Whist was a favorite game with the
foreign ministers and elder statesmen.
Mr.. Clay, General Scott, Mr.. Bodisco.
and Mr.. Fox, who represented William
". and Queen Victoria, often played
together, a hundred dollars being the
usual stake. They generally played
well as Hoyle taught the game. There
were always inveterate minister's in the
senate. There is a story of protract-
ed sitting at the card table, at which
Governor Stokes, of North Carolina,
and Mountjoy Bailey, sergeant-at-
arms of the senate, were two of the
players. 1t ran in this wise: The
senate had adjourned from Thursday
over to Monday.
The party sat down at cards Thurs
day evening. They played all night
and all the next day, only stopping
occasionally for refreshments. The
game was continued Friday night and
Saturday, through Saturday night and
all day Sunday and Sunday night, the
players resting for a snatch of sleep
as nature became exhausted. Mon
day morning the game swas in full
blast; but at 10 o'clock Bailey moved
an adjournment, alleging that his of
ficial duties required his presence in
the senate chamber. Stokes resisted
and rose from the table. The COVER
nor grumbled and scolded, but finally
gave 1t up.

SEVEN STATES TO
Join TOGETHER.
NORTHWEST RAILWAY
COMMISSIONS TO UNITE
Meeting of Oregon, Washington and
Montana Commissions Invites the
Commissions of North and South
Dakota, Minnesota and Wisconsin
to Unite I'm Combination to Secure
Uniform Rules and Practices-An-
other Meeting In July at Seattle.

If q combination of railroads lis
beneficial to the railroads, a COM
bination of railroad commissions
should be beneficial to the commits
sions and the people which they rep
resent, and so with this in view. the
three railroad commissions of the
northwest states-Oreson, Washing
ton and Montana, have formed a COM
bination and will invite into 1t the
railroad commissions of North and
South Dakota, Minnesota and Wiscon-
sin.
bination of railroad commissions, as
well as pool Of railroads from st.
Paul to the Pacific coast and 1t is
hoped by the commissions to be able
to do effective work in this way.
Uniform rules, uniform rates, uni
form practices In all the northwest
states will be adopted as far as possi-
BILE and the business of regulating
rates by state commissions will be re-
duced to the same degree of skill as
obtains in the art af making rates by
railroads.
A meeting of the Oregon, Washing
ton and Montana commissions held at
Portland this week brought out the
proposed organization of the various
commissions through the northwest
states and another meeting will be
held in Seattle in July at whach time
1t is hoped to secure the cooperation
of South and North Dakota, Minne-
sofa and Wisconsin.
SO far the three commissions of the
northwest, Oregon, Washington and
Montana. are working closely together.
Conditions existing in these three
states being practically identical, max
ing cooperation necessary and easy.
Practically the same lines of road are
found in all the states except that
the o. r. & N. is not operated in
Montana nor the Great Northern in
oregon, but conditions and traffic
questions are identical and it is hoped
by the commissions to secure excellent
results from a close combination and
uniformity of action.
Washington being the first Of the
states to elect a permanent commits
sion, is taken largely as a criterion,
except in cases where the Washington
commission finds its own regulations
and laws lame.

.WASH|NGTON'S FAMOUS GAMBLING DENS

Forty years ago Washington was a
hotbed for gamblers of low and high
degree, and there were gambling
houses on every block from the capitol
to the White House, says a Washing
ton correspondent. There were a
dozen faro banks on the avenue near
Sixth street, and many of these houses
had club rooms attached, where con-
gressmen and others could be to
! themselves. The last of these gambl-
ing houses was broken up in 1870,
when Joe Halls place was closed by
the marshal. It was the last of the
great gambling saloons, and after 1t
was closed Hal began to slide down
hill rapidly and died a pauper.
While there is not now a gambling
house In Washington, there is still
some betting, of course. Some sena-
tors and a good many representatives
manage to get up some pretty stiff
games in their private homes, but the
stakes are as nothing compared to
those wagered when Washington was
wide-open town and the sports were
left unmolested. Gambling, and for
large sums, was common in those
days, and especially among southern
ern and western members.
Scores of them squandered their
modest per diem (then IS only at
the gaming tables, and some impair
ed their private fortunes by the same
indulgence. The most notorious and
dashing gambler of the day was Ed
ward Pendleton. He came from Vir-
ginia, where he was we'll connected,
and married a most accomplished
young woman of this city, whose faith
er had a responsible position under
the government.
At his club house Pendleton gave
sumptuous entertainments which were
attended by the most eminent public
men of the day. Mr.. Mangum, then
president of the senate; John C. Crit
tenden, John NJ. Bolts, John B..
Thompson of Kentucky and Lynn
Boyd, afterwards speaker of the house,
and others of lesser note, were fire.
quently his guests.
Congress had enacted strong penal
laws to prevent gambling, but they
were a dead letter unless some poor
devil made a complaint Of foul play
or some fleeced blackleg sought ven
geance through the aid of the grand
jury, and then the matter was usually
compounded by the payment Of
money.
1t was in Pendleton's place that s.
S. Prentiss, then a whig representative
in congress from Mississippi, and in
the zenith of his fame, lost his for
tune in a single night at faro. At
one time during the great game Prem
tiss was $4,000 ahead, but at day
light his winnings and 100000 were
gone. He decided Pendleton three
warehouses in Vicksburg to cover a
debt of $4,000 which he owed the
bank. An old gambler in Washing
ton who witnessed the game, says 1t
was perhaps the heaviest stakes ever
put up in a gambling house in this
city.

GAME ! ;ET HANDSOME
JPHY.

In view of - eat interest taken
this year by everybody in the local
football team and to stimulate the
boys to their greatest efforts, Kristian
Falkenberg has offered to the winner
of the Thanksgiving game played here
annually between Whitman and ~. s.
c., magnificent silver loving cup, the
best he has in his store.
This cup will be inscribed every year
with the name of the winner and the
score which won the game. In case
either school wins it three years sue
cessively, it becomes the permanent
property of that school.
The Thanksgiving game is always
the big game of the year between the
two schools in their friendly rivalry
for the football supremacy, and this
year the local team will make every
effort to have the cup inscribed with
their names as winners and that by a
generous score. That it may rest with
Whitman this year is the hearty wish
of the Statesman.
