THITORY OF A GAMELER.
Erratioreer of a Man With an Irro
sistible Passion.
Afettrom Long Branch, N. J., to the
Pliilndeta Times snys: The change in the
ter.ipewe Ims not eliminated the crowds
who siilnger here. Every evening the
New Yotsiat brings back again the same
faces, tlstrayed revelers of AVnll street,
who iim the music, the ■•act's, the hops,
the rouF wheel and in the green baize
tables oiiil and John Daly a rekjpdling of
tin firesiich have run low during the dog
days alothe Barliary coast of Wall Street.
Tbousantake in the feverish excitements
of Lomiraneh a quasi-rest—a training
school fthe next duy, when they show up
in good in at 10 a. m. in New York,
ready fitlie great game in Wall street,
where pile sell short or besiege Russell
Sage’s oh for puts and calls.
A VtRY OF THE BLIND GODDESS.
On theuth side of the West End piazza
the othezght sat John Pondir, still a New
York brer, with a comfortable balance in
liank. I lias tried all the games from
poker uneven-up down to keuo, and, last
of all, criage, and is not much the worse
for wearr his participation In some of the
greatest pies of chance ever played on tho
Americarmtinent. The clover blossom in
Pondir’s ittonholc looked drooping and
faint witfce heat of the day, and the still
alert amalive New York broker tossed
aside a eijr he lad smoked to the bitter
end and sued in a reminiscent mood.
I asked “Do you remember Ed Hill
son, awl brokor of Chestnut street?
We both it thirty years ago at Joe Hall’s
game, in Vlmit street, Philadelphia.”
"Indeed do,” replied Pondir, “and
thereby liejs a tale. No man ever lived
who was frier of all games of chance than
poor Hillso the wool broker. He lived in
Philadelph) for forty years and was, I
think, frotiilsace or Lorraine, for he was
| certainly h; Frenchman.
A GABLER WITHOUT NERVE,
“Hillson iver had the Napoleonic cour
age or neie needed to make a great
gambler, buwith him it was the fatal pas
sion for card
“Men like Thomas A. Scott, all nervo,
with a will he Bessemer steel, make gam
blers (when toy do play) of whom the pro
fessional gaunter is always a terror. And
I have heard t told by a prominent Phila
delphian tliai about the time the Girard
House was hilt tiere was a big game of
faro going or there and Mr. Scott sauntered
in saying he lidn’tiiiind winning or losing
*20,000. He bst that amount in three hours
and walked fut in unconcerned as if ho had
lost a pass to SairFrancisco.
“With sum mm gambling is an accident.
It never becomes the one absorbing passion
of life. Woe to be mah who becomes this
passion’s slave. Yith Hillson it was the one
grand passion, aid faro was his favorite
play, a game alvnys full of fascination to
men of high inteleetUal endowments. Hill
son seemed to bejrudge the hours speut in
the ordinary avrrations of business, albeit
he was recognize! as the best wool buyer on
the street.
“He had aplomb; was possessed of a keen
intellect and a wonderful fund of informa
tion, but he could never resist the sight of a
{jack of cards.
“Hillson had no domestic ties of which
anybody knew. He paid his bill promptly,
and his accounts were always closet! cor
rectly with the houses for Whom he worked
on commission.
“He was satisfied with small winnings,
but it is the continual dropping which wears
away the granite shaft.
LUCK AT MONTE CARLO.
“In 1870 he found himself *5,000 behind.
Hillson disappeared from Philadelphia for
one year. Nobody made any search for him,
as there seemed to lie a general impression
that the little Alsatian-Frenehman “would
come out cat-bird’ (as they say out West).
And he did. In almost a year to a day from
his disappearance Hillson appeared, full of
chic, bright, breezy, well-dressed and with
a lieav y bank balance to his credit. He paid
all his outstanding bills and no questions
were asked. His story to his intimates was
that he had but *5OO when ho reached Paris
and he could not resist the temptation to
take a run over to Monte Carlo. He first
purchased a return ticket to America, avow
ing that he was not afraid to face his cred
itors, but only waited for his luck to turn.
