Faro With Diamond. and opais for Chips.


From the Detroit Free Press.
81 saw pretty stiff faro game once" said
the hotel clerk. 1T was in the Victoria Hotel,
Melbourne, Australia, and was between three
wealthy mine owners, who lad just come in
from a visit to their properties, and who used
diamonds and opals for chips.
1T was at the outset of my career and vas
only a bell boy then and detailed TO attend TO
the wants of the party.
Zone Of the players was an old California
gold hunter, who owned q diamond mine; the
other two were brothers and partners in the
richest opal mine in the country.
They had come In late in the afternoon, and
after a hearty dinner, had retired TO their
apartments, where they prepared for the game
by ordering up q box Of cigars and decantsr
of whisky.
Zone of the gentlemen produced what have
since learned was a faro box. and il was de-
cided that each one should be banker and DEAL
alternately for an hour at a time.
Things went along very quietly at hrst.
Each had plenty of money and luck ran even
until about midnight, when the younger Of the
brothers began to win steadily. Ii made no
difference whether he dealt or played, il ives
all the same, and by O'Clock he had won ah
of the money in sight
"Then it was that the Californian suggested
that deal. so there could be no advantage in
the box. After some little teaching I was In.
stalled behind the table and the game went on.
The younger brother Kept right on Winning
and presently the Californian took of his belt
and emptied out lot Of rough diamonds, and
the other brother followed suit with a bag fall
of opals- The gems were all choice, the picktnao
OF the dlggings, and many Of them were q
great value.
AT last, about O'Clock In the morning.
when I could hardly keep my eyes open, t6e
elder brother, who had lost all the gems he
had, spoke up and said Lets quit
81 guess not, said the Californian; NOT yss:
make a turn for this and he placed . huge
diamond on the king to win, saying; That
stone is worth $50, 900. Win or lose, ii al goes
against what have lost
"A moment later the king lost but before
the winner could take the stone the Cslifunisa
Drew a revolver and, grabbing everything in
sight, began to yell that he was being robbed.
II slid under the table, and before the broth
ers could move q couple Of night vatchmeA
ran in and caught them, while the C&liforuaaa
backed out of the room and escaped before
things could be explained
II heard sfterward that he went back 10 the
bush and go, away with about $50 900 in msnsy
and opals."

lam Helen. and my name
Is glory and a shame;
For my beauty was earth's crown.
And my sin shook cities down.
Obi the days, and OH the dances,
When was queen,
by the glamour Ut my giances
And the spleIdor Of my spleenl
Ny life was all roaances,
And no dull days between.
From the golden dais
Where j reigned alone,
As womans way IL,
descended TO a throne.
And my life, that lately
Leaped on a mountain stream,
Now crept still and stately

He came:
In his eyes was name;
And new desire,
Unknown by name,
The godheAd dire
No god can tame,
Took an my frame
With nre.
The years, the ten SWIM years, are ned;
Troy Is fall'n, and on my head
Lies the guilt Her princes dead
Showing each mis- bleeding wound.
No word speaking.

Juvenile Poema
By N. r. II.

The following little poems are from the pei
OF Washington girl only nine years Of age
exactly as she produced them. She is much
given to versification. and evinces remarkabl,
power Of Imagination and reflection:
Evening.
There is an owl peeping out of his hollow,
Where he has been all day at rest.
There is q bat and there is swallow,
Flying home to his mate In his nest.
Where do the butterflies sleep, wonder9
should think they get all wet with dew.
othey sleep in the flowers, or under
Their wings as the brides do!
Oh! should like to be flower,
And lodge pretty fairies in my bell.
I'd keep them safe from every shower,
And give them some honey as well.

The fourth illustration represents hat
trimmed very much in the same way, only in
this case the ribbon forms bow and twist on
the crown. You also see lace quilted around a
huge chrysanthemum. the flower being fiat on
top and serving for the crown Transparent
black lace bonnets are also among the novel
ties. the bows of ribbon with which they are
trimmed being covered with lace. 1t is safe to
say that the small. oblong, scoop-shaped toque
will have vogue the coming season. and that
they will quite push aside the plaque shape of
the winter.

