THE GOSSIP OF GOTHAM.
The New Confidential Adviser of
President Cleveland.
Yachting' to Be Tabooed —Details of
the Incident That Broke Up That
Vanderbilt Party.
Copyright.
' New York, Sept. 15.—When President
Cleveland makes a new friend, the signifi
cance cf the fact is not likely to be un
derestimated. Indeed, as far as New
York politicians of eminence are con
cerned, the chief magistrate is watched
‘•v
chief justice fullfr. Chief Justice of
the United States is very rarely a politi
cal factor. Administrations may come
and they may go, but the supreme court
goes on forever. Not often does any
President constitute any member of that
august tribunal his personal adviser. But
within the past few weeks a decided
change has been effected, and Melville
W. Fuller is now doubly great.
He and the President had their first
very notable confab not long before the
date of that much-quoted letter to Chair
man Wilson. Subsequently they were
noticed in each other’s company on vari
ous occasions, and it was declared that
. these conferences were invariably fol
lowed by some note-worthy public act of
Mr. Cleveland. ,
It required no great stretch of the in
ductive faculty for the observers to con
clude that Mr. Cleveland had appointed
an extra official adviser. It was asserted
that the chief justice had delayed his de
parture for Maine, where he was to pass
the summer, purely on account of Mr.
Cleveland’s wish to see him on some im
portant matters. Another theory is that
the President wishes to cement his not
too cordial relations with Adlai E. Stev
enson through the intervention of the lat
ter’s warm friend, Mr. Fuller. The de
termination of the Illinois democrats to
boom Mr. Stevenson has disconcerted
eastern members of the party, and it has
been said that the Vice President has
been promised another term if he will
swing nis followers into line for a man
after Cleveland’s heart. . *
Be this as it may, it seems certain that
something is afoot, something out of the
ordinary, and in which the chief justice is
concerned. The only cause for anxiety
expressed by New Yorkers is that a con
spiracy appears to be hatching to give the
democratic presidential nomination to a
westerner. This booming of western
availability is declared to be Cleveland’s
way of heading oil Hili. At any rate,
Chief Justice Fuller is a sudden and
power in politics.
TO YACHT NO MQRE.
Yachting has become suddenly very un
fashionable. The veritable craze for it
which ravaged New York’s plutocratic cir
cles has quickly subsided in view of a sud-
den lively and
super s t i t i o u s
dread of its un
lucky con se
- The dif
ficulties of the
Vanderbilt fam
ily reached a cli
max during that
famous cruise on
the Valiant. The
incident which
precipitated the
crisis has yet to
be related in de
tail. It seems
that by the time
the party of Go-,
tham revellers”
had reached the<
Mediterranean, a'
well defined im-,
pression pr e
vailed that Mr.
and Mrs. William
K. Vanderbilt tention.
were not on the best of terms. One eve
ning the whole party assembled for
dinner. Mrs. Vanderbilt announced
that the yacht would change
her course and proceed toward
the coast of Africa. Mr. Vanderbilt,
from the accounts of this mel
ancholy difference now current in the
Dlutocratlo precincts of the metropolis,
had already arranged for a cruise along
the southern shores of Europe. This cir
cumstance he announced with more dis
regard of his wife’s wishes than seemed
becoming, and as some sort of Justifica
tion, he said that “the party” would like
this course better. Mrs. Vanderbilt is
reported as having retorted that, from
personal inquiry, she knew her guests to
be otherwise inclined. The embarrassed
members of the party thus found them
selves a sort of marital battling ground.
Mr. Vanderbilt did not have aboard his
fidus Achates, the man who for years has
kept the peace in this distracted house
hold. There seems to have been an ani
mated exchange of personal opinions be
tween the multi-millionaire and his wife,
and as a result Mrs. Vanderbilt arose
from the table and swept away to her
stateroom. She never again appeared at
a meal aboard the Vigilant while her hus
band was at table. It is further reported
that when the haughty lady left the
dinner in scorn, the other female mem
bers of the party went off with her.
This, however, was not meant as an inti
mation that they sided with the hostess,
but rather as a tribute to appearances,
being meant as an ordinary departure
from the meal, that the men might enjoy
the wine and cigars. But, of course, the
party was broken up, and all straggled
back to New York as best they might.
It is further whispered that not a few of
them are quite indignant at thus being
dragged so far away from home on a
cruise meant to be long, and for which
they sacrificed many engagements to
make, only to disband amid scenes of dis
cord.
The other great yachting expedition of
the year, that of the Goulds, seems to be
likewise unlucky. Mrs. Gould is said to
be alarmed over the health of her eldest
son and anxions to remain in Europe on
his account. But Mr. Gould wants to
cpme home. As for John Jacob Astor,
when he goes yachting, he runs into all
manner of craft, and nearly sank a ferry
boat in the North river on one occasion
No. yachting is ip bad odor among rich
New Yorkers.

