A PETITION FOR MRS. MAVERICK.
Home Secretary Matthews Asked to
Review the Evidence.

A New York Herald London special says yes
terday a petition was sent to Home Secretary
Matthews in the interest Of a Communication OF
the sent snce Of Mrs. Maybrick. The petition
is also addressed to all the members Of parlia-
ment, the editors Of the newspapers and peri
odicals Of Great Britain and Ito all men whose
public influence, published letters or public
statements have had influence, great or small,
in one way or the other upon the fate Of Mrs.
Maybrick" 1t then proceeds:
Gentlemen, 1t is the purpose Of this article
to ask you certain questions which you ought
to answer and which you must answer to YOUR
selves as upright men should they fall under

evidence given at the trial of Mrs. MAVERICK.
If you have not a sufficient knowledge Of the
evidence in the case to answer these questions
it will be well for you to hereby learn that fact
before you take any further action of any kind
in the matter"
The questions propounded, fifty-three in
number, go over all the important and curious
questions raised during the trial, especially the
points of evidence calculated to throw doubt
upon the question Of Mrs Maybrick's guilt.
The questions also refer pointedly to the evil
dence tending to show that MIR. Maybrick was

The Old Actor Said to Have Dropped
Big Money at Faro.

A New York special to the Philadelphia Press
says: 1t is Denman Thompson who is the actor
reported to have lost over 100000 at faro this
summer. Last years profits of THE Old Home
stead Melted him. it is said, something Ike
100000. When the season closed, instead of
going down to Swanzey, n. H., to spend the
summer as he at first intended, he remained in
town. He occasionally went to the races and
sometimes he risked a small amount on a
favorite.
The place where rumor has it that he bucked
the tiger so unsuccessfully is at SlS Broadway

gamblers. The building is a four-story brick
affair OF unpretentious appearance. The rooms
are elegantly furnished. The biggest game in
town is said to be played there. At times

$4,000 to $50 900 But an unlueky hour came
to HIM, and he dropped it all and much more

a 'geDtleman's game" has been run for a few

iavorite game. The limit has frequently been
as high as Sl00. Thompson never lost much in
this place; was good poker player, and could
blum the best OF them. A few days ago Thomp-
son left town and went to Swanzey. To those
who questioned him about remaining in town
Thompson said that he was experimenting the

suggestions to the scene painters
A reporter saw Z. A. Mcfarland manager of
the ''Old Homestead" Mr.. Mcfarland is a
son-in-law of Mr.. Thompson. He said that he

ANOTHER GRAND CHARITY.
Mr.. Drexel VIII Provide Training for
1000 Girls and 1000 Boys.
idelphia Inquirer. Today.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer. Today.
A. j. Drexel has changed his plan for the es-
Enlistment Of the Drexel industrial institute.
Tor which grounds we're purchased at Wayne,
and viii found the same within the city limits.
His first thought was that he would stablish
an industrial college exclusively for girls, in
which they should be instructed and trained in
such way as to help them to employments and
occupations in which they could earn liberal
living. Accommodations and facilities for
housing, boarding and training about 200 girls
were to be furnished, and to this end land and
buildings were purchased at Wayne aud srchi-
tectural plans were prepared by competent
architects.
After more mature deliberation it was found
that this scheme had several drawbacks, the
chief OF which was the withdrawal Of girls
from home influence. 1t is now the purpose OF
MIR. Drexel to provide funds to purchase land
and construct buildings and for the mainten-
ance Of q full corps of instructors for an indus
trial institute for young women and young men
In the city. 1t is TO accommodate. for their
instruction and training, as many as thousand
girls In daytime and thousand boys at night.
The facilities and instructions are to be free
OF cost to the students forever. The working
operations of the college will probably be some
what similar TO those of the Cooper institute in
New York. A large lecture hall, capable of
seating 1000 persons, and an extensive reading
ROOM provided with all the useful technical
and other books and appropriate periodicals
and newspapers of the day, will be features of
the rlan.
Mr.. Drexel expects the foundation lands and
buildings and endowment of the institution may
cost a million and half of dollars.

