ANOTHER BLAZE.
RobinsOn's Undertaking Establish
 ment Catches Fire.

Five fires in the past thirty days" This is the remark that Gen. R. M. Knox made when approached by Graphic reporter this morning. Property belonging to the General in different parts of the city has burned on four different occasions within the past month, and the fire which started in the building occu- pied by Ralph Robinson, the under taker, on West Barraque street this morning, would have doubtless been the most destructive of them all, had not the flames been discovered in time.
 The porter who sleeps in the building, went into the store to re- tire about one o'clock this morning, but he was checked as he neared the rear of the building by huge clouds of black smoke which he saw were coming from the hole in the ceiling near the staircase. He immediate ly gave the alarm.
 The fire department responded promptly and soon had the flames extinguished.
 Mir. Robinscn's damages amounts to S150 or $200. Fully insured. Mr. Knox's building was damaged be- tween $50 and $75 worth. Some goods in R. M. knox's store were also damaged by water. They were also insured.

Several months ago Joe Cox, 8 trusted negro emp,oye of the Amer Excelsior Laundry Co, marri. ed Salie Martin, a high born color ed damsel. They lived happily for several weeks, or until Joe bought a broom for home use.

The home was continual trough house" and their faces soon became very conspicuous affairs at the po- lice court.
 One Saturday night Joe was walk jag on Main street in company with Ida Daniels, another employe of the laundry. Sallie saw the two and that was enough. She drew her razor and began to carve. The po- Ice interfered before any damage was done.
 Joe soon applied for a divorce and the knot was broken Tuesday by the court granting same. One day af- terwards, or on last night. Joe and the apple Of his eye, Ida Daniels, procured a marriage license, went to Parson Jim Jones' residence and the knot was tied, and today Joe is singing, Baby.

OCEAN GAMBLING.
Crooks Who Work the Unwary on
Atlantic Liners.

The Atlantic liners suffer much at the
hands of professional gamblers, who
cross the ocean more than dozen times
in year, living in the lap of luxury, for
no other purpose than to fleece the guilt
bic people among the better class passen-
gers.
One of the most successful Atlantic
Crooks was a man who served num-
Der of terms of Imprisonment and used
so many aliases that no one knows pre-
cisely what was his real name. His sue
cess was due to his marvellous skill in Sc
cretly marking the cards with his nails,
which he did so quickly and cleverly that
once a pack had passed through his
hands ne could almost invariably identi-
fy the cards Ivy his acute sense of touch.
His occasional failures were resultant
of the suspicious aroused by his wonder
full luck rather than by. any weak points
in his methods, and no one ever satlsfac-
-torily decided how he manipulated the
cards to such personal advantage until
one day, when intoxicated, he disclosed
some of his secrets. During one Atlantic
trip he fieeced three young men of an ag--
gregate sum of nearly $4,000, and on
another occasion, when posing as a Brit
ish army officer, he succeeded, without
arousing any suspicion, in cheating one
of our congressman of a considerably
larger sum.
One difficulty which the single handed
sharper has occasionally to face is the
presence on board of rival sharper
whom he did not recognize or suspect,
and this generally means bad times for
both, and sometimes great amusement
TO those passengers who care to watch
the card play.

Some interesting figures have been pub
lished as to the various salaries that are
paid to Canadian statesmen, from which
it appears that Dominion ministers have
salaries of $1,000 per annum, except the
premier, who gets an extra $1,000. The
senators are appointed for life by the
crown. They are 81 in number and are
paid seasonal allowances and railway
fares. The house of commons consists of
213 members, elected for five years, and
each member receives 81, 900 as sessional
allowance, with travelling expenses to and
from Ottawa, but he forfeits $500 for
every days absence beyond certain limit
