lated with him. but the first man
would play. His friend, wealthy New
York business man, sought the propri-
etor and protesting vigorously said
tnat II the intoxicated man were per-
mltted to play he would see that pay
ment was stopped on the check his
companion must pay with. AS both
visitors were liberal patrons, and the
gambler did not wish to offend either.
he finally pleased both by making an
express agreement with the friend that
the play should be for fun but with

want of players just then, and the COM
promise arrangement worked perfectly,
Tine intoxicated man plunged into a
game that had it been for anything but
fun would have made material for
the clubs press agent. The value of
the checks couldsnot be made too high
for him, and he had difficulty in get
ting them down fast enough and in
quantities large enough to suit him.
Winning and losing, he went through
all the emotions that gambling can ex-
cite. and then settled into steady
winning streak. He finally was So
bered by the excitement and anxiety.
He conscious that he had lost
checks representing many thousands Of
dollars, but the hope that luck would
turn spurred him to keep at the game.
His friend stolidly watched him until
he grew tired and then informed the
frenzied loser that the gambling which
had so unstrung him was only joke.
Instead Of being relieved. the game
,ster flew into rage at the friend who
had made monkey Of him. He
made no protest, however, against be-
ing free from his supposed gambling
debt, though he departed In high anger.
The friend regretted loudly that he had
served him.
The clubhouse proprietor did not
voice his regrets until his patrons were
gone. Then he remarked that he
wished very much that the NEEDLE

On HER HEAD.
SOCIETY OFFERS $1,000 FOR.
MISS JEWETT'S SCALP. &.
8 Sequel of the Recent Riots ~ The
s= Woman Who Denounced the killing
OF Charles and Others by a Mob OF
: LawIess Whites. -, ~ 10

i There is much excitement in two
widely separated sections of the coun
try over sequel of the recent bloody
scenes in the. city of New Orleans, La,
and as a result the states of Louisiana
and Massachusetts are, so to speak,
: scowling at each other with unmistak-
able viciousness. The Green Turtle
club, a semi-political organization of
New Orleans, has threatened the life
and set the price of $1,000 on the head
of Miss Lillian Clyton Jewett of Bos-
ton, who headed a mass meeting of
Boston negroes a few nights ago and
declared war on southern whites: A
Boston dispatch says Miss Jewett has
secured 10000 negro crusaders willing
to march to New Orleans, and that
$4,000 was raised to equip them and to
send an advance agent - u.
Miss Jewett is president of the Anti
Lynching league of Boston and the
recent killing of Charles and other ne
groes without trial by lawless whites
excited the woman and her followers
greatly. At the meeting in Boston
Miss 'Jewett made fiery speech, in
which. she denounced the whites Of
New Orleans in unmeasured terms and
declared that she would head a cru
SADIE against them. Excitement, ran
high, and one of the speakers, the Rev.
B. w. Farris, exclaimed: If Robert
Charles could hold 1000 people at bay,
what could 1000 negroes do?' \
One speaker recognized a man in
the audience who, he declared, was a
former slave holder in New Orleans.
This started a panic during which all
of the whites and half of the negroes
left the church, but the negroes re-
turned when quiet had been restored.
When the news of this meeting
reached New Orleans the Green Turtle
club, which is a representative south
arn club of over 100 members, was
stirred to great anger. In a few days
she received a. letter postmarked New
Orleans. It read - - .s.[S. l..5

white in the eyes of Boston people, but
in our eyes you are blaeker than Rob-
ert Charles. We therefore invite you
to come down. Our members are anx-
iously awaiting your arrival to get the
prize that is offered for your head
This was signed >"Members Green
Turtle club, No 1912 Annette street,
New Orleans, La" The whole thing
started in the southern city as Joke,
but the Boston people took the matter
seriously and now the Green Turtle
members are in earnest and say they
propose to stand back OF their words.
The letter to Miss Jewett further says:
Seeing that you threaten to cone
to New Orleans with a mob of 10000
persons, we invite you to come as the
blacks Joan of Arc, and we assure you
that. your band of crusaders would get
killed in less time than it took Charles
to kill the police officers That this
is seriously meant is shown by the
fact that these words were duly en-
tered on the clubs minutes.

There seems to be quite an inter

Dicks endorsement for n position in

lieving that he would stand n better
chance of receiving an appointment
IL he had the Generals support than
if he had the endorsement Of Mr.. Gill.
When Mr.. Gill learned that a constit-
uent of his had gone to another Con
gressman from Ohio for assistance in
a matter of this kind he was so great
ly displeased that he placed an obsta-
Gle in the way of Walrath's appoint
ment, on the ostensible ground that
he had many more applications of the
same kind from older residents of his
district than he could provide for
Thus far Walrath has not secured the
place he desires. and it is evident that
he will have to- depend entirely on
