GambIinr in the Army.

Said an old Army correspondent regard
ing the revelations of gambling among
Army officers at Washington at is not to
be wondered at that idle Army officers
should gamble when it is fact that the
vice was common one among officers and
soldiers during the most active campaigns
of the late war. have seen men spend the
evening between two days of battle in
playing cards for stakes. 1t wasn't exactly
gambling under fire, but it was the next
thing to it. There was hardly au officers
mess, regimental or staff, that was not a
poker club, and thousands Of dollars
changed hands after each visit of the pay
master. Freeze-out poker, the winner to
maintain the mess until the next pay day,
was common form of gambling among the
officers. Many Of the private soldiers were
lively gamblers, and hardly a company was
without its poker sharp'-usually cool,
quiet, 'goody -goody' sort of chap from some
country district. Early in the war profes.
sional gamblers haunted every depot oi
supplies, and preyed upon commissaries
quartermasters and paymasters One OIL
two paymasters lost fabulous sums to these
sharks then defaulted, were sent to prison
and the gamblers fled to Canada until the
storm blew over, The vice is as common
and as fashionable in the Army, among Of
fcers and privates, as it ever was the only
difference is that the Army is not quite as
large as it was"

Gets Control of Two Dusky Maidens
in South Washington.

A colored man named Dan Dynes was
severely cut in the face in South Washing
ton little before o'clock last evening by
two colored women, named Kate jenkins

of jealousy. Dynes had called on colored
girl named Henrietta, living on hill near
Seventh and L streets southwest. Kate
Jenkins and Anna johnson, In fit of jeal-
ousy, ran into the house and assaulted the
woman Henrietta. Dynes tried to stop the
fight and in the excitement was knocked
on the head with a stove-plate and cut in
the temple with a razor. The women ran off
then, but after a long chase Officer Burns
succeeded in arresting Kate Jenkins, and
she, together with several witnesses, was
locked mp at the First Precinct Station
The wounded man was taken to DIR,
Bacon's drug store, corner Four-and-a-hali
and + streets. He was bleeding very
badly, and it was found that the temporal
artery had been severed, and it was feared
he would bleed to death. When the am
bulance arrived he was taken to the First
Precinct Station, where he was attended
by Drs. Cook, Hammit and Melville, after
which he was sent to his home near Ninth
