Long Terms in the Consular Service

New York Times: A glance at the Off
cial register of the department OF state
shows that there are really more a. plo-
matte and consular officers who nave
been holding on through all changes OF
administration practically under CIVIL
service tenure than might have been sup
posed. Most of them. however, occupy
subordinate positions as vice-consuls. or
commercial agents. But in the diplo-
matic corps there is Mr.. DENLY, our min
lister to Japan, who has been contlhu,,
ously on duty there since May, 1885, and
Henry Vignaud CT Louisiana. our secre-
tary OF legation in Paris, who has been
there quite as long. Mr.. RICHARD K.
Neill secretary of legation at Lima. en-
tered upon the duties in 1884. and some
of the attaches OF our legation in turkey
have been in the service since 1873. All
these last-named officials undoubtedly
owe their retention to their acquaintance
with the languages of the country to
which they are accredited. The dean OF
the consular corps is Mr.. Horatlo j..
Sprague of Massachusetts, who was ap-
pointed in 1S4S, and has retained his
$500 Off ce ever since.
There are quite number OF consular
agents who have held office for twenty
wears or more. These officers are usually
merchants engaged in trade. and receive
their compensation ir the shape OF fees.
One consul at Patras, Greece, is native
OF Great Britain, not even naturaliz ed
citizen OF the United States, put 50 effl-
cient that he has held his post ever since
1870, Notwithstanding the fact that the
fees reported and retained by lin (whic b
do not by any means include all The re-
ceipts of the consulate) amount to very
nearly $4,000 a year. In Nassau, Thomas
J. McClain OF Ohio has held $1,000 or $4,000
consular position since 1877. Marsh al
III. Twitchell has retained the consulate

SO imp pressed by his luck that they risked

said to him: you're not satisfied to
win yourself, but you want to see every
one else win TOO. GAS soon as Sheedy left.
the bank began 10 get back some OF ITS
money from the other players who were
all at sea without their leader.
All the big betting OF the world mas not
been confined to the present generation.
Hundreds cf years ago many odd wagers
were made as a hunt through a number
OF old books showed.
The old English law forced bettors to
pay their debts. A remarkable action
was brought in 1912 by the Rev. B. Gil
bert against Sir Mark M. Sykes. The
baronet, at q dinner party IN his own
house, in the course of a conversation on
the hazard to which the life OF Bona
parte was exposed. offered on receiving a
hundred guineas, to pay one guinea day
as long as Napoleon should remain alive.
Mr.. Gilbert closed with Sir Marx. and
sent the one hundred guineas. and the
latter continued to pay the guinea day
Tor nearly three years
AT last he declined to pay any longer,
and an action was brought to enforce the
payment. 1t was contended by the de-
fendant that he had been surprised into
the bet by the clergyman hasty accept
ance of it. and that the transaction was
an illegal one, seeing that Mr.. Gilbert,
having beneficial interest in the life of
Bonaparte. might, in the event of an in
vasion, use all means for the preserva-
tion of the life of an enemy of his country.
The jury loyalty brought in verdict
for the Defendant.
Another queer wager is said to have
been won by Sir Walter Raleigh from
Queen Elizabeth on the debatable ques-
pound of tobacco. A pound of the ar
ticle was weighed, burned. and the
weighed aeaIn in ashes, and the questlo n
was held to be satisfactorily settled by
determining the weight of the smoke as
exactly thar of the tobacco before being
burned minus the ashes. The fact OF
the ashes having received an additional
weight by combination with the oxygen
OF the atmosphere vas unthought of by
Elizabeth and the knight.
An amusing bet for the small sum of
five shillings was laid in 1906 in the castle
yard. York, between Thomas Hodgson
and Samuel Whitehead as to which should

