Senatorial Poker.

One of the best poker stories | know
has the unusual merit OF being true. says
Walter Wellman, the Washington cor
respondent of the Chicago Times-Herald
Most poker stories. are fiction this one
deals with facts. During the first Cleve-
land administration there was little
game at the house of Mr.. Whitney.
Sitting in it were Grover Cleveland, John
G. Carlisle, W. l.. Scott, Henry Waiter
son and the host-just nice tive-handed
game, and company of royal good fell
lows, as every one will admit. The play
was strictly senatorial-$5 ante, s. limit
Charley-Farwell straights-around-the-cor-
ner, Billy Mahone-blszes and everything
going. OF course, Mr.. Whitney set an
elegant luncheon, with all the proper
trimmings, and about midnight there was
a good deal OF bluffing over the cards
and no end OF banteriug across the table.
Finally came the deal which makes the
story, and which may have an import
ant bearing on the history OF the country.
Grover Cleveland skinned the cards.
which were dealt him by John Carlisle,
and remarked they were worth little
raise before the draw. w. l.. Scott stay
ed in; Henry Watterson, belligerent as
usual, added another raise, which was
met by William G. Whitney. John q.
Carlisle trailed in. Mr.. Cleveland now
tilted Watterson, and the others stayed,
except that Watterson again jerked two
blue chips instead Of one to the middle OF
the table. There were several more raises
backward and forward between Cleye-
land and Watterson, and the pace became
so bot between these two that the others
discreetly dropped out with their single
pairs-alI except Carlisle, who continued
TO trail ia.
Finally Cleveland stopped meeting the
risky Wat.erson's ultimatums. and cards
we've drawn. Cleveland took one, and
everybody knew he had three of kind
or two big pairs. Watterson stood pat,
and Cleveland sized him up for bluff
To the adjustment OF every one, Dealer
Carlisle helped himself to four cards.
All hands were much amused at this
display of poker innocence. and the play
ers winked at one another behind their
cards. Watterson said something to the
effect that Carlisle had been so long away
from Kentucky be must have forgotten
most that he ever knew. But when
Cleveland had merely chipped against
Watterson's pat, and Watterson had
rushed in with another blue, there was
more adjustment. Carlisle quickly
showed in two blues. Cleveland responded
with another raise, Watterson held his
cards close to the end of bis nose and re-
turned to the charge, and the Kentuckian
tilted them again. After the center OF the
table had been piled high with blue chips,
the man with the four-eard draw making
the last raise, there was a show down.
Cleveland had filled two pairs, Watterson

A Century Hence.

The Boston Transcript forestalls events
and gives the following as sample items
Of those which will appear in the papers
of 1895:
A horse, an animal said to have once
been quite common in our city streets,
was seen in this city yesterday. He at
tracted much curiosity and he was fol
lowed wherever he went by immense
crowds. 1t Is almost impossible to be
leve that our ancestors could have trust
ed their lives to so formidable creature
1t is understood that the animal escaped
from the Equine Food abattoir in Brigh'
ton.
An almost unprecedented event happen
ed in this city last evening. when Mr.. and
Mrs. John Brownsmith celebrated the
anniversary OF their marriage. The
Brownsmiths were married year ago.
1t is quite remarkable for couple to i've
90 long together in the state OF wedlock,
and their celebration naturally drew to
their residence a dense throng OF admir-
ing friends. Congratulations were poured
upon the happy pair, with wishes that
they might continue together long enough
to observe the second anniversary OF their
wedding.
The directors of the Euripides Manu-
featuring company have been convicted
of the charge OF failure to examine into
the accounts of their treasurer, and have
seyerally been sentenced to imprison-
ment in the state prison for term OF
five wears. Their counsel argued that
inasmuch as the treasurer's accounts. as
shown by expert examination, were
faultless during his ten years OF service
and that no suspicion had ever fallen
upon him, the sentence should be lighter,
but the court very justly remarked that
the. offense was the same as If the result
had been severe loss to the stockholders.
1t was curious to see pedestrian in
Washington street today, the first one
that has been seen in the city for many
years. He occasioned no small amount
OF vextation to the unicyclists, in whose
way he was getting continually. There
can be no objection to people walking in
their own houses or in the country, where
there is plenty OF room, but it is clearly
out of the question that the practice
should be permitted in our crowded city
streets.
The death of Solomon Strongmind,
which occurred this morning, calls to
mind the remarkable fact that during
his long residence Of five years or more
in this city he has never mysteriously
disappeared for even once. Undoubtedly
Mr.. Strongmind was somewhat eccentric
in his habits generally, but in this espe-
cial matter the controlling cause must
have been something far more potent
than mere oddity.
A man appeared on the street dressed
in trousers and cutaway coat yesterday.
He was promptly arrested and carried
to the station house. When he next
made his appearance he had donned the
petticoats and other garments appro-
pirate to his sex.

