i The most intricate cheating device
constructed in connection with faro
was the high layout which was put
on the private market about six years
ago. 1t was necessary that the lay

lie as nigh as the box. and that is how
the invention got its name. AS a rule
the orX Is an inch and a half higher
than the layout.
The box had two mouths, the one
from which the cards are drawn in
the usual manner, and another open

used were slightly wedged. so that the
right hand lower corner of the second
or losing card jutted out under the
card which had Just won.

At the Armories.

New Orleans. Oct. 11.-At the
different military headquarters this
morning the scene was one of unusu-
oil activity. The work of rounding
up the tardy members and other de.
tails kept the officers on the jump.
About 1870 men wero in uniform at
the Washington Artillery arniory,
with Lieutenant Colonel John B..
Richardson in charge.
AT the Girod street armory Capt.
J.. W. Subbe said he had in the quer.
ters 200 mon, and more were coming,
but the primitive modes of travel
had seriously interfered with the
work of mastering tho men.
The first brigade of the Louisiana
Naval militin had about 10 men mus
tered. Lieutenant Spangenberg stat
ed that his mon were responding to
the call as rapidly as could be rem
sonably expected. And no stated that
IL tho conflict came, his organization
could be depended upon to do its duty
regardless of personal feeling.
The soldiers were in excellent
spirits, loudly praising their treat
ment. The morning menu at the
different headquarters consisted o
beef stow, potato salad, rolls and
coffee.

AMENDMENTS
MAY BE IG5T
CHANGES IN CONSTITUTION
MAY NOT BE EFFECTED
A LACK OF INTEREST
But Few Voters Have Familiar
lied Themselves with the
Amendments.

Jack son, Miss, Oct. 1.-The fear
Is generally felt that the three con-
stitutional amendments to be submit
ted at the November regular election
will DO lost OIL account Of the lack
Of interest among tho people in the
subject matter.
It is doubtful IL tho ton per cent
Of the qualified electors in Mississip-
pi have familiarizod themselves with
the purposes Of the three amendments,
and it Is we'll nigh assured that less
than fifty per cent Of the number of
registered voters will go to the polls
on election day. With this apathy
generally manifested in the state,
slight hope is felt that tho amend
ments will receive the required two
thirds majority of those participating
In the election.
The Noel elective judiciary amend
ments were lost from this self sam Q
cause, and it seems we'll nigh impos-
sible to get q constitutional amend
ment through in Mississippi, owing
solely to the lack of interest among
the voters. 1t is not a difficult mat.
ter to induce the legislature to sub
nit amendments to an election, but
the rub ZONES in attempting to in
duoe the people to vote for them.
The press Of the State has made q
half hearted attempt to stir up inter.
est among the people IN the three
amendments, but with little or nc
success.

CONATY'S SUCCESSOR,
Bishop Spalding, Erudite and
Influential, May Get
the Place.

Washington, D. @. Oct. 1.-THE
torn of office in the rectorship of the
Catholic University having been linn
tied by the %episcopate to six years;
and the present incumbent, Bishop
Conaty, finishing his years Of service
this Fall, considerable speculation is
rife as to what selection the board of
bishops will make at their annual
meeting this month. They have the
power to nominate three qualified
candidates and to submit their names
to Rome. The final selection must
be made by papal authority. 1t in
now regarded as practically certain
that the present rector will not be
renominated. 1t is known that the
Vatican does not regard successive re-
appointments with favor, ana "rota-
ton in office" was tho plea alleged
for the removal Of the first rector,
Archbishop Keanc. Again, since funds
are al ever-present need in all uni.
versity development, it is taken for
granted that whoever is rector, must
have the influence necessary to secure
the needed endowments. While il is
admitted that the existing departments
of the university have been strength
ened and made more efficient during
Mgr. Conaty's term, still there has
been no real growth in the direction
of opening new and needed depart
meDts. This lack of development is
due to the lack of new endowments
during the last six years. Moreover,
the present administration, while
marked with wisdom and prudence,
has not been of a character to give
the university that prominence in
eduotion which the church authori.
ties expected when tho university
was founded by the Pope. =
AS to the names likely to be for
warded to Rome, opinion seems to cry
stallize around that of Bishop Spald-
ing, of Peoria. His scholarship IL
recognized and his influence power
full. Bishop Mas, of Kentucky, the
secretary of the board of bishops, is
also mentioned. He, like Bishop Spal.
ding, Is a man of large and varied
erudition, and would be an energetic
and efficient pastor.
