gambling among women has fiourishod
and declined Just al this time it -four
ishes But If the mania is growing strong
in women of to-day. it is simply the re-
vival of an old liking. for in every age
women have been addicted to 1t. The
pages of history tell. over and over again.
the story of great women gamblers.
France has furnished the greater number
of these but England has not been far
behind, while America has put forth many
whose fame has become interna tional.
Nine de Montespan won so much at
basset. her fayorite game, that Louis XIV.
was delighted and borrowed some of her
winnings But she lost a great deal at
times, and her play grew so furious that
in 1852 Louis abolished the game. 1t is
recorded of Nine de Montespan that size
one night, while the king looked on at
the play risked a sum equal to 5000 900
on a single card. and that the King
grumbled when no one could be found to
cover the bet But madam also lost, one
New Years night, 100000 crowns at hoca.
and on another night almost S,00O0O0 at
the same game.
Nine. du Barry was the most famous
woman gambler of the time of Louis XIV,
but with her it was only a paStime. But
Nine. de Pompadour went in with the sole
object of winning if she could. 1t is re-
corded tnat ner WINNINGS were enormous,
and that in a single game she eased the
pockets of the King of 5000 louis dor
($125, COO.
Queen Marie Antonette, according to
history was a gambler who liked to be
surrounded by gamblers. Faro was the
popular game but the stakes got to be SO
great that many nobleman had his
entire estates wiped away in a single
night. Scandal rose high, and the game
was forbidden. Nevertheless, In a short
time 1t was being carried on again, not
only in the apartments of the queen, but
at the house of the Princess de LAM
bale.
At first the Queen and those who desired
to play with her went to the apartments
of Nine. de Guemene. whose house is
credited with having been the scene Of
the highest continued play of any in
France But affairs grew so bad before
the end came that noblemen would no
longer play with the Queen, and she ed-
mitted to her table many common GAM
hiers Then the scandal broke I'm fun

one was even arrested for picking a

as they were at the French court. Nell
Gwynne lost $4,000 to the Duchess OF
Cleveland, and in one year lost upward OF
$500 600 There had never been known so
much gambling among women as was car

MONOPOLY IN CABLE BUILDING.
England Alone Can Lay Telegraph
Lines Across the Great Oceans.

From the New York Evening Post
There are no American makers of ocean
cable, so the insertion of a clause in the
Pacific cable bill by the House committee
on Commerce, providing that 1.-THE cable
shall be of American make and that the
cableships shall fly the American flag" Is
considered by President Scrymser of the
Pacific Gable Company to be likely to af-
feet the rapidity and thoroughness of the
work
He said to-day: 1--WE in America never
have done that work and the plants, the
capital and, above all, the experience,
which are required for ocean cable max
ing cannot be improTised under the touch
of a government undertaking. A look at
the history of cable-making for ocean
lines VIII show why we haven't done the
work and why we cannot do it offhand
even it we try.
Practically all ocean cables, from the
first transatlantic line in 1857 up to the
present day, have been made in England
ana English firms have a ractical mo-
nopoly of the experience. The first Allan
tic cable was made by Glass, Eliot & Co
The failure of this and the loss of the
second resulted in the formation of a
great company-the Telegraph Construc-
ton and Maintenance Communicated
Dy great capital, and this company made
a success of the third cable and gave i'm
petus to further work of the sort But
the manufacture stayed in England. The
necessary experience had been expensive
and England was the first to acquire it.
Then, in 1870, when England paid $50 COO 600
for the land telegraph lines of the islands
that capital went at once into plants and
ships for making and laying ocean cable
Thus England had the lead. To make the
cable in America we would have to have
big plant and a good many men Of
practical experience in such work.
For this, a large investment, far into
the millions, would be required, aud if the
cable, when laid should fail in any way
its makers would suffer a dead less of all
their work and have to replace the cable
at their own cost. Then there must be
some ten ships of at least 4,50O tons spe-
cialy constructed for the work. Each
ship requires a full outfit of apparatus
for every branch of the work and to be
manned by men of experience All this
equipment is found only in England Evil
cence of this appears in the course taken
by Germany in the matter of the new
German cable to New York, via the
Azores Germany wanted a cable she
could be sure of and wanted it quickly
just the situation at present of the Unit
ed States She guarantees about Z per
cent of the whole cost, and then the ca
BILE is made in England. That shows the
German appreciation of this need of ex-
perience and great equipment

PTTTsBURGs AT TOWNSVILLE

Thomasville, Ca, March 1S.-The Pi-

have located in Townsville for their
spring practice. The team is under the
management of Fred Clarke, who had
charge of the Louisville team here last
spring. There are twenty-three members
of the party and they travel in a private
Pullman.
AS baseball experts live on the fat Of the
land, they insisted upon stopping at the
Piney Woods, Thomasville's best hotel:
But the Piney Woods was already crowd
ed beyond its capacity and all available
rooms in the neighborhood had been rent
ed by the hotel mana cement and were be-
ing used in connection with the hotel.
There was an old church building on the
hotel lot, which had not been used since
the Baptists built their new church. Les
see Woods seized upon this opportunity,
remodeling the church, putting in num-
Der of nice rooms, baths, steam heat, etc.

when Is Easter.
From the London News.


Which is the true Easter day in 1900?
Some people think Easter should be kept
on April q, and not on April Is. The rule
is Easter day is always the first Sun
day after the full moon which happens
upon or next after the 21st day of March;
and if the full moon happens upon a Sun
cay, Easter day is the Sunday after" The
Rev. Allen WhitwCrth, vicar of All Saints
Margaret street, who is an expert in the
matter explains in the All Saints Maya
zine that in order that the church might
not be dependent on future Astronomical
calculations he adopted a set of rules by
which to determine the dates on which
the fun moon should be assumed to fall.
This fictitious fun moon can always be
found in the tables at the beginning of
the prayer book, and by the common
consent of Western Christendom this tab.
uar full moon is used in the determina-
ton Of Easter.
This year the tables give Saturday
April A. as the date of the Pasehal full
moon, but the actual moon in the heav.
ems is not full until sixty-two minutes az
ter midnight that is. the astronomical
full moon falls on Sunday. April IS. II we
followed the astronomical moon. Easter
Sunday would be the following Sunday.
April 2, but as we accept the ecclesiasti-
cal moon we keep Easter on the 18th. II
should. however, be noted that the Jew

pended not on the fun moon. but on the

Christian rule is founded on the Jewish
