WALL STREET WAYS.
FOILED THEIR PLOT,
Methode of a Brilliant Operator of
Many Years Ago.
One of the most brilliant operators
of Wall street in the early sixties of
the last century was Walter Wellman
Morse, though he was by comparison
with some of the gray haired market
veterans only a mere boy, being Just
thirty years of age. The public con­
fidence he enjoyed made lt possible for
him to realize profits In any stock.
Such was the influence bls Indorse­
ment would carry that after he bad
accumulated stock at his prices be
could tell his dally callers that the
stock was due to go up. and immedl-
ately there would be enough profes-
sional and public buying of the stock
to send lt up, thus enabling Morse to
unload at a profit.
An example of Morse’s popularity
was illustrated In a scene accompany­
ing the opening of subscriptions for
stock In a coal mining company or­
ganized by him. The day the subscrip­
tion book was opened people flocked to
the office and fought with each other
In their efforts to enter and get their
names recorded. One man who had
subscribed for a large amount of this
stock, after getting away from the
crowd, came back and, walking up
to Mr. Morse, said, “X say, Mr. Morse,
was that gold or coal stock I sub­
scribed for?’’—Moody’s Magazine.
The Way Mme. Alboni Frustrated a
8cheme te Hiss Her.
“Once upon a time, wbeu Mme. Al­
boni was at Trieste," writes Henry C.
Lahee in "Famous Singers of Today,”
“she was Informed of the existence of
a plot to hiss her off the stage. Hav­
ing ascertained the names of her de­
tractors and where they were to be
found, she donned male attire, to
which her short balr and robust fig­
ure helped to complete her disguise,
and went to the cafe at which the
conspirators met.
Here she found
them In full consultation, and, taking
a seat at a table, she listened to their
conversation for a time. After awhile
she addressed the leader, saying: '1
bear that you intend to play a trick
upon some one. I am very fond of a
little practical Joke myself and should
be glad if you would allow me to join
you on this occasion.’
“ ‘With pleasure,’ was the reply. 'We
Intend to hiss an opera singer off the
stage this evening.’
“‘Indeed!
And of what is she
guilty r
“ Ob, nothing, except that, being an
Italian, she has sung In Munich and
Vienna to German audiences, and we
think she ought to receive some castl
gatton for her unpatriotic conduct.’
“ ‘I agree with you, and now please
tell me what I am to do.’
“ ‘Take this whistle,’ said the leader.
‘At a signal to be given at the conclu­
sion of the air sung by Roslna the
noise will begin, and you will have to
Join in.'
“ ‘I shall be very glad to do so,’ said
the singer aud put the whistle in her
pocket.
“In the evening the house was pack­
ed—every Beat was occupied—and the
audience warmly applauded the open­
ing numbers of the opera. In due
course Mme. Alboni appeared, and at
the point at which she was about to
address her tutor a few of the con­
spirators began to make a disturbance,
not waiting for the signal.
"Without showing auy concern Mme.
Alboni walked down to the footlights,
and, holding up the whistle, which
was hung to her neck by a ribbon, she
exclaimed: ‘Gentlemen, are you not a
little before your time? 1 thought we
were not to commence whistling until
I bad sung the air.'
“For a moment a deathly stillness
prevailed; then suddenly the house
broke Into thunders of applause, which
was led by the conspirators them­
selves.”

A GRATEFUL PATIENT,
The Coin That Was Measured by a
Famous Surgeon.
Dr. Grenfell; an old London hospital
pupil. In a sketch of Sir Frederick
Treves In the Pall Mall Gazette tells
the story of a tiny sovereign gold
piece given by a grateful patient to
the famous surgeon and guarded by
him as a priceless treasure. A sailor
from Norway had been operated on by
Sir Frederick In hospital. His life had
been saved, and be had gone his way.
Late one evening a timid knock
brought Sir Frederick himself at that
unusual hour to his door In Wlmpole
street. A tall, gaunt sailor in thread­
bare attire asked If this was where
“Mr. Treves lives.” At his earnest re­
quest, though somewhat under protest,
he was allowed to enter. He at once
proceeded to get out a Jackknife, and
from the lining of the belt of his trou­
sers he cut out a small gold piece and
offered lt to Sir Frederick. On his re­
fusal to accept lt the man was so hurt
that Sir Frederick listened to his story,
and an interesting one it was.
The man bad on leaving hospital
sought a berth at the London docks,
but, being a stranger, had been unable
to get one. He had got out of money
and had gone hungry day after day.
though he knew that he had sewed up
In bis waistband by his wife In Nor­
way the piece of gold in question. He
had got so pulled down by bad living
that he at last decided be must spend
the money, but that very day he suc­
ceeded In getting a berth on a ship,
and Ills advance had given the food he
stood so sorely in need of. He bad
promptly tramped all the way to Wlm­
pole street, and his bearing was such
that Sir Frederick found himself
"bowing Into the darkness, holding the
gold piece in bls hand and with an
overwhelming sense of Inferiority
strongly Impressed on bls mind.”
