VALUABLE INVENTION.

A card shufiling machine has been invented by a Cleveland man. It should make business poor for crooked card players. The device is compli- cated, yet simple in it's action.
 Card players who want a fair and honest game are enthusiastic in their praise of my machine.'' says the in ventor. They say it shuffies cards more thoroughly than can possibly be done by hand, and that it is impossible for a dealer to put up a hand to suit himself. I have exhibited the machine to a number of professional gamblers. Some of the keepers of gambling rooms told me they would do all they could to prevent the machine from being put in use, because it takes away all the advantage which the dealers skill in shuffiing gives to the house. But when the machine gets into the rooms where square games are played the fair play CTS will go there, and the crooked rooms will then be compelled to adopt it's use also"
 The shuffiing machine is a metal box about twelve inches high, three inches wide and six inches from front to back. All the mechanism is inside. The cards are dropped in at the top and rest on a tiny shelf. Below this there are five steel blades extending across the full width of the machine. When a shutter on the front is dropped the shelf falls and the cards drop upon the blades and are separated into five little irregular punches by the fingers. The blades separate, and one by one cards drop from the various punches into a re- ceptacle at the bottom, the drop being regulated by clockwork mechanism.

TRIUMPHAL ARCHES
Some Modern Instances of These An
 cient Monuments.

There is little to recommend the generally received ideG that the tri- umphal arch arose from q fashion or decorating the gate of a city against the return of a conqueror. although in its simplest form the arch does appeGr to symbolize a door portion of a house which has been decorated in one way another by the people at home, in order to testify their joy at the return of some one who has given them reason to be proud of him. Nevertheless. the triumphal arch appears to have started independently of city gatherings. T. was symbol in itself. whether Q crude structure of two posts and a crossbar, or the very elaborate marble buildings erected at Rome to commemorate vic toreis and at the same time form :, monument to some member of the i'm perial family. Naturally enough, the specimens that are extant belong u the better class, since they are built enduringly of stone; but their existence in such costly material testifes to many forerunners in perishable form which were erected in much the same way as was the temporary structure at New York in honor of the American navy. built after the designs of Mir. Charles R. Lamb. to add splendor to the greeting given by New York to Admiral Dewey and the sailors of the Philippine fleet.

A HANDICAPPED RUNAWAY
In the Nature of Things It Could net
 Have Resulted Seriously.

yesterday afternoon when neithar the driver nor providence were looking a new horse bought by MT. J. C. Adams was accidentally released from it's moorings in front of the hotel. It start ed on a wild parade down Center street and men held their breath. This was particularly difficult matter in tn. case of one or two men who had just come out of the bar.
 The runaway horse curved in and out of a street thronged with vehicles and there were numerous prophecies that somebody would be killed before the race was over. "I wouldn't give q nickel for that buggy when Adams gets it back" said one man: and the horse will De as good as ruined" Another said: Adams will have some lives and broken limbs to pay for. That will knock some of the profits off his hotel and chicken ranch.'
 Everybody but one ran out Of the Hotel Adams barber shop to watch the tragedy. That one was in chair with his face covered with lather and with numbe rless towels tucked about his throat and neck. He wouldn't have gone anyhow. As soon as he learned that it was MT. Adams horse that had run away he lost all interest in the in cident for he knew that nothing disas- trous could possibly result. He remem- bered one afternoon about three years ago MT. Adams happened into an in surance office and took out some light ming insurance for his hotel. That same night lightning struck the hotel and knocked a half dozen bricks off the northwest corner for which the com pany paid $100 and wanted to cancel the policy.

DECISION RESERVED
Preliminary Hearing Closed Of
Alleged Accomplice in
Rice Murder.

New York, April 1.-THE hearing
in the case of Albert T. Patrick,
charged with the murder of the aged
millionaire, William Marsh Rice, clos
ed this afternoon and Justice Jerome
announced that he reserved his de-
cision, but hoped to make it known
by next Monday. 1t rests with JUS
tice Jerome whether or not Patrick
will be held to the grand jury. Mean
while, Patrick will remain in the
Tombs.
In summing up for the prisoner, his
counsel, Mr.. Moore, presented several
reasons why he thought Patrick
should be freed. The last one was
this: Admitting, if you will, that
Patrick is guilty of forgery, it is a
corroboration that has no bearing on
the charge of murder. We contend
that there is no evidence that Rice
was murdered
''That may be" Justice Jerome said.
'but under the common law on the
statement of Jones alone, l should
have to hold the defendant for the
grand jury. Whether the statutes
change this, in regard to holding a
defendant for ---e grand jury, is the
question. That is mere question of
law and can be easily settled
Mr.. Moore, acting for David l..
Short and Maurice Meyers, waived
examination of the charges for for
gerry against them, as he also did
concerning the charge of forgery
against Patrick. The latter was re-
manded to the Tombs without bail on
the murder charge, but no bail was
fixed for him in the forgery matter,

