consequences of hanging on Chande
lier to light the gas or standing on
your plush bottom chair? More
damage may be done by lighting one
chandelier one time without- these
conveniences than it would cost to
buy a outfit foiach ant eery room

Wbhienln Stock Speculations.
Baltimore Sun.
In an interview with a reporter Mr.
J. J. Hill, in speaking of the wild ex
citement in Wall Street the other day
and its deplorable results, said:
"I expect before long that people will
sfop selling that which they haven'
got and can't get, and then we'll get
down to a satisfactory business basis.
Selling what you haven't got and
can't get is a method of gambling far
more dangerous and hurtful to the pub
lic morals and welfare than any other
game o chance. It has been observ
ed that in all the excitement and panic
and inflation and collapse of values
there has been not one important fail
uro. Commenting on this fact, a writ
er in a New York paper declares that
although this is true the loss has been
as severe as that which took place yi
Black Friday, thirty-two years ago.
The difference then was that rich bank
ing firms failed in rapid succession, and
this time it is the small fortunes that
have been wiped out. Thousands of
men and women who deemed it easy
to get rich quick ventured all they
had and lost all. A few. unloaded in
time, but the great number of them
were in the crash. Havoc was wrought
with the savings of bank clerks, office
boystyfefctfiters and bookkeepers.
One of the saddest features of the
wholejmiserale1 business Is that sl
many women succumbed to the spirit
of gambling and lost all they had.
Many had borrowed money to bet with
and lost it. The scenes In the office?
of some of the offices of the brokers
were pitiful. Great numbers of women
would be standing around the tickers
watching prices going down and 'their
money slipping away from them, in
many cases all they had. Their grief
was extreme and uncontrollable.
Tn the modern civilization of cities
money stands for so much and means
so much that the greed of gain is the
master passion. Women need money to
gratify their social ambition and men
want wealth for the Importance it gives
them. The acquisition by ordinary
work or through the usual vocations
of life is too slow. It takes a lifetime
to grow rich by such means, and 410
one wants to wait. Few are content
ed with, what they have, and the-easiest
and quickest way to get money is, to
take it away from someone else with
out giving him anything in return.Thls
can be accomplished quickly and more
respectably, in the public estimation,
by stock gambling than at the faro ta
ble, but in point of morals there Is no
manner of difference. That ' women
should take to gambling or stock job
bing and speculating is worse than for ;
men to engage in such business, just
as it is worse for women to drink whis
key than for men to drink. A woman
is more nervous than a man, more ex
cited by winning and more likely to
be driven to despair by losses, and
hence for their own happiness afid for
the sake of the homethey .should- keep
out of gambling as they'-'WQUld, keep
away from an, accursed thing. .;:

Danville, Va., May lLY-The strike of
the operatives of the Riverside Cotton
Mills for the 10-hour system is stiU
on, land the textile union officials state
they are bound to win, although it is.
the opinion of many the backbone of
the strike has been broken by so many
of them returning to work. At least
500 have done so. The mill officials
decline to talk, and Mr. F. X. Burton,
the president, in reply to an inquiry
if the mills would take all the strik
ers back who wished to accept the 11
hour system, stated that they left on
their own accord and could return in
the same manner, as the mills were not
soliciting operatives at the present. It
is estimated that about 1,500 people are
still on the strike, but the list is
growing smaller day by day, and that
merchants are losing is evidenced by
many of them cutting off part of their
forces offering them their, situations

and Got it With a Shotgun.
Pitsburg, Pa., Dispatch, 10th,
William Bradburn, former champion
heavyweight pugilist of Illinois and
brother of James Bradburn, of Chicago
once chief cattle buyer for Armour &.
Co., created a stampede today in a
Pittsburg bucket shop with a loaded
shot gun. He had been dealing in July .
corn in the East End branch of, A. B.
Baxter & Co., bucket shop men, , and
yesterday he closed out his trades and
found himself $800 to the good. Brad
burn asked for his money and was tbid
that he would have to get it at the main
office down town. He galled there in the
afternoon and was informed,so he says.
tliat the firm did not consider itself re
Bpontible for the East End house's
debts.'
HI five you till tomorrow to set
tle," said Bradburn.
This morning Bradburn called again
and approached the desk.but was wav
ed aside and told not to begin the sub
ject again. He walked away, bought a
$50 shot gun, put in two shells loaded
with buckshot and went back to Bax
tor's. The room was crowded and: there
was a general stampede of customers.
Left alone with Baxter and his partner
Bradburn pointed his gun andv. gave
them ten minutes to count out$800.The
money was counted down and Brad
burn pocketed it just as a potrol wagon
load of policemen brought by a riot call
arrived. . . ........ v
