The Illegally of Poker.

The police have now brought to the no.
tee Of the court q case in a cafe of
Paker, in which two lawyers, two manu-
facturers and man of private means are
involved. The case, which was at first
carried before the single Judge. WAS very
amusing. The judge called upon two per-
sons IN the court. not connected with The
charge, 10 listen to an explanation of the
rules of poker. They were then ordered
to play the game before the Judge in
court, that he might decide how far
chance was involved in it. The two law
yers charged are highly indignant with
the police for having made examples of
such respectable persons as themselves
and their partners TO test the illegality Of
poker. One of them caused much amuse-
ment by declaring that the police them
selves played the game. Another in
CURED of the two Independent persons Sc
lected to play in court if they had ever
played poker before, and were answered
IN the affirmative, whereupOn the attor-
ney for the accused party demanded the
citation of these two gentlemen before the
court. This the judge refused, as the
Austrian law prohibits the punishment of
gamblers who betray themselves and 9th
ers. Finally the judge decided that
poker is a game of hazard, and fined each
player q sovereign. Fortunately no for

TRAN law he would have been expedited

course, be referred to the appeal court,
and as other judges must also consider
the question, it will probably be several
years before the legality or illegality of
poker is decided. Till then the police au-
thorities have forbidden poker in public
resorts, but in private houses the game
will go on more furiOusly than ever,
famed by police opposition.-Nienna cor

THE EMANCIPATED WOMAN.
France and Italy Beginning to Grant
the Sex Concessions

france and Italy beginning TO GranC
the Sex Concessions
Although continental Europe knows no
such freedom of the female sex as is to be
found in this country, and even IN Eng
land, still the emancipated woman is be-
ginning to be a fact IN some countries.
This is notably true of France and Italy.
In the former country a snort time ago
women were permitted to act as witnesses
in legal sense and to sign wills and
other legal documents. They are now to
be allowed to take part in the admins
tration of the charities and hOspitalitles
in Paris, being made eligible for the high
er council of the assistance publque.
This concession has been extended to the
sex who have contributed most largely to
the charitable funds, and have taken part
in hOuSe-t0-hOuse vista tons, after re-
port by DR.. NapiaS, who eulOglzed the
work of women in connection with the
administration Of charity in England and
the United States. He held up a good
model to France, Miss Florence Nlghtin-
gale, and the government Of the Paris
charities considered that France also
could produce Florence Nightingales if
they gave their women a chance IN the
work of organization.
Women are beginning to show their
political influence in Italy. The influence,
though great is not however, always APP
directly and privately by the women Of
the wealthier classes. Instead of form
ing themselves into associations and
leagues, and international unions, and or
ganizing public meetings and competing
with political orators, the Italian women
interested in politics work quietly, and
certainly not less etticaciously than their
more "emancipated'' sisters. AS a rule
Italian women work by means of the
French expedient, the salon. In Rome
alone there are no fewer than dozen
salons devoted almost entirely to the dis
cussion of political topics. Each salon
has its own special political COLOR"
which is generally that of the husband or
father, or friends of the mistress of the
house, but. while the thread and web of
the politics carried on in salon is spun
and woven by the men who frequent it.
the personal influence of the mistress of
the house acts on each one of her guests,
modifying views. and sOftening, or it
may be accentuating, the roughness of
ambition. The Italian government seems
to think that SO long as women confine
their political activity to the salon they
are not likely to become dangerous.-New
York Post

Humming Bird Ornaments.

The poor humming birds! Their rich
colors and bright ornaments make them
a tempting prize to the lovers of gaudy
fashions. Vast numbers are slaughtered
in Mexico and South America, being
killed with fine shot or caught with nets
and line. On account of this ruthless
destruction, some species are said to be
on the verge of extinction, and , Of
course, it will be the most beautiful Kinds
that will be exterminated first. At a sale
held in London more than 10000 hum
mer skins We're disposed Of, and in one
week 100000 hummers and other Ameri-
can birds were sold in London at auc-
ton. And all for what-to decorate

slaughtered birds in her hat will go into

Strategic Value of Porto Rico

Frederick A. Ober writes an article
for the Century on THE Island of Porto
Rico" Mr. Ober says:
Until it was discovered that Porto Rico
possessed great value as a strategic cen
ter" of naval operations, the fair isle
slumbored undisturbed, merely a link.
and no important one, in the emerald
chain that separates the Atlantic and the
Caribbean. Suddenly naval folk became
aware of its Importance; they saw that
while it borders on the Caribbean sea, yet
it breasts the rough Atlantic waters that
is is equidistant, or about a thousand
miles, from Key West and Colon; from
New York fifteen hundred miles. which
is half the distance from Cadiz; thirteen
hundred from Newport News, which is
half the distance to the Canaries. 1t lies
in fact, at the very point that we should
have selected for a coaling station, had
we unrestricted choice of location. All
the arguments that have been advanced
for the acquisition OF the island of ST.
Thomas, sixty miles distant, and for
which at one time we were almost ready
to pay seven million dollars, apply with
tenfOld force to Porto Rico. with its six
good harbors to the one of St. Thomas
and its commercial as we'll as strategical
potentfalities.
