A Former Police Captain Recalls Some Ex
pcriences. = fYf

81
Former Police Captain Thomas Reilly
was an inveterate poker player, says
the New York Herald, and, according
to his antagonists in the many games
in which he played small hand, he
was particularly good one, too. Capt.
Reilly tells many amusing stories Of the
poker games in which he has been a
participant, and dwells particularly
upon the natural bent of the rank and
file of the United States army to
"dally with the cards. when finances
will permit. Capt. Reilly was Q vet
eran of the war, having been in the
regular army for many years. He
served against the Indians on the West
ern frontier, and when the North and
South began their little unpleasantness
he went with his regiment to the South
and fought through the war.
Talking with party of friends the
other evening, the conversation drifted
around to poker and poker players, and
Capt. Reilly surprised his auditors by
the many stories he told about his ex-
periences when in the army.
"The main pastime in the army, >"
he said, twas. poker playing, and SO
long as the money lasted so long was the
game continued. I have seen an army

pay of the regiment would be in the
hands of five or six successful players,
who would be betting thousands lon q

would have the entire amount paid to
the regiment, and they would hold the
money until they neared some city
where, with leave for few hours, they
would venture away from camp, and
in nine cases out of ten leave the money

The reduction in salaries is equal to
40 per cent of the amount now paid.
After Mr.. Rossell Lad finished his ex-
PLANTATION Mr.. Cannon asked why the
heads of departments were to be APP
pointed by the mayor instead Of being
elected by the people, inquiring what
harm the latter course would make.
Mr.. Rossell replied that it was the
object of tho charter TO take politics
out Of the city government, and'for
that reason provision had been made
for appointing the department heads.
but he considered that there were
ample safeguards. as confirmation by
two thirds of Council was necessary
aud the mayor could be impeached by
the same body il he should overstep
the bounds of propriety. He thought
the city should be run on business
and not political basis.
Mr.. Cannon asked whether political
evils might not creep into the city
government under the proposed charter
which might be even more dangerous
than under present conditions, 10
which Mr., Rossell replied that he
thought such thing an imposibility.
Several politicians, including ex
Councilman Howard z. Stats, a
Union Republican, were present and
appeared TO enioy the discussion, which
Mr.. Rossell ended by telling his ques-
TONERS that the committee bad not
come before Council to engage in a
political controversy. but to inform
Council, as the representative body Of
the peunle.

THE CHILD REPT HER SEAT,
A Young womsn's Way Of. Circnmvsntins
mn Older Woman. @

New York Sun. ta
II is well understood that a pas
senger who has paid his fare in q
street car is legally entitled to hold his
seat until he reaches his destination.
Frequently young children for whom
no fare is demanded are seen occupy
ing seats beside their parents while
adult passengers are Obliged to stand.
A case OF this kind occurred on one of
the open cars in this city the other
day. Tho car had reached Ninth street
on its trip up town when it was
boarded by middle-aged woman, who
entered at the third seat from the
front. Every seat in the car was taken,
and at the further end Of the seat sat a
young woman and a little girl, who
might have been or years old. The
other seats in that row were filed by
three men. m
The child appeared to be greatly
pleased because. she was permitted to
have an end seat, and the young
woman. who was evidently the child's
mother, placed her arm about her little
ono to keep her from failing of. Before
the car had gone another block the
woman who was standing stepped up
to the younger woman and said:
Take that child up and let me sit
down therc!''
The young woman raised her hoad,
appeared to be surprised, but said moth
ing.
won't you hold that child on your
lap and let me have that seat?" con-
tinued the woman.
The attention of the other passengers
was attracted. fW
~ do not intend to ask you again
for that seat!h ~ added the woman,
raising her voice and assuming an air
of defiance. II have paid my fare and
have right TO sit. You know that
YOU paid no fare for her." pointing to
the child, "and children who do moi
pay fares cannot keep seats while older
persons stand. If you don't take that
child up I'll call the conductor aud
compel you to do so.'' ~
The conductor, who was on the rear
end of the Cur, overheard the con-
yerSation and came up to the seat.
Before anything more could be said
the child's mother took u nickel from
her purse and passed it to the con
ductor, saying: *
There's the fare for my little girl. =
Tho conductor went away. The
woman who had demanded a seat
looked very much crestfallen. All
Eighty fifth street, where the Sun re.
porter left the car, the persistent pas
senger was still standing and there was
no sign of vacant place on the third
sent. .t4

GOLF
The Secret of Iss Fascination and Pern,a-
nent Interest. ~

nent Interest. ~
Frank Leslie's. tt
There is a permanent interest in golf
because 1T is real game. and not a
mere amusement. There is nothing OF
actual sport in ordinary riding or in
the endless progression of the skating
rink. The game exists only in the
preliminary stages. After the beginner
has acquired the pedal mount, or the
art of skating past the band stand
without falling down, the keen edge
of his interest is quickly ,dulled.
There is nothing more to learn, no
higher level of skill to be attained,
except for the few who go in for track
racing or fancy figure skating, The
bicycle and the roller skate lost favor
not because everybody took them in.
but because it was quickly discovered
that they lacked the element of
genuine sport. "Love dies with the
kiss, y as We all know. "a
Coll is, then, genuine game, and
as such it must always have an interest
for the sportsman. One must reaily
enjoy a game, if he continues to play
1t. There were many who took up golf
two or three years ago out OF curiosity
or because it was the thing to do, but
such trifiers are not golfers. By another
season they will have deserted the links
for the box scat of an automobile, and
their accustomed bunkefs will see their
faces no more Not of such is the
kingdom Of golf as

TAKING LIFE MASKS.



