Khr fhe Enno Rnnk Wins.

That is something that agreat many
clever men who play great deal
against faro do not know. II is not
that there is a steady percentage in
the banks favor in the cases OF splits.
but that the bank plays with the most
money, that the bank always win in
the end. That is simple enough
proposition, but is seldom understood.
A bank with s25, 900 cash has as ma
ny more chances of winning in the
end the money Of a player worth
500 as the banks capital is greater
than tho players. The player can
only lose his 500 once; the bank can
lose two hundred and City times be
fore il has reduced its chances 10 the
players. In other words, the chances
in favor Of the bank, as quoted, in
addition to the percentage on "splits,
is two hundred and fifty one. This
is susceptible of absolute mathemati'
cal demonstration, yet will be read
with Amusement by many who oeca'
sionally buck the tiger. The Ordiua
ry player who goes with ten or twenty
dollars to lose in bank having 800,
600 to lose, can do little Sunday
morning work in figuring out his
chances of beating the bank San

there comes a time when weT-when

LATEST TELEGRAMS.
Republican programme

Washington, There have been
frequent conferences of prominent
republican leaders lere during the
past two weeks, the result Of which
has been an agreement to present to
the republican caucus that will be
held next week programme upon
which it is hoped all republicans can
unite. Such republican leaders as
Senators Edmunds, Sherman, and
Allison, Representatives Vassar,
Kelly and Keifer, Secretary Folger,
and Ex-Governor Fenton, of New
York, have taken part in these con-
ferences and definite line OF policy
has been marked out in
relation of taxation and legislation
on civil service reform, to which the
support of the administration has
been not My prompted, but was of
fered most cordially. The idea is
is that at the caucus the recommen-
dalton of the President and secre-
tary of the treasury on tax reduc-
tion, as made in the message and
report, shall be incorporated into
the revenue bill now pending in
the Senate. 1t is hoped in this
manner to unite the republicans in
Congress, and direct the attention OF
the party everywhere to these mea-
sures, so that in new issues fractional
quarrels and local disturbances in
the party will be dropped.
