WOMEN GAMBLERS.

ehe most Famous OF Them Werc Co.
icbritiea of France.
The pages of history tell over and
over again the story of great woman
gamblers. France has furnished the
greater number of these, but Eng
land hus put forth many whose fame
has become international.
There seems to be. something in
the blood of French women that
makes them gamblers of high Or
der. Nine. de Montcspan won so
much at bassct, her favorite game,
that Louis XIV. was delighted and
borrowed some Of her winnings, and
her play grew SO furious that in
1852 Louis abolished the game.
1t is recorded of madam that she
one night, while the king looked on
at the play, riskcd a sum equal to
$200,00O on a single card and rslt
the king grumbled when no one
could be found to cover the bet.
But madam also lost one New
Years night 100000 crowns at
hocal and on another night almost
$1,0OO,000 at the same game.
Nine. du Barry was the most IA
nous woman gambler Of the time Of
Louis NE., but with her it was only
q pastime. But that other favorite,
Nine. de Pompadour, went in with
the sole object of winning if she
conld. 1t is recorded that her win
nlngs were enormous and that in
single night she eascd the pocket
Of the king of $4,000 louis dor.
Queen Marie Antoinette, accord
ing 70 history, was a gambler who
liked to be surrounded by gamblers.
Faro was the popular game, but the
stakes got to be SO great that many
a nobleman had his entire estates
wiped out in a single night. Scan
dal rose high and the game was for
bidden. Nevertheless in a short
time it was being carried on again,
not only in the apartments of the
queen, hut at the house Of the Prin-
cess de Lamballe.
At first the queen and those who
desired to play with her went to the
apartments Of Nine. de Guemene,,
whose house is credited with having
been the scene of tle highest con-
tinued play of any in France. But
matters got SO bad before the end
came that noblemen would no long
er play with the queer, and.she ad-
mitted to her table many common
gamblers. Then the scandal broke
in full force, for some were caught
cheating, and one was arrested for
picking a pocket.-Liyerpool Mer-

orally due the supremacy of the
American farmer. One may wonder
why, for instance, the German farmer
finds it impossible to compete against
his American cousin, and Why it is
that Germany consumes grain grown
In this country, but the fact of the
matter is that the whole difference
lies Ia the attitude Of the :wo gov
ernments toward their respective rail
roads.
The railroad man in the g;gentic
game which he plays in the t;aps-
portation Of the country's grain to
the markets Of the world, takes all
these conditions into consideration.

Advice az to Cutting Down and Mend
irs Worn Carpets.


In mending or cutting down worn
carpets lengthwisc seam is more
noticeable than one made across the
breadth. However skilifuiIy done,
mending as one would an ordinary
garment, by cutting out the worn
place, clipping the corners diago-
nally, turning under the edges and
stitching tE.em down to a piece of
carpet secured to the under side, is
sure to be conspicuous. .,.
1t should be done by cutting
across the entire width and match-
ing the pattern perfectly. Insert a
piece by neatly folding the edges Of
both the body carpet and piece back
on the wrong side an inch, basting
securely in position. Overland stitch
the edges with linen thread as near
the color of the ground as possible.

Russian secret societies. furnish the backbone of the piece as we'll as the flesh that covers it. But in the modern play we see the brisk and easy man. ners of a well to do American against the severe etiquette of Russian military society. The humor of the piece arises naturally from this quaint juxtaposi- ton. Ralph Stuart's work in the play as it's hero and also it's producer has been universally commended by the New York press. In fact, rarely has a star met with such q chorus of ap probation. The part of Richard Ham, ilton suits him admirably; he is the calm and collected American with an abundance of dry humor, which he brings to the solution of the knotty problems offered by a strenuous plot. When this young American goes to Russia he is greeted by Olga Petrovicll as her brother, and even after sine is nndeceived the resemblance staggers her. Olga is in trouble on this broth CTS account and owing to the persecu- ton of an officer in the cZars army. who is also powerful nililist conspir- ator. Stuart in his mimic character as, sumes the character of Olga's brother and protects her through thick and thin. Their adventures are thrilling, but considering the environment. they are not impossible. and the play works itself out to q satisfactory end; that is, Stuart doffs as soon as may be the as sumed fraternal relationship and be- comes the acknowledged sweetheart of Olga. Prices are 9. J0, 75 and $1; matinee 25 and 90 cents.

