The Tomb OF a modern Croesus.

New York Letter: Senator Stanford
OF California is having constructed for
himself what will be the most costly
modern tomb in existence. 1t is to be
erected in California, but is being pre-
pared at the east. The entire cost of this
place OF sest for o couple OF handfuls of
dust will be $250.000. The material will
be OF Vermont granite and marble, and
the heavier parts of the tomb sre being
cut at the quarries and shipped from
there directly to the west. The heaviest
stone in the structure is cut from solid
block of granite weighing forty-three
tons, and has already been shipped on q
car specially constructed for the purpose.
Two other stones, weighing over twenty
tons each and cut and polished. have
followed it. a New York nan has the
contract Cor the work, but the senator
has forbidden him to furnish details in
advance of the erection OF the edIfice,
but he has given me the price and these
particulars, adding that every copcei-
vable ornamentation in the way OF
sepulchral art is to be lavished upon it.
The millionaire of the gold coast may
not sleep more soundly with these SUR
roupdings than il he were buried in the
rustic churchysrd OF his native village,
but, under forty tons of granite and with
all modern burglar proof surroundings,
he ought to sleep serenely, in spite of
body snatchers or spirit mediums.

Boston Women WHO 9iss Poker.
Boston Latter: Oae ef the nen who
took part in the conversation was a
physician who deposed that he had
among his patients young woman of
good middle-class family--a girl Who is
pretty, well educated and fond of social
life, She receives from her father O
very tolerabie allo#anc which is paid
to her quarterly. With this she sets to
work to play poker, and she plays as
long as she has money to stake. Some
times she wins, and then ell goes we'll:
sometimes she loses, and then she fret
loses her sleep, and then becomes
hysterical, her disorder increasing with
the amount OF her losses, 50 that about
once In every three months the medical
adviser is called in to soothe her nerves
and bring her back to reasonable con-
dltion. She frankly confides all her ex-
periences to the physician and always
promises instant amendment, her vows
being received with as much credit as
they deserve, il being perfectly evident
that she will break them as soon as op-
portunlay offers. This statement led to
others, and the impression left is that
there is comparatively large class OF
gambling women among the well-to- do
mercantile families of the town, that the
girls are quite as confirmed gamblers %
their brothers could be and far more
reckless,
