DRINKS fos a whole year. Au Astonishing eckoning Between Mr. Ball and the Barkeeper. Frft w the A 'em York Sun. “Give me a Sullivan milk punch,” we paid. The head barkeeper was engaged in deep converse with a tall, thin man, and was ap parently trying to find out how many fig ures ho could make with a lead pencil on a small business card. He heard the report t s order, however, and called out, “Double dose of No. b, Mike: I’ll put the fringe on.” Then he smiled and said, “Good evening, Air. Blank. I'll lie with you in a moment, dr. I’m engaged in an arithmetical con troversy at present.” Mike and bis two fellow barteuders looked at one another and winked, but they per formed the operation so deftly that it failed to attract the attention of the bead bar peeper. When Mike had transferred a double dose of No. 6 from a cheerful-looking bottle to a goblet, and had added a certain quantity of milk and other ingredients, the head barkeep dropped his pencil and ap proached that part of the bar in front of which the reporter sto and. Reaching his hand across the mahogany, the head bar keep murmured: “I hope you are well this evening. Mr. Blank.” It was one of his peculiarities to get hold of the name of all his customers, and to fire them off with grace. “Not exactly first chop, William,” re sponded the reporter. A carefully constructed combination of sympathy spread itself over Willian’s visage. “Change in the weather, sir,” ho sug gested. “Maybe,” said the reporter; “but I’m under the impression it's whisky.” “Ah,” responded William, solicitously. “It certainly couldn’t have been No. 6, sir.” "No,” was the reply, “I have an idea it was about No. 35 that did the business.” William smiled genially. He was sure his customer was joking. Twenty-five de coctions, he felt certain, could never place “any gentleman of experience” hors dr. conv hat. Moderation, he opines, extended from twenty "inspirers” in a day. “Now, last Sunday,” said William, “I took a day off. In fact,” he added, with some slight appear ance of haste, “I take every Sunday off, of course, for in this establishment we make a point of observing the law. But last Sun day I was with a number of friends, and be tween 9 and 3 o’clock I took forty drinks.” “Have you entirely recovered ?” inquired the reporter. The other barkeeps suddenly turned their backs on William, and became immensely industrious at nothing in partic ular, except the effort to snort unobtrus ve ly. William showed no signs that he per ceived a joke in the vicinity. He simply stated that his general health never was better. But as he talked he wasn’t idle. In his right hand he held a goblet. It was filled to within a quarter of an inch of the brim with No. G, milk, and other dangerous in gredients. His right elbow was flexed. He extended his right arm until his hand was a foot above his head. In his left hand was an empty goblet, and as the right approached the ceiling his left hand sought the floor, until it was on a level with his knees. When the two hands were about six feet- apart the mouths of the gobiets were carefully pointed towards a common centre. Suddenly the contents of the right-hand goblet, shot, from their prison and described a crescent. The liquid darted through space, and in a second reposed in the goblet that caressed William's knees. Not a drop had been spilled on the passage. The posi tion of the goblets was reversed, and six times did William perform a feat that was the admiration of all beholders. Then, with a courtly movement, the milk punch was deposited in a fresh goblet and was ready for burial. The “fringe” upon it was an inch thick. It was not so deep as the smile that over spread William’s countenance as he gazed upon his handiwork. Of the latter ho was truly proud It showed that he was a great artist; that there was ground for the claim that he was a lineal descendant of one of the old masters. Having packed the milk punch awav the reporter was about to de part. when William requested the liberty of giving him an introduction to the tall, thiu man, who, in the meantime, had been figur ing awav industriously with pencil and gaper. The tall, thin man’s name was all. “There’s a difference of twenty drinks be tween him and me,” said William, “and I'd like vou to act as referee, because you’re handy at figures, to say nothing of your ability as a judge of whisky. Is it a go, Mr. Ball*” “It’s a go,” said Mr. Ball. “Will I state the case,” inquired William. “You state the case,” replied Mr. Ball, who seemed to be a man of few words. “There’s a difference of twenty drinks be tween us,” began William. “Mr. Ball pays for his drinks by the year.” “Pays for his drinks by the yearF’ inter rupted the reporter. "Yes,” said William, “he pays for his drinks by the year, and he says he got twentv more drinks than my calculation provides for.” v “Well, jour books show just how many drinks ho got, don’t they!” suggested the reporter. “Oh, no,” replied William. “His account doesn’t show on the books.” “I got 7,300 drinks,” Mr. Ball declared, nd William says I only got 7,250.” “And 7,280 are all you got,” broke in William. “Just explain