.BLUFFED THE KING OF COREA,
An American Electrician Who Found
a Way to Collect Salary.
Disconnected Electric Light and Terribly
Frightened the King-Coreans
Treated to a Yankee Trick.

The only American in the SER
vice of the King of Corea, who was
paid up promptly at the beginning
of the war troubles was the Kings
electrician, Thos. W. Power,
young Washington man, who was
just about completing the putting
of an electric light plant into the
palace. His Majesty is very much
afraid of assassination. He has
two great palace cities, each of
which contains between 500 and
1000 acres of buildings and which
are about two miles apart. Mr..
Power had put 1000 incandescent
lights into these palaces, and
hundreds of them are kept blazing
from 5 o'clock in the evening until
6 o'clock in the morning. His
Majesty does all his business at
night, and he never sleeps in the
dark. He goes almost crazy if he
doesn't have light, and his stu
alton is really so dangerous that he
can't afford to do without it.
The light plant which has been
put in is one of the finest in the
East. 1t came from America and
was so we'll put up by Mr.. Power
that one of the dancing girls could
have run it. The Coreans, in fact,
had been managing the machinery
for several weeks, and the officials
thought that the light was COM
plete, and those to whom the King
had handed the money for Mr..
Power held it back and refused to
give it to him. He protested and
waited for a few days. They
showed no signs of paying his
salary until, at last, one night
when the King was in the midst OF
his state business with his
officials about him, the lights
went out. Couriers were
at once dispatched to the
plant, and the Coreans in charge
were asked what was the matter.
They could not tell. They pointed
to the machinery. 1t was running
beautifully, but there was no light
Mr.. Power, 1 was told, had merely
disconnected the dynamo by tax
ing out a hidden screw, which left
the wheels running as usual but
which produced no light. The
King was enraged at his officials,
but not at Mr.. Power. He knew
nothing about the salary having
been kept back, but he simply told
the high Corean noble who had
charge of this department that il
the light was not at once produced
his head would be chopped off
This would necessitate the cutting
off of other heads, and within an
hour Mr.. Powers money was In
his hand and he had lot Of
Corean mobiles on their knees about
him begging him to use his magic
and bring the light back to the
King. He held off for time, but
was finally persuaded, and having
turned the Coreans out of the light
plant, he inserted the screw, and
presto the palace blazed with
electricity. There was no trouble
after this about Mr.. Powers salary
and he steadily grew in influence
He had charge of the Kings ar.
mory, and repaired his gattling
guns. He was about to build an
electric railway from Seoul to the
Han river, when the present rebel
lion broke out, and everything
stopped.

BETS BY NODDING.
The Way wagers Are Made at Gravesend
 Under the New Law

Under the New Law.
 NEW YORK, May 1S.-All business at the Gravesend race track is now transacted "on the nod" excepting at the gate and lunch counters. At each of these places it is cash or git" Owing to the request of the Jockey club asking tho association to 1.-Two up to the letter of tho law, evory bookmakor was asked as he entered the gate by Mir. PinkortOn not to mako cash bets and not to take or pay money to any one. Every one but one or two complied. Mir. Heineman, however was seen to tako money for wager, and when spoken to said others were doing tho same thing. He was asked to point the mon put, and he did so and they were stopped by Mir. PinkertOn, as was Mir. Heineman
 Many of the hackers who wero not known, hearing the order placed various amounts of money with the boukmakcrs before the races started, and they then did holding" business with tho mon who held the+S money, and this system worle like charm. This is tho Way tho spccu- lating element will do business in the flu turo Tho larger bookmakcrs will havo offices in town, and any ono going to tho races may go to either one of these offices and leave what money ho chooses, and credit will bo Givon him for that amount.
 Whom ho gets to tho track, he will be able to wager with tho bookmakcr so long as his credit holds good. should he run out his string ho can rCplcnish his bank account on the spot if he chooses. Settle mcnts will be made at the offices of the l bookmakCrs tho day after tho races. The idea is voted a good ono, and will answer tho purpose, it is thought, until such timo aS cash transactions arc in vogue again.
