IF IN WALL STREET, IT WAY NOT MEAN THAT HE FEELS SAFE. A Typical Seen la One of the Well Known "Uaakers and Brokers" Office With Which the Money Center of the Metrop olis Is Crowded Carrying Favor. In the interval between ths morning and afternoon ses.-ions cf tlie Stock Ei- tbanse the speculators and ojierators sat fat the broker cflice etndyii:? the ques tions aa they had been tnarieii upon the blackboard, by a junior clerk. They sjioke bet little. Some srery making mental calculations, soice were Luililing ai? castles, a few rere hngjdtis themselves with delight lcause fortune waa in their favor, and others looked grim anl en deavored to conceal their chagrin and regrets at losses by tho operations of the toornins. Xot a few were wrestling with Eassanio's j.roblxn, consiJering whether another arrow would discover that already lost. In (rambling the hope that another fling at fortune will bring her down never fades. But those who gamblti daily reco.riize that such reason ing is not sound, and where, as in W all street, all the investments are baed upon theorizing aa to cause and eSect, soine- thing more than tinreasonutg faith Lu fortune's favor is necessary to open the purse strings of its followers. Those men were veterans, and the gambler's passion was subordinated to cold calculations. An old but gay and sprightly man came upon the scene. Ho was the pro prietor of tho cfice, a big broker, widely known and very popular. He was re puted to be the possessor of grat westlih. L'pon his favor depended the fortunes of some of tho men in the chairs. Should ha withdraw it et a critical moment ther might sink out of sight overwhelmed by ruin, wrecks to be pointed out by the curious in after days as some of the "has bet ns" of Wall street. He addressed them on the subject of gold shipments, argu ing from his own view points as to their effects upon the prosperity cf the com munity. He had the manners and voice of a tturnp rpeaker. He interlarded his remarks with jokes and reminiscences and talked volubly. A handsome gra haired man, with Emooth face and erect figure, watched him anl ths others close ly. When the broker had finished anj disappeared into Lis private office, this man said quietly to the friend, a visitor, who sat Ixtiiile him: 'I know now just about how all of these men stand. Did you observe them while Jones was talking? Did yon no tice how some of them laughed loudly at his jokes, while others only smiled, and still others remained impassive? Did yoa see how those who laughed loudest strove to catch his eye, as though to say: 'See me; I appreciate your humor; I aw im pressed with your remarks. The other here may not follow yen, but I am all ears.' And the meaning of all that is that they want to curry favor with Lim and win his personal good will, so as to bank against it should they need his financial assistance. "I always pay attention to the crowd when he talks, for by observing them I can tell how much margin each is trad ing on. The man who laughs loudest and is most obsequious is very close to sinking. Ho fears he may go under any moment, and his laughter is a desperate appeal to save him. It rings in my earn like tbe cry of the drowning wretch who yells: 'Save me! Save me." I can al most see him struggling in the wares and tearing his finger nails on the glassy cides of tbe rocks against which he is dashed in his attempts to pull himself Into safety. Every time that man roars at one of Jones' jokes, and holds liis sides as though they would split, I feel a throb of sympathy for him. for I know bis case ii very desperate. The man who laughs moderately, looks knowing and has a Liirly contented expression has a fair margin cp and feels safe. But tbe man who locks at Jones with an air cf Indifference or has the courage to frown opon hiia is the object cf my deejst envy. That man reposes on a financial rock so high and bu'.iJ that an eerth quak9 would recoil from it. And, de pend upon it, every other man in this place envies him too. If they dared, they would stroke Lis coat and rub shoulders with him in the hope of gaining luck thereby. "I will never forget the sensation caused once by is man getting up hero and calling Jones loudly by his first name. That 'William still rings ia my ears. There was dead silence for fnlly a minute after it had been uttered. Every one of us expected to we the rash man struck by a