A column might be filed with the mere
names of noted gamblers, from John Morris
sey to Jack Hamlin; but they are already
noted enough. 1t is Oh horse racing that the
greatest sums have been staked, as that is the

it can truthfully be said that ordinary gam
bling is steadily growing less reputable and
more secretiye, and falling into the hands OF

The Roman Marriage.

Independent of the legal forms there
were tho social observances of marriage
which were the same whatever was the
legal ceremony chosen. At nightfal,
when the star of Venus began to shine,
the bride was fetched from her fathers
house. She was dressed In a white robe,
a symbol of her virgin purity. bound
round her waist with WOODEN sash; her
hair was plated into six tresses after
those of the Vestal Virgins; on her head
she wore flame colored veil and fresh
wreath of the sacred verbena, for the
wife was priestes5 in her family. Under
the protection Of Juno Domiduca (ths
home leader she passed through the
streets accompanied by her friends and
lighted on her way with torches. BY her
side there walked a young boy carrying
an open basket, in which there lay
hank of wool, distaff and spindle, for
spinning was the great duty Of the Ro-
man matron of the republic.
To be good spinner was gem in
her crown of virtues, by the side of
chastity and frugality, and the emblems
of this occupation were held in honor
even at time when the chosen pursuits
of women were very different. Arriv-
ing at the door Of her new home she
found it wreathed with flowers in honor
of the festive occasion. On the door
posts she hung fillets of wool and an
oiuted them with oil az a symbol, it
would seem, of fertility. She was then
lifted over the threshold, a custom in
which we may see survival of the time
when wives were habitually stolen from
neighboring tribes and carried by force
to their husbands house. In the atrium
the bridegroom received her, handed TO
her key as a sign of her rule In the
house, and offered her fire and water 10

were at her disposal
Answering TO the fixed formula in
which be addressed her, asking who she
was, she replied: Where you are Caius
there am l Gaia" a. we might say,
Your people shall be my people, your
house my house, and your life my life.
The pair then sat side By side On two
chairs covered with the fleece Of sheep,
and the priest joined their hands.
The marriage contract fixing the
amount Of the dowry and the mode Of
its administration Was then signed, and a
banquet followed, during which FIVE wax
candies were burned, while from the
walls the waxen masks Of the husbands

flowers, looked down from their open

GOODNESS! WHAT NEXT2
An English Syndicate Forms Corner on
Ballet Girls.

CHICAGO, July 31.-All the ballet girls
in the west will soon be under control of a
wealthy English syndicate which has
headquarters and resident partners in Chi
cago. English capitalists are now looking
at the theatrical business of America as
well as the beer business, with the view of
investing their sovereigns and controlling
players and play houses. The Intelligence
that New York manager had been offer
ed $500, 600 for two-thirds interest in his
house was hardly received from the wires
when novel and extensive trust was dis
covered within the walls of Chicago itself.
w. II. Morton, of the Columbia theater. is
agent of the British company. Associated
with him and interested with Mr.. Morton
in the venture are d. Henderson, of Chi
cago opera house, and Horace McVicker.
1t has become so difficult to secure good
ballet that such scheme was absolutely
necessary to say nothing of the profits as a
business enterprise. MIR. Morton has al
ready secured 5000 girls for his trust.
Some of them will receive regular sal
airy, others half pay, but all will be at Mr..
Morton's beck and call.
These gentlemen were seen and frankly
admitted the existence of such a scheme.
''The idea to form ballet girls trust"
said Mr.. Morton, "first oc urred to me
last month. l enlisted Henderson and Nc
Wicker in my cause, and last week an Eng
fish syndicate purchased three-fourths
interest in our enterprise"
Manager Henderson, of the Chicago
opera house, said: Eyes, we are interest
ed in the ballet girl trust. Mr.. McVicker
and are silent partners, while Mr.. Morton
is the prime mover. We intend to con-
troll all the ballet girls in the west and
hereafter managers will have to hire their
girl Amazonian beauties from u.s."

THE FLOUR OUTPUT.

MINNEAPoLIs, Mimi, July 31-The
Northwestern Miller today says: There
were seventeen mills in operation at the
close of last week and some of the large
ones increased their output materially over
the week before, making aggregate figures
show another gain. The total production
of -four was 124 900 barrels, averaging 90
667 barrels daily, against 1920 barrels
the preceding week and 10000 barrels for
the corresponding time in 1885, Several
changes out of the usual routine are to oc-
cur in the next few days as to the opera
tive list of mills. One of 1900 barrels Ca
pacity is 30 grind out and shut down to-
morrow for an indefinite period and an
other of 900 barrels will stop at the same
time for week. Two of the Pillsbury
mills which have not run for two months
or over are to be started Monday, adding
about 5000 barrels to the output, while one
side of the Big A is likely to be closed
down soon thereafter, cutting off $500 bar
rels.
There were sixteen mills running today,
getting out at the rate of Is, 500 barrels or
over. The water power has been unuS-
uaily good for several days past and some
of the mills have awaited themselves of
the opportunity to run more heavily than
common. Cool weather has aided them a
good deal in this, though the tail end of
the crop is proving pretty difficult TO han
die
The flour market is quiet. There is
quite difference in quotations made by
the various firms, and they average about
10c cheaper than they did a week ago. The
best demand is from the bakers from
abroad, the current make being easily dis
posed of at moderate prices. There is
some inquiry for future delivery, but

