OUT AGAINST GAMBLING.
"A BOLD LECTURE FROM THE ENGLISH
WESLEYAN CONFERENCE.

Prayers for the Conversion OF the Prince
OF wales-Gamblers Expelled From
spain-A New Monte Carlo May Be Es-
tabIished in That Country.
rBY CABLE TO THE D1sPArCH1
LONDON, Aug. 1.-The WESLEYAN Con-
ference sitting at Nottingham spent a full
hour on Thursday praying for the conversion
Of the Prince of Wales and other high
placed gamblers and card players Next
DAY it solemnly decided that an archery
tournament is of the form of gambling in
which no good Wesleyans should join.
Newspapers which report the sayings and
doings of these good folk have throughout
the week devoted much space to the &C.
counts of Tracing at Goodwood and the heavy
betting connected therewith,. under the
direct personal patronage of the Prince of
Wales, who is apparently past praying for
IN this matter.
The same newspapers have fallen with
eyes and mouth wide open into a trap
set for them by the administration at
Monte Carlo. Business being dull, it be-
came necessary to start another boom, and
story was invented about an Englishman
who has this week won $50, 900 at roulette,
and, more wonderful still, has sent the
money to bankers in London. The newspa-
pers here have published the story in full,
with the unusual wealth of headlines, and
the expected rush for Monte Carlo has
already commenced
It will probably be swollen BY big
crowd Of disguised Spaniards, who have
just been deprived Of the accustomed facili-
ties for gambling at San Sebastian, the
most fashionable watering place in Spain,
by order of the Minister of Justice
All professional gamblers are to be
expelled from the city, and gambling at the
Casino and cafes is to be suppressed. The
order is really due to the initiative of
Queen Regent Christiana, who is staying at
San Sebastian with little King Alfonso, and
Spaniards of all ranks are furious at her
action. They attribute it to her cold Aus
trian blood, and sarcastically suggest that
sha may as well try her hand next at
abolishing another national pastime-bun
fighting.
There is wild talk of establishing great
gambling establishment on the frontier at
Fuenterrabia, but nothing tangible will
come of it, and it Isl pretty certain that
Monte Carlo will secure the patronage of
most of those who will not be allowed to
lose their money at San Sebastian.

from wound given him by Ferdinand But
Ter, neighbor, on the evening of the 28th.

ing the latter's invalid wife. They quarrelled
over galvanic battery, when Butler
struck Wilson on the head with a

the skull and into the brain. Wilson after
receiving the wound, went into his house
and secured surgeons knife, returning to

Marshal Bennett found Wilson with the
knife sticking in the fence by him
handy for use, and heard him threaten
to kill Butler when he came that
way. Bennett placed Wilson under ar
rest and kept him that night in the Gala

found unconscious, with one side paralYzed.
Efforts were vainly made to arouse him,
and he died early this morning. A post
mortem examination showed that the grass
hook had penetrated the brain and severed
several blood vessels

with his first. There were no witnesses to
the fight. DIR. Wilson's remains were taken
to Slater, Mo-, this morning by his relatives
for interment. DR.. Wilson was one of the
leading physicians of this place and son
of DR.. B. E. Wilson, ST., Chief Surgeon of

NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J., Aug. Mrs.
Mary Paul, who has until recently lived
with her daughter and son-in-law, Captain

claims to have been instantly cured OF
cancer in the breast by the power of prayer.
She had been sufferer from cancer for
about ten years, and had undergone several
operations without any permanent relief.
Now she is hale and hearty woman.
The circumstances are related by her
daughter, Mrs. johnson, as follows: sTt
all happened on the morning of June 21.
Mother was taking part in family service at
breakfast, and suddenly began to pray very
fervently and asked the Lord to heal her
body of the disease and pains from which
she suffered. Then she became conscious
that she was regaining her natural health
and strength. Jumping up and clasping
her hands she exclaimed: Thank God, I
am healedp
'She then took her two bottles of medi-
cine and hurled them through the window
into the yard. Examination showed that
the dreadful cancer was healed"

A Big Piece of Work Done by Porch
Climber Thieves in st. Louis.
ST. LOUIS, Aug. 1-One of the boldest
robberies Of the year was reported to the
police by Rena Eliza, the keeper of Chest
nut street resort About 8 o'clock in the
afternoon she took her diamonds out of a
casket and commenced to make preparations
to dress in second-story front room. The
ringing Of the supper bell called
the woman away. An hour later,
when she returned, at the door
leading to porch was found diamond
bracelet She picked it up and fastened
into her room. All the other jewelry was
missing, together with S10O which had been
hidden in a dresser drawer The missing
jewelry consists of several diamond rings,
several bracelets, necklace and breast
pin, all valued at 81, 500.
When the detectives got to work on the
case they came to the conclusion that the
thieves had climbed from the porch of an
adjoining house to the porch of Rena's
house over a plank, and had forced open
several doors to get into her room. There
is no clew as to the identity of the thieves.

A BIG RUBBER CORNER.
Baron de Gondoviz Now Has the Worlds
Supply Within His Grasp.


