Feminine Gambling.

The ladies of the town Of Arens-
burg, Germany, are passionate
card players. Since they are not
allowed to play at the local clubs.
they make up games all day
through AS soon as the cash
funds run short they take to various
articles, mostly toilet belongings.
Thus one lost to another her corset,
one lost a bonnet, a third some lace
and perfumes, and they go even so
far as losing their prayer-books.

QUEER WAY
OF Gambling Common Among
The Chinese.
Betting on Number Of Seed in an
Orange, Cricket Fights,
Etc.

One of the most common ways of
betting 10 China is with oranges
This goes on at the fruit stalls and
also in private houses. The bet is
on the number of seeds in ano. ange.
Sometimes it is as to wheth, the
number is odd or even, and others
as to the exact number of sevos the
orange contains. If at a fr.tt stand,
the dealer will pay the lucNy guess
er FIVE times his bet, but the loser
must pay the value of the orange
and also five times as much as he
has wagered.
Quail fighting is done on a table
with a little fence about its edge.
The fighting quails have been
starved for some time. AS they are
put into the pen a few grains of rice
or wheat are laid before them, and
they at once begin to fight over
them. They are trained for. the
purpose, and good fighter is worth
Sl00 and upward.
1t is the same with the crickets.
Their prize rings are little bowls.
The crickets have been trained.
They seem to understand their mas
ters' word. and they are urged on
to the combat with straws.
The Chinese understand how to
feed and groom the crickets for the
fray. They give them honey, boiled
chestnuts and boiled rice and Ger
tain kinds of FISH. They DO NOT all
low any one to smoke near them. If
the crickets grow sick they feed
them upon mosquitoes and red ants.
In a cricket fight the crickets are
weighed before they are put in the
ring. They are matched as to size
and color. The betting is done just
as carefully as at an English horse
race. The stakes are held by a
committee, which deducts certain
per centage for those who own the
fighting houses. During the fight
the gamblers grow excited. They
scream and yell and hop up and
down as one insect gets the advan-
tage of the other, and go almost
mad when one WINS.
The Chinese have all sorts of
games, but mostly games of chance.
Even in klte-hying the boys and
men-for even the men fly kites
will try to see which has the strong
est string, forcing his string against
the string of the others to break
them. In such contests the strings
are often soaked with glue and
busted with powdered glass that
they may cut or saw the better
At every feast, however, there
are games of guessing upon which
money is staked. London Mail

dates were taken up by the Democratic
party, and labor Mayors were elected
in a chain of Connecticut cities. This
sentiment has spread all through New
York State, through New Jersey and
New England. 1t is rampant in Penn
sylvania and in Ohio. 1t exists further
West in Indiana and Illinois.
1t has ben famed to a flame by the
trust question, by the over-capitaliza-
ton of corporations, by the combina-
ton of dealers in the necessaries of
life to create a monopoly and arbitra-
rily fix prices. The Beef Trust and it's
eXactions during last winter and spring
was one thing that greatly tended to
the augmentation of this sentiment. The
coal strike and famine added fuel to
the flames, contradictory as the term
may seem. The Democrats have been
quick to take advantage of this. They
have assumed the attitude that the
Republican party is the mother of
trusts; that trusts under Republican
rule have become almost dominant in
Congress and in Republican party
councils; that the wage Garner and the
men with salaries are being crushed
through the great increase in the cost
OF living and that the only hope for
relief lies in the application of fantas-
tic and drastic remedies by the Demo-
cratic party

NEXT CONGRESS
WILL BE REPUBLICAN BY MAR
ROW MAJORITY - DEMOCRATS
WILL RECOVER LOST GROUND.

NEW YORK, October 26.-The New
York Herald's non-partisan poll of for
ty-five States which will elect 1856 menu
bers of the House of Representatives
for the Fifty-eighth Congress shows
that the Republicans will probably be
able to control the organization of that
body, but by a very narrow majority.
To win the control the Republicans must
elect 1874 members. The Herald returns
give them 200. They also show that
there are III reasonably certain dis
tricts for the Democrats and fifteen
districts doubtful \ general Demo-
cratic drift in the East, with a very
heavy vote for Coler in Greater New
York-approaching that Of Cleveland
in 1882, when he carried what afterward
became the greater city by l1l,O0O plu-
rality would not only wipe out the
slender indicated Republican majority
in Congress, but would sweep most OF
these doubtful districts to the Demo-
Gratis and give them control.
This is a tremendous turnover from
the Congressional elections of 1900. Al
that time the Republicans had ma
iority of forty-six members. Appar-'
emily now that majority has almost
been wiped out. Hard luck for the
Republicans in the closing days of the
campaign few mistakes or a tenden-
cy of the Independent voters, even
slight, toward democracy, and it is
gone.
The Senate, with Legislatures in
doubt in Idaho, Indiana and Pennsy,-
vania, and with Delaware likely to so
Democratic, viii probably stand: Re
! publicans, so; Democrats, IS; doubtful,

1t has ben high tide in the Repub-
lican party in the nation for almost ten
years. The tide is ebbng. Whether it
will turn before the next Presidential
election is a question: but it is pew
fectly clear Judging from political con-
ditions prevailing ten days before the
elections, that the voters are changing
their views in sufficient numbers to
cause the gravest apprehenions on the
part of the Republican managers.
Perhaps the most significant sign of
the times Is the growth OF what may
be properly termed socialistic sentiment
in this country. II is appearing very
much as the populistic sentiment APP
peared just prior to 1892, only this time
the sentiment is in the Eastern States
and in the Middle West. Then it was
largely in the South and far West. II

CURRENCY UNDER
SPANISH RULE
DESCRIBED AS A NIGHTMARE
NEW COINAGE PROMISES TO I'M
PROVE MATTERS IN MANILA.

The issue of the peso Filipinas, as
the new coin intended for use in the
Philippines is styled, promise to i'm
prove financial matters in those islands,
but at the same time it may, unless
remedied legislation is enacted, in
crease the extraordinary confusion
which has prevailed there for thirty
years. The story of the currency under
Spanish rule is a nightmare Under
Spanish rule the only principle seems
to have been the exploitation of the ISL
ands and their people. This was done
with an ingenuity and thoroughness
which would make a Tammany con-
tractor hold up his hands in admira-
ton. The result was a drain of treas
ure which at times became a positive
currency famine.
So strong has been the demand for
money at Manila that the rates of eX-
change between that city and Hong
Kong, Annoy, Foo Chow and Singapore
the four ports with which 1t did the
largest business, have frequently been
1870, 1875 and 40. This enormous price
for cash has enabled cautious Euro
pean ana Chinese merchants to sell
Manila cigars for less in the cities
named than what they cost upon pa
per at the factory. The continual flow

Spain brought the Spanish peso or dol
lar into disuse, so that while the mo-
mentary unit of the Filipinos is the
peso or Spanish dollar, it may be ques-
toned If one of the coins is in circula-
ton in the far east.
In order to protect their coinage the
Manila cabinet passed a law prohibit
ing the use of other coins and the i'm
portation OF all Mexican dollars of
modern make. This increased the face
value of the Spanish dollar, drove 1t
still further out of circulation, and
started an Industry in the conversion
of new into old Mexican dollars.
From 1885 until the present time the
money drawers in Manila stores have
been more like numismatic cabinets
than receptacles for currency. The
most popular forms of money were
English bank notes and gold notes of
the Hong Kong and Shanghai corpora
ton, Mexican dollars, American trade
dollars, chop dollars, which are Euro
pean or American coin that have been
chopped or hammered by the Chinese
tradesmen into unwieldly silver coins