Hillson said he had *4OO cash left. He pat
some l(Xif. on the red. It won. He put the
winnings, 100f., between the 0 and the 00,
which pays 17 for 1. Ho won. He picked
out the number 13 because it was called an
unlucky numlier anil put 60f. on that num
ber. He won. He was now a high roller in
luck and in one hour was possessor of 30,000f.
He returned in the next steamer to America
and liquidated all outstanding accounts.
THE GAMBLER’S TRAGIC END.
“In ISS4 Hillson’* luck turned. His com
missions as a wool-buyer did not furnish
forth the wherewith to gratify his elegant
desires. He had sailed with a more swelling
pirt than his faint means did grant con
tinuance.
“He had friends,” continued John Pondir,
“who would have loaned him *5,000. He
was too proud to tell why he was poor.
Hillson Itecame tired of the struggle, anil
our June day he left Philadelphia for Niag
ara Falls. Nobody knew where ho had
gene. As soon ns the train reachis! Niagara
ae gave a haekmnn *5 and simplv said:
“’Drive to the Falls.’
‘Once there ho laid off his coat and
ended it by one wild leap into the angry,
dentil-dealing current of the river. His
Uidy Was never found. Tin- horrified hack
mini found a bill of sale for bis furniture,
covering the rent then due his landlord on
1 iiestnut street, anil a note asking the some
person to give a colored boy lie had around
liis office his last *5 enclosed. The last page
w his letter read thus: *
" ’I have called tho turn. I missed the
call. Tell the Iwys I’m in hard luck, and
tin y will not blame me if I leave the ills I
have and fly to others that I know not of.
It re best so.’ ”
John Pondir rose up sadly; lit a fresh
Cl gar and said: “Youhg man, as I told
you before, never gamble.”
FRIGID MARY ANDERSON.
How Sho Did Not Marry an English
Duke.
Hays a writer in the Brooklyn Citizen:
A woman who knows Mary Anderson well
gave me a curious explanation of her indif
ference to nil suitors. Hhe says that when
Wlr 'lory first appeared in England several
years ngo and captured the hearts of Lon
, among her earliest victims was a cer
ium young duke, anil at that time not of

"Inch he had handed ovor the footlights al
iim.o nightly. The Anderson whs half
pleased and half frightened. The duke was
c'ei! at that time very attractive in ap
piwahee, and his rank and immense wealth
naturally did not detract from his charms,

• By the time Miss Ander

"““" lcr her whilom suitor was far less
‘ s but lie hud been learning in the
“iiitune. He luul reached his majority
and had had a season in London, where
toothers with niarriagehle daughters tench
n rich young man of rank his full value.
One little Incident of that first season of his
is worth retailing. The unmarried girls in
London revolted that year against the
grasping, greedy manoeuvers of the young
illations, who were not content with their
own prize, but were essaying to keep the
eligible bachelor dangling in their train.
The revolt took the form of what was
known as the Rosebud ball, to which only
one chaperon was asked. Fifty young
Women of wealth and position gave the
dance, each one having the privilege of in
viting five persons. On the morning of the
tenth day before the ball took place the
young duke had a bulky mail. There were
fifty invitations to the Rosebud ball. Ench
one of the young women bad sent four cards
to her friends, and each one secretly sent
the fifth to this most desirable young man.
There was Homeric laughter in London,
and the nobleman whom the actress reject
ed found himself the chief corner-stone of
eligibility. He renewed his attentions to
Miss Anderson, but in a chastened form,
since which time, though he has always
been most civil to her, he has not put him
self in a position to be rejected. Some of
his friends—possibly Miss Anderson herself
—believe that he has never cared for any
other woman, and will eventually ask her to
be his wife, and meantime she receives the
advances of all other men with cool sweet
ness and refusal.
SULLIVAN WHIPPED.
Long Jack Does Up the Boston Man in
True Wild Western Style.
From the Dakota Bell.
When the John L. Sullivan combination
made its first Western trip a little event
took place out at Helena, Montana, which
has never been in the papers. As is well
known, John usually takes in the tons
when out on his trips, especially the West
ern ones, where he generally sees much that
Is new. On this occasion, at Helena, he was
making the rounds with a couple of the
members of the combination and a local
sport, and it was pretty late when they
struck a large saloofi, which, perhapis, more
than any other, was frequented by the
stockmen. There were probably twenty
five or thirty cowboys In the saloon at the
time. After a drink all around a big,
square-shouldered man stepped up and said:
“So ye’r John L., be ye?’
