THE AMERICAN MONTE CARLO
Gambling for High Stakes at
Long Bra nch.

NEW YORK, August 4.-Long Branch
has become the biggest gambling resor
in the world. Clerical looking Pat
Sheedy, late manager of John L. Sulli-
van, who is regarded by the sporting
fraternity as one of the most talented
gamblers in the world, has recently
returned from tour of all the resorts
in Europe where gambling formed a
popular prominent feature, and ne says
none of them come up to the resort on
the jersey coast. He says that there
are larger sums won and lost IN nigh
in Long Branch than there is at Monte
Carlo in a week.
Persons like August Belmont. John
Hoev and CAPTAIN William M. Conner,
who have been ell over Europe, say
that there is nothing on the other side
of the water that will compare in mag
nifcence with the New Long Branch
gambling club that has just been
opened. The rolunda where most Of
the gaming tables are situated, is capa-
BILE of holding 1000 people, aud the
finishing of this room alone cost over
$500 900. Each chair cost over 500. and
the centre chandelier cost over $4,000.
The ceiling vs. divided off into large pan
els. and each panel contains painting
of all the great European racing events
in which American horses were the
winners. There is another club room
fully as large as this one, and which
cost nearly as much money.
A radical change has come over lie
at Long Branch within the last few
years, and most of the people who go
there now go to gamble. and sporting
men can be found there from every
quarter of the Union. Almost every

Three Of the greatest gamblers in
this country, if not the world, are now
at Long Branch. First is the notorious
Billy Deutsch, known On both sides of
the water as the Prince of Baccarat,
who broke the bank at Monte Carlo
and another one in Paris five years ago
and came out winner 10000 francs.
Since then Deutsch has not played much.
and has confined his gambling to Wall
Street. But there are lots of men in
Long Branch who are willing to back
him if he wants to try his luck, and if
he once gets started he will make long
howl among the gamblers. The second
is Dan Rice, the once famous
clown. Rice has not done much
playing sncs he has been at
the Branch, nor has he for many
years, principally because he has had
no money, but he now has wife who
is worth million who is with

CHASING A WATER FAIRY.
The Summe- Girl Plunges intO'the
Surf to Elude Her Admirers.

An afternoon at Rockaway revealed
fresh possibilities of the summer girl.
She was idly pouring sand from one
hand to another, lying in burrow on
the beach under the shelter Of a parasol
overgrown with ribbons. She wore
gown of some soft. thin. silky white
stuff. tied at the waist with yellow
girdle. On either side was young
man in knickerbockers and blazer. A
third young man lay at her feet. The
girl was content, but the young men
were inclined to wish each that the
others were not there. One of them
shipped a bunch of ribbons from the
huttering parasol, and chickering's over
the possession of the trophy assumed
the small animation possible on a lazy
August afternoon. Snatching her rib
bons from the last posse Ssor's hand, the
summer girl pinned them to her Gap
and jumped to her feet. "Catching's

cumbent admirers and ran for the

head to look at her pursuers, and the
bright ribbons nodded them saucy
defiance from her head. On she went
swiftly and powerfully, and after her
plunged the three young men. Two of
them proved on the instant that they
were no match for the girl. A stern
chase was too long chase for them,
and they emerged on the beach, drip

questionably soon benefit by it. If SER
wants were properly trained and chill
dren properly educated, much of the
siuful waste that goes on every day
would be avoided. and poor people
would be much healthier and happier.
There is hardly any class (unless the
very wealthy who do not suffer, more
or less, from extravsgant cooking and
waste. In lodgings, to persons with
fixed incomes, it becomes very serious
matter; milk, butter, eggs, sugar,
cheese, spices and such things vanish
in the most astonishing way, though
landlady and the servants may be most
scrupulously honest. They have simply
got into wasteful way, and until that
way is amended, no amount of culture
or amusement or increased wages will
improve the domestic condition of the
wives of workingmen or the homes of

IMPRACTICAL WOMEN.
Domestic Misrule Which Invaria-
bly, Leads to Disagreeable
Results.

