Ihe poker craze.
ThsGf Making Oreat Inroads Upon
f the New Yorkers.
Kfork Cor. Philadelphia, Times.
Theft* of poker has acquired a great
hod. f t only in the ho i es of some of the
bat rfie in the land and in the regular
gml* houses, but in nooks and corners
wieifnly the initiated would think of
la>kfor it, a quiet poker game is in prog
ram pght after night. Large and
snaltukes change hands in hundreds of
patjevery night, and in some of these
pacj,eurious social developments are to
to Sdied by any one who has the oppor
tanj and inclination. The most mischiev
•otsknner or the indulgence is one that
seelto have been modeled after the stories
in iem French novels. In some of these
no\|descriptions are given of retired vil
las the Immediate neighborhood of Paris,
in tfch some scheming dame not only al
lowbut encourages gambling for high
stalj In New York the same thing is
donhtb variations. Retired villas are not
for the New York policeman, unlike
the fench gendarme, has no authority to
suaiilomiciliary visits, and little cr no
leap ins interference is entertained. Ele
gan%ts are easy to be had which afford
ail ttotirement necessary and are most
eonvlentof access. The least adventurous
youth New York can easily be persuaded
to call an apartment house in a good
neiglthood where all the outward looks
of reactability are preserved.
FEEDING THE KITTY.
vase which the French dame
Supple the use of which is well understood
by all p guests, is replaced in New York
bv tbeiore prosaic “kitty.” No player
may In , to pocket all his winnings, nor
would (expect to. for iio knows that the
elogantjki expensive establishment is main
tained f\his behoof and that the income
uecessan for the maintenance is drawn
from thtitme. Rut whereas in France, as
in the li' ts, the gallantry of the gentle
man is rad upon to comuel him to drop a
share of !|j spoils into the vase without any
stipulations to the percentage, in New
York the fetter is put on a business basis
from jp start. Hence the
“kitty” jphips are provided by
the tylyl who runs the “hell,”
and are (olf'and redeemed by her. Mani
festly, i| Hiring the play some of them
come biuk ft her witiiout her having to
buy thef, shj will have a surplus of funds
at the btakieg-up. it is. therefore, agreed
that, eaci player winning a pot on a hand
above a ertain value shall pay tithes by
putting one chip in the “kitty.” Ordi
narily t!s vaiue is fixed at two pairs, and
as in anjgame hand of three or better are
cominoqthe “kitty” is likely to lie the only
steady miner.
Ipokeh in a mansion.
The mo elegant establishment of this class
is in the aighborhood of Madison square.
The prof ietress, a well-bred and attractive
woman, i <lllOlOß the entire house, which is
a han iso e four-story brown-stone mansion
of the bat type. A similar bousq 011 the
the same Jock rents for $4,500 per year.
The main floor is an elegant restaurant,
which fortood, cooking and service, is on a
par with Jelmonico’s. A glimpse at the bill
of fare stows t!,at the place is for thejeun
esse doreejmd not the vulgar herd. Cigars,
25 cents; hre whisky, 25 and 40 cents; port
erhouse sigik, $1; entrees, $1; champagne,
$4, are simple entries upon the gilt-edged
card. Aaoble flight of stairs leads to tiie
floors atove, where the goddess chance is
worship*!. The rooms are elegantly fur
nished fnm every standpoint. Velvet car
pets, bald-carved and exquisitely-uphols
tered furniture, artistic wall ami mantel
ornaments, mako it more a home than a
card-room. Electric bells enable the player
to call for Irish cards or new supplies of to
bacco and abohol as the game progresses.
The “house” owns or keeps no gambling
paraphernalia excepting cards, markers,
chips and dice But there is no restriction
upon the use of the rooms. You can play
any game for vhich you bring the tools.
Poker and whist are the favorites of the pa
trons; those of foreign origin or who have
lived abroad display a fienchant for eeaite,
piquet, and baoctrat, while now and then a
confirmed gamester will run a taro table,
a roulette wheel nr a rouge-et-noir game for
a night.
There is no regular “kitty” in the placA
Each room costs so much per night, and no
questions are asked. The games played are
not very high in comparison with Daly’s, at
Long Brauch, or the great establishments
of Europe, but run considerably over those
played at the New York clubs. In no room
does less than £loochange hands in a night.
