Cheating at Cards.

On u very moderate estimate, out of
every hundred men who play high at games
of pure chance, at least three cheat, and
out of every hundr women Mt least six.
They do not always cheat. but every now
and then when they think no one is look
ing, they, as the Americans say, play with
the advantages" if one will take the
trouble to count up the number of persons
who live year after year far above their in
comes, and who play habitually at games
of chance, and are yet never in debt, he
will perceive that they must cheat. for Mt
no game of pure chance can an habitual
PLAYER win year after year.
1t is simply impossible if he does not
give himself some little advantage over his
opponents. The advantage, however, need
not be above two or three per cent. for hin,
to make a good thing out of his playing.
At baccarat, for instance. n person playing
tlo tor each coup would stake in an hour
at least 900. ana two per cent. on this
wonid insure him sc per hour. If he plays
frequently the luck of one hour would bal
ance the ill-luck of another hour, SO that
were he to play 200 hours in the wear his
annual revenue from cards would be el,lO

GAVE A MURDERER AWAY.
A Woman's Revenge for Being Swindle
Out of Her Money.

A WOman's Revenge for Being Swindled
Out of Her Money.
Ida Bell and another colored woman ar
rived in Helena about a week ago from Du-
luth, Mimi. They took up quarters on
Clore street. On Wednesday night they
went to police headquarters and asked to
have a telegram sent to the chief of police
of Duluth notifying him of the presence in
Chicago of Frank Atkinson, colored At
kinson is wanted III Duluth for shooting q
colored woman named Ida l.. Wilson. The
story told by the Bell woman is that At
kinson tried to force Idg Wilson to give
him some money. On her refusal he shot
her, the ball entering her face and coming
out the back of her head. The matter was
kept quiet, with the hope that she would
recover. Her condition, however, after
wards became so serious that it is thought
she is dead by this time. Ida Bell
saw the whole transaction. Being %anxions
to get to Helena with her female companion,
she had given Atkinson $50 to buy their
tickets with. He never bought the tickets
nor made any other return Of The money.
Ida Bell had to pawn her iewelry to get
here. A few days ago she got n letter from
a friend i'll Chicago telling her Atkinson
was there. Prompted by desire to get even
with the man who had robbed her she took
the story to the police here. and paid fol
the telegram to Duluth. 1t was quite lone
and gave the list of places where Atkinson
could be found i'll the windy city. Whether
the Duluth police have acted ON the lufor.
nation and whether Atkinson has beer
caught in Chicago or not, has not been
learned.

BUILDERS AND MANUFACTURERS
A Dead Letter Clause In the Bylaws
Wiped Off the Books.

A Dead Letter Clause In the Bylaws
Wiped Off the Books.
The matter of sending work out of the
city was not brought up at the regular
meeting of the Builders and Manufacturers
association last night. Two bylaws were
stricken out, however, because they were
practically dead letters. One required
members, in making estimates on contracts.
to add not less than 10 per cent to the
estimated cost, as profit. 1t was found to
be impossible to tell whether the members
were living up to this requirement or not.
The other bylaw which was repealed forbade
members contracting for any work outside
their special line unless they were general
contractors, and required them to make a
charge for plans ranging from a dollar a
thousand on jobs of $4,000 or less, down to
fifty cents a Thousand on work of $4,000,
bnt not to charge when they got the COLI
tract. This was also repealed because it
was found impossible to enforce it.
The question of the exchange en-
the position of building inspector
was brought up, and it was decided that no
such action could be taken under the con-
stitution. The name of the member wish
ing endorsement was not mentioned, but 1t
is known that two of them have been men
toned in connection with the otfice-W. Y.
Simonton and William Norris. The presi-
dent of the exchange was directed to APP
point three members from each industry
represented among the membership to act
with a similar committee from labor organ
izations in the settlement of disputes be-
tween employers and employees. When
they fail to agree the arbitration commits
sion of the exchange is to try it's hand.
There will be IA meeting of the arbitration
nnmIoltfap and the Carp6nta"R COmmltt26
next Tuesday to try to agree on wages and
hours of work for the ensuing season.
Jacob Switzer and Edward Wagner were
elected members of the exchange.

