more votes on the county seat removal

Editor Monteith, of Finley, has
stated at least twice that if Hope got
more votes than Finley that he would

bad fellow anyway.

GUARDS LIGHTHOUSE
FOR HALF CENTURY
Famous Woman Tender Nov,
Considers the Taking of
A Vacation.

Newport. r. l., May 3o.-Miss ida
Lewis, the only woman in charge of.an
American lighthouse. who has been at
Lime Rock Lighthouse. in Newport
Harbor, for over fifty years, is consid-
ering a short vacation.
If she decides to go it will be her

more than half century.
Miss Lewis last fall received from
the American Cross of Honor Society

membership in the order. She is the
first American woman to receive such
an honor.
Since then Miss Lewis has received
pension from the Carnegie hero fund

KILLED BY POLICE
PatrOIman Shoots Man Placed
Under Arrest on SuS-
piCion.
CHARGES AGAINST HIM.

Scranton. Pa. May 3O.-Frederick
Foster, 26 years old. of Dunmore, is
dying at the state hospital with a bull
let in his head. The wound was in
flicted by PatrOlman Oliver Crown
well, from whom Foster attempted to
escape late at night. after he had been
placed under arrest. The shooting
was done with Fosters own revolver
which the officer had taken from him,
and in his pockets later was found a
false moustache and a bottle of car
bolic acid.
When arrested the man was lurking
about the vicinity of the home of Miss
Ida Rinker. of 1115 Vine street. who
Tilted him some weeks ago. and it is
the theory of the police that he in
tended her death. A letter written by
him to the young woman also gives
that impression.
Cromwell claims that the shooting
was accidental, but it is probable that
Fosters father will cause his arrest.

In previous years a good many for
tunes have been won by reason of the
inexplicable sequence in which GER
tain numbers invariably turn up. The
habitue of Monte Carlo knows well
that after the ball has fallen on zero
one or the other of two numbers will
usually gain, either q or 8. In conse-
quence, he takes a gold louis en- plein
on 81, with a couple of louis on the
first dozen, and, strangely enough one
of the other numbers will win about
six times out of ten. Again, if 80
comes up, one of the numbers from
81 to Sc is almost certain TO follow.
Why this should be no one has ever
been able to discover. The numbers
bers are distributed over the wheel in
so uneven a manner that fraud on
the part of the crOupier who launches
the ball is rendered absolutely impOs-
sible; in addition to which il must be
remembered that the wheel always
travels in a direction opposite TO the
ball. Yet. even with these precau-
tiOnS, there are certain numbers on
the wheel which are almost invariably
followed by others. and it seems as
though in such instances Fate has set
herself largely against the bank and in
favor of the player
In previous years | have watched
these numbers come up with surpris-
ing regularity. while the professions
ais" have staked their hundred-franc
notes en- plein and won, much to the
wonder of the amazed onloOkers. The
Casino administration have spent much
time and thought upon trying to solve
the problem, for they we'll know that
for years the professional roulette
players have followed various systems
and for that matter every one plays a
system at Monte Carlo.
Four New Pegs Changed the Luck.
On October 1, last. just prior to the
opening of the season. the Casino man

which of the four mules ears" caught
the circling ball and diverted it, the

NO BREAKING THE BANK
AT MONTE CARLO NOW
For First Time in Years Gambling He'll Goes Through the
Season Without Player Making a Large Winning.

There has been no "breaking the
bank at Monte Carlo" this season.
The bank has got nearly all the
money in sight, and Casinos profits
this season will amount to one mil
lion dollars more than in any previous
year.
The famous gambling palace of the
world has for the first time since the
Casino was opened in 1877 passed
through a season without a player
making sensational winning In
fact, the biggest winning of the year
was $4,000, which is regarded as
small potatoes" among the big play
ers, says the New York World.
When l was at Monte Carlo early in
the season all the big players were
deep in the game, expecting to win
fabulous sums as the winter advanced.
All the famous old timers were there
Stokes, of Hong Kong; Harry Nc
Calmont, of England: Douglas Baird
of Scotland; jerks, the American. the
most famous baccarat player in the
world; young Armstrong. of Pennsyl-
vania. who won 100000 last season;
Ben Fairchild and the rest of them.
A big Russian syndicate sent a
crack player down from St Petersburg
with $4,000 and a private secretary
to keep an account of his winnings
He. too. fell victim to the banks big
run of luck, and when saw him last
his capital had dwindled to $1,000
The chief source of profit to the Ca
sino has been from the thousands of
small punters rather than from the
big players. and later on am going
to tell of the trick played on the pub
lie. for there is reason for the
banks big run of luck.
Americans have been much in evil
dence at Monte Carlo this season.

Bank" Now Makes All Winnings.
The fact that the bank has been
making all the winnings this season
has caused more suicides than usual
There have been half a hundred of
these unfOrtunates. the most sensation
al being that of Julius Kardos, a
young Hungarian artist from Buda-
pest. He shot himself at a roulette
table in full view of a crowd of gam
blers. He had lost all his money at
the tables and the Casino management
offered him 5000 if he would leave the
place. This he refused to do and Dor
rowed S4O0 from a Hungarian noble
man. With this he decided to try
his luck for the last time at roulette.
Seated between two women, one the
daughter of a we'll known American
doctor. and the other a French woman
he lost coup after coup. When the
last gold piece went he drew a revolver
and shot himself The American wo-
man jumped up with a mortified cry
and the French woman, across whose
lap his body had fallen. tainted away
An hour later the roulette game was
going on as usual.
And how do they play roulette at
Monte Carlo and what is the secret of
the Casinos big success this season -:
Roulette on its face is a fair game.
Between two long 'tableaux," or ia
bles, is the roulette wheel-a horizon
tally revolving hollow inverted cone,
with thirty seven compartments
around the outer edge. An ivory ball
is sent whirling in a groove around the
wheel. One of the compartments is
numbered o. The others are number
ed from l to So. The ball after Ger
tain revolutions. drops into one of
these compartments. If it drops into
Q, the wheel takes all the stakes that
have been deposited upon the various
numbers. If it drops into compart-
ment No. 10. for instance, the player
who has staked any given sum on No.
10. receives from the bank thirty six
times this amount, and the stakes of
all the other players are confiscated
by the bank.

months passed before some of the
players discovered the difference be-
tween the old wheels and the new. So
this season all the old systems took
wing, all the previous calculations of
the professionals were for naught, and
the Casino has won amazingly and
largely increased its profits.
However, the Casino has always
played ahead of the game, hence the
profit of five million dollars annually.
