ROCK ISLAND TRAINMEN
TO HAVE NEW UNIFORMS

Fifty thousand dollars to be spent
for clothing in one month is n great
deal, but that is what the conductors.
porters, walters, news agents, etc.
on the 1000 miles of the C., II. J. &
p road viii spend during the month
of October and on NOV. l there viii
be about two thousand natty. new
blue uniforms sprung on the travel
ing public. which will almost dazzle
the travellers.
An order was issued some time ago
which stated that the measures would
be taken of all passenger men EN-
ployed by the Chicago, Rock Island &
Pacific railroad, and they must pre-
cure new uniforms and cast off the
old ones on the last day of October
and on Nov. l come out attired in
the new ones. In accordance with
the order the officials sent out men
to take the measures of all these
trainmen. The clothing business is
done on a large scale by the Rock
Island company and these orders are
let TO large firm doing this kind of
job work. which greatly reduces the
price. The price charged these men
averages about $23 for conductors
suit and 81 for a cap. while those for
some of the other trainmen are not
quite so much. The total sum will
be in the aggregate of $4,000.
In speaking with a railroad en-
ploye regarding any change that
there might be i'm the uniform. he
said: ''While l did not hear anything
officially regarding the new uniforms
l feel positive that there win not be
much change. l think they will be
practically the same. Regarding the
trimmings. l do not know Just what
they will be, but | suppose that the
same brass button will be put on
with the exception of those who were
in the employ of the b., {. II. & ",
for whom a button bearing the in
scription, &C., Il. l. & p will take the
place of the others. The caps, think,
will also be practically the same, for
the company does not change the
uniforms to any extent"

SOLDIERS ARE ROBBED

Trip of More Than

ZEN GOING ON FOR MONTHS

The war department at Washing
Ton has been compelled to take cog
nizance of the fact that six profess
sionai gamblers who arrived at San
Francisco on the transport Buford
succeeded on the voyage in robbine
the soldiers of more than $4,000.
This robbing of the troops under
home orders by professional card
sharpers has been going on for
months, and the question before the
department now is how to keep these
men off the transport, and, failing in
this, how to prevent the soldiers
from becoming victims.
1t has been the custom since the
inception of the Pacific transport
service for the government to offer
transportation for Il reasonable sum
to civilians who desired to visit the
Philippines. Among those who avail
ed themselves of this opportunity
were the gamblers referred to. Once
in Manila they mixed with the men,
those belonging to regi-
ments under home orders. The gam
blers were what sometimes is de-
scribed as good fellows" They spent
their money reckIessly and would not
allow their newly formed friends to
spend cent. To say that they soon
became very popular with the more
convivial of the soldiers expresses
the situation very mildly.
While they were in the habit on
every occasion of expressing their
delight with the life of Manila, il was
nevertheless soon found out that they
could change their minds easily and
were anxious to come home every
time the sailing of a transport was
bulletined.

Soldiers PeDniIess.

In a great many cases when the
transports arrived at San Francisco
the soldiers would be absolutely pen
niless. and whit would have been a
very joyful homecoming was turned
into very gloomy and unpleasant
one. OF course as soon as the trans
port was berthed the gamblers would
hurriedly disembark with their we'll
filed wallets and get away from the
docks as soon as. possible TO store
away or to spend their ill-gotten
a return TO Manila in search of more
funds.
To keep these unwelcome passen-
gers off the. transports is now the

Keep Up Trips.

Month after month the gamblers
kept up their trips between San
Francisco and Manila and managed
to remain undetected. They would
90 over in one transport and come
back in another, seldom crossing in
the same ship twice, with the result
that when they embarked. either out
ward bound or homeward. their iden-
tity was not known, and their profess
sion was mystery to the officers
who otherwise would have undoubt-
eddy refused them transportation.
To get an idea of the enormous
winnings of these sharps, it may be
stated that there are engaged in the
transport service about twenty YES
sells, each making on the average two
round trips a year to Manila. As
900 men is an average number of
soldiers to the trip it will be seen
that taking the reported winnings on
the Buford as a basis the profits of
the gamblers would aggregate about
$500, 900 annually.
The stories told in San Francisco
on the arrival of the transport are
in many cases very pitable. Before
leaving Manila the men are given two
months pay, which is S31.20 10 pri-
yates and from $35 to 500 TO the nom
commissioned officers The amount
of money in the possession of the
soldiers when they set sail for home
would therefore total anywhere from
S35, 900 to $4,000, so it can be seen at
a glance what a harvest the home
ward voyage was for the professional
gambling passengers.

Seek Out Friends.

Once on board the ships. the gam
blers would seek out their friends
and propose little game of poker,
or some other equally profitable
game, TO while away the hours at
sea. Most of the men had saved up
considerable money. in addition to
the two months pay received just be-
fore sailing. and in a crowd of say a
thousand, which is about three bat
talions, there would generally be in
the aggregate anywhere from $4,000
to 100000.
From early morning until late at
night the game went on, and, though
at first. as is always the case, the
non-professionals were the winners.
the situation changed after a few
days, and luck" began to favor the
gamblers.
Day after day the gambling went
on. and one by one the soldier play
ers would drop out. having lost all
their available cash. Sometimes the
commander of the ship or some Off
Ger of the regiment would find out
what was going on, and promptly
put a stop to it, but this was the eX-
ception, and the gamblers. as rule
had a free hand all the way across.
Their dupes had no idea that they
were being cheated, and, being what
is sometimes termed game losers,
said nothing of their misfortunes to
their officers

tried to minimize it's Importance,

a Mixed UP Family. This.

Thomas Coleman, the Parkers-
burg attorney, contributes the fol-
lowing account of a peculiar re-
lationship to the Parkersburg
News:
Near MUSES. Bottom, in jackson
county, this State, lives one John
Brannon, now an octogenarian, who
has two sons, Abraham and John,
Jr. All three parties have married
at least twice. The present wives
of John, ST., and John, Jr., are
sisters, and these sisters are nieces
of the present of Abraham. Now
consider the relations growing out
of these marriages between the
father and the two sons and their
children. John, S., is a nephew of
his son, Abraham, and brother
in-law of his son John, Jr. He is
both grandfather and first cousin
of Abraham's children, and uncle
and grandfather of John, Jr.'s
children His children are half
brothers and sisters of John, Jr +,
and at the same time his nieces
and nephews. They are half broth
ers and sisters of Abraham as we'll
as his grand nieces and nephews.
They are first cousins and uncIes
and aunts IF Johns children, and
first cousins once removed, and
uncles and aunts of Abraham's
children. By this marriage Abra-
ham becomes his fathers uncle
and his children are first cousins
to their own grandfather. The
children of John, Jr, are nieces
and nephews of their grandfather,
and the children of John. ST., are
nieces and nephews of their half
brother John, and grand nieces and
nephews of their half brother,
Abraham. John, Jr., is a n :phew
of his own brother, and an uncle of
his own first cousins. Abraham is
an uncle of both his father and his
brother, and great uncle to his
half brother and sisters on the one
side, and both uncle and great
uncle to his nieces and nephews on
the other. And, strange as it may
seem, John, Jr, and his children
by his second marriage are first
cousins of the children of Johns
brother, Abraham. That is to say,
John is first cousin to Abraham's
children by virtue of the relation
of their wives,an Johns and Abra-
hams children are first cousins to
each other by virtue of the BROTH
erhood of their fathers. Verify
this is queer mixture and what is
to be the relationship of the child.
rem of the third and fourth genera
ton is problem which we leave
for solution by the said children in
their solemn moment, when their
time comes to take a rest with the
angels.
