DECIDED Al POKER.

Name Of the County.

~ mOuFes rive Card Draw Won n
Name Of the County.
When he extreme western border Of
Dakota was cOlonized there was q live
~ squabb'e about what the new coun-
" should be called. There were four
commissioners whose duty it was to
decide on the name, and at the board
meetings the vote for the name of the
county was always two and two, aud
public feeling began to run high. John
VIM suggested that the four commits
sioners should take 500 white chips
apiece and play a game Of poker to
decide, the chips to represent IS each.
This was agreed to, and the game COM
inenced with the entire population on
hand. For two hours little gain was
made, and then a jack pot came
around, for which seventy three hands
were dealt before it was opened. FL
nally Commissioner Edwards opened
1t for 500. He held three kings, Judd
La Moure held a zigzag, and the 9TH
ers dropped out. Edwards drew n
card. La Moure dealt himself five
cards. and the betting commenced.
Men with revolvers kept the crowd
from the table. After several raises
there was $4,000 in the pool private
money, besides the chips. Then the
hand was called. Edwards held three
kings. and La Moure had drawn a full,
three f1ves and a pair Of tours. He
rose to his feet and cried. Gentlemen,
this Is Mckenzie coun -" and so it
was and is called. T. game lasted
eighteen hours, and Moure and
Winn were carried noulder high
around the town, which saw no sleep
that night. The cards held by La
Moure are to be found among the ar
chives Of the county, labeled LA

The love of work, which was M of
the characteristics Of the historian
Froude, is well illustrated in a story
told Of his last illness. The cancerous
affection of which he afterward died
was slowly destroying his healthy and
vigorous frame. At one time he seemed
to be much better, and when the pbysi-
clan came to see him he noted the i'm.
provement and told his patient Of it.
Froude asked whether it was likely
that he would be able to go back to his
work again. On hearing that this was
impossible he said, IF that is the case,
I do not wish to live"

NAMING A VESSEL.
Why President Arthur Would Not
Call 1t the Concord.

NAll IL the
While General Arthur was president
and during II Of the summers of his
administration he was on board the
Dispatch at Newport, and Secretary
Of the Navy Chandler was Fostering
him to consent to naming the new dis
patch boat, afterward the Dolphin, the
Concord, after the first battle Of the
Revolution. General Arthur was dis
posed to quiz Chandler about his pro-
posed name. He preferred the name
Dolphin as being more suggestive Of
speed at sea When Chandler argued
the importance Of keeping in mind the
heroic resistance Of the colonial mill
tia and the brilliant opposition offered
to Pitcairn's men General Arthur ask
ed him:
"What is it that you propose to call
this ship?"
1.-THE Concord" answered Chandler,
giving the approved New Hampshire
pronunciation.
There" retorted Arthur, inviting the
attention of Captain Reeder. do
you hear that? Conquered. Do you
think that n good name to give q ship
of-war? Then, suppose you change the
pronunciation and call It Concord, Just
as spelled. Does it not strike you,
Chandler, that there Is a degree of
Concord in the presence Of a vessel of
war;"
The new ship was called the Dol
phin, but the Concord appeared after
General Arthur had ceased to have in
1uence in naming the ships Of the
navy.

The different species Of ants are
pretty generally distributed over the
globe, and on this account the natural
lists infer that there Is work for them
to do in the great economy Of the uni
verse. In each colony males. females,
neuters and sometimes soldiers are to
be recognized. The males are invaria-
bly, smaller than the females and, like
those Of the feminine gender, have
wings in their original state. The
neuters, which are the workers, are
without wings in any Of their trans
formations, and the soldiers are recog-
nized by the armor plates on their

KNAPP AGAIN
IN TROUBLE

VALLEJO November 5.-Caught by
powerful gust of wind while trying to
make a landing at the coal wharf at
Mare Island navy yard at 8 o'clock this
morning. the refrigerator ship Celtic
crashed into the cruiser Marblehead
them such severe damage that the
MarbIehead may have to go out of
commission, while the machine shop
was sunk.
The force of the impact was SO great
that two of the five-inch guns of the
cruiser were completely demolished, the
bridge torn away and two dingies re-
duced to kindling wood. Two plates Of
the Marblehead We're badly dented and
the machine shop, which had been RAM
med. soon sank The Celtic suffered by
slight damage in the collision.
The Celtic arrived at the navy yard
this morning from the navy yard at
Bremerton and was proceeding up the
channel to take on coal when the ac-
cident occurred which resulted in the
loss of thousands of dollars to the Gov
eminent and which will considerably
delay repair work now in progress at
the yard through the sinking of the
machine shop.
Lieutenant Commander ]. J. Knapp
was in charge of the refrigerator ship
and was maneuvering past the floating
machine shop and the cruiser when the
wind caused his vessel to crash into the
two crafts beside the seawall, the ma
chine shop being alongside the Mar
bIehead while repairs were being made
to get the war vessel in readiness to sail
by November Is.
Not only will the sinking of the ma
chine shop greatly delay the additional
repairs to the Marblehead, but it will
also keep back the other work now in
hand at the navy yard. It probably
will take several months to put the
MarbIehead in seagoing condition
again.
Whether Lieutenant Knapp is re-
sponsible or not for the great damage
wrought by the Celtic will have to be
determined by the naval board authori-
ties and it is expected that board of
inquiry will soon begin an investiga-
ton i
