Recently Raaasd In New York.
When Inspector Brooks of. the New
York police and corps Of men from
his office. under the personal direction
Of District Attorney Jerome, recently
raided the gambling house in New
York owned and operated by Richard
Garfield. the biggest and most infuen-
tial individual proprietor of a gambling
house in the world, they found pala-
tial home for games Of chance.
The walls OF Canfield's place are Gov
cred with tapestries and paintings Of
great vflue. and soft, rich carpets cover
the floors, says the New York World
The first floor is one immense parior.
and the second floor, where the gam
bling apparatus was placed. is divided
into two rooms In them the other
night were large mahogany tables, with
heavy carved legs.
The arrangements for lighting are
unique While one is conscious that
scores OF electric lights are shining
down OH him. not one can be seen. By
means of panels light Is softly reflected
into the room.
Canfield's private rooms were the
greatest surprise 10 the raiders. how,
ever. If the public rooms Were mag
nificent. .Canfield's were regal The
scheme of decoration THAI prevailed
throughout the house was seen there
also. Among the pictures were several
Of Casfield's children, and one that es-
pecially attracted attention was a
painting of Garfield himself with the
arm of his laughing little daughter
about his neck. In the rear parlor on
the second floor was buffet loaded
with silverware. Every article bore
the monogram of the owner OF the
house.
During the search of the house the
detectives carried little hammers. Rhey
were instructed 10 use the hammers in
sounding the walls. They did not tap
very lightly, and several times Mr..
Garfield begged them not tOs strike so
hard. rs he feared they would break
the frescOing and otherwise damage
the walls Once n detective struck q
handsome intcrlaCe monogram OF moth
er of pearl, and great piece of the
pearl fell 10 the polished floor.
On the walls of the first floor were
beautiful specimens of inlaid mother OF
pearl mOUogramS and traciuES. On the
ceilings We're types of the highest art
of the frcSco painter and artist.
Throughout the ROOMS were great p!l

Captain and Crew Safe Inside While
Like a Cork-Invcntor With Sailor
Lashed Outside Took Boat Several
Miles Back to Dover.
The New York Herald's European
edition publishes the following from
its London correspondents:
The Donvig life saving globe was
tested the other day in the English
channel while stiff easterly gale was
raging. The Norwegian inventors craft
acted most satisfactorily. Captain
Donvig has been awaiting for several
weeks an opportunity TO show what his
globe is capable of in a heavy sea.
A strong wind was blowing and the
waves were running high as the Dover
harbOr tug Lady Vita took the globe
in tow and started out to sea. In order
that the apparatus should be as near
as p sible in the same condition as it

it was weighted with sand bags. which,
with four men who were in the globe
made the weight equivalent TO that
of twenty men and thirty days pro-
visions.
The globe, without its crew, was first
tOwed out to sea. between Dover and
the South FOreland The strong wind
raised terrific seas. Several times the
tug was caught in the trough and her
decks were completely swept. SO that
it was necessary 10 batten down all the
hatchways. In this heavy sea the
globe rode Over the waves like u cork
and was remarkably steady. 1t bobbed
on the crests of the waves. and. though
they struck the globe with great force
they went over the funnel which sticks
out of the top.
Capta.L DOnvlg, who was on the
tug, wanted TO board the globe in the

Treasure Islands.

Is no uncommon thing for an individual 10
turn up with a map of the district where
the treasure awaits a claimant. As a rule
this map has for its basis a tale that WAS
originally the substance OF a dime novel
The usual explanation of the possessor of
the map is that IL came to him from the
hands of penitent and dying pirate who
had never dared to expose the truth, for
he 1t known this pirate had been one of the
pirate crew that used to cache its loot in
the sands of the far-away isle. Usually he
had been the last survivor. all his ASSOC
ciates having killed each other or died be-
fore getting their nerve TO the proper pitch
to make the revelation. Listening to this
some person of adventurous turn believes it
fits out a boat and away he sails To find
the island is not a difficult matter There
is never any profit in finding it, If there
had ever been treasure there somebody else
knew ii and reached the spot first. The
pirate of the raging main. even while ac-
lively in business. did not have in mind the
benefit of future generations.

Longevity of Dogs.
From the Pail Mall Gazette


The age to which a dog lives in the ordi-
nary course is always somewhat interest
ing subject, especially at the present time,
when so much is done in the way of breed
have both collies and fox terriers becoming
bench champions before they are we'll out
Of their puppyhood, but 1t is sad to say
that in. a majority of such cases the over
shown dog afterward rapidly degenerates
or dies an early death. A correspondent
writes to the Field Of the death of his fox
terrier at the advanced age of eighteen
years, having been born in 1884. He was
either son Of grandson Of Brokenhurst
Joe, his late owner does not know which.
This Is, no doubt, case of unusual Ion
gevity; but instances of dogs living to four
teen and fifteen years are common. Dr.
Leeney recorded the death Of a dog of Lord
Ogiivie's at twenty-three years old 1t aris-
ing from an accident; while Mr. w l.. Lit
tleton-Geach about the same time men
toned two Of his own dogs, one of which
was then living hard on to twenty years
old; the other had just died when over that
age. The well-known fox terrier Belgrave
Joe was born July 81, 1885, and died Janu-
airy Ii, 1883 while another aged terrier was
one of working stamp which came from
George Carter Of the Bedale, born in Janu-
airy, 1880, and died February Is, 1900 In
several of the above Northumberland
cases of longevity death either arose from
accident or was brought about by the own
er owing to the growing feebleness of the
poor creature. No mean can be struck as
but this might be taken at ten years as he
is now.

REGULAR THUNDER STORM.
It Usually Comes About 4 O'Clock in
the Afternoon.

81 observe that Washington's regulation
o'clock thunder storm is about on it's
scheduled time today" remarked a resident
to visitor the other day, as they paused
in front of The Star office and gazed sky
ward at the dark clouds which presaged
deluge in a few moments.
"Do you lay claim to having thunder
storms arrive on train time in the capital?"
the visitor asked, incredulously.
yes" responded the resident "our
o'clock thunder storms in season are one
of the features Of the town. You see, it is
this way:
about $1,000 workers in the different
executive departments close their official
day at o'clock, and that hour is, there

than in any other city in the United States
IT is matter of regulation comment
among government clerks, especially those
long in the service that the weather bu-
reau. or whoever else controls the elements.
manages to bring up about seven out Of
ten thunder storms in the summer at about
the closing of the official day.
while this singular fact may be treated
as joke. it has material effect upon the
entire city in a manner which you. a
stranger, would not consider. On clear
days this army Of employees pours out into
the streets, and thousands Of them visit
the stores: and shop. Others will walk
home. All kinds of business are to a more
or less extent we'll patronized, from a cigar
shop to the big department stores. On the
days when the o'clock storm gets around
on time these employees crowd into the cars
and go home as quickly as possible. The
stores lose their patronage, while the street
car lines reap harvest of nickels So. Won

aside from the personal Inconvenience
caused the clerks, mean much to the mer-
chant in loss of sales. If the storms come
up at, say O'Clock, when all of the great
army of government employees are indoors,
they are usually over by O'clock, and
business goes on as Usual
In fact. hundreds of clerks make II a
rule to keep at the Office what they call an
office umbrella, just to be prepared for
the rain when it gets around on time. maxi
ing it point to always bring their UNI
brellas down to the Office on the following
morning, though 1t may then be clear. BY
this foresight and the expenditure of a lit
tie effort the thoughtful ones may laugh
at those who do not go to that trouble. but
who must wait in the buildings until the
rain subsidies, or make a lash in the wet
for the car"
