June he waa the recipient of many a avert | jibes from the rest of the boys ou ac count of his willingness to oblige a non-tipping guest. He had his chance to laugh, however, when early in July he received a check for $100 from Mrs. Potter.

The inter vention by the Government was brought about, it is said, by the number of big losses sustained by merchants of the South. It Is pointed out by the Commis sioner of Corporations that the buyer has no chance at all with .the sellers. "He itW that If a buyer bought? dif ferences In futures at a high price and the quality of the differences ran low the loss entailed was enormous, 111 buiuc tases rulnouo.

AnoJ&ar feature of the ruleB of the ts'ew Yofx Exchange which the re port termed unsavory was the so called "fixed difference" system. A committee of^ the exchange fixes the grades and prices. And this in view of the fact, the report stales, that most oflhe dealings In the New York market are in futures. This system, Mr. Smith terms a& arbitrary.

In the very K'or>"^f youth and the charms which sttsch To a young woman graced with the culture of refinement and the beat society, itt is hard to attribute any cause for such a tragedy other that in a moment of terrible despon dency brought about by the slight but kindly remonstrance, the young woman became for the moment de ranged and -fired the death dealing bullet Into her heart without a full realization of its awful consequences to the aged parents and devoted rel stives and friends. About 6 o'clock she was called for supper, but responded that she did not want to eat and would be down in a short while.
