SO many aliases that no one knows pre-

cTetly marking the cards with his nails.
which he did so quickly and c~leverly that
once a pack had passed through his hands
ne could almost invariably identify the
cards by his acute sense Of touch.
his occasional failures We're resultant
or the suspicious aroused by his Won
Cerful luck rather thar by any weak
points in his methods, and no one ever
satisfactorily decided how he manipu-
lated the cards to such personal advan.
tage. until one day. when intoxicated, he
disclosed some OF his secrets. During one
Atlantic trip he fieeced three young men
on an aggregate sum of nearly $25, 900, and
on another occasion, when posing as a
BRITISH army officer, he succeeded, with
out %arousing any suspicion, in cheating
one OF u congressman outapf a consid-
erably larger sum.
One difficulty with the single-handed
sharper has occasionally to face is the
presence on board of a 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. &
A friend of the writer tells an anecdote
OF the kind. He was crossing from New
York to Southampton, and among his fell
low passengers were two men he had pre-
Viously met, and lost o to, in gam
bling houses in New York. In his own
miro he had no doubt they were profess
sional sharpers. and he cautioned many
fellow passengers against them.
At first he believed they were working
as confederates, but one day, much to his
surprise, he found them playing together,
evidently unconscious Of each others pro-
fession. Whether theirs methods Of play
ing We're similar no one could tell, but as
the play proceeded ZACH of them became
more and more restless. Neither won
much, but both played with the utmost
caution.
At last one man threw down a king,
whereupon his adversary, doubtless fan
cying for the ome that the card was
the knave, threw down a second king
of the same suit. Each rose to his feet
and Indignantly charged the other with
cheating. Strange to say, both were right
in their accusations, for the real king Of
the suit was among the cards upon the
table. which an onlooker snatched up
and examined the moment the sharoers
had thrown down their kings.
Such painful incidents are very rare.
for these gentry know each other well as
a rule.
The pet prey of these men is the unso-
phisticated youth with more money than
hrains-they generally travel. The result
is that many a young man who leaves
port with an ample purse finds himself
compelled to cable home when the ship
in which he is travelling touches the ar
rival port for further funds.

GAMBLERS on OCEAN LINERS.

It is deplorab,e that so many profess
sional thieves should be able to so easily
make happy hunting grounds Of some of
the finest passenger vessels afloat, but
thGre is no question about their doing so.
The fact is certainly due more to the
ovcGk's ingenuity and experience in dis
auise than to lack Of vigilance on the
Part of the steamship companies. who go

THE DEMAND FOR DEWEY,

the conclusion of peace in the Philip

assisted by the mayors of Seattle, Ia

the admiral to return by way of San
Francisco, so that the west may accord
TO him proper recognition. New York has
also cabled for him to make his first
landing in that city, so that proper
homage could be paid to his greatness.
1t now looks as if Mr.. Dewey will have

and the west as to which section of the

city of Washington his objective point
