notorious women 0oU60s0f0s
One Of the most notorious female
gamblers ef the eighteenth century
was Miss Pelham. the daughter Of the
English prime minister. she not only
ruined herself at cards. but would
have begeared her sister Mary as well
had not their friends interviewed and
insisted on the sisters separating. Hor-
ace Walpole gives a pitiful account of
poor Miss Pelham sitting up all night
at the club without . woman, losing
hundreds a night and her temper. beat
ing her head and making q scene be-
fore the young men and the walters"
Another writer says that the unhappy
woman often played cards with the
tears streaming down her cheeks.
Lady Mary Compton. IN old maiden
lady. q contemporary Of Miss Pelham
and, like her, addicted to gambling,
had the same propensity to tears.
When she lost. We are told. she wept
bitteriy-"not for the loss ITSELF" she
was careful to explain, ''but for the
unkindness Of the cards"

Telephone calls to the mayor for q
week past preceded the presentation
of an innocent looking ordinance to
require awnings to be raised.
"Milliners." say the councilmen.
Our rights" say the women.
Where do we, come in?" protest
the merchants who pay for the avn
ings and want their windows shaded.
But SO 1t stands with the ordinance
now before the judiciary committee
OF the council.
Will 1t pass? No one knows. for the
big hated lobby has been at work.
Its members defeated the Cermak bill
at Springfield by wiles best known to
themselves. They intend to have this
ordinance passed? Will they? Well.

JUDGE CONSIDERABLE
He Will Not Call Upon Petit
Jury Any More Than
Necessary.
RAIN HURTS THE FARMERS

Judge Fox is not going to bother
the members of the petit jury for ser
vice any more than is absolutely nee
essary. As the consequence some
cases in which a trial by jury was to
be asked will have to be continued or
the lawyers consent that they be
heard by the court The judge says
the heavy rains have put the work Of
farmers back SO far that it would be
a shame to require them to give their
time to jury service just now. Nearly
all members of the jury reside on a
farm. One case requiring jury has
been set for trial June II. It win be
the only one heard. however. and the
court has said he will demand that the
attorneys hurry through. The jury
certainly win rejoice at the judges
decision.

Secret Service Men Are Act
ing to Check Gigantic Plot
To Overthrow President Of
Venezuela.
AGENTS ARE TRYING
TO SMUGGLE OUT ARMS
1t Is Said It Is Planned to
Rush Castro From Spain as
Soon as the Revolt Is un-
der Way.

New York. June 9.-To Illustrate a
gigantic plot for the overthrow OF
President Gomez of Venezuela and an
uprising in the interests Of Ciaprano
Castro, the former president, which
has been financed with 100000 and
in pursuance of which an attempt is
being made to smuggle $1,000 rifles
from this country into the South Am
erican Republic, United States secret
service men, headed by Chief John e.
wilkie, are searching for the leaders
here.
The secret service agents were
started to work at the instigation OF
the diplomatic representatives OF Ven
ezuela, the operations of the revision
lists being directed from this country
and details being worked out In var
ioue cities here. Every effort is being
made to head off the proposed fill
clustering expedition from this coun-
try.
Castro In Spain.
Former President Castro is now In
Santander Spain. 1t is the plan.' 1t is
asserted, to rush him to Venezuela as
soon as the uprising is well under
way.
Recently, it has just been learned.
$1,000 Mauser rifles were shipped to
New York from Belgium. From this
city they were re-shipped to st. Louis.
The secret service men are now try
ing to trace these arms.
Early last Sunday morning steam

company, quietly left secluded port
on the North Carolina coast, after its
crow had talked mysteriously OF an
intended voyage to Venezuela.
Takes Arms Abroad.
A few days prior to that time an
other and smaller craft recently &C.
quired here from a large railroad com.
pany, steamed from North River
pier ostensibly to meet the larger YES
sell Additional men were carried by
this craft to join the crew of the 9th
er ship. These vessels, it is believed,
have been directed to endeavor to
take aboard tht arms imported from
Birmingham at some southern port,
probably near New Orleans or Mobile.
Two weeks ago a large local export
ing firm sent a large shipment to
Venezuela by two lines which ply reg
ularly to that republics ports. Sec
ret service men have taken up an in
vestigation Of the manifests and bills
Of lading covering these shipments in
an effort to ascertain whether they
could have embraced supplies that
would aid the intending revolutionists.
Close watch also is being kept at
Southern ports, and the re-shipment
Of those imported rifles to st. Louis is
being traced.
It is taken as significant that Senior
Garbiras Guzman, the last of Castro's
acknowledgement and formerly the
Venezuelan charge d'affaires at Wash
ington under that regime, who was
exiled by President Gomez, has been
active in New York city.

FOUNDRY COMPANY
HAS BEEN FORMED
Local Men Have About Com
pleted Organization of
New Concern.
WILL FILL A GREAT WANT
WILL MAKE ALL GRAY CASTINGS
WHICH LOCAL CONCERNS NOW
HAVE TO HAVE MADE OUTSIDE
OF THE CITY. .-..
WILL FILL A GREAT WANT

A proposition is on foot among local
capitalists for the organization Of a
stock company for the purpose Of man.
ufacturing gray iron castings. Those
interested expect within . short time
to have the organization completed A
number Of the local manufacturing
proceed with the venture. as they have
to send their extra work out Of the city
owing to the limited foundry facilities
in their own shops
One of those interested stated this
morning that 1t is probable the capital
stock would be $4,000 and the work
ing capacity of the plant, 80 tons per
day. At the start the promoters ex-
pect enough work from the local con-
Germs to employ in the neighborhood
of 50 men. most of whom will be
skilled moulders. It will also be nee
essary to employ a few pattern max
ers and q small number Of unskilled
laborers.

as the site for the location of the foun-
dry. The directors Of the South Side
Improvement association are angling
for its location there and have offered
excellent inducements. The size Of
the foundry will probably be IS by $50
feet, and there will be other necessary
buildings, all OF which will be Of brick
construction and most modern in ar
rangement and equipment.
According to the present plans the
company will handle only gray iron
castings and later. probably. make ar
rangements for handling malleable
iron castings made out of the city. but
the list of those having their gray iron
castings made elsewhere is quite large.
There is not a factory in the city with
sufficient foundry space to satisfy its
demands at all times Of the year. A
large amount Of this work is made at
Marion and other points in the gas
belt The additional cost Of shipping
the material to this city makes this ar
rangement somewhat unsatisfactory.