From this it runs far up into the thousands.
A feature of the place is that no woman
is allowed to enter it, not even into the res
taurant. If they do come in the larder be
comes suddenly and remarkably empty, and
the wine cellar devoid of goods. Despite
the apologies of the sorrowful and sym
pathetic waiter the call is never repeated.
The frequenters of the place are club men,
whose club prohibit any but nominal stakes
or which close early; men about town,
successful lawyers and journalists. Asa
class they are far above the average, and
deserve the much-abused word ‘Select,”
which the proprietress regards as the shib
boleth of her trade.
A SIXTH AVENUE PLACE.
On Sixth avonue, not a stone’s throw from
the Racquet club, is a verv different estab
lishment. This is presided over by a tine
looking woman, whose charms are very
much on the wane, and whose large flat is
devoted almost entirely to gaming.
Every table is stilted for the
“kitty," and woe to the player
who does not drop a chip for “every hand
over two pair” in the national game. Hand
*ou> boxes of “lotto" enuble the seeker after
fortune to indulge in the pleasure of keno
without violating the law. When the latter
game is played, the bank is ruu by the
"manager” of the l ouse, a mu cular but
mild-mannered young man, who in lower
dens, would be styled a “bouncer.” The
customers are chiefly clerks, young profes
sional men and dudes. Hero there is no re
striction upon women. A largo number
have the entree of toe place, and all persons
have the privilege to bring strangers, but
there is an unwritten law. All must be at
tractive, well-dressed, well-bred and not
poor. Of course, respectable women are
conspicuous by their absence. Now and
then some reckless and fashionable girl or
mnriied woman,bent upon seeing the town,
will drop in, but with these exceptions the
female visitors are all members of the great
army of the lost. All play, espeo ally tha
women. When they “go broke,” they bor
row from some friend or admirer, and in
default of this obtain a stack of chips from
the house, using their jewelry as collateral.
The game is not a heavy one. Five and
sometimes ten cent chips are used,and a half
oy a whole dollar is the limit of the game.
Even upon tin is basis considerable money is
lost and won, and a goodly sum goes each
night into the “kitty.”
THE SPEAKER’S DUTIES.
Members of Oongrrees Who Are Good
Presiding Officers.
From the Rt. Louis Republic.
Washington’, Sept. HO. —The general
public has no idea of the great amount of
study required for a member of the House
to familiarise himself with the rules of that
body sufficiently to enable him to preside
w ith ease and credit over Its deliberation.
These rules are to l>e found in a volume of
"‘■'oral hundred pagos. Including, of course,
the rulings of former speakers, whose de
cinon* are referred to as precedents.
Biwaker Carlisle is a natural-born parlia
mentarian, and not only is ho prompt aud
accurate In all that ho doe* while
>n the chair, but there is a firm
ness anil grace in his rulings which com
mand respect, attention and acquiescence.
There have been spoakers in the past who
were possibly equals as presiding officers,
but he has not had any superiors so far a'
parliamentary knowledge is concerned. All
men have some faults, and the present
(pecker's greatest fault is his leniency, lie
x such a tender-hear ted man that he is otM-
ful not to offend the opposition, even, ar.d
in trying to please he has often been ac
cused of going out of the way to impress
the republican side of the house that he did
not, intend to be a partisan speaker.
It is too wearing upon any one man to re
main constantly in the chair, and the
sneaker from time to time calls upon va
rious members to relieve him. It is not an
easy matter to find even in so large a body
as the Hou-e many men who cau wield the
gavel successfully. When the Hou-e re
solves Into the committee of the whole on
the state of the union for the consideration
of bills, the speaker always vacates the
chair, and some member is culled upon to
preside. It will doubtless be interesting to'
state who of the members are most fre
quently called upon to preside, both as
speaker pro tempore and as chairman ot
the committee of the whole.
Mr. Cox of New York, who is an old
legislator, with nearly a quarter of a cen
tury’s experience, was at tue liegin'iing of
this session speaker pro tem. for quite a
while. He has presided at times during
many of the past, congresses, and he is a
great success in the chair. He was once a
formidable candidate himself for speaker
of the house.
