BiCCARl

The baccarat scandal now on exhibi-
which the Prince of Wales is a central
figure, naturally provokes the inquiry,
"NNhat is baccarat?" The TRIBUNE staff
knows nothing about cards, but it learns
from that sedate old ~journal-the Pho
ncer Press-that baccarat is a game in
which one of the players is banker and
also dealer of cards. For instance, there
may be several players-to explain we
will say a half-dozen. The dealer places
a pile of money, or checks, or counters
representing money before him. Before
he deals the cards each player must
make his wager, which may be all the
way. say. from 81 to SO. The meaning
of the wager is that the value of the
better's hand is greater than that of the
dealer. The betters each has his bet
before him; the dealer gives each two
cards, taking two himself. The value of
each hand is readily ~ascertained. The
player who has a higher hand than the
dealer is paid the amount of his stakes
by the dealer, who is also banker. If his
hand is of less value than the dealers
the latter rakes in the stakes.
Sir William Gordon Cummings was
caught cheating in the game. The
Prince of Wales was the dealer and
banker. Sir Williams crime consisted of
increasing his stakes by adding a coun-
ter. concealed in his hand. to his stakes
when he saw he had the best cards. 1t
amounted to robbing the future king of
England. The matter was hushed up at
the time, but the charge of cheating At
the game was made against the squire
by n of the players. He became an
cry at the charge and instituted a suit
for SANDER against the party. Hence
the sensational trial now going on. The
whole matter from beginning to end may
best be described by the word "nae'
as ii drags down high anne to tre .oo,
level of cheats and swindlers. II only
apology the TRIBUNE offers fCr .el-rring
to the matter at this length is that as a
matter of news it is a part of the duty Of
the newspaper Of the day to explain it to
the comprehension of the reader, for all
are not baccarat players, and thank God
they arc not.

DECLARED OFF.

1t is a matter of regret to the true
lovers of horsetiesh generally, in Mon
tana, and the sporting fraternity partic-
ularly, that the Anaconda races set for
July 18th and to continue several days,
are declared off. The cause which i'm
PEELED the directors of the local association
to make the announcement is traceable
to the shut down of the great works at
that place. 1t is great disappointment
to the horsemen of the state who have
spent much time in training their ami
mails for the event. This may be better
measured when it is known that the rae
ing was to cover thirteen days, and that
the purses to be hung up would aggre-
gate $4,000. The directors, how
ever, are blameless in the matter.
The shut down and consequent dull
times in that city were matters beyond
their power to control or to alleviate,
therefore they were compelled to accept
the situation forced upon them.
The racing season will now open at
Butte the Both of next mouth with a
twelve days programme, to be followed
by seven days in Helena and three days
in this city, twenty-five days in all. This
still leaves ample inducements to horse
men, and as liberal purses are offered all
along the line, the opportunities are good
for flyers to make a "killin." Large
fields of horses containing some of the
best blood in the country will grace each
event.

WILL CELEBRATE.

Great Falls will celebrate on the
Fourth. This is settled. At the citi-
zens' meeting, held last evening, commit
tees were appointed to set the proper
machinery in motion and inaugurate all
the preliminary proceedings to have a
grand Fourth of July demonstrations
demonstration worthy of the public-spir-
tied, enterprising citizens of Great Falls
and commensurate with it's importance
as the metropolis of northern Montana.
As the ~wide-awake, energetic people of
this city never do anything by halves,
and as the arrangements for the demon
s~tration are placed in the hands of men
who will spare neither labor nor expense
to make it a successful one, our patriotic
near and distant neighbors who may
visit the city on that day will not be dis
appointed in their most sanguine expec-
~tations. The latch strings of the gates
of the city will hang on the outside more
t%emptingly than ever on that day and all
are invited to come in and join in its fes-
t~ivities.

WOOL AND THE SEASON.

The wool season at Great Falls is now
open, the first of this years clip in this
section having arrived a day or two
ago and been stored in the roomy ware
house in this city. In this connection it
may be said that Montana never pro-
duced a better clip than is now being
placed upoL the market. The staple is
longer, cleaner and brighter than in pre-
ceding years. These are the results of
a most favorable winter, during which
the fleece continued to grow; of early
rains and luxuriant grasses keeping
down dust and dirt, and of the %uninter-
rupted, thriving condition of the sheep.
Therefore in quantity and quality the
seasons wool output is unprecedently
large and excellent.
Buyers and representatives, of eastern
commission houses are hocking into the
state, and soon every wool purchasing
firm of Montana iieeces will have its rep
rcsentative upon the ground. The TRIB-
M has not yet learned of any offers
made by buyers or sellers. The former
do not appear TO have yet settled upon
any line of prices, doubtless waiting I'M
til reports of the seasons clip through
out the wool growing states in the union
shall be received at headquarters and
values estimated thereon, while the lat
ter are watching the markets and hold
ing for the long locked for advance in
the price OF the staple.
Great Falls is now the headquarters
for buyers of northern Montana wool.
The railroad facilities for reaching the
market here, the immense outputs of the
staple from the surrounding country
tributary to the place, the vast storage
capacity Of its wool warehouses and the
means for transportation of purchases
being always at hand, make this city the
most advantageous point in the state for
buyers. Sellers would do well to bear
these facts in mind and govern them
selves accordingly.

FRENCH RETALIATION.

In a we'll written article under the
caption ''France and Hogs the Omaha
World-Herald explains how Mckinley
ism is made to work both ways. After
assuming there is no fear of a failure of
the French hog crop from the fact that
the chamber of deputies recently in
creased the tariff on imported pork from
So to II francs. it adds: "NVhen the
chamber recently reduced the tariff on
breadstuffs there were certain top notch
protection advocates in this country who
derided the crop-failure plea as a subter-
fuge, and boldly ascribed the reduction
to the direct influence of our Mckinley
law.
"Just how McKinleyism could possibly
compel France to open her markets to
hogs these defenders of an indefensible
law did not attempt to explain. McKin-
leyism did it, they declared, and life was
too brief to warrant a description of how
he did it. If a tidal wave should arise
and demolish the grain crops of Russia
and Hungary, these same star-spangled
optimists would doubtless perceive the
fine hand of McKinleyism at the bottom
of the sea. 1t will be interesting to
watch the efforts of the McKinleyites to
make the increased French duty on
American pork compatible with their
theory as to the grain tariff. To the av-
erage student of political economy
Frances latest action looks like r%etalia,
ton in kind against our government
But the average McKinleyite seldom al
lows the laws of economics to enter his
calculations or shape his opinions

IT stands one in hand to know by
whom they are married nowadays. A
few days ago a Dillon notary public
joined two willing hearts in the bonds of
matrimony. The couple were afterwards
married by a legally authorized person

ly an Ohio couple were married by a re-
tired minister of the gospel, and now the
legality of that marriage is questioned.
Moral: Look to the quality of the mar

As a measure of prudence men who
visit Chicago should first obtain a photo
graph of Sweinfurth, the Rockford "mes-
siah." If they discover they bear the
least resemblance to him they may find
it to their interest to disguise it in some
way or they may experience quite as
rough usage at the hands of a Chicago
mob as did Mr.. A. Mccartney of Kansas
City day before yesterday. This gentle
man in going to the depot with his two
daughters was mistaken for Sweinfurth
and the young ladies for new recruits for
his Rockford "hcaven,"an was viciously
attacked by a mob. Mccartney owes
his present sound condition of body and

could be made and heard. 1t is danger
