lost or stolen, he would write to the
advertiser stating that he had a pawn
ticket calling for the missing article
He wrote to a Mr.. Waters, of Engle-
wood, n. j., who had advertised for
some silverware that had been stolen
from him, that while he, O'Neil, was
confined at the hospital suffering from
a gunshot wound in the leg, he over
heard two of his fellow patients talk
ing about the silverware which they
had stolen. He added that he became
acquainted with the thieves, vino gave
him the pawn ticket for the goods
which they had pawned, and he eotfered
to sell Mr.. Waters the ticket for $50.
The offer was eagerly accepted by Mr..
Waters, who paid the money and got
the ticket, but when he went to 634
Eighth Avenue he did not find any
pawnbrOktr there, nor could he find
any pawnbroker by the name of
Leopold Meyer anywhere. Among
Others who We're Victimized by O'Neil
were a Mr.. Goldberger, of 13 Water
Street, who paid him $40 for a pawn
ticket for a diamond stud which he
had lost at Long Branch; S. E. Brown,
OF ll5 Broadway, who was feeced OF
$40 for ticket for his watch; Henry
ID. Blller, of 35 New Street, who paid
$40, and a Mr.. King, OF Stamford,
Conn, OF whom he also got SO. The
detectives said that O'Neil had served
a term IN state prison. The prisoner
was held to answer.

Conservative Gambling

Interview with Ola Gambler
"What the bank is afraid Of are con
servative, persistent players, but there
are not many OF them. There is q
class OF men at the European gambling
places and a very small class, who
have reduced the thing to a fine point.
These men risk every evening a single
bet, always the same amount. If the
bet wins they continue to play, but
only so long as their profits will per-
nit. If, however, the first venture
fails they quit the table until the fol-
lowing evening. In this way their loss
is limited to the original bet, while if
fortune favors they may win a large
amount. This policy is pursued daily,
and a single nights winnings will often
furnish capital for period of bad luck
These men do not enjoy gambling, but
it supports them, and have no doubt
that they accumulate valuable statis-
tics in the ratio and proportion OF
games Of chance. They are detested
by the officials of the place, but their
right to play as they please cannot
be questioned.
"But if this be a fact" said the re-
porter, why is the practice not more
UNIVERSAL"
Because" was the emphatic re-
sponse, mot one man in a thousand
possesses the requisite characteristics
to so control himself under the spuro
such excitement as the gambling table
can offer"
"Do professional gamblers, as a rule,
always have money!"
"The average professional gambler"
was the reply, lis dead broke nine
months out OF the 12"

Goldpn-Rod

From the Providence Journal
Peeping from behind some tumble
down walls, or thrusting its bright yel-
low head above the rank growth OF
weeds in a neglected stretch OF level
ground, the modest golden-rod gives
color and life to a prospect otherwise
uninteresting and commonplace. In
little tufts OF green, like vases in a bar
ren stretch OF sand, its golden flowers
wave in the summer breeze. BY lone
ly country waysides, from behind
isolated rocks, or beneath tottering
rail fences, it showsitsg green stems and
bright-hued blooms, while in waving
fields Of grass, its flowers, like stars in
an emerald armament, twinkle and
ghsten in the midsummer sun. In the
constant mutations OF fashion one
flower after another finds favor with
the fair ones to adorn and set off their
charms OF person, only to be discarded
for some other as a fancy, ever chang
ing and never settled, compels. Time

Charles that on visit to a fellow

that he considered Stuart the ADLER OF

LOOKING at it from the feminine
standpoint a writer for the Boston
Transcript claims that the Czarina's
wearing the Empress Elizabeth's fa-
Vorite cOlOrs at their recent meeting IS
a greater compliment than the adOp-
tion of a hosts uniform usual among
male guests. Almost any military
uniform looks well upon almost any
man; but to adopt another woman's
colOrs means a total placement of
beauty with nine women out OF ten.
Happily the Czarina, like her sister, the
Princess Of Wales, is one OF those wOm-
en- who "can wear anything"
THE Toronto Mail makes startling
calculation: at is fearful to think
what an enormous expense it would
be for Patti to bring up a child. She
would have to sing it to sleep every
night for about three years, and at the
regular rates this would amount to
s., 100000. Then, if she would have
to sing one or two extra verses to it
each night, the amount would rise to
81, 1000, providing the child was in
good health. Allowing the usual third
for sickness, she would have to sing to
it all night for 365 days, say five hours
at a time. -Four thousand dollars for
few minutes singing is her usual
price. One night of sickness would,
therefore, cost S240,OOO."
