But he had become warv and would not besteered. He thought be bad been ski tied long enough. So sev eral of tho boys got together and fixed up a scheme for bini. "•‘l’he proprietor of one of the batch front ing oi Union square was approached, and reuddv fell into the plan to increa e his bank account A club was organized, and in duo time JXr. Dixey was induced to be come a member of the very select organiza tion. Rooms had been fitted up i.a ail ele gant manner, and at first nothing stronger than short-card games were played. , "That was not strong enough, and soon poker, hearts, ea ino, stud ands milar childish amuseme t; had to take a back seat. A faro layout was sent for, and the gentlemen of tiie club who were looking for quick action on their money were soon satislied. Of c mrse ijiey had to have a proftssiouai to deai and another for a look out. “I’hen someh dy put in a bank roll. Per haps an examination of the books of tue betel man I spike of would show where that came from. The club organization was abandoned, and the place took on the apDoarance ot a regular gambling h otise. "Well, Dixey came around just tho same, knowing that e was in the temple of the tickle goddess, Fortune, but satisfied that he was still in the house of his friends. None of the ordinary sports were admitted. There was no hole iu the door, and the elect few who were admitted had keys, [lixei brought his bundle around every night anil played’em pretty high. At times he got a good hold on the tail of the tiger, and gave it such a twist tr.nt the beast’s face took on a most distressed look. "It was noticeable after awhile that Dixey did not win, as he had boon in the habit, of doing, and then luck went back on him and he began to lose. Then the" let him win again, just to encourage him," but he never got to tho top again. "Tho result was that at the end of the season he was practically broke. That, 1 think, was pretty g'O l losing. Just think of it—a colu fIUO.OOO lost against the bank.” This little tale led to the revival of tho stories ah >ut the big winning made bv Dink bans live years ago. He reached New i ; -c one nay with a few hundred dollars in his pocket. He dropped in at a Barclay Street House in the afteruo m and started in a faro game. Luck was with him from the start and he won $3,000 before stopping ihe s une evening Davis visited a noted re sort up Broadway and won a gre ,t deal more. Just how much was not known at , time.

He was good-natured, h iwover, and when the dealer was shuffling the cards or waiting for him to place bis . bets he cracked jokes with the spectators. When daylight broke he was ready to cash in ? 10,000. Prentice could never win when” he had money, but was alw ys lucky when reduced to his last doliar. He earned about SO,OOO a year, ad was always broke at tho ead of the season. At one time tho spurting me l made up a purse to send him to Hot Springs. He stayed there as long as his money lasted, and went to New Orleans. With only $2 to his name he won $3,300, and he started back to Now York, lie drooped his money soon after getting back, ar.d though it was the dead of winter, ho pawned his overcoat for $lO and lost that. He walked out of the house and met a friend who asked him to go over to the St. James and get a drink. Knowing his con dition tho friend gave him the change out of a silver dollar. With this 75 cents Pren tice went bac r and before morning had won $9.50 and redeemed his overcoat. Pat Staeedy has made and lost several fortunes over the faro table. Last fall he won $35,000 against the New York batik-. When he was running a game in Chicago a rival came around with his bank roll and announced that he had coma to close up Mr. Sheedy’s place. He lost $15,000. Some amusing things happen around the gam ling houses. One of the waiters at tiie Hollywood staked 50 cents on the turn of a card here two weeks ago, and inside of three days had accumulated $5,600. He was so elated that he could not contain himself, and getting his particular friend in tow they proceeded to make howling swells of themselves In the literal sens'. They bought loud clothes and iols of jewelry, and drank wine until they were full to tne necks. They rushed into the clubs as it they were millionaires and pushed their way to the tables in an offensive manner. They playod their money si recklossly that an old gray-headed "lookout” said to them: “You’d better hold out enough money to buy a stack of aprons with; you’ll need ’em soon.” They wish they had taken his advice, as their money soon vanished, and now