WON A BUsHEL OF SILVER.
A Prominent American Business Mans
Experience at Baden-Baden Gaming.

A Prominent American Business Mans
Experience at Baden-B Baden Gaming.
New York Tribune.l
One evening after dinner in Paris the
conversation turned on Monte Carlo-the
ups and downs of fortune which are expert
enced at its gambling tables After several
interesting stories of loss and gain had been
told, distinguished American, one of the
best known business men in the United
States, was heard from.
''After graduated at an American col
lege," said he, 'I went abroad to spend an
additional year of study in Germany.
Baden Baden was then popular gambling
hell, and one afternoon, not long after ar
rived in Germany, found me at Baden
Baden. 1 sauntered into the room in which
the game was in full blast, and for some
time contented myself with simply betting
mentally without putting any money upon
the table. To my surprise and rather to my
elation everyone of these imaginary ventures
was success; and / could not but
reflect that if 1 had been putting my
money up 1 should have won quite
snug sum. Well, 1 had in my pocket half
dozen silver pieces. needed one of them
to pay for my return ticket. The rest l de-
termined to risk. 1 played them, one by
one, and lost until 1 laid down my last
thaler. That won. 1 placed it and my
winnings on the table and won again. l re-
peated the experiment and won third time.
Thoroughly infatuated, L continued to play
OIL through the afternoon, evening and night
until the bell rang which signifed that the
game was over until the next day. From
the moment began to win it seemed i'm
possible for me to lose, and accordingly
/ rose from the table with a pile of silver
before ME as big around, as it seems to me
as l now recall it, as a bushel basket. l
wondered how 1 ever was going to lug it
home. / filled all my pockets full and
then in my embarrassment of riches asked
a stranger at my side if it would be posi-
bic to obtain gold for the pile that still re-
mained on the table. He replied in the
affirmative and offered to make the ex-
change for me. So he gathered up the
silver, went out, and presently returned
with quantity of gold pieces. How much
silver he carried off didn't know; / didn't
stop to count it. II he charged Inc liberal
commission for his services, l was none the
wiser. l only remember that when got
back to my room found that 1 had won
considerably more money than all the funds
which had carried with me from America
for nv years expenses. 1 have never
entered q gambling establishment from that
day to this. You see, felt couldn 'tSaiford
to-I had always been a mathematician, and
I figured it out that according to the law Of
averages, could never have such a stroke
of luck again. So with me it was once and

A RESIDENCE IN ALASKA.
1t Is All Underground and Provides Very
Comfortable Quarters.

Chicago Times.1
On the Arctic shores of Alaska the land
is low and level. Over these vast stretches
of country the fierce north gales have full
sweep and habitations of the warmest, most
protected kind are an absolute necessity to
protect the natives and keep them from
freezing to death. Hence the form the ig-a-
loo takes. 1t is all under ground and the
gales can blow over it and the snow drifts
over it, yet the occupants are snug and
warm. And the roof being almost level
with the ground there is no danger Of being
buried under drifts of snow.
The entrance to the ig-a-loo is usually Is
feet or more away from the hut itself. This
entrance way consists of a small opening in
the ground and an underground passage
through which one has to crawl on all fours.
1t enters the room through hole in the
floor. AT the outside of the entrance is
shifting board, which controls the amount
of snow or air that gets into the passage
way, and there is a covering for the hole in
the floor, so that the occupants can make
themselves as snug as does the polar bear,
who hugs the lee side of a hammock of ice
in gale and allows the snow to drift in
heavily over him.
The floor to the ig-a-loo is most always a
good one, made of boards gathered along
the beach from wreckage of the many
whaleships that have been cast upon this
dangerous point. In the older huts the
walls are of logs snugly packed together
as in the old-time log hut, but most of the
huts have wainseoting rescued from the
wreckage. The huts are as neat, clean and
orderly as ever was good Dutch house.
wife's house.
The amount of heat the blubber oil stoves
are permitted to give our is limited, for
were the temperature much above the
freezing point water would drip from the
ceiling from the thawing frost in the turf
roof

BUTLER AND THE SPOONS.
The Correct Account of How the Story Got
Into Circulation.

How many people, do you suppose, know
the origin of the story that has.been circu-
lated about General Butler and the silver
spoons at New Orleans? asks Edgar Yates,
litterateur, in the St. Louis Glo6e-Democrat
1t was in 1864, when Butler was in New
York, in command of the military depart
ment there, that "Brick" Pomeroy, who was
publishing sensational paper about that
time, printed the first story that was ever
published about Butler and the spoons. The
story didn't contain any direct charge, but
dealt rather with innuendoes and illusions
OF course, there were lots of people in New
York then who were not disposed in
friendly way toward Butler, and this story
Immediately caught them. A day or two
after, "Brick'' Pomeroy observed the inter-
est that had been aroused by the publica-
ton of the spoons article, and placed in the
window of his publishing office statuette
of the General who had conducted the New
Orleans expedition. This statuette was not
different from any other figures of a simi-
lar character, except that Butler was repre-
sented in military attitude, with spoon
slung across his shoulder.