AT INFORMAL AFTERNOON TEAS.
During Lent informal afternoon teas will
be the only permissible sort Of receptions and
great pains will be taken to make them striking
and original, especially in the matter Of the
costumes worn by those receiving. These will
be infinite in variety and of great artistic
beauty. the effect striven for being always as
picturesque as possible. 1t requires more than
. cup of tea and q vanilla wafer to decoy men
away from their clubs at o'clock, hence these
efforts to create tee gowns OF real artistic value.

most charming reproductions of old world
quaintness and picturesqueness. One OF these
tea gowns has a deep collarette OF Venetian

over the left shoulder and. mingliny with the
Vatican pleat, it falls with exquisite effect
nearly to the bottom of the gown.
THE rAnoR-MApE DRESS.
A word anent the tailor made before closing.
We have been 80 accustomed to accept the
diction of English fashionables as to the tailor
made that we are almost inclined to resent the
interferences of the French modistes who in
sist upon destroying its piainness by laying on
rich and intricate embroidery, but it is quite
safe TO assume that the tailor-made will be the
favorite garment for early spring when the
flowers bloom mostly in the poetry of tine
magazines. The patrol jacket will be a favorite
form, opening over a tisht-ftting and rather
gay vest of petunia cloth, and the skirt draper
les will be slightly caught up on one side to show
an underskirt OF the same shade. No buttons
must be used on the vest, but in their stead
small silver studs, with the same on the cuffs,
reaching half way to the elbow. These street
gowns will AS q general thing be in two shades.

DIFFERENT DESIGN.
different design was picked out and bright
gold colorsd silk used. Much coarser cenvas
was also employed to give the holder treat
ment which the longer pile Of the plush sug-
gesfed. Two Of the figures were put In . line
across the narrow piece Of plush and when the
embroidery was done it was made up into loose
cushions and tied on a black wicker chair with
wide ribbons Of changeable green and gold
with q seeding of tiny dots ali over it-one of
those charming ribbons which are seen in the
shops now and which are almost Irresistible in
their prettiness. though one does not always

Such good effects being gotten with
the use Of these handsome materials
and . piece of heavy linen being in the
collection with half a dozen different
shades of fax thread, the cover of sofa pillow
was thought OF. Here the method used differed
little from the others. A rose with loaf was
the pattern, but it was not at all suggestive of
a real one any more than the treatment of it.

and the mechanical cross-stitching, which
always was fascinating in its way, was a pleas

of today. Simple borders might be used as

Two Ballads.

Modest little violets,
Hiding at our feet,
Fill the air with fragrance
Wonderfully sweet
Mid the ferns and moses,
Bright with morning dew,
Grow these little violets
In robes of velvet blue.
Violets are lovely,
Tho SO very small,
Springing, blooming, hiding
In the grasses tall
But they're not SO lovely
As the ones see,
Smiling from thy dear eyes,
Sweetest love, on me.
Hawthorn buds are beautiful
just before they blow,
Soft and very delicate
AS the driven snow.
Baby buds all wrapped in green
In the thorny bush are seen.
Mid life's thorny tangle.-
Mid life's noisy din,
Calm and ever peaceful
Lies the heart within:
But thine is far more pure than snow
Or hawthorn buds before they blow.

CHINESE MAF1AS.
An Organization OF Assassins That the
Law Is Powcr.css to Suppress.

Law Is Powcr,css to Suppress.
There is quite q striking analogy be
tween the Italian Malta, as it is com
monty understood, and the Chinese

murderers and highbinders in this city,
says the San Francisco Chronicle. The
chief point of difference is that the sub
divisions of the Malta are not at con-
slant war with each other, while the
Tongs have deadly feuds continually on
foot, and generally select their victims
from among their rivals
The question of these organizations
of assassins in the heart of civilized
community like ours has grown to be q
serious one. We know, in general
way that each Tong is bound together
by oaths which its members dare not
break; that its purpose is crime of the
deepest dye; that it shelters its, mem
bers by every artifce which Chinese
cunning can devise, and that it sets at
defiance the laws of the land but here
our knowledge on the subject ends. We
do not know the motives which under
lie the frequent murders, nor do we
seem to. know how to break up these
longs or put an end to their career of
crime.
The suggestion has been made, and it
is worth considering, that an Indictment
for criminal conspiracy would lie
against an entire Tong or society whose
members were known or believed to be
guilty of murder. So far as we can
know anything about the secret work
ings of these organizations there is
ample reason to believe that the MUIR
ders are committed after full discussion
and the murderer selected by his So
ciety and instructed as to how and
when he shall do his deadly work. If
this be true there is certainly Grim
inal conspiracy preceding every one of
these Highlander murders, and the
whole society is liable to Indictment
Such wholesale attack upon these
secret societies would do much to breal. |
them up. AS it is now they care very
little if one of their number happens to |
fall into the clutches of the law. They |
have plenty of assassins left, and one
more or less makes no difference to the |
Tong. If, however, the whole Tong
were indicted the Chinese would be-
lieve that the officers of the law were
in earnest and it would work q change
in their system of getting rid of those
who were inimical to them.
