al
most horizontal.
Hi, boy called an old man, push
the cart up the hill zigzag, from side
to side, and you'll find it will go
easier
The boy snarled back:
Not so much O yer darn advice,

MORE MONEY NEEDED TO
FINISH BRANCH LIBRARIES

kT EW YORK.-New York finds the
~ magnificent gift of $5,200000 made
by Andrew Carnegie to build rs branch
libraries in this city is far from being
enough. At the time the gift was made
In 1901, it was supposed that number
OF branches would be ample to pro
vide the reading public for many
years. Only thirty-nine of these
branches have been completed and the
commission in charge of the work is
already considering the ACCESSIBILITY
of proposal for the erection of TWEEN
ty-two more, making the total number
of branches 100 instead of rs.
The figures give some idea Of the
growth of the great metropolis in the
past six years. By the end of next
year SO of the new Carnegie branch
buildings will be ready for use About
the same time the funds provided by
Mr.. Carnegie will be nearing exhaus-
ton The sum of $5,200,000 was given
by Mr.. Carnegie after the library trus-
tees had figured, what would be need
ed to equip every section of New York
with a branch library But the ad-
vance in building materials has put
the figures of the estimate completely
to the bad. Certain it is that the sum
will come far short of finishing the
rs buildings first proposed and accord
ing to the. revised estimates twenty
two more will be needed.
Where the money is to come from
hann ht,k
York feels certain Mr. Carnegie will
not allow the work to lag for want of
funds. The additional twenty-five
buildings proposed will not be needed
for some years yet and in the mean
time the completion of the first rs
will be pushed forward and those re-
naming to be located and erected will
be placed where they will accommodate
the largest percentage of the popula-
ton. A year from now the building
commission expects to be able to
furnish Mr.. Carnegie with a complete
report, showing just what has been
done and what is to be done. The
great philanthropist is expected to
take the hint and the commission feels
little doubt that few more millions
will be made available Immediately if
they are needed.
The Libraries of New York this year
will cost the municipality over $780,
GOO for maintenance and when all of
the rs branches originally proposed
are completed the annual appropria-
ton is expected to run at least 81, 800.
600. But New York is cheerful over
the prospect. There can be no better
Investment the Gothamites think. The
city has already spent about $4,000 0O
for sites and books for the Carnegie
branches and every citizen of New
York is satisfied. The expense to the
city for the remaining sites and fur
nishings of the buildings yet to be
erected will probably run a couple OF
millions. But New Workers take
kindly to the libraries and their infu
ence for good in the neighborhoods
where there are located is immense.
