 Stock Brokerage Houses In Country.
 New York, Aug. 26.-As the culmina- tion of recent wild manipulative stock market, the causes of which are now being investigated by a special committee of the New York Stock Ex- change, the firm of A. o. Brown X Co, with main offices at 30 Broad street. one of the largest brokerage concerns in the country, has been forced to sus, pend. This announcement was made on the uoor of the exchange.
 How heavy the liabilities will be can not be ascertained, but $2,0O0,000 is.the lowest figure generally accepted.
 Since Saturday Wall street has been expecting the failure, and the actual announcement had been discounted.
 Various rumors were circulated in Wall street as to the identity of the interests for which A. o. Brown X Co. were acting in their heavy transac- tions, but no authoritative statement has been made on the subject.
 Opinion in some quarters is that Thomas W. Lawson, the Boston opera tor. was in some way concerned,
 It was said at the Stock Exchange that the name of the Brown firm had not been mentioned during the investi- gation being made by a special con- mittee and that the inquiry would pro- ceed.
 John W. Rhoades, cashier of the firm, was appointed assignee, and D. W. Noel is acting as his counsel. They were closeted with members of the

WOMAN NAMED AS LEADER
Mrs. Minnie Curtis, Arrested In New York, Described as the "Brains" of the Alleged Gang of Thieves De-
 tectives Now Investigating the Story.

Aue NiS9eo 1sn9 or thieves De- tectives Now Investigating the Story. New York, Aug. 26-Detectives in- vestigating widespread burglary plot which is said to involve $250,000 in connection with the arrest here of Mrs. Minnie Cureis and the apprehension in Paterson, N. J., of Harry Hill, learn. ed that Hill is member of a wealthy New Jersey family. In their search for further evidence in the case the police learned. according to their state ments, that the young man is a son of Smith Hill, former resident of Pat. erson. and a grandson of Henry B. King, a wealthy silk manufacturer of that city.
 While these facts were developing Mrs. Curtis, who was arrested by De tectives Hyams and Hughes of the cen tral office on information furnished by Hill. was arraigned before Magistrate Barlow in the Jefferson Market police court. At the request of the detectives she was held for forty-eight hours without bail.
 Hill himself appeared before Record CT Carroll in Paterson in accordance with an arrangement providing that he must appear in court every day so that he may be turned over to the New York authorities in case requisition pa- pers are obtained.
 Hill Wore Diamond Pin.
 Hill was immediately attired and presented the same suave demeanor that he has borne since his arrest. When taken into custody he wore a diamond crescent pin which the police of this city identified as part of the haul of one of the burglaries commit ted by the band of which the young man is alleged to be a member He talked little to the police until he was told that Mrs. Curtis had accused him of stealing 5000 worth of jewelry Upon hearing this he said according to the police, that the woman and her as- sociates were members of the "slickest band of burglars in this country" and that their booty during the years they have been operating would probably amount to S250000.
 After Mrs. Curtis arraignment De- tectives Hyams and Hughes gave it as their opinion that the woman was the "brains" of the alleged robber band. She was arrested in house in West Thirtieth street. and the police at the same time took into custody her twelve year-old daughter. Leonia, who was taken to the children's court. The de- tectives said an attempt would be made to obtain information from the child

the Drama of the World in All Its Subsequent
Scenes the daughter of the tanner of Falaise

This estimate of Herlevas influence upon the
course of world history is just one; but the
in which she began to exercise that influence is

Falaise, when young Duke Robert returning from

of almost nine centuries the Duke Herleva from

tween the castle and the brook, however, it is
little difficult to understand how, in a day when
there no telescopes opera glasses he could
have recognized that she was beautiful. According
to still different story, Hereva not engaged in
the praseworthy occupation of washing clothes at
all, but was dancing on the green when the young
ruler first behed her
All the stories agree however, that at first sight
the Duke infatuated, and that he at
had an interview with her father, the tanner.

good and he hesitated, holy hermit, his brother
