Gamblers with Big Rolls.

st. Louis Post Dispatch: When J. was
in New York, in 1880, l used to see Mike
Murray every night. He's Cudger'a
partner in the pooling, you know. Well,
if he's a sample, the stories of DAILY and
other heavy gamblers carrying big money
are not wrong. l never saw Murray with
less than SIS, 900 on him. usually in 800,
$500 and 81, 0G0 bills. In addition to his
pool room business he has one Of the
largest faro banks in New York. These
places use cash. 1t is never intended that
the bank roll at Murray's big place
shall be less than $50, coo. Now if there
is a heavy winning against the bank
Murray likes TO be able when he drops
in 10 make up the loss. If there is another
place hard run it is often good business
to buy an interest with spot cash, and
then it is a pleasant thing TO most of those
men to be able to pull o big roll on oc-
%casion, anyhow. Murray is out almost
altogether at night. tie is very seldom
seen on the street by day, yet 1 never
heard of any attempt to rob him. l saw
a good deal of other noted New York
gamblers and l think all were like Muir
ray in carrying money. All had splendid
diamonds, too. 1t is II notable fact that
diamonds are affected By sporting men he
cause of their certain cash value. A fine
diamond will be taken almost any time
by sporting men in place of money. Most
sports think they are judges Of the

Wonders OF tho Dead Sea.

Missionary Herald: One of the most
interesting lakes or inland seas in the
world is the Dead Sea. which has no out,
let. 1t is not mere fancy that has closed
the Dead Sea in gloom. The desolate
shores, with scarcely a green thing in
sight, aud scattered over with black
stones and ragged driftwood, forms n
fitting frame for the dark, sluggish
waters, covered with n perpetual mist,
and breaking in slow, heavy sepulchral-
toned ave- upon the beach. 1t seems as
if the smoke of the wicked cities was vet
ascending up to heaven, and ms if the
noah of the. fearful sorrow would never
leave that God amitten valley.
1t is a strange thing to see those waves,
not dancing a.ong and sparkling in the
sun as .tLel waves do, but moving with
measured melancholy, and sending 10 the
ear, as they break languidly upon the
rock, only doleful sounds. This is, no
doubt, owing to the great h%eaviness of
the water, a fact well known, and which
we amply verify in the usual way, for, on
attempting to swim, we went floating
about like empty casks. This experiment
was more satisfactory in its progress than
in Its results, which were n very unctuous
skin and a luost pesliferous singing of
every nerve, as if we had been beaten
with %ncttlcs. Nor was the water we took
in our mouths a whit less vile than the
most nauseous drugs of the apothccary.
That fish cannot live in this strong
solution of bitumen and salt is too
obvious to need proof, but TO sny that
birds cannot fly over it ard live is one OF
the eXaggera,ions OF travellers, who per
haps were not, like ourselves, SO forlu,
nate as to see a flock Of ducks reposine
on the water in apparently good health
and yet this was all the life we did scc
The whole valley was one soothing
cauldron, under more thnn a tropical sun.
God forsaken and man forsaken, no greer
thing grows within it, and it remains tc
this day us striking a monument of Gods
fearful judgments as when the fire from
heaven dcvoured the once mighty cities
of the plain.

A Word on Realism.

Atlantic Monthly: The literary artist
may not contradict the facts of observa
ton, but surely he should transcend them
if he is TO give us tue truth of human M.
ture and life; for truth is universal, and
the actual fact of observation ia always .
particular, a part which exists only as re-
lated to other particulars or portions of
the whole. A keen eye and good memory
alone do not arrive at truth. The i'm
aginat'on lifts to q plane whence facts are
seen to group and arrange themselves in
rational relations, and on the discoveries
mind there flashes the light of a great in.
duction, such as that in which Newton
saw the law or truth of gravitation. How
shall We name the greatest artists the
world has known? Was Shakespeare a
realist or an idealist? Was he not
both? Does not the question seem
q futile one with regard to any of
the highest masters in art? The
theory q writer holds of his art may have
a certain effect upon his production, to
make or mar it, but / am disposed to
think that his theory is rather the out
come of his faculty and that he works
more independently of theory than he
himself is aware, and according to his ma
tive gift-in short, not as he will, but as
he must. work. The homcly proverb
about the proof of the pudding comes to
my mind very often. If tho productions
of some of our most convinced realists.
those who proclaim and maintain their
faith most loudly, are the result of their
theory, then SO much the worse for the
theory, for the novels of these gentlemen
arc the most ;nsipid pudding offered us.
George Sand avowed herself as an ideal
list, and SO does Mr.. Stevenson; George
Eliot never gave out any theory for her
art, and neither docs Thomas Hardy. Let
us have such work as theirs, different in
style, but alike unmistakabl in quality
and worth, and it may be labeled with
any adiecives the critics choose to give.