thunderbolt or consumed by the withering scorn cf Jones' lightning glance. I feit my blood congeal with horror, and several of the others Uld me afterward that they looked fot some thing awfuL But Jones looked as sweet as an angel, and we all could have wor shiped tbe daring one on tho spoL He received a dozen invitations to drink within 10 minutes and was overwhelmed with oilers of cigars. His margin, I after ward discovered, was 10 per cent. There is a report that another man called Jones Bill some years ago, but I don't believe it. Ii anybody did that, it was an out gider. No customer with a proper con sideration of the possibilities of the fu ture could so far forget himself, even though his immediate conditions were moat prosperous." New York Sun. Boiling Dsn a Bpeech. An old newspaper man in Washington tells this story of Mr. Blaine: "My first experience with Mr. Blaine waa when, as correspondent for a west era pape-r 1 endeavored to get him to withdraw from the official reporU-rt of the house a speech which he had made, in order that I might make an abstract of it 'How much of this do you want to use? Mr. Blaine asked. "I replied that I thought I would send about half of it. Then I will make an abstract my blf,' said he, Teducing it one-half. I do not doubt your skill, but I want this speech boiled down by its friends.' " New York World, ATEDjSSDAY, MARCH 8, 1893. Ifear to Desik. The way the thing happened waa this: Our section had been fighting it alone in a peach orchard untU the other members cf the battery joined us, whan we moved forward and had quite a brisk engage ment with the enemy. Pur ammunition expended and our ci. B worn out, we halted at a spot in the woods to rest and to replenish our ainmuniti'on. The fighting was going on all around ns, and stray bullets were coming along past us every now aid then. I don't be lieve I was ever so tired ia my life as I was after that engagement. It was ab solutely necessary for me to take a rest, and pero-iving a huge tree near by I concluded to plant myself along side cf it. So I leaned against it with my back to the enemy's line, stretched out my feet and was having a splendid rest when a 12-pound shot came bounding along and struck the tree plumb on the oppo site side from me and at a point just be hind my hea h Well, sir, I didn't know what struck me.

TWO ElAog Ia the Months si Men Is Bad Ewoagh. bait Whea Well Bred Toaag Wewtea Are Addicted ta the Ilabtt It Beeosaea Abw lately Intolerable. Dear girls, avoid slang. There are so many reasons why you should not use it, and only one excuse in its favor that I have ever heard from any reliable au thority! Here it is: Oliver Wendell Holmes, in one cf LU racy breakfast table talks, says: "Don't think I undervalue tha proper use and application cf a cant word cr phrase. It adds piquancy to conversation as a mushroom does to a sauce." That this is the idea most young people have when they first begin to use it all will admit, but nn'ortunately it is like mod erate drinking in its Undency, so insin uating in ils growth as a habit, and they become so "addicted to if (to follow out the sinkile), that it seems impa-siblo to make themselves intelligible without it. I have heard young Lilies (T talk ing who s-?nitd to have on entire vo cabulary composed of slang which would be as utterly unintelligible to a well bred Enclish cr Scotch girl as Chinese or Greek. Toquota the veteran philosopher again: "These expressions come to be algebraic symbols of minds which have grown too weak or indolent to discriminate. They , are the blank checks ef intellectual j bankruptcy. You may fill them up with whatever i le-3 yoa like. It makes no dif ference, for there tre no funis ia the treasury upon which they are drawn.' That of cocr.?3 is very severe, but I have often heard quite clever and well educated young ladies using those odious "blank checks" to such sn extent that any one not knowing them intimately might readily have supposed their "in tellectual bank" empty. I wonder what Dr. Holmes would have thought of an actual conversation be tween two young Ladies in gxd society, so called, who sat behind me in the grand stand at a baseball match Last summer. I can give it almost verbatim: "Say, Jen (abbreviated form of Jennie: life is too short' to use the whole cf a person's name), who ii tho "y looking snide' ia the yellow striped 'get np" " "Oh, 'come off the roof!" To pretend yoa don't know Cob. (C. O. B. are the young gentleman's initials wittily con verted into Cob.) After the way you went for him at the ball lart we-'! You can't s:ufl" me with that kind cf gag. Miss Innocent" "Oh, is that Cob? He must be 'off Lis nut' to 'rig' himself in such a 'swagvr' way." "Oh. Jen, look at Cob now! He is hor ribly 'rattled.' Ma be (short for Mabel) slung a glance' at him, and he lost his head as well as Lis base." "Is she mashed on Cob?" "Ha, ha! 