and recalling with charming gusto the
nerve OF so and so in standing to lose so
many tens of thousands OF dollars.
One bet that will always stick in the
heads of racing men was that made by
Mike Dwyer in the summer of 1891, when
"Old Bones Raceland ran mile and a
sixteenth against Tristan. 1t was the
first brace of the season for the latter
horse, and tor weeks previous Raceland
had been running true to the highest
kind of form, and was regarded as sure
winner. He was held at prohibitive rate
in the books, to II being the best price
obtainable. The public and nearly all
the regulars let the race alone. few
men, to pick up some sure money. put up
$1,000 to win $100, or 5000 to win $50. This
is the kind of bet that Mike Dwyer
fancies most. "Circular Joe" Vendlg.
his betting man, made several tours OF
the ring. and at post time had placed $685.
ono to win $4,000. 1t seemed like coming
money, and when the horses got off and
shouters agreed that Old Bones would
walk in. Rounding the stretch Raceland
forged ahead. and people turned away as
if the race were over. But at the last six
teenth pole Tristan came again under
whip and spur, caught up with and beat
the old horse at the wire a short head.
This was one of the most sensational
bets in turf history, owing to the immense
sum put against comparatively small
one.
Mike Dwyer was the partner in an
other bet of stupendous nature. 1t was
during the Cleveland Harrison campaign
of 1892, when Richard Croker made his
last political coup. Dwyer put up the
money and Croker the information, to the
tune Of $780, 600, and as they gave odds
their winnings aggregated 500. 900. They
bet even on Cleveland plurality in New
York state of 10000, and made bets of
S1Oo to $500 that he would carry the state.
Every night for two weeks prior to cleo
ton Vendig visited the Hoffman house
cafe. where all the betting was done. One
night ne placed S3S, 900 in various bets.
In the afternoon, before the betting be-
gan. he and Mr. Croker would have talk
in the little back room of Tammany hail.
and there the chieftain would give him
the figures to bet on for the night. Many
people have often asked the question,
''Where did Croker get the money to buy
a racing stable?" He got $45, 900 of it in
election bets, and soon after the close of
that campaign he began to accumulate a
| fine stable.
Prince Hatzfeldt, the son-n-ldw of Col
lis P. Huntington, has made some large
The herald., 1895-07-21

bets. The one which attracted the most
attention occurred something over two
years ago at Saratoga. The prince went
against the roulette game in the big
club house. and as he was known to have
a rich pa-in.law. he was allowed to play
heavily on memoranda. The dealer was
told to trust him to $40, 900, but not cent
more. One night the prince called early.
according to the story that was told at
the time, and after an hours play was
$1,000 winner. He left the club and re-
turned about midnight for another bout
with the tiger. He lost steadily. and at
2 o'clock in the morning was $40, 900 to
the bad. He wanted to keep on playing.
but the dealer refused. Mr.. Spencer, then
proprietor of the club, was hunted up.
but he said not to go beyond the Sic. 600
limit. Then the prince got mad, and 1T
is said picked up chair and smashed
the delicatelly balanced roulette wheel in
to small bits. That was one way OF get
ting square.
Pat Sheedy is credited with having
broken mora banks than any man in the
country. One of his most famous coups
took place in John Days Twenty-ninth
street game, when it was running some
years ago. Sheedy IS believer in "6ul-
ling your luck" when winning, and ne

and heroic measures are now being adopt
ed to place HIM in immediate range OF the
public gaze.
Here is his latest move to rivet atten-
tion upon himself. While not a grand
achievement, viewed in comparison with
the doings of great men. it Is emihently
satisfactory to the young swells who have
nothing to do but think up means where
by they can spend their large incomes.
A month ago Royal Phelps Carroll, tie
young man who achieved fame two sum-
mers ago by taking his yacht Navanoe
abroad and racing her against the Prince
of Wales boat, returned from trip to
the other side. There was nothing re-
markable about tliis,as many young swells
are continually crossing the ocean, but
Mr.. Carroll electrified his friends at the
various clubs of which he is a mem ber
when they observed the style of cigarette
he smoked.
The cigarette was of the fat Egyptian
kind. and it's regularity was an orna-
menta tion in gilt on the paper wrapper.
First came the monogram of the owner,
with the letters "R. p. c." nicely en-
twined. Then came the full name neatly
printed in small Roman capitals. and be-
low this was the crest OF the Carroll fam
ilv, which is more authentic than the
crests of some of the other reigning fam
lilies, as it was brought over by the first
CAROLS to settle in Maryland
The fact that Royal Phelps Carroll
smoked a cigarette of this kind was
abundant proof to the swell mind that 1T
was strictly good form. For. during his
yachting experiences IN English waters,
Mr.. Carroll not only shook the hand
that shook the hand of the prince, as was
the case with George Gould. but actually
shook the hand OF Wales direct. This
great distinction has placed Mr.. Carroll
on pedestal of a height that the bravest
of ordinary swells scarcely hopes to reach.
A single Egyptian firm enjoys mo,
nopoly of making these cigarettes, and
it should speedily grow rich out of the
orders lavshed upon it. Most of the New
York swells order their cigarettes in lots
OF 5000 through New York agent of the
foreign firm. The cost of 5000 is $40. or
three and two-thirds cents each, Ordered
by the hundred the price is IS. or five
cents apiece.
OF course this is trivial sum. to the
rich man of today. but the quantity os
cigarettes consumed by the ambitious
dude is prodigious. In the first place,
when he receives the cigarettes on his
