E Alarmed by the apparent detefmin- ation of the State Legislature to pass the bill recently introduced by Sen ator Stillwell to make the Stock Ex- under the Jurisdiction of the State Banking department, Wall street is ''up in the air" The enactment of the bill putting the exchange under State regulation, will stop all-naar- ginal gambling in stocks, which rep the business of the exchange, and eliminate practically all of the evils which have helped most to discredit Wall street outside of New York. A powerful lobby, reinforced by bat tery of the most eminent corporation; the State capitol at Albany to try and persuade the Legislature of the err TOT of their way. Unless their argu- ments prove more convincing that they have to date and the sponsors of the. bill are pulled off it will be- come a statute of the State before the present session adjourns. The measure has behind it the same mor- al sentiment that stood back of Su- preme Court Justice Hughes when. as Governor. he forced through his am ti-racing legislation which wiped out track gambling. The powers con- ferred by the bill on the State author ities are so sweeping in character that it will enable them to review the various means employed by Wall street to accelerate interest in their operations through inspired periodical
 financial departments" and determine whether the boosting of certain stocks and the knocking of others for the purpose of promoting the ends of the financiers of the Street are Justified by the existent facts. Should the bill become a law the authorities of the Stock Exchange will lose large part of the power they now exercise. often arbitrarily, respecting the listing and non-l listing of stocks, and make all of their acts subject to the ruling of the State. It will cut down the revenues of the bankers by millions year and practically end all speculation in stocks making the exchange an ex- change of investors instead of as now. of speculators.

fly could consist of three children; $2,- 900 a year, five children. The larger the income the more children he should be allowed to have. In the increasing number of misfit marriages women are as much to blame as the stance. What do they do? After about an hours battle with about fif- ty or one hundred puffs, the so-call- ed 'well-dressed stenographer finally succeeds in sticking one on her head Then 8 pretty peek-a-boo waist, with the lowest neck to be had, is put on Then she starts to work. At the of ment of her hair. The net result is: One pretty girl and no work done The woman of today'' sighed Mrs Cory, lis not like the woman of old The woman of today lacks every es- sential of womanliness, and doesn't even pretend to try to initiate her mother The woman of today seems infused with the idea that she should be admired by every man in the place of having one good home for one par ticular man. tPuffs rats, Dutch col lars, low sleeves-these are keeping wonankind down. They make the eternal woman and keep woman from is the vanity she displays at all times that keeps her inferior to man.
 Mistah Jack Johnson, who wrote a chapter to the history of pugilism at Reno on the 4th of July last that will prove unpleasant reading to the white race for some years to come, objects to paying for a white bust of himself carved to his order by Cartaino Scia- rinno, a local Italian sculptor. The latter wants s40O0 for his work, which he 'acclaims an artistic conception of the negro in fighting pose, but the black man won't come across. Backed by a lawyer and a process server, the sculptor is now seeking to impound some of Johnson's automobiles and sartorial embellishments.
 "Ah doan want yoh ;.to;, go an use black clay" said Johnson to the sculp- tor as he stepped down for the work of posing. ''Ah wants muh skin to look white. 'Cose muh features will don show ah's cullud, an dat's all dat needs be don shown. Ah'm gwine to give dat to my ol' mammy. way back in Chicago" he said. "She can put it on de pahloh table an right 'longside ub Lincoln and Washing ton" Just before the bust was com pleted Johnson thought he would have a full figure made and present it to the city of Galveston.

