There was time 10 the history Of these
Cnited States when there was = good deal
OF heated discussion as to whether thew
were singular or plural. To . good many
critical minded gentlemen 10 seemed that
the whole question whether we are a nation
or mere confederation OF states hung on
the decision OF that point. and being ardent
advocates Of the national theory they were
very strenuous in Insisting on the singular
form. In their eyes It was little less than
reasonable to use the collective noun with
the plural form Of the verb, to say the
United States are instead Of the L nited
States Is.
As the point was not deemed by anybody
else worth guarreling over those who based
their claim OF nationality on the assertion
Of singularity had it all their own way;
but the question has now been decided BY
an indubitahle authority and against the
singularists. In case recently argued
before the supreme court OF the United
States, Justice Field referred with empha
sis and approval To the fact that the United
States in the constitution are spoken Of In
the plural, citing the third section OF art-
Gle 3, where it Is declared that treason
against the nirei States shall consist In
levying war against them, " OF In adhering
to their enemies, etc He cites also a.
still later authority in point Of time the
declaration in the thirteenth amendment,
that neither slavery nor involuntary servi-
tude, except IA a punishment for crime.
shall exist in the United States, or In any
place subject to their" Jurisdiction -

Ano6g Victims of the Gaming Habit
A slightly built, nervous man. with
dark mustache and beard, has for months
been an active worker among the various
city missions Of New York. Little In
known Of him. He rarely talks OF him
self. yet his ready sympathy and his ear
ncstness have made him . successful mis-
sion worker.
Night after night this man has fingered
about the doors of the up town clubs and
saloons In which gambling 10 carried on.
Many young man having little game
Of draw" has been approached by stran-
ger, whose manner has soon won his conf
dence. Probably before the night II over
that stranger has told him the story Of
une gamblers kfe and under its influence
secured promise from him never to touch
rards again. To rescue young men from
the evils of gambling Is the work to which
Henry Meyer Is devoting his life.
Meyer Is So years old and was born In
New York city, where his father was a
prosperous business man. He gave his
oldest son every advantage which money
could give and at Is sent him to Germany
to complete his education. He remained
there four years, then returning went ION
the road as a travelling salesman for Ave
years In 1888 he bought out a prosper
Gus stationery business in Pittsburs and
settled down. Young, well educated and
with plenty Of capital. his prospects were
Of the brightest.
Up to this time he had never touched
cards, and his first Introduction to the fas-
cinating pastehoards was In progressive
euchre at social party in March, 1884.
From this he found the way easy to So
cial game Of draw" and then to the reg
ular gambling houses.
He won, and his success added to the
fascination which the excitement Of gam
bling had for him. He neglected his bust
ness and finally gave it up to devote him
self entirely to cards. He went to Europe
and for nine years followed the career Of
q professional gambler.
He played in all the big cities on the
continent. Phenomenal success attended
him, but he saved nothing. The gam
bier Is not bad fellow at heart" he says.
He rarely sees one in want without cx-
tending aid, and getting his money easily
parts with it without too close inquiry as
| to how 1t goes.
1t was in Naples that he played one IA
nous game. He had been persistently fol-
lowed by titled gentleman who insisted
| on playing with him. But the stake on
| she gamblers part was to DO his life The
Italian was willing to stake his entire for
| tune against that. His hatred was intense.
| IL appeared later that two OF his best
friends had been ruined by Meyer, and
nothing but the latter's life would satisfy
him. At last, In desperation, Meyer nc
| ccpted his challenge and his terms.
II the Italian won, the gambler was to
blow out his brains at the time designated
| by the winner But the Italian did not
win. Meyers luck remained with him,
and his opponent rose from the table a
ruined man. His wife on the follow In

day appealed to the winner, and after she
had promised to keep her husband from
gambling again Meyer returned tn her all
the money her husband had lost.
1t WAS the one good act OF my profes-
sional career" he said in telling his story
to a New York Recorder reporter, and
that counts for but little"
After he had become professional
gamb ler his people had cast him Oft, and
during all the time he was abroad he had
not heard from home. One day in March,
1898, he was in Hamburg and intended
| to sail next day for New York He was
approached on the street by boyish look
ing young fellow, who said:
Excuse me, but you have been pointed
out to me as a man who has phenomenal
success at cards should be glad to test
your luck myself"
Meyer agreed readily and entered
gambling house. The two were soon seat
ed at table, with an understanding that
they should play until one was broke +"
Luck ran Meyers way almost from the
| start. His young opponent was plucky,
| though, and seemed to have plenty Of
money. From 3 o'clock To 4 the game
went on, and then the young man ; money
was gone. He had lost sl2, 900.
Il can get more and demand another
chance" he said
Very we'll" replied Meyer.
The young fellow borrowed s., 900 from
another habitue Of the place, and this,
too, was soon added to Meyers pile
Without word his opponent got up from
| the table and walked into an adjoining
room. Meyer, thinking no had gone to
get more money, waited. Then came the
| report Of pistol.
Il realized what had been done" said
Meyer In telling his story, and with an
| attendant rushed into the garden. There
lay my young opponent, pistol beside
| him. | bent over him to loosen his collar,
and as did so some letters and photo
graph fell from his packet.
The picture was that Of a woman, and

Necklaces in profusion were worn, and

were quite common, and tho wells were

MEN BREAK JAIL AT PERRY.

Perry, q. T, Aug 12-At o'clock
this morning two noted United States
prisoners broke out of the federal Jail
here. The names of the fugitives are
Ben Crsavens and Bill Crittendent The
latter if a half-breed Cherokee India n
and he and Cravens are claSSed as two
Of the most desperate men of the terri-

shalS Nix, Reid and a posse few days
ago six miles east of here. after a run
ming fight of six miles. At the time of
their capture the bandits had 100 head
of stolen cattle in their possession.
The men had a preliminary hearing
yesterday before Commissioner Tebbe
and were remanded to jail on failure
TO give $1,000 bond.
Late yesterday evening big Susan"
white woman who seems TO be a sweet
heart of Crittenden, was admitted to
the jail TO see the prisoners. When she
left she was heard to say that she
would get them ont, and it is believed
the woman sawed an iron bar of the
Jail in two. which permitted the men to
get out. There was a reward of $500
for CritJenden'S capture on a charge
OF murder in the Creek nation. a posse
of twenty men has been in pursuit of
the prisoners all day, and news reach
ed here at noon that a posse came up
with them twenty miles west OF here.
and Cravens was killed. Big Susan
