MONTE CARLO WAS SCARED.
Only Time a “System Play” Ever
Gave the Bank Any l neasinesa.
From the London Exchange.
Lord Rosslyn’s recent vain attempt
to "break the bank at Monte Carlo”
has brought out a number of old stor
ies regarding similar attempts in the
past. Perhaps the best of the lot as
told by an official.of Monte Carlo to
a London writer. This official declares
that never but once did a “system
play" give the bank any uneasiness.
"You remember,” said he, “what is
generally known as the suicides’ table
—the second on the right on entering
the roulette room? It was at that
table a few years ago that I saw one
afternoon an old lady who, like many
others here, makes her living by ob
taining good places at the table on
the opening of play and selling them
to eager players an hour or two later.
Tigs old lady, whom you must know
as Mme. X , was well known to
me, and I was surprised to notice that
she had a young Italian with her.
They were playing occasionally with
5-franc pieces and winning. But so
small were the stakes that I took very
little notice save ito congratulate mad
am when she rose to go home to din
ner. Then the old woman turned to
me with an air of surprising defiance
and asked: ‘How much will m’sieur
give me for the secret of an infallible
system of roulette?’ ‘Nothing.’ I re
sponded, laughing; ‘we are not buy
ing secrets to-day.’ To this she re
sponded: ‘Ah, but m’sieur will be glad
to purchase it some day. Bon soiri’
And she was gone.
For several days I did not see her,
and the matter passed completely from
my mind. One afternoon, a week later,
however, I saw her at the same table
in company with three men. The ‘chef
de partie’ whispered to me that they
were winning heavily, and I told the
surveillants to watch and report. An
hour later one of the men came to
me and stated that madam and her
party had won 70,000 francs, and that,
strangest of all, they only played for
the maximum and \ scarcely ever lost.
"That evening I myself looked on at
their play several times, and certainly
they seemed to win each time they
staked. The curious point, however, was
that in twenty coups or so they would
never play more than twice, first one of
the partners and then the others, but
on each occasion they wort the maxi
mum. Indeed, the system certainly
seemed to bear out the prophesy of
madam, >and was actually infallible.
“A week passed and their winnings
amounted to a very respectable sum,
all of which had been safely lodged in
the Credit Lyonnais and transmitted
to a bank at Milan The matter was
now growing serious, for three times
they had broken the bank at the table
where they played, and at length I
telegraphed to M. Blanc in Paris. He
asked for further reports, and these
being still unsatisfactory, he came to
Monte Carlo" to see for himself. What
he saw greatly disconcerted him. The
gang was winning most assuredly, but
by what system we were utterly una
ble to discover. Well, to cut a long
story short, M. Blanc had an inter
view with madama, and, after long
haggling, he purchased the secret for
70,000 francs—and it was cheap at the
price,
“The money being paid after play
had ended and the rooms closed,
madame led us to the table and as
tounded us by her statement. She told
us that after some years at the table
she knew quite well that no system
was infallible until of a sudden, when
registering the numbers, she noticed
that certain of them always followed
each, other. Thus, if the croupier spun
with the number 9 opposite him, 26 was
certain to be the next, and if zero was
in the same position. 32 would surely
follow. For days she watched this,
then played and won. She quickly got
together her little syndicate of Italians,
and upon her observations they profit
ed nearly 300,000 francs.
“And why was it that these numbers
turned up in sequence? Well, it was
quite simple when madame told us.
The roulette wheel had become warped
by the heat, and was not quite round.
Hence if turned from a, certain point,
it invariably stuck at a certain other
point, therefore the players never hesi
tated to risk a, maximum. That is the
only system which has ever been in
fallible,’’ added the courtly official,
“and I need hardly tell you that since
we have been careful to test the
wheels every day.”
AFTER LIFE'S FITFUL FEVER.
Toticliihr Trlbnte Plil to an Ala
bama Woman.
From the Eufaula Times.
Died. —Katy Chambers was born
Feb. 25, 1822, and died Jan. 25, 1902.
After several months illness at first,
a letting down, as old people are sub
ject too, and second an attack of bil
ious fever and third a second stroke
of paralysis, she passed all ovfer.
