WOMAN CARD SHARP ABOARD?
KAISER'S PASSENGERS TELL or
A TCMGLT AT BRIDGE.

Little Woman In Black Got the Other
WOmen's Money In the Vienna Room
and n Notice Was Put Up Warning
Ladies Not to Gamble with strangers.
When the passengers landed from the
North German Lloyd steamer Kaiser Will
helm H., which arrived yesterday from
Bremen, they told a tale Of a female card
sharper who had appeared in the Vienna
room the seoond day out and won con-
siderable money from other women.
According to all accounts, she was small,
dressed in bla ok and accompanied by a
tall, good looking man who seemed to be
English. After making a few aoqunint-
ances among the passengers the two went
to the Vienna room, which is %frequented
almost entirely by women. There a game
Of bridge was suggested.
The woman in black was one Of the
players, while her companion stood watch
ing the game. Before long the stalk es
were raised TO five cents a point and things
became interesting.
The woman in black proved to be an
adept, particularly when it came to guess
ing what cards the Others held. Her
knowledge was 30 surprisingly accurate
that the other players 7 nd the bystanders
began to watch her. They noticed that she
smiled at the Englishman a good deal.
Transferring their attention to him, they
saw that he made peculiar sorts of mo-
tions with his hands, just the kind that
could be attributed to nervousness.
But the motions seemed to be interpreted
by the woman in black and her particularly
good plays always followed them. After
watching long enough to be certain one Of
the women In the game accused the woman
in black OF cheating.
The game broke up amid great excitement
before any one had lost a fortune, but the
tumult which the discovery started was
quelled only by the arrival Of the officers.
The next morning the following notice
appeared on the door Of the Vienna room ,
signed by Capt. Hogemann:
WARNING.
Certain things have come to my knowledge:
passengers. and especially ladies. are warned
against playing games Of chance with stran-
gers.
The woman in black and her companion
were i~noonspiouous for the rest Of the trip.
When they appeared they were ostraoized
by the other passengers,
Capt. Hogemann refused to discuss the
story, but the passenger stuck to 1t.

FEW RUSSIAN WoRKMEN VOTE.
Candidates Chosen In Independent Fac
tories Promptly Arrested.

special Cdois Despatch TO The Sun.
ST. PETERSBURG, March 2l.-The primary
voting for delegates to represent the work.
men In the final election for members Of
the Duma demonstrated that the State
controlled factories throughout the country
are the most active centres Of the revo-
lutionary propaganda. The employees are
against using their votes and are openly
hostile to the Duma.
The men in the Obouchoff ordnance foun-
dry, near st, Petersburg, whore $4,000
hands are employed under the direction Of
the Ministry OF War, refu sed to choose
electors. The workmen in tine Govern
ment's principal cartridge factory at lula
refused to choose any. of the five delegates
allowed under the electoral law. The
yorkmen in the imperial railroad work.
shops at Wanovo and Vosnessensk also
refused to participate In the election. The
employees In several of the leading inde-
pendent industrial enterprises adopted the
same attitude.
The men In Siemen & Halske's electrical
works here explained their refusal by
saying that as soon as they canvassed the
claims of any candidate he disappeared
from the works and eventually was obliged
to quit the locality. There are numberless
reports of such interference by the political
police throughout the country.
The elector chosen by the peasants Of
Simferopol is a school teacher. He was IN
prisoned on a political charge Immediately
he was elected. The peasants refused to
elect another delegate.
Al insignificant minority of the peasants
participated in the elections in the prov
inces. In the ustujna district Of Mini
Novgorod only 1000 received election
notices, although 5000 we're entitled to
vote. A petition for a new election has
been prepared in this district.
Where the urban workmen voted, as in
some factories in st. Petersburg and Mos
COW, the Constitutional Democrats almost
invariably elected their candidates.

"Character" Stories.

The giving of character" to do nestle servants is one of the severest tests of the employers character. An Irish master, being called upon to write testimonial for groom whom he was discharging for drunkenness, gave him a good character, but omit ted to mention one trait The groom returned the letter, objecting that it did not say he was sober. The master added sometimes sober," and the man was content.

Who Were the Neut of Kin9


 A curious case was tried in England about century ago to decide the Ques- tion of next of kin. Job Taylor, quar- termaster in the Royal artillery, was drowned. with his wife Lucy. in try ing to save her after shipwreck. He had made a vi1l leaving all that he possessed 70 hep, but as she did not live to give the will effect a dispute arose among their next of kin as to the proper disposal of the estate, which was valued at &4,OOO.
 It had been ruled, in conformity with a principle of the Roman civil law, that when tive pertshed together in common calamity and 1t was un. certain which was for a time the sur vivor the decision should favor which ever was the more robust In this case the wife had distinctly the better con- stitutiou, but as against this 1t was urged that, as he plunged in to save her, she probably expired first. After lengthy arguments the judge held that. though strong in constitution, the wife would probably have been more timid than her soldier husband and granted administration to his next of kin.

American Hotel Life.

At heart Americans still enjoy hotel life immensely, in spite of much re- proof from foreigners who consider it in bad form. The American has not really acquired the country house habit although he as trying to do So. It does not as yet satisfy his longing for constant change of scene and entire in- dependence. Hotel life. condemned as 1t is by the finely discriminating as un- homelike, Haunting and too public, still appeals to the average American as very diverting interlude to domestic eX- clusiveness. They even prefer it in reality to entertaining or being enter tained after the hospitable, but some what responsible, European fashion, London Telegraph.

WHEN THE HEAD OF
 THE FIRM TAKES IT EASY

Conducting a business is like roll ing a huge boulder up a hill. The moment you cease to push it, the mo- ment you take your shoulder from it and think you will rest and take it easy. the boulder begins to crowd lack upon you, and, if you are not careful. it will either run over and crush vou or get way from you alto eether and go to the bottom with crash. Il is necessary to be everlaat- ingly pushing, following up the bould- CT, keeping it going, in order to get it to the top of tue hill.
 One of the greatest dangers of ear ly proseprity in any line is a tendency to relax effort. Many man ceases to grow when his salary is raised, or when he is advanced to higher posi- tion. Many a business man, after he has built up a large business, ceas- es to exert himself; and the mo- ment he pauses in his campaign of pushing and struggling, the moment he begins to relax in giving his close nersonal attention, his basinesss cees IS to advance, and fatal dry-rot sets
