Mr.. Gladstone, after refusing the
honor Of an Earldom, may yet pass his
declining years in the dignity of cap
taincy OF Deal Castle. His name is
mentioned in connection with the APP
pointment, which has become vacant
by the death of Lord Sydney. The
post is in the gift of his close friend,
Lord Granville, and the duties are
light. They consist in the acceptance
OF a pleasant seaside residence.

THE KELLOGG CASE DISMISSED.


Ine Doctor Is Discharged Because OF .
Loyal Technically.
The Kellogg case was dismissed yesterday
by Judge Sanders. The reasons may. be
learned in the following chat with Mr..
kinsley. He said: I'VE are not disposed
to crow over our victory. All the doctor
asks now is to be treated like other physi-
clans. He has applied to the state medical
board for certificate, which was refused.
He appealed, and the matter is now in the
district court. In the course of few weeks
we will prosecute the appeal. We didn't
care tie do 1t while the other case was pend
ing. as it would have looked like bluff.
You will notice that during the trial we
never claimed that the girl was an accom-
pllce. Neither was she under the law. The
county attorney wanted her evidence. The
only way to get it was to keep her in Gus
tody; the only way to do that was to arrest
her; the only way to arrest her was to make
her an accornplice. He did that and there
was our case. The law expressly says you
must corroborate the testimony Of an &C
complete by other evidence tending to con-
meet the defendant with the crime charged.
They failed to do that"
1t appears that full examination az to
the guilt or innocence of DR.. Kellogg was
prevented by legal technicality. Mr..
Nolan had the woman arrested because he
was afraid she would be taken out of town
BY Or. kellogg's friends before the exam
ination. He regards the decision Of Judge
Sanders as an outrage on justice. The
prosecution he says is not yet finished.

Gossip and Facts About the Business In

The Missoula Office was to open Monday on
its own account. But it is doubtful whether
it will. Judge Anderson, the register of

agreed to receive no more business from

The Jury Have the Case.

. +
The Strong divorce suit took mp pretty
nearly all the time of the court yesterday.
At about five o'clock the lawyers got
through with the witnesses. Judge Hunt
said he would allow each side an hour in
which to sum up to the jury. The atto--
neys concluded to submit the case to the
jury without argument. The court in its
instructions to the twelve men asked them
to also bring in with their verdict special
finding as to the value of the property
owned by the husband. After the jury re-
tired the judge and several persons waited
for about an hour. but nothing was heard
from the jury. The Judge informed the
jury men that in case they had verdict
to render they could seal it ard make it
known this morning. The testimony given
yesterday was much of the same nature az
the dav before. The plaintiff was strong in
affirmation and the defendant equally az
strong in denial.

ALONG THE RIVIERA.
A Country Where Games of Chance Have
Always Been in Favor.

|
Gaming is q habit of very old date
along the Riviera; it might continue if
the casino at Monte Carlo were razed to
the ground. AT San Reno games of
chance are forbidden by law now, yet
the lottery, which is the most demoral-
izing of all forms of gambling, is per-
mitted there, as in all Italian cities.
| Upward of century ago the game of
chance commonly played at San Reno
was biribi. This game is chiefly kept
in remembrance by references to it in
the writings of noted men. For ex-
ample, Paul Louis Courier, in one of his
incompatible pamphlets, twits the FL
nance Minister of his day with playing
biribi with the finances. This game
was far more unfavorable to the player
than the roulette which is played at
Monte Carlo in these days. A biribi
table contains seventy compartments,
each compartment being distinguished
by figure and number. Sixty-four
balls, with figures painted and numbers
marked on them, are placed i'll bag.
The player puts his stake in one of the
compartments. and If the ball drawn
out of the bag should correspond to it
then he receives Ga times his stake.
There are 81 chances to / against a
player at biribi receiving any thing; at
roulette the chance of his doing SO on a
nutdber is SO to l, and no person has yet
mano fortune by playing on numbers
at roulette. Thus the modern game of
roulette ruins player more slowly than
the older one of biribi.
The game of roulette, or, as it is des-
ignated in the statute book, ''roly poly"
is an ingenious device for inspiring a
player with the prospect of gain, and
for insuring that the player will con-
tribute to maintain the keepers of the
table. There is more excitement in
playing at roulette than at trente-et-
quarante, though the certainty of ulti-
mate loss is the same at either. In
deed, the man who Systematically spec
utates on the stock exchange, who bets
on the turf, or who games at Monte
Carlo helps to add to stockholders in
come in the first place, to increase n
bookmaker's profits in the second, and
to pay dividends to the shareholders in
the casino in the third. l assume that
in each of the three cases every thing
has been done fairly and in accordance
with the rules laid down.
Ibis point of view is not sufficiently
borne in mind. When the wickedness
of gaming is denounced, too little heed
| is paid to its unprofitableness, and
human beings are more reluctant to do
that which will not pay than that which
is called sinful. There is wild delight
in SHINING which is not felt in losing
! money -Ninetesnth Century.

hatched under its kindly influence.
The "Hogarty Diamond" tho "Wander-
ings OF the Fat Contributor" and tho
''Snob Papers" all were due to the in
spiration sucked through its dainty
stem. Little Billee," the best bit of
nonsense verse ever written, was born
at Punch dinner and wrapped in the
swaddling clothes of the old pipes
cloudy smoke. Thackeray, with his
glasses pushed up on his big forehead,
and his eyes twinlSling, chanted it dolor-
ously, while Douglas Jerrold rolled
about on the floor bowling with
laughter.
The old pipe grows garrulous, recall
ing these days and nights.
But the fire sinks in the bowl and the
old pipe gurgles sadly and falls into a
quieter mood. 1t murmurs something Of
Kensington gardens and the big new
house, of a sudden illness, and then
the pipe is out.
Take him for all in all-or 'alf-an'-'alf