and it really does her no discredit. Away
back In '73 or thereabouts, two young
writers, both of whom have since became
well known factors in metropolitan life,
lived in Sixth avenue in the building oc-
cupied by the Eagle theater. Clever,
impecunious, needless of the morrow,
they lived as such young men have lived
from the rose coiored days of Henri
Murger down to the present year of pro-
sale grace, 1898. Sometimes they dined
luxurioualy, and sometimes they hustled
for q dinner in an Amerizanized Vie de
Bohemc fashion. But unlike their Gallo
prototypes and forcrunners, they were
nearly always well dressed.
Their wash bill was one of the heaviest
items of expense and credit. Their laun-
dress was 9 certain Mrs. Martin. and
every Saturday night found that industri-
ous NQman awaiting their arrival on the

SometimeSH Martin got her money

sometimes che entrusted them to her
daughter Sally, q slip of a girl of 10 or 16.
One Saturday night, as the two b.

The Chrysanthcmnm Craze.

Hartford Times: The growth of the
publicappreciation ofthe chrysanthemum
is about as remarkable as the surprising
development of these flowers. Families
everywhere are learning That it is desir-
able to possess at least two or three OF
these peculiar plants. AS TO the develop
ment of the plant itself, into new shapes
and hues, it seems wsnderful, and slg-
gests endless possibilities. Many of lis
can remember the neglected. old artemisia
of the country garden fifty years ago.
Who ever supposed, then, that the little
regarded cousin of the ommon worm
wood, the sun flower and the marigcld,
with its small and not very attractive
flowers, would ever be so variously and
gorgeously developed? Even a dozen
years ago a ch1ysanthemum flower that
measured four TO five inches in diameter
was 8 wonder. Now we see these flowers
eight and nine inches in diameter, and of
wonderfully beautiful forms and colors;
and many Of the standard plants reach q
height of six feet.
A conservatory full of blossoming
chrysanthemums-they are perhaps finer
now i'll the conservatory than in the gar
den-makes a blaze and glow of color
very beautiful to behold. and all the more
attractive frcm its contrast with the cold
and colorless world without. When the
morning or midday sun lights up that
showiest and perhaps most attractive OF
the open, flowing Japanese varieties, the
imperial Golden Dragon" with its
masses of graceful, richly curling, gor.
geous golden bloom, it draws thither the
eye in spite of the appeals of all the pink,
white, red and other varieties; nor is tho
great. white superb Robert Bottomly''
much less attractive. But ii is the whole,
in mass, that makes the sight a charming
one. And the long time, too. during
which chrysanthemums keep in bloom is
another valuable characteristic of this
late flower.
A native of Japan writes from thai
country to the American Garden as fol.
lows: "Allow me tc say that chrysanthe.
nun S are not mercy autumn flowers.
We have now neutrality-suspicious. of sum
mer blooming kinds in sufficient quaint,
ties. What we call umbellifcrous cbrys-
anthcmums may not be known by your
f1orists yet. These varieties are grown
in the southern provinces of KinsLiu,
and though the flowers are email, they
spread their stakes closely and regularly,
so as to form the shape Of a Japanese
umbrella, the bush being a yard in diam.
cter from a single stalk"

