Senator Depew Discusses Monte Car
10 and the State Of MatTimony.
(BrOoklyn Eagle)


Senator Chauncey NJ. Depew came
back on the steamship st. Louis and
brought with him his bride of a few
weeks, who was Miss May Palmer,
after being married three times in sue
cessiOn and enjoying the adventurous
trip to Monte Carlo and the Riviera.
The senator was as bOisterous and as
g0Od-humOred as ever, and goodnat-
uredly answered all the questions put
to him by dozen newspap per men for
ar hour, while the ship was coming up
the bay.
Senator DepeW received his question
ers in the main saloon of the steam
ship, and his first act was TO introduce
his young wife to whom he termed his
newspaper friends" Mrs. Depew was
seated at one of the long tables, and
was dressed in a long brown steamer
cloak and wore red felt hat trimmed
with red flowers. She was slightly pale,
and was said by the senator to have
suffered greatly from the trip, which
was very rough. The senator stasted
in by telling his and his wife's expea-
ence at Monte Carlo.

when I left Monte Carlo said Sens
ator Depew, every one was laughing
at the Earl Of ROsslyn and his system.
AS I understand It, the earl started
in with a capital of $4,000, and began
playing with 5000 franc notes. When I
left the earl was playing with 5-franc
pieces. which I think looks very bad
for his system. It was the rumor in
Monte Carlo that the earIs capital had
dwindled 10 about $500.
Monte Carlo is the saddest place
ever saw. Even those who win look
! s0rrOwful. One little incident that oc-
CURED while I was there 1 shall never
I forget. 1 saw a young man put 1000
I franc note on a number and win,
doubling IL. He then placed the whole
amount on the same number and won
/ again. He kept on playing in this way
until he had won 1900 francs, which
/ is about s., 400.
HE then pocketed his winnings and
made for the door, but that was as far
as he got. 7 saw the young man hesl-
I tate and look around the room. Then
I he sauntered back 10 the tables ana
/ glanced around With an apparent er-
fort he buttoned his coat and again
made for the door, but only went half
way there this time. When 1 left he
was losing the money just about as
fast as he got it. not having the
strength or win power to turn away.
Another night I saw rich man
/ who was playing for the fun Of the
thing win FIVE times on the same num-
: Der. and stufing the bank pieces in his
pocket, depart smiiingly from the
( room"
Senator Depew then told of his trip
over TO France on the Kaiser Wilhelm
der Crosse. and described the wonderful
working OF the Marconi wireless tele-
gtayn system Whica was in use on the
vessel.
