OYSTERS FOR THE PACIFIC.

Large Shipment to be Made to
 Company on Western Coast.
 An important shipment of Connecti- cut seed oysters to the Pacific coast is being made in which large share of the product will go from this city is being engineered by $. V. Daibee of Dalbee & Immel Oyster company of San Francisco Mir. Daibee, who has been in this city since Tuesday, is go- ing over the oyster field carefully and expects to make a shipment of several car loads in about a week. He is here in the interests of the company of which he is senior member, and of the West Coast oyster company of oyster vile, Shoal Water bay, Washington, which is owned and controlled by the Daibee x Immel company.
 Four carloads have already been con- tracted for but MT, Daibee says that this is but beginning He is unable at present to state how many car loads his shipment will comprise. Of the four already arranged for two have been purchased in this city and two in Bridgeport. Last year the shipment for this company from New Haven and Bridgeport consisted of ten carloads, 1900 barrels
 When questioned whether his pur- chases had any relation to the oyster famine which has been rumored of late MT. Dafbee stated that there was no danger of oysters being shipped to the Pacific coast to grow and then shipped east to compete with local growers. Re- garding the suggested famine he said that he had visited the oyster growers and saw no signs of any famine. While there is shortage at present in the l supply of a certain grade of oysters this is but temporary and there will be from all indications an abundance of | this grade next fall He said that the dealers expressed complete readiness to take all orders for next autumn.
 The seed oysters from Connecticut are considered of a very lligh grade and are preferred to the so-called East River and Long Island variety MT, l Daibee expects to remain here almost week longer. He plans to go to War ren this evening to investigate the oys- ter line in that place. Besides New Haven and Bridgeport shipments will probably be made from South Norwalk.

soMB WOMEN WHO GAMBLE.
An Unpleaant Picture of a Growing
 Vice.

An Unpleaant Picture of Growing Vice.
 A leading New York pawnbroker, whose uptown place of business is graced only by patrons who have valu- able possessions to pawn, tells of con stant visitations to his place of mes senger boys, porters and janitors, who come hurying in with jewels on which they are in a great hurry to raise money at once In his vaults are rings brooches and pins innumerable torn hurriedly from the ngers and gowns of card crazed women, whose interest in the game could not be appeased even when their last peny was gone. Women employ bellboys and mes sengers with such regularity that we have an average of several calls a l day. said the proprietor of the shop. Lace handerchiefs with the perfume or faint odor of cigarettes still scent 1 ing them furs and other articles of clothing come here as well as jewels The card playing of women is as i serious as that of professional gam blers, and, as the following will flu strate, it Is just as exacting.
 In one of the ultra fashionable up- town hotels a wealthy young woman entered game with some friends, and in a few hours she lost several hun dred dollars. She did not seem tc realize that the debt was one of honor and when she rose from the table she passed the matter off as a joke. She really did not consider the game in any other ligslt than that of amuse- ment but her friends had, and they were consequently enraged. The re- suit was that the loser was almost il not entirely ostracised from her set and her name was stricken from the calling list of large number of wo- men who had heard of her action
 An incident, which caused consider. able gossip at the time, came to my resort last summer. One of the well. known members of the social set ap. peared on the scene with a very hand seme lace scarf, upon which she was l selling chances for the benefit of "a distressed gentlewoman.' The scarf perhaps worth $75. was supposed tC bring several hundred chances, The exact amount of what it must bring was eternally dinned into the ears oi all who would listen. No person al the resort, not even the most inquisi. tive, could get an inkling as to where the assistance was to go. That tho scarf was rallied if and the money used for something was evident, hu
 to all inquiry the answer came Tt k for a gentlewoman in reduced circum.

