SOMETHING NEW IN POKER.

4 LooloO Beats Four Aces, but
Only Counts Once in an Even
ing.
1t was gambling saloon in Butte.
The tenderfoot from Chicago had taken
to the warpath, and announced his de-
termination OF relieving a few miners of
what spare change they happened to
have about them. Without much
trouble he found victim who was
willing to try a hand or two at poker.
Luck followed the stranger from the
start. and he won steadily, says the Chi
cago Mail. Finally he drew four aces.
and. after the stakes had been run up
to comfortable figure, he magnani
mously refused to bet further.
This Is downright robbery" he ex-
claimed, land l don't want to epd the
game here by bankrupting you. So
here gOes.' He threw down four aces
and reached for the money.
"Hold onp cried his antagonist, "I'Il
take care of the dust, if you please"
But hold four aces-see"
well, what of it? Pve got looloo."
"a what?"
"A looloo-three clubs and two dia-
monds."
The stranger was dazed. "a looloo."
he repeated. "Well, what is lOoloo,
anyway"
''Three clubs AMI two diamonds"
coolly replied the gambler. raking in
the stakes. II guess you aren't accus-
toned to our poker rules out here. See
there"
AS he spoke he jerked his thumb TO-
ward pasteboard card which orna-
mented the wall of the saloon. 1t read:
"A lOOlOO beats four aces"
The game proceeded, but it was plainly
evident that the unSophisticated yOuns
tiger hunter had something on his mind.
Within five minutes he suddenly Draced
up, his face was wreathed in smiles, and
he began betting once more with his
former vigor and recklessness. In fact,
he staked his last dollar Oh his hand.
Just at this juncture the darkeeper
stopped in the midst of his connection
Of a Manhattan cocktail and quietly
| hung up another card behind the bar
and above the dazzling array of glasses
and bottles.
The stranger threw down his card
with an exultant whoop. 'lt's my
time to howl just about nOw!" he cried
as he reached for the money. There's
lOoloo for yOu-three clubs and two
diamonds"
Tut, TUT exclaimed the miner.
REALLY, this is too bad. You evidently
don't understand our rules at all. You
don't mean to tell me you play poker
in such a fast and loose, slipshod way
down East, do you? Why, look at that
rule over there"
He pointed dire city over the head of
the busy barkeeper. The Chicagoan
read his doom in the handwriting Oh the
wall. 1t was BelshaZZar over again.
The bit of pastebOard bore this legend:
the lOOlOO can be played but once a
night"
The young man has not reached home
yet. but as the walking is said to be
pretty fair nowadays, he will be due in
Chicago about the middle of next week.

"Ehie" Allen, the Popular Man Be-

A great deal has been written about
the size of the diamonds worn by hotel
clerks, and very very little about the
business some of the men who wear
these diamonds and stand behind the
desks in the leading hotels are able to
divert to the hotel with which they are
attached. A great many men who spend
a great deal of time travelling stop with
the hotel clerks rather than with the
hotel. All proprietors realize the draw
ing powers of popular and agreeable
clerks, and in many cases are only too
willing to pay fancy salaries to secure
and retain the right men. ''Ehle" Allen.

ASSETS DWINDLED.
The Forrestal Assignee Finds Diff
ficulty in Securing Cash.

In the matter of the assignment of
Forrestal Bros. Judge Cornish has so
modified former order as to allow the
Germania bank to file release and par
ticlpate IN the distribution of assets.
The court regards the situation in this
case as being an unusual one. Wnen
the schedules were filed on Oct. II.
1890, the assets were fixed at S206, 701 .99,
and the liabilities sos, 667.54. 1t was
thought when the former order of the
court was made that the assignee would
declare dividend by Dec. Is, 1891. But
owing to a lack of information by the
assignee there was not more than $500
worth of assets converted into money by
Dec. Is last. Now it appears that not
more than $4,000 will be realized out of
assets placed on Oct. Is, 1890, at the sum
of 100000. The perplexing condition
of affairs and the way the estate turned
out, together with the inability of Pat
rick Keigher to give information as to
the estate, are deemed sufficient reasons
for modifying the order made Nov. 6,
1891, SD as to allow the German bank
to participate in the distribution.

