"TAKEN IN"

A San Francisco Reporter BuncOed Out
of All His Cash.
A good story is going the rounds, in
which reporter for one of San Fran
cisco's great dailies is the victim. 1t
seems strange that one of his profession
should go easily be taken in by the
smooth gentry known as bunco' 'steerers,
but such ia the fact, however, and the
brilliant young newspaper man from
the Golden Gate city does not deny that
he was feeced.
A few evenings ago he was celebrating
his advent in the Angel city, and ap-
parently imhibed too frequently in po-
tations that make one see double.
While in this state of hilariousness two
well-known sports about town took the
young man from the Bay city in tow and
led him to certain saloon
on Spring street, where no time
was lost in beginning dice game. The
game, however, did not last loug-just
sufficient length of time for Mr.. Reporter
to be swindled out OF what cash he had
on his person, Fortunately he only
possessed about $50, and that is what
the sharpers no doubt divided between
them. The scribe saw his folly when
too late. 1t appeared to him he had
been robbed by the means of load ed
dice, but as he had often written up
himself stories of a similar nature re-
garding other unfortunates he took his
medicine gracefully, and today thinks
Los Angeles in the lead over San Fran
cisco for smooth cappers and bunco men.

THE DINNER DANCE.

New York has something new and is
making the most of it. 1t is the dinner
dance, as sitsis familiarly called. 1t
seems that the old-fashioned way of
languid waiting and killing time during
the early evening before the "ball' Gas
every important dining party is now
called) has palled on the senses of the
busy and alert fashionables who never
have time to waste, and go they have
literally abolished the old-time, unoccu-
pied and unamused three or four hours
between the family dinner and the
whirling away to the "party" with its
disorder as to arrangements for dancing
and its unpleasant crush when the late
refreshments come in. -
Now, if we Judge by the high exam
pies, the gay metropolis has inaugurated
a change which promises better results.
An elaborate dinner precedes the ball.
Directly after the refreshment of 5
O'Clock tea, which the ladies are said to
drink stronger than ever before, the
identifying for the ball begins and lasts
till the carriages come to take
them to the preliminary dinner.
The dinner is rich and finely served,
choice wines being bountifully provided.
1t is at this feast that the partners for
the opening dance are selected by the
arrangement of taking out to the table.
This offers wsy to prevent all unfor-
tunate neglect, and insures each young
woman against starting out as wall
flower. The dinner is also the occasion
for exchanging compliments and gossip,
and makes all succeeding events of the
night much easier to be carried out.
All the young people pronounce the
new dinner dance the solution of many
old troubles, while the older ones who
do not dance, and, presumably, do not
firt, settle down to an evening OF quiet
conversation or cards, with every bodily
want supplied and every sense suitably
ministered to. Newport had one or two
of these new-fashioned entertainments
near the close of the last season, but it
appears that New York is the only
social center that has fully endorsed and
adopted the fashion as its own. That it
has come to stay is evident to rybody
who realizes what good dinner means
to men and women everywhere.

A DESERVING AND UNDERPAID CLASS.

A strong movement is on foot to in
duce congress to increase the pay of the
postal clerks. This is right, and con-
siderable addition should be made to
the remuneration of this highly over
worked class. There is great difference
between discharging an allotted task in
pleasant quarters and being jolted over
long distances in railway car, subject
to draughts and to dangers to life and
limb. The postal clerk, under the cir
cumstances, is miserably underpaid.
Every time he leaves either of the
termini of mis- route he takes his life in
his hands, H.o'he is MANNED or
killed the government takes no
care either of himself or of his
family. Other governments provide
faithful servitors of this kind with a
pension. Not so Uncle Sam. That
frugal old gentleman always drives the
hardestk kind of bargains, and iug-han-
died contracts are matters of notoriety,
and have been SO immemorially. The
postal clerks think that congress has been
remiss in considering their claims, and
they have therefore adopted the sensi-
BILE idea of circulating petitions every
where, with most gratifying results to
themselves. In Chicago these appeals
were signed by $4,000 responsible citi-
zens, and large lists are reported in
other cities. Our own people will shortly
be appealed to to help this deserving
class out in it's application to congress,
and we hope the appeal will be respond
ed to generally.

