New York Letter in Chicago Record
Mr.. George Gould caused il TO become
known through the avenues that he usual
ly selects for personal and family an
nouncements that his younger brother.
Howard, docs not intend to marry Kathe-
rine Clemmons, the pretty actress to whom
he gave such a gorgeous dinner the other
day, and who has been his companion on
several journeys by land and sea The
newspapers would have il that the Christ
mas feast there was TO be a formal an
nouncement of their betrothal, and plates
were laid al the able for Mr.. and Mrs
George Gould 10 signify their approval
of the marriage But Mr.. and Mrs. Gould
did not appear and the announcement
was postponed. Mrs, Gould was herself
an actress, but her reputat ton was spot,ess
and she never occupied suit of luxurious
apartments al one of the most expensive
hotels in the world for months at q time
at the expense of her lover She was rec
ognized and received in society before her
marriage as cordially as after, and no
breath of scandal ever touched her, while
Miss Clemmons has been the heroine of
a great many newspaper stories and no
end of society gossip. Therefore, the OBJ
lection of Mr.. and Mrs. Gould to their
brothers. choice is natural, and Miss Helen
Gould, who feels great solicitude for the
moral and social welfare of her brothers.
has been decidedly opposed to the associa-
ton from the beginning.
IL was a wise provision OF jay Goulds
will that made his sons and daughters
censors of each others matrimonial rela-
tons. If any of them marry without the
consent of the rest he forfeis his share
in the estate and becomes dependent up-
on their generosity As Howard Gould
cannot obtain the benediction of his elder
brother and sister upon his union with
Katherine Clemmons he win continue to
pay her board and dressmaker's bills
without the Intervention of the clergy. but
the attorneys of the Gould family desire
the public 10 believe that he has abandon
ed the idea Of marriage only because he
does not wish 10 place Miss Ciemmons "in
a false and unpleasant position" by max
ing her his wife.

STEAMSHIP GAMBLING.
Games of Chance at Sea Not What
They Once Were.
From the Chicago Record.

FROM the 0nlGdEO hecOIu.
washington, Dec. 26.-There is little
gambling on the ocean nowadays compar-
ed with the past. The biggest games in
the United States were played upon the
Mississippi boats. and there has been some
heavy betting on the Atlantic liners, but
it became such scandal that the steam
ship companies were obliged to stop it.
There is always a small game OF poker GO
ing on in the smoking room, and occasion
ally a game of hearts or whist, a shilling
corner, and it is customary for the pas
sengers on the ocean liners TO sell pools
every evening on the next days run.
The time and distance are reckoned each
day, and the result is posted at the head
of the companion way opposite the main
saloon. The big greyhounds of the sea
make from 400 TO 500 miles according TO
wind and weather, but nobody but the
captain and the chief engineer knows how
fast the ship is going. They can calcu-
late its speed with amazing accuracy by
taking the course OF the wind and the rev
olutions of the wheel but with the pas
sengers il is all guessWork. OF course the
judgment Of an experienced Traveller who
knows some thing of the art of navigation
and the phenomena of the sea is much bet-
ter than that of lubber who is afloat for
the first time. but the latter is quite as
likely to hit IL as a matter of fool luck
and everybody has a chance to try. So
the sportive men, and those who think
they know and have money to back their
judgment, and those who crave excitement
70 vary the monotony Of the voyage. meet
IN the smoking room after dinner every
night and buy numbers at auction. Every-
body can learn from the captain or from
the mates or from the doctor that the shin
is making eighteen or nineteen knots an
hour. which will give her a speed of from
425 to $50 miles or thereabouts for the d9v
so the fayorite numbers are between those
two extremes.

TWO PREACHERS ROBBED
The Parsonages Entered by Burglars
This Week

For some reason, perhaps to conceal its
incompetency, the police detective depart
ment has suppressed the fact that several
burglaries have occurred within the present
week. Citizens who have been resting in
the belief that no criminals were in the city
would do well to be more careful in the fu-
ture, as a gang of very daring burglars
seems to be at work.
The first burglary occurred last Sunday
night, and the residence of Rev. G. Runkel.
pastor of the German Lutheran church,
was entered The residence is situated at
| No. 75l South Flower street. The family
was absent at church and the thieves se-
cured entrance during this time. The wire
screen to the rear porch was first cut and
the burglars got through into the pantry,
but the heavy door prevented further in
gress, so the thieves had to try another
section of the house. They went to tho
front door and there smashed the plate glass
| in the door and, turning the knob, opened
the door. All the rooms were ransacked
and things turned about in great confusion.
But So was secured.
The residence of Rev. Warren f. Day
at $40 South Hill street was entered on
Wednesday night. Mr.. Day is the pastor
of the First Congregational church, and the
family was absent at prayer meeting. The
burglars evidently were the same individ-
uas who went to the parsonage of Rev.
Runkel, for the rear door was first attacked,
the screen being broken. As entrance could
not be secured from this section of the
house, move to the front was made. The
plate glass in the door was broken, the latch
turned and the thieves were soon inside.
Whether they lighted the gas to allay suspi-
cion from the outside while they were at
work or turned the gas on as joke just
before leaving cannot be positively said, but
in any event when Mr.. and Mrs. Day re-
turned they found nearly every room in
the house brilliantly illuminated. They were
not long in learning what the light meant.
The house had been thoroughly ransacked,
bureau drawer opened and their contents
| flung on the floor. The contents of clos
cts Uttered many Of the rooms. The most
expensive article taken was a diamond ring
belonging to Mrs. Day. A handsome copy
of the famous painting "Taj Mahal' was
also carried off The loss will amount to
5000. This makes the sixth attempt burg
lars have made to rob the house of Mr.. and
Mrs. Day and the third attempt which has
been successful. Both robberes were re-
ported to the police.
