Prentice dropped dead a few months ago at a faro table in a gambling resort at Toledo. He was a young man of good address, and thus closes the career of one of the best known gamblers in this country. Prentice was particularly well-known in Cincin nati on account of a long residence here, and from Maine to California he was a familial - character among showman and gamblers. Several years ago he became infatuated with a young woman who at the time was acting as a model in studies from life at Matt Morgan’s art school in this city. She was a beautiful girl of wonderful form, and it was but a short time until the two became man and wife. Their experience was most varied, and throughout she clung to him—his friend when all others had weakened and had de serted him. PRENTICE WAS A BORN GABBLER. He has made some of the most phenome nal winnings on record, and they have in variably been what is known as "scratch” winnings—that is, big sums won from mere nothing. His death is a fitting end to an eventful life. Born of good parentage, he first saw the light of day in an Eastern city. Early his family moved to Kansas City, and his father arose to prominence in that place. He was one of the first Mayors the city had and served for years as the chief executive of Kansas City. Charley never knew nor appeai-edto realize the Value of money. He. has made during the past fifteen years, in his way, fortunes, but they wilted away, as ho often expressed it, like a June frost before a September sun. He was a perfect fiend against gambling, and would let go his last cent as readily as though he had a million to back it. It was with him quail one day and nothing the next. Many stories are told of HIS REMARKABLE WINNINGS. Probably as good an instance as any is this: About two years ago Prentice walked into No. 208 Vine street. He soon lost his all, which amounted to S3OO. Then, notwithstanding that it was in the dead of winter, he pawned his overcoat for $lO more. That went with the rest. He was without hope of raising a cent. Meet ing a friend he walked over to Thilly’s sa loon, at Longworth and Vine, to take a drink. His friend, knowing his condition, gave him the change out of a silver dollar, after the drinks nad lieen paid for. It amounted to 80c. Before Prentice quit that succeeding morning the S3OO was won back, the overcoat was out of “soak,” and he had SOSO in good hard cash in his pocket. This is the only one instance of the many. A thousand could be told. From a 10c. piece in Chicago h<> pulled out $2,500. In New York city at one time he STARTED IN ON SEVENTY-FIVE CENTS, and quit over SIO,OOO winner. But it all went almost as fast as it was won. He traveled with some of the best known circuses in the country. Asa ticket seller he was an adept, probably one of the sleek est in the business. His chances for making money were great, and it was a poor season that he did not earn $6,000. At the end of the season, however, he was invariably with out money. Whenever the show stopped at a town where gambling was allowed that was the last seen of Prentice. It was probably three or four days later when he would turn up, always broke. His affability and shrewdness saved him. though, and, where others would have been dis charged, bis faults were overlooked. He scarcely ever failed to lose WHEN HE HAD MONEY, And was a sure winner when he had but little. There probably never was a higher roller in all ways—against the ‘ tiger,” ovor the saloon bar or against bis friends. His only desire, it appeared, to have money was to spend it with his friends or those to whom he took a liking. When he had plenty and could gamble, he sought no company, but would spend his hours before the gambling table. When be could not gamble it did not appear to trouble him in the least. He sought his acquaintances. The more the merrier, and the world moved faster while he was in their midst. His was A WONDERFULLY CHECKERED CAREER. A year or more ago his wife was left in Columbus while he started out to make some money. He was gone a number of months. When he returned to Columbus he discovered that his wife, who had been left without means, had been started up in elegant quarters by a prominent merchant of that place. His appearance in the Capi tal City was the signal for the selling out of all the furniture, and the couple fled to Chi cago. Prentice had the money—sl,so0—and it lasted but one night. Two days later he was in this city broke and a week later won out $5,000 in Kansas City. At one time sporting men in this city made a collection to send him to the Hot Springs. He remained there a few months. Returning by way of New Orleans, he re mained there long enough to win, in several days, from almost his last dollar, $3,300. He was of modest disposition, at ail times gentlemanly and of good address. His own worst enemy, his death was in keeping with the life he*led. AN OLD SOLDIER’S DEATH. A Sad Scene on a Sunny Farm in the County of Westchester. Fr om the Few York Evening Sun. There had been some thought of taking M. Scotenor’s life with chloroform, hut the old servant protested. He insisted that Monsieur expected to die like a soldier, and had never faltered in battle, the sears of which, received at Cold Harbor, Fair Oaks and Malvern Hill, Monsiei' still carried in his flanks and neck. And so they prepared two Winchesters to