Supply Within His Grasp.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.1
NEW YORK, Aug. Barron de Condo
viz, the "Rubber King of PARA" has Just
made deal by which he expects the SIC, 00o,-
900 syndicate, of which he is the head, will be
able to control the available supply of crude
rubber in the market. The announcement
of the successful termination of the negotia-
tions with the English holders Of rubber
was made in brief dispatch from London.
The Baron de Gondoviz has had romantic
history, and it is only after struggle of
quarter Of century that he has
been able to obtain control Of
the rubber supply Of the world, which is
estimated at $500 tons Half of this is
stored in New York and London, and the
rest at Para American manufacturers are
said to have stock large enough to last
them through summer.
Without the help Of the English capital
lists de Gondovez could not expect to cor
ner the supplies. About six weeks ago he
passed through New York on his way from
Para to London. He said at the time that
he was going merely for pleasure, and
might incidentally do little business"
The 'little business" is made apparent by
the deal which he has just made through
London bankers and Martinhurst & Co., of
Liverpool, importers Of rubber. 1t is esti-
mated that it will take $25, 600, 900 to con-
troll the next seasons crop.

HOLLOW ENTHUSIASM
That Is the Character of the Russian Article
Toward the French.

Toward the french.
rBY GABLE TO THE DIsPATcH.l
LONDON, Aug. 1.-According to semi
official descriptions and dispatches pub
ished in the French newspapers, Russian
enthusiasm for France has been unbounded,
and the hearts of the two nations now beat
as one. But reports from impartial
and Unconditional observers fully bear
out the statements as to the arti-
fetal character of the enthusiasm,
so far as the Russian people are concerned,
made in this correspondence a week ago.
The St. Petersburg correspondent of the
Times, for instance, telegraphs to-day: "On
the field of Mars, on the occasion of the
visit there of some 200 French sailors, Pre-
feot of Police Groesser and his officers sta
toned in various parts, ordered the popu-
lace to shout and hurrah, SO unused is the
Moujik to spontaneous utterance Of emo
tions."
The announcement that the feet is to visit
England, and to be feted on scale almost
equal to the Russian, momentarily discon-
certed the French Chauvinigts, but they
quickly found consolation in the reflection
that such visit must indicate that England
has not joined the Triple Alliance, and that
she may be persuaded to throw in her lot
with Russia and France.

SAVED BY AMERICANS.
European Resorts Would Be Desolate but
for the Yankee Tourists.
rPy oARrF To THE DrsPaTCu

rBY CABLE TO THE pIsPAToH.J
LONDON, Aug. 1.-The Continental hotel
keepers are reporting season of disaster.
1t is many years since business has been so
bad, and thev are at loss to explain ii.
With the exception of Bayreuth, where the
spiri; of Wagner is triumphant, and AK
les Bains, where America reigns, the Con-
tinental watering places are desolate. The
fact of the matter is, the whole social and
financial system of Europe is still benumbed
by the wreck Of the Earrings There is no
line of business that has yet recovered from
it, and it viii be long time yet before
confidence is completely restored.
In Germany the hotel keepers say that if
1t were not for the Americans they would
be compelled to close up. As a matter of
fact, Americans are the one brilliant ex-
ception. There are not less than 100000 of
them scattered about here, and they are
spending more money than they were ever
known to spend before. This is especially
true of Paris, where shopkeepers have
reaped golden harvest The manager of
the Bon Marche reports that their sales
to Americans are a third larger than last
summer, which was the largest they had
had. Their force of English-speaking clerks
was large, but wholly inadequate.

HEB THROAT WAS CUT.
AWFUL DEATH OF A YOUNG And

Her Dying Scream Brought Assistance, but
There Was No Apparent Explanation
Police Puzzled - An Autopsy Showed
She Had Fallen on q Window.
rBY CABLE TO THE DIsPATcH.1
LONDON, Aug. L-What promised 'tobe
one of the most complex murder mysteries
of Paris has been solved this week. At 10
o'clock Monday morning Lady living in
Rue Gaudot de Mauroy, street which rms
into the Boulevards near the Madeleine,
was startled to hear a loud shrek in the
Lodge Rushing into the room she found
the concierge, Madame Reccevault,
PROSTATE on the floor, the blood
pouring from fearful, clean
cut cash that reached from the right ear to
the chin. She died in a few moments with
out being able to articulste word as to the
cause of her injuries The police who were
called in could find absolutely no clew to
the perpetrator of the deed, and the young
and pretty woman, Nine. Reccevau1t, had
never given cause for the slightest breath
of scandal and was devoted to her husband,
who, at the hour of the tragedy, was away
at his work
might have committed the crime to leave
e-AS Iooh', Aoi eho Aouy is0 otoSoNSAco
the dying concierge rushed into the apart
ment through the only door, and met no
one, while the only chance for the murderer
to have effected an escape would have been
through this same door. This he could not
have done without observation, for the
discoverer of the tragedy reached the room
only few seconds after the dying woman's
scream was heard There was ladder up
to window, but the window was closed and
only one pane of glass was broken the
aperture thus made not being more than
large enough for the egress Of a cat. The
theory of suicide was disposed of by the
circumstances that there was no weapon in
the room with which tho deed could have
been committed.
The police were completely puzzled till
physician made an autopsy on the body.
He found several bits of glass in the wound
in the throat, and then the tragedy was ex-
plaind. Madame Reccevault had been
cleaning a window on top of ladder.
She had obviously fallen and struck her
neck against the window. which had broken
and the glass cut her throat.