they are at work again for $8 a week a id their board. EX-WIDOW FRANKIE M’KHS. Has Arthur Branacombe Got a Dlvorco From Number One? From, the .Veto York Sun. A young man landed from the Pacific Mail steamer in this city about sis weeks ago who bids fair to gain as much, if no t more, notoriety than the young woman whom he married last woek has gained. The story of Frankie Browu-lleKee is a queer one, and the story of her new husband is queer, too. The young woman is tho daughter of the late Hiram Brown of Oakland, Cal., and on his death found herself heiress to ab out $50,000. She immediately began enjoying herself. Among her friends was a young widow, handsome and vivacious, upon whom the beaux of Oakland and San Francisco danced attendance assiduously. Frankie envied her friend, and cast ab m for a way t > get her sii ire of the attention bestowed upon the dashi ig widow. She talked it over with a friend, Capt. Apgar. "I think if you had the widow’s clothes on you would be as pretty as she is,” said he. Tliis put a notion int > Frankie’s head. She tried on a mourning bonnet, and it set off her bronze red hair to great advening >. Her cheeks appeared to bloom better aid her teeth seethed whiter. She bad solve 1 the problem. She would be a young widow. O.i wings of stormy emotions she flew to Capt. Apgar., Yes, ho thought he could fix it. What was wanted was a respectable consumptive, who would quickly givo up the ghost after marrying F, ankio.” He was to be paid for his services and the i go his way, leaving Frankie to wai t a few days, or maybe weeks for the j jyful news of his demise. It was a great scheme if it could be work 'd. It was worked. Capt. Apgar had a i ac ciuaintance, Dr. Anson A. Dupuy, who was doctoring a young man named Frank McKee. Th 9 young fellow was a printer, and on an assertion by thedoctor that in a very snort time he would “pass in his checks.” it was decided that he and Frankie should be m arried. The doctor called upon his patient and unfolded the scheme. The young mm didn’t relish the speculate i on h s last breath, but when he learned that she would pay ali his expenses until his dcrth and give him an elaborate funeral he concluded that ho ua l better accept the offer, as it enabled him to live and die in comparative affluence. He had visions of cocktails and wn in ley sours galore, for Mr. McKee wa con vivial in bis tast s. He told tho doctor that that he was ready to treat with the young lady. A meeting was arranged w hich was en tirely satisfactory to both contracting par ties. The deat ly pallor of McKee’s face was a strong card in his favor, if he ha 1 been healthy. Frankie might have loved him, for he was fair to look upon; but Frankie was bent on being a widow. She married the young fellow and gave him his first installment of money, Tnen she visi ted her dressmaker and ordered an elabor ate outfit of black. The milliners hurried their work to build up the bewitching bo - nets and hats for the eccentric girl. A week after her marriage her in turning outfit wa- ready, and tnen Frankie sat down with folded hands and waited for her husband to die. Every time the door ball rang she jumped in expectation, but the days, weeks, and months rolled round, and still tho pa tient was alive. At last messengers came from the sick beu. Her husband was slowly sinking. He couldn’t last much long r, and there wore calls for money to pay sundry biiis, which she gave. At last tiiis sort of thing became monotonous, and she proposed to visit her dying husband and learn how long ue was going to kaep up the farce of living when she was paying him so well to die. Y .ung McKee got wind of this visit, and concluded the game was up, for, be it known, he wasn’t qui e as sick as ~e wanted her to believe. She was about to b ar i a train at Broad way' and Seventh street in Oakland to go to San Francisco to visit her dying husband, when a hand was laid on ner arm. She looked np in surprise. She didn’t know the broad-shouldered, well-built, and slightly portly young man, though his face some how looked familiar. Ho smiled pleasantly, and she racked her brain to place him. Then he told her that he w'as Frank McKee and her lawful husband. She let his hand go instanter, and nearly fainted, but her auger revived her, and then there was a scene. She upbraided him for not carrying out his agreement and dying as per th& time card she nad fix.'d for him. He explained that the sudden inti macy with the good things of life had acted as a tonic, and that instead of dying he looked forward to many happy