The Young Woman in the Case Had Been
Accustomed to a Certain Price.
Again we are called upon the chronicle
the infinite superiority of the famous
Washington girl.
This time she has transferred the field
of her genius to New York City. where
the peopl ethink they know everything,
and about a thousand times as much
more, and then some more.
She had boarded a street car up town,
coming out of a store with her gloves off,
for some reason or other best known TO
herself. Possibly it was a glove store
Whatever it was she had her gloves off,
and it was proper and correct for her 10
have them Off, Or she would have had them
or.
There were not more than eight or ten
people in the car, and when she had taken
her seat she began to put her gloves on.
When they were both on she took out Of
her pocketbook a dainty little silk glove
buttoner. and proceeded to button the ona
on her left hand. In doing so the buttoner
slipped from her fingers and fell TO the
floor of tho car.
Immediately the chapDio-,oolting young
man with a. NUN VI NIibi tlAdI III MS lace
stopped to pick tho buttoner up. and hav-
ing got 1t in his hands, he rose, smiling.
and. much to her surprise, offered to but
ton the glove.
For an instant she acted about as the
average girl would have done, and then
the Washingtonian genius came TO her
aid, and smiling kindly, she held out her
hand to him in compliance with his re-
quest.
She sat perfectly unmoved as he took
about twice as long to it as there was
any need Of, and as soon as he had finished
1t she calmly held out the other.
He didn't quite expect this. evidently,
but he had his nerve with him, and more
smilingly than ever, he took her hand in
his and buttoned the other glove.
Taking the button hook from his unre-
sisting fingers. she took out her pocket
book to replace it, and finding in it a
! nickel, with the most innocent manner in
the world, she handed It to the young
man.
with all his nerve he couldn't stand
this, and ne promptly returned it, at tho
same time making some kind of protest.

CHINESE GAMBLERS,
Another Ingenious Point in Their Favo
Sprung Upon Judge Joachimsen.

Another Ingenious Point in Their Favor
Sprung Upon Judge Joachimsen.
Judge Joachimsen is having novel
points sprung upon him in regard to
Chinese gambling cases.
Attorney Richards, in the case of Woo
Bing, charged with visiting a gambling
place at S15 Washington street, argued
some days ago that it must first be proved
that the place was gam bling house and
second that the person went there for the
purpose of gam bling.
The Judge decided that the point was
not well taken, in view of recent decisions,
and ordered Woo Bing and forty-five
others to appear for sentence to-day, when
appeal papers will likely be filed.
Yesterday Attorney G. j. Campbell, in
the case of All Poy, charged with visiting
a gam bling place at 125 Waverly place,
sprang another point upon the Judge,
which he has taken some days to think
over.
Attorney Campbell contendad that sub
division 3 of section SO of the ordinance
1887, under which the arrest was made, was
unreasonable and void. inasmuch as it
made the penalty for visiting the same as
tor keeping or maintaining gam bling
house. be quoted numerous decisions in
support OF his content ton.
The subdivision reads that any person
keeping, maintaining or visiting any place
for the purpose of gam bling is liable upon
conviction TO a fine not exceeding $500 or
imprisonment for six months, or by both.

Race.goers to Ingleside yesterday were
treated to mild sort of a surprise in the
way of seeing q 200 to shot in the betting
ttep over the finishing line first. Don
Cara, q colt owned by Mrs. A. Archer,
whose string of victories is about as long
as an English pug dogs nasal appendage,
won the third race on the card at these
long ODDS. Outside of one fortunate specu-
lator he was scarcely nibbled at in the
ring, and after opening at 100 went 10 200
to 1. He was second to Emma D into the
stretch and then, gradually forging ahead,
beat the roam mare out neck, covering
the SIX furlongs in 1:15A. Olive finished
third, with the TO 20 choice Mobalaska
back in the ruck.
OF the other events decided, favorites in
the betting took three. The day was cold
and foggy, which initiated against very
fast time, though the track was in fair
condition.
Fashion Plate, filly by Racine, carry
ing Joe Harvey's colors and 80 to l in the
betting, came within a short head of land

up, was a consistent 6 to 5 favorite
throughout the betting, but never looked
dangerous during the running. Fashion
Plate led all the way, and after firing
about furlong from the wire, came again
and was beaten out the narrowest of
margins by the 2E 10 1 second choice
Florimel, carrying the Spreckels colors.
The six-furlong selling run that fol-
lowed looked a gift for Perhaps with
Shaw in the saddle, yet he was allowed to
drift back in the betting from to 5 to

jump, winning easily at the finish,

choice. Jack Martin, a II to shot, run

Willie Martin piloted the evenImoney

NEW TO-DAY.
CHANGED HER MIND.
Then Changed Her Body.

Some people fail to arrive at correct
conclusions because they are too hasty
and have to watch myself on that very
point" said lady. 81 said to friend
the other day that 1 didn't fancy the grain
coffee, Postum, although nearly ali nv
friends use it. We tried it once, but It
dldn' taste as good as [ had been told it
would, so We didn't serve il any more"
My friend asked pleasantly whether we
ever had trouble with our coffee or tea
and was told that now and then the coffee
was sloppy" OF burned, and occasionally
the tea was unfit TO drink, but then, you
know, said, We know coffee and Tea can
be made good, so it is some failure with
the cook II tney come to the table unfit.
"Ah, there's the point" my friend ex-
claimed. Now we have been using
Postum steadily for about year and we
know its magnificent qualities as a nour-
ishing beverage; but, mind you, have
seen II served at my table once%or twice
almost unit to drink, and we got one
package last summer that was overcoo ked
at the factory and was not good, but
which the grocer replaced; these Incl
dents do not change the fact that Postum
is delicious, healthy and nourishing
beverage, as proven day after day in our
family.
You should not hastily condemn new
thing upon one imperfect trial, as you de-
prive yourself of benefits which a fair test
would make yours"
"Tbese comments made an impres
sion, and, acting on her advice. 1
hunted up the package of Pos
tum, brewed some myself for breakfast
the next morning, and it really was as de-
lieious to my taste as high-grade coffee.
l noticed that morning that the heavy,
disagreeable feeling (usual after breakf fast
with coffee) was absent. This set me
thinking and wondering if it was true,
after all, that coffee did slightly poison
my liver and stomach and make me feel
so. | concluded to quit coffee and tea
while, yhow, and try Postum, and am
glad to say that for that. or some other
reason, l never felt better in my Ii fe tn an
l have since the change"
Just as good as Postum Cereal are
words used to defraud the public.
