GAMBLING IN ENGLAND.

The Duke of Richmond Discovers His
Guests at Game of Baccarat.
Fortunately there are some great houses
in England, notably that of the Duke of
Richmond and Gordon, where games of
hazard are absolutely prohibited, and it is
even on record that on one occasion
stormy scene took place between the old
Duke and one of his royal guests who. dur
ing the Goodwood race week, had taken
advantage of the Dukes retiring to bed to
start his favorite game of baccarat. The
Duke is great character in his way, ex-
ceedingly independent and enjoys the rep
utation of being the only man in the
United Kingdom who ventures to speak
out bluntly his mind to the Queen and to
offer advice. even when it is distasteful to
his imperious sovereign, who receives it
with graciousness that she would mani
fest to no one else under like circum-
stances. The Duke makes a point of
going to bed every night at 10 o'clock, no
matter who is staying at his house, and
Whenever he is entertaining any royal
guest he invariably begs leave to withdraw
at his customary bedtime.
Unfortunately on this particular night
after reaching his bedroom he found that
he had forgotten book or paper in his
library, and on coming downstairs again
discovered, to his horror that the whole
party were engaged in game of baccarat,
in which they were so eagerly engrossed
that they did not at first notice his pres
ence until finally the principal royal per-
sonage, happening to raise his eyes from
his hand, saw the old Duke standing, can
dIestick in hand, in the doorway. The
scene that ensued will not be easily forgot
ten by those who were present, and the
Duke, who is renowned FLOR his high tenn
per and his unvarnished speech, did not
mince matters in calling his royal guest to
account. Fortunately, the royal parsonage
in question had the good sense to realize
that he was distinctly in the wrong in hav-
ing violated his undertaking to the Duke
not to indulge in games of hazard under
his roof, and although no more baccarat
was played either that night or afterward,
yet the two have always remained good
friends ever since, the royal visits to Good
wood having been lust as regular every
year as formerly .-Ex-Attache in Tribune.

For Contempt of Court.

For Contempt Of Court
Sheriff Ryan went to Hope We'd
nesday and brought down w. f.
Sharai, who was arrested for contempt
Of court. 1t seems that some time
ago Mr.. Sharai jumped O. G. Smiths
agricultural claim at Hope on the
pretext of mineral discovery. Mr..
Smith had him elected and enjoined
him from re-entering the premises
pending decision Of the case. He
paid no attention to the injunction
however, and on complaint of Smith
was on Wednesday arrested.
Thursday at 10 O'clock A. M. the
case came up for hearing in the pro-
bate court. Sharai was defended by
j. A. Keat Of Occur d'Alene, and c.
L. Hoffman conducted the prosecu-
ton. The defense filed a demurrer
to the complaint, which. 1.-THE court ov-
erruled. They then filed papers for a
change of venue, which was not grant
ed,as the case would not properly come
under the jurisdiction of any justice
court, the offense being punishable by
a fine of $500 or SO days in jail, or
both.
The case was finally continued un-
til next Friday, June28, at II O'Clock
nj. Sharai was released on his own
recognizance, but instructed by the
court to keep off Mr.. Smiths premi-
ses, nor to send substitute on the
same, pending this trial.
We happen to know both these men
and something of the merits Of this
case, and do not hest tate to state that
the sooner men like Sharai are given
to understand that the rights OF 9TH
ers must be respected, the better it
will be for the community in which
they reside, and unnecessary expenses
will be saved the county. Mr.. Smith
is an honorable and respected citizen
Of Hope, who has always lived on his
claim, and is endeavoring to improve
the land and make a living for his
family on it, and if Mr.. Sharai has
no sufficient proof of mineral dscov-
cries he should not be allowed tC
longer hamper peacable citizen.

The Canary Island War.

Mr. Burnheim told another story about
a drummer he met while in Los Angeles
who always fattered himself upon keeping
posted in current events and making use
of his knowledge in his business dealings.
The gentleman in question is not unknown
to the fraternity on Sansome street, espe-
cially in the vicinity of Sacramento street.
When the war between China and Japan
broke out, says Mr.. Burnheim, this gentle
man used that fact for all it was worth to
boom his trade in tea. He used to tell his
customers how the war was raising the
price of tea and that they had better lay in
a stock at the old rates before tie new
stock came in, which was sure to be a dol
lar a pound higher. He got so used to
this kind of talk that it grew on him, and
one day when he went in to sell some bird
seed he made the same sort of play, telling
the dealer that prices were sure to go up at
once, but that he could let him have the
last of the stock at the usual rates.
what, bird seed going up?" said the
proprietor in astonishment.
Eyes; advancing very rapidly" said the
drummer.
"Why, what's the cause of that?'
1.-THE war, of course; the war"
"What WARP"
Just then the drummer realized that the
Asiatic war could hardly affect the price
of bird seed. But he was equal to the
occasion. tInsurrection in the Canary

Cheerful influence of Science.

The best that we gain from the pursuit
of research is our characteristic optim ism.
We are engaged in achieving results, and
results of the most permanent and endur-
ing quality. A business man may achieve
G fortune, but time will dissipate it. A
statesman may be the savior of a Nation,
but how long do nations live? knowledge
has no country, belongs to no class, but is
the might of mankind, and it is mightier
for what each of US has done. We have
brought our stones, and they are built into
the edifice and into it's grandeur. My
stone is a small one. 1t will certainly be
forgotten that it is mine, nevertheless it
will remain in place.
How different is the pessimism toward
which literary men are seen to trend |!
Harvard University lost James Russell
Lowell in 1891 and Asa Gray in 1888. The
letters of both of these eminent men have
been published. Lowell's letters grow sad
and discouraged, and he gives way more
and more to the pessimistic spirit; Gray s
are optimistic steadily and to the end. The
difference was partly due to natural tenn
permanent, but chiefly, think, to the infiu-
ence OF their respective professions. The
subject material of the literary man is
familiar human nature and familiar human
surroundings, and his task is to express
the thoughts and dreams which these sug-
gest. He must compete with the whole
past, with all the genius that has been.
There is nothing new under the sun, he
exciaims. But to us it is proverb con-
tradicted by our daily experience.-The

The Oufck and the Dead.

Just before they left town the last time
William Burnheim, who travels for the
Mission Soap and Candle Works, and Phil
O'Donnell, who represents Sach Bros. &
Co., are said to have related some very
marvellous tales, which are still remem-
bered on Sansome street, though it is now
fully four days since these princes of story
tellers started off on their monthly tours.
1t was Burnheim who told about some
wonderful escapes in railroad accidents,
and this led the conversation to accidents
and escapes in general. Then ODonnell
told about the man he knew of who was
working in a quarry when the blast went
off Unexpectedly. 1t drove an iron spike
clean through the workman's chin and left
the end sticking out through his head. But
still the man lived and walked about for
several years afterward, his hat covering
the bar of iron that stuck out through the
crown of his head.
Phil O'Donnell was one of the listeners.
"MarvelousP' he said, wasn't it?'
''Well, should think it was" said Burn
helm, land true, too"
do you know" said O'Donnell, chat
reminds me of awful accident l witnessed
in Los Angeles"
Tell US about it," said Burnheim.
"B'lieve | will. This man at Los An
geles got himself under huge steam-roller
and was f1attened out like pancake; most
awful accident 1 ever heard Of He"
"And he's alive YETI" questioned Burn
helm, eagerly.
"Oh, no; this man died" said O'Don-
nell Then Burnheim said it was time to
drink, and that changed the subject.