bonds of $1,000 each

he now resides. Some of them frank
ly confessed that they never heard an
unkind word spoken of him and this
cannot be attributed to fear, for the
students are accustomed to talk freely
among themselves. Thus the idea
that the students, as body, are plot

ground. Emperor Nicholas certainly

President Loubet will proceed to his
home at Montelimar, in the depart
ment Of the Drome, to visit his aged
mother and take few days repose
after the fatigues Of the many func-

him occupied from early morning till
late at night. The satisfactory man
ner in which the whole affair has been
carried out has been a personal sue
cess for M. Loubet. Nothing but
praise is heard from his opponents at
the able manner in which he has
played his part. The accounts agree
that not false note has disturbed the
harmony and the tact displayed on all
sides was marvellous.

was going on without interruption.
Nearly mile of track was laid yester-

necessary work.
Attorney G. G. Whittmore of the

track today. He says his road has a
force on the ground preparing the
grade and chat an additional force is
being sent He says that no physical
force has been used by his company
but that his men have been compelled
by superior numbers to give way to
the Oregon Short Line force which, is
laying track Oh the grade prepared by
his men. He has instructions from
the general officers of the Los Angeles
& San Pedro railroad to spare no nee
essary expense III protecting the in

Speaking on the question of legal
rights Whittemore said: "The Short
Line went into a contest with us be-
fore the United States land office of
Nevada to determine ownership of the
Lincoln county grade and when the
decision went against them they
undertook to gain by force what was
denied them by law. -
On the other hand the Oregon Short

taken in the nature Of injunction pro-

EXAGGERATED STORIES OF PLOTS

London, April LA dispatch from

that the stories of plots against the
life of the .czar which found their way
into the American press through Eng
ish, German, American and French
channels, were common talk on the
streets of St. Petersburg months be-
fore they were published, but their in
herent improbability and falsity to
facts caused them to be generally dis
believed. The reports to the effect
that the czar was living behind steel
walls, and continually running from
one desk to another in his study, for
fear of bombs, aroused nothing bat
ridicule. Alarm has been felt in all
circles for the life of the czar, as the
avowed anarchists and revolutionists
have been displaying unusual activity
since the beginning of the student
troubles. Il would not be going too
far to say that the students central

BATTLE WITH VICE
Gambling and Other Lawlessness
Protected by New York T
Police.

New York, April 1.-THE commit
tee of 15 organized some months ago
to Investigate vice as it exists in this
! city, made it's preliminary report to
the public today. This report will
be followed by others from time to
time as the committee deems neces-
sary.
The report says that the committee s
investigation disclosed the TACT that
gambling and pool rooms were being
operated openly in violation of the
law; that the gambling spirit had
been developed to such an extent as to
become a distinct menace to the COM
munity and that these resorts were
undoubtedly protected in their opera
tions by officers whose duty it was to
close them. Raids were made by the
committee and its agents and the re
suits obtained show conclus1vely that
committee of citizens can force the
police to close such resorts, thus prov
ing that vice is protected, and also
that the raids have resulted in making
the gambling business improbable.
The committee says the actual con-
dltions OF the tenement problem are
altogether with respect to secret evil
and that of 1876 tenement houses that
were examined by its agents and in
which disorde1ly women were living,
there were found in each an average
of % children under the age of IS
years, and the committee is collecting
evidence with which to eliminate this
evil. It is also Investigating the or
ganlzed traffic in young girls by the
so-called "cadet" system.
The committee recommends the
urgent necessity of providing suitable
places of meeting where people in each
neighborhood can come together and
discuss evils that menace their civil
life, and where they may from time
to time meet their legislative repre-
sentatives with view to obtaining
from them an account of their
and where remedies may
be proposed and discussed. There
fore, recommendation is made that in
each district one:suitable assembly hall
shall be built which shall be kept
available for such citizens meetings,
and it throws out the suggestion that
these might be built IN connection
with the new public libraries which
are likely to be erected in every part
of Greater New York.

