CHIEF JUSTICE FULLER by retlnue or jealous courtiers Whoever is susA pected of having "pull" with the administration becomes parsonage immediately. The very latest notability in this direction is Chief Justice Fuller. The chief justice of the United States is very rarely political factor. Administra- tions may come and they may go, but the supreme court goes on forever. Not often does any president consti- tute any member of that august tribunal his personal adviser. But within the past few weeks a decided change has been effected, and Melville W. Fuller is now doubly great.
 He and the president had their first very notable confab not long before the date of that much quoted letter to Chairman Wilson. Subsequently they were noticed in each others company on various occasions, and 1t was de- clared that these conferences were in- variably followed by some noteworthy public act of MT. Cleveland.
 It required no great stretch of in- ductive faculty for the observers to conclude that MT. Cleveland had ap- pointed an extra official adviser. It was asserted that the chief justice had delayed his departure for Maine, where he was to pass the summer, purely on account of Mir. Cleveland's wish to see him on some important matters An other theory is that the president wishes to cement his not too cordial relations with Adlai E. Stevenson through the intervention of the lat ter's warm friend, MT. Fuller. The determination of the Illinois <dem- ocrats to boom MT. Stevenson has disconnected eastern members of the party, and it has been said that the vice president has been promised an other term if he will swing his fol- lowers into line for man after Cleve- lands heart. E
 Be this as 1t may, it seems certain that something is understanding out of the ordinary, and in which the chief justice is concerned. The only cause for anxiety expressed by New Workers is that a conspiracy appears to be matching to give the democratic presi- dential nomination to a westerner. This booming of western availability is declared to be Cleveland's way of heading off Hill. At any rate, Chief Justice Fuller is sudden and unique power in politics.

ment of SiO0. Very few poker records could beat that. Then there is Henry D. Dixey. That man has { mole bril- liant record as at tasyQtss of thss g@pe than any living man with the possible exception of Henry Watterson. In my opinion the coming event will be of historical importance as tending to bring together brilliant players from all over the country. Moreover, there are certain mooted points in the game which have never been settled and which the tournament could determine once for all. How comes it, wonder, that while we have had whist tourna- ments, and euchre conclaves, the devo- tees of poker have never come together in national council? We'll, we will change all that,it seems, and I am glad of It."

throughout the country by parties of local chip redeemers. To take one town only, say Buffalo Six poker players have game on an evening to be selected. Each map has two dollars in the pot and 1t takes five dollars to open. There being SIP in the game to start with, it follows that were four only to stay in at the opening there would be $32 to win at the very lowest. Nor need it be pointed out to tyro in the game that endless contingencies might arise in which the pot would much exceed that sum. However, let 1t go, as they say on Coney island, at S32.
 Now under the terms of the com pact as arranged, poker players all over the union would have united in these little games. The winner of each does not, however, pocket his earnings. The S32 in every case is reserved for grand fund made up by the hundred odd games so played throughout the country. That would make $3,2o0 in all. The winning hundred would meet in convention and arrange for new set of winners. Twenty games of five players each would be organized. Each man must put up S2 to jack pot as before, with s5 to open. The limit, it should be stated, is s5 all the way, through this series of game.
 We'll, then, there would be S1O pot in every instance and twenty of them at that. Three men on an average stay in the game when the jack pot is opened. That would give twenty $25 pots or $500 more to add to the original sum of &, 200.
 The twenty men who come out of this second ordeal as winners now form another series of five games of four players each. Needless to say there

 Poker playing has never involved anything like a severe mental strain, whatever may be said of its effect upon the nervous system. Tho literature of the game has heretofore largely con- sisted of anecdotal fragments calcu- lated rather to elucidate the deport- ment of the great in crises of one kind or another than to afford material for the pages of the scientific historian. Now, however, we are on the eve of revolution fully as momentous in it's way as is that of the earth upon its axis. The learned societies whose trans actions afford such delight to all whose livelihood is connected with the size of printers bills will find rival in the movement which seems destined to reach a climax in the assembly of poker conclave and congress of which the published proceedings will mark an epoch in the use of jack pots.
 The whole affair had its origin in the merest trihe, but so did the Punic wars, for that matter. It was to New York enthusiast that the idea first occurred of a prearranged series of poker games played in different cities

tail. It seems that by the time the party of Gotham revelers had reached the Mediterranean, well-deflned im- pression prevailed that MT. and Mrs. William K. Vanderbilt were not on the best of terms. One evening the whole party assembled for dinner. Mrs Van derbilt announced that the yacht would change her course and proceed toward the coast of Africa. Mir. Vanderbilt, from the accounts of his melancholy difference now current in the pluto cratic precincts of the metropolis, had already arranged for cruise along the southern shores of Europe. This cir eu1nstance he announced with more disregard of his wife's wishes than seemed becoming, and, as some sort of justification, he said that "the party" would like this course better. Mrs. Vanderbilt is QuQtedas having retortad

