Roulette Is NOW the Fashionable Game

There is a fashion in gambling as

Of New York, land just now the SPORT

ton of roulette. One hears a lot OF

of squeeze played nowadays are like
visits of angels. l was talking to the
proprietor Of a swell gambling house
in the heart of New York city the 9TH
er day, and he confirmed what | have
said as to the popularity Of roulette.
He has in his place faro, baccarat,
and the wheel, a conclusive showing
that bank and baccarat had both been
superseded by the seductive game OF
roulette. AS to poker, he doesn't coun-
tenance 1t in his establishment, for the
reason that it is a tedious way for the
house to make money, however large
the rake-off, as compared with n OF
the other games. He told me that II
was a common thing for men to come
into his place and bet him $500 to
$1,000 on a single turn of the wheel,
and l know he was telling the truth
for many OF his patrons are known to
me and they are among the high roll
ers OF the city who look on betting $500

A CAPE TOWN JAIL.
Special Punishment Inflicted Upon Many
NJ the Cosmopolitan Population.

of the Cosmopolitan Population.
Cape Town, Africa, has among other
novelties a prison containing about
1000 prisoners, where almost every
nation OF the earth is represented.
There are American miners and sons
of the English aristocracy, French,
Italians, Russians and Hebrews. A
great many of the prisoners are sery-
ing political sentences. Most of these
prisoners are employed in building
forts and Notifications. The hillside
overlooking the city of Cape Town is
a veritable Gibraltar. Tier upon tier
of modern guns have been placed here
by the government, and the work has
nearly all been done by the convicts.
The convicts who are not employed on
public works are hired out to farmers.
Farmers OF South Africa much prefer
convict labor to that of the natives, be-
cause the conviCts do not have an OPP
portunity to become intoxicated. Be-
side being provided with food and fuel,
each convict is paid for at the rate of
SO to 60 cents a day. The government
furnishes guards to prevent criminals
from escaping from their employers.
All prisoners are divided into three
classes, according to the length OF
their terms and their behavior. Those
known as the first class are distin-
guished by a black band around their
hats. When they first enter the prison
they are thus marked and remain SO
for three months. II they behave they
are then put into the probation class
and marked with a yellow ribbon. Hero
they remain for eight months. If the
continue to behave we'll they are tran
ferred to the g~ood-conduct class am
marked with a red band. In this class
they remain until their sentence has
expired. There are no paroles. The
classes are not permitted to mix, but
each class has an opportunity after
working hours for social intercourse
among its own members. All prison
ers are housed in wards, non being
confined in cells. Prisoners are kindly
treated as long as they behave them
selves. Dungeons are eve used as
punitive agencies, and only now and
then is solitary confinement resorted
TO. Gaming and fiogging are some
times found necessary, but no prison
official is allowed to infiict either OF
these. They must be imposed by a
magistrate, who visits the prison once
a week. Among the prisoners in Cape
Town Jail who have attracted special
attention recently was a young native,
educated at Oxford. who headed his
fathers tribe against an insurrection
against the British authority. He was
captured and sentenced to fifteen years
in this prison. At the end of five yearl
he was liberated and Immediately re-
turned to his tribe. Another prisoner
went to Cape Town as a missionary
and secretary Of the Young Mems
Christian association, which annually
handled immense sums OF money. He
became secretary Of the Cape Town
Building and Loan association and
manipulated the books so that he was
enabled to steal 1888, 600 before being
caught. He is now doing seven years
in this prison.
