Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1874-01-31

GREAT disappointment is felt in Vic
tOria at the report of Mr.. Mackenzie, the
government cOal-viewer for New South
Wales. Hitherto all the coal burnt
in Victoria has come from New
South Wales and Tasmania. Previous
prOspectors have held out hopes
of coal in Victoria, and consid er-
able sums have beeen thrown away in
testing the alleged discoveries, but Mr..
Mackenzie's report is very decisive
against any further borings. Bornee,
however, threatens, unless the Chinese
exhibit extraordinary vitality, to ac-
quire the coal trade of the eastern
seas. Hitherto New South Wales
has been supplying North China and
Japan, but the discoveries of anthra-
cite, bituminous, and camel coal in
Sarawak will probably affect, to great
extent, the coal trade east Of the Straits.
Strangely enough, the mines of Sara
wak-said to produce asteam-coal equal
to West Hartley-are worked by China
men, who, in their native country, pos
sess coal enough TO supply the wants of
the world.

HOW IT GOES
Each card contains different combination Of
figures. 3ye will suppose that the reader has
bought the card slus:n by the diagram. paying
Is cents, so CENTS o. dollar, or moro for it. rs
the case may be. There are ten others. each
having bought card. Tho globe containing tho
marbles is whirlcd rapidly around, and Il ball Is
taken cut and the number called, If you find
that number On yonr card, place button over
it, aud SO on, as; often as one OF your card-nrm-
bcrs is called. II you are lucky you will get fird
buttons in row after fifteen or twenty balls have
been called cut. For instance, you 'tina that .,
80, II, and Sc have been called; IS ia needed to
complete the row; when 78. comes you call
" Keno" and the rool, less tho percentage, Is
paid to you. In the meantime, other players
hare been putting on buttons, and the ga1no
grows exciting as tboy get within but one num-
ber Of q row. You happen to get IT
fr,t, and all tho rest arc disappointed.
Then it Is that characteristic ordinations
denote annoyance and disgust On the
part of the unlucly ones. Each piece Of
pastcboard has lts great number. ranging from
10 eco, and 4 record is kept Of tho cards taken,
arc the keno il verified by reference to the balls
yhici, have been drawn from the GLOBE
D1y1DlSt1 THE POOL
It frequently happens that two players keno

nav occur on different cards, though ia different
ordes. In that case the; pool is disiaad. T
tLeso azo ten players, u 50 ceats per card, the
, 1874-02-08

pool is 81 so, as the dealer takes out 10 per
cent. Keno can only be called upon cards which
are registered as having beon PAID. for Tao
choice Of cards is made at ltap-hazard, us there
drawn from the globe it is interesting to noto
that if you had chosen the card next to the one
you took you would have secured tho coveted
row OF numbers: This also leads to reSretf'il
and nngry calculations, followed BY a general
laugh ut the expcrse of the unlucky ones.
THE PROFITS.
It is astonishing that keno should be played ut
ALL since it lack3 the essential element OF taiT-
ness. Tho proprietor gets all the money IN t1o
long run in the shape Of hin percentage. no mat
ter who wins in tho meantime. Three men may
start with so each, buying cards at II each !;
they may win an equal number OF pools, aud at
the end of Il few hours not one OF them will have
Il cent. The dealer will have it all il thoy play
long enough. The profits OF woll-patronized
game amount to upwards Of $40 per day, over
light and the players play this for the privilege
OF having chance to s1uandcr their money.
Few Of them play for amusement; nearly all ex-
poet to win money by it. Occasionally they are
successful, as when the pool is largo and the
player is satisfied with winning one; but
this ia not human nature, and the money
always finds lis way to the pocket Of the dealor.
In return for his Investment, the player is fur
niehed With an unhealthy excitement, and
rather palatabie lunch when ho geta hungry;
nothing more. AS general rule, keno games
are conducted honestly, though there are plenty
OF chances for cheating. The dealer may regis
ter card which is not held by any player, and
make tint card win by calling false numbers as
tho balls are drawn. for everybody is too busy
to see that lie calls tho numbers correctly; or no
may bo in collusion witt, player, and, BY ca}l-
ing his number, sive him the keno; or, ho may
pay on less cards than have been sold. These
fraudulent practices may be resorted to ut times
but IS rule the proprietor ia satisfied with the
legitimate percentage. The desired result can
bo accomplished without tho aid of fraud, though
it is understood to be . standing rule in keno
houses to register favor cards than are sold,
when they are 30 numerous as to render detcc-
tion difficult. A 81 keno" occupies about seven
minutes. and if ono card is counted ont, tho gain
is considerable in tho course Of the day and
night.
