Of organization that VIII undoubtedly
be adopted and which makes provision
for Democratic success I'm this city AMI
county in the future.
The pan was adopted by the COM
nhttee of the bodies represented at the
meeting In the jefferson cll-b rooms
Thursday night. The committee met
yesterday afternoon at the club rooms
Messrs. Barton, Bell and Michael were
present, and with them were Messrs.
Lambert, Scanned, Eiierbe and Yoerg
The committee went carefully over the
proposed plan Of organ cation submit
ted at the meeting Of Thursday night
and printed In The G o b e Friday
morning. 1t was understood that the
gentlemen We're acting as individuals
and not on behalf OF the organizations
they represent, and the plan can only
be given sanction by the Democratic
party.
The articles submitted were adopted
as the report of the committee with
some minor changes. Articles 13, Ia
and 10 were changed so that there Is
no pledge of reward in the way of
offices and the rane of the organizat on
was changed from the Democratic City
ard County committee to tie Demo-
cratic City and County organization
this with an idea Of not attempting TO
usurp the rights Of the committees and
leaving TO room for kiekeTs.
The plan Will be submitted for action
at tomorrow nights meeting and there
is no doubt of its adoption and the
INN ediate formation of a ward and
precinct organization.
Other matters Of conside able impor-
tance will come before the meeting and
there will probably be a meeting OF
the jefferson club after the more inn
portant business is concluded.

FATE'S WHEEL TURNS.
An Inmate of an AImshouse Heir
to Fortune.

From the New York Press.
Bayard Clarkson, who, it is alleged,
is the most aristocratic pauper sup
ported by Bridgeport, and who has
been public charge for some months,
has received a letter at the almshouse
which conveyed the information that by
the death of a maiden aunt at Boston
he had become heir to 500, 600 He
is now awaiting further advices. The
poor authorities are also anxious about
his inheritance, for they expect to Sc
cure the payment Of the amount which
his maintenance has cost them.
Although a common pauper, Clark
son, II is said, can lay claim to posses
sion OF some of the bluest blood in
America. The late Thomas F. Bayard,
of Delaware, it is alleged, was his
cousin. On his fathers side ne is de-
scended from the Clarkson family in
whose honor, it is said, Clarkson street,
New York, was named.
Thirty years ago he married a Miss
De Peyster. A month after the mar
riage he left her and has since lived
alone. Once he had in his possession a
large tract Of land near Flatbush, l. L.,
but he sold it piecemeaf TO obtain
money for a life Of dissipation. A
valuable piece of New York property
went the same way. His wife has

POKER PLAYED BY DREAM.
Mr.. Brown Is Not SuperstItiOns, But
He Has Weakness

AO'1 biio OHtCdsO 1uNtI Octd0.
Brown always swore that he wasn't
superstitious, said Browns friend,
but I've seen him twist his second fin
ger around his first when he met a
cross-eyed man, and l know he has
conscientious scruples against going
under a ladder. The fact that he oc-
casionally gets up and circles around
his chair three times while PLAYING
poker may not prove anything but any
man who viii lay down a good hand on
account Of dream is open TO suspi-
cIon, and that's what Brown did
1t seems that Brown dreamed one
night Of having tilt with Smith
Smith opened a jackpot, and Brown
just hipped him once for luck He
held the eight nine, ten and jack Of
club, SO he had chances of filling either
a straight or a flush. Smith drew one
card-in the dream-and Brown, Of
course, did likewise. He pulled the
queen Of clubs. Smith seemed TO have
bettered, TOO and they had a nice little
tilt. When Smith called he showed an
ace full TO kings, and Brown woke up
just as he was raking in the pile.
w ell, ii happened that a few even
ings after this Brown and Smith We're
in the same game, and after a while
Brown opened pot with aces and
kings. The rest dropped out, all but
Smith, and he raised the limit. Brown
made good, and each man drew card
Brown got q third ace, and Smith
seemed to be pretty well satisfied With
his draw. Then Brown remembered
his dream. He held exactly the hand
that Smith had held in the dream,
and he broke out In cold perspiration.
:" Dreams go by contraries," he
thought to himself, and it's a cinch
that Smith has got my straight flush ,
Then he bet white chip, and Smith
came back at him with a limit raise,
and the limit was pretty high That

as the party organs put it when the
returns came in, the Gopher state has
settled down to the tranquil considera-
ton of its own business, severalIv. and
individually, and outside of those Re-
publicans who anticipate being turned
out by the governor-elect or his an
pointees, and those Democrats or Peo-
pies party voters who hope to become
the benefciaries of the turning out. the

shore Of a sea of troubles, but he is

Mr.. Lind proposes to end his sea Of

Thomas H. Clark, of Minneapolis
has been mentioned a possible an
pointee to succeed the present state
labor commissioner. Mr.. Clark has al
ways been prominent in the affairs of
organized labor, and although an en-
ployer Of labor himself, has the con-
hdence OF the union men, with whom
he has always maintained the most
friendly relations. He is not only ia
miliar with the subjects which were
embraced in the law creating the
bureau, but is a man of indefatigable
energy and considerable business abil-
ity. He was one of the prime movers
in the construction of the Minneapolis
labor temple, and when the building
association at last went into the hands
of a receiver. he became receiver, with
the enormous emolument of 500 a.
year. Mr.. Clark has been a hard
