EsLER PLAYS POKER.
His Opponent Didn't Know Who
He Had Against Him.

His Opponent Didn't Know Who
He Had Against Him.
New Orleans Times Democrat.
Fred X. ESler, of the Northeastern
Elevated railroad enterprise of Phila-
delphia, has figured in a poker story.
He has cottage this season at fashion
able LenoX, and in the swell casino at
that place was engaged the other even
ing i'll game OF euchre, one of tue par
Elephants being +. G.. Barlow.
At the conclusion of the game there
was suggestion that in order to make
up purse for the servants OF the es
adjustment a poker hand should be
dealt around with the privilege of a
draw, 1t must be borne in mind that
the game having been euchre, there
were no cards in the deck lower than
seven. Gen. Barlow having scanned
his hand, said to ESler: Il wonder il
you are young man of nerve? Out
side of the pot l would like to wager
you the enormous sum of SO that my
hand will be beat yours"
This was before the draw ESler
found that he had bObtail straight, in
Guiding a seven, eight, nine and ten,
and, forgetting that it was really open
at one end and that seven was the low
t1oJ CGlu, NltlCIl. VI COulSt. AOuIU ilOO DC
the case in full poker deck, ne
thought that he had an excellent OppOr-
tunity for filling it at either end i'm the
draw, and accordingly made the wager.
He drew a jack and Gen. Barlow did
not improve the three kings which he
held. When Esler threw down his
hand and raked in the money Gen. Bar
low looked at him i'll amazement and
said:
You are the young man have been
looking for. DO you get your nerve
from your Philadelphia birth or your
New York residence? The man who
will make previous wager apon a
straight open only at one end eXcltes my
admiration. You are entirely too brash
for this community"
Then for the first time did it dawn
upon Esler that his straight had only
been OPEN at one end. He made DO adj
mission OF this fact, however, and
scarcely blush mantled his face, as he
coOl.y replied: "Oh, | knew | would
draw the jack. Even the PHILADELPHIA
babies can play poker better than grown
people i'll other communities.

LIKE 4 STANDING ARMY

On this side of the water it looks like
an imposition and burden upon the tax
paving masses to keep up the enormous
military establishments of ali the prom
inent nations Of Europe, for purposes
not involving the welfare of the people.
1t is drain on the resources of the
country and an Improbable expendi-
ture of public money. Millions of men
are supported by taxation Of producers.
Something analogous may be found in
this country. There are some classes
Of manufactures that protectionists
claim could not be continued without the
aid afforded by the duties excIu d.
ing competition from abroad and en-
aiding the operators to Iaise the selling
prices of the goods. If this is the fact.
the employees of such industries are
supported by filching the money from
the people, as in the case of the vast
standing armies. 1t has been computed
that the people pay $500. 900, 600 per
year by virtue of the tariff, in addition
to what goes to the government. Take
half that sum, and presume that $50, 900
men would be thrown out of employ
ment without the protection of the
tariff, it would cost but Sis, 100000 to
pay these 100000 laborerS Sl.50 per
day without work, and be a say
ing to the people of 1885,, OO0, 900 an
unally. 1t is true this would be at the
expense o the steel rail trust, the glass
trust and the hundreds of others that

What might have resulted in seri-
Gus conflagratiOn was only prevented
last evening by the prompt arrival of
the fire department. Shortly after Q
smoke was discovered issuing from the
windows of the Pioneer Press job print

Third and Minnesota streets. An
alarm was at once turned in, and
in a few minutes the street was crowded
with fire apparatus, no less than four
engines and hose carts, two trucks
and three chemical engines answering
the call. The fire WAS beneath the
flooring on the second story, probably
caused by oyerheating of the steam
pipes. In less time than it takes to tell
it the firemen had cut holes i'll the floor

with streams from the chemicals. The

SNAKES ON THH SIDEWALK.
The Horrible Yell of Rusher of
the GrOwler.

The Horrible Yell of Rusher of
the GROWER.
San Antonio Light
On Saturday night about 10 80 O'clock,
as a Light attache was passing DR..
Fields residence on South Presa street,
he almost trod upon large rattlesnake
that was lying on the SideWal &.
His first impression was that the
snake was dead and had been placed
there by a practical joker to scare peO-
pie, but on throwing a stone at it, which
was a very large one, it cOiled up, rat
tied, ana made ready to defend itself.
Just then Prof. Runge came along, and
would have walked right onto the snake
had not the Light man called his at
tention TO the reptile. When the pro-
feSsOr saw the snake he jumped into
the middle of the street Both parties
then tried to kill the snake, but the only
weapons they had were an ax-handle
and some small rocks, and the reptile
escaped into DIR. Fields garden. For
tunately at the time the electric light
showed the presence of the snake, or
both of the men would have been badly
bitten before they realized their danger.
On Sunday night about 2:30, as PO-
lander was rushing his GROWER to
GlaeSer's saloon, he passed Mr.. JeSSe's
residence. corner of South Presa and
Perelda street, which is nearly opposite
that of DR.. Field. when he heard a rat
tier" and, looking around, he saw a
big snake lying cOiled up near
the fence and ready to strike
him. The man gave horrible
yell and jumped almost across the
street. An alarm was made, and SOON
Mr.. Jesse came out with lantern and
hoe. His snakeship was killed and
soon lay in pieces on the road, and the
Polander went on triumphantly with
the head and rattle of the defunct snake
that Mr.. Jesse killed. This snake is
supposed TO have been the one that
scared pedestrians on the previous
night. and the neighbOrs are much re-
lieved by the idea that it can 10 longer