years in her society. This railed Frankie, and stamping her pretty foot, she empnatically refused to live with him. Then he demanded money, end a settlement was made upon him. AVhen this was gone in riotous living he made more demands, which she honored until she saw that if she kept that sort of thing up she would find the bottom of her purse, so she packed up and went to Paris. When McKee found that she had flown he took t > drink in dead earnest, and in six months Frankie was a widow in dead earn est. The joyful news was cabled to her, and she returned quickly to the scene of her childhood. While the wife of the consump tive printer she had been consumed with love for one Arthur Branscombe. Turee years ago two actors, Harry Emmet and Arthur Branscombe, landed in San Fran cisco from the Australian steamship. Emmet was a good actor, but Bransc mibe was amateurish. These two secureal employ ment shortly after landing, as reporters on the Alta California , and did good work during the G. A. R. reunion there. The two chums separated, however, and Emmet has boon in New York for the last two seasons. Branscombe went barn st inning about the Pacific coast provincial towns. THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, AUGUST 17, 1889. In San Francisco he met Frankie B own- I McKee. S:e fell iu love wita hnn. He is fi e looking, has a Greek face, blonde curly hair, a pretty mustache, and blue eyes— just the kind of a fellow to please red headed Frankie. Branso cube is lame in one leg. but that di iu’t deter him from walking into her affections. They met, loved, and promised to marry as soon as tho consumptive printer should’die. BranscjmPo came east via the Pacific Mail steamship ami ma le many friends on the lower and upper Rialto. Well sup plied with money, he was a prime favorite with those actors who during the summer exist on lunch and and inks at somebody’s expense, not their own. Branscombe was an adept at drawing the lo ig bow, and his largo salary as support to Genevieve Ward m Australia and uis huntiug stories were equslly thrilling. He was missed about ten davs ago. He had skipped to Chicago, and the reason given was that he had a s important busi ness engagement. Last week’s Chronicle aid Music and Drama of San Francisco explai ied the business he had. for these two papers announced the marriage in Chicago of Arthur Branscombe of Kent, England, to Mrs. Frankie Brown-McKee of Oakland, Cal. A glar.ce into the history of this young man is interesting. He is the only son of an E igli h clergyman who before his death lived la Ke it, where his family now lives. Young Branscombe wandered away from home and finallv turned up in Melbourne. Ho embraced the stage as a profession and managed to live, though his salary, while in Miss Ward’s c imp ny was only about sl2 a week. This is about t e biggest salary he got in Australia, but iu San Francisco ho got $lO fro m Al Herman of Baldwin’s theater. Whether or not he has got a divorce from his Now Z'aland wife is a matter now agitating the breasts of his intimates. Harry Emmet, who was Branscombo’s companion from Australia, was seen, and in answer to the question what he knew about Brans combe’s New Zealand wife sail: “I have written a letter to Arthur in regard to it, an 1 1 don’t care to say any thing until I hear from him.” Another actor who knew Branscombe in Anstralii said: “Yes, I met his wife, anl I have dandled his little girl on my knee. I don’t know as I blame Branscombe much for running away from his New Zealand wife, as he is from a way up family in England and his wife is ratoer on the washerwoman style, don’t yer know. But his little girl is a corker. She’s as smart as a steel trap, and can give little Gertie Hoaiau points on acting. What! you don’t mean to sav that the fellow has-married the Oakland widow. Well, wall, well!” Frank W. Kinne knew Brausombe, and said: “Yes, I knew Arthur very well. I was night editor of the San Francisco Alta California when bo and Emmet came to work on the paper as reporters. I know that he has a wife in New Zealand and I was thunderstruck when I heard of his marriage to Frankie Brown-McKee. I al wavs c msidered Arthur a gentleman, and I don’t reniomber of his over trying to im press me with any lies. I was in tho roo m of Fred Millis, tho Australian ventriloquist one afttrnoon. Arthur was there, and wo got talking about div Tens. Miilis said he wanted to got a divorce from his Austral ian wife, and Arthur sai i he was foolish to s;iend money for that. II • remarked that ho wouldn’t pay a cant t > get