Mr. Springer of Illinois is another veteran
parliamentarian. Few of the members have
so good a knowledge of parliamentary law
as he, and he knows the rules of the house
thoroughly. He is cool aud ever ready
with decisions.
Two of the Missouri delegation are called
upon frequently to wield the gavel, viz.:
Messrs. Dockery and Hatch. They have
been eminently successful in the chair and
have presided a great deal, both as speaker
pro tem. and as chairman of the committee
of tho whole. Mr. Dockery presided day
after day during the tariff debate, which
lasted so many eelcs. He was also in the
chair during the exciting and interesting
debate on the retaliation bill and on the
Oklahoma bill and various other occasions.
He always presides at the Friday
sessions, when pension bills are uniter
consideration. The republican side
never question his decisions, having
absolute confidence in them, because
they are fair and well-considered.
No other state can furnish in reality two
such efficient presiding officers as Missouri.
Col. Hatch is a man of force and knows
the rules thoroughly, and Mr. Dockery has
certainly proven himself to be one of the
most successful members in the art of pre
siding. It is a gift which both of these
popular Missourians possess to a wonderful
degree, and the state of Missouri ought to
be proud of the distinction which has been
shown her members in many ways in con
gress. It is due, of course, next to the
ability in her members, to the fact that, they
are continued in congress for a number of
consecutive terms, thereby increasing their
intliience and experience year by year.
Georgia has two monitors who are also
frequently in the chair—Messrs. Crisp and
Blountr-the former much oitener, however,
than the latter.
Mr. MoMillin of Tennessee is another
trained parliamentarian, and Mr. McCreary
of Kentucky has also rendered much assist
ance to the speaker during the present ses
sion. Other members are occasionally
asked to wield the gavel, but the names
given above embrace those who are often
seen in tho chair.
Mr. Randal!, an ex-speaker, is a splendid
parliamentarian, but it is the custom now
not to call an ex-speaker to the chair.
In former congresses Mr. Blackburn of
Kentucky was repeatedly called to the
chair. Few men in the House iu this gen
eration could equal the brilliant Kentuck
ian. He was much more active in the
House than he sooras to be in the Senate.
Indeed, some men are better suited to the
House than they are to the Senate, and so
orten it is said here that a man was a better
representative than he is a senator.
ROMANOB OF A WILL.
After Fifteen Years a Supposed De
stroyed Will Turns Up, and the
Wrong will be Righted.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Attorneys Slater and Hauekof Lawrence
burg, Ind., probated the other day a long
10-t will that has a romantic history, and
which will result in some peculiar litigation.
The will was that of John Adam Huffman,
and was executed June 23, 1873, but a few
weeks before the death of the maker thereof.
The will oroviues that “all of the real es
tate and personal property of the testator
shall, at his death, go to his wife during her
natural life, but that she shall not in any
manner incumber or dispose of any of said
property, aud that at the death of the said
wife all of the property of the decedent,
both real and pers' inal, shall go to his only
child, a daughter." The wife was displeased
with the will, and, securing possession of it,
gave it to her sister to destroy.
The sister was afraid to do so, and took
the instrument, concealed it anil informed
the widow that she had burned it up. The
administrator made a diligent search for
the lost will. Addison Williams, the
attorney who drew it up, had died shortly
after, aud not being able to discover the
missing document the story of the widow,
that her husband bad destroyed it shortly
after making it, was accepted as true, and
the estate was settled up as if no will had
existed. The wjldow then remarried, other
children were Dorn to her and then she
died. The second husband administered
upon her estate, sold ti e farm and took
another wife. Since then the farm has
again etianged hands. The only daughter
and only heir to all this estate, not getting
along with her stepfather, has been doing
labor for years iu Cincinnati to support
herself, unconscious of her rights to the old
home and its farm lauds. A few months
ago the aunt who had been intrusted with
the destruction of the long-looked-for
will was stricken down with disease, and
wishing to right a wrong which fear of
some imaginary punishment had long re
strained her from doing, she sent for the
inj red niece, and, in the presence of wit
nesses, told the story of tho lost will and
gave it to the rightful heir, who in turn
brought it to Messrs. Slater & Hauck to re
cover possession. Both of tue witnesses to
the makiug and signing of the
will were brought into court yes
terday. They at once identified
the instrument, verified its correctness
under oath, and no objection being pre
sented, after more than fifteen years of con
cealment the old will was probated, and the
first step toward placing in rightful pos
session the excluded heir wus taken. The
daughter is of lawful ago, and her attorneys
will at once proceed to recover all the prop
erty for her. The stepfather is worth noth
ing, and the present owner and purchaser
of the farm will have to bear the sail mis
fortune of losing the lands without an op
portunity to come upon tho man who sold
it to him for reimbursement.
