SICK MAN ON WALL STREET.
Effect of Jay GouId's Illness and
Death ON the Stock Market.

Effect of Jay GouId's Illness and
Death ON the Stock Market.
Jay Gould was man of frail ply
siQue In the evening of his career
the state Of his health became mat
ter of intense speculative interest in
Wall street. On rumors that he was
dangerously i'll prices would fall on
these rumors being authoritatively and
convincingly denied, prices would re-
cover. When there was nothing much
else in the stock market for Specua-
tors to think about or trade upon,
days would be spent in ridiculous and
futile alarms. At length Mr.. Gould
became a chronic invalid, the strain Of
his life having hopelessly undermined
his health, and though by this time
his affairs were so composed that bis
death would not be likely to upsetths
stock market, the fiction was kept
alive among spectators that tuctua-
lions in his physical condition were
of the utmost Importance.
The New York newspapers took
part in the discussion, says the New
York Evening Post. and when Mr.
Gould, accompanied by several doc
tors, went to Saratoga Springs, stan
correspondents went along to see foF
themselves. Their reports disagreed
as hopelessly as the Wall street ru
nors.

having no business Of her own, eccu-
pied herself with that of other folk.
Both critics illustrate the prevalent
misconception of the meaning and use
Of leisure. The woman they describe
Is the idle woman. She is truly the
enemy Of society Whether she reads
libraries Of cheap fiction, or plays day
long games Of cards, or purveys COS
sip, or champions reforms" as foolish
as they are noisy, the idle woman is a
burden and a menace. On the other
hand, every woman who orders her life
well and wisely Is true woman OF
leisure. Without some space IN every
day uncrowded with duties or pleas
ures, there Is no fiexibi1ity Of plan and
no repose of spirit. Without leisure to
furnish elasticity and to make posi-
BILE some ripening thought, a Womans

or. Is fosters the sense Of response
bility. 1t illumines dullness with hu-
NOR. It restraints rashness and ban
ishes pettiness To be without leisure
Is to be without wisdom. Leisure sows
the rare seed which idleness neglects,
and even industry cannot gather the
harvest which has not been sown.

Sometimes the newspapers al
nounce in startling headlines that
lone highwayman has held up" a
train and gotten away with fabu-
lous amount of money. This fires the
imagination of the crtm1nally inclined
and leads them to think that easy
money" may be had without work. But
the fact is that very few criminals
ever profit much by their fl-gotten
gains. William A Pinkerton, the vet
eran detective, declared, in recent
address, that no crime pays; that s5
per cent of criminals die in debt and
frequently in want. And speaking Of
"hold-up" robbers especially, he says
few are alive and out of prison to-day.
The very limited number that are in
comfortable circumstances are those
who have abandoned criminal lines
and taken to honest work. It some
times happens that man who has led
a criminal life for while reforms and
after squaring himself with the law
builds up competence in some legft1-
mate pursuit. This is partly due to
the fact that successful robber or
burglar must be a man Of more than
ordinary nerve, ability and quick1ess.
The same amount of energy and
smartness and labor that he puts into
his criminal enterprises would bring
him a greater reward in some honest
calling. with the added advantage OF
being able to keep and use what he
makes. The ignorant, petty and clum-
sy thief usually has short shrift He
is soon caught and put away 1t Is
getting to be quite a general opinion
among detectives and students OF
cr1minelogy that men who attempt
daring train robberies and similar
crimes are men of unsound mind,
probably dangerous lunaticx, as no
really sane man would take the des-
perate chances involved In such an st.
tempt. If such Is really the case, it
Is all the more important that what
few bank or train robbers happen to
be at large should be hunted down and
put where they can no longer endan-
ger the lives and property of the
public.

In order to facilitate the work of en-
ployes, the Belgian postal authorities
have suggested that correspondents use
red envelopes for all letters to Brus-
sells, yellow envelopes for country let
tiers. and green for those addressed to
foreign countries. In country so
small territorially as Belgium such a
plan has obvious advantages. To make
1t work in the United States, it would
be necessary to call upon so many

For me is buried treasure
BY many a misty coast;
But All! its tale and measure
Long, long ago 1 lost.
Or If Phoenician mintage,
Or crusted bowls divine
That held Alcinous' vintage
Or late Falernian wine!
If Egypt's jewelled scarab;
Or moonlight CLEAN Of jade;
Or magic dirk of Arab,
Or Scythian idol blade!
Or painted scroll or CULVER,
Or Inca's gold-in- cave;
Or pelf from diamond river;
Grisamber from sea wave;
Or, from Varangian barrow
Some amulet uncouth:
Or but this fiinthead arrow
From hilltops roamed in youth;
/ count my treasure buried
BY many a misty coast
The vanished lives, as varied,
That long ago I lost!
Whereof cloudy token
Across my memory drives;
But no spell lifts unbroken
My many sunken lives.

Tourist WHO Visited Here
Comments On
Exposition

Walter Powell, Cooks tourist,
spent several pleasant weeks In the
city with Col. and Mrs. II. J. Greene,
while on his way to the Colonies. Mr..
Powell. when passing through on the
Aorangi, going north, was urged to
visit the Seattle Fair, and he writes of
II to Col. Greene as follows:
Dear Colonel:
arrived here safely on the Aorangi
and left the same night for Seattle
and stayed there three days, getting
back here yesterday morning.
The Exposition buildings are very
fine and cover over 200 acres of
ground. The Hawaiian exhibit has a
building to itself and is very fine

high, and also a great pile of cocoa
nuts about the same height. Maps OF
the islands are hung around, and q

lands surrounded by water, Is n good
