Max Xeedletumi, iaa tailor, at No. 117 K4 One Hun dred and Thirteenth street. When Harry was six months old he fell from bin high chair aud lauded on his head. Dm. Jneohi and tUchd operated ou him and found it nee exMtrj to remove his thyroid gland. Tho thyroid gland is an insig nificant looking anatomical object in the human trsebea, the top of the windpipe. The most learned physiologists do not know precise ly why man ia blended with the thyroid gland. They suppose its functiou has something to do with the blood and with the format ion of mucin which forms a larjre part of the fluid which lubricate the mucous membranes. Anyhow, after the child's thy roid gland was extirpated be grew very slowly and remained extreme ly adolescent. Harry baa been playing with childreu wben he should have been associating with men. He basbeeu at school for ten years and is the despair of his teachers. His moth er sent him on an errand lat Fri day. As he waa crossing Third avenue a wagon hit bim and touted him few feet His face was rut badly and an ambulance took him to tbe Harlem Hospital. There lrs. Herrity, llennettand Mosher discovered that Harry had no thyroid gland, Studying him, mentally and physically, they saw that he suffered from cretinism, a disease, that is found oflenesl in Switzerland and Savoy and such mountainous countries. Persons who have cretinism, tbe wise doctors sav, are stuuted in growth; often have goitre, a wrink led skin, pale complexion aim a vacant aud stupid countenance. And Harry has most of these symp tOUIS. 80 the Harlem Hospital doctors are trying to "age'' bim. They are dosing him with what nature does uot supply bim, as he baa no thy roid glaud. Tbey are giving him freuueut five grain doses of a txiw- der made from the thyroid glauds of healthy sheep. It may take years, out tue uoc tors hope that Harry will kick out tbe end of his crib one morning and exclaim in a grulT voice: "I have wasted some years, but, by Jupiter, I am a man!"

I'.m ikiov's M . wink of New , York has begun a fight on the Wall street gambling outrage. It starts' out with the follow iug aswrtious:. Margin gamb'ing is at the bottom! of our baulking insecurity. j Maigin gambling makes wah sales Hissible. , Margin gauihliug makes mere: paw ns of hne prerties, w ith the control shirting over night Margin gambling gives opportu nity for made to order panics and Black Fridays, aud black failures and suicides aud social unrest. It is surely worth while to in quire into the methods of Wall Street if its operations can result in the loss of place aud income, and the locking up of the savings, of even the humblest workers, iu remote corners of our country. If Wall Street ran at will decree high I rices or low, and w ith them pro perity or adversity lor us all, is it not time that the people should tee to it that undue and unrestrained power is not lodged in the hands of a few, that tbe game they play is a fair one, aud that tbe livelihood of all of us is not imperiled by uufair or gambling methodi-f Tbe followiug extracts are made from the February and March issues: A "Harriiiian market," a "Stand ard Oil market," mid a "Morgan market" each differs from the others In important respects, be cause of different manipulative tuc ties. Behind each one you would fiud, if you knew where to look for it, a tremendous battery of tele phon -w A Ilarriman market is lirill.-.it, daring, prolific of inci dents, lull of the unexpected, and often very dangerous. It was a llariiman market tbat collapsed so disastrously iu the autumn of l'.HIli. wheu the rates for the use of money became prohibitive. Tbe bull mar ket which liegan iu l!ot really cul minated iu Jaiunry of lwiti, when most of the big bull iuterests, in cluding the Morgau people, hav ing held their positions doggedly through a money stringency iu the preceding autumn which caused call rates to reach 100 per cent, cleaiied up anil stood from under. The Harriiiian group hud a big conn" in view and intended, by tbe tremendous e fleet of increasing the I'uiou Pacific dividend to ten tier cent aud placing Southern Pa cific common on a dividend basis for the first time iu its histoiy, to have control of the market dm iug the summer aud make the heaftt howl. Money had tieeu very tight in the preceding autumn aud would be tighter iu the autumn to come, but rates would be somewhat re laxed during the summer, and, moreover, there was the Union Pa cific treasury to fall back upon. The I uion Pacific Company at tbat time bad an enormous cash fund, resulting from the sale of its holdings of Northern 1'ueillc and Great Northern stocks, aud was lending its cash balances on call in Wall Street to Mr. Harriman and his associates. They lielicved that tbey had provided against all con tingencies, and so they had against all which could be foreseen; but iu the spring came the Sau Francisco disaster, which so upset things that they were thrown back at least two mouths in their plans. That made it impossible for them to execute their campaign during the summer, as they had intended, and they were obliged to recast it llie risks were enormously increased by having to curry it into the early autumn, when money would again Itccome very tight 1 bey brought out their ucs (the I'nion Pacific and Southern I'acilic dividends) iu August, and carried prices very high during the first fortnight of September. The consequences are historic. There is nothing more sordid in Wall street than the use that is made in the stock market by iu-siders-fdlrectors, bankers, and their like) of information accessible only to themselves. They have the first information of changes in earnings; they are able, to anticipate divi dend changes months ahead; they know what financial transactions are impending, as, for instance, an increase of stock. If they made use of their knowledge in adiiect way, as by buying on favorable develop ments or selling on those of an un rtel Wooi's Seeds for The Garden 6 Farm.