,outes, tie carriers tr.sel:ng distance

routes, tie carriers tr.vel:ng distance Of 800 miles day in the aggregate ! The original intention was to close most of the offices, thus it was alleged, issaving money enough to largely pro- wide for the expense Of the rural carriers. So far in that county only two of the old offices have been actually wiped out. They are kept open and running. Nearly all of the old star routes are retained. This offers duplicate service at an immense additional cost, with little increase in efficiency, yet bringing many heart-burnings and neighborhood quarrels.
 The effort was made early in its his. tory to have the delivery service placed on a contract basis. similar to that of the star routes. so that there would be competition between carriers as there now is between mail contractors. This plan was strongly supported, but was defeated by large majority in con- gress. "a, .-..
 One representative. advocating the plan, warned his colleagues that the time would soon come when there would be 50,000 carriers, at $1 ,000 each per year, total $50 .00O, 900 for salaries alone. besides allowances for wagon re- pairs. horse hire, etc, plus eight hours day and millions for overtime. He predicted a solid combination Of 60,000 carriers. clamoring for more pay, and organized as an aggressive political machine.
 None of these predictions has yet been realized. but it cannot be denied that some tendencies are more or less ominous. Carriers salaries were in- creased at the last session of congress from $500 to 3720 per annum. Fur ther increases will be asked and when the labors and hardships of the rural carrier are contrasted with the light duties and eight hours tour of his city brother, there seems to be some merit in the demand for a compensation more nearly equal.
 There are causes of friction among the patrons of the service in addition to those we have mentioned. The fact is. that the system has been built up So rapidly that the advance theories have not as yet had time to adjust themselves to unexpected conditions. and unfore- seen obstacles. The postal scandal, which involved the principle organizer and promoter of rural free delivery inside the department. and led to his separation from the service. necessarily complicated an already difficult situa, tion. The administrative problems had to be taken up and solved by new men, and the service suffered a serious set- back from that cause.

"A Madcap Princess" the musical yer. sion of When Knighthood was in Flower,' which comes to Polls Tues, day evening, January 10. She is faced by the problem of playing the first two acts in skirts and the last dressed as boy: and in skirts she must be more or less hoydenish. almost mascu, line. while in the tights and riding boots she must be distressingly feml- nine and conscious. This is indeed Il problem before which many an experi- enced artist would go down to defeat. Dut Miss Chaser accOmplishes it tri- umphantly and her impersonation is a positive delight for the very reason Of its completeness of detail as indicated above. Indeed at the very moments when, in masculine attire. she strives hardest to deceive those watching her by the assumption of masculine swas, ger. here is she most feminina q touch of consummate art well worth the ap plause which 1t nightly receives.

MABEL PAGES MURDER.
Prisoner Followed Testimony Close. Ky and Suggested Questions.

 points deemed important by them were ! developed by counsel at the sessions of
 !he court which is trying Charles Lou
 is Tucker on the charge of murdeiing | Miss Mabel Page.
 One of these was the statement by
 Harold Page. the brother of the mur- Iuainted with Tucker for more than six-rears and that the latter had called
 twice nt the Page home. the first time
 at the invitation of the witness On the day following Miss Pages funeral and Fuckers examination by ihe police Harold Page testified that the defendant and he rode together in
 train from Boston to Auburndale i The witness testified that upon that
 occasion Tucker seated himself beside the witness and opened the conversa- tion by saying. Did you know that they've had me in it:''
 When cross examined Page would
 not say positively that Fuckers first , words to him did not contain an ex- precision of sympathy.
 While Page was on the stand Tucker followed the testimony closely and at
 times suggested questions to he asked
 by his counsel.
 During the course of the trial all of
 the garments worn by Miss Page on
 the day she met death were entered as exhibits in the case With the excep-
 tion of the outer garments and the shoes and stockings. every article bore large crimson stains. X portion of skeleton was employed again to illus trate the positjouS of tbe wounds.

RURAL MAIL SERVICE
IMPROVEMENTS HAVE COME
 WITH FREE h4LIvERY.
Closing of Post Offices in Small Towns
 Denounced as Glaring Injustice by Farmers and Others.

Observation shows that some of the rosy dreams indulged in by the pro motors of rural free delivery have moi been realized in actual results, says thu Sentry, of Washington.
 This perhaps could have been ex- pected. Too much is usually claimed in advance for these innovations-even the most valuable of them. Novelties are always attractive. A combination suitcase. fire-escape and graphophont always appeals to the credulity Of those persons who are ever on the lookout foi something new and startling.
 The distribution of mail matter to the agricultural population was scheme SC attractive as to command in advance the enthusiastic plaudits of all whs wished well for the growing intelli- gence of the country. That some prophecies have not been fulfilled isno impeachment of its general utility. but is simply an incentive to more careful administration and proper adjustmen; to the necessities of the case.
 The farmers. and such periodicals as ere printed for the purpose of rejecting their views. already criticise the rural service for some of its unexpected short comings They point out that when # was started the country was honey eombed with star routes. and every man was within convenient distance of post Yx d.. hot system. instead of being amended and enlarged. is being torn up by the roots. Post ofIices which had existed for years end still served their purpose were threatened with extinction. compelling people to accept the rural delivery whether they wished to accept ii or nos. and giving the favor on these terms to only . small proportion of the popula- tioe.
 One objector says: Where heretofore every soul was satisfied. no serious complaints coming from any quarter, vast multitudes of people are now sc greatly disturbed at the ill-advised changes made or threatened that the country is filled with excitement and lamentations"
 The destruction of the old system by ehutfing up post ofiiees in the rural communities. and having the mail delivered wholly from the larger towns was one of the results of the rural delivery scheme which the people were not prepared for. although it was made . leading argument in its favor. Tc compel farmers to do their business including the purchase of stamps ana money orders. registering letters and other things of that kind in the public reads in all sorts of weather. where they previously had . convenient ofhce under shelter. Is denounced as . giarins injustice
