AN ENGLISH WORKMAN ON THE BAcCARAr CASE


TO the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir In your issue of June Is there appears letter
signed g. c. X in which the writer refers to the
baccarat and abors hard to whitevash the Prince
Of Wales claiming that his conduct all through has
been that of a thorough sportsman. or course
&C. c. X" Is entitled TO his opinion to what true
sport and what is not. but at the time II would
have been better had he curaled somewhat his eu0gy
of the Prince and shown wherein lies all the
HONOR the candor" and the sporsmanship" which
interested or sycophantc persons would have be-
eve were the chief characteristics Of that particular
game of cards played at Tranby Croft &C. c. ks
letter, like many Others that have appeared in the
press seems to indicate that the writer has peculiar
notions of what is honor" For my own part should
say that apart from any swndling suspicious play,
when man sits down to play cards with the inten-
ton. we'll understood. If not expressed, Of extracting
money from his neighbours pocket and transferring
1t to his without rendering any equivalent what
it IS time to stop talking Of honor There has
been altogether too much mouthing OF this word in the
baccarat scandal case and /, an English laborng
man driven to this country by the hard conditions OF
life in England, rise to protest against any further
dissertation of the term. The whole of England's
honor is not embodied in game of cards: neither is
it entirely In the hands Of the men who talk Of
flyers" and tenners" elegant words these for men
who have been to colleges and universities for half
life time, though many Of the scrDes who have been
writing to The papers seem TO have an idea that 1t
is. There other people in England besides those
who play battedore and shuttlecock with flyers and
tenner and handle and toss about in such nonchaant
and vmay sort Of way vast amounts of money
earned by others. The mddleclasses and the working
classes just proud and jealous of their coun
try's good and prestige their arisocratic
neighbors and they do vastly more to maintain and
uphold them. 1t Is somewhat rough on the industrious
class I'm England that the wealthy people of America,
who have conception Of the dire and hopeless
condition and poverty Of the tOng multitudes in the
old country. should be ready to trucke to and to
hobnob with their OppressOrs and taskmaster. Amer
have no TO feel In any wise elaed at seeing
their cOuntrymen and women genufecting and
posturng in the courts and precincts of an effete
monarchy raising smile Of commiseration at the
silly vanity and weakness they discover in their efforts
to ngraate themselves into the good graces Of shay
and paraltc old aristecracy. II would be interesting
10 know where these hybrids show themselves the
Fourth Of JuN. II appears to me impossible that they
enter heartily into the festivities and celebration
of that glorious day. W. W.

Chicago, March l9.--The consigp'
mont Of Pullman cars which will leave
this city in few days for Australia,
and which will be accompanied by a
large delegation Of worltmen who will
be engaged for several months in put
ting them together and fitting them for
service on the Australian roads, marks
the inauguration OF new era in the de-
ve.opment of the works at Pullman.
Largely as a result OF the opinions ex-
pressed by the numerous foreigners who
yearly visit this country, the comforts
and conyeniences of the Pullman
system are being moro largely rec
ognized than ever abroad, and
numerous inquiries, especially in
relation to the vestibule patents,
are coming in, not only from England,
but from nearly every quarter OF the
European continent. According 10 pres
ent indications 1t will be but q few
years before tho railroads of the old
world arc honeycombed with the Pull
man plant to as great an extent as those
OF this country. Several American rail-
roads, moreover, and which have hither-
to been inclined to favor other sleeping
car systems, are negotiating with the
Pullman works for future contracts. in
legal circles which make q specially OF
patents and inventions, the opinion Is
coniidentially expressed that the decis-

pretty 1l-year-old girl, the picture o;
innocence, was charged with being an
idle and dissolute woman. The com
plainant was Grace l.. Church, and the
diminutive respondent Lucreta d.

bance brought the little one into court
Sevon years ago Grace l.. Brown was
divorced from William l.. Brown, tho

Mrs. Brown, year or two later, mar

Mrs. Churoh wanted to secure possess

was sworn out accusing the child OF
habitual idleness and lewdness. When
the child was brought into court the
mother sought to have the case discon-
tinued. but Judge Cook. TO clear tho
girl OF the stigma. insisted that tho
case should be tried. The mother then
tearfully admitted that the charge was
unfounded. The mother then rushe
the child out OF the court houss. The
father next secured writ OF habeas
corpus and is now hunting for the little
ono.
