morrow at o'clock. Admission will be
by ticket only. Tickets can be secure
free of expense upon application at Y.

sure of seats should be on hand before

MIR. Quinn was n gambler for twenty
five years, and is thoroughly familiar
with all the ms and outs of the game.
He was soundly converted while in
prison. and has devoted his life to the
spreading abroad the knowledge con-
corning gamblers and their devices
which nc has acquired at such n cost
to himself. He brings with him nearly
ton of gambling paraphernalia which
has been captured by the police in
many cities. He uses these implements
to show how hopeless it is to expect to
beat man at his own game. He rep
resents the International Anti-gamblinc
Association. and the aim of his work
is not to teach. but by safe demonstra-
tons to warn and save.
Mr.. Quinn comes to us most heartily
recommended. Nfultitudes OF mcr
everywhere he has labored have been
greatly blessed through the truth he
is SO clearly presenting.

CARPER-N-S SWEET,

Supreme Court of Colorado November
0, 1899.
WHEN PROPERTY is PLACED BY
THE OWNER IN THE HANDS OF
RIVAL AGENTS FOR SALE. AND
ONE MAKES THE SALE TO A
CUSTOMER WITH WHOM THE
OTHER HAD UNSUCCESSFULLY
NEGOTIATED. LATTER IS NOT
ENTITLED TO COMMISSIONS.
This was an action by a real estate
owner for commissions for the sale of
defendants real estate. The land had
been put In the hands of the plaintiff
and several other real estate agents for
sale. Plaintiff negotiated with a GUS
toner for the sale OF the property, but
unsuccessfully, and abont two months
afterwards one of the other agents sold
the property to the same customer.
The lower court gave judgement for
defendant and plaintiff appealed.
The court says:
The case is not one where property
has been left for sale by its owner ex-
clusively with one agent. The case
was one where rival agents were au-
thorized to sell, and where one PRO
~ ~ SuotOiilSI W WllOIIl the sale was
made, and with whom the rival agent
could not succeed. The defendant was
under obligation to pay the agent who
produced the purchaser to him; for this
agent and not the other, was the
efficient and immediate cause of the
sale. There is not a word of evidence
that the defendant interfered as be-
tween the two agents, while it abund-
antly appears that he remained en-
tirely neutral, and in fact did not know
that the plaintiff had ever talked with
the purchaser, until the sale by the
rival agent had been accomplished. The
case comes squarely within the rule
that, where the principal has openlv
placed his property in the hands OF diff
ferent agents for sale, he may pay the
commissions to the one who produced
the purchaser. and be relieved from
any liability to the others. Affirmed.

TO FREE QUIMBo Apo.
Chinese Masons EndcavOriDg 10 Sc
cure the Nurderer's Release

NEW YORK. April S.-The Lee Society
of Chinese Free Masons is taking teps to
obtain the liberty of old "Quimbo' Apo,
the Chinese murderer, who was sent 10
State prison twenty-five years ago for
killing John Kelley, prizefghter. in a
| quarrel over game of checkers. Apo
is said to have killed four men after his
arrival in this country in 1912, and ad
| mits killing three. In 1858 he was SEN
| fenced to be hanged for his second crime,
but Governor Fenton commuted the SEN
tence to life Imprisonment. and later Gov
ernor Hoffman reduced the penalty TO ten
years.
For killing Kelley Apo pleaded self
defence but was sentenced to seven years
on charge of manslaughter. Before his
time was up he became insane and was
transferred 10 the asylum for insane
criminals at Matreawan. He has been
there ever since, as the law makes no
provision for the discharge of insane
criminals.
Representatives of the Lee Society
have been in communication with the du-
thorities at Matteawan. and they have
consented to recommend the discharge of
Apo if the society will furnish bonds TO
ensure his being sent back to China.
fund has been started for this purpose,
the intention being to raise 81, 900 In ad-
dition to money for the ocean passage.
With this sum- members OF the society
say Apo. who is seventy eight years old.
can live at ease in his native land for the
rest of his days. The old man is him
self member of the Lee Society, and
stood high in Chinese Free Masonry be-
fore he was sent to prison.
Appo's real name is Lee Apo The
name "Quiinbo (meaning deviD was given
TO him because Of his vicious temper. He
came TO this country when he was twenty
years old. with Mr.. Stuart, who had been
Minister TO China. He went to California
during the gold fever in 1S49 and became
a mining partner with a Mexican. The
Mexican tried TO ROB him and he killed
him and fed 10 San Francisco. There he
got position as cook on the United States
warship Vahdaiia and remained three
years. I-T
1t was in 1870 that he was charged with
the murder that he declares he did not
commit He was living in New York once
more. and a policeman found him leaning
over an old cobbleT who had been killed
with stone. Apo said another man threw
the stone. but his past record was against
him. and he was sentenced to five years
imprisonment.
Apps keepers look upon him as harm
less old man. He is well preserved physi
cally in spite OF his years. His only de-
fusion is that he is the ruler of all man
kind. He lords it over his fellow convicts
and wears little red cap as a symbol
of his office.

by the Dawson girl as the one to whom
she had given a ring. He was found by
the police about midnight and the ring

merity was openly laughed at. but the
little American played skittles with his
English rivals and his victories made all
England gasp.
Having The stamp of royal approval, so
ciety both at home and abroad ''licni2ed'
him and he is feted and petted to an extent
that would turn an ordinary mortai's head.
The great jockey was in such demand
socially and dinsd and wined to such an
extent that il was feared his health would
give way. Too much society and the ner-
yous strain of racing told on him.