"Prior to seven years ago, she was
as active as any one of her age, and
could say more because she was an
extraordinary woman in every respect
—well balanced, and never, no, never
in the extreme, in anything unless it
was to help others and go liking her
self If necessary. She joined the Pres
byterian Church in early life. She
loved all and especially Christians, in
every denomination and often was fill
ed to the utmost with the presents
and of her acceptance with God. She
once shouted and praised God aloud.
Some yeai-s ago at Wilkins Springs
camp meeting while Bro. Wade was
doing some of his best reading on the
highwaV at 8 o'clock a. m., she said
she had finished the spirit as long as
she could. She was advised by rela
tives to hold in, but it only added the
fuel to the fire—well, to say the least.
She was one grand and graceful, and
noblest of all women, none better in
the past and doubt there will ever be
better in the future, no one ever knew
her all of all classes and callers 'out
to love her and always the friend of
the meeker and poorer classes, her
house runs the home for many more
travelers, never turned one away, and
as for venders they were all right, once
they got to her house and made it con
venient to be there often.
"She was twice married, first to Mr.
W. B. Screws and second to Mr. W.
H. Chambers, and had two children by
W. B. Screws and none by W. H.
Chambers, last and not least. It Is
strange and yet it is so. Sister Cham
bers was one woman. Mary has said
first and last never has one 11! word
spoken for or against her.
"She was born in North Carolina and
brought to this county by her parents
when quite young. She rambled only
about two miles from the old home
stead during her good age of eighty
years, less a few days. She lay down
and died in the faith and was buried
at New Hope Church Cemetery at the
head of her former husband, being no
room on both sides, then to wait the
resurrection morn. Farewell, my dear
wife, until we meet again. H.”

SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: MONDAY. MARCH 10. 1902.
JOE HAS A CHANCE.
Honesty and n Lost Pocketbook
Bring Lurk to the Little Street
Boy.
By Charles Battell Loomis.
(Copyright, 1902, by C. B. Loomis).
It was about 5 in the morning and
a crowd of people had just left the
Pennsylvania ferry slip and were hur
rying up Courtland street to their va
rious destinations. Joe Dempsey was
hastening with them, intent on get
ting a chance to carry a valise, but
everyone seemed particularly able
bodied this bracing December morn
ing and each person addressed tight
ened his clutch on his bag and shook
his head.
Joe was about to turn back and try
his luck with the Jersey Central crowd
that would be due in a minute when
he saw a pocketbook fall to the ground.
The man who had dropped it rushed
along intent (only on catching the next
elevated train which he saw coming
up Church street. No one but Joe
saw the pocketbook fall and he
whipped it up in a second and Instead
of handing it back at once, ran into
a doorway to see whether there was
enough in it to make its return a mat
ter for reward. A hasty examination
showed him that there were over SSO
in it and he stuffed it in his pocket
and rushed out after the mn.
Where had he gone? Ah, there he
was hurrying up the elevated stains.
Joe knew him by his long gray coat.
No, that wasn’t him, either. Joe’s
man in a similar coat was already
nearly at the top of t'he stairs. The
boy skipped up the stairs two steps
at a time, brushed by the man he had
mistaken for the loser of the pocket
book, bought a ticket and dropped it in
to the box just too late to catch the up
town train. He distinctly saw the man
he was after and he yelled to him, but
that gentleman, not knowing he had
sustained a loss, was serene in the con
sciousness that he had by a great
physical effort caught the train and
thus had saved nearly two whole min
utes.
One would think that it would be a
hopeless task to follow and find a man
who has just gone away on an elevated
train, and most boys would have giv
en up the chase and pocketed the
money; but Joe was honest, and there
was the spice of an adventure in the
affair. If the next train was not too
long in coming up, as!d he kept his
eye open for a gray-coated man, he
might be able to notice at what sta
tion he left the cars. Trains run on
scant headway during the rush hours,
and Joe’s eyesight was a little better
than normal.
“Lost our train, didn’t me, sonny?”
said the man whom Joe had beaten in
his flight up the stairway. *‘l hate to
miss a train. Phew!”