POKER ROOM SHARPS.
A Set of Well Dressed Migrants WI
Should Be Suppressed.

A Set of Well Dressed Migrants Who
Should Be Suppressed.
Every day or two there is reported to
police headquarters a case of bunco or
robbery by some stranger who has been
taken in at some of the numerous pri-
vate poker games, which are disgrace
to the city. A few days ago young
man from Oregon was feeced by some
sharpers, he claims, and, having no
money, left hotel without paving his
board bill. He was landed in Jail, un-
der the strange provisions of special
law, which is by its very nature uncon-
stitutional and unjust.
This is one illustration OF the work
ings OF the private poker room. 1t
makes man commit an offence. Hav-
ing been robbed, he attempts to defraud
others. The law seems to be silent or
Intellectual against loaded dice, marked
cards or confederates dealing out big
hands to each other, and thus swindling
their victim in more despicable man
ner. than that resorted to by the pick
pocket.
These private poker rooms are too
numerous for the reputation of the city,
and every visitor who is robbed in them
does his utmost to give to the city bad
name in the east.
Young clerks and men occupying pos.
itions of trust are ensnared by the we'll
dressed ropers, cappers and poker
sharps, and are not only stripped Of
their own earnings, but occasionally
commit crime in order to regain their
Losses.
The law applying to vagrants should
be rigidly enforced. 1t applies to the
we'll dressed loafer as we'll as to the un.
dressed tramp. The tramp's transgres-
sions are as nothing in comparison to
the robberiee of the poker room sharp.

Girls combination gave an average per-
formance at Turnverein hall last even
ing to very large audience. The pro-
gramme consisted of specialties, several
of which were new to this section and
were we'll performed. Fred Barth, the
eccentric grotesque leg comedian, as he

ance. Fred Gottlob, German dialect
comedian, was also very good in his
specialties. Miss Nellie Russell was

fine stage presence. The serpentine
dance WAS success 80 far as high kick

rather saltatorial feats interspersed

wanted and they got plenty of it.

A MENACE TO OUR PROGRESS.
1t has generally been conceded that
the modern protective tariff benefits
only the states OF Pennsylvania, New
York, Connecticut and Alabama, so far
as the production of iron is concerned.
So long as Simon Cameron & Co. could
hold their avaricious grip upon the
Republican party in the Keystone state
and disburse their millions in congress
for corruption purposes, just so long the
price of iron could be kept up to figures
which were absolutely prohibitory and
entirely precluded all hopes OF building
iron ships in America. But with the
election of Cleveland and the prospect
of return to the tariff OF Robert j.
Walker, which is great deal better for
the country than free trade. there will
be big drop in the price of iron. This
will enable the American shipyards to
start up afresh and build iron ships to
do the commerce of America, instead of
wooden ones. And while l still adhere
to the assertion that the wooden ship
will outlast the iron one, still the in
surance people have Disseminated in
favor OF the iron ship as against the
wooden one, 80 all we have to do is to
keep UP WITH THE PROCESSION"
1t is folly to talk about carrying on
commerce without insurance, which is
now become just as legitimate part OF
one's daily expense in business as rent
or gaslight. In order to get reasonable
and satisfactory insurance, we must
build ships that will meet with the ap-
proval OF the marine surveyors employed
by the underwriters; and if they say
"iron," why Iron" goes, and that's all
there is about it. Some people claim
that John Elders compound engine is
the cause of British maritime suprem-
acy, hut that is all rot. There are at
least 10 steamers sailing out of San Fran
cisco, built wholly by America and con-
tanning smoother working and more
economical compound engines than John
Elder ever made in his whole life. But
reduction of the tariff on iron, which
could be effected only through the
agency of Democratic administration
will give us the means of building iron
ships inst as cheaply as in England, and, +,
the writer firmly believes. a good deal
better. L. b. M.
