How She Landed.

A family living in West Fifty-ninth
street have in their employ a waitress
whose onl5 qualification for the place
when she came from ireland a month or
two ago was a pretty face, says the New
York Times. After she had learned how
to serve soup without spilling It her mis-
tress gave q dinner 70 which were invited
two very dignifed persons in whose
houses everything Rms with the smooth
ness Of a ehronometer. and she was nat
uraily anxious to approximate that
.smOothness in the service of her dinner.
For two courses everything went on
splendidly. but when the new girl re-
moved the fish and attempted TO take it
downstairs to the kitchen she tripped on
the top step and. with a scream and a
series Of bumps, she and the fish ac-
coInplished the descent. The hostess and
her family vainly tried to keep from
laughter, there was such a cheerful
bumpy sound in the downgoing. But the
two dignihed guests were as adamant.
They seemingly heard nothing. The
hostess sat irresolute for a moment, hop
ing the girl would not require assistance.
And she did not In the richest accents
voice came up the basement stairs:

way downstairs and landed on me tut

GOSSIP FROM WALL STREET

petus was money in the hands of highly
speculative coteries, with which, how
ever accidentally, the Union Pacific
party seems now TO be in accord.
Men representing conservative and i'm
portant brokerage and banking houses
said that, notwithstanding surface indi-
cations. they saw few indications Of any
heavy speculation on the part Of the
Hartman party They had the informa-
ton coming from their own experience,
that OF well-informed floor traders. and
that of very good outside connections. TO
convince them of a lack of participation
on the part Of bankers and brokers who
III the past have been content with Har-
riman movements. In their opinion, the
Hartman party is not very heavily in
terested In the market, unless the party
has made some entirely new brokerage
connections and is eoncealing its move
ments as secretively as ever did James
r. Keene, or Is encouraging the plungers
for the general purpose Of transferring
TO them stocks bought at much lower
level.
Other people based the same opinion on
the prevalent belief that the bulk Of
the buying has been done by houses
which have done business for most OF the
big pIungers Of the past year The
source Of the trading convinced all these
interested parties that the continuation
Of the upward movement was specu-
iative. rather than a market. movement.

it beat the barrier, took commanding
lead, and came down through the stretch
to the finish like a horse crazy with dope.
The purport Of this race track par
lance was the substance of many other
comments made at the close Of the
weeks business. It was a very general
remark that, In substance. Union Pacific
was going along under the excitement
of a great deal of artificial aid. and that
other stocks were also running above
their form That Union was the best
horse IN a well-doped race was the final
expression Of the broker who brought
out the race-track comparison.
An interview given out by Mr. Harri-
man in Washington. in which reassur-
ing, If not optimistic, views were ex-
pressed, accompanied the advance IN
Union Pacific. But before the publica-
ton Of the interview, opening sales had
been made and In the opening transae-
tions Union was bid for so insistingly

KENTUCKY HERO.
walking out OF ssate with Family
to Escape Night Riders.

From the Louisville Courier-JogTnal
Dispatches from Paducah say that
Henry Jackson, of Christian County with
his wife and children. have arrived there
after having tramped 100 miles. sleeping
in the woods. in the hope of getting out
of Kentucky Mr.. Jackson was visited
by night riders and invited to join an
expedition. He declined to consider the
proposition. A second invitation was de-
elined and he was ordered to leave the
State or 10 prepare for death.
Il requires exceptional courage for a
poor man with FIVE children and no funds

immunity on the one hand and threat

Henry Jackson had that courage. With

too much of a man TO become an outlaw.
His was a brand Of courage something
higher than the bravo who rides the
road by night, protected by the size of
the pack with which he prowls. and Sc
cure in the belief that the law holds no
punishment for him or his fellows.
It is said in the news dispatches that
some of the children may die as a result
of the efforts of the Jacks0ns TO reach
the State line. It Is difficult 10 believe
that this affliction viii be added TO the