A Mule Dies of Hydrophobia.
From the Quitman {(la.) Free Press.
During the earlv part of last week a dog
belonging to George McMullen, wbo lives in
the southern portion of the county, showed
symptoms of hydrophobia. Mr. McMullen
handed his gun to a man who lives on the
place and told him to take the dog out and
shoot it. This the man failed to do, how
ever, and the dog one day bit a fine mule
tielonging to Mr. McMullen. The bite was
on the mule’s upper lip. Tho mule soon
iiegan to show symptoms of being mad,
and in fifty hours from the time it was bit
ten it was dead. A gentleman wbo saw the
mule after it was bitten deseril es its actions.
It seemed to be ravenously hungry all the
time, ho said, and yet when fed would eat
but very little at a time. The most of the
time it would stand perfectly still with its
head held away up, when all of a sudden it
would run backward and utter the most
peculiar kinds of snorts and neighs. It was
biedoncoor twice with the hope that this
would benefit it. When this was done it
v., uld eat the blood and dirt most rave
nously. it finally died In great, agony. Mr.
McMullen had the dog killed ass >on as he
saw the effect its bite bad on the mule.
Impurities of the blood often cause great
an"ovance at this toaaon; Howl’s Sarsa
parilla purifies the blood, aud ourea all such

ATLANTA’S EDISON.
A Georgia Sewing Machine that Rune
Itself.
From the Atlanta (Qa.) Constitution.
Atlanta has a sewing machine made in
Georgia, of Georgia iron, wood and steel,
and it runs itself.
This is the beginning of an industry
whieh mechanical experts ta r will revolu
tionize the sewing machine business of the
world.
For forty years sewing machine men have
been trying to devise a motor which would
do away with the pedal movement that is
doing so much damage. A great many
men have tried their hands at it and failed.
All sorts of motors have been tried without
success.
It remained for an Atlanta mau to solve
the problem.
The patent rights for all foreign countries
have beeu sold and the man who bought
them has named Mr. Brosius “the Edison
of the south.”
A stock company with $500,000 capital
stock has been formed in Atlanta to make
the machines and motors, and all the stock
is taken but about SIOO,OOO. The charter
will ho secured on Oct. 1, and the movers
in the enterprise say that they will be mak
ing machines by the huudred in less than
three months.
But what is the motor?
It is “clockwork reversed,” as Mr. Bro
sius describes it. “In ordinary clockwork
the springs start tho motion and there is a
system of wheels to speed it down so as to
measure time. In Mr. Brosius’ motor the
motion is started by springs, but the wheels
are so arranged as to Hpeed it up to a rapid
velocity. Of course it takes powei ful
springs to furnish the required power when
the speed is multiplied. Mr. Brosius uses a
four-inch coil of heavy steel an inch and a
half wide, and say out-eighth to one-six
teenth of an inch thick.
Two such coils run a sewing machine as
if it were a toy. It takes a level - two feet
long to wind them with ease, and a few
turns of the lever will run the machine fif
teen minutes. It stitches through jeans
several times doubled, uud yet it is so easily
controlled by a brake that in stiching mus
lin the speed can lie regulated so as to turn
the sharpest corner with nicety, or to stop
iu an instant if it is desired.
The motor is the bi thing.
The invention is applied now to the sew
ing machine, but the application of the mo
tor will extend througn the whole range of
mechanics. It will run a tri-yclo or a
churcu organ or a railway tricycle just as
well as a sewing machine, ana J. T. James
thinks it will run a light buggy.