“Yes, sir.”
“Well, I want ’o say I kin lick ye the best
day ye ever saw!”
“Very likely,” replied Sullivan, starting
out, seeing that the man had been drink
ing, and not wishing to have trouble with
him.
“Oh, ye needn’t ‘very likely’me—l kin do
it an’ I’m goin’ to! You needn’t be ’shamed
to fight with me; the boys kin tell ye I know
how to fight.”
“Ye bet he kin!” roared half a dozen,
“an’ we’re goin’ to see him do it!”
Here most of them drew their sir-shoot
ers, some guarded the door, while the rest
covered the other members of the Sullivan
party and the barkeepers with their weap
ons, and formed a ring.
“Whack it to him, Jack,” yelled the boys.
“Yer bet I will! I’ll knock him down and
jag him with my spurs!”
He took off a heavy revolver and handed
it to a friend who stood in front of the ring
and said:
“Buck, ye jes’ hold thatan’keep right be
hind me so I can get it thunderin’ quick if I
step back and want it.” Then ho turned to
Sullivan and added: “Now, I don’t want
none o’ yer hurr’eane flghtin’ nor rusliin’
nor monkey business uv any kind. This is
jes’ a straight, fair fight, an’ ef ye go tryin’
to knock me out I’ll grab that air gun an’
fill ye so full of lead you won’t hold to
gether !”
“That’s right!” yelled the boys.
Sullivan saw the fellow meant business,
and that whatever kind of a fighter ho
■night be he wasn't afraid to shoot, and that
the others were at his back. He saw the
only thing he could do was to let him have
his own way, simply keeping from getting
hurt himself. , 8b they went at it, anil Sulli
van allowed himself to be pounded all over
the ring. He could easily have knocked the
fellow out, for though he was big and stout
he had no science, but there was that friend
of his right behind him all the time holding
that revolver out invitingly and already
cocked. They kopt it up for fully fifteen
minutes, or till the cowboy was tired out,
and Sullivan never more than tapped his
opponent, though he took several quite
heavy blows himself. At last they stopped
and shook hands, while the boys yelled till
they were hoarse and fired their six-shooters
at the ceiling till Sullivan was deaf, after
which his opponent treated the whole crowd
and patted mm on the back patronizingly,
and told him that, though he was a very
fair fighter, ho needed t train a little more
before he tacked Long Jack again. It was
the only time Sullivan got the worst of a
fight.
A HOT SHOT FROM SPACE.
A Meteor that Shook the Earth, Splash
ed Water and Boiled Catfish.
By way of the Galt (Cal.) Gazette comes
the following:
Dr. T. V. Goods peed, a resident practiti
oner of this place, reports that on yesterday
morning about 2 o’clock as ho was return
ing home from a sick call in the country he
witnessed one of the strangest phenomenal
sights ever witnessed here About a mile
e lid a half south of Galt ho witnessed the
fall of a huge meteor. The transient
luminous body dropped from above like a
streak of lightning. So rapid was the fall
that the doctor was unable to looato the
direction or course of the meteor. He says
that the very earth trembled when the
strange body lighted on terra Anna. The
meteor shot into a large slough on the
ranch of J. B. Furnish. The doctor was
scarcely a quarter of a mile distant. lie
was driving down the hill directly south of
the slough. “It was a grand sight,’’the doc
torsays, “although almost instantaneous.”
The water splashed a hundred feet high,
and when the spray had cleared away the
slough seemed to bubble and sizzle as If a
quanitity of molten metal had been poured
into it. A quantity of steam or vapor was
produced that befogged the slough. The
morning was very bright, however, and
the doctor says: “After the slough cleared
off a little I could perceive a yellowish
vapor emitting from tho water whore the
meteor foil. The wind was blowing toward
ine, and smelled ns if impregnated with
some foreign subtance, not unlike the smell
of sulphur, and was very disagreeable.”
Many people curious to see tho aerolite
have visited tho slough. The meteoric
stone fit's about in tho centre of the pond,
and from its position we should think Hint
it, was shot in from a northeasterly direction.
