"WHAT IS A BILLIoNP"
A Puzzling Question at John Gates
Dinner For Steel Magnates.


New York, March 24.-John w. Gates
of the American Steel & Wire company
gave a dinner at the Waldorf-Astoria
the other evening to celebrate the sue
cessful Accomplishment of the greatest
of all great trade combinations. As
was to be expected, the conversation
turned on the United States Steel cor
poration. Millions and billions were
converSationally jagged until the lis
teners' heads swan. Finally one man
propounded a staggerer, Gould anyone
present define what $1,000 100000 real
" meant?" There was a pause, and
then Senator H C. Hansbrough of
South Dakota told a story, which ap-
parently satisfactorily answered the
question;

son a siding. They awoke late the next
day TO find that the car was partly
filled with corn. 1t was raining cats
and dogs outside, and so one of the
tramps, producing a greasy pack of
cards, proposed a game of poker to
kill the time. The other agreed. They
were without chips, but a substitute
was readily found by Smelling some of
the corn and using the kernels thereof
in lieu of the regulation white and
blue disks.
me corn was OF thrice COlOISs Gull

cided to make the white kernalS worth

The game being a credit one, each took

''The hands were dealt. and one of
the tramps. after surveying his cards,
nonchalently drew out of his pocket
the stub of a cigar, which he had
picked up on his travels. Lighting il,
he airily announced that his hand was
worth 81, 600, 900. The other, not to be
outdone, also produced a stepee,' lit it,
cooked it at the proper angle in his
mouth, and then, preliminaries being
successfully accomplished. saw the 9TH

THE MINISTER WAS SHOCKED.

There landed from the White Star liner
Oceanic, which arrived from Liverpool
yesterday morning. the most Disguised
person that has walRed down a gang
plank in many day. The Rev. Thomas
Aldred, a Methodist minister from Nash
vile, Tenn, was the person in question,
and the insight that he got of gambling,
flirting, dancing and other proceedings
during the passage across the Atlantic
was responsible for his disgust at the
way things are done in midOCean.
The sParSon was second cabin passen-
ger. and a visit to the smoking room, "A
peep into the steerage, and a watchful
aye kept on the stewards resulted in his
making a few discoveries of such a Sc
rious nature as TO lead him to remark
yesterday:
1T is simply awful. I saw money on
the tables, and-would you believe it
men were openly gambling for it. On the
Sabbath night / saw with my own eyes a
dance going on in the Storage. / tell
