Gambling in High Life.

Gambling IS becoming one of the great
features of Washington social life.
There are so many wealthy citizens of
leisure settling in Washington as a
winter residence that it is not very sur
prising that gambling should become a
leading amusement with people who
have plenty of money and little to do.
There is but little interest in Congress
sional proceedings. the main attraction
in town is conferred in the social features
of the .ason. The other night SEN
sational statement was telegraphed out
saying that n Justice of the Supreme
Court had been seen in a faro bank in
this city an,l that he had spent the night
there fighting the tiger. This story was
upo its face an ISlrdity. There are
several me nbers of the Supreme Court
who do not object to a game of cards
when pretty free stakes are used. but
there is not one who would dare to VEN
ture in public gambling house Be-
sides there would be no need. At the
hotels, the clubs AMI in many private
circles there are opportunities for quiet
gambling for any official without run
ming the needless risk of any public
place and consequent scandal At a
fashionable dinner party given at the
house of Lieutenent Emery, OF the navy,
last week, roulette was introduced in
he evening The evening was devoted
to this game in imitation of the
Fren;h fashion. The betting was
limited to two dollars, but even
this gives an opportunity for much
money to change hands. In no place in
The country are heavier poker games
payed than are played at Washington
during the past few years. At ex- Win
ister Schenck's, n game is regularly
p ayed two or three times a week. where

Sc atorial pay sent to IFS house every
Month in silver dollars. They are used
as poker chips. This fashion has been
ad0pte by few other poker-loving
Senators who have incomes in lependent
of their o licial pay. The California and
Neva la Senators used to employ gold
pi 'ces ranging from five to fifty dollars

no officials ever go, except an occasional
small bureau official. or Western or
Southwestern Congressman. The rank

and DO what they please, without being
deemed OF sufficient Importance to make
talk. At the Metropolitan Club playing
for monHy is one of the recognized fea-
lures. Playing on credit is only tolerated
where there is a prompt settlement ev-
cry week. Members who omit to pay
up are posted upon the bulletins of the
Club. This is a marked change from
the early days of wide credit in playing,
1t is related that member was observed
one morning to look very much depressed

To the Business Men Of Wellington.

We, the undersigned Company have tax
en- pains 10 thoroughly canvass your people
for the purpose of getting an expression of
the feeling towards the erection of gas
works in your town, and We are happy To
be able to inform you that it is quite favor
able to the project, as much SO as could
be expected in the short time elapsed since
the subject was first mentioned.
While your City Council are willing to
do all they can to aid the cause and build
up another improvement in your midst,
there is not, lowing to the matter of gas
not being thought of AT the time of your
annual levy) sufficient funds in their Gus
tody to warrant them in lighting your
streets by our system of gas, and they do
not like to assume the entire responsibility
without some backing from those who
have to aid in the expense, and we ask
the project, after they are satisfied we are
asking a reasonable price for the light.
We propose to set good substantial iron
posts with improved lamps( (or we will uti-
lize the latter now up, paying the town for
them, and thereby saving them that much
expense) at whatever places the council
may desire, and will light and extinguish
them, for which we ask the sum of $150
per post per month for fifty lamps, or 81 %
each for 100. The light we guarantee to
be equal TO any now in use for all purpo-
ses, and superior to coal gas, and the price
asked is below the average taken from II
list of 900 gas companies, which is trifie
above $1.75 per post, some of them run
ming 20 $3.50, though this last is excep-
tional. If we can secure contract for so
or go lamps from the town, we will be JUS
tilted in commencing work soon as frost
will permit. In estimating the cost of
| lighting streets, it is well 10 take into con.
sideration the security 10 individuals that
good light gives over poor one. Thieves
and slugs do not like the light, and il is
when they can meet you in some dark cor
ner that they get their work in. You may
have so far escaped and are not now trou-
bled with such rogues, but you cannot tell
when your time is to come until, TO speak
fgurativelyyit is too late to lock the-barn.'
