STORY OF WHITNEY RUPP.

One Case Where q Gamblers Su-
perstition Was Verified.
Kansas City Star
1t is one of the Superstitions of a
gambler that he must relieve distress.

ing extended thousand times day. he
would be compelled to load it with a
silver of his wealth; but it is a popular
belief that vast losses would attend the
free-hearted giver in case his money I'M
parted in charity were placed against
himself. Gamblers tell many stories In
Illustration of this.
Whitney Rupp, at one time proprietor
OF prosperous faro bank in Wichita,
one afternoon was descending the stairs
which led to the lair of his particular
tiger. when a broken sport named Bill
Chenault sought aims at his hands.
Rupp was in good humOr. His bank
had piled mp the ingots the night be-
fore; he had just eaten comfortable
dinner, and he paused long enough
TO give ChenauIt $50. Che
nault, an inyeterate gamester
himself, ate briefly and spar
lngly and then fastened back to Rupp'S
bank with the balance and began to
play. Had the dealers known the
source of his wealth, they would have
barred him. Chenall won again and
again, and then divided his possessions
among several of his crOnieS looking on.
There was 'F6m Arnold, who now deals
monte i'll Ell Paso; Sam Arnold, who
was subsequently shot to death in Okla
homa City, and several others.
They blithely showed the money abou
Rupp's layout in way to insure the
widest action" Never had such luck
attended so diminutive raid. Rupp
was absent only an hour and thirty
minutes. He came back to his rooms
and as soon as he discovered what was
in progress, with curses and maledic-
tons stopped the play of Chenault and
coterie, not, however, until they had
rolled their bundle of plumber up to the
neat outlines of S2,700. His bad luck.
invoked by the treacherouS turning of
his gifts against himself by the unprin-
cipled Chenault, never dragged or de-
faulted in its stride until, in less than
two months, Whitney Rupp, loser over
$1,000, left Wichita ruined.

A sEALsKIN BONANZA.
How Poacher Got Away With
Fifteen Thousand Skins.

How a POacher Got Away With
Fifteen Thousand Skins.
Japan is putting fin into the sealing
business and will have two fins in next
year. RumorS of Yokohama's attain
ing some position as Sealskln market
have reached here at odd times. says the
San Francisco Examiner, but never with
the excitement creating force of yeSter-
day.
One Of the passengers to arrive by the
steamer China was George A. Smith,
veteran whaler, who has been cruising
in northern waters every year from the
time he was able TO go to sea. He was
not with the whaling fleet this year,
and when he mingled with his old
companions after getting ashore, he told
them tales of his cruise in the 0khotSk
sea that were more marvellous to
sealers and whalers than any yarns
Aladdin ever cOncOcted about his lamp.
SealSkins formed the basis of his nara
tive. and he reported his catch at $4,000
skins. 1t sounded like a fish story, but
Smith bad certain evidences with him
in the shape of certified checks and
authorizations to ship an experienced
crew, that back up the story.
Briefly told Smiths story is that when
he left here last winter for Yokohama
it was to take command of the old bark
Nathan S. Perkins. well-known in these
waters. His employers were Yokohama
capitalists who had proSpected the ST.
berian coast and evolved scheme for
loading their vessel with sealskins.
They wanted man to take command
who was familiar with Russian waters
and knew how to ingratiate himself
with the natives, and Smith was Sc
lected. Seals were plentiful among the
upper Japan coast when he started out,
and in hunting the Perkins did very
well. But the big killing came when
Smith reached Robin island, or Robin
bank, geographically speaking. just in
side the OkhotSk sea, few miles from
Saghalien island and 700 miles from
Petropaulovski. Smith baIted for seals
with rum, it is supposed.
The Perkins was disguised as a
whaler, and ostensibly put in at the
little settlement near the rookeries for
water. The Russian officer in charge of
the place was invited to take drink,
and another drink, until he had quite a
programme of drinks. The islanders
were also lavisilly entertained with the
+ PERKINS rum, and in day or two the
entire population mot very extensive
one), was too happy to care what be-
came of the seals. This was kept up
for several days, and in the meantime
every knife on the Perkins was kept
busy SHINING seals. Hundreds were
taken, and when the Perkins finally
sailed it was with the biggest returns
for few cases of rum that were ever
made.
The same game was played at another
rOokery, and when the old bark finally
dropped anchor at Yokohama she had
$1,000 skins in her hold, according to
Smiths count, and the skins averaged
between 81 and $12 apiece.

