| and, as the reporter looked, the doc
was quickly opened and the man wen
inside and the door closed after him
The photographer then took station
on the front veranda of the josshouse
where he had an excellent view of the
heavy door and landing. A Hawaiian
was peeking through the portfolio an6
gesticulating, evidently asking to be lei

to let anybody in at that time, and
the photographer snapped the Hawai-
! ian and the door as well.
From the josshouse veranda the noise
of chips being stacked up, money jing-
ing and the shouts of men as they
/ threw the dice in the fascina ting game
of craps could. be distinctly heard.
Only in the game of craps" do men
get worked up into an excitement
which causes them to calculate at each
throw. One hears them say: Little

phrases followed by a smothered ex-
clamation of disgust when the dice
counts UP z, meaning that the player
had lost.
THE POLICEMAN KNEW.
AS the reporter came out of the joss
house, a police officer was met. Farther
down the street two mounted officers
were sending in their reports to the
police station. The foot police said:
You get good picture of. joss
house?"
There's a better one next door, an
swered the scribe pointing to the gam
bling house. "Those barred windows
up there make fine picture"
The officer smiled why don't you
raid the place, there's a big game 60
ing on there now?'' he was asked.
"Oh, 1 have no power to do that"
There's a good game. anyhow
you been up there?" asked the Of
ficer, in some surprise.
''As far as 1 could get. That big
door is hard to get past
.'Sure it is, if you don't know how
answered the officer. i was up there
once. but I only bet little. / didn't
lose much"
And that is the place where the
watchers and others connected with it
get So, 81 and 81 a day from the pro-
prietor.
That is also the place where it is
said that the proprietor raked in to
the good, above expenses, etc, $1,000
last week. That is ALSO the place,
where rumor has it stranger was re-
Gently steered and lost about $500.
That is the place which is known to
the police, with its doors of studded
iron not concealed from public view,
but which is never raided. WHY?
That is the gambling house which
has sprung up in recent weeks andais
a lowed to continue it's nefariOus busi-
ness, although little Chinese and Jap
anese games across the street and near
by are raided and the detectives and
special officers come into the police
station with their prisoners and make
display of prowess.

HOW IS IT PLAYED?

! How is che ia played? A sheet is
issued containing So names, as, for in
stance centipede, foot, head arm, etc,
many being of an indecent character.
The bank has its agents about town
land to these man will go, and, paying
him, select one of the thirty-six words
/ The drawing takes place the next
forenoon by those who back the game.
! If the customer paid five cents and is
lucky enough to have chosen the word
selected by the bank, he receives 81. SO.
If he had paid % cents he would have
received $3.50; for so cents he would
have received SIS, and for 81 he would
have been entitled to the sum of $50.
But even Zen the player is likely to
be ROBBED by the bankers. Should they
find that man, or several men, had
laid each 81 on certain name, it is I'M
likely that they would permit that
name to win. They would be out of
pocket. If any name wins, it is one on
which small amounts have been laid.
1T PAYS THE BANKS.
Does it pay the banks? It certainly
does All over town the banks have
agents. Almost every Chinaman in
the city plays, and the Hawaiians are
also inveterate gamblers. A dream
saw a centipede crawling on his lanai
floor, Immediately sought out an agent
and bet fifty cents on the "centipede."
Curiously enough, he won.
When the signal is given that the
drawing has taken place and the word
is announced, dozens of men on bicy-
cles are ready to scurry to every part
of the city telling the result. And if
your Chinese servant is absent from
the house just when you want to get
luncheon ready, housewives, you may
be sure that he is waiting on nearby
corner for a bicycle courier to tell
whether he has won or lost his five
cent bet.
Was there a policeman or detective
near when the bike riders went On
their errands esterday? Not one They
had conveniently vanished.
Only the preceding day when the
was looking for che ia ex-
element one of the detectives entered
the saloon at the junction of Bere-
-ania and King streets. The reporter

-ective was going to do, but was dis
appointed He didn't do anything but
make himself comfortable there, until
he che ia runners had made their
noisy rounds.

Il FINE ESTATE.
That of Charles T. Dietrich, IN
DutcheSs County.

The 3.500-acre estate of Charles F. Dietrich, in
Dutchess County, n. Y, is looking particularly
attractive just now. Daheim, its owner calls it.
The drives are a feature of the estate, on which
great care has been expended. A large herd of
cattle demonstrates the practical nature of the
owners purpose, but the deer park is also well
stocked, while pheasants hares, grouse, quail
and gray squirrel lend air of craftsmanship.
The estate lies about fifteen miles east of Pough
kecpsie and less than one mile from the Mill
brook station of the Newburg Duchess and
Connecticut Railroad. In 1902 The Tribune
gave some account of the extensive improve
TnCnts then going forward at Daheim, but great
progress has been made since then, much so
that the place looks greatly changed. James E.
Ware & Sons, of this city, drew the plans. They
had fine natural background to work upon,
for the estate comprises hills woods, brooks and
rolling meadows. From the high ground in
clear weather, the Catskills visible across
the Hudson. and also the Berkshire Hills in
Massachusetts.

"HEART WHISPERS"
Reviewed by W. Hugh Watson.

james Pringle Adcock, who has OF
late, brought out his daintily bound
volume Of poems, Heart Whispers"
is native of Livingston county, a
farmer by occupation writer from
choice. In his introduction he tells:
Nov, since such oilers might in safety sing
tried and found my muse could flap her wing
Then was my fruitIess task begun.
and Heart Whispers" is the result
1t is very doubtful whether there are
at present any great writers Of poetry
writers whose works like Shakespeare,
Burns and Byron, will live growing
greater as they grow older. Markham,
Of New York, author Of the poem,
''The Man With the Hoe, and James
Whitcomb Riley, Of Indiana, are the
greatest Of living poets In Kentucky
we have such poets as COwien, whose
poetical works have been praised in
this country and in England, Robert
Burns Wilson, whose poetry is pleasing,
has yet some promise Of rank as a
verse maker, while Major Stanton who
died a year or two ago, held his claim
10 be remembered by THE Moneyless
Man. Gale Young Rice, Of Louisville,
was our junior poetic writer until Mr..
Adcock entered the field. Mr.. Rice is
the author Of two small volumes OF
poetry. Mr.. Adcock has one volume
out and two others in manuscript, early
publication Of which is promised.
Heart Whispers" contains many
admirable selections, but all Of the
lyric sort and none Of any great length.
The divisions Of the book are:
Miscellaneous" "Extemporane.
Gus. "Eulogistic", Elegiac", "Odes"
"Epitaphs". "Epigram". "Amorous
Melodies" and Patriotic Lays"
For a first work It is great effort,
and much resembles Robert Burns