About six feet of the stone is visible above
the water It is impossible to estimate the
size of it on account of tho marshy nature
of the slough. It looks as if it were wedge
sliaiie, hill 100 feet wide, and there is no
telling its length. The part of the aerolite
visible ulkivi; water is of a dark grayish
color, with a scaly, uneven snrfaee. In the
water in the slough near tho stone is to lie
seen a brownish-blue scum, often noticed in
certain mineral springs. The slough was
literallv alive with catfish, but they were
all killed, and are now to be soeu by the
thousands floating in the water, and upon
examination they were found to be par
ltoiled. The water in tho slough must have
attained a boiling temperature.

ROYALTY ON A SPREE.
Larry Hazen’s Jaunt With the Prince
of Wales.
From the, Cincinnati Evguircr.
Not a few people have commented on the
resemblance of Chief of Detectives Larry
Hazen to the pictures of President Cleve
land. This led the Colonel to remark yes
terday that he seriously contemplated pay
ing a visit to Washington.
“I think I’ll get there In time,” he said,
“to start back with him on his Western
trip. Of course he is liable to get tired
shaking hands with so mauy people. I
reckon I’d lie a pretty good sub for the
night stations. Tne people wouldn’t know
whether they’d shaken hands with Grover
Cleveland or Larry Hazen, and it would do
them just as much good. Grover and I are
not much strangers. It met him when he
was Sheriff. I was going through Buffalo
with Dutch Heinrich, the smartest bank
sneak in the world, and stopped and bor
rower! a pair of leg irons from Grover.
“I guess I could entertain him on the
way,” added the Colonel, musingly. “I once
entertained
THE PRINCE OF WALES.”
The half dozen “flies” in the Chief’s office
picked up their ears and urged the Colonel
to tell his experience with royalty.
“It was back in the sixties,” he began,
after some persuasion and Considerable in
ward chukhng, as he began to collect his
thoughts, “that I met'ls Royal ’lghness. In
those days, and ’way back to ’SB, I Used to
go over to the great fair in St. Louis every
year. Maj. Rawlins, then Chief of Police,
was a great friend of mine. He is in New
Orleans now, I believe. There was Har
rington. afterward the Chief, and now Col
lector of the Port. He was then a Lieuten
ant of Police. They ti-eated me like a
King. I had apartments at the Southern,
and a carriage at my command night anil
day. Yes, mid you can bet that the Major
.and I didn’t give the crooks much of a
show. On one of my trips the town was
torn up over the visit of the Prince of
Wales. The young blood went one day out
to the fair. You ought to have seen the
crowd. Why, the semi-circular place,
where the people sat, was half a mile in
length. There was a great space for the
people to promenade. The old Major had
charge of the
ROYAL NIBS’ PARTY.
The Prince was then a young man about
18 years old, tall and straight as an arrow,
with his head covered with blonde hair.
There was an old gentleman, a Big Wig in
bis country, who was a kind o’ guardian for
the young fellow. Then there Were two
detectives from Scotland Yards. He had
men to handle his trunks, men to do every
thing. During the show ’ls ’lnhness, as
they dubbed him, took a promenade, and
me at his side. You ought to see the girls—
pretty ones, too—hi iw they watched the
young fellow as he passed between the two
lines. They would hand him their cards,
which he would accept with a Imw. He
looked mightily pleased. I guess he thought
everything went,” and the Colonel chuckled
to himself.
“Well, when we got through he had his
pockets sticking out with these cards. He
must have hadnalf a bushel. We drove to
the Barnum, where the Royal party put
up. The thing 1 most noticed was a big
leather trunk which was tilled with money.
We stood mound, tulkoil anil drank with
the gang, and finally says I to Rawlins:
“ ‘Major, s’pose, wo take the young fellow
for a run—show him the sights?’
“The Major thought it was a good idea.
“ ‘Just wait,’ says I, ‘and I’ll fix it.’
“Tapping'ls'lghness on the shoulder I
led him to one side.
‘WALES, MY BOY,’
says I, ‘how would you like to take in the
town, see the sights f
“ ‘Hush,’ said he, ‘the Governor will hear
you. I’d dearly like to go, you know, but
the Governor wouldn't hear of it.’
