A Gamblers Streak of Luck.
Washington City Letter.


Harry Romano, of the National theatel
here. tells a story of an astonishing streak
of luck that he had while al Fredericks-
burg with his regiment during the war.
There was an enormous deal OF high
gambling going on those days, and for
about = fortnight his winnings averaged
nearly s., 600 day, without loss. The
last night that he played he left off $1,000
winner, after holding at least dozen
fours-of-a-kind against full hands, and SO
forth One of his opponents. who had
lost heavily, offered HIM 500 for the pack
of cards they had been playing with,
which happened to be the property of Ro-
maine. The latter thought the PROPOSE
ton an astonishing one but accepted the
money, upon which the purchaser. declar-
ing that he did the thing deliberately for
the purpose of breaking Romaine's luck
tore the cards INTO small pieces and scat
tered them 10 the winds. Romano was
lust superstitious enough himself to fear
that his luck had been broken in this way.
and he swore on the spot never TO touch
another card; nor has he done so since.

HAL POINTER WON
The Great Race at Terre Haute,
Indiana.
REMARKABLY GOOD TIME MADE
On Track That Was Two Seconds Siow-Puintsr
Takes Three Of the -Four Heats, but
Was Closely Pushed in ALI.

TERRE HAUTE, IND, October IA
misty morning and chilly northwest
wind stood in the way of an attendance
in keeping with the high character OF
the second days programme. Not
withstanding these unfavorable condi-
tions about 5000 people were on the
grounds when the unfinished match
pace was called.
Previous to the first heat pools sold,
Hal Pointer $50, Direct S25, with plenty
of takers for both ends. Fully sixty
thousand dollars went into the box De-
fore the bell was tapped. The word was
given, first time down, Pointer having
little the best of it, Starr having noticed
for the word. Geers followed his
tactics of yesterday and allowed no
lettering by the way. The first pole
was passed in 334 secones; no change
of position to the half in 1:054; the
down hill eighth the pace is quickened
and fifteen seconds mark the rate; the
three-quarters in 1897 and Starr begins
10 ply the whip. The stallion gamely
answers the call and they turn into the
stretch at terrific burst, Hal Pointer
answering easily eyeay effort by Direct.
The black stallion is game but nature
cannot stand the clip. They go under
the wire with Geer's head turned watch
ing Direct.
No pools were sold on the last heat.
The conclusion had forced itself that
Pointer is unbeatable. The second score
they got the word. Pointer, with his
ears laid back, was the personification
of determination. Geers carries Direct
wide at the turns and gives him long
mile. At the quarter, in 33A seconds,
Direct Is length back, Starr evidently
holding back for brush. The same
position is maintained to the half In 1:O7
and the three-quarters in 1:40. Starr
now rallies the black horse with the
skill of master reinsman. He is on to
Pointers wheel at the turn for home.
AT the distance Direct falters, but Starr
gathers him up and with great drive
tries in sheer desperation for the heat.
There is no use, Pointer has speed and
endurance to spare.
The track is judged by experts to be
fully two seconds slow, and the condi-
tions were in favor Of Pointer. Sum-
mary:

An entertainment was devised, to-
ward the last OF Parnell's social at
tempts. entirely in his honor, and many
prominent persons, who dare not DEFY
the invitations of a Lord Chancellor's
widow, were invited to the banquet.
The event passed off with somewhat
sitter formality than usually marks
such occasions. Toward the end one Of
the charming Miss Hatherlys managed
10 get Mr.. Parnell under her wing, and
whispered, unObserved: do not take
your own carriage in going home. Dan
ger. Another awaits you"-naming
place. Mr.. Parnell took the other car
rage, and on examining his own, when
it arrived at his lodgings, found dunn
nv OF himself, with dagger driven
home through the place where the heart
Of a living man would be.
This Miss Hatherly became the wife
Of Capt. William O'Shea and Mr.. Par
nell continued to visit them as an inti-
mate friend. Finally Capt. O'Shea in
Stituted divorce proceedings, and in
1890 Mr.. Parnell was convicted OF hav-
ing committed adultery with Mrs.
O'Shea.
After Parnell's conviction his infu-
ence began to wane, and he was de-
nounced by a majority of his followers,
who refused to acknowledge him as
their leader. The protest against him
was signed by four ArchbiShops and is
Bishops Of the Church Of Rome.
Since that time the Irish party has
been split into two faetiOns-tne Par
nelliteS and anti Parnellites, the latter
having elected Justin Mccarthy as their
leader. Recently Mr.. Parnell and Mrs.
O'Shea were married, and since then
had lived quietly at their Brighton
home.

