at al Manhattan avenue. was killed by a
subway train at the l1sth street station Of
the Lemon venue line at a few minutes
after Q o'clock yesterday morning.
1t is thought by her family that Mrs.

far over the edge Of the platform while
watching an approaching train. Her
daughters. Louise and Hattie, Tread in the
evening papers account of the death of
an unidentified woman as they were re-

Mrs. Peck was a charter member, identi-
fed the body. They asserted that there
could be no grounds for the police theory
that Mrs. Peck had committed suicide.
There we're few persons on the plat

he saw her allow several trains to pass

that as she walked to the edge Of the

The burning question on Wall street
is always whether stocks will 80 up or

swer it correctly he could make him
self a millionaire in a day. but specu-
lation is neither fortune telling nor a
gambling game. and the man who be-
Iieves otherwise is bound to lose bis
money and to join the ranks Of the dis
consolate, disgusted and depleted who
make the outcry against the evils Of
Wall street. says LeSlie's Weekly.
The winner in Wall street is gifted
with the same business characteristics
that bring success in any line OF enter
prise. He utilizes them in buying and
selling stocks. just rs he would if he
were engaged in merchandising. He
knows. for instance. that prosperous
conditions are reflected by what are
called the bank exchanges. by railway
earnings. the record of failures. the
condition Of the iron market. the bal
