SENATOR woLCOTT's HIGH PLAY.
How He Came to Acquire the Title Of
"The Plunger of Colorado"
Chicago Herald.


Senator Wolcott, of Colorado, used to be
known as pretty stiff poker player, al
though he does not play now. He is too
busy with legislative matters to devote any
time 70 frivolities of this kind. His most
notable feat was years ago when he ac-
quired the title of THE Piunger of Colo
RADIO" This was done during brief stay
at Long Branch. Mr. Wolcott. who was
then practising law in Denver, had gone
East to attend the races. He had taken
with him $4,000, made some bold dashes,
and at the last heat was the winner of
cool $4,000. Naturally he felt little re-
freshed. Out in his country miners some
times win and lose fortunes in q day. Mr..
Nolcott felt somewhat inviCorated and
he went with couple of Colorado friends
To dinner. Along in the evening they
concluded TO try little plunginr at Phil
Days. The game began at s O'Clock. and
Mr.. Wolcott by special request was per-
United TO increase the limit 20 81, 900 on q
single card. The play varied At one
time the Colorado man was about 50. 900
ahead. but he said he felt like winning all
the stars IN the Sky, and the game pro-
ceeded. His pile of ivory chips, worth
about 500 apiece, gradually grew smaller,
but he had his ''plunginy clothes on " az
they say out West. and had only begun TO
tight the tiger. Finally there was about
$4,000 10 his credit; but luck turned
toward the house. and in two hours Wol-
colt arose, stretched himself end asked for

check on n Long Branch bank for 81. 600
After this little announcement he and
| his friends went across 10 John Dalv's
den. 1t vas their hope 10 break the bank.
They took late supper and then began
pulling the fur from the tiger. They
played till O'Clock. When Mr.. Wolcott
began the game he had $4,000 in his vest

serted him, and when he called for a

The Uses OF Honey.


The extensive uses of sugar on fruit is
not as bad as the cake mania that RACES in
so many kitchens The fruit acids largely
neutralize the inNscriminate and iniu-
dicious use OF sugar. 1t is no serious
thing to eat considerable saccharine food
in pure state, but not in the form
of pure refined sugar. If eaten and taken
in the form of honey it at once becomes
valuable medicine and food. Instead of
having it given us in this form in a mix
ture with bulk foods, IS III the cane and
beet, We have it mingled with fruit Juices
eNuded from flowers highly charged
with medicinal properties in the
alchemy OF nature and the apothecary of
the beehive. The advantages of honey as
q mediciee or food are too extensive to he
considered at length here. Honey taken
as food becomes a powerful medicine to
the sUgar-fed and half-diseased, and MANY
must begin on small quantities and ac-
qulre an appetite for it. Foul air,
improper ventilation, coal gases, to-
gether with the sudden chang &c and
exposure of lungs and throat 10 zero
weather or worse in a moment, is the
source of no end OF throat and bronchial
troubles. \ free, regular and constant
use OF honey IS probably the best medicine
Tor throad troubles there Is, and its reg
mar use would be largely corrective here
IL Is always best to take our medicine and
food together

WOIfsbean and Lupine.

Robert Russ in Northwest horticultural
In this part of the state of Washington
l have found two native plants growing
wild which are much appreciated and
cultivated in Germany and all old coun-
tries. One of them is the wolfsbean, in
two varieties, Lupinus luteus, with yellow
blossoms, and Lupinus angustifoleus, with
blue blossoms. The other are the vetches
(Vicia sativa). The wolfsbean is a first
rate winter food for sheep. The bean
itself will fatten them like corn. Dried
and made into hay the trunk and leaves of
the lupine. interchanged with wheat or
other straw, will winter sheep in good
condition. but sheep fed entirely on lupin
hay, not well seasoned and musty, will
bring forth the lupinose. Lupines grow on
grayelly sandy soil to the height of two
and three feet, and plowed down make
the cheapest and most effective fertilizers.
1t takes three pecks or one bushel to the
acre for seed. The vetches served with
oats. half and half, are healthy summer
food for horses, cut and fed green to them;
ripened and threshed, horses will do splen-
did on vetches, beans and oats; the straw
is good for sheep, cattle and horses. The
size of the bean on some wild vetches I
have found equal to and even excel those
l have raised III Germany. AS a rule, they
want good land, but seem to grow here al
most anywhere

CHEAP FARES IN HUNGARY.
System by Which Rates Were Reduced
to One-Half Cent n Mile.