execute the old warrior in an honorable manner. M. Seotenor was a New York horse, bred, if not foaled, ou one of the farms that used to flourish be tween Yorkville and Harlem. When Capt. Hebard bought him and rode him away to the war, he was such a precise, high-mettled, well-bred, dark and dapper little animal that the Captain found in him some sugges tion of a Parisian he had known and called him M. Seotenor for that Frenchman. When Monsieur and hisowner found them selves with McClellan on the Peninsula in the spring of ’62, it was in houorable and dangerous service on the staff of Gen. Gor man. Here Monsieur revealed his pluck and his high breeding. The booming of cannon in the distance more than once brought him of his own motion to Capt. Hcbard’s tent, arching his neck and pawing with gentle impatience for the mount and the wild gal lop before the guns. And when, at Cold Harbor, a bullet clipjxxi him just under the mane, making a clean furrow across his nock, he simply turned his head as far around as he could, trying to catch the Captain’s eye. He did not even tremble, and when Capt. Hobanl spoke to him only one cheer ing word, Monsieur seemed content and was off at once, as though lie felt it an honor to have had that bullot. And then again, when at Malvern Hill a short-range minio bail cut through the flank, Monseur quivered a little—ho couldn’t help that—but when his master seemed about to dismount he shower! his pride and pluck by not permitting this to be done, and carried the Captain through the buttle without a sign of pain. He loved the smell of powder and tho smoke of cannon, and its roar set every nerve and every drop of his high-bred blood in splendid exultation. When there came defeat he knew it, and there were times when lie seemed Riilkily to bent buck ns if lie wished a bullet to niako retreat im possible. He had the most superb Oonpampt lor horses of inferior blood and sometimes would refuse to eat when such were near; but when he saw the noble auimul that car ried Little Mac he would raise his ears, arch his neck and by other dumb tokens give evi dence of Ills respect. When Capt. Hebard fainted and fell with the first deadly portent of the swamp fever. Monsieur stood jiatiently over him, no one knows how long, until help came, anti when thov lifted tho Captain’s body anil bore it THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, MAY 9, 18871 away Monsieur followed without leading, and how and then Would thrust his nose against the inanimate form. They brought Capt. Hebard to New York and took him to the old New F.ugland hospital, and Monsieur came too and was quartered not far away, and he stood day after day in his stall turn ing with earnest look to see if each one who came was not the Captain. But he never again carried nor saw the master whom he whirled so often up and down before the lines iu the swamps of the Chickahominy. Capt. Hebard died and was taken to bo buried in the little cemetery near his father's farm in Connecticut, and here, too, Monsieur followed him, He seemed to know his mas ter was dead and he grieved for many weeks. He had rich pasturage and no labor, but Monsieur never was the fieiy Monsieur of the Peninsula again. For years he jogged along with the old family carryall, and sometimes under saddle, though this he seemed to resent as a right held sacred to memory. Yet in all these years the smell of powder stirred his blood, and when the lads on Independence day pulled out the old camion and fired it on the green Monsieur would not lie restrained. He would arch his neck again and prick his ears, and then can ter back and forth in the field just as 1' used to do iu battle. Monsieur at lost grew very rickety and feeble. His joints were stiff and there' were signs that his old wounds pained him badly. He could eat with difficulty and there came a time some days ago when they knew it would be mercy to put Monsieur to death. They led him out into the field far back from the farm house one morning recently and the old hero seemed to understand. He rubbed his nose against the barrels of the Winchesters a moment and then went limp ing but contentedly along. When they had come to a spot where the report of the rifles could not reach the house —for to the people there it seemed almost like cruel assassina tion—they tried to tie Monsieur to a tree but he would not be tied. He stood perfectly still some distance from the tree and they could not make him move farther. Then the Winchesters were leveled at his shoulder. Monsieur knew. He raised himself a bit, arched his neck again for the last time, held up his ears and for the moment seemed the young Monsieur of 1862. Then he wheeled, faced the muzzles and lowered his head with the utmost calmness to receive the bullets. For an instant he was perfectly still and they thought they had aimed badly; then his head fell and he went down upon his knees and rolled on his side. He had heard the report of musketry for the last time. A CLEVER SHOT. An Intoxicated Man Shows a Crowd How to Play Billiards. From the St. Paul Globe. A middle-aged man, who was fast ap proaching a state of absolute intoxioati on, came into a down-town billiard-ioom last night, ami insisted tnat ho was going to play a game of billiards. He approached a young man who was occupying a chair watching the games, and asked if Tie would