THE SCOOP NET MAN.
Whore He Figures in the Departure
of Big Liners.


Just before Ward liner leaves her
East River pier for Cuba or Mexico
big. strapping negro, carrying a net
attached to long pole takes up his
position alongside the gangplank and
nervously looks from those gathered
on the wharf to the tourists assembled
alongside the steamers rails. When
the gangplank is hauled to the wharf
the negros eyes roll in every direc-
ton, and he fidgets the pole as if he
had an awful responsibility upon his
brawny shoulders. The net is about
the size of one used in Grabbing, but
the pole is about three times as long.
Sometimes the net and pole are not
used at all, and the negro goes away
and puts 1t into locker when the
ship backs into the stream. His face
brightens up as he does this. FIRE.
quently messengers arrive on the wharf
late with bundles, letters or kilograms;
or passengers on the ship about to
back away suddenly remember some
thing which they jot down quickly
and pass ashore. 1t is under such
emergencies that the negro and his
scoop net play their short inning. Quick
as the flash of gunpowder he places
the package or message in the bottom
of the net, and with a deft turn of his
wrist pokes the article in question I'M
der the nose of its owner. No other
steamship line uses a scoop net in this
way, and ordinarily once the gang
plank is withdrawn communication be-
tween the ship and the shore is closed
except to the old-fashioned and sell
dom-successful mode of hurting let
ter wrapped up in bunch of keys
aboard, or to the more expensive habit
of chasing the craft with a special
chartered tugboat. At best this net
play Is quick move, for scarcely a
few minutes mark the removal of the
steamers gangplank and the start Of
the ship streamward. 81 once passed
a pocketbook aboard that a passenger
had forgotten" said the knight Of the
net recently. l learned it had $4,000
in 1t. The wife of the man going
away brought it down just as the
plank had been pulled in. The ship
had begun to go astern, and tell you
them lawn tennis chaps never had to
play as fine a game of touch and go as
1 did then. This net delivery is the
invention of the stevedore, whose men
have had to put valuable papers aboard
ship on the fly. 1t is the only system
of its kind in the country, so far as
knew. We are all very proud of the
plan.-New York Press.

This is a piece of pugilistic slang and

surrounding circumstances. A bland
assurance of his belief that the parties

and agreeably closed the incident.

IN CAROLAND.
Gambling In England Some Two Hundred
Years Ago

After the advent of the House Of
Hanover, the favorite games at court
were "quadrille," an improvement OF
'ombre," and Commerce" The gains
and losses of the kings and queens
were as a rule restricted to 100 gui-
meas, but on twelfth night 1t was GUS
tomary for thousands to change hands.
On one occasion Lady Cowper, lady
in waiting, refused, for the sake Of
her children, to take part in the game,
as none sat down to the table with
less than s200, About the year 1740,
a rage for "whisk," or whist, set in,
but at first it was considered too wise
game for ladies to join in. Hume,
the historian, and even the great
Johnson regretted that he had not
learned to play cards. In 1742, Horny"
Walpole finds it absolutely necessary
to learn "whisk," having waited in
vain for its being left off," We find
build an altar to Pam" to commemo-
rate the escape of his charming Ouch
ess of Grafton, who, 1t appears, had
been playing cards in Rome, when
she ought to have been at cardinals
reception, where the floor fell in and
all the monsignors were precipitated
into the cellar! Cards were so very
much in evidence in his time that even
invitations we're frequently issued and
notes written upon the backs of play
ing cards, which on that account were
usually plain without any design. The
chevaliers famous order to retreat at
Culloden was written on the back Of
the nine of hearts.
A fresh attempt was made in 1873
to remedy the state of gambling in
England. by passing an act which pro-
vided that ANY person keeping a
house or other place to game in for
feits S200, half to the prosecutor and
half to the poor Of the parish"
Whereupon two ladies of title, Mord-
ington and Casselis, who kept open
houses for gambling, claimed their
privilege of peerage in order to in
timidate the peace officers from doing
their duty and suppressing the public
gaming houses kept by them.-Long-
mans Magazine.

the action of the United States authori-

will prevent many consumptives from

for Colorado and California While the

the southern states are not usually re-
garded as immigrants. it is said they
could be classed under the order.