THE WEEKLY NEWS (TWO-TIMES-A-WEEK): THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 20. 1894.
The plans are expected to resell New
York before many weeks, the architect
ure being of ancient basilican style, very .
unusual in the metropolis of the world.
The Pontiff is quoted as having ex
pressed, through the medium of a letter
to Mgr. Satolli, his conviction that the
Catholics in the United States will con
tribute liberally to' the undertaking.
Those who have seen Constantine’s
Church of St. Peter, at Rome, can form
a very correct idea of what the new
cathedral will look like when completed.
The corner-stone is to be laid next June,
it is announced, and the edifice will seat
8,000 persons, and there is to be a great
monastery connected with it.
The building of this immense structure
is additionally impressive as being the,
first occasion in years that the Roman
Catholic world has been asked to unite in
an international undertaking.
CYCLING GIRLS.
To such lengths has the passion for
cycling in New York been carried that
the streets are at times positively unsafe.

more and more wonderful. The<old-fash
ioned blue is giving way .to
the scarlatine blouses and white

women are likewise cyclists, the newest
costumes come from Paris, and in not a
few instances are worth hundreds of dol
lars. It being reported that Mrs. Cleve
land has announced her intention of in
vesting in the newest thing in the shape
of a bicycle, the fame which such a course
on her part will confer on the wheeled
machine may be expected to spread the
epidemic. As it is, one of the serious prob
lems before New Yorkers is this question
of the bicycle girl and her tendency to
ride rough shod, or, more correctly, air
tired, over the rights of her fellow crea
tures. |

profession. Most competent theatrical
authorities look forward to a very pros
perous season, a fact which speaks vol
umes for the general return of better
times. Alf Hayman, the guardian of the
Frohman theatrical interests and one of
the best forecasters of a season in the pro
fession, deems the outlook very bright.
Rarely have so many elaborate combina
tions been preparing to take the road, and
the amounts invested in them are quite
large. Now it is certain that experienced
managers would not put these heavy
sums into companies of one kind and an
other without feeling sure beforehand of
some substantial return. The fact that
the country at large is deemed a good

NEW YORKERS SEE SNAKES.
Quite a taste for snakes of all kinds has
been developed among New Yorkers.
There is now a thriving trade in them
carried on by various dealers, and the
more dangerous ‘
varieties, such as
the boa, the can
nibal king and
the long constric
tors, sell most
readily. More

| almost anything with a fierce serpentine
monster brought him the other day an
offer from a well known amusement man

charmer. Higby says he feels insulted.
Some of these snakes cost very large
sums, and only the wealthy can take up
the hobby to any extent. However, those
who fear the reptiles in the fiesh, are
making up for it by having serpentine de
signs introduced into their home decora
tions. It is not likely that this newly
aroused passion for snakes will last long,
for New Yorkers are quickest to wearv