FOR YEARS WOMAN MASOUER-

DEATH REVEALS Her SEX
Leaves Long Forgotten Son and
Grand Daughter Claiming
Vast Estate.

Louisville. April 1.-THE Courier
Journal tomorrow will say Hugh H.
Haviland of Greeneville. Ky., claims
to be one of the heirs to tile fortune
left by DIR. Theodore Keattle," an
other Murray Hail. CDR. Keattle''
died at Punta Gorda. Fla in 1886.
Then it was discovered THAI the doe
t,r' was woman and tn.i for -
years she had masqueradel The w.,-
man was mother.
Those who are supposed TO know,
say that in 1853 little bow was placed
ir the Protestant Eplscapll ORPHAN:
asylum at Louisville by 81: Kea;fie. .
then confessedly woman, ls;.awn as
Kate" Haviland. The Eoys. name was
Hugh H. Haviland. He was ,utcr
bound out tC a farmer and finally
rose to an independent 1 ,sition at
Greenville. This is the stn'y Of 41uyn
Fl Haviland told by L.n..:elf in a let
ter to the Courier Journal.
For nearly 40 years h= knew ,t'i-
ing of his parents. Then came Il let
ter from New York lawyer T.; Turle-
ton Goldthwaite, 141 Brcld.vav who
wrote that while searching for the
heirs of ''Dr. Keattle," whom death ,'t,-
vealed to be woman. he had found
that in 1853 she, going by the name of
Kate" Haviland, had placed Hugh H.
Haviland in the Protestant Episcopal
orphans asylum at Louisville. Hugh
H. Haviland, at Greenville, is regarded
as that boy. That Kate" Haviland
was DIR. Keattle." was, it is said, prac-
tically established by witnesses in
New York and Brooklyn. But Hugh
Haviland is heir to but half the for
tune.
A girl, who is expected to divide it
with him, Grace M. ClarF-Elliott
Haviland's niece, so Lawyer Goldth-
waite says, believes herself sole heir
ess to 1mbra Clark of Australia, who
lands little sister, Kate" Haviland's
other child, according to LAWYER
Goldthwaite, was put by her mother
with foster parents.
The girl grew up, married Imbra
Clark and went west with him. In
1873 they went to San Francisco and
there child was born Within two
weeks the delicate mother, Kate"
L
was placed in the hands of Mrs.
Martha A. Griswold, superintendent of
the home of the friendless, by Imbra
Clark who sailed almost Immediately
for Australia.
Several years after Mrs. Griswold
heard of Clark's death and advertised
for some one to adopt the little or
phan girl. The Elliotts responded, and
August 21, 1873, were granted papers
of adoption by the court in San Fran
cisco. In 1897 the Elliotts learned
that Imbra Clark had left fortune of
$25, 100000, to which there was, an
heir, and began a fight for their foster
daughters rights. The estate is tied
up in the English courts and though
hundreds of claimants have come for
ward, none has been able to prove
claims to the satisfaction of the Brit
ish authorities.
Grace M. Clark-Elliott had almost
given up hope when Goldthwaite's let
ter came, telling her she was heiress
to the estate of her grandmother, the
spurious ''Dr. Keattle' of Punta Cor
da, Fla. Now Miss Elliott expects to
prove her claim.

M0B'S MAD FRENZY
Public Building Burned Because
Set Aside for Pest
House.

Bradford, Pa, April 11-This town
is greatly excited tonight over tile
! burning by mob Of the public build

Three weeks ago a smallpox case
developed here, the patient being a
railway man, named William Meyers.
The victim was isolated in his rooms
in the Armstrong block, the board Of
health lacking pest house, and soon
recovered. Later five new cases de-
veloped and the board OF health decid-
ed to secure temporary pest house.
A vacant school house in the Second
ward was selected and carpenters and
plumbers were put to work fitting it
up. When it became known, people
residing near by became greatly
wrought up and resolved to make trou-
BILE.
Tonight at 6:30 O'Clock mob Of
over 500 men and women surrounded
the school house. They surrounded
firm, while the incendiuries battered
down the door and set fire to the
place. All who tried to pevent the
fire were kept back and in few
minutes the entire structure, a large
two and half story wooden building,
was in flames Plumbers tools and
other articles in the house were de-
stroyed and excitement ran high, men
and women running up and down the
streets crying against the board Of
health. AS the flames rolled and
cracked the mob howled it's delight.
Dire threats were made as to what
would be done If the police or health
officers interferred, but there was no
interference.
No arrests have been made.