He was out of breath, and had lost
nearly two minutes beside, and there
are not over 500 minutes in a working
day.
Another train was in sight, and the
one they had missed had not yet turn
ed the corner at Murray street. “Yes,
I missed it, but dis one is a special, an’
it’ll do me just de same,” said Joe,
with a mock importance that he was
fond of assuming. The man looked
genial, and he was tempted to tell
i.,m what had caused his haste, but on
second thoughts he decided to say
nothing. A secret was safer if it was
held in one head.
When the train came in Joe, who
was a sociable chap, would have liked
to sit next t'he man and talk about the
topics of the day—Marconi’s wireless
telegraphy, the visit of “de Dutch King
Henry,” sporting matters and the
thousand and one things that the
wideawake hoy was interested in—but
he must stand on the platform of the
first car and keep a sharp lookout
ahead, and, if possible, discover the
departure of the gray-coated man.
Fat* was kind to the boy, and before
they had gone two stations the train
ahead slackened, for some unexplained
cause, and they followed slowly, and
not more than a block behind, until
Forty-second street was reached, and
then Joe saw Graycoat step off and
hurry to the stairway, his long over
coat flapping on his calves.
“Hurry, hurry, hurry!” said Joe, out
loud, as if addressing the engineer. A
decent time had to elapse before Joe's
train could pull into the station, and
while he waited the man made his way
to the street. Would he take the trol
ley to 'the Grand Central. If he did
Joe would have to give up the chase
or else go it blind and trust to chance.
He did not take the car, however, hut
walked rapidly east, and just then the
train gates were opened and Joe was
released from his “special.”
“Go it. Johnny!”
Joe looked over his shoulder. His ac
quaintance of the Cortland Street sta
tion was urging him on. He allowed
him a hasty wink, and then piled down
the steps as if they had been greased.
The man in the gray coat wa3 a half
black ahead, and walking like a steam
engine. He paused finally at a trunk
store that bore the sign A. Alfriend &
Cos., and with a lock at his watch, went
in. Joe gave a murmur of relief. His
game was caged. He rushed in after
him and ran up to him.
“Did youse drop a pocketbook?” said
he, visions of a reward filling his mind.
“I guess not,” said the man, calmly.
“Did you find one?”
“Look and see,” said Joe excitedly.
“oN need to look, sonny, because I
never carry a pocket-book. My money
always goes into this pocket, and here
it is.”
As he spoke he put his hand Into his
fob pocket and pulled out a slender roll
of hills.
“Chee!” ejaculated Joe. “And me fol
lyln’ you ’way up town.”
He pulled the pocketbook out of his
pocket as he spoke, and looked at it
with an expression of regret that was
laughable. It was quickly followed by
an expression of joy, but at this junc
ture Mr. Alfriend said:
“Well, you’re honest, anyway. Maybe
there's an address in it. Come into my
private office and we'll see what’s to
be done.” '
The pocketbook was found to contain
SB7, a recipe for making Venetian
cakes, a newspaper clipping about a
monkey and a parrot, and a white bone
button —not very substantial clews.
"I say,” said Joe. suspiciously. “I
t’ink dat flndin’s keepin’s w’en a fel
ler went free or four miles out of his
way to chase up der wrong duck—”
"No, my boy,” interrupted Mr. Al
friend. “The money doesn’t belong to
you any way you put it. The man who
lost it may need It badly. You can t
earn SB7 by taking a ride on the ele
vated from Courtland street to Forty
second. It was honest of you to chase
the man who dropped it, but your hon
esty must keep you at it until you’ve
made a big effort to find him. You
must advertise the loss. Do you think
he came out of the Pennsylvania ferry
house?”
“Sure. Chee, I wisht I’d a’ kept me
niout’ shut,” said Joe. His honesty
was very elemental. It was .one thing
to chase a man and deliver his money
up to him, but it was altogether too
far-fetched to go and advertise his loss
and perhaps tempt some fellow to
claim it who had no right to it. Joe’s
quick little brain had imagined himself
a capitalist. He was tired of drifting
about the streets, and he had decided
to use the money to set him up in the
fruit-vending business. And now to
give up ail claim to it. and perhaps
lose even the reward that should be
his, was a little beyond his notions of
what was fair.
