Broker Taleott, Who Leaves Wall Street With Heavy Winnings. Edward B. Taleott, the New York broker who has made a round million iollars in Wall street since Ang. 1, is a boyish looking man, who looks as if he might possibly be 80, but who is really ten years older than that. Mr. Taleott is a typical Wall street man in appear ance. He is as well groomed as a crack trotter and always has the air of look- EDWARD B. TALCOTT. ing well satisfied with himself and everything in general. , Probably he is. He has the reputation of being one of the coolest operators who ever watched the market bob np and down daring a panic. Bnt all successful Wall street men have this said about them. It was his faith in a speedy and suc cessful end of the war that enabled him to make such a vast amonnt in Bach a short time. He foresaw that the mo ment hostilities ceased and peace was in sight there woald be began a ball movement such as "the street" had sel dom seen. Acting on this conclusion, he bought stocks right and left. The stocks in Which he dealt advanced, jnst as he thought they would, on an aver age of 21 points. About two weeks ago Mr. Taleott unloaded, resigned from the firm with which he was connected and announced that he was going to take his million and leave "the street" for good. His friends predict that in a month or two he will be back on the floor, for there is a fascination about the game which few men have been able to resist Mr. Taleott began his career in Wall street in 1874 as a clerk in his father's office. Six years later he bought a seat on the Stock Exchange for $17,000. borrowing the money from his father. He had accumulated a fortune of about $300,000 when he made his recent big winning. Mr. Taleott has been a patron of sports for 15 years. He was treasurer of the New York Baseball club during its most successful seasons. He has been prominent in many campaigns as a heavy bettor on election results, and it is said that ho has handled and placed more big bets than any other man in Wall street. SMALL, BUT NERVY. Engineer Who Run the Fast Mall Two Miles In a Minute. In one of the heats of the first trip of the fast transcontinental mail from New York to San Francisco the truin struck a two mile a minute gait, which is a record breaking performance. The man who was at the throttle during this phenomenal spurt was Jerry Jack' son, the midgot engineer who runs the Chicago and Northwestern's flior be tween Chicago and Omaha. Jerry weighs but 115 pounds and is less than fi feet in height. But the midget drove tho giant engine over the tortuous track that winds among the JKHHl JACKSON. hills and bluffs skirting the Missouri liver in tbe phenomenal time of two miles per minute. This record was made for the 2.4 miles between siding X and Arlon, just before the train dashed into Council Bluffs, on the morning of Jan. 8. The actual running time for this distance was caught by two stop watches. This means that Jerry Jackson drove his engine at the rate of 120 miles an hour, faster than the fastest fast record on the rails in this or any other coun try. It was faster than the Pennsyl vania railroad's famous performance of August, 1805, when it sent a train 5.1 miles in three minutes, or 103 miles an hour. It was faster, too, than the fast est time ever made by tho New York Central in any of the spurts of speed at tempted by its giant engines. The Cen tral's speed record for a short dlstanco is one mile in 82 seconds, or 112.6 miles an hour, made in May, 1898, at Orimea Tille. . MATRON AND MAI 9. Mr Phil Armour, Jr., has a collection of 8,000 exquisite ohlna plates. Among this season's debutantes In Washington Is Miss Virginia Evans, daughter of "Fighting Bob" Evans. Miss Maria Jeffreys, who died in Lon don recently at the age of 81, was a grand daughter of Charles Wesley, the hymnod 1st. It was Miss Helen Gould who gave 11350,000 for a library for the University of Kew York throe years ago, requesting thut Hie donor's name be not made public. Mrs Langtry is one of the five owners t)f race horses In England who have won between 25,000 and $30,000. .But this tunount is regarded as a very small total (or a stable of such dimensions as hers. In an interview following the soorohing of her eyebrows on Vesuvius, Bernhardt laid: ''Americans behave in the theater as though in church. They listen in reli gious silence, though they are quick to catch a point and generous with app'ause. I adore them, " The Countess Balsch, who diet! the other day at Jassy, was the last of the old Rou manian nobility. She was a notorious miser and lived on almost nothing, al though after her death no less than 1,650,- 000 francs in cash was found Becreted in various parts of her house. Mrs. Mary A. Llvermore has been giv ing a courao of lectures in Bostou to young women, which was said to contain a vast amount of "sound, solid and practical common sense. " She is almost fourscore years old, but her mind, says the Boston Herald, is as clear and her head as level as they make them. Mrs. Hamilton Fish of New York gave as Christmas gifts to the rough riders handsome pocketknlvos in fine cases, which in turn were inclosed in chamois skin covers. On one side of each knife is a silver plate Inscribed with the name of the recipient and the line "Souvenir of Sergeant Hamilton Fish." Miss Mary Gregg of St Louis, being de sirous of marrying Joseph H. Dillon, and being heiress to a considerable fortune, left her by an uncle on condition that she does not ohange her namo, the difficulty has been neatly solved by the changing by legal process of the name of the prospective husband to Joseph H. Dillon Gregg. Tho reigning queen of song in St. Pe tersburg is the Countess Botska, a Polish noblewoman whose appearance on the lyrio stage is duo to the persuasion of Paderewskt, who thought it a pity to keep her rare gifts for private life only. She is A born artist, but like, Jenny Lind, thinks stage triumphs unsatisfactory compared to the happiness of homo life. The election of Miss Josie Kates, says the Atlunta Constitution, as general man ager of tho Kates Baggage company of Atlanta is a compliment worthily bestow ed. She is a young woman of sterling worth and is thoroughly familiar with all the details of the business. She has a host of friends throughout the city who will be glad to hear of her promotion in this special field. FRUIT AND FLOWER. No farm Is complete without a good orchard. Keep an eye to tho future shape of the tree and timely remove all small, needless crossing or crooked limbs. Give the house plants as much light as possible during the day and darkness with a lower temperature at night Old geraniums having a tendency to bloom profusely should be stripped of half their buds as soon as they appear. If the roots of a tree are frozen and thawed out of the ground or are in contact with the air, the tree will be killed. A small, thrifty troo with plenty of roots when set out will make a good tree sooner than a lurge one with mutilated roots. Peach and plum trees are less liable to disease when grown In tho poultry yard. At tho same tiino they afford shade for tho fowls. A tight sod around growing trees does not give them a ehauco to develop. Keep a small circle around tlio stem soft and mellow. Quinces, gnipps, lilii. kl errles. raspber ries, gcosohciTics and cm runts are nil readily i ropngaicd by cutting. NowUa good time lor tiiis work.fcUchiMiiM. THE NEW CUBA.

About a league distant from the town of Tandll, says London Sketch, stands a famous rocking stone, weighing 870 tons, so nicely poised that it rocks In the wind and may be made to crack a walnut.
