Cut To Death.

There was tragedy at Middle
tons camp just north of Pomona at
an early hour last Monday morning
in which Tom Jackson was stabbed
to death by John Jenkins. Both
were fast-blacks. The row is sup
posed to have occurred over wo-
man, in which the man who has been
planted was the aggressor. Anyway
the jury at the inquest held by JUS
tice Rowton, said it was justifiable
homicide. Jenkins skipped the
country after the verdict.

SANTA r,E HAS RECORD PLANT
Millions of Gallons of Creosote Used on
Ties Each Year.

Somerville, Tex, Sept. 4.-What is
said to be the largest tie-treating plant
in the world is that of the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fee which is located
here and the largest single shipment
of creosote ever made is on it's way to
Galveston on the steamship Pecton,
from London, England. 1t carries g.
10000 gallons of creosote, of which L.
$780, 900 gallons are for the Santa Fe
tie-treating plant at Somerville. E. o.
Faulkner, superintendent of the tie and
timber department of the Santa Fe,
with headquarters at Topeka, Kan, is
here to arrange for receiving the large
shipment. He said:
s'Some idea of the magnitude of the
present shipment can be obtained when
1t is stated that in the United States
last year there were produced but 49,
000, 1000 gallons of creosote. The Som
erville plant consumes a little over
100000 gallons of the stuff per month,
or something like 100000 gallons per
year. Some idea of the increase in the
treatment of railroad ties may be had
by study of these statistics: In 1885
there were treated in the United States
only 211s 0O0 ties. In 1894, practically
ten years later, there was an increase
to $50, eco. In 1904 the figure was
H3s111,o00. The necessity for making
timber of all sorts last as long as pos
eible has begun to be realized The
forests are not as large as they once
were, and at the rate they are being
cut down at the present day. he who

WOMEN GAMBLERS.
Nell Gwynne One of the Most Noted
of Her Sex.

From time to time, throughout the
world gambling among women has
ffourished and declined. Just at this
time 1t hourishes. But if the mania is
growing strong in the women of today
it is simply the revival of an old pas
sion, for in every age women have been
addicted to that form of vice which
caused the loss of money, happiness,
substance, health and, in many in
stances, honor. The pages of history
tell, over and over again, the story of
great women gamblers. France has
furnished the greater number of these,
but England has not been far behind,
while America has put forth many
whose fame has become International
| There seems to be something in the
| blood of French women that makes
them gamblers of q high order. Mime.
! de Montespan won so much at basset,
her favorite game, that Lotus XIV was
| delighted, and borrowed some of her
winnings. But she lost great deal at
times, and her play grew SO furious
that in 1882 Louis abolished the game.
It is recorded of madame that she one
night, while the king looked on at the
play, risked a sum equal to $4,000 on
a single card, and that the king grum-
bled when no one could be found to
one New Year night, 100000 crowns at
hoca, and on another night almost
| 2200,000 at the same game.
Mime. du Barry.
Nine du Barry was the most famous
woman gambler of the time of Louis
| XIV, but with her it was only pastime.
But that other favorite, Mime. de
Pompadour, went in with the sole OBJ
| Ject of winning, if she could. It is re-
corded that her winnings were enormous
and that in a single night she eased the
pockets of the king of $4,000 louis dor
| Queen Marie Antoinette, according to
| 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. Scandal rose high and the game
was forbidden. Nevertheless, in a short
| time it was being carried on again not
only in the apartments of the queen,
but at the. house of the Princess de
Lamballe. At first the queen and those
| who desired to play with her went to
| the apartments of Madame de Guemene
whose house is credited with having
been the scene of the highest continued
play of any in France. But matters got
| so bad before the end came that noble
men would no longer play with the
| queen, and she admitted to her table
many common gamblers. Then the
| scandal broke in full force, for some
| were caught cheating and one was
even arrested for picking a pocket.
I Possibly the most famous woman
| gambler of English history was Nell
Gwynne, the actress, who was so great
a favorite with Charles II. In that
reign the manners were much the same
as they were at the French court. Nell
| Gwynne lost $4,000 to her rival. the
Duchess of Cleveland and in one year
lost upward of 100000, which the king
paid. There had never been known so
much gambling among the women as
was carried on in that reign. After the
