"CARD SHARPS' IN

PhiladeIphia's Passengers Dis

NEW YORK. Aug. 1.-Two men who
had played cards not wisely but too well

Philadelphia, and emerged at the same
time from a coventry Of their own max

cause the titles are assumed ones, and
there are worthy persons who bear such
cognomens who might object.

wealthy than he was when he embarked.
Yet when he left the steamer yesterday
he said that he did not mind, as he played
entirely for amusement and for no love Of
gain. Two other passengers also lost
money without suspecting that anything
was wrong. One of them sacrificed 500 to
experience, and the other half as much
more. The officers of the Philadelphia
were more indignant than any one else.
These two objectionable passengers have
made many trips across the Atlantic. This
time they were disguised by the removal
out there had been some lively play in the
smoking room. Mr.. Dickinson then lost his
$3.50. One of the passengers detected mys-
terious signaling, and he grew suspicious
He reported the matter to the purser who
in turn recognized the alleged manipula-
tors of fraudulent cards. He made tour
of the smoking ROOM and in a stage
whisper advised the passengers to be very
careful with whom they played.
There was little comfort for the card
sharps'' for the remainder of the voyage
of the Philadelphia. Wherever they went
they encountered cold glances and heard
half whispers which We're far from kind
ly, and no one would speak to them. When
the vessel yesterday morning reached her
