HORSEMEN ARE PLEASED
Encouraging Prospects for the
Great Falls Races.
A SUIT is THREATENED
1t Is Said That Bliss VIII Institute In
junction Proceedings Two
OF His Jockeys We're Not
Allowed to Ride.

Great Falls. Sept. 1s.-To-day the
horsemen are taking a rest and talking
over the prospects for the meeting here.
All of them seem to be very well
pleased with the meeting of yesterday.
which. under the circumstances, was
very encouraging. There is but one un-
fortunate feature outside Of the death
here early this morning of Lee Shaner.
and IL is this: At the beginning of the
races IL was arranged that all of the
merchants in the city would close their
places of business during the afternoon
and reopen for a while after 6 O'Clock.
The banks agreed to do this and have
done so, but the merchants found that
all of their number save one establish
ment were willing to enter into the
agreement. This firm refused to close,
and as its business is somewhat peculiar
the other merchants felt that they could
not afford to close while a rival remain
ed open. This particular piece of mar
row-mindedness will work a hardship
not so much on the merchants as upon
their clerks. who thus lose all opportun-
ity to witness the best races ever held
in this county or any adjacent county.
The same firm, while probably making
10 times as much out Of the races as any
-. other firm In the city. it is said refused
' positively to donate any sun whatever
To the guarantee fun of the associa-
ton. The above facts are given by the
of the fair and races and
the incident has caused not a little talk
and Indignation about town.
Yesterday evening the management
stated that they had been threatened
with an injunction suit by Mr.. Bliss.
As near as can be learned, the gentle
] mon N-hn hos n string of hnTopG here
has in his employ two hurdle riders who
have been barred from every associa-
ton track in the country. When Mr..
Lawrence. who is practically In control
Of these races, the association believing
that It was not possible to get for that
position a man who was squarer and
better qualified. arrived in the city, he
and the management talked the races
over and IL was thoroughly understood
that not only was there to be no crooked
work on the track. but that every posi-
BILE suspicion Of such things was 20 be
avoided. Mr.. Lawrence would not ac-
cept the position of presiding judge un-
der any other circumstances n the as
ISOLATION would not hav him. Accord
ingly Mr.. Bliss was told that his dis
qualified Jockeys would not be allowed
to ride here any more than at Butte
and Anaconda; Great Falls did not pro-
pose to allow the slightest cloud to rest
on its start in the racing world. Then
came the threat OF an injunction. The
association is very firm in the matter
and will fight the case to the end rather
than permit the Jockeys to rid under
existing circumstances. 1t IL unfortu-
nate that the difficulty has arisen, ana
il hardly seems possible that for the
sake of participating In two hurdle races
Mr.. Bliss will persist in his demands.

ORIGIN OF PLAYING CARDS.
They Were Used by the First Egyptians
for Revealing Destiny.

From the Nashville American.
The origin of cards was the Book
of Thot." or tarots, a work OF primitive
Egyptian lore. These tarots consisted
of rs thin plates of gold. the purest n
finest known to antiquity, upon which
were traced h~ieroglyphics, or mysteri-
Gus characters. the explanation of which
was daily made to each family by Its
head as embodying revelations of des-
tiny. That book was the only relic OF
Egyptian lore which escaped the wrath
of the Caliph Omar when that Moham-
medan zeal0t caused the burning OF the
celebrated library at Alexandria.
The Alexandrian Jews regarded the
book only as secondary to their mystic
rious Cabella. The Greeks next OBJ
tanned it. and the Arabs regarded the
original form of the golden plates with
a holy reverence. When the moors
founded the kingdom Of Granada In
Spain they brought with them the YES
tiges Of the mystic work which had
persisted In the east and had been de
barred entrance into Europe during
the continuance Of that gloomy reign
Of persecution designated as the DARK
ages. From the Moor IN Spain the
continent Of Europe received the Book
OF Thot." and at the close Of the four
tenth century cards had become a
popular amusement. With the Germans
they formed an important commerce.
and France soon followed. establishing
factories for the production Of cards
at Lyons. Colmar and Belfort. But
they suppressed the sense Of the orig
inals by replacing the signs with others
OF their own Invention. The Book OF
Thot' was composed Of IS tarots, OF