DUBLIN, October THE members OF
the National League are making ar
rangements to attend the funeral OF
Mr. Parnell.
The members of Parliament and 9TH
ers who remained followers OF Mr.. Par
nell at a meeting to-day appointed
Messrs. Pierce Mahoney and John Red
mond a committee to proceed TO Bright
on tonight in order TO be OF all the as
sistance possible. The offices OF the
National League were fairly besleged
with an excited concourse OF warm
hearted Irishmen who had forgotten all
about the divorce troubles OF Mr.
Parnels in their desire TO express SYM
pathy with the great leader Of the Irish
people, who has fought so many battles
for them in behalf OF home rule.
Many tear-stained faces were seen
among the crowd as the good qualities
OF the dead man were referred TO, and
when his efforts in the cause OF Irish
independence were mentioned. Prom
inent ParnellItes who have been inter
viewed declare that 1t will not effect
their position, and that they intend to
continue in independent opposition to
the party which has taught against
their leader.

Parnen's Mother Learns of Her Sons
rending Anguish.
BoRDENTowN, n. J., October THE
news Of her sons death was first made
known to Mrs. Parnell by reporter
this morning. When the reporter was
announced, Mrs. Parnell evidently
OWNED that he had some information
relating to Mr.. Parnen for she ex-
claimed:
"What has befallen my son?"
Seeing that the reporter hesitated,
she continued; "Is he III, or worse, has
he been shot, or did he shoot him
selfP"
The reporter broke the news to her as
gently as possible, and when he at last
announced that Mr.. Parnell was dead,
the white-haired mother reeled back
ward and fell on the floor.
"Oh, my son. Oh, my good, kind
Charles, they have killed you," she
shrieked.
Her grief was heartrending. She was
seized with Mysteries, and by turns she
laughed aud wept.
"That viper" she exclaimed, after
she recovered, pointing a long, bony
finger at the house OF her half-brother,
Edward Stewart, ''that viper over there
kept me away from him. He began q
suit for $4,000 against me TO dispoS-
sess me OF my home, and l spent

cred by Bishop John Z. Hurst, Rev.
James Carlisle, and Rev. DIR. John
Douglass. Responses were made by
Rev. DR.. T. b. Stephenson, Mr.. George
Green, and Rev. Ralph Abercrombie.

taken from the old City Road Chapel,
London, The corner stone Of which was
laid by John Wesley. The bible used

of John, in the church at Epworth.

Bond, of England; Fourth Secretary,
Mr. T. l.. c. Shape, Of England.
The delegates were welcomed by
Bishop Hurst and Rev. j. II. Carlisle.
Rev. T. b. Stephenson, of London, said
that when an Englishman came here he
felt as II he had shaken off some OF the
shackles; stepped into country where
1t made no difference what church u
man belonged to; where he did not meet
'people who are too highly cultured"
Mr.. George Green, of Glasgow, hoped
the differences between the Methodists
would be worn down by this council.
The Doxology was sung and the nrst

That cheered him and it pleased me to
say so, although was in poverty. Oh!
he was good and dutiful son and never
neglected me-"
"Lies, lies, lies, all lies, when they
say he refused to provide for me. Isay
its SANDER. foul SANDER" Then the
old lady paced up and down the room
sobbing convulsively. "It's Michael
Davitt and the Irish Worlds persecu-
ton and the politicians that have killed
him." she cried. 81 knew this last
trouble would be his death, and to
think that 1 could not be near him at all
On account OF those vlpers."
"His DEATH" she said after mo-
ment's pause, "has been caused by the
persecution of his enemies. His heart
has been broken. In the death of my
son Ireland has lost her best friend.
No other would or could have done as
much as he"
At present the old lady (she is now
Seventy-six) lives alone, with the excep-
tion of one friend, in the big house
known as IronsIdes. She is living in
abject poverty.
