GAMBLING ON THE AVENUE.
He Was Credited with Being the Most
Desperate Player In Gotham.

From the New York World: Mid
night on Eighth avenue. The roar OF
the Saturday night traffic had ceased,
and only here and there fakir lin
gered with the hope of catching some
belated customer
In a spacious and brilliantly lighted
room, shaded by cigar store in 'front.'
sat two men deeply absorbed in cards
The elder of the two had the hard,
inscrutable features that belonged to
the professional gambler. and the
heavy chain and Alaskan diamond pin
proved him successful one.
The other was two or three years
ounger-almost a youth in years
and showed by his delicately moulded
face and nervous manner that the
scene was strange to him.
What do you do?" said the elder in
hard tones, as he saw the younger hes
itate.
I'll open it for ten," said the youth
with the nervous excitement Of one
who held two pair.
Ten better" said the elder, with the
air of one who is running bluff.
The youths face grew deathly pale
as he slid in five whites and a red, and
his hand trembled when he saw the
elder take two cards. The youth took
but one.
do your betting" said the elder in
the same hard tones as before.
Il chip" faltered the youth.
Raise You ten," said the elder.
Again the youth grew pale as he saw
the bet and called.
What have you got?" asked the
elder, bending upon his antagonist a
pair of piercing eyes.
"a queen full"
-Four deuces here" said the elder,
as he laid down his hand, with the
jack of hearts carefully covering the
center spot in the trey Of diamonds.
Ruined! Ruined!" mOaned the
youth. as he rose from the table and
staggered through the door
Now much are you ahead, Shar-
key?' asked the proprietor when the
youth had gone.
Zone dollar and seventeen cents"
said Sharkey, for it was indeed he, the
most desperate and daring gambler on
the avenue.

tracks Extend for More Than 5000
Miles.

From st. Petersburg to Vladivostok
the tracks extend for 5000 versts. more
than 5000 miles, and about eleven
times the distance from Paris to Mar
sellles, says the International Maya
zine. The French traveller, as he pass s
through our provinces on his way from
Paris to the Mediterranean, cannot sub

OF his country. What then must be

their locomotives carry them from St

years ago, is only $50 miles long It
seemed then as if it would be difficult
indeed to exceed such a record for
work, as tracks G,000 miles long, cross
ing two continents at a stretch, are not
numerous on our planet. The real head
of the line is al Tcheliabinsk. the first
large Siberian city one reaches after
leaving Moscow, the trip between the
two cities taking eighty hours. The
rails are actually laid as far as Minis
udinsk. Just beyond Krasnojarsk, in
central Siberia, which IS half the en-
tire distance. The journey to Tchelia-
binsk, the actual terminal point. con-
sumes from 200 to $50 hours. There
has not been as yet much traffic along
this road, but western Siberia has had
regular train service for a long time
There are trains running east and west
three times a week and stations have
been erected all along the line. which
are tending very rapidly to promote
commercial life. The trains are well

The seeds or stones OF many fruits
which would apparently seem useless
have some economic value, and in this
CONGESTION we are speaking chiefly OF
those which are often thrown away,
passing over many that are applied 10
ornamental uses. In certain parts OF
Egypt the date stones are boiled to
soften them, and the ca,geIs aud cat
tie are fed upon them. They are cal
cined by the Chinese. and are said TO
enter into the composition OF their In
dian ink. In Spain they are burnt ant
powdered for dertifrice. and vegetable
ivory nuts are said to he applied TO the
same purposes. Some species Of At
tafea nuts are burned in Brazil to

RENIVISG.

While the people of the Head Of the
Lakes are not as yet experiencing to any
great extent the benefits of a revival
OF business, there is no doubt that the
nation at large is slowly but surely re-
covering its old time commercial activ-
ity and prosperity.
While we do not claim that the pass
nge of the Dinghy Bill is the primary
there is no denying the fact that it has
much to do with it. Before its passage
Il fee ing of uncertainty and uneasiness
prevailed; since its passage that uneasy
feeling has passed away, capitalist know
what to expect for four years at least,
and are setting the mill wheels IN mo-
ton In the East cotton mills long idle
are resi1ming, owing to the protection
given under the new law, and it is re-
ported that manufacturers in England
are about to remove their plants to this
country in order to be able to compete
with American manufacturers in the
markets of the world Bank failures
have ceased, which is another good
sign of returning prosperity and an
assurance that it will continue as all
the weak and rotten financial institu
tions have gone to the wall.
But the most agreeable of all the signs
Of returning prosperity is the increase in
the price of wheat and the large har-
vest being garnercd all over the coun
try. For the large harvest, Of course,
We have to thank providence and the
hnsbandmen, but for the increase OF
business confidence, which has much

wheat, the Republican party deserves