THE NEW NATION.

The complete draught of the new con
stitution just adopted by the federation
of Australian colonies will be awaited
with interest. The cabled synopsis is
meager and comes through English
channels, which are not likely to give us
impartial news. One thing is certain
and that Is hat the hitherto separated
colonies have formed ID commonwealth,
adopted a uniform system of laws, and
made a long stride toward self-govern-
ment while wearing the outward habili-
ments of royalty. The convention by d
large majority voted down a proposition
to elect the chief executive by a popu-
lar vote and the encouragement is to
be appointed by the queen but, as n
London journal says with a growl. "the
new government is practically a republic
with a monarchical veneer" Another
London newspaper speaks of the new
constitution as "A cross between the
Canadian and the American instru-
ments, while still another says, 'the
Australians have copied the constitu-
ton of the United States, avoiding its
defects" whatever that may mean.
1t is pretty clear from these English
advices that the tie binding the Aus
tralian colonies to England is very
slight-so slight indeed that the APP
pointment of an obnoxious sprig
of royalty as encouragement fol
instance would easily snap it. The
bouncing young daughter Of the an.
tipodes is just on the verge of setting
up housekeeping for herself. She merely
tolsrates the maternal authority o.

her, but because the old lady behaves
herself, isn't troublesome and doesn'
interfere. The New York Times in com

HELENA, MONT, APRIL 10. 1891
NEW IMMIGRATION LAW.

Malta murders ana ltallan
SQUADS at drill serve as forcible remind
ers--if reminders are needed-ot the
changed character of the Immigration
that is deluging our shores. There was
a time when the advantages of this great
country added every year to the ranks
of our citizens some of the best bone,
sinew and brains of Europe. But emf
grafton from the western countries of
the European continent to-day IS not a
shadow of what it was some years ago.
Instead Of the sturdy, energetic, ambi-
tious foreigners, who helped to build up
the west and the northwest. we are be-
ing flooded with a far less desirable class
of immigrants. Italians, Poles, Russians
of the lowest and most degraded class
are landed every week in perfect swarms,
and these are scarcely the men that
have the markings of good American CIT
liens in them.
In the interests of the law-abiding, in
dustrious population of the United
States. it is to be sincerely hoped that
the immigration law, which went into
force on the first day of this month. will
prove of some avail. Immigration laws
have not proved a shining success so
far, and the average man may be par
doned if he looks with suspicion upon
any production IN this line OF legisla-
ton. The law of five years ago was not
a bad measure, as it stood upon the
statute book, but it's provisions were
never carried out in thorough detail.
The enforcement of any law requires the
right stamp of men and the right power
behind them. If these conditions are
assured, the present law is fully capable
of preventing this country from con-
tinuing to be a general dumping ground
for the pauper, criminal and idiotic sur
plus of the old world. 1t provides for a
superintendent of immigration, whose
sole and entire business it is to see to
the execution of the law. Government
agents have been appointed, and every
possible facility has been given them for
acquiring a knowledge of the character
of every would-be citizen of the United
States. A serious and we'll deserved
blow has been given to the avarice of
steamship companies. Heretofore they
have been in the habit of drumming up
immigration business among aliens for
the sake of what there was in it for
themselves. A sensible clause Of the
new law provides for the return within
a year of all prohibited individuals, and
the company that brings them over is to
have the satisfaction Of escorting them
home again. Even England is agitating
for the imposition Of some check upon
undesirable immigration, and We with
many times England's advantages and
cannot afford to dismiss this
important subject as unworthy of atten-
ton.

self entirely willing to absorb whatever
benefit might be distracted from the
connection without rendering anything
in return. There is no reason whatever
why the colonies, now that they have
grown up, should make any sacrifices on
behalf Of this cold-hearted parent, and
there is no reason to expect that any
such sacrifice will be made"

The bids for the location of the Conpre-

appearances Helena's chances are not the
best. Bozeman, Missouia and Great Falls
are In the competition with Helena and it
is understood Great Falls will make an

will exceed what Helena propote, to give.
Bozeman, too, does not propose to let the

chances, and her offer when opened will
be found to be "A most attractive one.