“If you w'ant/’_s_aid_tb^_niajkJXlLfldL.
vertlse it myself and if the owner turns
up I’ll see to it that he hears what
you’ve done and you'll get a reward
If I have to pay—”
Further conversation was cut short
by the excited entrance of Joe’s fellow
passenger onithe elevated.
“Say, George, why didn’t you wait
for me? I’ve lost my pocketbook with
nearly a hundred dollars in it. Must
have had my pocket picked. What'll I
do about it? Had some loose change
In my pocket and paid my fare with
that so I’m not sure just when I lost
It. Went back to the station in Forty
second street, but couldn’t find it.”
The man had rattled on so fast that
although both Joe and Mr. Alfriend
tried hard to insert a word they
couldn’t begin to do it. When he had
finished, George said, “You ought to
lose money carrying it around in a
pocketbook like a woman. I guess this
is it.”
At this point Joe slapped his knee and
cried out “I was right der foist time,
after all. I t’ought it was you I was
chasin’, but dis man had der same kin'
of a coat an' he was runntn’ ter beat
der ban’ an' so I chased him. Youse
mus’ be brudders. Youse look mos'
der same. If ye'd told me you'd los’
der money I wouldn’ have came way
up --here.”
“Why, I didn't know I’d lost it until
I was out of the station. But we don’t
look so much alike as all that. My
brother has side whiskers and I have
a chin beard. But anyhow I’m glad
you found it.”
“Yes, and that recipe for Venetian
cakes,” said George, laughing.
“Oh, that's something that Martha
told me to give to Helen and I keep for
getting it.”
"Ye see,” said Joe, ‘lf I’d a went by
your faces I wouldn' have made no
mistake, but I stopped to see what
was in der pocket book an’ den I went
by der coats an’ der hustle, an' dis
feller had der same kin’ of a coat
on, but der biggest hustle an' w’en you
dropped der money you'se was jus' get
ting a hustle on so I mixed der two of
youse.”
"Well, it's all In the family,” said
George Alfriend “and my brother owes
you at least five dollars. Isn't that so,
Tom?”
“Sure” said Tom, taking a $5 bill out
of his pocketbook and handing it to
Joe.
“T’anks,” said Joe. “On'y I wisht de
owner never had toined up.”
“Well, where are you going now,”
said Mr. Thomas Alfriend as Joe, with
rather a disconsolate face, moved to
ward the door. “Are you working
anywhere?”
“No, boss, nuthin’ regulyer, Wisht I
was. Don’t you want a boy to run
errants?”
“Why of course we do.” said George,
quickly, as if to head Thomas oft from
saving no. “We want a live boy to
run errands and learn the business and
be honest and if you think you'll do you
needn’t go down town until evening.
What dd you think Tom?”
“T think.” said Tom. “that a chance
that comes in this way is a chance that
a wise boy will freeze on to.”
And .Toe froze to it.
NO TIME FOR HIM TO TALK.
An Aornsed Person Mnst Keep His
Month Shat or He I* Lost.
From the Indianapolis Journal.
"If wa can get a criminal to talking
we are all right,” said Detective Ger
ber the other day, “for if he is not
telling the truth he will contradict
himself the next half hour after he
first told the story. It seems funny,
but nevertheless it is true, that the
most experienced criminal will contra
dict himself if he is not telling the
truth, if you just keep asking him the
same question, changing the language
a little. It seems as if they simply
can’t remember the first story that
they told. But when they absolutely
refuse to talk then we are, as the say
ing is, ‘up against it.’ A criminal who
will not say a word is the hardest
man on earth to handle. We often get
men who will not talk and then we
have to hunt up evidence from the
outside to convict them.
"Very often the evidence we send
men up on is very slim, yet it is
enough to condemn them. I know not
long ago we sent a man up on a cuff
button. He was a known thief and
had it on him when searched; there
was an initial on the button which
corresponded with the one which had
been stolen, and the fellow finally con
fessed to doing the work. Another odd
case was that to which we saw a njan
who had done time In the penitentiary
going around town apparently doing
nothing, and yet he was well dressed.