Cleveland Pain Dealer.
One often observes when reading Of
the demise of celebrity that a mask
was taken by Mr.. So-and-So, the cele-
brated sculptor. soon after the death,
says the Strand, but really very few
people know how this is carried out.
They might have some idea that plaster
OF Paris is put over the dead mans
face, but there the idea ends.
A mask from life is taken almost pre-
cisely in the same way as after death,
save that much greater care has to be
used, as the subjects life hangs on a
very thin thread, or, to be more pre-.
else, two small quilts. 1t requires a
great deal of nerve and patience to
undergo. the sensation being most dis
agreeable. When mask from life is
about to be secured, the subject re-
clines on a long table, and towels are
placed around his neck and forehead,
to prevent the plaster going where not
intended. The face is slightly greased,
but not enough to fill the pores of tho
skin. Care has to be especially taken
with the eyelashes, as otherwise in the
subsequent operations these are likely
to be pulled off, which would not be
exactly pleasant.
a small quill is now inserted in,
| either nostril, to allow the subject to-
breathe through, and cotton wool lighted
pressed around the base, to keep tho
liquid plaster from intruding.
A pair of scissors is always kept
handy, so as to be able to cut off the
| tops of the quilts should by any chance
the plaster splash up and cover them.
All being ready, few cheering words
| are spoken TO the unhappy victim. and
the plaster is mixed. This is carefully
| poured or sprinkled over the features.
The plaster, through being mixed with
warm water, quickly hardens, and in
the course Of about FIVE minutes the
mold is strong enough to be taken of.
IL has to be carefully done, as the sub
iect is generally very eager to get a
mouthfu! of fresh air once again. A
! slight tap with the hand is given to the
two side pieces, which relieves the
joints made by the thread
The top or central piece is then lifted
up and pulled slightly downward, so
as to withdraw the quilts from the nose
as they come out with the mold. The
sides are then taken off. Probably
some of the hair may hold the mold,
but with little coaxing, or by the in.
sertion of the scissors, It can soon be
removed.
Care must be used to get the ears,
but without breaking either the sub-
] ject or the mold. The ears are only
taken on the front sides, cotton wool
being placed at the back, to prevent
the plaster going around. When re-
moved. the three pieces are put together
and plaster placed on the exterior, to
hold and strengthen them.

Fearful Voyage Of the 0iendower From
Philadelphia.

Fearful Voyage Of the aiendower From
Philadelphia.
New York, Jan. 10. The Atlantic
transport line steamer Menominee,
which arrived today from London,
brought to port Capt. Honeyman and
% members Of the crew Of. the British
tramp steamer Glendower, which was
abandoned at sea in a sinking con-
dition on January 18th, in latitude
23, longitude 3l.37, while on the
voyage from Philadelphia for Sligo
with cargo of maize.
The Glendower left Philadelphia,
December 9th, clearing the Capes of
the Delaware on the 25th. Shortly
afterwards the Glendower experienced
bad weather, the wind coming out
from the west and shifting to north
west with very heavy sea. On Janu-
airy I'd the storm increased and blew
with great fury. Enormous seas boarded
the vessel, during which Peter West.
able seaman, was washed overheard
and lost.
On the 9th the storm still continued
and it was decided to turn the ships
head around and face tho wind and sea
On the eth the steamer dipped her
stern. when an enormous wave broke
over her, washing everything before it.
The steamer filed rapidly. Every
effort was made by the crew to clear
the vessel but without success. The
pumps became choked with cargo.
Fortunately, on January 18th the Me-
nominee hove in sight, bore down,
launched her boats and rescued the
entire crew, consisting of % men and
their Scotch collie dog, and brought
them to port.
The Glendower was built at Yarrow
in 1882, registered /, 1855 tons, and was
owned by the Tyne Glendower Steam
ship Co.

RnEomA1IsM avn LYING.
A Physician Finds n Connection Between
the Two.

"aSAAhstun Stats
Rheumatism makes more liars than
any other disease said ~ physician,
though the people most affected by it
are unconsciously affected, as far as
their lying is concerned. Ordinarily
an attack of rheumatism, coming and
going, lasts about three weeks. The
second week is generally the worst as
far as pain is concerned. The first
week the sufferer devotes to his or her
own cures. Failing to quiet tho attack
and the consequent pain the second
week is taken up with trying the
various remedies suggested by friends
and acquaintance.
't.is the third week enters, the suf-
ferer in the meantime having about
made up his or her mind to let tho
disease have its own way, having given
up the hope of trying to cure1it, the
patient is ready to try as many things
and remedies as come along and gener-
ally does SO, it matters Lot how non
sensical they arc.
"One says wear pewter ring on the
second finger of the left hand, another
to drink great quantities of water
another to consume half dozen lemons
a day, another to carry horse chestnuts
In your pockets, and so on. BY the
end of the third week the rheumatism
has passed away and praises are sung
to every ear in favor Of the last remedy
tried. The entire credit is given the
last thing tried, and while it may not
have done any more good than II the
patient carried q brick in his oyercoat
or dress pocket il that was the par
ticular thing last done it will be for.
all time heralded as cure certain and
reliable. Here is where rheumatism
makes liars of people. 1t is rare that q
sufferer from rheumatism is ever told
to consult physician. That seems to
be the last thing thought of in cases
OF rheumatism, though nearly the first
thing in nearly all other attacks of
disease.
''Curiously enough, in nearly all the
springs, medicated baths and other
sure cures the patient is told that 81
baths or 81 days Of drinking the water
is necessary. Here comes in the three
weeks again, and / suppose it is neces-
sary. 1t is at best troublesome com.

run Its course, to return on the slightest
proyocation. -