trates the tendencies now prevailing to

A GREAT POKER CAME.
The Plan to Play it This Autumn in a
Great Tourney.
Thousands in a Jack Pot—What
Famous Men Have to Say on the
Subject.
(Copyrighted).
New York, Sept. 15.—Poker playing has
never involved anything like a severe
mental strain, whatever may be said of
its effect upon the nervous system. The
literature of the game has heretofore
largely consisted of anecdotal fragments
calculated rather to elucidate the deport
ment of the great in crises of one kind or
another than to afford material for the
pages of the scientific historian. Now,
however, we are on the eve of a revolu
tion fully as momentous in its way as is
that of the earth upon its axis. The
learned societies whose transactions af
ford such delight to all whose livelihood
is connected with the size of printers’
bills will find a rival in the movement
which seems destined to reach a climax
in the assembly of a poker conclave and
I J kJ \
The Final Bout.
congress, of which the published pro
ceedings will mark an epoch in the use of
jack pots.
The whole affair had its origin in the
merest trifle, but so did the Punic wars,
for that matter. It was to a New York
enthusiast that the idea first occurred of
a prearranged series of poker games
played in different cities throughout the
country by parties of local chip redeem
ers. To take one town only, say Buffalo.
Six poker players have a game on an
evening to be selected. Each man has $2
in the pot and it takes $5 to open. There
being sl2 in the game to start with, it
follows that were four only to stay in at
the opening there would be SB2 tp • win at 1
the very lowest. Nor need it be pointed
out to a tryo in the game that endless.
contingents might arise in which the pots
would much exceed that sum. However, J
let it go, as they say on Ctoney Island, at
SB2.
Now, under the terms of the compact as
arranged, poker players all over the Union
would have united in these little games.
The winner of each does not, however,
pocket his earnings. The $32 in every
case is reserved for a grand fund made up
by the hundred odd games so played
throughout the country. That would
make $8,200 in all. The winning hundred
would meet in convention and arrange for
a new set of winners. Twenty games of
five players each would be organized.
Each man must put up $2 to a jack-pot as
before, with $5 to open. The limit, it
should be stated, is $5 all the way through
this series of games.
Well, then, there would be a $lO pot in
every instance and twenty of them at
that. Three men on an average stay in
the game when the jack pot is opened.
That would give twenty $25 jack pots or
-yr
To a New York Enthusiast the Idea First
Occurred.
SSOO more to add to the original sum of
$3,200.
The twenty men who come out of this
second ordeal as winners now form an
other series of five games of four players
each. Needless to say there would be an
adjournment between each series long
enough to settle differences of opinion be
tween gentlemen and to deter
mine the choice of a referee,
whose (decision in all cases must
be final. But when the twenty
survivors get together for their five
games under the same terms as have pre
viously prevailed, it follows that $2 from
each man and $5 to open would mean
$8 at least as the pot in each. Five times
$lB gives S9O to swell the sum in hand al
ready.
Now comes the final bout. The five vet
erans who thus come out of these various
ordeals sit down together to a glorious
final game. The pot would be $3,200, plus
SSOO, plus S9O. or $8,<90. It would still be
a jack, with $2 apiece to come in, or $lO in
all, making $3,800 to start the game with.
The limit is still $5. The winner of this
final pot pockets all the money.
But it was Willis B. Hawkins, king of
! poker pots and advertising columns,
! whose bluffs have made his name a house
hold word wherever such things as raises
are known, who not only expressed bound
less enthusiasm over the tournament to
come, but perfected a plan under which
the contest will take place, and which, as
will be seen, materially changes the as
pect of the contest as originally outlined.
Here is what the editor of “Brains” said:
“The initial work of the great national
jackpot has not all been done as yet, but I
it has progressed so far that I can give ■
you a comprehensive outline of the games
as they will be played. I propose to di- J
vide the United States into six grand dis
tricts. Each of these will be subdivided,
and each of these subdivisions again sub
divided, and so on until the smallest sub
divisions shall represent a population of
not more than 10,000. Games will be
played simultaneously in each of the
smallest subdivisions at a date set
by the governing committee. The
six men in each of these sub
divisions who shall first make
application (with a self addressed
envelope enclosed), will be appointed
to play the game for their subdivision.
Each of these shall ante $2, making the
jackpot of that district aggregate sl2.
The winner of this jackpot shall own all
winnings above the original sl2 in the
jackpot. This sl2 will not belong to him,
but must be anted by him in the game to
be played by the second district, com
posed of six subordinate districts. That
is to say, the six players of the second
district will ante sl2 each, making a jack
pot of $72, and this rule shall hold eood
for all the ascending districts until the
final grand national jackpot is played,
when the winner takes the entire contents
of the pot, plus whatever he can win from
the other five luckiest poker delegates in
America.”
Mr. Hawkins was then asked for.an
estimate of the amount of the final pot.
The great poker sage of the Tribune build
ing replied heartily:
‘‘Oh, bless you, any poker player can
figure that out. I don’t mind intimating
that the winner of the last pot can write
his check in eight figures on velvet.”
It is superfluous to indicate how limit
less a field this concatenation of conclaves
affords to the world of poker players. It
opens up a territory in the domain of
jackpots that has never been explored.
Consider, too. the endless variety of
which the scheme is susceptible. The
original $2 of each player may be made
$lO. a sum which would seem a bagatelle
to legions of players since the final pot

