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 [W. lie was quite mad atsmt her; and ‘Bough her itop-father pursued with him .i* 1 ms inflexible habit of repression, and j'uw an advertisement in tho snubbing of “ 'llike, the ardent young nobleman niau- JA’ixl to convoy some extremely piuveoimte atti'i-.s lo her in the basket of superb flowers "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, fie had been carefully instructed lieforo '■ayuig here, and luid the lesson 11111111x1 in , 1 1 '"s from Bandy Hook to the Mersey, deaf ear to tho wily words of nt h 11 Britishers, who were lonite villains, ;' f 'i y one.

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. Mother’e (Smiles are the Sunlight of Home.

THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, AUGUST 2fi, IW. 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 an’ driv to my simp.
