Is Detected in the Act of Cheating by
 King Edward.
London Cor. in Chicago Tribune.

London Cor. in Chicago Tribune.
 Though not even a whisper of it has found it's way into print, the social elect are greatly excited over cheating cpl sode which took place at a bridge party at the house of Consuelo, Duchess Of Marlborough in Grovesnor square, recent ly. the King being present.
 The culprit Is woman. young, beauti- ful, and brilliant player. who has been asked everywhere to meet his majesty. Had 1t been a man who was in fault 1t is quite likely he would have shared the fate of Gordon Cumming As it was a woman she has escaped though certain ly disgraced.
 She was playing against the King and the Duchess. Her partner was the Portu- guese minister. the Marquis de Several. who is great favorite with the royal family. He Is an indifferent player, but is always willing to lose his money like gentleman. He was dummy" and was in the dining room getting a drink while his partner was playing the hand when the incident took place. It was the King, who has a marvellous memory. and knows every card out. who saw that his opponent had revoked twice and had done one of two other doubtful things. When she realized that his majesty had detected her, she almost falnted. The King was angry, so angry that he dashed down his cards.
 "I have seen you do some peculiar things at bridge before now he re- marked to the fair culprt. but your last faux pas is unique. Look here, De So- veral," he said, calling out to the Mar duis, just sec what your partner has done twice. and he then picked up the tricks and explained
 The unhappy woman Host her head so to speak. and made a scene, Throwing herself on her knees she begged the Kings forgiveness and said if would meyer. never happen again." This was too much for his iesty, who has a mans horror of seeing any woman distressed. He took her by the hand. saving. quite kindly:
 You are tired, madam. II s time we all went home. Please don't think any moro of tho matter. But if you take my ad- vice you won't play bridge again for long time to come.
 Then he turned to his hostess and re- marked;
 "I must be off Duchess"
 II was then before midnight and. as a rule when the King plays bridge he sell dom leaves the table before 2 n m.
 II is now said that the lady has been playing the cheat for many day but because she had the entree to the royal circle i.er friends all winlked at her tricky play, | am told that his majesty has given the most emphatic orders that under m circumstances Is she ever to be invited to meet him again.

 As night wore on and he still did not come his wife became alarmed and this morning a searching party went 10 look for him. Holt was found where he had been at work the day before. with gunshot wound which had caused his death Holt had no enemies so far as known and no clue was left by his mur- derer or murderers which might lead to their detection. The only daily train from Florence had gone when the mes sage was received and the scent would be cold before dogs could reach the scene. Holt had no money about him and the motive could not have been robbery.

Action of Council To Determine Fate
Of WheeImen.

The proposed bicycle ordinance,
prohibiting wheelmen from riding on
the streets is this tuesday afternoon
before the city council. The propos-
ed law was given its first reading at
the last meeting of the council and it
will either be killed or passed at this
session.
From what the News has been able
to learn of the opinions of the alder
men concerning the measure, it seems
hardly probable that its passage will
be secured, though this is not at all
certain. Bicyclists are very much ex-
ercised over the matter and have pc
titioned the council not to enact the
ordinance.