A Test OF Her Gen,us

New York Sun: Two eminent drama
tic authorities have very different con
ceptions of the true theory of acting.
Henry Irving holds that an actor should
SO identity himself with his part that
when lie plays Shylock, for instance, he
is the very Jew of Venice himself. On
the other hand, Constant Coquelin main.
tains that !. is a better and stronger
grasp Of a part which preserves the
identity of the actor part from the char.
acter he represents. In other words,
that it is more artistic to seem TO be than
to be.
We trust that Miss Ada Rehan is a
disciple of Coquelin. She has played
many parts with a charming comprehen.
sion OF their requirements, and of late
has made conspicuous successes in the
characters of Katharine and Xantippe.
As the wife of the unfortunate Socrates
she shows the same splendid understand,
ing of the part which she displayed as
the termagant of Padua.
Now, nothing is more insiduous than
the character assumed for a purpose and
rs a temporary expedient. DR.. Jekyli
discoveId this truth much to his sad dis
may. The E. A. Sothern found his part
of Dundreary SO facilitating that he was
obliged 10 read metaphysics 10 give the
needed tone to his enfeeblcd mind. Miss
Rehan should not disregard the teaching
of experience. As Katherine, she was a
magnificent wildcat; as X.antippe she is
holy terror. She burst not risk spelling
her dis position by too strict adherence to
such alarming lines.
She should keep Coquelin's theory con-
sbefQre her mind; and while por.
traying such formidable women as have
lately spoken with her lips, she should
read the Bible, Tennyson, and Washing
ton Irving for the health of soul and OF
her mind.

silk Threads in Bank Notes.

RehobetL's Sunday Herald: The paper
on which bank notes are printed is called
distinctive paper" being used cxclu-
sively by the government for the print
ing of bonds and current notes. The
mills where it is manufactured are at
Glen Falls, Chester courty, Pa. An
agent of the treasury department receives
the paper direct from the hands Of the
manufacturer and every %precaution is
observed in order to prevent any loss.
Short scraps of red silk are mixed with
the liquid pulp in an engine. The fla.
ishcd material is conducted TO a wire
cloth without passing through any
screens which might retain the silken
threads. An arrangement above the
wire cloth s~catters a shower of fine
scraps of blue silk thread, which falls
upon the paper while it is being formed.
The side on which tho blue silk is de-
posted is used for the back of notes, and
the threads are SO deeply imbedded as to
remain permanently fixed. Each sheet is
registered as 500 as it is made.

KAILW
the Oldest railroad
Editor in the United States.

Editor in the United States.
Mr., Leopold Canman. the railroad
editor Of the Chicago Tribune, who is
known far and wide by the world on
wheels as Bismarck" is the Oldest rail
road editor in the United States. He
opcnd the department on the Tribune in
1870 and has continued ever since on
the stall OF thai paper. When he started
in to make this a feature, the only roads
entering the city were the Burlington,
Illinois Central, Michigan Central, North.
western, Fort Wayne, Alton, and Lake
Shore, and the only depot was that of the
Illinois Central, the others being mere
sheds. Now twenty-seven roads enter the
city, 10 accommodate which six fine
large dcpots have been constructed. At
that time pools were unknown. The
roads agreed upon rates, and were en-
abled TO maintain them, rs the fierce
competition of the present did not exist.
The first pool ever formed was between
the Rock Island, Northwestern, and Mil.
waEkee and st. Paul, to regulate through
business between Chicago and Council
Bluffs. Its success wa due to the fact
that all three roads ran parallel, and on
Sunday each one took its turn to run a
Sunday train. The next pool of fanny cou-
sequence was between the south.
west line 10 cover business be-
tween Chicago and the following
points on the Missouri river, namely,
Kansas City, Lcavenworth, Atchison and
st. Joseph. After that pools sprang up
like mushrooms, all of which were event.
ually lcgislated out of existence by the
interstate con merce law. But competi-
ton becoming so great they were com
PEELED to maints in rates. To do this they
recognized, simply to control traffic,
pledging themselves 10 MAINTAIN rates un
der penalties for violating the contract,
but IN no way pooling and dividing earn.
ings. a singular feature about the roads
in those early days was that no such
office as that of general manager ex-
listed, the chief executive being the
general superintendent. Now nearly
every road Of importance has a gen
cral manager and a general superintcnd-
cnt, the latter continuing his attention to
the operation and construction of the
road. The office of traffic manager was
also unknown, while the general freight
and general passenger agents had SUI.
preme charge of their respective depart.

Bismarck" who is also one of the
founders of the Chicago Press club, has
seen, in the course of the past twenty
five years, the railroad power wax into