Vann had one fault which ultimately caused his tragic death. He could not brook a boasting and would not take a dare" While his steamboat had no rival for speed on the Arkansas River, from it's mouth at the Mississippi to little Rock and Fort Gibson, there were two or three on the Mississippi River, between St. Louis and New Orleans. One of these boats, said to be the fast- est on the river, attempted to pass him on the way down,
 Vann had crew of thirty negroes, said to have no superior on the river. He told the boys that the Lucy Walk CT must be kept ahead no mater at what cost, An allowance of grog was given to each, and all promised to stand up to the work. The rival boat was gaining on them. The usual fuel failed to give sufficient speed. Yam went around and told the hands to gather up everything that would burn, Tar and bacon were thrown into the furnace, and soon the Lucy Walker was forging ahead of her rival.
 IlmDefS or Lhe boat creakeu ana groaned. The furnace was red hot. The boilers were seething and foam ing. The heat was terrific The pas sengers, of whom there were. about 150, became alarmed, but Vann was cool as a cucumber. He told his negro crew that they would beat the rival boat, or all go to hades together, and they promised to stand by him.
 About that time there was an awful explosion, and there was nottling left of the Lucy Walker but scattered fragments. Most of the negro were blown to atoms, besides about forty passengers dead and nearly all more or less injured Vans body was found horribly mangled.-Fort Gibson Post.

HEARD ON A TROLLEY CAR,
Tommy's Questions at Last Discon
 rartinpr to TJir paran+

Tommy's Questions at Last Discon-
 certing to His Parent.
 It was little Tommys first ride on a trolley car, and he promptly opened up:
 Papa, what makes this car go?"
 Electricity Tommy answered papa from behind his paper.
 What Is 'lectricity?"
 "Erit's power they get from bat teries and dynamos and such things"
 Tommy was silent moment and kept looking out of the window. Just then nother car came by and Tommy commenced again. "Is that funny thing on the top of the car dynamo, papa?" he asked.
 NO. Tommy, that's pole"
 Do they push 1t with that pole?"
 No; that is where the electricity Is carried from the wire to the car"
 ''Is 1t heavy to carry?"
 NO"
 The other passenger were on broad grin and papa was in a hdget. Just then another car passed and some sparks flashed from the wire.
 "Oh, papa! is that pole burning?' asked Tommy, with renewed interest.
 Papa, thinking to make the best of it, sighed and said:
 "No, my son. that is caused by the closing and breaking of the circuit.",'
 Does it often break?' Yes"
 s'Who fixes it9i
 Tommy will you stop asking ques- 1 tions2" The frantic effort of the motorman 10 stop the car at a down-grade cross ing next attracted Master Tommy's at tention.
 "Papas what that coffee mill for?"
 That's not a coffee mill; 1t is the handle to turn off and on the electri- lt:ty The man turns 1t to sart and stop the car,
 Does he wind the car up?"
 No For heavens sake, Tommy, will you be quiet?' Just then the oar stopped sudden ly and the conductor went hurriedly to the rear platform. This waso to much for Tommy.
 Papa, the car stopped that time and the man did not turn the grinder"
 The car has slipped It's trolley"
 "Then we won't get hom, will we?" Certainly; why not?"
 Because the other night, when you didn't get home, Uncle Henry told mamma he had seen you, and you 'looked as if you had slipped your troll ley"
 We got off here" said Tommy's father quickly and as the car started on it's way again even the hum of the motor did not drown the shrill shrieks l of Tommy. And every indiviual woman in the car glanced back and murmured "The brute!"-seattle Post Intelligencer.

END OF THE LUCY WALKER.
Steamboat Race on the Mississippi
 That Cost Many lives.

Steamboat Race on the Mississippi
 That Cost Many lives.
 Passing the place few days since where this noted Cherokee Indian used to live, we were reminded of the his- tory and tragic death of the man, Joe Vann, who was the noted Cherokee of his time. He used to live about three miles below Fort Gibson, oposite the south of Bayou Manard, on the opoo- site side of the Arkansas River.
 He owned 300 slaves, 300 of whom were men. He had thousands of acres of land, many cattle and horses, some being racing stock. He owned the finest steamboat that came up the Arkansas River to Fort Gibson, when the United States Government had a line of boats to this place to supply the large garrison that stationed here. This boat was named the Lucy Walker, and in those days was noted for her speed. She ran between Fort Gibson and lower Mississippi ports, even to New Orleans, carving passengers and freight.
 Vann was strange Indian, unlike any known before or since, and was known as dead game sport" "-open hearted, brave and generous to a fault. He was good to all his slaves, and they all liked him and would obey him in anything. He won and lost large sums on horse racing and gambling, but it was all the same to him, for he kept up his end of the sport at all times and seasons. This was along in the sos and '4Os, not long after the Cherokees took possession of this coun- 4ry
