late Senator Fair, and was one of the
heirs to the immense estate left by
him. It is peculiar that the son of the
late John w. Macl1ay, one of Senator
Fairs partners, was also killed near
Paris few years ago by being thrown
from his horse.
The accident was evidently due to
the bursting of tire. At the time
when it occurred the auto, which was
capable of running "A miles an hour,

ever since the machines came into use
abroad. He was one of the first to
bring automobiles to this coast, and
he owned three or four Of them. He
had what was perhaps the largest and
swiftest automobile in California.
He was one of the three heirs to an
immense estate, estimated in value at
between s25, 900, 900 and $50, oOo, 900.

Queer Names Given by CeIestlaIs to
Instruments of Gambling.
If there is one thing the Chinese
in America cannot understand regard
ing our customs it is why the police
and courts should take cognizance Of
gambling. 1t is a recognized amuse-
ment in China, and the Chinamar is
reckless gambler.
They have several kinds OF playing
cards, but the general name for them
Is che-pae, or paper tickets. The
cards are two inches and half in
length and half an inch wide, and
the kind most commonly used are
called tseen-wan-chepae, "a thousand
times ten thousand cards." This pack
has thirty cards-three suits of nine
each and three independent cards,
which are superior to the rest. The
suits are named respectively mine
myriads of strings of beads" mine
units OF cakes" and mine units Of
chains"
There are several queer names for
other varieties of playing cards. One
is called ''the hundred boys cards, ;"
another "chariots, horses and guns, I"
and third, curiously devised on the
principle Of some of our historical
games, is called "a thousand times

CABLE FULL CASUALTY LIST
Order Given To Report Names
Twice Every Month
OF ENLISTED MEN WHO DIE.

Oyster Bay, Aug 1S.-The president
has given orders that hereafter the
names of the enlisted men of the army
who died in the Philippines be cabled
to this country once in every two
weeks. When the volunteer army was
in the archipelago it was the custom
to cable the casualties, but on the
withdrawal of that army the practice
was discontinued.
The subject was discussed while the
president was entertaining a number
of visitors at luncheon and the cabling
the names of the dead soldiers was
preached by one of the visitors, who
made the point that under the present
system the relatives of enlisted men
who die in the Philippines are kept in
ignorance of this fact for eight or ten
weeks, while the families of officers
who succumb there are informed at
once. The president was greatly in
terested and as it was explained to
him, ordered General Corbin to in
struct General Chaffee, at Manila, to
cable his full casualty list twice
month. While it costs on an average
oy 81. so to cable news to this country
Of the death OF an officer in the Phil
ippines, it costs about $50 for each
enlisted man. The difference is due to
the fact that the war department has
code numbers for all It's officers, while
the names of the enlisted men, together
with their company, regiment, etc,
must be sent in full.

Extra Session of Senate.

Washington, Aug. 19.-Tallc- of an
extra session of the senate to ratify
the proposed reciprocity treaty with
Cuba has been revived, although the
tip has not been given out from Oyster
Bay. The belief that the president
will summon the senate to meet before
the regular session is largely based
upon his well known determination to
dispose of the Cuban question at the
earliest possible date, and in such a
way as to give relief to the island. If
the matter is not taken up until the
regular session, other questions would
intervene and there would be delay.

monster it is. He was about two
miles from Boon Island when he felt
a tug on his 6-pound line. He COM
menced to pull in, but found that he
had tackled hard job. He finally
got the monster into the boat and
brought it in. The fish is Of a muddy
color, over feet long, and with a
head that is fully three-quarters of a
yard wide at the widest part. It has
q mouth resembling that Of a shark,
and small teeth The teeth are not
hard, as would naturally be expected
in a fish of this size. Its eyes are
about as big round as an old fashioned
copper cent. The fish weighs zoo
pounds. One of the strangest things
about the fish is the apparent absence
of bones=Kennebec Journal