MURDEREK's BURIED TREASURE
About $15, 200 Supposed to be Secreted
Somewhere Near San Antonio.

From the San Antonio Times
Not long ago the columns of the Times con-
tanned an account of the death by his own
hand of Riscke, the German gluemaker who
was arrested in this city last year for cold
blooded murder committed in Germany. The
arrest and extradition of Riscke created a great
sensation at the time. After he had been sur
rendered by the United States authorities to
the agent of the German government he was
taken to New York. but on the way jumped
from the train on which he was travelling and
attempted to drown himself in the river He
was rescued, however and finally returned to
the fatherland to be tried for his crime He was
immured in Jail at Gaeben, in province of
Frankfort, bpt succeeded in ending his own
life by strahgling himself with strips torn
man.
The murder for which Riscke was extradited
was most horrible andrevolting one. and was
committed for the purpose of robbery. His
victim was well-tO-do miller. who lived near
Rlscke. The body of the miller was concealed
nd his money taken by Riscke and his SOD,
who participated In the crime. They fled to
this country with their ill-gotten wealth. and
the son has never yet been captured Riscke
settled in San Antonio with his young daughter
who still resides here and pursues his business
as manufacturer OF glue. He did good
business, and is reported to have made much
money.
Since his death in his prison cell in far-off
Germany speculation has been rife as to what
he did with the money obtained by the murder
OF the miller. He is supposed to have buried
ii somewhere about this city, but the secret of
its hiding place is known to none save his son
and accomplish. The amount stolen from the
miller was equal to about $4,000 in American
money, and was in gold and silver. Many at
tempts have been made the quiet to gain
some clue to where this vast wealth is con-
cealed, but so far they have proven vain 1t is
generally supposed he brought the money with
him TO San Antonio. 1t is still somew where
about here. but the question is, where?
When the particulars of his crime were made
known after his arrest he was repeatedly asked
to tell what he had done with the money. but
to all inquiries in this direction he maintained
a dogged and determined silence, and so far
at least as he Is concerned. his secret went
with him to his grave If his son is appraised
OF the place of concealment. he dare not
divulge or make use OF it, for fear of falling
into the meshes OF the law himself Digging
has been done in several places where the
money was supposed to be buried, but nothing
has been found. Some day the pick or shovel
of the laborer will open the secret hiding place
and bring to light this mine of wealth Mean
time more than one party is quietly prospect
ing IN the hope OF running across the money.

Rough on Actors.

From the New York Herald.
The subject under discussion was the fire.
quency of divorces among actors and actresses.
Everybody had had his say about it. The actor
took his inning last. He plays comedy, and
fun being his business he naturally seeks recrea-
ton in serious thinking
Il take it for granted" no began. THAT
human nature averages about the same in all
pursuits. So far concerns the raw ma
terial OF which they are composed actors and
actresses are neither better nor worse than
other folk.
But they are exposed to more temptations
OF the sort that play the mischief with matri-
monial felicity than are people engaged in the
ordinary avocations of life. That's the long
they please.
''One of the most frequent sources Of the
troubles that lead to appeals to the divorce
court Is the long separations between husbands
and wives necesstated by engagements in diff
ferent companies
1T is a melancholy fact that most managers
don't like to have husbands and wives in the
same company unless they are well acquainted
with their dispositions. Mimic love making
is very apt to beget jealousy on one side or the
other. jealous husband jealous wife
will upset the discipline of a company quicker
than anything except an empty exchequer.
Whenever have to do embracing and kiss
ing and that sort of thing do my best to make
1t appear that l am enjoying it. If were a
married man my wife might easily think that
was displaying more ardor in my wooing than
the necessities of stage business required
Then there would be a row. No one can blame
the managers for Directing to having husbands
and wives in the same company. Their bust
ness is to make money and not to keep people
out of the divorce courts"
The moral Of that is, don't allow love max
ing plays on the STAGE" observed one.
No; it is don't marry" chimed in another
You are both wrong" said the comedy man,
'the moral is-don't be an actor"
