ssGreat DIsaster.,,

There was excitement along the shore Thursday night, particularly in the vicinity of Stamford, caused by what appeared to be great steamer on fire off that borough in the middle of the Sound Those who saw the object declared it must be a steamer, one of the Bridgeport boats probably. They could see her walking beam, smoke stack and frame, and evidently there was to be a repetition of the Lexington disaster of forty four years ago. The Advocate people heard of it, and with their usual enterprise stopped their press and inserted at the head of their local column the following:

Mr.. Editor:-The Women7s Chris

services of Major E. Il. Scott to lecture
for them inrthe Baptist Church on Sun
day evening, February 3D.. There
were over five hundred persons present
and as quite a number had to 60 away

A Soldiers Bright Idea.

One day 500 after Pope's defest at
second Bull Run and Chantilly, u pri-
vate soldier belonging to an Ohio regi-
ment sought an interview with his Cap
tain, a announced that he had a plan
for a military campaign, which must
certainly result in crushing out the re-
bellion. The officer very naturally in
quired for particulars, but the soldier
refused to reveal them. and asked for a
chance to lay his plans before Pope
himself. After some delay he was given
a pass to headquarters. He did not get
to see Pope, but after the chief OF staff
had coaxed and promised and threatened
for a quarter of an hour the Buckeye
stood up and replied:
.'Well, sir, my plan is for John Pope
and Bob Lee to swap commands. and If
we don't lick the South inside of sixty
DAYS YOU NAV shoot me for 4 patent hay
fork swindler!!'
When he returned to camp he was
naturally asked what success he met
with. and he ruefully replied:
"Wall, they had a plan of their own"
What was it?'
'Why, they took me out and booted
me for Il mile and a half. Detroit

The Gambling Clubs Of Paris.

Clubs are quite q mOGern institution
in Paris. The Oldest Is the Cercle de
rUnion. founded in 1923; then comes
the jockey. founded in 1888, and the
Cercle Agricole, founded about the
same time. The Union is the most arls-
tocratic and exclusive OF all the Paris
clubs, aud the only club where a game
of cards is a rarity. Out of the $50
members of this club 299 have titles.
VARYING from ROYAL Highness down to
Baron. The dinner is exquisite n
costs only seven francs without wine,
which. together with the wages OF the
cook. implies for the club a loss of some
S3. 600 a wear. The entrance fee at the
| Union is 800 and the annual subscrip-
ton SO. At the Jockey Club the num-
| Der of members is about 79O. of whom
| about $50 are men of title; the entrance
fee is $40: annual subscription, $50;
dinner. seven francs without wine; rent
of rooms, $40. 136: lighting. $3.50; SER
| vice. $4,000. Cercle Agricole, en-
trance. 500: subscription, $50. Cercle
de Ia Rue Royale, entrance, $50; sub
| scription, $40: rent. $4,000. Cercle ne
rUnion Aristique. entrance, $50; SUBJ
scription. $50: rent, $4,000. These
figures may be taken as typical. The
entrance fees and subscriptions OF the
| Paris clubs are moderate. The dinner
varies from seven to four francs. The
expenses are very heavy; the rent often
enormous Uhe Cercle du Champs
Elysees pays more than $4,000 a year
remit. How. then. do the majority OF
the clubs exist? Mainly by the profits
of gambling the cagnotte. 1 do not
say that this is the case with every club
in Paris. but out of the %siNty-four clubs
now existing you could not name more
than half 4 dozen where the cagnotte is
not the nerve and sinew of the whole
institution. They are simply gambling
houses. where You are induced by :
certain amount of material comfort and
an excellent dinner to try all the Other
facilities for running yourself that the
place offers.-Paris Cor. Philadelphia
Times.
