HAVANA, March 20.-A serious con-
dict between the police and people Of
Havana resulted in much shooting and
clubbing. From 80 to 80 people were
wounded, some seriously. Among the
injured is Police Captain Estampes,
formerly colonel in the Cuban army.
Ever since the police interference

inefficient. The latest trouble occurred
1T public mulatto ball in San Jose
street, an unsavory quarter of Havana.
Many Cuban officers, colonies and cap
tains among them, attended tho affair.
A policeman on duty in that street, fol-

tho ball was in progress, asked . group

Tho policeman immediately notified
headquarters, who ordered 70 reserves
to the scene of trouble. The crowd had
prepared for their arrival. It is said
they opened with revolver fire on tho
police, which the latter returned, the
shooting being kept up until the smmu-

Poker as a Fine Art.

A paper read by Sam J. Callahan, be- fore the Klifton Kalkos Klub, in Clifton, in the early sos. Callahan was printer on the old Clifton Clarion. The club, as well as the Clarion, is now only thing of memory:
 Poker as a fine art is something I know very litte about. My poker knowl- edge has been acquired with great diff culty, and more or less expense; my edu- cation in the game is practical one so far as it goes, and my experience has been sort of pull Dick, pull devil one, from beginning to end.
 ''I like the game. No one can deny that it is in it's very nature an elevating art, every one who ever engages in it, at some period f his career, being raised clear above all minor considerations of life-raised in fac till he could stand to be raised no more.
 ''Poker was introduced into the United States about fifty years ago, and at or ce became very popular-e specially al ng the Mississippi river and the South gen. erally. It was formerly played with twenty cards-excluding all below the tens, the players not being allowed to draw in order 10 help their hands after the deal but that form of the game, known as twenty-deck poker, never at tained much favor in this country, and was soon superseded by the go cd old game of draw, which, with few slight variations, has held it's position-ur- changed in theory and unrivalled in the hearts of the people. In poker proper, and the way it is played in the East, se- quence f1ushes beats fours and straights beat two pair he latter consideration, I will add, making a pat flush a mighty interesting thing to hold in a good live game. Sequence fushes are played in the East because most people there are church members, and think it would be wrong to rake in a deacon's cash on four aces, with no possibility of better hand being against them. In the West, how ever, the people or more liberal in tileir views, and don't think any more of draw ing down mans money on an invinci-

If that drummer ever puts up at

stay interesting" said the clerk of
hotel In one Of Michigan's liyehest
towns, as he scOwled at a bell boy
who was trying hard not to laugh
"He came in here the other day and,
after registering turned the page back
and looked at the names Of the day
before, Say he said suddenly, I have
discovered a funny thing in the last
two days, and that is that there are
more persons registering under the
name OF Brown than there are under
the name OF Smith. I don't know
whether the Brown family is more nm-
merous, or whether they travel more
than the Smiths. But it is a fact. new
ertheGess, that there are more Browne
to be found on the hotel registers than
there are Smiths.

that by the time I'm ready to leave to-

took him up. He proposed that I
should buy him a 25-cent cigar for ev-

the register, and he would do the same
for me when the name was Smith.
THAT was agreeable to me. and I
simply chuckled to myself, for l knew

and who would undoubtedly be here
before the drummer left.
well, in less than ten minutes il
began TO rain Browns, I never saw so
many Browns together in my life. The
hotel register began to look like a rec
ord Of the Brown family Every few
minutes the drummer would call
around. check up the register and de-
mand the cigars coming to MIN.
THE truth came out at last. That
miserable drummer had discovered
that there was to be a reunion Of the
Brown family in this city, and learn
ing that most of them were going to
put up here, he sprung his scheme on
me to get his smoking for a month for
nothing, and as if that wasn't enough,
he has just sent me collect message.
