The only solution of the present situa-
iion that Holman SAW, he said, was either
10 pass his resolution or to compromise on
some basis not yet suggested. The judge
said he was prepared TO stay here and fight
the Worlds fair appropriation as long as
any of its friends are here to fight for it,
The opponents of the W orld's fair clause
in the sundry civil bill are apparently I'm
concerned over the matter and say that
they have the advantage in the contes6 now
pending, and are confident of ultimately
attaining the goa. for which they are
striving.
Backed by Their Constituents
They have not weakened in their resolve
to beat the S5,0C0,Coo appropriation, but
on the contrary they have received vigor
to enter the fight today by reason of the
encouraging ulica;lonS from the
people in their respective districts who
have informed them that they approve of
the course they have taken and desire it
continued. The opponents have the one
proposition to submit to their adversaries:
That the appropriation be stricken from
the sundry civil bill and vote be taken
on it as bill at the beginning of the next
session.
Will Take Their Medicine if Beaten.
II the worlds fair followers win on that
cote the opponents say they Will take
their medicine and will not make wry

Poker Player Who Got Ratified and
Let Four Aces Win,

A Poker Player Who Got Ratified and
Let Four Aces Win. g.
AS Over a game of 'sdraw," where a
a Minneapolis Tribune man was
spectator the other night, a man told
a story which caps the climax. He
had lost q big pot on an invincible,
and the other fellow didn't have gun,
either. It occurred in this way, as he
told it: "You see," said he, "I was a
young fellow who got tangled up in
poker with a lot of boys who could
,'nipulate the cards and I knew it,
but | relied on my luck to pull me
out even in the end. At last my time
came. One OF the best OF the sharks
was dealing in a five-handed game,
and it was my age AS picked up
his hand alter the cards had been
dealt I discovered that l had he
king, queen, jack, ten and nine of dia-
monds-a straight flush. The three
men behind me passed out in success
sion, and | said to myself, CHATS
just my luck" But the dealer stayed
and of course raised him.
He saw my raise and ask
ed me how many cards wanted. I
told him to help himself" and as he
discarded three cards, I argued that
he had two aces, and mentally hoped
that he'd get the other two, so Icould
paralyze him. After he had skinned
his hand'the betting began, and it
continued until my money was all in,
and there was of necessity call. I
asked him what he had and hereplied,
Four aces, the hand which had giy-
en- him credit for and which my hand
beat. knew had the winning hand,
but somehow or another l said it's
good and threw my hand to the deck.
1t touched the 'deadwood' before re-
called my scattered senses, and of
course was q foul.
II turned it over and showed him
what had, but he took the pot. 1t
was the first time on record that q
straight flush was ever beaten by four
aces without gun. TWAS simply be-
cause for second / got ratified. l
have never held straight flush since,
and never expect to. The man who
doesn't know how to treat 'em right
when they come along doesn't deserve
to get 'em.''