But wben, being iu pos srssion of favorable kuuw ledge, tbey begin by manipulating the stock down to induce others to sell that they may buy more easily, or, on unfavorable knowledge, pursue tbe upiioaite tactics, it is iudefeu- sible. This sort of thing, however, is so iiiucn lakin lor gnauieu tbat pro- getting iiimn-ll talked alwut so feNsiomtl Slock Kxrhauge traders much in such a short time as that habitually sell a stock on any fa- j worthy. It will lie muruils-red voralile announcement which the that Cline came herefrom Mates insiders must have known was com- j bum, (ia., nearly 1.' mouths ago ing. Why? Because tbe insiders , aud opened a veterinary olhee. have piolmbly loaded up with stock He had not Iieen iu Wadesboro at lowr prices and will tow be long w ben he was arrested on war willing to sell. Hence the axiom: 'rants from Statesboro charging him "Sell on good news; the insiders I with carrying concealed weasus have discouuted it Buy ou Iwd land defrauding. After a long tight news, and for tbe same reason." To be right the (Hid time in five is all that any eierieuced specu lator hoiea for. The margin lie tween profit aud loss ia very slen der. 'No less an authority than Jrmes K. Keeue has said: "With all the money I speud for informa tion slid with All the eiiienee I have, the best that I can do is to be right four times in seven. If I could be right three times in Jive, I would have more money than I should know what todo w ith." The dillerence between four times iu seven, bis average, and three times n five, which was more than he could expect, is once in thirty-five times. Ponder this well, ye w ho wonder why you lose money iu Wall Street ! What chance have you for tbe odd time in live, which satisfies the pro fessional, against meu who com maud tbe machinery of manipula tion, have all the information brst, aud a great dual of the time control the news that makes prices go up and dowu' The enginery of manipulation cousists largely of telephones. On seeing the interior of a big manip ulator a plant for the first tune, one might U-lieve that it consisted w holly of telephoues. Two small rooms, one furnished with some chairs, a tuluV, a stock ticker, a uews ticker, and a shelf of Finan cial Chronicles which are never opened; and one furnished with telephoues tbat is all the plant atiy otera'or needs. He would uot kuow what to do with more. V lib tbe telephoues there is room for a book keeper or two. The telephones, twenty of them, thirty of them, uiaylie more, ruu in a row around the wall. They communicate di rectly with the brokers who re ceive and execute tue manipula tor's orders. F'-nder this matter of the tele phones and you gel the key to the w hole thing. The capacity of one telephone is practically unlimited if you desire merely to buy or sell stocks iu a direct simple manner. Just think bow much stock you could buy or sell over one wire iu the course of the day if you were straightforwardly investing money iu securities which you wished to buy aud keep, or selling invest ment securities out of which you wanted your money Iwck ! Why, then, twenty or thirty telephones ail in a row in one room, all com municating directly with brokers, for no other purpose than to trans mit orders to brokers and receive their reportsf There you have it. Wbyt iiecause the manipulator's business is neither direct, straight forward, nor simple. He deals in what doesn't exist; he creates a market today where there was none yesterday and may be none tomorrow; he must give the market the impression tbat he is buying or selling heavily when, iu fact, lie is doing the reverse; he must scatter his orders so that none may follow what he is really doing; he sends ten brokers into the mar ket to sell what he has sent per bsps one other iu to buy. He plays upon his telephones as a musician plays upon the keys of a piano, Teuof them may communicate with brokers known in the Street as of a highly speculative class, aud two may communicate witn conserva tive brokers whose relations w ith certain "banking iuterests' cause the Stock hxchange to attach im portance to the orders they rxe cute. Then if the manipulator should waut to sell stock without depressing the market uuiluly, he might distribute over the ten tele phones orders to sell 50,000 shares of stock, and over the two "con servative" wires ordeis to buy '.'5, 000 shares of the same stock. The Stock Exchange would see a lot of rash brokers selling heavily and two very strong houses buying steadily, and the report would go ! forth: "The selling is evidently ol a speculative character, and tbe buying looks good. It is probably a iK-ar drive at the stogk."