this thing.” said the re porter testily. "How the deuce can a man fell which ot j-our calculations is correct, if there’s no evidence to go on!” “But there is evidence,” said both dis putants hastily. After a good humored dis pute as to which of them should make further explanation of the puzzle, it was agreed that W lliarn should tell of the agree ment between him and Mr. Ball, subject to correction "Mr. Ball agreed to pay for twenty drinks a day for a year,” Pegan William. “He was to drink whisky, and for each drink he was to pay 7>£e. We had discussed the matter, auu after a close calculation 1 offer ed to put aside for his sole use three barrels of whisky. There are forty gallons in a barrel, and in each gallon there are sixty drinks and a fraction of a particular kind.” “What do you mean by a particular kind ?” inquired the reporter. “I’ve known Mr. Ball for a good while,” replied William, “and I know his ways. Ho pays for all he gets. So it’s nothing against him if he governs himself by certain rules. When he takes a drink of whisky there is no room for flies on the brim. Now, there aro just sixty and a fraction of that particular kind of di inks in a gallon, and as there are forty gallons in a barrel, there must be over 2,400 drinks in a ban-el. Mr. Ball’s year is up to-night. He has druuk three barrels of whisky. lie drank twenty drinks a day. He must have drank 140 drinks a week. There are fifty-two weeks in a year. Multi ply 140 by 52 and you have 7,280. I say Mr. Ball owes for 7,280 drinks.” “And I say I owe for 7,300 drinks," pro claimed Mr. Ball. The reporter looked at him. A man who was permitted to owe for 7,M00 drinks, and who persisted in the claim that he owed for twenty more drinks than his creditor could account for, seemed something of a curiosity. The fact that Mr. Ball had demonstrated his ability to swal low 7,300 drinks in a year and live, seemed even less marvellous than the fact that he had never been asked for even a pay me t on account. The scrutiny of the rejiorter had no apparent effect upon Mr. Ball, and when it subsided a little Mr. Ball asked per mission to show where William had made a miscalculation. “How many days are there in a year, William (” he inquired. “Three hundred und sixty-five; at least this vear,” said William. “If you will multiply 365 days by 20 you will find I owe for 7,300 drinks. There are, as you say, 52 weeks in a year, but, as a matter of fact, there 52 1-7 weeks in a year of 365 days. You forgot about the odd (lay, William, for 7 times 52 makes only 364. That explains where I got my twenty drinks.” Without further ado Mr. Ball drew a pocketbook from an inside pocket, and, hav ing investigated its contents, laid down upon the counter $547 50. “Seven thousand three hundred drinks at 7,Vj'c. apiece, said Mr. Ball to William, “is $547 50. Is that correct?” “Is that correct Mr. Blank?” inquired William of the reporter. “That’s correct,” said the latter. “Same contract for next j’oar, William!” inquired Mr. BalL ‘‘Same contract, Mr. Ball,” said William. Mr. Ball said "good night” and walked out. While William was putting $547 50 in the safe the reporter walked out. THE LUCK OF “PITTSBURG PHIL.” llow He Makes His Money Plunging- on the Horses. From the .V, w York World. Washington, Nov. 13. —Pittsburg Phil, the boy plunger, sat in the billiard room of Willard's Hotel last Saturday night watch ing a game of billiards. He is a smooth faced young fellow, quiet in his dress and manner, and has just reached his majority. He lias bet more money on horse races this year than any other man in the country, an 1 with such fabulous success that at Sara toga the book-makers finally refused his money. Phil has laid away about SIOO,OOO as a result of the season’s betting, and now that all is over he is going to spend his money traveling. “I’ve been pretty 1 ueky here in Washing ton,” be said, “and have won very close to $29,000. My biggest winnings were $3,000 on Bamum, $5,000 on Patrocles and $5,000 on Father Bill Daly’s Valiant. They broke very bad for me in Baltimore, and during the meeting I dropped $7,000. “How do I beat the races? Well. I play the horses on their form. People grumble about their losses, but they would not lose as often if only they’d take into account the accidents in a race. You see a horse to-day at even money. He loses, and the next day there is five to one against him. It may be that he only lost because of a jostle or some other little accident. There aren’t five men who bet who watch the horses while they are running. I always do. I never bet on jumping races simply because you can’t judge ahorseouform in jumping races. I've often played one race a day and only watched the rest. I’ve put a bet down when the horses broke away two or three times, and put as high as $5,000 on at that. Another point is that I play oa the idea that luck is always going to turn. If I lose SI,OOO, I generally bet $2,000 to get even, and if I lost, that I’d double up again, and so on. People say it’s luck. I'll be standing in a crowd or sitting around a place like this and there’ll be someone don’t know me will open fire on