An Unpleasant Experience.

Occasionally said a retired burglar to a
New Orleans Times Democrat writer, "a man
transfers to himself in a single night the &C
cumulations of another mans lifetime. but
those instances are very rare ana nothing
could be farther from the truth than the idea
that burglary is quick and easy road to
wealth The fact is that the great majority of
burglars make but a scant living, and to make
even that they must encounter many Difficult
ties and dangers. The burglars reward, what
ever 1t may be, is never Commensurate to the
risks he takes.
81 have myself acquired some property, but
if had my life to live over again l should
choose some other occupation than burglary.
Indeed, when you come to consider the incon-
venient hours and the general worry and I'm.
certainty of that business, the wonder is that
anybody should ever go into it; if man is at
all inclined to be sensitive he should certainly
keep out of it.
II remember a long time ago going late one
night into a room in which there was one man
sleeping. His clothes were on a chair near the
head of the bed. l was bending over those
clothes and about to take them into the hall
when the man suddenly woke up
without an instant's hesitation he threw his
arms around me. | was young then and strong,
but this man was four times as strong as was
l think he could have crushed me if he had
wanted to, and he put me out of the house
with the greatest of ease. But before he did
that he carried me over to the bureau and
turned up the light. AS he looked at me my
watch chain caught his eye. and do you know
that that man took my watch and chain and
kept theml"

Wattsrson and Poker.

Speaking of poker reminds me Of the trick
so successfully played by two OF the best-known
men in my state several years ago." said
VIII T. Hughes of Lexington, KY. to St.
Louis Globe Democrat reporter. 1T was for
this reason that Henry Watterson, though he
loves poker better than his star-eyed goddess,
declares that it is not gentleman's game, The
great editor was one Of the victims Of the sr lex,
which was q simple enough affair. though out
OF 1t the two men made nearly $500. 600 apiece
In single year and then retired from business,
Inc men bought in advance the entire product
OF Cincinnati card mandatory for e year
and had complete control of the cards turned
OUT. or course they paid big price for the
what they were about The deal was known
only to the two Kentuckians and the Cincinnati
manufacturer. but even the latter was not let
into the secret OF what marks were put on the
cards 1t was part OF the contract with the
manufacturer that he was to push the sale Of
the cards in Kentucky and Southern Ohio, and
that he was to give them away if necessary to
drlve other makes out of the market.
In the course of sixty days il was ab-
solutely impossible to find deck of cards in
kentucky or Southern Ohio not turned out OF
tne Cincinnati house in question. Well of
course, the two Kentuckans had the world in
their grasp for a whole year. aud the entire sec
tlon marked out by them for their operations
went poker crazy IL didn't have very far to 20,
though. Toward the end Of the year the story
got out some way. but it was too late then. The
poker fends had been playing with marked
cards for nearly year, and nobody knew the
marks but the two men who had paid good,
hard money for their knowledge, and who
reaped a harvest richer than Jay Gould's
watered stock profits. Mr.. Watterson was one
OF the first victims to tumble but he wouldn't
allow the rascaity to be exposed in his paper for
the reason that it was stoutly denied by the men
who profited by il. and their family name and
record are such in Kentucky that the matter
was not pushed to rigid Investigation One OF
them since acknowledged to me, in a burst of
confidence. the truth of the story have briefly
outlined. -

Sherman q Candidate.

The republican politicians who are OPP
posed 10 the denomination Of the President
have, 1t is said, decided to do their utmost
to nominate Senator Sherman. 1t is alleged
that a meeting was held In Washington a
few days ago, by a number Of antl-HarrIson
leaders, including Senators Cameron. Quay
and the New York boss. Platt, at which the
political situation was thoroughly discussed
and the conclusion reached that II Mr..
Blaine persisted in refusing to permit his
name to go before the Minneapolis oonven-
ton the opposition to the President should
unite upon Senator Sherman.
1t has not been very long since Senator
Sherman said that he would never again
seek the nomination for President. 1t was
even announced that before very long
he would resign his seat In the Sem
ate and devote the remainder Of his days
to editing the letters of his brother,
the late Gen. Sherman. 1t is probable,
however, that If he saw chance to get
the nomination he would abandon all the
plans for passing his remaining years in
peace and quiet and devote himself with his
old time energy to the task Of gratifying
the one great ambition of his life.
Senator Sherman is very able man.
He is by far the ablest republican in con-
gress. The late Senator Beck said FREE
quently that he was the ablest debater on
the republican side of the Senate. He Is
student and a very hard worker. Very
few subjects come before the Senate with
which he is not thoroughly familiar.
He has not a faculty, however, for max
ft,cr frSa Aa L. Lan
manners are cold and he repels rather than
attracts. II he had the power to reach the
hearts of the people that Mr.. Blaine has, he
would have been nominated for President
long ago. His grasp Of public questions is
greater than that of Mr.. Blaine. He does
not approach Mr.. Blaine as an orator, but
he surpasses him as a reasoner.
But Senator Sherman will not be nomi-
mated. II he permits himself to think he
will be he will suffer a disappointment. The
President will be renominated. The poll
ticians like Quay. Cameron and Platt, In
fuential as they are, cannot change the
current Of republican sentiments that Is
running in his direction. The current is
too great and too strong to be changed by
any means that they can command. The
President may not be very popular. but he
is fully as good politician as any Of those
who are seeking to defeat him.
If there were a popular demand for
Senator Sherman the situation would be
different. II he is put forward, 1t will not
be because he is favorite in any part of
the country, but because he is the most
available man to oppose the President
And it will not be possible TO keep In the
background the fact that he is the candi-
date of a coterle of politicians whose chief
object is to defeat the nomination of the
President

The Washington correspondent Of the
Philadelphia Press says the bill 10 transfer
the revenue marine service from the
treasury department to the navy depart
ment will hardly pass the House, because
"there is no patronage in it" and because sit
is claimed there will be an increase of ex-
renses." Senator Sherman is authority for
the statement that the increased expense
will be about s154, 900 year. On the other
hand, Secretary Tracy, who warmly in
dorses the bill, says the change will reduce
the expenditures some 5000. 900 per annum.
besides making suitable provision for the
present corps of revenue marine officers and
increasing from $50 to $50 the num-
Der Of line officers Of the navy
doing sea duty and gaining sea
experience "These officers, without che
consolidation would, upon the completion
Of the new navy, be to a great extent IN
employed" he says. Notwithstanding
Secretary Tracy's approval of the bill
many of his subordinates strongly oppose
it. Commodore Folger of the naval ord
nance bureau, recently appeared before the
House committee having the bill in charge
aud made an elaborate argument showing
that his superior officers conclusions are all
wrong. Secretary Foster, OF the treasury
department, also opposes the bin on the
ground that the transfer Of the revenue
marine service would make the treasury
dependent upon the navy department for
marine police to execute its orders. The
contest is a warm one and the outcome is
awaited with interest.
