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. CATHOLICS OF NEW TORK TO SUBSCRIBE. The wealthy Catholics of New York, and there are a great many of them, are prei.a>’ng to contribute liberally to the nr m all christendom, and the site purchased oy Cardinal Man ning during his ecclesiastical activity for aometbing like #27b.OiX). is one of the most •iuairable in Westminster. as narrowly as though he were a medieval despot surrounded by a retinue of Jealous courtiers. Who ever is suspected of hav in g a “pull” with the administration becomes a per sonage immedi ately. The very latest notability in this direction is Chief Justice Fuller. The 1 A NEW SOURCE OF CON- building of the! great cathedral in ' London, which, after being project- : . ed some thirty < X ears, is, it is an- I i * ouneed.to be un- 1 dertaken at last. ■ t he sum of $500,000 is already in hand, having been col lected throughout 4 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. It is the girl riders who are chiefly respon sible for this, w since they yield themselves so unreservedly to the seductions of the wheel as to dart about Broadway like so many mete ors. Os course, n o policeman will be as imper ative with a girl as he would be with a man. Moreover, the girls who take to the wheel are usually the daughters o f well-to-do par ents, whom it would not do to offend. The cos tume worn by these cycling feminines are al- so becoming the new terror. more and more wonderful. The<old-fash ioned blue is giving way .to the scarlatine blouses and white leggins. Now that the society 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. | BARNSTORMERS HAPPY. The arms' of tragedians out of employ ment who during the past month made New York’s Rialto a stamping ground, is gradually dwindling away as one after Sr 1 Mwl' business booming. members of the 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 field at this time for the numerous com panies shortly to go out from New York is pronounced the best possible augury for those good times sighed for so long. 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 than one Goth amite of eminence keeps a cage full of hissing ophi dians in his home. The artists were the first to take up the fad, and Charles H.Higby, the expert in dec orative art, has a whole studio full of them. They have recently conferred unique celebrity upon this young elab- favorite snake. orator of the weird, and his ability to do | almost anything with a fierce serpentine monster brought him the other day an offer from a well known amusement man ager to enter his combination as a snake 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 of any whimsical fad. But it well illus trates the tendencies now prevailing to take up anything, no matter what, that promises a relaxation from tbe boredom of living upon more money than one knows what to do with. David Wechsler. MILLIONS TO A SHOEMAKER'S WIFE. Fart of a Vast Indian Estate Falla in a Connecticut Woman's Lap. From the Philadelphia Record Norwalk, Conn., Sept. 9.—Several mil lion dollars seem to have fallen into the lap of Mrs. William Baker, wife of a stitcher in a New Canaan shoe factory. There died in England nearly twenty years ago an uncle of Mrs. Bosine Borel, who is Mrs. Baker's mother. He had accumulated an immense fortune in In dia. the estate now being valued at $42,- 000,009. There were some difficulties in the settlement, but these have at last been overcome, and Mrs. Borel recently received notice of the settlement. Mrs. torel is a native of France. She lias two sisters and a brother, and her share of the estate will exceed $19,000,000. Besides Mr*. Baker, Mrs. Borel has three chil dren. • Our cook disproves the old saying.

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 - Vv \ i vA 1 I (Orj I 7 3So 7 5 (I I £oj >»sVfLnr \ IH3IJS W ’ Vk In the Interest of Scientific Societies. 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 been no Bret inspired those immortal lines beginning: Which they had a small game And Ah Sin took a hand. ’ “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. MEDICAL.