would equal $20,000, and the cost of being
a competitor in the final game would not
exceed SIOO. As all Americans know,
many a man has “dropped” $5,000 in one
game of poker.
“It is glorious, glorious!” exclaimed
Bernhard Gillman, whose genius as a car
toonist does not prompt him to despise
the delights of poker. “When such a
scheme as that is put in operation, as it
surely will be, we may expect such a
wave of popular enthusiasm for poker as
will cause it to become the game of
games. The idea is so simple, yet so
grand, that one wonders it has never oc
curred to anybody before. But that is
the way with all truly great inventions.
Their simplicity is their main character
istic!’,’
“Is poker still worthy of being styled
our national card game?” the eminent
cartoonist was askea.
“Undoubtedly. The fact that its great
simplicity does not involve any intricacy
in pay, and the quiet proceedings of its
devotees have not caused it to figure very
much as a factor iu public discussion
Yet how much we owe to the game after
all! Without poker there would have

“Then we have the poker story. Our
congressmen and actors owe their greatest
fame to the narrative power with which
they relate poker experiences. Yes.”
concluded the artist, reflectively, “I
think this new idea will make history. It
will cause almost a poker craze, when,
too, admission could be charged to see
these games. The public would flock to
witness such play, especially for a jack
pot of thousands of dollars. The gate re
ceipts would pay expenses.”
It is among actors that the tournament
to come arouses most interest.
“You can bet your life,” declared that
famous theatrical manager, Charles
Frohman. when the matter was broached
to him, “that the profession is heart and
soul in this idea. Think of the glorious
possibilities of the thing. lean just im
agine Nat Goodwin in an affair of that
sort. It would be the breath of life to
; him. He is such a lucky fellow that I
feel sure he would come out a winner.
Think of winning $5,000 or more on an in
vestment of SIOO. Very few poker re
cords could beat that. Then there is
Henry E. Dixey. That man has
a more brilliant record as a
devotee of the game than any
living man, with the possible ex
ception of Henry Watterson. In my opin
ion the coming event will be of historical
importance as tending to bring together
■ brilliant players from all over the coun
' try. Moreover, there are certain moot
points in the game which have never teen
settled and which the tournament could
determine once for all. How come it, I
wonder, that while we have had whist
I tournaments and euchre conclaves, the
i devotees of poker have never come to
gether in national council? Well, we will
' change all that it seems, and I am glad of
it.”
“What is your experience of the effects
of poker playing on actors?” “I have
noticed that the best actors are lovers of
the game. If you go over a list of the
great names in ‘the profession, you will
find that they are nearly all fond of a good
game of poker.”
The observation of Mr. Frohman ap
plies with equal force to many other
walks of life. Even John G. Carlisle
varies the burdens of the Secretaryship
of the Treasury by taking a hand in a
lively round.
Os course, this series of games cannot
be arranged without some preliminary
negotiation. It will require considerable
correspondence to inugurate the first
play, but any party of six is eligible, and
the stakes must be sent to the committee
selected by general consent. Let, at the
latest, this autumn or winter witness the
final contest, the winner of which may be
pardoned for regarding as a mere babe in
arms that popular character, the man
who broke the bank at Monte Carlo.
A BELGIAN MANDARIN.
The Romantic Career of Chinese Cus
tom Official.
While the young American bicyclists,
Messrs. Allen andSachtelben, were cross
ing the desert of Gobi, they heard much of
a mysterious and powerful official called
the Ling Qarin. No one could tell who or
what he was. Finally, as they emerged
from the desert, starved, ill, and ragged,
they were met by a richly dressed man
darin, according to the story they tell in
the September number of the Century.
He greeted them cordially in clear but
broken English, and, mounted on waiting
horses, they were attended into the city
of Su-chou. “It was some time before
the idea flashed/across our minds that
this might indeed be the mysterious Ling
Darin about whom we had heard
so much. ‘Yes,’ said he, ‘that is what I
am - called here, but my real name is
Splingard.’ He then went on to tell us
that he was a Belgian by birth; that he
had traveled extensively through China,
as the companion of Baron Richthofen,
and had thus become so thoroughly ac
quainted with the country and its people
that, on his return to the coast, he had
been offered by the Chinese government
the position of custom mandarin at Su
chou, a position just then established for