join him. The young man said he didn’t care if he did, and the attendant produced the billiard balls and lighted the jets ovor one of the tables. When the game opened the intoxicated man had the first shot. He chalked his cue, bent bis body almost to a right-angle, ana after sighting along the cue made a punch at the ball. It went three or four times around the table, but failed to count. “Never touched him, but a very clever shot,” said the billiardist. The young man who had been asked to play scored three points on his first inning, whereat his opponent remarked: “Shverv clever shot, 3 r oung man, shvery clevery shot. You're fine gentleman, my boy.” The second shot for the inebriated indi vidual, like the first, failed to count, and as ho stood back and rested the butt of the cue on the floor, he remarked: “Ought ter had it, but thatsh a very clever shot—very clever shot.” The other man then struck a streak of luck and scored thirteen points in his second in ning. “Very clever shot,” said the inebriate, “very clever shot. But ’fl washn't drunk would beat the young man at thish game,” and he count'd thirteen points on his own string, remarking with a curious leer to a spectator: “Thatsh a very clever shot, too.” By this time quite a crowd of interested spectators had been attracted toward the table. The young man with the cue made a run of seven, which gave him twenty three points and then for a change his in toxicated opponent scored one billiard. “Thatsh very clever shot,” he said, jioking uj) a button on his opponent’s string—“very clever shot.” “Count it on your own string,” said the other man. “Thatsh my string, and very clever string,” was the reply. “You’tend to your business or I’ll quit the game,” said the young man. This aroused the ire of the man of clever shots, and, running rapidly around the ta ble, he liegan punching the balls indiscrimi nately, white and red alike, at each shot re marking in a voice that could lie hoard all through the hall: “Thatsh very clever shot.” He was attracting the attention of the whole room when an attendant came over and told him that he would have to keop more quiet. He argued that he didn't have to; he was willing to pay for the game, and knew his business. He was simply making a few “clever shots.” Arguments were of no avail. He got louder and louder and more loud, until at last the strong-armed at tendant took him by the collar and, march ing him to the outer door, said: “You have to go.” “I'm very clever shot, and I shall shtay,’’ was the reply. “Cuss your clever shotsi ” said the attend ant; “get out of this! That’s the way I English my shots!” and he placed the toe of his right foot in the seat of the man’s trous ers as he pushed him through the door. “Thatsh very clever shot,” came floating back as the figure of a man clutching the air shot athwart the sidewalk. An Egyptian Funeral. FYom the Eomklifii Magazine. A funeral hi Egypt is indeed a strange sight, anil the first one the visitor sees as tonishes very much. At the hear! of the pro cession march a corporate body of the blind and a certain number of men, who proceed at n quick step, singing a most jubilant air, while swinging themsrlvos from right to left. Beilina them comes the funeral car, or rather a sort of bier, bearing a great red shawl, in which the liody is deposited. At tiie extremity of the bier, on a perch, Is placed the turban or the tarbouche of the defunct. Two men carry this bier. They follow with sueh high spirits the movement of the head of the cortege that the corpse, roc .ed iii every direction, seems to jump under th<‘ shawl that shrouds it. The women bring up the rear, some oil asses, some on foot. The ttret row is formed of weepers or rather screamers, who send forth townixl heaven at each step t,he shrillest notes. Tho weepers hold in their hand a handkerchief, with which they are not solicitous of wiping their eyes perfectly dry, but which they pull by the two ends liehind their head with a gesture that would lie desperate if it were not droll. On arrival at tne cenVtery they take the corpse from the bier to cast it, suen as it is, into the gravo. The grand funerals, however, take place with much more snlem nity. An imjiort Hntpcraonage is hardly dead in Egypt before his friends and acquaint ance hurry to the house; during one or two days they eat nnd drink at the ex;reuse of the dead, or rather his heirs, indulging in the noisiest demonstrations. When the hour of the interment arrives, a scene of the wildest character is produced. The slaves and women of the household throw themselves on the corpse aud feign a determination to h'nder it from pashing the threshold. This lugubri ous tragedy is played conscientiously; they snatch away tile coffin, they belay eaon other with blows, and the most violent and frightful (Stumor is heard. At Inst the pro cession leaves tho house and repairs to th cemetery, preceded by cornels loaded with victuals, wliich are dtetributed to the ixxir hurrying in crowds along the road. All along the road the mourners and friends of the family fight for the honor of bearing the bier for an instant, and thus it posses or rather bounds from hand to hand amid the most frightful disorder. The interment end ed every one returns to the house of the dead to recommence the festivities, dancing and the mortuary demonstrations, BROKERS.
