POKER AND POLITICS.
They Mingle Nicely at the National
Capitol.
SENATORIAL
THE
GAME.
The Point of Poker, Knowing When
to Lay Down Your
Hand.

Washington Letter.
The sinful joys Of the American ma
tiOnal game of draw poker prevail to a
very large extent at the capital. Of a
Saturday night the clubs are quite de-
serted-for the rule against poker is
strictly observed in all of them. Their
habitueS have flown to more secluded
| hooks, where rigid miles do not exist, to
INDUCED in the pleasures of analysis of
five cards. On that night, too, through
| out the session of congress there is
what is known as the senatorial game.
1t is lively one, and the limit is de-
cidedly stiff. The place of meeting
is a coy haunt, where the wines are
very choice, the cuisine perfect and
the Havanas unexceptlonable. The
game begins at 9 o'clock, and the play
erS never exceed six. Late corners
! must content themselves as spectators,
or wait for q heavy loser to reliHquish
his seat. As BELTS the potent and
grave seignors. everything progresses
in quiet and dignified manner and no
one in the adjoining room would sus-
pect the presence of occupants who were
betting 500 certificates in the form of
circular bits of blue-dyed ivory; nor
dream that each five minutes made one
! man 81 900 richer or poorer.
But in whatever manner the law
makers may disport themselves in their
hours of ease or respite, the subject Of
''draw" is rarely referred to when they
are in solemn conclaye in official char
! acter. There was. however, slight
exception to the rule the other day,
when a distinguished-look senator
from the South said, IN referring to the
rapid disposal of the Chinese exclusion
bill, that the Republican senate, seeing
the political maneuyer on the part of
the house, wished to "see the Demo
Gratis of the house and go them one
better" He is not member, never
theless, of the coterie which meets o.
Saturday nights.

Women as Detectives.

There is a woman detective in Broad

business for thirteen years. Shekeeps

Der OF male and female detectives in
her employ, of whom the male portion

To Death in Her Bridal Robes.
palE Mall Rudpet


A romantic case of attempted suicide
is reported from BUDAPEST. As the
morning express from Vienna was APP
preaching the station at Palota, girl
in a white bridal dress and wreath of
orange blossoms on her head rushed
out from copse and threw herself in
front of the engine. Before the train
could be stopped the locomotive had
passed over her body. The unfortunate
creature, fearfully mutilated, was con-
veyed to Buda-Pest, where, on reaching
the railway station, her legs had to be
amputated. Although her case is crlti-
cal, hope is entertained of saving her
life. 1t appears that the girl, who is
only eighteen, was a goyerness reSid-
ing close to the spot where the at
tempted suicide occurred. The faith
lessness of the man to whom she was
engaged to be married is said to have
driven her to her desperate resolve.

The eyes are Sunken, the hands and
feet become cold and feel clammy.

Omaha Bee.
A relative of Judge Dundy, in this
city recently received a letter from a
member of bunting party, which was
at the time in the vicinity Of Medicine
Bow Park, Wyoming. The letter, among
other things, conveyed the intelligence
that Judge E. S. Dundy, of the United
States district court, on Aug. 20, mar
rowly escaped with his life in contes
with a savage silver-tip bear. Judge
Dundy had just arrived on his annual
vacation trip, and was travelling by
horseback with his nieceS, Mrs. Elmer

where he expected to join Judge David

court, and other friends, who had pre-
ceded him two weeks. As they W re near
ine the camp, riding leisurely along
path OH the side of mountain, a savage
silver-tip bear. driven by shots from the
other side of the mountain, broke
through the bushes twenty feet distant,
and with a savage roar and desperate
Iunges made straight for one of the Ia
dies who rode nearest to the brute.
With courageous gallantry Judge
Dundy leaped from his horse. and,
jumping to the side of the path, stood
between the bear and the ladies'. he
had his Winchester, which be drew
upon the bear, which by this time was
advancing on his hind legs, his forelegs
outstretched for the death hug-a bears
favorite mode of attack. Judge Dundy
fired. but, although the bullet took
effect, it did not stay the pro-
gress of the bear. On came the furi-
Gus animal, Judge Dundy still shield
ing the ladies. Once the brute laid his
monster paw on the judges shoulder,
tearing his coat and decorating the skin,
but by a skillful movement he escaped
the hug, and drawing bead once more,
brought the bear to the ground. lie
then called to the ladies, and found
Mrs. Frank dangling by one foot,
caught in a rope in the saddle, her
horse making fearful lunges. BY a
miracle the lady was rescued from her
predicament, and the two led to the
bear. 1t was monster brute, weigh