the levying of duty on the Russian goods
passing in through the northwest prov
inces ; that he had adopted the Chinese 1
dress and mode of living, and had
even married, many years ago, a Chinese
girl educated at the Catholic schools in
Tien Tsin.
“We were so absorbed in this romantic
history that we scarcely noticed the
crowds that lined the streets leading to
the Ling Darin’s palace, until the boom of
a cannon recalled us to our situation.
From the smile on the jolly face beside us
we knew at once whom we could hold re
sponsible for this reception. The palace
gates were now thrown open by a host of
servants, and in our rags and tatters we
rolled at once from tne 'hardships of the
inhospitable desert into the lap of luxury.
“A surplus is not always so easily dis
posed of as a deficit—at least we were in
clined to think so in the case of our Su
chou diet. The Ling Darin’s table,which,
for the exceptional occasion, was set in
the foreign fashion with knives and
forks, fairly teemed with abundance and
variety. There was even butter, made
from the milk of the Tibetan yak, and
condensed milk for our coffee, the first we
had tasted since leaving Turkey, more
than a year before. The Ling Darin in
formed us that a can of this milk, which
he once presented to Chinese friends, had
been mistaken for a face cosmetic, and
was so used by the ladies of the family. '
The Ling Darin’s wife we found an excel
lent and even artistic cook, while his
buxom twin daughters could read and
write their own language—a rare accom
plishment for a Chinese woman.
“As guests of our highly respected afad I
even venerated host, we were visited by 1
nearly all the magistrates of the city.
The Ling Darin was never before com
pelled to answer so many questions. In ■
self-defense he was at last forced to get '
up a stereotyped speech to deliver on each
social occasion. The people, too, besieged
the palace gates, and clamored for an ex
hibition. Although our own clothes had
been sent away to be boiled, we could not
plead this as an excuse. The flowing
Chinese garments which had been pro
vided from the private wardrobe of the
Ling Darin' fluttered wildly in the breeze,
as we rode out through the city at the
appointed hour. Our Chinese shoes, also,
were constantly slipping off. ana as we
raised the foot to re-adjust them, a shout
went up from the crowd for what they
thought was some fancy touch in the way
of riding.”
A BALL OF FIRE.
The Storm at Chicago Accompanied by
a Novel Display.
From the Philadelphia Press.
Chicago, Sept. 10.—One of the Rarest of
meteorological phenomena was one ob
served in Austin, just outside of the city
limits last evening. Out of the black thun
der cloud that overhung the town fell a
blazing ball of fire, which struck in front
of the residence of Rev. E. C. Towne, 5,942
Midway Park. Its descent through the
atmosphere was accompanied by most
vivid displays of lightning. In the eround
where the fire ball struck was torn a hole
more than a foot wide, and of consider
able depth. The earth was riven for some
distance near this excavation, and the
soil was hurled away from the base of an
elm tree close by.
This curious and yet terrific manifesta
tion of electrical energy in the air was
seen by many persons. The afternoon
had been sultry, and during the evening
great masses of black clouds came up
from the west and southwest. Suddenly
their came an unusually sharp peal of
thunder—not the deep roll that is so often
heard, but a crackling crash, which
sounded as though the sky were of glass,
and had been shattered by a mighty blow
and the fragments were tumbling in mad
ruin to the earth beneath.
At the same instant the lightning
leaped from point to point, clothing every
object in a blaze of intense white light,
which changed in the twinkling as an eye
to blackness. At this moment the fire
ball fell. It came through the air with a
hissing sound just as a thunder crash
shook the earth. It fell on the ground
near an elm tree, a few feet from the
residence of Rev. E. C. Towne, who was
a spectator of the wonderful phenomenon.
LIGHTNING GAVE BIER SPEECH.
A Little Girl’s Hearing and Voice
Restored by a Miraculous Bolt.
< From the Philadelphia Record.
Winfield, L. 1., Sept. 9.—A bolt of light
ning, which struck John Zelinka’s house
last night, restored as if by miracle the
hearing and voice of Mary Fisher, 13
years old, who had been deaf and dumb
over eight years.
The bolt went through a two-foot brick
wall into the dining-room, where Mr. Ze
iinka. Mrs. Fisher and her little girl were
discussing the storm. It passed between
Mrs. Fisher and Mary. The two sat mo
tionless several seconds, when the little
girl got up, and, pointing her finger to
her ear, said:
“Mamma. I hear that. Let's go home.’’
This is the first time, it is said, that she
has spoken since an attack of scarlet
fever left her deaf and speechless.