Five times SIS gives 800, to swell the sum in hand already.
 Now comes the final bout The i've veterans who thus come out of these various ordeals sit down together to a glorious final game. Thepot would be S3,200 plus $500 plus 800, or $3,79O. It would still be jack with g. apiece to come in, or S10 in all, making $500 to start the game with. The limit is still S5. The winner of this final pot poclk- cts all the money.
 It is superfuous to indicate how lim- itless a field this concentration of con claves affords to the world of poker players. It opens up territory in the domain of jack pots that has never been explored. Consider, too, the end Jess variety of which the scheme is susceptible. The original $2 of each player may be made $1o, a sum which would seem a bagatelle to legions of players since the final pot would there by equal S90,000 and the cost of being Q competitor in the final game would not exceed S100 As all Americans know, many man has dropped" 5000 in one game of poker.

They have re- gently conferred unique celebrity upon this young elaborator of the weird, and his ability to do almost anything with a fierce serpentine monster brought him the other day an offer from we'll known amusement manager to enter his combination as snake charmer. Higby says he feels insulted.
 Some of these snakes cost very large sums, and only the wealthy can take up the hobby to any extent However, those who fear the reptiles in the flesh, are making up for it by having serpen- tine designs introduced into their hone decorations. 1t is not likely that this newly aroused passion for snakes will last long, for New Workers are quickest to weary of any whimsical fad. But it well illustrates the ten dencies now prevailing to take up any thing, no matter what, that promises relaxation from the boredom of living upon more money than one knows -.l-et "a dn with nAvIn WRnHsI.ER.

that from personal inquiry she knew. her guests to be otherwise inclined. The embarrassed members of the party thus found themselves sort of marital battling grohhd.
 MT. Vanderbilt did not have aboard his fidus Achates, the man who for years has kept the peace in this dis tracted household. There seems to have been an animated exchange of personal opinions between the multi millionaire and his wife, and as result Mrs. Vanderbilt arose from the table and swept away to her state room. She never again appeared at a meal aboard the Valiant while her husband was at table. It is further reported that when the naughty lady left the dinner in scorn, the other female members of the party went off with her. This, how ever, was not meant as an intima- tion that they sided with the hostess, but rather as a tribute to appearances, being meant as an ordinary de- parture from the meal, that the men might enjoy the wine and cigars. But, of course, the party was broken up, and all struggled back to New York as best they might. It is further whis- pered that not few of them are quite indignant at thus being dragged so far away from home on a cruise meant to be long, and for which they sacri- feed many engagements to make, only to disband amid scenes of discord.
 The other great yachting expedition of the year, that of the Goulds seems to be likewise unlucky. Mrs Gould is said to be alarmed over the health of her eldest son and anxious to remain in Europe on his account. But MT. Gould wants to come home.

The old-fashioned blue is giving way to the scarlatine blouses and white leggins. Now that the society women are likewise cyclists, the newest costumes come from Paris, and in not few instances are worth hundreds of dollars. It being reported that Mrs. Cleveland has announced her intention of investing in the newest thing in the shape of bicycle, the fame which such course on her part will confer on the wheeled machine may be expected to spread the epi. demic.

ton, as it surely will be, we may ex- pect such wave of popular enthusiasm for poker as will cause 1t to become the game of games. The idea is so simple, yet so grand, that one wonders 1t has never occurred to anybody before. But that is the way with all truly great in- ventions. Their simplicity Is their main characteristic"
 "Is poker still worthy of being styled our national gamer" the eminent car toonist was asked.
 Undoubtedly. The fact thatits great simplicity does not involve any intrica- cy in play, and the quiet proceedings of its devotees, have not caused it to figure very much as a factor in public discussion. Yet how much we owe to the game after all Without poker there would have been no Bret Harte.