Mr. Brosius says that for dentists’ use it
will beat anything they have ever tri -d,
and it will cost less. W herever a light aud
economical motor is desired it will find a
place.
The company proposes to manufacture
motors and sewing machines with motors.
Of the sewing machines now in use—proba
bly several millions in the United States —
they calculate on supplying one-flt'th with
motors, which will be attachable to any
machine. One of the advantages of Mr.
Brosius’ invontiou is that it works by
direct gearing with cogs and without a bell.
He attaches the motor to the end of the
machine shaft, and he has a patent on this
form of attachment.
In addition to the motor Mr. Brosius has
invented and patented anew mechanical
movement to run the shuttle, feed dog aud
another piece of the sewing movement.
It is something like the cam movement
which runs the eccentric rod on a steam
engine, but the cam, instead of a lump on
one side of the axle, is a round disc with
one side set in the center, and the whole
disc projecting and carrying the eccentric
with it as it revolves.
It makes anew serpentine movement,
which Mr. Brosius says will apply to a
great many other things in mechanics, and
supply a long desired motion which will
improve a great many machines and make
eutirely new machines possible.
He was told by experts that such a motion
was not possible in mechanics, but he went
on and perfected it anyhow.
Mr. Brosius is a genius. This is not his
first invention by a large number. He
learned his trade wit h a locksmith in Vir
ginia, and has made edge tools, including
ship-carpenters’ tools, and sold them in New
York. During the war ha made surgical
instruments for the surgeons of the confed
erate army.
While running a locomotive, he concluded
that there was no need of being in the ditch
as often as engineers find themselves, and
he invented a combination rail, which pre
vents the derailing of cars, even after the
flange breaks off a wheel.
The physicians give the machine a hearty
indorsement, and sewing machine experts
have said that with good management the
company ought to sell 80,000 machines the
first year. That would bring into the state
$1,000,000 where $500,000 now goes out.
The motor machine will be made to sell
for the same price as other first-class
machines. Its economy is one of its best
features. The motor will be sold for a price
within the reach of everybody.
A Remarkable Record.
The Mathews Free Press tells of a re
markable woman, as follows; For eighty
one years she has resided withiu three miles
of where she was born. Pifty-s.x years ago
an orphan, poor, homeless and nearly dead
with dropsy, she entered as nui se the house
in which we now write. She at once as
sumed the responsible duty of giving catnip
tea to the writer and keeping him, then an
infant, out of mischief. Though perhaps the
third oldest person in the county, she is in
good health, cheerful, and lives with a
member of the same family that first gave
her a home as above. She has been for
fifty years a Baptist, and from an income
of $25 pays the preacher, beside giving to
missions aud other charitable purposes. She
has never been charged a doctor’s bill, and
never paid for a meal or a night’s lodging.
She milks and churns regularly, and has for
seventy-one years, though she has not tasted
either milk or butter in over fifty
years. She drinks neither tea nor coffee,
abd has never been addicted to the
use of tobacco or any other stimulant
in any form. She never sleeps with a win
dow up and never had a bedroom with a
fireplace in it. She has an unbroken set of
dishes she has tail sixty-seven yea s.Sho als >
has dishes that were bought 100 years ago.
She wears clothing she wove with her own
hands over fifty years ago, and wears to
cbuich dresses she has worn twenty-five
years. She has handkerchiefs thirty-five
years old and never lost ha If a dozen handker
chiefs in her life. She never starches her
doth* s. She never made but one prom
issory note and never took but oue. She
reads tho finest print without glasses and
has read the Bible through nine times in the
last eighteen month*. She attends preach
ing regularly and expects to attend the ex
position t is fall.
A Mixed Up Fish Story.
Romeo in Greensboro Sun.
Ben Waller tells another fish story in such
an excited and hasty manner t at 1 am un
able to say whether it was a catfish that
weighed twenty pounds and swallowed a
full grown turtle, or a turtle that had swal
lowed the catfish. But be that as It may,
“There was in its stomach." says Mr,
Waller, “a half digested sardine box!” Now
that was a pretty hard substance to digest
in our mind, but we could not break the
rules of etiquette by showing our fastidious
taste while sitting at bis table of informa
tion.