MRS. GILBERTS PLEA.
She Wants Counsel Fees and Almony From
Her Wealthy Husband.


ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.l
NEW YORK, Aug. ga motion was made
before Justice Patterson, of the Supreme
Court, to-day in behalf of Annie T. Gilbert
for counsel fees and alimony in her suit for
separation from her husband, Audinet Gill
bert Gilbert, who had a large income,
married the plaintiff, beautiful woman of
good social standing, at the church of st.
Francis Xavier, on September &, 1878. They
made number of tours together and were
well received in society, when they finally
settled down to marital life in this city. Mr..
Gilbert's father, Frederick Gilbert, was
President at one time of the New York Club.
The couple separated on November 10,
1885, and she went to live at Paris, where she
has until recently been maintained by her
husband. She assigns several reasons for
their separation. She says that her husband
sent her to Paris, threatening that if she did
not go he would leave her here to her own
resources. She says he has become addicted
to the use OF opium, after taking it in the
form of hasheesh. He was also, she says,
abusive and at times violent. Justice Pat
terson reserved his decision.

MAKING MONEY EASILY.
A Chicago Rogue Made Twenty Dollar
Bill From Pieces.


Captain Porter, of the Secret Service, of
Chicago. recently came into possession of
$50 counterfeit bill, the like of which has
never before been circulated, and it showed
that the man who made it is genius The
bill is to the unpracticed eye an old $50
treasury note that has been torn in many
places and patched together with pieces of
sticking plaster and red strips of paper, but
it sis all there" A close inspection, how
ever, showed the bill to be composed of
pieces torn from different good $50 bills.
Captain Porter counted seven pieces in the
note that had been torn from as many differ
ent notes.
All mutilated bills are redeemable at any
sub-treasury, provided three-fifths of the
bill is presented for redemption. The
maker of this note therefore, worked a very
neat scheme by taking seven $50 bills and
taking enough from each to make another
bill The mutilated notes being redeem
able he cashed for good notes at the sub-treas-
ury, and taking the portions he had torn off
made very presentable 500 bill. The num-
bers in each corner were different, but the
note in all other respects looks to be good
The patching of the pieces was done in a
clumsy manner purposely to deceive.

ONE LUCKY HIT.

When it is stated that Manager Selee's
team only secured one hit and one run it will
readily be understood that Baldwin was out
doing business. And let it be stated that
the run was scored under the luckiest kind
of circumstances, and that it was more bv
good luck than good management that the
hit was made The hit goes on record as
three-bagger for Kelly, the Less. That
Young laced Baldwin in the second inning
when two men were out and Nash was on
first base having got to that stage on base
of balls Kelly knocked a line fly over
second base and it was a little too short for
COrkhill 70 reach. But he made an effort
and failed by foot or so to get to the ball.
As result the ball struck his foot and
bounded away to right center field and
thaf was how Nash got home with the run
and how Kelly got his three-bagger. After
that the BostoDs never locked like scoring
as Baldwin had them completely at his
mercy.
The home players gave Baldwin excellent
support and the only error credited to the
locals was a somewhat eXcusable one by
Reilly that did not figure in the run getting.
Ward was in left field instead of Hanlon
who was unable to play on account of blood
poisoning in his leg. Ward made
A VERY GOOD IMPRESSION
and gave tokens of being a very useful man
on the team. When at bat he inspires good
deal of confidence among those who are
watching the game. In short he is appar-
emily reliable man when at bat. He hadn't
much chance to display his fielding abilities.
Staley pitched good game for the visitors
and WAS presented with a silver shaving set.
But there was a strong desire among the
spectators to see Harry pitch q losing game
and at stages noise enough was made to
shake his nerves Once he waited awhile
until quiet vast o some extent restored, but
despite his good efforts he was doomed to
defeat.
As the contest progressed it looked as if
the home representatives were going TO be
shut out When the seventh inning COM
mcnced the score stood one to nothing in
ming and made n single to left after Nash
had mufred his foul fly Beckley knocked
f1v out to Brodie which was easily nabbed,
Lally got his base on balls. Ward was hit
by 4 pitched ball, filling the bases. reilly
for the third time struck out, and Corkhill
knocked a grounder to Long, and the latter
made wild throw TO first, Corkhill being
safe and Miller scoring. wild pitch scored
Lally, and Baldwin struck out.
THEY PILED UP RUNS.
In the ninth inning Beckley led off with
mn infield nit which was safe. Lally followed
with another safe scratch hit between first
and second, and q passed ball sent the two
runners to second and third. Ward made
sacrifice hit and an effort TO throw Beckley
out at the plate was unsuccessful. Ially
went TO third and Ward reached first safely.
Ward stole second and Lally scored on
throw OF Corkhilrs grounder and Ward
scored. Baldwin made sacrifice and Bier
bauer made a single, and as a result Cork
hill scored the last ruu The score.
