Vancouver u. C.. Oct. 19-Leigh
Hunt, an American mining magnate Of
COroa. who has gained more conCcs-
siOns in the way of mining rights in
Corca than any other living man, was
passenger on the steamship Empress
Of India. and so was Count Delaureuc,
Vice Consul for Belgium at Picking
The two incidentally met over a game
mig on the voyage. He had been
betting ten to one on the flight of q
seagull, the spOuting of whale, the
age Of lady passenger, etc. lie got
the ships crew excited by engaging
the steward. who was in receipt of sos
a month, to help him in his Coreln
mines at a salary of S4OO a month. ami
paid him half months wages in al
vance. besides engaging three walters
at $500 a month.
But the climax was reached in the
game Of poker. There were six in the
game, but all but the Belgian Vice Con-
sui quit They had had enough OF
Hunts internal luck" as they called
T.. Count DClaurent. however. would
not quit, although Hunt told him he
could not play little bit and would
lose his money. Hunt won steadily
until tn csallow-faced little foreigner.
with his black mustache twisted up at
right angles to the line of his mouth,
had parted with $500. Then Hunt said:
81 refuse to take any more Of your
money You are Belgian and do not
understand the first rudIments of the
great American game of poker"
The Belgian grew excited. He said:
I'VE will throw dice double or quit"
Hunt reluctantly consented, the game
to be 500 a throw first and double up
every throw. He soon had $500 Of the
Bolgian's money. when he refused 10
play any longer The Belgian's head
sank heavily on his arms and he be.
gan to sob.
Hunt took the ships Bible and plac-
ed II on the card table and said to the
emotional Belgian: Swear to me by
all your numerous saints that you will
never play the American game Of poker
again as long as you live" The Bel
gian answered: II swear It," The next
minute Count Delaurent, with shame
and tears on his face, was gathering up
sS2l3 In checks. money and notes that
Hunt had won from him during the
night.

PETITIOHING TIE COURT.
Executive Committee of the Com- mercial League Asks for Levy
 Tax Reduction.

Secretary E. D. Russell, of the Pine Bluff Commercial League is today circulating as petition among the citizens asking the coun ty levying board to reduced the levy for county general purposes from five to two and one.haf mills for the year ending October 30, 1901
 While the movement is not being satisfactorily received by some, the petition is being numerously signed by property owners and citizens generally.
 Tbe recent report of the commis- sioners of accounts for Jefferson eouaty brings to light the fact that the county $ income is in excess of it's expenditures. The county is free from debt with the exception of rail- road bonds, (for which provisions are made) and something like S7000 is stored in the county treasurer's safe. The grounds on which tbe levy reduction is asked, is to the eff. feet that ao ample amount of funds for county general purposes will be received after the reduction is made
 Secretary Rlssell is acting under the instructions of the executive committee of the League, and they will appeal to the county levying court, which is composed of all the justices of the peace in the county. for the reduction.