One day I held him up and as he
could give no satisfactory answers
about himself, I searched him and
found two pieces of money on him.
One was a Scandinavian piece, while
the other was a peculiar looking pen
ny. Well, at the time I searched this
man we were looking for a burglar
who had entered a house in the ex
treme southern part of the city, but
there had been nothing said about any
money such as I had found in the
description of the stolen goods given
us. I went to the man whose house
had been entered for a more accurate
description, and during the talk he de
scribed the penny and Scandinavian
piece 1 had found, and when the ex
ccnviet was confronted with these
facts he confessed.”
"Is the detective we read about in
books anything like the real one?” the
captain was asked.
"Well, I should say not,” he said.
“Those stories are only written to
amuse and entertain, and there is noth
ing practical about them. A detec
tive does not have to be able to de
duce from circumstances to solve a
case. And so far as reading human
nature is concerned in finding crimi
nals, It is all stuff. About the only
way a detective solves a cage is by
working hard and never letting up an
a lead when he finds one. I know men
who have the making of fine detectives
in them, but they never succeed be
cause they do not know how to follow
a clue when they get one. They give
up too quick and haven’t the perse
verance that is required. One of the
principal things in being a detective
is experience with criminals. And
then a man has to have a good mem
ory for faces, so if he ever sees a crook
once he will know him the next time
he sees him.
“tf there is any one who thinks a
detective does not earn his monev I
wish he would come down here and go
with us a while, and he will then find
that we have no bed-of-roses position,
by any means. When working on a
case we are out hours at a time and
in all kinds of weather, and when we
are in hiding watching for someone
it becomes pretty tiresome sometimes,
especially on a cold night, when a man
may have to wait longer. Very often
we arrest burglars and have them
locked up before the people whose
house is robbed know It.
“We pan always tell a man who has
served two or three terms In prison
by his actions. I don't know what it
is about this class that gives them
away, but they can be spotted every
time, and we always keep in touch
with them, for they are good men for
reference. And so with a pickpocket—
we can generally tell him by his ac
tions. The noticeable thing about him
is ,that he never works in a crowd. He
always goes on the outside of it so he
will have some chance to escape. These
fellows work in gangs, and when the

WH IT THE OFFICI ALS SAY,
Some Part of Engine Mail Have
Broken. Says Vice President.
San Antonio, Tex., March B.—E. H.
Harriman, president of the Southern
Pacific, could not be seen to-night con
cerning the Maxon reck. Julius Krutt
sohnitt, vice president and general
manager of the road, spoke for Mr.
Harriman and made the following
statement:
“We have given out all information
we have received concerning the ac
cident. The place where it occurred
is on a nine-degree curve. If
the train was derailed from
his speed it would have jumped on the
outside rail. An examination shows
the derailment to have been on the in
side rail. The place where the derail
ment occurred was recently laid with
80-pound steel, the track is newly re
tied, it is rock ballasted and every tie
is equipped with a steel tie plate. The
roadbed at this point is the most per
fect on the line of the road. T. F.
Ryan, vice president of the Flint and
Pere Marquette Railroad, who was in
a private ear on the train, wired Mr.
Harriman concerning the accident, the
following being quoted from his tele
gram:
“It is my opinion that the engineer
is not to blame. I believe that an in
vestigation will prove that some part
of the engine broke. I base my opin
ion on a personal examination of the
ties outside of the rail on the side the
train went off.
"Every employe on the train,” con
tinued Mr. Kruttschnitt, "who can
throw any light on the accident, will
be thoroughly cross-questioned. Di
vision Surgeon Turner reports the in
jured persons getting along nicely, and
that all will recover.”
President E. H. Harriman, of the
Southern Pacific, accompanied by Vice
President and General Manager Julius
Kruttschnitt arrived In the city to-day,
and inspected the companies’ property
here. He Is non-committal as to the
object of his coming trip to Mexico. It
was intended for the party to leave
for Mexico to-night, but the departure
has been postponed until Monday.
Mr. Harriman was somewhat indis
posed to-day and retired early.
