James park into private gambling dens at
government expense. 1t is asserted that
the one in the neighborhood of Alfred
Gate continued to be frequented by the
Prince of Wales until the day when his
friend George Russell was detected in the
act of cheating.
In view of the attitude of Mrs. Arthur
Wilson toward Sir William Gordon-Cum-
ming at Tranby Croft, it may be mentioned
that the Duchess NOW dowager) Of Man
chester discovered George Russell's unfair
play at cards few weeks previous to his
public exposure. She made the discovery
at her country seat, KimboltOn castle,
where he was staying at the time as guest
invited to meet the Prince and Princess Of
Wales. The duchess said nothing at the
time, being DESTROYS to avoid anything like
scandal during the royal visit, but devoted
all her remarkable tact and wonderful sa-
voir faire to throw obstacles in the way Of
card playing during the remainder OF
George Russell's stay.
1t was not until after his public exposure
at one of the London clubs that she finally
! consented to disclose what she had wit
| messed at kimbolton castle. George Rus

That Texas "cowmen" are still sensitive
to newspaper criticism was proven by the
killing Of Editor w. a. Bowen, st San
Antonio, a short time ago. Bowen, who
was well known rs a humorous writer,
had criticised man named Alice rather
severely, and the latter shot him on sight
on a railroad train. Bowen was native
of Tennessee and was educated for the
ministry. There was no malice in his ma
ture, but he thought his obligations TO his
employers demanded vitriolic articles. He
had a kind, genial nature, and was well
liked by all classes except the gamblers
and ''cow thieves" whom he scored I'M
mercifully on the slightest proyocation.

every respectable British merchant feels
toward gambling, and unwilling in any
way to encourage or develop the danger
Gus tastes of the younger members of his
family in that direction. 1t was only when
his back was turned that the hostess gave
way to the request of her royal guest, and
organized q baccarat table for his enter
tainment.
Unfortunately this is by no means the
first occasion on which the Prince of Wales
has been guilty of an offense of this kind
against the laws both of hospitality and Of
good taste Although the matter has never
until now appeared in print, he rendered
himself liable TO a somewhat similar charge
few years ago at Goodwood, the superb
county seat of the Duke of Richmond in
Sussex.
Ever since the marriage of the heir ap-
parent, near upon thirty years ago, the
duke has been in the habit Of entertaining
the Prince and Princess of Wales together
with a large party of royal and distin-
guished personages at his house during
the annual Goodwood races, which extend
over several days.
The duke, who is of the same age as Queen
Victoria, is a man of immense independ-
ence of mind and strength of character.
He has two fads-namely, his horror for
gambling in every form, and his infiexible
rule of retiring to bed every night at sharp
10 o'clock, no matter where he may happen
20 be or who is present.
A few seasons ago, having heard in town
of the taste for baccarat of the prince, he
mentioned TO the latter, on the arrival Of
the royal party at Goodwood, his aversion
TO games of hazard under his roof, basing
his objections on a horrible gambling trag-
edy which had taken place there in the
previous century. He wound up by exact
ing pledge from the prince that under no
circumstances should baccarat be played
during the royal visit.
The prince somewhat reluctantly gave
his sword to the duke that his wishes should
be observed, and the old peer, confding in
the honor of his future king, retired tran
GULLY to bed at his ordinary hour. On the
third day of the races, however, the dnke,
who, as usual, had hidden his royal guests
good night at 10 o'clock, happened to have
occasion to come down stairs again about
an hour later.
Imagine his astonishment and wrath to
find the male portion of the house party
and some of the ladies seated round table
playing at baccarat for high stakes, with
the Prince of Wales acting as bankerl The
dukes Indignation got the better of his
loyalty and good temper, and he openly
protested to the prince against the manner
in which his confidence had been betrayed.
The prince cut but sorry spectacle, since he
could find no valid excuse for his behavior,
and the card party broke up in confusion.

