NEW YORK, Dec 2O--In neatly
sealed package sent on Saturday to
William Lutz. business man OF
Princeton. J., was found poison
which undoubtedly would have caus-
ed his death but for a chance discoy-
cry OF the presence OF poison. Much
mystery surrounds the case.
The package. which bore a Prince
ton pcstmark contained piece Of
chewing tobacco, and also an unsisn-
ed note. reading as follows:
Friend wflI-Accept this little to-
ken as a Christmas present Hoping
you viii enjoy it, with greetings.
Lutz did no, recognize the hand
writing. but surprising he would learn
later who 1t was that had thus kind
ly remembered him. placed the plug
in his pocket pouch and soon forgot
about it
Lun did not think of the matter
again until evening when, with a
smile. he remarked
Well. here is my first Christmas
present and 1 think I viii sample
it
Raising the piece of tobacco to his
mouth he was just in the ACT OF biting
on a piece when he noticed a long
slit in the side of the plug Becom-
ing curious he carefully examined
The tobacco and found that the plug
had been slit the entire length In
side he found layer of white and
green powder The sender had care
fully sealed the outside of the plug
he took the plug of tobacco to a
chemist. who after analysis found it
contained about twenty grains OF ar

then handed The deadly present TO
the authorities. and the letter was
placed in the hands OF the postomce
authorities. Who VIII try and apD-e-

BILE to the management for any irregu-
larity or breach of decorum in the
rooms.
In short, everything is done by the
Casino management to instil into the
public a feeling of security and conf
dence.
The roulette tables are marvels of
mechanical precision. They cost about
three hundred dollars each, and are
carefully tested with a spirit-level
every morning to guarantee that they
are running true. Each roulette table
is opened daily with twelve thousand
dollars in the bank" and the trente-
et-quarante tables with twenty thousand
dollars.
Every time this reserve runs low
owing to the heavy winnings of some
lucky players a further sum of twelve
thousand or twenty thousand dollars
arrives for the bank" Thus tales
about breaking the bank are only
foolish legends born of boastful imagina-
ton.
Since Blanc created Monte Carlo
and found unlimited capital for the
bank" the poor player has had no
chance to do any serious injury to it.
All that would happen in the event of
even the most prolonged and successful
attack on the bank" would be its
repeated replenishment with fresh funds
until the player got tired of winning, or
left "broke "a far more likely con-
tingency.

tatiously a little, silvery-toned bell
This is the signal for liveried attendants
to arrive with fresh ammunition. which
is poured into the bank" before the
eyes of the envious players. Experience
has shown that this little comedy is
profitable for the management, as the
one certain consequence of such displays
of treasure is that the foredoomed players
are melted to renewed efforts to break
the bank to the inevitable benefit of
the said bank
The chances in its favor. in fact, are
SO enormous that the cleaning out of
player is only question of time. If
he goes on playing he must come out a
loser Blanc formulated his ideas on
this point by remarking that "the
player who sits down is lost" meaning
that he was more likely to make a
prolonged assault on the bank than the
man who merely walked about the
rooms throwing down a stake from
time to time on numbers that took
his fancy.
No system" is worth cent, for no
system can obliterate the crushing ad
vantages enjoyed by the bank. A
library could be filled with the systems
that are guaranteed by their inventors
to beat the bank But Monte Carlo
keeps on paying a big dividend, and the
inventors will sell their secret for any
thing they can get. five dollars being

COULDN'T ESCAPE HIS RAILROAD

DRESIDENT BARROWS of the Y. " T.
Railroad longed for rest-not the ease
afforded by the professional resorts. but the
quiet of farm. where far from professional
and social obligations he could bury the
dignity of his position. and among rural
strangers find rest and forget railroads.
Hiram Meadows assured his correspondent,
III. G.. Barrows. that his farm would assure
rest. One COW and two horses constituted
all the animation about the place. and good
wife intrusted with the care of house
and table.
President Barrow's first night was misera-
BILE one. He could not sleep. Didn't you
tell me that your place was free from noise?"
he demanded of the farmer next morning
It's true" asserted Hiram.
And that there were no fowls. cattle,
dogs or other noise-producing animals about
the place."
Hiram right" justified Mrs. Meadows.
Then how was it that all night long
heard the bleating of lambs. grunting of pigs
and roar of bulls?" fiercely demanded the
irate boarder.

PULLNIANs ARE sAFEsT.
They Are the Ones Which Escape In
jury in Wrecks.

The report of the recent wreck
caused a number of oId-time railroad
men who were talking to bring up the
subject of the safest place TO ride in
a passenger train, and from their ex-
perience in handling the travelling
public it was shown that of late the
number of people who now ride in
Pullman sleepers, when even only go
ing a short distance, is increasing at
a very rapid rate, and it was their
opinion that this was caused by the
fact that the Pullman cars are con-
sidered the safest.
This is due to the fact that the
standard sleeper is heavier and bet
ter built than any other car in the
train and consequently will Withstand
a heavier shock than any other car,
while on the other hand the smoking
car in case of a collision. is consid-
cred the worst place in the train, a.
they are as a general thing old coaches
that have been fixed over, and when
a crash comes, they being between
the heavy baggage cars in front and
the heavier Pullman cars in the rear,
are generally smashed TO pieces
