As early as 10 o'clock Friday night men
began to gather on Leidesdorff street, be-
tween California aud Pine, and form line

much-cherished coupon, which would en-
title the bearer to one days work at

allowed them by the citizens comm ttee.
AS whole the men appeared to be scan
tily clad. But few possessed overcoats,
while many who have been compelled TO
sacrifice even the lesser garments of
warmth for bread made their appearance
In shrtsleeves. Some idea of the suffer-
ings of those who were compelled to stand

1.-THE TIVOLI" GAME.
A Stockton Man SwindIed Out of
Sl40.


Joseph Splane came from Stockton a
few days ago to take in the sights at the
Midwinter Fair. On Friday afternoon he
was steered into the Turkish dancehouse
on Seventh avenue and ID street. The
dancers did not form the only attraction
for Mr.. SplaDe. He was induced to take
part in a game called ''the Tivoli." 1t is
on the same principle as roulette, and con-
sists in rolling marble along a board
marked with numbers and dotted over
with pins.
1t looked so easy 10 Mr.. Splane to make
a small fortune that he went into the game
heart and soul, as he was permitted to win
q few dollars at the beginning. But for
tune soor fled from him, and when he made
up his mind to stop he was $40 out of
pocket.
1t was impossible for him to win, from
the simple fact that John Wade, who was
in charge of the board, held his thumb
upon spring. and as soon as the marble
was just where he desired he touched the
spring and the marble stopped.
Besides Wade there were three steerers
interested in the proceeds of the game,
and yesterday morning Splane swOre out