THOSE WHO TEST TEA.
To Preserve a Delicate Taste
Sense They Allure High-Sea-
sOned Food

Sense They Allure Hish-Sea-
sOned Food.
Tea tasting is remunerative bust
ness, and it should be. for experts de-
vote their lives to the cultivation of
taste and smell. says the Irish Times.
in order 10 do this they deny themselves
m any luxuries. But few of them smoke,
as that habit has a tendency 10 blunt
their sense of taste. The same is
true of wine and liquor drinking,
and those who do permit them
selves at times to indulge in cigar or,
a glass of wine take only the very best
to be obtained. and then limit them
selves To very small quantities.
They are also careful about the sea-
soning of their food; too much red
pepper has a tendency to blunt the
sense of taste. and the tea tester who
wishes to make himself successful in
his business has his food much less
highly favored with red pepper or
spices than is exaeted by the club man
andthe epicure.
The testing of teas is usually done in
the morning, the tester preferring the
hours before noon for his work to those
later in the day. He himself can give
no logical reason for this except that he
finds his sense of taste more acute dur
ing the hours before noon, and cOnSe-
quently prefers those hours for his
work. When the test is to be made,
forty or fifty tiny cups are filled with
freshly breWed and unsweetened. The
tester sips from each cup, and can at
once tell the character, grade and line
of tea he tastes.
If the tea given him to taste is shade
below that usually to be expected from
the grade he can at once detect it, and
is relied upon by the importer to esti-
mate the difference in value between
such tea and the best tea of that grade.
He must also fix the value of all the tea
before him, even to the half and quarter
cent. 1t can thus be seen how very
finely his sense of taste is cultivated.
In the majority of instances the test
erS are a curious class. 1t has been said
that they make living by committing
slow suicide. 1t is we'll recognized
fact that the excessive and constant
drinking of tea is as dangerous to tine
physical system as the excessive use of
alcohol, and those who ought TO know
assert that the majority of the men en-
gagged in this method of earning liveli-
hood become so addicted to the stimula-
ton produced by the drinking of tea
IndC Iu6V are dS much Slaves W Tie
habit as is the Frenchman TO his alb
sinthe or the Chinaman to his opium.
Notwithstanding these disadvantages,
in every tea brokers' office there are ten
or a dozen boys who are being trained
to the business. One of the first things
that the apprentice is taughtis absolute
cleanliness. He must keep his person
clean in order to develop thoroughly the
sense of taste or smell necessary to sue
cess in the business he has chosen.
This sense is developed in him like the
sense of touch is developed in the blind
or the sense of sight in the deaf and
dumb.

CITY NOT LIABLE
For an Accident, the Result of a
Faulty Elevator.

OE OH tilC 1lcSulD VI d
Faulty Elevator.
Judge Kelly has Overruled the demur-
rer to the answer in the cause of Jennie
Snider against The City of st. Paul.
The suit was brought to recover damages
for the crushing of foot in a city hall
elevator. Judge Kelly reviews the case
at some length. He states that the
answer of the city sets up that the ele-
vator is not built on dangerous plan,
and that it also sets up the plan of con-
structiOn of the building and elevator.
The court says that the question has not
been reviewed by court of last resort,
and as it is one of Importance to the
municipality and people, he determined
TO state at length his reasons for over
ruling the demurrer to the answer. 1t
is held that the city is not liable for any
defect in the plan upon which the build
ing was constructed, because it was
planned and constructed by a COM
mission appointed by the district court,
under authority of law with which
the city has no special concern. The
determination of the plan of public
work is legislative and Quasi-judicial
act, about which there can be no in
Quiry. Numerous authorities in sup
port OF these two propositions were re
ceived by Judge Kelly, and he con-
ciudeS with the statement that the city
should not be held responsible for the
negligence of an independent agency
imposed on it by law for the purposes
of the general public and against which
it has not the authority to protect itself.
This decision is important, in that it
will be precedent in other cases that
may arise for damages on account of
injuries of persons about the city hall
and court house. The city was repre-
scented in the case by Assistant Corpo-
ration Attorney j. c. Michael, who also
conducted the recent case tried before
Judge Thayer. of the United States
circuit court. where it was held that
damages could not he recovered for the
death of man by falling from win
dow three years ago. That case, how
ever, was decided On different grounds.