A Pirate Bird.
St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

st. Louis GlObe-Dem0crat
Ex-Gov. William G. Sterett, of Dallas,
Tex, says: While on a fishing and
hunting expedition on the Atlantic
coast in North Carolina my attention
was attracted by the shrill and frantic
cries of sea-gull. As l looked up |
saw bird resembling a hawk strike
the gull under its claws, when down
came fish and the pirate bird after it.
The fish had not gone ten feet before
the pirate bird had it in his stomach.
rapidity, and descending equally as
quick struck the screaming gull on the
back with such force that the contents
of its stomach were forced out of its
mouth. and the pirate caught it in the
air as it fell At this point took aim
at the pirate with my shotgun and
brought him down.

A FOOLS CONFESSION

1 sent my friend to the maiden fair
To plead my cause for me,
For youth or the most distingue air
And fluent speech was he.
1 chose my friend because, forsooth,
heard the women say
That he was comely and PLEASANT youth
And possessed of winning way
When L asked him how my wooing sped,
And when ought to move
'She's really charming girl he said,
And faithful wife will prove''
then proposed. but to my surprise
No CLEAN of love-ight flashed
In the liquid depths of the great dark eyes,
Snowy-idded and silken-lABhed.
With gentle sigh she shook her head
And put my hopes to fight;
YOU'RE day too late," she softly said;
'.Your friend proposed last night

Srecial to the Gazette.

srecial to the Gazette.
New YoRx, March lone of the most nys-
FERROUS disappearance ever reported to
the police is that of Frank MCGOWAN,
who was last seen on January Is,
when he boarded a Christopher street
ear on his way to mis- home in Orange,
n. ]. For ten years MCGOWAN has been in the
mpIoy of Thomas a. Edison. He was the hero
OF the remarkable series of adventures thai
befell the expedition sent to South America by
Edison, in search OF a peculiar species of bamboo
to be used in his electric light system. Nc
Gowan, who was a protege of the great
inventor, endeared himself to Edison by
succeeding ii dangerous undertakings where
other agents failed. So indispensable was this
rare variety of bamboo fibre that Edison sent
cut two expeditions 10 scour the world in search
OF It. When they returned unsuccessful Nc
Gowan ventured TO head a party. Three years
ago. accompanied with of Edison's trusted
lieutenants, he started for South America. On
the way his companions fell sick and he had to
return home. MCGOWAN engaged q number Of
native guides and sent word to Edison that
he would not return until he had been successful
in his search. after hunt of two
wears during which he endured hardships
enough to kill dozen men. He located the
Growing place OF the bamboo and returned home,
after traversing nearly the whole OF South and
lv shattered, and he felt somewhat discouraged,
for while his search had been successful, ii was
n
time to invent q substitute for the peculiar kind
OF bamboo that he had volunteered to discover
Edison remembered his achievements by
present of $40, 600 and block OF stock in his
COMPANY, and MCGOWAN went to
Bath beach for the summer in search of health.
This he apparently regsined, for he had grown
as robust as ever when he went to Orange last
Sentember and superintendent the erection of
some buildings that Edison was putting up. On
January IS MCGOWAN called at the cigar manu-
factory of Earnest Ran, IL Clinton place, and
after transucting some business there, left at
E.30 in the afternoon for his home, 167 Alden
avenue, Orange. n. J.. Since then nothing has
been seen or heard of him. A week elapsed be-
fore anv alarm was felt at his disappearance as
he vas 10 follow Mr.. Edison, who had been for
Some time in South Carolina looking after min
ing interests, and at first it was supposed
that he had gone there,
when it became known for sure that he was

and public institutions within 100 miles were

TONS detectives were employed, and Inspector
Byrne sent out q second aiarrn, but Sc far no
trace of MCGOWAN has been discovered.
