NEGRO TROOPS ARE SHIFTED.
Company Of White Soldiers Ordered
10 Fort Brown.

Washington. August 2O.-Orders
were issued today by the military see
retary, Major General +. c. Aims
worth, for the transfer of colored
troops from Fort Brown. Texas, where
there has been serious trouble be-
tween the citizens and the soldiers, to
Fort Ringgold. Texas. which is about
100 miles above Fort Brown and l.
also on the Rio Grande.
One company of the Twenty-sixtl
infantry is ordered to Fort Brown Ia
take the place of the colored troops.
The company ordered to Fl Brown
is made up of white men. This shift
ing about of troops was made subse
quent to a report from Major c. W
Penrose, on the situation at Ft. Brown
and after an appeal by Senator Cul-
berson to President Roosevelt. In
his report, Major Penrose, says he
was persuaded that the killing OF
one of the citizens in Brownville and
the wounding of another was the work
of the soldiers. although he has as yet
been unable to discover who the gull
~ men are.

ALCoRN RAIDED BY SLEUTHS.
But as Usual There Was Nothing
Doing" Whatever.

Another unsuccessful attempt was
made to gather in a bunch of the
pasteboard manipulators at the Al
corn hotel SUNDAY night. Two MEN,
bers of the police force climbed to the
third floor of the hostelry, but, strange
to say, all was serene and quiet when
the bue-eoats arrived. There was not
even a suspicion of anything doing.
1t is a strange matter to some peo-
pie why the police are always just a
few minutes behind the gamblers. 1t
has been stated on good authority
that one of the participants in the
alleged poker game there is paralyzed
in both legs and cannot walk without
the aid of two crutches, Yet he always
has time TO get out of sight ere the
sleuths appear on the scene. 1t only
takes an ordinarily physically healthy
man about two minutes to climb two
stairs.
Verify, there are more things in
Heaven and Earth, Horatio, than are
dreamed of in your philosophy.

CHARMS THAT BRING LUCK
superstitions Of Bridge Playsrs-
Houses and Seats That Are
Unlucky.

II is now obvious that the portion Of
society which takes Its gambling seri-
ously--it is a very large portion in
Aesd-has become very superstitious.
An instance In point Is the buying OF
the ankh which. as now sold In Bond
street in gold and jewels. 10 extremely
popular. says the London Daily Mail.
The ankh is the sign Of life. and
consequently Of good luck striving
against bad; a symbol Of Egyptian
origin composed Of 4 headless cross
attached to a stirrup circle.
Gambling has always gone hand In
hand with belief In the eficacy Of
charms, but the fair votaries Of bridge
60 much further and there are end
less little ceremonies which are sup
posed to initiate for or against their
chance OF winning.
A charming lady who might. with
out undue conceit, have styled herself
"ons who knows" quotes an instance:
Whenever you cut for . fresh deal
or after q rubber" she said. the one
Who cuts lowest has. as you know, the
choice Of cards and seats. and they in
variably turn the winning people out
Of their seats and choose the winning
pack" Sometimes they elect to sit
against the hinges Of the table, be-
cause that is the lucky side.
As for the charms which are sup
posed to bring luck. their name ia
legion; the most favored are little
dwarfs, lucky sixpences and the New
Zealand greensboro.
II must not be supposed that these
superstitions are confined TO the
ladies. Two we'll known card players
at Whites are extremely proud OF pos
sessing some pieces OF hangman's
rope, and from the possession OF these
trophies they date their good luck.
Certain houses are considered lucky
to play in. though OF course house
which is lucky for one player may be
unlucky for the other. Particular clubs
also are much in favor among card
players.