when the "Black Horse' cavalry were doing yeoman service in the cause of ''the interests and recalled to mind the awful mess the old leader made of his last marriage. Firing of it's pastoral quiet, Mrs. Lillian Janeway which was deeded to her by Platt when they separated in 1906. It was to Tioga Lodge that the aged poIiti- elan took the sprightly woman after their ill-mated marriage, and it was there he sought asylum from Mae Wood, the Treasury Department clerk who chased him around the country vowing vengeance upon the infrm, de- crepit old boss whom she charged with failing to keep his promise to marry her. If the picturesque old house, with it's velvet lawns and over- hanging bowers could speak the tale they could tell of the legislative deals made beneath their shelter would fur nish an interesting and startling con- tribution to the shady history of American politics When matters of great importance to the interests that ruled the destiny of the State and the nation impended, no retreat offered better assurance of privacy than Tioga Lodge, where the wise the rich, the great and the near great went hat in hand and obsequient as a flunkey to the whims and caprice of its master.
 With the railroads, the beef trust, the bathtub trust, the undertakers trust, and all the other combinations that affect the domestic peace and purse of the average citizen under Federal and State regulation Mrs Sarah M. Cory of the Society of Po- litical Study thinks it about time that something should be done to con- trol the size of families In a rather unique plea for the elevation of the home, the other day she declared it the duty of the State to prevent men from marrying until their earning ca pacity had been established.
 ''My idea" she said. lis that there should be some law whereby persons with no visible means of support would be prohibited from marrying Men earning only $20O year get mar ried. Very often children come into the world only to turn out criminals idiots. etc. This does not apply to the rich. They do not bother about rais- ing children, anyhow. They are too busy pursuing their individual plea sures with the money they have. A man ought to be earning at least $500 a year before he is permitted to mar ry. If he earns $1,O00 year his fam

Johnson scribbled his autograph on the bust "Nuthin' kin rub dat out,'' he said. , The sculptor had to do his work in Johnson's rooms in Baron Wilkens
 hotel on Thirty-f1fth street and every time money was mentioned, Johnson said it would be all right, always pro- ducing a roll of yellow backs, just to assure the sculptor, but he never handed any over. The day the bust was completed. and the sculptor said it would be a good time to take it away from the studio, Johnson began to lose interest.
 That subtle thing which artists
 call temperament has disturbed the the conjugal repose of George w. Pe- ters, one of the best known of the periodical illustrators of the country
 and his pretty wife who as Mary Douglas, twenty years ago was re- garded as one of the most popular young women in Montreal. Peters is the fourth of the prominent illustra- tors and artsits of Gotham to wreck their matrimonial bark on the shoals month or so since George Huff and his wife. who was once a famous model, came to the parting of the ways on the same reef, and less than year since Howard Chandler Chris ty fled from his spouse and fireside for the same reason. Homer Daven- port the cartoonist, ran afoul of the temperamental beast two years ago and is now paying substantial alimony for the privilege of living alone.~ If reports that are floating about the city truly forecast future happenings in the artist colony several others whose names are household words on the .Ameriean sentiment will be. in the same tub before long. The prin- Ecipals plaint of the illustrators is that their wives, once keen1y sympa thetic, as the years glide by have turned in different to their work, their petty worries and conceits. An artist needs sympathy like a longshoreman his beer If he don't get it. the wives protest, he becomes a veritable rip saw and turns things upside down.
 Peters has left his wife and their eighteen year old son in their hand some home. at Leonia, overlooking the Hudson, and for the present has talk en temporary quarters in the lower end of the city. He says a reconcilia- ton is impossible. /

 ."The essential for a woman's suc- cess in business is that she forget her sex when dealing with men. She must meet them upon the plane of business. She must not remember that she Is not a man during busi- ness hours What We hear and read

TAELAkE.
Mass Meeting to be Held in
Covington July 10.
To Launch the Movement
For Bridge Over Lake.
The Police Jury Will Attend
Meeting in a Body.
Large Numbers Have Signed
the Petition Circulated.


Much interest is being manifested
in the movement to have bridge
built across the lake. This interest
is not only manifest in st. Tammany
Parish but in New Orleans also. Ihe
Police Jury has formed itself a com
mittee of the whole to attend the
mass. meeting to be held in CoYing-
ton on the 18th instant for the pur-
pose of putting matters in shape ana
interesting capitalists in the under
taking. The general impression is
that the building Of this bridge can
be made profitable investment
aside from the increased value 1t VIII
give to property, and that If it's ad-
yantages are properly placed before
the investors of the country 1t VIII
not be such a hard matter to raise
the money. A petition has been
circulated in this parish and in Ne"
Orleans by Mr.. H. L. Garland foi
the purpose OF getting the proper
endorsement, and it is being hliee
with signatures of prominent people
who believe in the feasibility OF tn
plan. 81. ~
