The group was sitting in the smoking
room of an uptown hotel and the talk
had turned upon a stiff game of p<ler
played the night before, says the New
York Sun. Everyone had a high-play
story to tell. Finally, the old Indian
fighter, who won his title of colonel be-
fore he left active service behind him,
took his cigar from his mouth and plung-
ed into the conversation.
you may talk about your dead game
sports and Your .lervy gamblers, be
said in quick, cracking voice that
sounded like rifle fire, but you don't
know anything about the gambling mania
unless you've lived among indians. L
believe they are born with the gambling
fever raging in their blood. They'll bet
on anything; they'll play anything;
they'll stake anything. I've seen a whole
village stark, staring mad over play.
What's more, I've known a whole village
to be lost at play-houses, horses, cat
tie. wives, everything of value the place
held.
Indian gambling isn't what it used to
be. The government has imposed re-
strictions that hold the vice within lin
its, but. the passion is there, just the
same, and in most of the tribes the In
dams would rather play poker or monte
than do anything else in the world.
'They' are good losers, I'll say that
for them I've seen them lose everything
they owned in the world without making
a sign, and go. away unusually cheerful.

THE GREAT sALvINI.

For many of the most finely discrim-
gion, Salvini became the first and fore
most of the histrionic artists of our day
and with nearly all 1.-The judicious' he
took, held, and holds a highly exalted
position, says Henry A Clapp in the No.
vember Atlantic. His personality was
the most splendid-the adjective is fit
and indeed, required-that has illustrated
the theater of his time. When he was
first seen here, the beauty and strength
of his classic face, the grand proportions
of his figure, and the vibrant, sympa-
thetic sweetness of his voice-a voice as
glorious as ever proceeded from a man
s combined to overpower the observer and
listener. AS was said of Edmund Kean,
he dominated stage and audience com
pletely." His training in the continental
school has been thorough, and, in tenn
pcramental force, I doubt if he was ever
surpassed by any player at any period
OF the world. His acting was of the Lat
in order, not of the Teutonic or Anglo
Teutonic; it was, however, though al
ways vital and strong, never extravagant:
in gesture, though exuberant, it was not
excessive; in its general method it be-
longed to what, in choice from a poverty
of terms, must be called the exhaustive
rather than the suggestive school of art
there was in it not so high q solution
of pure intellectually as in Edwin
Booths, but in its mastery, in the largest
way and to the smallest detail, of the
symbols of histrionic expression il
ranked, l think, above that of every
other player whom the stage of America
has known within the past fifty years.

This, the projectors of the canal figure
out, will make the gross receipts of that
trip net profit to the shipowner. For a
freighter of 5000 tons registry this sum
would be now, about $1,000. For the
twenty-five round trips the canal tolls
would be $S,360, so that the building of
TINS canal would, by enabling the extra
trip, give such a, vessel owner a profit of

CHICAGO, Oct. 27.-Father jeremiah j.

He cannot be present or assist at any
OF the public exercises or offices of re-

nor can she be present at mass, vespers,

The order of dismissal was the result
of attacks by Father Crowley upon fell

which he made at the time Father Null

compelled him to resign his passionate.
An hour later Father Crowley withdrew
the resignation, but it had already been
accepted by Chancellor Barry and it was
made absolute Then Father Crowley
started legal proceedings to keep his sue
cessor out of the pastorate and renewed
his attacks on Bishop Muldo3n. A week
ago Cardinal Martinelli, the papal dele
gate at Washington, came to Chicago and
took final action
He gave Father Crowley a choice of
two things-to make humble penance and
accept without protest a life within the
confines of monastery, or to be dismiss
