A GAMBLERS CAREER.
Good and Bad Traits of Wickedest
Man in New York.

From the Brooklyn Standard Upf4n.
Perhaps the greatest gambler that this
eountrv has ever produced passed away
when Theodore Allen died. Certainly no
man now living has spent the time at the
business that he did or attained the no
toriety that resulted from incessant clash
ing with the authorities, whom he fought
with dogged persistence and remarkable
success. Allen continued 10 run the pool
rooms despite repeated efforts Of the po-
lice, whom he is said 10 have steadily re-
fused to bribe. There might be some truth
in this statement, but very likely he
bought immunity at times the same as
other gamblers have done.
While the 'pooIroom king" earned the
distinction Of being the "wickedest man
in New York he had some virtues Of
heart and mind that shone brightly and
which endeared him TO a great many peo-
pie. He was far from being entirely sor-
did or callous, and a warm and generous
heart beat in his breast, Notwithstanding
the fact that his calling was calculated to
make him Indifferent to the wants and
sufferings of others He gave his money
freely to the poor, and to his everlasting
credit it can be said that he paid the fu-
neral expenses Of some 400 pennfiess peo-
pie In addition TO this he adopted five
children and aided his wife, who was a
very religious woman, and a practical
Christian worker
The son of a Methodist minister. Allen

path, from which he never branched OF.
His leading characteristic was determine.

because Of his gambling habits. he de-
cided he would fight it alone rather than
retreat, a virtue which, put to a better