Gated you will hear from me. When In
trouble consult the Bible. Turn the pages
at random and you will be comforted. Ask
counsel from the Bible" There was no
reference to Mrs. Bristol in the note
At Bristol's office it was learned that
neither he nor the children had been there
during the day. Mrs. Bristol became fran
tic with anxiety when she learned that the
superintendent of the railway had received
a note from the missing man rendering his
resignation in peculiar language. 1t was
believed Bristol had become suddenly de-
mented, aud great fear arose as TO his and
the children's safety. For several days not
a trace of them could be found
Eventually Mrs. Bristol discovered that
her husbands fishing tackle, game bags
and rife were missing from the house \
number of other small articles had also
disappeared. Then the grief stricken wom-
an remembered that Bristol had been MS
ing very early for q week or two previously
and going out without saying word, and
that he had also taken his dog away week
before. 1t was at once surmised that in his
mania Bristol had secretly arranged TO go
Off on a camping expedition.
This suspicion turned out correct. In a
short time he was located near Sparkhill,
Ny. He had horse and wagon and tent,
and the boys were having glorious time.
When found he was about TO seek another
camping ground, but he returned quietly
home with the friend who was sent after
him. The children were not aware there
was anything wrong with their father.
They hailed his suggestion for hunting
expedition with great glee, Bristol telling
Lnp La,~ haf- aNul1 mn gTanA the IA
tigue Of the trip. Bristol kissed his wife
quietly, as though nothing had happened,
on his return home The family was ct
first disposed TO believe that though he was
undoubtedly insane he would soon recover,
but he had not been at home more than
three or four days when he left again as
suddenly and mysteriously AS before. This
time he was speedily discovered, however,
to be at La Plume, Pa, a small place near
Scranton, where he has relatives, and he
was forthwith returned TO has home.
w. T. Kline, Of Westboro. Mo, at first
seemed to have disappeared on well known
/ lines. He ran the elevator in which his
younger brother had large sun Of money
invested. Not satisfied with the slow profits
of legitimate enterprise, he specialized in
grain and lost, and ran away TO escape the
disgrace. Two or three days afterward a
strange letter was received from an IN
known man, TO the effect that Kline was
in St. Louis and in almost penniless con
dition, and acting as if he were crazy or
had been drugged. Friends went 70 St
/ Louis To fad him, but failed in their
search. As he had several hundred dol
lars with him when he left Westboro, IL is
feared that he had been robbed and taken
his life in despair. Kline is 6 feet inches
tall, and weighs over 30 pounds He is Of
dark complexion, has dark curly hair and
walks lame owing TO an injury to his Left
ankle.

Nor was it resumed during that or any Of
the subsequent stays at Goodwood. OF the
prince, | may add that his royal highness
abstained from visiting Goodwood on the
year following the incident above de
scribed, but with that exception has been
there every year since.
The objection to baccarat is attributable
to the fact that it is not a game OF skill like
whist or ecarte, but a game of chance, ike
vingt-et-un, which it indeed greatly re-
sem bles. 1t Is exceedingly simple. The
stakes are made before the banker deals
the cards. The object of the game Is 70
hold such cards as shall together amount
70 the point of nine. The cards from one
to nine count each according to the num-
Der OF their pips. The court cards and
tens count as zero. If the banker Is nearer
nine than the players he rakes in their
stakes. II, on the contrary, the players
are nearer niue than himself, % is obliged
70 pay.
In cases of tie the coup is regarded as
null. Before the game begins the bank is
put mp AT auction, and goes, as matter OF
course, TO the person VINO Is willing TO risk
the largest amount OF money. The banker
seated in the middle deals two cards 70 the
player on his right, two cards &c the player
on his left and two cards to himself. The
punters or players seated to the right of
the banker win or lose by the cards dealt
30 that side, while those on the left of the
banker by the cards dealt on their side.
Each PLAYER holds the cards for his side
either on the right or left as long as he is

Deputy Burke who weighs 20s pounds,
while Shanahan is light and slim. started
off in pursuit. He fred several shots, but
the nimble prisoner scaled the fence on the
east side of Forty-if street unhurt, while
the pursuing deputy was tripped on the
rails and dislocated his shoulder.
Shanahan ran down Forty-fifth street and
jumped into waiting cab, which started
off with him at breakneck speed. The es-
cape was well planned. 1t is believed that
his sister, who kissed him lovingly on his
way to the Tombs after sentence, slipped a

days after his escape, but he was discharged
for lack Of evidence before the New York