There are few sadder sights in the
world than to see an intelligent, sober
artisan married to an ordinary domes-
tic servant (such unions are very COM
mon) and observe the progress of their
lives, say, for year. They have both
saved a little money, and take cot
tage, which they furnish, mot wisely
but too WELL" and commence life un
der, apparently, the most favorable cir
cumstances.
They have delightful breakfasts and
dinners. Jack never lived so we'll in
his life. even when a single man, and
he thinks what a real treasure he has
found in Jill" She loves him devot-
eddy. thinks she can never do enough
for him, and that nothing is too good
to give him to eat. She had "helped
in the kitchen" in her last place. and
being an observant girl, with prospect
or home OF her own, she watched
COOK, and certainly learned q good
deal. But, unfortunately, she hao
picked up, not only cooks skill, but
her extravaganza, and when quarter
day came round Jack remembered,
with start, that they had both for
gotten it, and also the uninteresting
but undeniable fact that boots and
clothing wear OUT, and there was no
provision at all made for replacing
them. They had been very happy,
and enjoyed themselves much, and Jill
declared that they really had nothing
out OF the way, after ALL" only she
forgot that the stvle of cooking
practiced in rich mans Kitchen is not
suitable in a poor man s cottage. Fried
fish need not of necessity be an expeR-
sive dish, hut, according to modern
methods of cookery, it is, and exceed
ingly indigestible into the bargain,
soaked as it g generally is with lukewarm
fat, and half smoothered in semi
cooked mess called melted butter"
one-half of which is invariably wasted.
Then there is total ignorance with
regard to the use of fire. Three times
as much coal as is really necessary is
burned; sauce-pans, frying-pans and
kettles get Worn out in no time. These
may seem sordld and uninteresting de-
tails, but to the wOrkiugman's wife
they are, or ought to be, matters of
vital Importance, and should be taken
into consideration, for if all the wages
are spent on being comfortable and
having things nice, there is a good
chance OF poverty coming in at the
door even before love has looked to-
ward the windows.
And yet in such case the woman is
scarcely to be blamed; she means well
but she knows no better. She initiates
to the best of her ability what she has
seen presumably better informed
people do, but she is absolutely
ignorant both as to the value of the
food she buys and cooks, and also the
proportion of wages that should be
spent on it. In fact. domestic servants
make about the worst, instead OF the
best wives for working men, for they
have ideas beyond their means. With
better training-with any training
they would understand that what
might be very appropriate dish for a
wealthy idle man would be in no way
suitable for a,poor Woodworking man.
If economy were practiced amongst
the wealthy classes, the poor would IN

THAT LOAD OF WATERMELONS AT

ATTICA, KAN, Sept. 10, 1888.
DEAR SIR: The following appears in
the EAGLE of this date:
Some enthusiastic admirer Of General
Harrison down at Attica expressed the
general sixty-pound watermelon few
d4ys ago and before it reached its desti-
nation it was magnified in size and in
creased in number to a car load, as wit
ness this: The Columbus Ohio Dispatch
of Wednesday says: "A car load OF wa
today. The melons are gift and are dis
tributed.
As the above is misrepresentation
please permit me to characterize 1t.
The citizens Of Attica and vicinity did
as claimed in the Columbus Dispatch,
viz: Ship as fine car load of water
melons as ever left Kansas, to the g. 4.
r. boys at Columbus to whom they were
donated, the Santa Fee company hauling
them as far as Chicago free. The paper
named above in its issue OF the 18th inst.
SAYS further: Mr.. G.. Il. Worries. OF
Attica, Harper county, Kansas, has at
the Grand Central hotel a car load Of
melons. They are extraordinary large,
etc.
The Mr.. Worries referred to IS a resi-
dent Of Attica and commander OF the @.
4. r. post here. The melons were con-
signed to him for distribution 10 his
comrades at Columbus who greatly Ell
joyed them.
! AS no other part Of the state was more
complimentary to the old soldiers than
this, II is not unreasonable that our cIti-
zens should feel that they are entitled to
as much consideration st the hands of
friends of the veterans as from the lat
ter who are sounding our praises for be-

SHOWING THE CLoVEN FOOT.

The interest that has been awakened
throughout the country, especially
among the laboring people, by the dis
cussion of the tariff question is having a
contrary effect to that anticipated by
the champions of free trade. Their idea
and hope was that they could use 1t to
demagogue the laboring people OF the
country, especially the farming COM
munity, into supporting their theory.
But since it has stimulated earnest in
quiry on the part of these people, who
are. if possible, more vitality interested
in the practical solution of the question,
and this inquiry is having The effect of
allying that class of citizens almost
solidlv on the side that represents their
interests-that of protection-the cham
pions aforementioned have discovered
and publicly declare that Sit has been an
error to give labor such an undue proml-
nence in political controversy They
now boldly declare that lit is wrong for
| laboring men, as the constituents of q
certain class, to ask the government for
legislation that will be beneficial to
themselves" According to their notions
it is all right for capitalists, corporations
and monopolists Of every kind and char
acter to keep their paid agents at national
and state capitals to procure such legisla-
ton in their interest as may be desirable,
which legislation cannot but be
detrimental to the interests Of
the debtor class. which rep
resents and includes the labor of the
country as class, but it is nextto crime
for this named portion of the community
| to SO much as ask for any sort Of protec-
| ton or relief.
And this is the position of the leaders
of great party that poses as the special
champions Of the laboring people Of the
country, in face of the plain provisions
of the constitution that guarantees gov
eminent which III all cases shall procure
the most good for the greatest number.
Iaboring men. the same as all others,
must expect to vote as citizens and
receive governmental benefits of
citizenship without regard to
what their means of obtaining a
living may be. 1t will not do for them
to assume that whatever legislation
benefits one class of necessity benefits
all, and upon that idea sit down with
folded hands and leave the matter of
| legislation TO others who will not fail to
influence it to their personal benefit,
relying the while upon the broad princi-
pie of our fundamental law that in
hibits class legislation. The practice
that has obtained the latter years of
exerting extraneous influence upon our
lawmakers, reprehensible as it may be
and is, has nevertheless grown into
regular established and systematic
method, in view of which the common
people cannot afford, as we have said,
! to leave the matter of making and
amending our laws in the hands of those
wko may and often do prove them false.
Such declarations as we have quoted
above are an insult to the intelligence
and manhood of every workingman in
the land and should be resented at the
polls with such emphasis as will put an
end to all such autocratic and centraliz-
inc theories
