refused to an unpleasant punter without
giving him any reasons for it. But there
are other ways of getting rid of obstinate
winners; there is regular squad of
agents prOUOcGteurS, whose mode of
operation is very simple; they pick a
quarrel over a stake with man pointed
out to them; and as they are not in the
least particular about epithets or blows,
whether taken or given, row begins, a
smiling inspector comes up with rein
forcements, invites you politely to come
with him, and invites you out of the pre-
cincts of the place. There he explains
that, although he has no doubt you were
in the right, the rule of the place is not to
readmit those who have been the cause of
row; and there you are.
Quarrels about stak es are always plenti-
full at Monte Carlo, and very often they
are genuine; in some cases, especially
when the stakes are small and on single
chances. the administration pays both
claimants, and keeps an eye on them if
unknown. For there is a whole army of
ruined gamblers hanging round the
place, known to everybody in it, and ex-
ercising the profession of so-called "or-
phan pickers' (cdeittel1'S d'0J'phetins). An
''orphan" is a stake left by experienced
novices about a minute longer than it
ought to be, and kidnapped in the twink
ling of an eye by cUeitie1tr who has
spotted his man. Croupiers and inspectors
look with benevolent eye on those
green-baize pirates, and generally side
with them.-St James Gazette Core

Colonel Goldsmid says that 900 Hebrew

eating 10000 acres each. There are 700
families in each colony, and every head

The lands are being devoted to the cult
walton of wheat, and the success of the
colonies is assured. Colonel Goldsmid

BLOUNT's SUCCESSOR.
Proctor Knott rendered the Hawaiian
Mission,

Proctor Knott rendered the Hawaiian
Mission.
WASHINGTON, June 1S.-ProCtor Knott
of Kentucky will probably succeed James
Ii. Blount as Minister to Hawaii. There
Is no longer any doubt that President
Cleveland has received Mr.. Blount's
resignation and that it has been on file in
the State Department for some days. 1t
leaked out here to-day that early this
week President Cleveland telegraphed
Proctor Knott to come to Washington so
he could have a conference with him.
Mr.. Knott fastened to the Capital City,
and since his arrival has had conferences
with President Cleveland, both at the
White House and at his summer home at
Belvoir. 1t could not be learned to-day
whether Mr.. Knott had as yet decided to
accept the mission. but his friends in
Washington are Of the opin on that he
will do so.
These kentuckians. at any rate, have
no doubt whatever that Mr.. Cleveland
has offered the famous ex-Congressman
from the Blue Grass State this position.
and has urged him to accept it. Rumors
have been in circulation for the past two
or three days in connection with the selec-
ton OF other men for this position, but the
most recent one is that which connects
Ex-Governor Knott as the successor of
MIR. Blount, who is anxious to get away
from Honolulu.
There is no doubt whatever that had
the Georgian had any idea he would be
kept on the islands so long lie would not
have accepted the position as the rowing
representative of the Government. He
accepted it with the idea that he would be
sent on diplomatic missions of this kind
to very many sections of the world, and
had no idea then that the irksome posi-
ton of Minister would ever be his. 1t is
stated that he accepted it under duress
and now absolutely refuses to continue.
1t is believed that Secretary Carlisle has
had good deal to do with the tender by
the President of the mission to Knott.
The Consul-General to Honolulu will also
be appointed i'll very short time. This
position was rendered to John Sharpstein
of Walla Walla, and afterward to Frank
Logan of Spokane Falls, through Hugh
C. Wallace, National Committeeman of
Washington. AS both declined the an
pointment it will now go to New York,
