BUCKET SHOPS
MUTED
N. Y. Stock Exchange Pro
poses to Bind Western Union
in New Contract to Be Signed
New York —Authenticated reports that
so-called bucket shops had resumed op
erations in northern New York and some
of the New England states caused con
siderable agitation today In stock ex
change circles, particularly in view' of
the fact that a new contract is soon to
be signed between the exchange and
the Western Union Telegraph Company
for distribution of stock quotations.
The Western Union has had the
right of the sale of quotations to out
siders for many years, paying the ex
change 1100,000 annually for the conces
sion.
The exchange purposes in its new con
tract to bind ttie Western Union not to
sell its quotations to any individual,
firm or corporation until the exchange
has approved tlie application. The tel
egraph company has expressed its will
ingness to comply with this stipulation
which, in the judgment of the exchange
officials, would effectually stop all stock
quotation operations of an illicit char
acter and speedily drive existing offend
ers out of business. The old qout&tion
contract between the stock exchange
and Western Union expired over five
years ago, since which time it has been
conducted on a day to day basis.

MORNING WITH THE RECORDER
The subject of today's dissertation
Is in the same province with yester
day's. It is iinu which ought to be
served in a silver dish and embel
lished around with i arsley and muy
onnalse. But yesterday’s was so ob
scured and diluted with dressings
nud sauces that the true significance
of it escaped nearly everybody ex
cept the Pure-Minded and the Inno
cent—are always anxious to be shock
ed if possible Shocked? What does
it mean? Nobody knows. A person
can be pained, or surprised, or made
angry, or even disgusted; or all four
together for that matter; but Shock
ed? There’s no such thing, It is
not one of the Emotions, its only
a WORD.
The morning paper carried a report
of a police rai l made last, night on
the house of Anna Hulbert, colored,
on Walker Street. And this Is only
the report of what subsequently oc
curred. •
After one or two brief cases were
disposed of, Officer Hennles, In sten
torian tones, called through the guard
room door:
"Anna Hulbert, now, and nil her
crowd come up In here-”
And their coming was like the I/>-
custs descending on the land of
Hgvi t.
There were twenty-six—seventeen
men and nine women.
The judge called the roll a new
departure in the court room the only
way he could cheque up the mighty
host.
“Anna Hulbert?”
"Present!” she remarked conclu
sively.
"Carry Cooper?” “Present.”
“Frances Cummings?" “Present."
"Susie Cooper?” Silence. No an
swer.
"Susie Cooper not. here?” asked the
Judge.
Peculiar silence.
Then a solicitous suppressed voire
said :
“Say ‘present., ” and In a louder
tone: "She can’t say It. She's here,
but she tie-tongued.”
They were all there.
Carry and Frances were boarders.
Anna said the rest just dropped In
It was not a ball She had charged
no admission, sold to tickets. “It
was jest a h’oclal Intertalnment.”
One after another they a l made
their statements. The women all
said the same tiling, and so did the
men. The women: I jest went roun’
.lore to sop Carry (or Frances).” The
men: "1 was walkin’ by coinin’ sum
my work, and heard de Ple-anna, an'
dls went in to see who-all was In
dore.”
One man, Indeed, said he went to
get a suit of clothes to press lor
somebody, (he went at nine-thirty
and they were pinched at twelve
thirty), but was confident that, tills
was good and sufficient excuse to
get him off.
Another man said:
"Judge, I went down der on Prev
ious Business!’ But the business,
when looked into, did not seem to he
previous enough.
The Arresting Officer said;
"They were all in there Ringing,
dancing, hollering, playing the piano.
The people on Telfair Street all along
the block behind the house sent in
complaints about the noise.”
Now, strange to say, though each
defendant acknowledged to the dinn
ing "They wan all dancin' when I
got dere"—yet each and everyone was
sitting down. Judge, I declare f was.
A great many did not even know how
to dance.
But the Judge said It wan obvious
they were Just having another Big
Night, and, since they had been warn
ed repeatedly, he fined each and
every one or them $5 or ten days
Anna herself 'he fined $2.5 or 50 da vs
