The following is the certificate referred
The evening Argus. [volume] (Rock Island, Ill.) 1861-1871, 1867-08-07

The New York World says that in New
York reside about four hundred and Fifty
men who earn their livelihood solely by de-
coying fools to faro. On the average, the
ropers-in Of the metropolis earn about $50
per week each, or to speak accurately, abont
$1,000 per annum. Some weeks profess
sional may clear many hundreds of dollars,
agaiu for weeks he may receive No commits
sions whatever: but, cumputing the losses
and gains of the seasons, his yearly profits
may be estimated at the figures just given.
Taking these as a basis, it is calculated that
about 1920, 900, or nearly three-quarters of q
million dollars per annum tabout so, 600 per
diem), passes into the pockets of the ropers-
in, merely as their commissions on the losses
of their victims, which must amount, on the
average, to about three times these figures
or eyer $2,O00,000 per annum, lost unfairly
at play through the instrumentahty of agents
One of the largest operations in roping Ill
ccurred about three months since, the vic
tim being southern merchant, soiournine
at the st. Nicholas hotel. His loss at faro
asplayed ON Prince street, amounted to over
$4,000; his friend, a billiard sharper and rop
erin, receiving $2,s2l of the money down a:
commission. In a somewhat similar case
the roper-in was himself cheated by his prin
cipal, who paid him but $300-the one-tentf
of his commission. A circus actor a heavy
outside operator, recently enticed 1920
from the pockets of eountryman into the
Golfers of faro bank up town.

THE BLACK CRooK.-The following ex-
tract, in relation to the Black Crook, to be
performed in this city next Monday and
Tuesday evenings, is taken from the Du-
buque Herald's notice of the first perform
ance given in that city ; :.
"The long promised 'Black Crook was
last night presented for the first time to a
Dubuque audience" e e.- r,- rs.
"To first dispose of the piece itself, the
plot amounts to nothing. OF course, there
is girl and two loyers-the one count,
the other poor artist. The other leading
characters are hump-backed sorcerer, 1.-THE
Black Crook and the devil. The count
thrusts the artist in prison to get him out of
the way, but wants to get him out of the
world--to accomplish which he calls on the
sorcerer, who calls on the devil. Between
them the artist is brought into much of a fix,
but just at the dangerous moment reseues
the Queen of the Fairies from O. perilous pc
sltlon, who, in return, counteracts the eff
| forts of the sorcer and the devil, and saves
the artist. OF course there is the devil, 10
pay, and for his assistance to the sorcerer
Satan charges him a soul every year. The
| sorcerer tries to secure that of the artist for
| his birthstone majesty, but failing in that
| had to go to the devil himself
But the plot serves chiefly as back
| ground on which to show gorgeous scenery,
| startling mechanical effects, and bewilder
ing ballet. And here Dubuquers certainly
saw something far beyond what was eve,
presented in the city before.
"The tableaux of the 'Grotto of Golden
Stalactites,' the home of the fairy queen
Stalacta, was brilliant beyond description
But even this was outdone by the tableauy
at the close of the act the Shower of Gold
also the final tableaux, the Lovers Home
and Shower of Dew Drops Nothing
equaling,sor even approaching them has es
er before been presented in Dubuque.
| The dancing-and there was any amount
of twas received with great applause, es
pecially that of Mons. Frederick and Mile
| Emile. The singing was praiseworthy-
Miss Mares 'Pittipat, and You Naughty
Naughty Men both being encored.
"As for the reputation the Black Crool
has in some way won for scantiness of ward
robe, it is mystery TO US how it originated
unless in the fertile brain of some shrewt
manager, who started the outcry to attract :
| crowd Even the Fat Contributor, who
when asked to write take-of on the Black
| Crook, replied that he couldn't see anything
to take off, would have had no foundation
| for a pun last night. Any person visiting
the play with the expectation of witnessing
| anything that would have tendency t.
raise the faintest blush upon the cheek o
Modesty herselfsw viii be greatly disappoint
