EXTRAORDINARY GAMBLING.
A Russian Nobleman Loses 100000
Inside of Four Hours.

e.
Tn the rooms of the Vienna Jockey
Club. surrounded by Austrian noblemen,
and drinking imperial tokay at 500 q
bottle. Count Joseph Potocki lost 100000
in four hours of play at baccarat-the
biggest loss that was ever made by one
individual in game of cards.
The imperial chancellor, Goluchowski,
who stood by Potocki's side and saw
the money lost, has been severely reprl-
manded by the emperor.
Opposed to Count Potocki in the colos-
sal game were the Hungarian deputy,
Herr Won Szemere, and Prince Francis
Braganza Won Szemere won $5O0,Ooo
from Potocki and Prince Braganza
$3.50 900. The remaining $4,000 can prob
ably be accounted for by the outstand-
inc. PLAYERS and the percentage OF the
table.
Taking cognizance of these facts. the
authorities have instituted proceedings
against Potocki and the principal win
ners. They have been notified that they
are not to leave Vienna without especial
permission.
Potocki apparently came into the
Jockey Club on the evening in question
with the deliberate intention OF retriev-
irg his losses by grand coup. Won
Szemere not being a wealthy man, the
stakes were at first moderate. Both the
Hungarian deputy and Prince Braganza
won steadily from the outset.
Then the unfortunate and reckless
count forced the high play and plunged
desperately. His opponents, having won
so largely. could not refuse his demands
to increase the stakes. They rolled up
thousands and tens of thousands.
Potocki was apparently mad. His face
was pale, his eyes fevered and cleaning,
his hands clinched, his hair disordered.
Prince Braganza and Won SZemere were
cool and collected. Crowds of noblemen
gathered about the table, looking at the
tremendous play in astonishment. They
were Mortified at Potockfs losses.
During the game an elderly member
of the Jockey Club entered the card
took the framed notice prohibiting
gambling from the wall and placed it on
the table before the Russian plunger.
Potocki. now intensely excited sprang
10 his feet, seized the framed notice and
threw it into the fire. He then called for
several bottles of imperial tokay at 800
q bottle, and began to drink deeply.
When Potocki had lost $780, 600 and the
excitement was at it's height, Count
Henry Hoyos endeavored to induce Po-
tocki to leave the table. The count was
rebuffed and Immediately left the room.
The game was conducted in regular
fashion and has not been questioned.
The emperor has ceDsured Count Golu-
chowski because he did not use his great
influence to check the play. Since the
game the Jockey Club has been closed

GAVE HER HIS TROUSERS.
Embarrassing Joy of Filipino When
a White Girl Spoke His Language.

Mrs Mabel LOOMS Todd, wife of the
Amherst astronomer, was telling the
Appalachian Mountain Club the other
evening about her experiences in the
Philippine islands last summer one in
cident of which contained a warning
against too great lingual facility.
The party with which Mrs Todd was
sojourning included relative of one OF
the civil commission. young lady who
had lived several years in Samoa. The
party had reached one of the southern
Islands of the Philippine archipelago
and We're meeting" group of the ma
tives that had come to greet them.
These natives appeared to be somewhat
different from the run of Filipinos and
were particularly distinguished by the
very handsome beadwork on their gar
ments. Men and women wore 1t In
elaborate and exquisitely designed fig
ures All the ladies of the touring party
coveted specimens but all attempts to
buy some were fruitless. The natives
would not sell on any consideration.
The young lady who had lived go long
in Samoa overheard their conversation
and remarked that she thought she un-
derstcod them, their dialect was 50
nearly like the Samoan language. Some
of the older ladies and chaperons OF the
young fry. urged her to go ahead and
see what she could with Samoan, which
she accordingly did. The chief. whom
she addressed, threw up his hands in
surprise. What said he, does the
white maiden talk our ianguage?" He
was evidently overjoyed and promptly
asked her the Samoan equivalent for
what he could do for herr"
She told him in her sweetest Samoan
how much she admired the heed work
on their garments and how much che
would like to buy piece of it to take
back to her own country and show her
countrymen how skillful and artistic

No" said the chief with a !ordly
wave of the hand. You shall not buy,
You shall take as gift" Whereupon
he quickly removed his trousers and
handed them over with the unblushing
grace of a child of nature.

WEAK LUNGED
PEOPLE.
Their Chance of Escaping Death
from Consumption.

If all weak lunged people were told
that their chances of escaping con-
sumption was only one in six, and that
after contracting the disease there was
but one chance in ten thousand of their
ever recovering unless they adopted
certain treatment, what a sensation 1t
would create.
Yet these are the exact facts m the
case. The number of people who die
annually from consumption alone av-
erage one in every family of six in the
United States, and medical records and
government statistics show that not a
single case has been cured excepting by
one treatment.
Thousands of weak lunged people who
thru their ignorance imagine that con-
sumption is hereditary apd that there
are dozen and one diffi rent remedies
which will cure it, go t. tfeir death
beds annually because of their ignor-
ance as to the true facts and 1t Is high
time they We're brought to reaiizing
sense of their danger.
Until Hyomei, the new dry-air germi-
eide. was discovered, deaths from con-
sumption increased over 20 per cent an
nually.
No reputable physician would ack-
nowIedge that there was cure for the
disease, and the United States health
reports never even mentioned one OF
the thousands Of treatments used.
Since Hyonlei was discovered. the
death rate from consumption is shown
to have decreased SO per cent annually.
1t has been endorsed by the United
States health reports and the medical
profession have declared Hyomei to be
the only cure known for cougs, catarrh,
the Only cure known for coughs. ca
tarrh pneumonia and consumption.
These are the facts as they stand to-
day and every person suffering from a
respiratory disease should learn the
truth about this new cure by writing to
the R. T. Booth Co, Ithaca, N. Y, for a
free sample of Hyomei, or IL you