A HARD WORKER.
The Habits and Peculiar Ways OF
Caleb Gushing.

Caleb Cushing.
Caleb Cushing's decisions, while a
Justice of the supreme court of Massa-
chusetts, were the admiration of the
bar: but lawyers wondered at hrs IA
miliarity with the reports, knowing that
he had been long out of active prac
tice.. A writer in The Green
Bag explains this familiarity by
the statement that Mr.. Cush-
ing, on being appointed to the
bench, prepared himself by reading IN
nineteen days the tifty-seven volumes
of Massachusetts reports. His naOit,
we are told, was to read every DOCK.
pamphlet or periodical that seemed
likely to crafty his intense thirst Tor
knowledge.
When Webster's Unabridged Die
tIonary appeared, he read it through,
word by word, and corrected some ms
takes. He sought information from every
source.
"He would go into the street and ask
information of the shabbiest negro. II III
that way he could learn what he wished
to know" said one who was associated
with him in Washington.
He once asked an acquaintance, In
whose company he happened to be.

after a check had been torn from
a check-book. The gentleman could
not inform him. A few days after ne
received a letter from Mr.. Gushing with
the single word "Stub." Trivial as the
0nestiOn seemed, he could not rest until
it was answered.

at the house Of his niece not long before
he died, and during the conversation ne

Mr.. Cushing excelled as linguist.

stated that, as our commissioner In

hard work TO take anything in
any but Il serious light. He has a son.
"Ehle" Allen, however, who is an in
veteTate Joker. and who frequently de-
cideS TO play a trick or two on the
good -natured colonel. Yesterday morn
ing this spirit seized him. and the result
was amusing TO all except the victim.
When the work of remodeling the
hotel commenced the old bar fixtures
were taken out and hauled up street,
where they were placed in a public
place with the sign For Sale" tackled
on them. The watchful eye OF "Ehle"
seized all this, and yesterday morning
he quietly told each man who dropped
into the lobby TO go TO his father and
ask him about the bar.
Offer him 80 cents fol it." he said to
one.
Make a bluff of a dollar" was told
another.
These instructions were carried out
TO the letter, much to the disgust of Col.
Allen, who. of course declined all these
offers. Finally man came along. who,
while he did not want the fixtures, was
willing 10 take them at the price Ehle
told him TO offer the colonel.
TELL him you want that bar, and will
give him s. for il" advised the joker.
The guests in the Hobbies were becom-
ing interested about this time, and when
the So man hailed the colonel, many of
them fairly rUared with laughter.
Il understand you have a bar TO SELL"
began the man.
Yes. and by Cd more than fifty
people have been here to see about il

'DO you want it?'
Yes, | will give s. for it."
well. take il" said Col. Allen. and
he breathed a sigh of relief, thinking,
that he would no longer be bothered.
But his relief was of short duration.
The buyer of the bar went over to tell
Ehle the result of his negotiations. and
was again told TO go back to Col. Allen
and insist that painting of john Law

the old bar, be thrown in for the IS.
This the man did. but Il moment after
wards he was sorry that he did so.

the colonel.

the colonel.
well, father. what have you been
doing with all these men this morning."
said the dapper Ehle, who came up at
this juncture.
They have all been after that old

away to get rid of them. l wonder if
