BROKE UP GAMBLING GAME.
Former Sport Interferes With the
Plans of Sharpers on Steamship.
London Express.


London Express.
Professional card sharpers, whose pres
ence it is exceedingly difficult to detect,
and whom to accuse is frequently most
awkward and delicate matter. are regular
passengers by almost every big liner leav-
ing the British and Continental ports dur
ing the tourist season. Large sums of
money are often won and lost in the brief
interval of six days between Liverpool
and New York.
On a voyage of a popular Atlantic liner
from Liverpool to New York last month
a very extraordinary attempt at swind-
ling was exposed, thus preventing four
professional card sharpers from winning
by foul play a sum of nearly $4,000.
1t came about in this way: Play began
on the very evening the ship left Cher
bourg and for four days, with but brief
party. among which were the four pro-
fessional sharpers. sat steadily at the
table.
The table occupied by these players
most of the time was surrounded by from
a dozen to fifty interested spectators. 1t
was in corner of the smoking room
under window looking out on the port
quarter.
Among the players was an ex-gambler
from a Southwestern State, whose fame
was not sufficient to identify him with
this list of passengers. He said nothing
but the young and innocent player inter-
ested him. For two days the youth won
On the fourth day out. with twenty
spectators, including the ex-gambler,
standing about the table, the game reach

and erratic in his play. Three of the
players were drinking beer from mugs.
which. to keep them out of the way, they
placed on the little shelves under the
table.
Suddenly the ex-gambler laid his hand
emphatically on the table and said
Right here the game ends.
There was a sensation. The man with
his back to the window and three others
of the party looked at the speaker and
turned pale. The youth and the two re-
naming players expressed their indigna-
ton.
The ex-gambler looked from one of the
quartette of sharpers-unsuspected till
now-to another, and said:
IF any one of you four men is seen
playing on this ship during the rest of
playing again on any ship We are on, you
will immediately be arrested Now, keep
your hands off tnat money till this young
man takes what he has put in.
The cowed aspect of the swlndlers caus-
ed all the spectators to push forward
threateningly. Without word they took
what money the young player left on the
table and left the room.
To the other spectators the ex-gambler
explained that he had observed unmis-
taxable signs that the four culprits were
In COLLISION. Through motives of ex-pro-
fessional pride, perhaps. he mentioned to
one person later that, while he was out
of the room he had glanced through the
window and seen one of the quart stte add
a fourth king to his hand while ostensibly
reaching for his mug of beer.

ager Empress of China, and her worthy
adopted son, His Imperial Majesty Kwang

angry passions Of the Spanish royalties.
Recently, to mark the renewal of per-
fectly good relations between China and
the powers, the worthy Empress DoWa ger
gave a pink tea to the ladies of the
embassies and ministries at PekinE 1t
Is reported that her Celestial Majesty was
urbanity itself; there was something even
kittenish and sprightly in her greeting to
her guests. This dear old lady, who was
so universally mathematical only two
years ago. and who was reported by the
veracious newsproViders of Shanghai to
have boiled two or three ambassadors in
oil or filled them up with melted lead
was decked, 1t seems, in a magnificent
gown of blue silk, embroidered with
golden butterflies and birds. Her hair
was done in the Manchurian fashion, with
two huge bows. or butterflies, at the side
and her smile was sweet and winning.

adaptive mamma, sweet tempered and
affable. his olive face lit up with a play

this reception, for the DOwager retired

guests with her, and all three climbed
into huge bed. where, II is said, they
played cats cradles. This particularly
delighted Kwang Hsu. who came in while
the game was going on. Altogether, these
royal personages, the world over are very
much in the public eye in this so-called
twentieth century.
