GREAT POKER PLAYING.

Games Among Pacific Slope Millionairea
-Ralston's Pair of Tens.
A recently reported poker scandal, in
volving members of San Francisco's
swell Pacific Union club, recalls an in
cident of the notorious Sarah Althea
Hill-Sharon divorce trial.
The late Judge Terry, who was killed
by Justice Fields body guard, Nagle,
and during the trial endeavored to have
produced in court, in evidence of Sena-
tor Sharon's maintenance of the plain
tiff, the millionaire's check stubs. The
effort failed, chiefly because of the
showing made by the defendant that
the checks would throw very little
light on the subject This was after

on's attorney. He said that nine-tenths
of the private checks drawn by Sharon
were payable to the order of Cash"
and that neither checks nor stubs indi-

of "Cash." Senator Sharon's private
checks his attorney said, though great
in number and amounts, were
nearly all in settlement of poker ac-
counts Not that Sharon lost at the
great American game. He won.
His total winnings in the Pacific club
game were said to have been more than
a million dollars. There was a regular
clearing house proceeding after each
game, each player settling with the
others by checks, and so it might hap
pen that Sharon would draw half a
dozen checks after game in which he
won. He played great game of poker
great in kind and size-but his great
wealth gave him no advantage, for his
usual antagonists were multi-nillion-
aires-Banl1er Ralston, Senator Jones
and Stewart, of Nevada, Flood of the
Bonanza firm, and that set
In the story of the recent Pacific
Union scandal, it was recalled that
Ralston won over 5000, 900 one night on
a pair of tens. The exact story of that
game was told by Gen. Barnes after the

A Fellow Midshipman Administered tho
CastigatiOn.
If the duke of York ever comes to the
throne of England his subjects will at
least have the satisfaction of knowing
that he has practical knowledge, to
his cost, may add, of the meaning of
.he good, old-fashioned word, spank
ing, writes Marquise de 'Fontenoy.
When serving as midshipman he de-
clined one night to turn out, as he
should have done, to go on watch. His
fellow MILDLY, whom he was desig-
mated to relieve, and who wanted to
turn in, endeavored to arouse the
prince.
The latter, after receivi ng two or
three good shalSings, suddenly opened
his eyes, swore big oath, and1 let
drive his fist at his fellow-middy's right
eye. The young fe How made no re-
sponse, but returned to his post, re-
sumed his watch and thus did duty for
the prince.
But on the following day he stated
his case and showed his eye to his com

Accordingly the royal culprit was
seized by four of the seniors and held
face downward on a table, while the
midshipman with the disfgured optic,
his sleeves rolled up to his elbows car
ried out the sentence of the midship-

When the prince was released he was
furious with rage and threatened
vengeance, but in day or two he
thought better of it and came 70 his
messmate who had spanked him and
apologized for the blow which he had

The midshipman accepted his Gpol-
ogy and rendered his own in return for
the spanking which he had admins

During the remain der of the cruise
the prince put on no airs, but was
as agreeable and charming young
fellow as could be. There is no doubt

The Wooster street bird fancfer who
raises canaries for fun and makes shoe
makers tools for living, has just re-
ceived two of these birds from friend
upon his solemn promise that they shall
never see the inside Of a professional
bird fancier's shop. The Belgian canary
has no great reputation or popularity
in this country, though he is the favor

Glasgow and Belfast, cities where the
craze for Gagged birds possesses all sorts
of people, and folks who have only

times bursts the blood vessels OF his
throat in his musical love-malSing, and
he and his wife bring up four families
year. The Belgian is very different
sort of bird. He is the dude of the
canary family. His color is anything
from golden yellow, with. greenish-
brown touches, to pale tint that is al
most white. The palest birds are liable
to disease and seldom are strong. The
largest Belgians measure eight inches,
| and the most slender can be passed
through large finger ring. 1t is the
dude-lilSe languor and elegance of the

ton, for he is hardly so good singer
as some of his palmer fellows, and he
and his wife have highly improper
notions as to parental duty. They
usually bring up two families year.

neglect their offspring after they are
hatched, and the young are plucked to
make nest for the next young brood,
if no one interferes to prevent the out
rage.
The Belgian is the final product of
canary civilization, and there are signs
that he is the product of decaying
civilization. His small family and
weak parental instinct bear out Mr..
Darwin's notions as to the result of get
ting too far from the parent stern, and
generally it is found that the canaries
which approach most nearly in physi-
cal aspect their ancestors of the wilds
are the soundest and strongest birds.
This may account for the greater popu-
larity of the plain little German canary
in this country. At the same time, the

RUNNING GIRLS.
Some Observations that Apply Particularly

Some Observations that Apply Particularly
to the Maidens of Washington State.
1t used to be said that there were two
things which a woman could not do;
one was to run, the other to throw a
stone. Up to the last century she had
not learned to do the latter feat, but at
the former she was an adept. Those
who doubt may be convinced if some
wet morning they will take street car
and observe the young ladies come
down the cross streets just second or
two later than they intended to be. On
these occasions they will be tolerably
sure to see some o. the prettiest sprint
ing imaginable--straight, clean step
ping, with head well up, shoulders we'll
back, and never a trace of waddle. The
observer feels that the fair creature is
dressed in shoes and garments that do
not pinch, and when she takes her seat
in the car, breathing as gently as a
baby, he is apt, in his years number a
couple of score or more, to sigh inward
ly for the time when he could run q
block or a dozen of them and have
breath enough left TO keep him from
gasping The last generation of girls
could not run. They were told it was
hoydenish and tomboyish and every
thing else to do So They were for
bidden by all the canon3 of good
behavior and propriety to go faster
than walk, like team crossing q
count y bridge. If by any misehance
it became absolutely necessary for them
to run the way they went at it was cal
culated to make a man weep. They
wriggled, they waddled they stepped
on the side of their feet, they held their
heads down to hide t. cir blushes, and
they puifed like porpoises when they
had gone half dozen yards. There
were few exceptions, OF course, but
now the exceptions are the other way.
Croquet was the first step toward
emancipation and tennis was the con-
summation of it. Fenimore Cooper tells
