In Memoriam OF Miss Julia
A. Rivins.


or two years a pupil of the Mary Shan
College, who died at Terrell Texas Oc
4th, Of typhoid fever, after an illness
sixteen days.
Under the skies of Texas,
There have they laid her away,
Deep in the soil of Texas,
Shut from the light of day.
Fondly We loved the lost one.
Love had no power to save
Never again shall we see her,
Never this side the grave.
Faithful and true was her spirit,
Loyal to all she held dear;
Never, the right uplolding,
Knew she II thought Of fear
One OF earth'snoblcst creatures,
FaircSt in mind and heart
Why could grim Death not spare her,
Gun 10 some Joy lmpart
Unto the lives, whose being
Held her in close embrace,
And, from whose memories, never
Time shall her image cnace?
Under the skies OF Texas
Sleepeth her much loved dust
Out Of the aoil OF Texas
Shall she rise with the just.
one WHO LOVED Her.

A Poker Game Taken to Court.
lsan FfaNeiscO CAronicle.


George A, Johnson, a gambler was tried in
the police court yesterday ON q charge of
grand larceny preferred by J. A. Foster, who
claims to be the loser of about 500 by trick.
His testimony was that Johnson and another
person were playing poker in "coast
saloon" end that he had an opportunity to sec
both hands. johnson held four sevens while
his opponent had an ace full on kings. The
betting continued until JOhnson's money was
exhausted, while the other man still had over
5000 in front of him. Foster then lent
johnson 500 with which to back his hand,
and the bet was promptly called. On show
ing the cards one of Johnsons sevens was
found to have mystcriously added another
spot to itself and TO have become an eight.
AS three sevens were unequal to q full hand
of aces and kings the lucky holder took tho
money and left johnson and Foster TO de-
nounco each other as swndlers. johnson, on
the stand, claimed that he was the victim,
and that Foster only lent him tho money TO
induce him to bet his own, Fosters idea is
that the players We're confederates, and that
the seven-spot was abstracted from the hand
in order to allow the other man to win the
money, and Johnson, being an apparent bank
rupt could not repay him. His honor, how
ever, dismissed the case, the evidence being
too slight for any hopes of a conviction.