at 23s 3D. September and October delivery
have found no takers. Freight rates are
to be advanced tomorrow by most of the
lines 10c per barrel and ocean rates are also
much higher.

kernels that may be expected to yield well.
1t is not unlikely that of winter and spring
there are 500, 100000 bushels of excellent
wheat. The price of it now is not high,
but is usually considered fair. The wheat
in the country elevators as well
as in farmers hands is well cleaned
up with not more than about
$4,000 bushels to come here. Thresh-
ing will begin next week in earnest if the
weather is dry. A few lots have already
been threshed and samples of the new crop
have been sent in here to sell by from
South Dakota and Minnesota, as well as
from northern Iowa and Nebraska. 1t
bears small resemblance to the wheat
grown last year. 1t will be softer and
likely call for a large proportion of pure
Scotch fife to reach the best results in flour
making, but is expected to whiten and to
give better satisfaction.

THE EUROPEAN WAR CLOUD.

LONDON, July 31.-Lord Salisbury speak
ing at the annual ministerial banquet this
evening said his aim in foreign affairs was
peace with honor. The thunder clouds of
war still overcast Europe. The issues in
volved in the war would be SO frightful
that nations shrank from challenging one
another. Events in Egypt did not menace
the permanent prosperity of that country.
The disaster on the frontier would be sup
pressed. England had entered into en-
gagements not to abandon Egypt until the
latter was capable of maintaining her own
government in the face of foes, and those
engagements England would assuredly
fulfill.
Referring to Crete he did not consider
there was any need to fear the present
movement would lead to European dis
turbance. He repudiated the remotest
desire of seeing England in possession Of
Crete. The reports current to that OBJECT
throughout the continent were without
foundation.

A VERDICT AGAINST THE ST. PAUL

A VERDICT AGAINST THE ST. PAUL.
CHICAGO, July 3L-Judge Gresham this
morning filed his opinion in the case OF
Alfred NJ. Hoyt ct al. versus the Chicago,
Milwaukee & St. Paul railway. Judg-
ment for $4,000 was entered against the
defendant. The case has been in litiga-
ton for SONS time, and it
was brought into prominence by the
failure of the attempt to corner the market
on wheat in 1885 and 1887. In substance,
the nature of the case is as follows: Febru-
airy IS, 1880, the defendant leased to Alfred
NJ Hoyt ct al. for term of ten years from
January l, 1881, lots ], 2. of block K, in
Grafton of this lease the plaintiffs agreed
to erect an elevator of the capacity
of 100000 bushels, pay all taxes and
assessments, and besides tender the
storage capacity of another smaller
elevator near by, whose capacity was $780,
900 bushels. to the defendant There was
an ironclad contract drawn MP between the
nualiy bring to Chicago and store with
Hoyt ct al. 5000 900 bushels of wheat. If
the amount sent to the elevator in a year
did not aggregate 5000, 600 bushels the ST.
Paul road was to pay Hoyt ct al. cent per
bushel for the deficiency. The required
5000, 900 bushels seems to have been stored
up to 1886, when the quantity brought by
the company to the elevators was only
2S26. 81 bushels. In 1887 the amount
again fell short, as only 1851, 592 bushels
were stored there. The railroad company
was bringing in wheat by the train
load during this time but the elevators
had capacity for only 100000
bushels, and as the consignees to
whom the wheat stored stored there
shipped. were playing the market" they
did not want to take their wheat out OF
storage. The 1,O00,000 bushels remained
in the elevator bins, and the railroad was
forced to take wheat elsewhere. In spite
of this fact Hoyt ct al. brought suit for the
commission of / cent per bushel on
the yearly deficiency. They say that
the company knew that the ele-
yator's capacity was LOCO, 900 bushels,
and that in order to live up to the terms of
the contract the consignees must keep the
wheat moving. Hoyt ct al. were willing
to receive the wheat as per the terms OF
the contract, but were prevented by the
stagnation in trade, owing to market
Edwin Walker, attorney for the defend
ant, was not present when Judge Gresh-
am by stroke of his pen assessed the road
$4,000, but he will be given an opportuni-
ty when he returns to the city to prepare
the findings. The elevator was built in the
time fixed; the contract was executed; evil

said two years the elevator was constantly