to One-Half Cent n Mile.
New York Commercial Advertiser
Three years ago the rates of passenger
travel in Hungary were abous the same as
in the state of New York. The average
fare was little less than 2 cents a mile.
A trip of 80 kilometers-the distance from
New York to Philadelphia-cost Sl.70.
Now it has been reduced to 80 cents. Even
greater reductions have been on journeys
clear across the Hungarian empire. Yet,
in spite of these reductions. the net reve-
nues of the Hungarian railroads are
greater than they were before.
The new system was planned by Won
Baross, the daring and clear-sighted min
lister of commerce and railways. He be-
lieved that the Hungarian people would
travel if cheap rates were granted them,
and he knew the cost of running a tram
did not differ essentially whether there
were fifty passengers or $50. He therefore
divided the territory of Hungary into four
teen zones, all circling about Budapesth as
center, and reduced rates TO 10 cents a
zone. The result is that nearly all local
traffic in Hungary is conducted on the
basis New Workers have been made ac-
quainted with by the Staten Island Ferry
and Railroad Company. Here you pay 10
cents for your ride, no matter whether You
get off when you land at st. George or
take the cars half way around Staten
Island. The saving in the matter of tick
cts, conductors. ETC., and the increased
traffic makes up for the extremely low rate
at which the long distance passengers are
carried.
So in Hungary. AS DR.. Korosi puts it:
"The system does away with an enormous
amount of bookkeeping and red tape.
Railway tickets are purchasable, like
cigars, at any tobacco store, and no tor
malities of stamping or punching are
needed, nothing being required except the
travellers own record on the back of the
ticket on the day of the month he uses
it,"
The increase in traffic which these
changes brought was simply enormous.
The number of tickets sold increased from
100000 to 1S,000,0 900. and although the
average distance travelled was reduced by
one-third, the traffic approximately dou-
bled. Therefore. in spite of the reductions
in fares, the net revenues of the roads
were slightly increased.

1865. New Haven county leading with $50.
Hartford numbered 397 and Fairfield 2f2.
During the last decade, however. Fairfield
county has materially outstripped Hart
ford in the divorce business. New Haven.
as usual, has retained the supremacy, the
record in that county for the ten years ex-
ceeding 800. The repeal of the so-calsed
omnibus clause in the law in 1877 was ex-
pected to result in the reduction of d.
vorce cases. In 1879 there was temporary
Improvement, the number OF DEGREES
dropping to 3t6 for the whole state, but
1883 carried the number to high notch
again. and in 1859 the highest figures in
the history of the state were reached. the
the DEGREES for the year numbering 536.
From 1877 until 1913 the causes for di-
yorce in Connecticut were kept within
narrow limits. The first law defining the
grounds on which divorce might be granted
was passed in October, 1917, the causes be-
ing adultery. fraudulent contract and de-
sertion. Absence for seven years without
being heard from was also admitted as
cause. In f8f3 habitual intemperance and
intolerabie cruelty were added as sufficient
grounds for dissolving the marriage tie.
In 1919 the law was amended in such
way as to satisfy the mos. radical adyo-
cate of divorce, misconduct such as per-
manently destroys the happiness of the
marriage relation" being admitted as a
ground for annulment of the marriage
compact.
1t is curious coincidence that the first
and last divorce ordered by the legislature
was for parties in Stratford. In May, 1855,
the general court permitted the magis-
trates of Stratford to give Goody Beckwith
divorce from her husband on account OF
desertion. The legislature of 1889 divorced
George III. Beard, of Stratfor6, from Mary
4. Beard, of that place, on account of in
durable insanity. In 1881 the general as
sembly divorced Dacy Morse, of Litchfield,
from Philo Morse, jr., on account of IN
tolerable cruelty. Her husband had at
tempted to kill her. In two cases, at least,
the legislative divorces have disturbed So
ciety in the state from center to eircurn-
ference, the Edwards and Jarvis divorces
being of the most sensational character.
The divorce granted two years ago was al
lowed to become operative without the
governors approval.

FERDINAND WARD.
Spending . Deal Of Money for . Man
Whose Wealth IL $50.


Ferdinand Ward, since his release from
Sing Sing prison, five or six weeks ago,
has made his headquarters here. Two
days after regaining his freedom he came
from Thompson, Conn.,, where he had
been to see his 6-year-old son. He lodged
at the United States hotel and inquired
for the home of William II. Wood, a son
of the late Colonel Isaac Wood. Next
day he enjoyed a carriage ride around
town and through the suburbs with Wood
and two other gilded youths. 1t was in
prison that Ward became acquainted with
BILLY" Wood, who has been a close
friend of Elliott Brown, the warden's son,
since the iatter's childhood. 1t is whis-
pered that the ex-Napoleon of finance
dined more than once at Warden Browns
own table.
Ward hadn't been in Newburg twenty
four hours before be loosed his purse
strings and began to spend money freely.
He invested $40 in silk underwear and
other furnishings and paid $50 for 100
cigars. The same evening he and several

In it sounds soft and simple would pre-

Increase of Wealth in tho United States.

WASHINGTON CRY, June 4.-The census
Office has issued bulletin showing the
assessed valuation of property in the
United States as assessed by state or local
officers for purposes of taxation for the
year 1890. The assessed value of all prop
erty has increased from $500, 1913, 5i3 in
1880 to $24, 651 ,5S5, 465 in 1890, an increase
during the decade Of 81, AS. 59l, 800, or IS 81
per cent. Should it be found upon
the completion of the inquiry in re-
lation to the true value OF all prop
erty in the United States that the
same relation exists in 1890 between the
assessed valuation and true valuation as
existed in 1880, the absolute wealth of the
United States according to the eleventh
census may be estimated at S636iS, O00, 600,
or more than $1,000 per capita, as against
$514 per capita in 1860. $3.50 per capita in
1870. and $50 per capita in 1880. The
total assessed valuation of Washington
was $203. 1880; in 1880, $40. S10,693; as
sessed valuation per capita in 1890, S5S306;
in 1850, $3l699; increase per cent. of as
sessed valuation, 1856; increase per cent.
of population, 365. 49,