“ ‘Nevor you mind that,’ says I; ‘you just
go up and excuse yourself, and, mind you,
11 your pockets well out of that leather
trunk.’
“He excused himself, and in a minute or
two Rawlins and I joined him in the hall
way. Soon, with Harrington and one or
two others, we were on the road, as merry
a party as you ever saw. We first dropped
in at Looney’s. Wales was recognized at
once, aud all the girls crowded around
and wanted to danco with him We left
there and took In a few other places. Every
time the young fellow called for a bottle he
would put his hand in his pocket like a
school-boy and pull out a handful of money.
I left them and hurried back to the hotel.
The old Governor was standing on his head.
He had sent to headquarters and had them
out looking for Rawlins. Then they were
looking for me, knowing pretty Well that
Rawlins would be pretty near were I was.
When I came In I told the old fellow not to
be uneasy, it would be all right. They sent
two officers to Shaw’s Garden to look for
the gang, hut they got drunk anil Upset the
wagon. Finally, about 4 o'clock in the
morning, the Prince
CAME STAGGERING IN
and threw himself into a ehnir. The old
Governor had just about concluded they
had kidnaped ’ls ’lghness. and were on the
way to Indian Territory with him.
“‘Wherehave you been, my boy?’ he
said.
“ ‘I don’t know’ (hlc), said the Prince, and
his head fell to one side, and in a minute you
couldn’t have wakened him with an earth
quake.”
“Do you think Wales, old boy, would
know you now?” inquired Dan.
“Well, I could remind him of some things
that happened that night which would make
him remember me,” and the Colonel again
chuckled long and loud.
NO CORPSE, NO FUNERAL.
A Little Mistake That Surprised a
Colored Family in Washington.
A Washington dispatch to the New York
Evening Sun says: There is nothing the
colored jioople of Washington so much doto
on as showy funerals. They have societies
into whose coffers they pour regular weekly
or monthly dues to pay for fine funerals,
and thus entitle themselves to elaborate
burials when their turn comes to pay the
debt of nature. Young children are
obliged by their parents to pitch in anil
earn their “funeral money,” and many a
colored lad is roundly trounced for failure
in tliisbehost. The social status of a colored
family often turns on the number of car
riages at the last funeral it has “given.”
Wlr n a pickaninny dies it is entitled to a
white coffln witli satin lining, and iiothing
but a white hearse will answer to convey it
to the cemetery. Two honest blnck bilks
a few night ago consoled theniselves for the
loss of their youngest, lorn by preparing for
a very pretty funeral. They summoned the
colored undertaker and gave their orders,
“1 found de remains," said this gentleman,
telling the story, “in de bureau drawer. I
tuk It out an put it in a coffin I lied tuk wid
me. 1 jest chucked dat, coffin in do buggy

“The United Slates Leads the World
in the Art of Manufac
turing Pianos.”
The piftno, after more than a century and
a half after ita invention, has become the
hsuliug instrument of music throughout
Christendom. There are at least fifty
thousand men employed in their manufac
ture, and as many as a hundred thousand
are made every year. Ail average piano
requires one hundred and twenty days of
labor to complete it—a slow and tiresome
process for the Work of one man’s hands,
hut in Germany they are still so made.
Although the United States now turns out
many thousand pianos a year, fifty-five
years ago scarcely fifty were made, annually.
Almost every household now regards a
piano ns essential to happiness; for wo have
long since passed the age of simplicity of
6ur forefathers, and the ago of luxury has
fairly set in—and we rejoice that it is so.
What a wide Held is open for the manu
facturer, and what inducements to carry
improvements of the piano to the highest
state of perfection. The variableness of our
climate renders it of the first importance
that our pianos should be made in the most
thorough and substantial manner, and we
certainly can claim that our American
pianos are tile best in the world. —Musical
World.
The question of the superiority of Ameri
enn pianos over those of foreign moke is
indisputably settled and needs no discussion,
while in prices the odds are likewise largely
in our favor.
For demonstration call and examine the
line of American Uprights we offer at $2lO,
#225 and #250.
They Cannot be Matched at the
