ing Girls Wages.

In Butte, Mont, there Is gambling
house where the patronage of ladies
is the special feature of the manage
ment, and where all kinds of women
play the good old game of faro, perfectly
at home and without fear of Interrupt
ton. The entrance Is from an alley near
Broadway, and the house is luxuriously
furnished. Carpets are laid on the
floors, softened lights shine over the
players, courteous attendants deal and
shuttle the cards and pay bets or take
winnings without the slightest sugges-
ton of the incongruity of the situation,
says the Denver Republican.
Here many fashionably gowned wom-
en- of Butte's elite come in parties or in
pairs with escorts, to quietly venture sill
yer or goldpieces coined from copper by
their husbands, who busy themselves in
Butte's continuous political war.
Women Of the business world keep
track of the game, and both dealer and
player usually maintain rigid silence.
Money Is passed out for chips with the
simple word, five" or ten, land con-
a .
And there are schemes to inveigle the
unsuspecting that only the initiated I'M
derstand. Many women of the middle
classes are among the most regular pa
irons of the place. A waiter girl was re-
Gently observed playing her weeks
wages with phenomenal luck. With SIS
she had won $50 and had cashed In her
chips with charming GOODNESS prepared
to go home winner" The dealer paid
her without comment. He counted out
the money-two twenty-dollar bills, one
ten, one five, four dollars In silver, two
half-dollars. She picked up the money,
put the bills in her purse and laid a
half dollar on the ace. 1t lost. She laid
down dollar. 1t won. Another few
moments and she had lost the silver. Re-
luctantly she drew out five-dollar note
and began to play again. In few deals
she was playing heavily again. In half
an hour she was broke. 1t was simple
trick which has won the bank many mil
lions of dollars after the player cashed
in-the manner Of payment. One is re-
luctant to break bill, but silver is con-
venient to lay down on a card, and most
gamblers will do 1t. Before they know 1t
they are again drawn in to the game.
They sometimes win, it Is true, for the
games are on the square, but one cannot
win always, and the chance on second
| round Is In favor of the "tiger."

UNION MINERS DEPORTED
ESCORTED BY MILITARY TO COL
oRADo STATE LINE.
Dumped at Deserted Spot ON Kansas
Prairie-sheriR Drives Them
Back Over the Line.

: Syracuse. Kan. June 11.-Ninety-
eight deported Victor (Col.) miners,
sent out from their state on a special
train in charge of half hundred Col
orado militiamen. were literally
dumped into Kansas Saturday, and left
destitute upon the prairie.
The miners had been placed ON the
train. which was special made up
by the authorities In control In the
disturbed Colorado town, and in
charge of well-armed militiamen start
ed for the east late Friday At La
Junta, Col, where the first stop was
made. the cars were closely guarded
The miners were not permitted to
leave the cars, nor were any Of tho
hundred or SO men who gathered at
the station allowed to communicate
with them.
Landed on Deserted Prairie.
When a point in Kansas half q mile
east Of the Colorado state line was
reached early Saturday halt was
made. 1t was a deserted spot ON
the wild prairie. with no railway
station. eating house nor farmers
house within several miles.
Without delay the men were disem-
barked. the engine was reversed. and
the militiamen reboarded the train.
Lieut. Cole. the officer in COM
mand Of the guard, instructed the
miners plainly that they were not
wanted in Colorado, and told them
they had better go east
Half a dozen OF the soldiers fired
volley into the air to intimidate the
men, and the train started west with
the mflitiamen. leaving the miners to
make their way to some habitation az
best they might.
While the miners were deciding upon
what they were to do. Sheriff Jack
Brady. of Hamilton county. Kan. and
40 armed deputies arrived on the
scene and ordered the unhappy men

back to- Colorado. Three of the
miners had already started east afoot.
The others retraced their steps at the
command of the Kansas officers along
the railroad track westward. After a
long, weary tramp, they struggled into
Holly. Col, small town near the
Colorado-Kansas boundary, where
they were furnished food at the big
Salvation Army station located there.
Guests of Mayor.
The deported miners we're the guests
of the mayor of Holly at dinner late
in the day. They were notified during
the afternoon that special train
would would be sent to take them all
to Denver. The miners held meet
ing and discussed the situation with
officials of the Western Federation OF
Miners. They decided to await in
structions from the officers of the Fed
Grafton in Denver as to their future
movements. They are considering the
advisability of returning to Cripple
Creek, and have not decided about re-
turning in a body.
Sheriff Brady, Notwithstanding the
instructions he received from Topeka,
kept his force of deputies at the state
line until late in the afternoon to pre-
vent any of the miners from coming
across. He returned at night, being sat
isfied that the men would not come
into Kansas. The Colorado authorities
will not be allowed to dump their de-
ported men into Hamilton.
Miners Charged with Murder.
Victor, Col, June 13.-Charges Of
murder were drawn up Friday against
50 of the men confined in the bull
pen here. and they were taken to the
county jail.
This move was made shortly after
the coroner's jury had handed down
a verdict holding the Western Fedora
ton of Miners responsible for the
dynamite outrage at Independence.
Thinks Ten Executions Sure.
A member of the court of inquiry
said: I'VE have evidence that will le-
gally hang five and possibly double that
number, and enough to I'LL the peni-
Tertiary. We have unearthed state Of
things that the public will be slow to be-

plant Never before at an exposition
has there been even half as much
power developed as supplied from the
various prime movers in the Palace of
Machinery. In a large boiler house
standing west of the Machinery build
ing, filled with the latest and best pro-
auctions of skilled boiler manufactures,
steam Is generated to supply 10000
horsepower to the various engines in
the Machinery building. In addition
to this about 10000 horsepower Is re-
ceived by electric cable from power sta
tons In the city of st. Louis. But the
greatest interest Is in the engines them
selves rather than in the large capacity
Of the exhibit, for among them Is a
giant turbine or rotary engine develop
ing 5000 horsepower, besides others of
a similar type Of smaller capacity. This
Is the first display Of turbine engines
at large exposition, as its develop
ment is very recent achievement of
mechanical engineering and invention.
At the Chicago Exposition the larg-
est gas engine developed only ten
horsepower; the visitor to st. Louis
may see a gas engine with the capacity
of 900 times larger than the Chicago
engine. The 5000 horsepower gas en-
CINE is the largest engine Of it, char
acter ever built. Many other gas en-
gines of various types developing from
1000 to 1850 horsepower complete this
feature of the exhibit, and there are
many Of the more familiar reciprocal
ing engines of the latest pattern and
highest efficiency.
OF the total number of prime movers
in the Palace of Machinery about one
half are comprised In what Is known as
the Exposition power plant. the other
half being exhibitors engines. Nearly
all these engines are connected VITA