me. I heard a fellow say to-day that I wouldn’t get wet if 1 dropped into water, but he said my luck was sure to turn 3ome day and that I’d go broke. I’d like to bet him on that, only 1 don’t make any wagers outside the horses. It's very seldom I play jockeys, but I’ve been pretty lucky on Garrison’s and McLaughlin’s mounts. I don’t often taken stable tips, ex cepting tips on Richmond, and I’ve made lots of monev on him. “The biggest bet I ever won was just after I was barred out by the bookmakers at Saratoga. I went to Monmouth Park and put a neat little sum on Cambyses. I got odds of fifteen to one straight and six to one for place, and I pulled off a clean $20,000. It was the closest race I ever played, and Bannerbearer, who came in second, was less than a head behind. Another jump and he’d have spoiled my prospects for that day. Another big winner I made on Richmond at Sheepshead Bay. He ran against such horses as Eurus, Exile, Wickham and Peri cles, and he won e sy, although the odds offered against him were > ight to one. That race brought me in $15,000. The biggest wager I ever lost was SIO,OOO on Brait at Jerome Park I don’t know how I first came to get into the newspapers. One thing that made a good deal of talk was the time I got played for a sleeper at Monmouth Parki I bet *IOO on a good winner and an other man Is 5. He got my ticket and l got bis. Ho swore on two churches he made the bet, and we had to leave it to Judge Withers to decide. He sized us both up and gave me the big ticket. It was worth about SI,OOO. “Why don't I buy a string of horses my self® Well, a good many luckj 7 betters have done that thing, but I believe it’s easier to beat 'em than to win with ’em. I’m going to go to Florida for a short time after I leave here, and tl.cn I’ll go to Cali fornia. I’m going to see a good deal of the country before another season opens.” TO GET AN EVIL SPIRIT OUT. Charles Gill Opens His Abdomen With a Knife. From the Boston Herald. Last evening, about five minutes prior to the hour set apart for yawning church yards to ommenee their act, a man in a state of the wildest excitement rushed into station 1 and informed Lieut. Cain that a man had stabbed himself at the house of Mrs. Ryan, in the rear of No. 34 Cross street. Sergt. Coleman and Reserve Officer Tuttle pro ceeded at once to the spot, and there found Charles Gill, the party who had attempted to decrease the census of tho city. The tv-r --geaut at once recognized Charles, and in quired what he had been doing. “Why, Mr. Coleman,” said he, “didn’t you know I’d just got back?” Upon the officer’s expression of ignorance that he had been absent from the city lately, Charles told biru that four weeks ago he and two friends ieft this world and went to heaven. The others remained there, and two (lavs ago he came down to earth, to adjust some of his business affairs be had neglected to settle before his departure. While on this mundane sphere two evil spirits had en tered him. and until he could dispossess himself of them he could not return to heaven. One of the spirits located itself in his abdomen, and the other in his stomach. He found that the only way t > get them out was to cut through the flesh aud make a passage for their exit. He concluded to commence with the one lowest down, and sharpening the blade of his pocket.knife to a razor’s keenness, he commenced his work by cutting a slash some two inches in depth, andtheu tried to digout the spirit which was lodged there. At this time some ot the inmates of the house discovered what he was about, and, disarming him, gave the alarm. Sergt. Coleman, who knew Gill well, hu mored him in his fancies, and told him he would tako him to his wished-for place of destination, upon which tho crazy man readily agreed to accompany him. He ob jected to putting on his overcoat, as he said he would not need it in heaven, but the Sergeant’s argument that it would be chilly traveling on the way overcame his objec tions. At the station he insisted that a tall, go> and looking reporter who sported a “beaver” was the Angel Gabriel, and wanted him to blow his horn to announce their coming. Dr. Elliott was summoned, and ordered Gill’s removal to the City Hospital, where he was taken in the ambulance by Patrol men Reagan and Tuttle. Gill has been in sane for some time, and was at the Danvers Asylum for a time, but it was thought that he was cured, and his friends took him home. During the past day or so be has beeu drinking some, and his mind became again unsettled. His wound is quite a seri ous one, and may prove fatal. He is 47 years old and single. He made his home at the rear of No. o 4 Cross street witn Mrs. Ryan, who is his sister. If the food is not properly digested it be comes corrupt, and poisons the system it is intended to nourish. This is indigestion. “Mv wife has suffered for many years with indigestion. After trying everything, else recommended, she tried Simmons Liver Regulator. In three days after taking it ac cording to directions she was in perfect health; she does not suff r at all and can eat anything she wants without any of her pre vious symptoms.” W. C.
