Deep Play.
Longman's Magazine.

LOngman MagaZlne.
 The author of the book on gamblers and gambling mentions that when the he first came into the world. in 1750, there was no such thing as faro table admitted into the houses of people of rank and fashion: that in his childhood people had too much pride to receive tribute from the proprietor of such a machine, and that excessive gambling was not as rule carried on in private houses. but at clubs, where the play" was deeper than ever was before or since. One can scarcely imagine, how ever, deeper play at any period than was carried on in the "clubland" of the Regency; indeed, play survived in that most exclusive country long after Fox and the wild Prince had given up the dice box, the dandies continued it. Byron, Brummell, Avanley, D'Orsay- how many score of men I could men, ton who gambled away the whole of their great estates, won by sword or lance far away in "the dead centuries" or loaded their property with burdens in a single night which would keep their children and grandchildren poor for years to comet That a young fel- low just come into a great estate should drop a few thousand in a single night was not deemed worthy of re- mark, for in those days every one played.

EDISON MAKES NEW DISCOVERY
Finds Out How to Make Portland
 Cement ct Extremely Small Cost. New York Special to Chicago Times

Finds Out How to Make Portland
 Cement ct Extremely Small Cost. New York Special to Chicago Times-
 Herald.
 Thomas A. Edison. the wizard of electricity, has discovered how to make Portland cement" at an extremely smal cost. This statement, at first thought seems to be comparatively un- important. Yet Edison knows the inn mense value of his discovery. He expects that his cement will drive out quarried stone and brick as building materials. He foresees as the result of his discovery that 1t will cost very little to build houses. and that there- fore rents will be very low. He also foresees that these same houses will be as nearly fireproof as concrete and steel frames can make them.
 With cement so cheap a house will be poured" not builded. And the pour ing'' of the house will occupy but a few days. The house will be habitable when the concrete solidifies. e,
 For several years MT. Edison has been working on the cement problem and the problem of making cheap and practical storage batteries. Both in- ventions have now been perfected. In- surance Engineering, which will be published tomorrow. will contain an interview of It's editor with Mr. Edison. The inventor says cement, combined with steel, will be the building mate rial of the future, and continues:
 My impression is that the time will come when each contractor will have standard forms of houses, twenty or thirty varieties. The forms will be made of wood. and contractor, using one of the standard shapes. will sim ply go out and pour house.
 There will probably be hundreds of designs. The contractors will put up their concrete mixer and have their beams and forms ready. They will pour the form for the first story, and so on. To do that all they will require will be common labor--a few men and one boss.
 ''That is what I think will be done eventually. And such a house can be there will not be much use for carpen- ters then. There will be cabinet makers. to be sure. Why, even the floors and stairs will be made of con- trete."
 MT. Edison was asked if Portland cement would be cheap enough for gen. eral use.
 "Yes, I think so," he said. When the price of cement gets to be $1 a barrel or S5 ton and people know they can get it for that there will be enormous quantities of it used"
 The inventor said that one part of cement. three parts of sand and five parts of broken stone would be the mixture for concrete, and that broken stone was better than broken brick.
 In reply to question as to the thickness of walls in the ordinary house he said: "The bottom course ought to be of Portland cement, twelve inches up to the first story and eight inches above the first story. The roofs will be of cement also."

SHOT FROM THE REAR
DETAILS or KILLING or DR.
 PAYNE.
James r. Cook, the Slayer, Is Sup posed to Have Been Actuatsd by Jealousy - Security
 Company Litigation.

Birmingham, May S1.--(Special) )-Dr John Payne, who was shot by James r. Cook in the formers office at Hill- man. A suburban town, late yesterday afternoon died at 40 o'clock this morning from his wounds. Cook Is in inc county jail here, having surren. dered soon after the shooting, as stat ed in last nights dispatches.
 Further particulars concerning the tragedy and the circumstances which led up to 1t were learned today. Just before the shooting Payne and hit slayer had gone out from the city to- pether on the same dummy train. Af- fer reaching Hillman, Payne went to his office. A few moments later Cook entered Payue's office and Is said to have remarked: Doe. wouldn't you like to have q glass of fresh water?'' The physician replied affirmatively whereupon Cook took a pitcher from a stand and went to a pump outside and p,,fnped some fresh water and brought 1t in. The stand upon which Cook placed the nitcher was directly behind Payne. who was sitting down. AS Cook stood at the stand he drew q .4l cslibre revolver and aiming 1t at the unsuspecting man fired two shots. One bullet struck Payne in the back of the head and the other in the lower part of the neck. The wound paralyzed Payne in the lower part Of the body and he could not move, but he cried 0ut: Don't shoot me any more.' The request was opeyed.
 Cook then quietly left and coolly walking to the nearest house, told the lady of the house that he had shot Dr. Payne. and requested her to send for a physician. The shooting quickly at tracted a crowd, and while still in his office. Dr. Payne told a number of per- sons how the sho oting occurred. Among the first to arrive at the side of the wounded man was B. J. Edlen of West End. who, strangely enough, was on his way to the omce of pr. Payne to warn him against Cook when the fatal shooting took place.
 Dr. Payne said to Mir. Edlen when he came in. "Well. you told me he would shoot me. and he has done 1t" Mir, Edlen had warned him against Cook on a previous occasion.
 Edlen said today that he had seen Cook in Q store at West End about noon yesterday and that he was talk ing in such a way as to make him ap- prehensive that he intended to kill Dr. Payne. He said that Cook said that he could not work or do anything for thinking about his troubles and that he wished he (Cook) was dead. It seems that Cook had formerly lived In a house belonging to Dr. Payne and that he had separated from his wife, it is said, on account of jealousy. due to Payne's alleged attentions to her. Per sons who resided near the scene of the tragedy say that Payne was very pop ular and 90 far as they knew there was yn appa rant ratfsa f0r Cnok t0 be tcal- ous of Payne. The supposition is that 1t was this jealousy on Cooks part which led him to separate from lis wife. Dr. Payne was prominent member of the Jefferson Cou1:y Med ical Society and stood very high n the profession. Cook refuses to make a statement,
