LAUGHS IN HIS SLEEVE.
Charles Thompson Says the News
papers Have Been Wrong.


Charles Thompson, the gambler shot
through the right lung a week ago, was
sufficiently recovered yesterday to eX-
press a modest dislike for newspaper
notoriety. Yet, like many modest men,
he has shown a great interest in his
own fame. He sat UP yesterday after
noon ano continued reading the repor-
toriaI explanations of his own undoing.
He said the stofleS were all false. Even
those based ON his oWn statements in
the presence of death Were declared as
inaccurate as the tales of tbs attempt
ed murder within earshot Of Lieut.
Murphys little bronze policeman. Fhe
real facts says Mr. Thompson, viii
surprise the public. Qff
Nothing more has been heard Of Billy
Hoskins, the friend of Thompson. The
G o b was the first authority for the
statement that, save Thompson himself,
Hoskins knew more of the cifeum-
stances Of this shooting than anyone
else whose name has been mentioned.
Hoskins so cordially approves of the
statement that so far as can be learn
ed, he has not yet returned from the
trip on which he started Immediately
after reading the G o b e Monday
morning.

AIime for Wise Consideration.

Not few of those free silver senators
cannot hope to be returned to the Senate
on free silver platform and their terms
are nearing an end. Do they wish to
antagonize, not only their constituents
hut the country, and sacrifice all future
hopes of political prefermcnt for the sake
of the slight and wholly useless victory
there might be in having the Senate pass
a free coinage measure, after the country
has Enthusiastically pronounced for sound
money: 1t remains to be seen. 1t Is
noticeable, however, that they are not
pressing their measure just at present,
seemingly content with blocking other
legislation. But in this latter attempt
