ssns beta On Dies-shaki.E and Sens
Deductions Therefrom.

Dedacttons Thersfron.
One evening. several weeks ago.
Q group or racehorse men were chat
ting In the st. Charles rotunda, when
one Of the party produced miniature
silver dice box, which he had picked
up somewhere as q curiosity. II con-
tanned three tiny but perfectly made
dice. I'm superstitious about this
box" said the owner, smilingly. Il
believe II brings me good luck" well.
Just to cure you of that idea." said a
horseman from st. Louis, "Pl bet you
SO l can beat you throwing the dice"
The proposition was accepted. and the
owner of the box threw three fours,
which, oddly enough, were also thrown
by the man from st. Louis. Upon that
a dispute arose, the st. Louis turfman
claiming that the tie should be
thrown OF" and the other man that
he had won, because his hand had not
been beaten. Some OF those present
took one side and some the other, and,
after a heated argument, II was agreed
to leave the question to a New YORK
daily newspaper regarded as an au-
thority on sports. H Is is the way
the question was stated: "A bets d
he can beat him throwing dice. B bets
he can not. Result tie. Who wins?"
On Sunday the answer was printed,
as follows: Neither. When B takes
AS bet he virtually bets that he can
beat A" Upon this decision the
money was handed over, not only on
the original bet, but on several side
wagers afterward made. II did not
end the argument, however, but, on
the contrary. started 1t afresh. and Il
still RACES. Most local authorities dis
agree squarely with the New York
referee. THE decision was all wrong"
said a veteran New Orleans sportsman.
Here is the case in a nutshell: A
says to B. I'll bet you $40 can beat
you in q throw Of dice b accepts
the wager and throws three fours.
Now the only way in which A can
make good his original assertion that
he could beat B is to throw something
Netter than three fours. He said beat
YOU remember. not equal you He
then throws a duplicate hand, which
certainly does not beat, but is merely
a standoff, consequently he loses.
That is as plain as the nose on an ele-
plant. the paper says that in taking
the wager B virtually bets he can beat
A. He does nothing Of the sort. He
bets that A can't beat him-quite a
different proposition. New Orleans

Port Arthur is using the hemp
neck-tie, as a means to advertise
that such a spot exists on the map.
Bill Sweeney was tried for the mur-
der of a man name Kambach, and
cleared, and the people of Port
Arthur took it into their head that
the court erred, as is generally the
case when men become welded to
the idea that a fellow man isguilty,
and when they learned that Swee-
ney was cleared at Beaumont, they
sent him word not to show his ugly
mug back in the city again or they
would hang him. Sweeney thought
they were bluffing, and he went
back, but had hardly put his feet
on Port Arthur dirt before he was
from a telegraph psle,
This shows that you had better
keep away from a town that runs
any kind of bluff over you.

1t appears that Mckinley has
made another big mistake. He had
his Secretary of State negotiate a
new treaty with England, to sup
plant the old worn out, antiquated
thing called the Clayton. Bulwer
treaty, regarding the building of
the Nicaraguan canal. Old treaty
was subject to repeal at any time
by this country. Besides leaving no
repeal clause, new treaty gives
England every advantage-virtually
does away with the "Monroe Doc
triue." We certainly hope that the
Senate will scorn the treaty-spit
upon and kick it out the back door.
If this country digs canal across
the isthmus, we want to control it
outright-in times of war and
peace,

Abolition OF Prison Lock Step.

To the uninitiated the lockstep is
an interesting performance, 1t or
lginated from the necessity of
handling large bodies of convicts as
compactly as possible. Each mans
hands rest upon the shoulders, while
his knees 6t into the backs of the
knees of the man before him. This
necessitates a short, shutting step,
and swaying motion, which it is
claimed seldom leaves him, For this
reason Its abolition is urged. This
demonstrates the power of habit,
Another habit hard to get rid of is
constipation; byt there is remedy
that will cure this, as well as dys-
pepsia, indigestion and biiousuess,
and that is Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters. 1t is a magnificent tonic
for the whole system, purifying the
blood and Improving the appetite.

the republican senators are afraid
of going before the country square
ly on the issue of the gold standard
and last week the majority Of the
Finance Committee reported the
old international bimetallism BAN

amendment, which merely says that
the bill is not intended to place
any obstacle in the way of the
accomplishment of international bi-
metallism, is too palpable a hum
bug to fool any man, but it is in
tended to ease the consciences of
such so-called republican bimetal-
lists as Senator Chandler, who was

western silver republicans as care
to take advantage of it an oppor-