'Pull down your vest? Do you think Mabe is 'on her bast? She likes him to trot her round' and 'stamp up the needful for iee cream, etc., but she likes Alf Jones better 'ail the same-ee,' Yon can 'bet your sweet life' sua won't marrv Cob." "Lcs.k at him now. "You be-t he's "has tlingr " "Get there, Eli" "Ruddigorer "That was a 'boss' run!" and so on ad finiram, ad nanseum. All this ia a perfectly aucli ble voice, and they were seemingly un aware that there was anything vulgar or out cf the usual m their con vernation. Probably there was not, and yet those two young ladies were college graduates anJ were possessed of more than average abd ity. If yoa think this description exagger ated, listen critically to tha next un restrained coaver?uion between two young ladies whom yoa know to be guilty cf using fchuig freely. I Linoy I hear yoa say, "But I never coald talk tike that," Take care! Just as confi dent ones as yoa have begun ly using s few slang words "they are so cute and expressive, yoa know!" and ended by fo-ming a vulgar and em-daring habit which took great strength of mial and firm perseverance to break.

A resolution was introduced ia the city council tonight to begin a suit for dam ages, um 4 ving several hundred thousand dollars, against the Northwestern Ohio Natural Gas company, which has its wells in this county adjoining those cf the city, aai which supplies tLe city of Toledo with gas. The resolution is the result of a long study of the Lgal aspect of tho case by Mr. Alexander, who intro duced it, and upon his recommen.lation it was referred to the city solicitor, who, it is understood, is in favor of vigorous ly prosecuting the suit. As the rock pressure has gradually decreased, the Northwestern company has Lntrodaced tliree immense pumps at a station six miles from t'.e city, at a cot of &0,0CO, in order to force the gas through the 40 miles cf pipe and suck it from the ground This has greatly injured the city's territory, and the claim will be made that the use of artificial means to get the gas from nnler thi ccr.iiguon territory cf the city is illegaL Tne ques tion has never been raised ia tlie courts Findiav Cor.

Night, Two deaths froni sutFoeatioa in a burn ing dwelling have again called the atten tion of all thinking people to the fact that dwelling Louses are not provided with any practical means cf escape ia case of fire occurring in the lower floor during the night. Investigation by a re porter shows that tho law is mute on the subject t-f escapes from dwellings. Neither the laws governing the bureau cf building insprx-teJTS nor those apn'ricg to the bureaa of fire touch on the subject. Both bureaus agree ia saying that some means of exit other than the stairways should be provided, and both favor the introduction of trapiioors in the roofs a the most feasible and mnet effective plan. It ii stated on good authority that these trapdoors, while t ne of the best means of escape, cannot be found in mere thua one house in tM) oa the average through the city. Chief Baxter of the fire dvjartmeut and president of tbe bun-aa cf fire escape said: "There were l.-Ml fires last year, and 4s3 cf these were ia dwellings. Fortunately lit few people met their deaths from dwelling house fires during the year. This is not always the case, however, and I have seen quits a Lire number of fatal results from such fires the deaths a few years ago as the re suit cf the fire in the King residence at Seventeenth and Pino streets, for in stance, and many other not quite so appalling nor cf such prominence, la most of theso cuses the fatality would not havie oeen so great had s-. me means of escape, ether than stairways, be-en irovidoL "There certainly should be some new clause in our fire cca;j laws, and the most important one would be one re quiring tra;iiirs in the roof of every Loose. r some equally feasible means of txit.