HOMING PIGEON FANCIERS.
Fifteenth Annual Meeting of the
Federation.


The fifteenth annual meeting of the Ma
tonal Federation of American Hcrning
Pigeon Farciers was held in Newark, N.
j., last night. The main objects of the fed
Grafton are the breeding, training and fly
ing of homing pigeons for the developmer t
of speed and endurance, the bringing of
the fanciers into closer fellowship and to
make the sport one OF the most popular
among American paStimes.
There was very large attendance of
members and guests, and those present
represented about $5O,0U0 of the quarter of
a million which is at the present time in
vested in the feathered flyers.
Prior to the meeting the annual dinner
was given, covers being laid for 125 per-
sons.
The reports of Secretary w. Verrinder of
Jersey City and Race Secretary Charles H.
Jones of Philadelphia showed that the fed
GRAFTON is in flourshing condition and had
a brilliant outlook for the coming year.
The federation and district diplomas for
the young and old bird flying during the
past year were presented during the meet
ing.
Among those present were: President T.
Fred Goldman. Brooklyn: ]. T. Eiker and
w. H. Keyworth, Washington, u. c.; A.
Pennel, Leesburg, Va: John SHEPPARD
Paul NJ. kronse, Arthur McGnn. T. b. Nc

among the sufferers will be the Pacific
Steam Whaling Company. Out of fleet
of ten vessels they captured twelve whales.
1t will take much more than s. pound to
bring the company out even. In the old
days, when bone was short, the price was
sent up accordingly, but at the present
time substitutes are being used in so many
ways that there is a limit to the price of
the whales product.
The schooner Rosario has done well for
her owners, who are clerks in the office Of
j. d. Spreckles & Bro. She caught two
bowheads during the present season and
four last year. With bone at So pound
this means cleanup for the owners OF at
least $4,000.

GOLD BILL CURTIS INDIGNANT.
He Says the n. Y. A. C. Governors Have
Acted Like DOnkeys.


Acted Like DOnkeys.
Jim Mitchelrs dropping by the N. Y. A.
c. is the talk in athletic circles in New
York. Mitchell was expelled because he
had criticised Benny" Williams and other
club officers too caustically. An extract
from Secretary Gulicks letter to Mitchell
shows this to be the case:
1T is only proper in me, in this connec-
ton, to advise you of the reasons that &C
tuated both the committee and the board
in arriving at the above conclusion. Relia-
BILE information had been obtained by the
committee that you were the author Of a
scurrilous article published in the New
York Mercury of October p, 1898, reflect
ing on the club and one or more of it's Off
cers-an article SO gross in its nature that
neither the committee nor the board could
allow 1t to pass unnoticed with due consid-
GRAFTON of its own self-respect and your
connection with the club as member
thereof"
The comment of William b. Curtis,
Father Bill" who Is life member of the
club, covers the case. Mr. Curtis says:
Considering the charges made, The &C
ton of the board of governors is most out
rageous. l think that the club must be go
ing crazy. The governors have the right to
terminate the membership of an athletic
member at will, but when they give such
reasons for doing 1t they are acting like
donkeys. The constitution says that 'ath-
letic membership shall continue in the dis
erection of the board of governors but it
also says that if charges be brough
against a member of conduct injurious to
the good order, peace or interests of the
club that the board shall inform linn in
writing, furnish him with a copy of SUCH
charge, and give him ten days notice to
attend the board in answer thereto.
Mitchell you see, was given no such treat
ment. If the club is to act like this, l am
ready to republish Mitchells article say it
was not severe enough and give them a
chance to eXpel me-"
