SUIT OVER POKER GAME
A Play Which Leads TO a Legal

New York, August 3O--An incident
of game of draw poker, which was
played on the steamship New York in
midocean on the way from Southamp-
ton to this port on October l3th last,
has resulted in an action in the SUI
preme court here, brought by Sigfried
Steiner of Birmingham, Ala, to re-
cover about Sl25 from Edward Wasser-
msnn, of the stock brokerage firm OF
Wassermann Bros. of this city, who
acted as stakeholder.
At the card table when the game at
issue was played were the gentleman
from Alabama; j. A. Wilson, from
Franklin, Pa; Nat c. Goodwin, the
actor; 7. D. Marx, theatrical man.

records fail TO disclose what the liu.it
was or how the players Jared, and the
counsel in the case are chary of in,

The court takes up the game fr.m a
time when Steiner, in dealing, faced
or exposed card W hich he was giving
to Goodwin on the draw. Good win
pushed the card back to the dealer,
and the other players differing from
the plaintiff say that something like
the following conversation occurred:
Dteiner-You must takeit.
Goodwin-Not on your tintype
Steiner That's your card and you
must take it.
Goodwin Bet you s95 mustn't take
it.
Steiner-Go you; here's my S25.
Thereupon Steiner and Goodwin
each deposited $25 with Wilson as
stakeholder Wilson, after receiving
the money, told Steiner he was wrong

I'm right.

Here's the S1O," said Steiner, no,
wincing under the increasing demand
for his money.
Wassermann took the $500 and the
poker game went merrily along with,

Steiner's version of the matter is al

clared that he bet that the face card
must be put at the bott om of the pack
and al the other players should first
be served and then Goodwin should re

not explain in his complaint what the
position of the other betters was. he
says that on going ashore he hunted

Tall Twisting

There has always been more or less
of British lion tail-twisting in our
presidential campaigns. Formerly this
operation was a republican speciality.
Millions of British gold were represent
ed to have been CONSTRUCTED to the
democratic campaign chest, and no we'll
regulated republican organ permitted
a day to pass without charging the
democracy with being in league with
the Golden Club to break down protec-
ton and turn our home market over
to British manufacturers OF course.
the gold was a myth, and the allega-
ton of a league was a misuse of
terms. 1t happened, however, that the
democratic tariff policy was in perfect
accord with the desires of the British
free traders. This was easy Of proof
and, therefore, the tail-twisting was
not altogether Improbable.
This year it is the democratic hand
that is grasping that long-sufferlng
leonine ~appendage. THE ill-concealed
republican alliance with England is
a feature of the Kansas City platform,
which the candidate, organs, and ora
tors are working with industry n en-
ergy. The democratic managers nave
assigned to Mr.. Webster Davis, of Mis-
souri,, the seemingly pleasant task Of
working that string as a speciality.
How he will succeed in the ountry at
large is one of the uncertainties of he
future. but there is no room for a
| doubt that his own state will give Bry-
an and Stevenson a rousing majority.
| The London Spectator has an interest
| ing article on the Kansas City plat
| form in the course of which it says:
1.-The clause relating to the Nicaragua
| canal and the attack pom the ill-con-
cealed republican alliance with Eng
| land are in reality purely conventional
pieces of 'tail-twisting,' and need not
excite opinion here. AS we nave said
| elsewhere, as far as our national in
terests are concerned, it matters not
in the least whether the democrats or
republicans win. 1t is immaterial to

Floating on the Back

Dr p 3. Burroughs, who is well
known in this section, writes as follows
to the editor of the Jacksonville, (Fla.)
Metropolis
several years ago the city papers
kindly published an article from my
nen on this subject. The recent sad
loss of life at Pablo and other seaside
resorts, and in the tracherous waters
of the ST. Johns show that the advice
given was unheeded or forgotten AT
the time mentioned a beloved friend
a guest at my summer place a few
miles from Pablo, was, wnlIe pathing,
carried out to sea, and when almost

us, then we saw 1t receoe q Ie" 1eeI

able to reach him, bore him in

his story was hat after losing all hope,
guided by some mysterious impulse. he
had turned upon his back when he
felt himself carried rapidly forward.
He had then turned upon his face to
get his bearings, when he was carried
out futher from the land, and on again
placing himself upon his back the sur

Let us reason together, and a proper

will be saved by turning over on the

how to float, and with head and Shout

1t is an error that the drowning man
has been attacked by cramp except in
very cool weather. There is no greater
cause TO induce tramp than in playing
a game of ball. He browns from heart
failure, induced by the violent exer-
