1t viii readily he seen that the solution Of
this apparent mystery is contained in the
fact that the players winnings are bound to
be in each individual bet larger than his
losses, for upon each wager he adds each loss
70 its predecessor.
The natural inquiry would suggest itself
why, if ali this is true. any one cannot walk
into a giided bank Of sin and clean out its
Golfers. AS a matter of fact he could If the
gambling house proprietors would permit

fallacy Of any one trying TO conquer the
great American tiger. a very well known
gentleman t. whom Leonard jerome ex-
planned the above system. but who himself
never CANDLES, paid friendly visit 70 John
Daly's well known temple Of fortune al Long
Branch. he knew the proprietor well, and
as a matter of curiosity explained TO him the
marvellous method Of the old Monte Carlo
croupier. Daily experimentally twirled the
marble and tho wheel and put the system to
rigid test With a sardonic smile be ad-
uitted its absolute accuracy.
Said his friend: a secret such as this is
bound to leak out and ~ bank can withstand
IT, What viii you do if a man comes in here
and plays this method against your gamer
"Oh,n said John DAILY, with a shrug Of his
shoulders, this sort OF thing won't worry US.
In the first place you must bear in mind that
man who thinks he has sure thing. such as
this appears to be, will play more than five
dollars at time He is apt to put down not
less than twenty-five dollars in the wager,
and you can readily see that in the doublings
up Of THIS sum be would frequently have to

time Even if he bet ten dollars at a time
and had many successive losses, which is not
unusual. he would be obliged in order TO win
by this system to make some one wager 60
beyond the century mark. Now We have "A
reserve rule, as have ali other houses of this
kind, for our own protection, and that per-
mits Us at any time TO make one hundred dol
lars the limit Of ali betting The enforce
ment Of that regulation would completely up
set any system OK this kind. This scheme is
new and wonderfully ingenious, but, as you
Sc, we gamblers know how to protect our
selves against sure thing
But, sad the visitor, this protection you
refer TO would not apply to the man who in
duiges only in Eve dollar bets. To him the
system certainly affords certainty Of win
ming successive sums OK twenty-five dollars

UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE.
Boulanger says This II His Object

PARIS. Jan. 23.--Gen- BouIaager, IN
letter. thanks the electors of the de-
partment of the Seine. He says uni
yersal suffrage is henceforward de-
vott national watchword. The
chamber, which has fought against il
with unprecedented fury, nov has no.
thing before it but dissolution, from
which il will not escape. The repub-
lie is now free to all Frenchmen of
good will. May they enter in as the
others leave.
The moderates doubt Premier Flo
quet's ability TO pub through the
crisis. The monarchist papers in
ately announcing his powers.
II is stated that Floquet, prime
minister. does not intend TO introduce
in the chamber of deputies an anti
Boulangist bill, nor does he intend
to propose dissolution of the chamber.
He viii introduce bill TO re-establish
the scrafin d'arsoadissemeat system
of voting. The Boulangist press has
decided to remain passive and profit
by any mistakes that may be made
by the government. The downfall
of the Fioquet government is expected
when il demands urgency for the
scs1sfia ACKNOWLEDGEMENT bill, as the
Boulangists and probably raany OPP
portunists and radicals will refuse to
agree to il. 1t is stated that Goblet
and De Freycinet both desire the posi-
ton of prime minister. The Boulang-
lists declare that should the govern
ment blunder Boulanger will be presi-
dent within a month.
BERLIN, Jan. 29.-The election OF
General Boulanger continues TO be the
theme OF earnest discussion The fer
lima in official circles over the election
is less pessimistic than that OF the
press.