rid of his en cumbranc*. I saw a picture which I in ferred was his baby, though he didn’t say so in s> many wards. Ban co nbo told mo that hs never would return to Australia. The impres'i >n prevails in San Francisco that ho was tho seco il so iof an English lord. I never lookel upon him as an ad venturer, as he was a hard w rking re porter. I didn’t see him as an actor. Ho is about 42 ye .rs old and looks to be 30. THE DADS MAS3ACKB. A Tragic Scene in Florida's Early His tory Kecallcd. Bhookvi i.LE, Fl v., Aug. 16. —Tho scene of the Dade massacre is three miles north ward from the Massacre postoffice. At this sp it Gen. Dade and all Lis men except two were unmercifully slaughtered by In dians. Dado was on the way from Tampa to the upper part of the state in ihe dischargo of the duties of wa fare. One m b south of Massacre he and his men ate breakfast.and until this day the pon l from which thev got water to make c flee is called the “Dade breakfast pond.” After break ing the r fast the,* moved on northward four miles, when, unawares, they walked into the trap set for them by the enemy. This trap con sisted of a peculiarly shaped pond on ono side, and a rnviuo running out from it, almost on a parallel with it, but curving slightly from it on the other side. Along tin i ravine the Indians had placed thein sel res ready to pounce upon their white foes while in the trap. Only one of the surviving men reached his destination to tell the thrilling story. Ho related their almost marvelous escape. Ono version of the story has it that they fell down among the siain at.d feined to bo dead; the other version has it that they took to the pond and theieby saved them selves. Whether either is correct, it mav not be quite certain. I think it is more likely that they took to tho water. It is said that scars on the trees and tho sigus of the disinterment of the bodies of tho soldiers for removal to St. Augustine are stiff visible. I have seen tlio pyramids of Coquina erected over tho graves of the dead heroes in the militiry cemetery in the United States barracks at tho “Ancient City.” A relic taken from the battle ground is a small cannoa, which was found in the pond. A tree was felled on tho snot from which was cut a 10 inch plank, in the heart of which tree was found a bullet, supposed to have been lodged there during that famous and fatal battle. Paul XV illts.

Doctor—NVell.it is hardly professional to ask sm h information from a doctor; in fact* I am inclined to think he would not he helping his practice mm it by saying anything in favor of the Charter Oak Stoves. But ns I have one in m y kitchen, and know something about it* I think I can enlighten vou. Of course it would take quite a long lecture to explain every— thing to you scientifically, and w e have not time for that. Count Kumford. an American, who was Knighted in Europe for his scientific attainments, pointed out. nearly a hundred years ago, that baking and roasting meats in air tight ovens was wrong, and he proved it by actual experiments. He asserted that it was as essential to health that our food should bo cooked in pure, fresh air as that we should breathe pure, fresh air, and that air-tight ovens render the air impure, and the food rooked therein became tainted and unhealthy. Ituthow" to properly ventilate the oven was not discovered for many years after Count Kumford’s, time. The difficulty was to allow fresh air to enter the oven uniformly without cooling it per ceptibly, and this has been accomplished by Mr. Filley’s invention of the Win* Gauze Oven Door. The air enters the oven through the wire gauze in the form of very fine jets, and at* there is a large surface of gauze the air is diffused and heated w iihout farming air current* to cool tho oven, rooking might he called a chemical decomposition with the aid of heat, hut oxygen is as necessary as the heat; this is furnished by the air. Again, the meat roasted in afight oven loses a large part of its most nutritious Juices, which become dried out. Ven tilating the oven prevents this waste, and the meat is cooked perfectly in the same way a* broiling over a charcoal fire or roasting In tho old fashioned spit of our grandfather’s time. Fresh air. or the oxygen furnished by tlie air. also impro\ os the baking of bread, making it much lighter and more easily digested. Bread baked in a < barter Oak Stove with WiroGauza Oven Doors will never mould, and that is very strong proof that the bread is pure and healthy. Charles—Thank you, doctor. 1 think w e understand the reason much better now.
