Charles Rood's Curious CottnRo-
r
St. toul republican.
The successor of John JIorrisBoy at
Saratoga is Charles Hoed , a brawny
. Buofooter , with full board , heavy over
topping fore-locks and broad shoul
ders. Although how the gayest of
sports , ho was once under the sentence
of death in Now Orlcnrw for having
shot n Union solder. Ben Butler was
in favor of hanging him , but Gen.
Itanks pardoned mm. The club house
opposite the Congress park is the most
unblushing gambling hell in America ,
made into a gilded palace of sin. The
house is of brick , with nn ornamental
jlront and an L extension , where pools
were formally sold , and where n bar
is now kept. Thd ( lower garden nt
the corner has n fountain , casting
spray over beds of ferns , palms and
.foliage plants. There is a lawn on the
.opposite side of the house , in the ecu-
.ire of which is n cistern containing
'Jive trout. Upon the cross street there
are several cottages for the use of
male friends of the proprietor. I ced
yhos q small army of men in his em
ploy , and ho kcopi them all beneath
the robf his club-house , so that when
Miowutta them ho'knows ' where to
find them. Ho makes himself "a factor
in the politics of Saratoga , so that ho
is not disturbed.- . Cornell's
disturbed.T Upv. pro
clamation against gambling houses has
had no perceptible effect here.
"How is it , " I asked of an old
"resident , "that in Now York gambling
" niust bo conducted so secretly , while
hoi'o ' , where the same law is in force ,
'it is almost paraded ? " *
' , < "Just because , " ho said , "public
'opinion toloratps it hero ! ilood's
club h6uso is one of Saratoga's insti-
" tutions.1' It brings many , people hero
who otherwise would not cotnc , and
'it'bringsmoney ' to the town. " '
* lf ono does'not ' know the side en
trance which leads into the club
'liouso ' , ho can enter by ringing the
front * door-boll. A
- negro opens the
door , docs not say a word , and if the
visitor will put on n look for a moment -
mentconvoying the idea that ho
Icnowa where ho is going to , ho is ad
mitted into a grand hall , richly car
peted. There is n restaurant there ,
'whoro the best cooking in Saratoga
may bo had. To the loft ia a reading-
room with high coiling , massive glass
chandeliers , big tables and easy furni-
turo. The interior woodwork is all
of polished walnut , but the walls are
as yet bare and are staring white.
'The'great ' gambling room is on the
right. It 1 brilliantly lighted and
richly furnished , and the air is filled
with excitement which at once lias a
eoductivo effect upon the innate spirit
of gambling in every man. Rich ta
bles around the rejoin have each a
"lav-out" for n different gamo. The
tables are splendid pieces of mechan
ism. They are covered with billiard
cloth and are richly inlaid. At each
tables there sits a dealer employed by
the house. Ono old man attracted
my attention. His hair and long ,
full board were as white OH snow. Ho
aoomod io have been all of his long
lifo in the nefarious business , and ho ,
had a cold nnd flinty Ibok and manner.
Ho was alone behind a table , rattling
dice in a box and exclaiming to himself -
self ovof the good luck of hia throws.
JNb ono seemed to care to play his
.gamo , but as the loungers passed lie
( rattled the dice , throw them and
chucklod. The bait , however , did
, not catch. The reason waa because
all attention waa riveted upon two
games. Ono was faro. A middle-
.axed man with that ghostly complex
ion men. who work their brains at
night cot , sat as dealer A silvor-
platml box , the size of n pack of cards
with n strong spring in the bottom ,
Jffjw before him. The "lay out" was
ol cards of ivory , sot into the billiard
cloth. A half-dozen men sat
around the table. Some had
charts kopping tally of the game to
got at the "habit" of tho-cards , and
also to keep a run of the cards at
each deal. Each player had n pile of
ivory buttons , called "chips , " before
Lim , nnd ho placed those upon differ
ent cards about the table , As the
dealer slipped out n oard , the ono
that appeared determined the fate of
players. If the house * von the dealer -
or would rake in the chips , and if the
player won ho would plaeo n chip on
the ono that was upon the winning
card. There was not word uttered at
the game , No ono expressed surprise ,
aatitfaction or regret. A young man
at the end of th * tablescarco ( twenty-
one , who sroinpd to have fallen heir
to an estate , was' playing recklessly
and twitched nervously as ho supplied
the places of the chips that were
Tilced off. A seed-looking man of
about thirty who seemed to have
"bucked the tiger" for the worse ,
lost all that ho had and quickly gave
up his seat. It was taken by an old
man with a severe cast of features
-who handed in a $20 bill nnd took n
pile of chips. Ho waited for n fresh
deal and placed a half n dozen chips
an the board. Ilo raked in live dollars
lars , Ho played cautiously nnd In
about ton minutes lie handed in $35
worth of chips for which ho got cash.
Then he stopped away. The dealer
jwid for the chips from a blank book
tilled with bank notes and impassively
handed out the money , made n pencil
memorandum of the amount and went
on with the deal. The seedy-looking
man had raised $5 somewhere and lie
handed it in for more chips. In about
five minutes these were all raked off
and heaving a deep nigh ho arose , and
wiping liis brow with his hand , wont
out into the cool night air.
"Do gamblers consider this a fair
game ? " I asked a player nt my elbow ,
MThe deal is fair/1 he saidj "but
' the house makes its money on the
plit cards. That is , if you bet on
i the ace and two aces come together in
, * the pack the house cots half of your
money. If you watch the dealer you
, will see tlwt he takes up the cards
once in a while and shuttles them. He
understands how lo bring the card *
together BO that they split or will
como out two alike. "
The game that attracted most atten
tion , however , was rogue tl io r , more
commonly called hero roulette. About
300 men wore packed like sardciics
around a long table , in the centre of
which thcro was a revolving wheel , nt
the bottom of n hole shaped like n
dibft-pan. This wheel is filled with
alternate slots , colored red and black ,
and numbered as high as 30. Squares
of black and red of corresponding
numbers are laid out upon the table lethe
the right and left of the whcol. The
dealer throws a marble in an opposite
direction to which the wheel is revolv
ing , and the players place ttioir chipi
about upon the black or the red.
whichever they play to win. The ball
runs around the surface of the Moping
dido of the uhool for about n minute
and a half and then drops into ono of
the slots. ' If black , black wins , and
the tilnyor who has his chips upon
say No. 30 black gets 30 times the
amount ho has played. Tno dealer
sweep * in all of the remaining chipi
upon the cloth1 Whilo'inuch money
is won by thu winner the chances in
his favor are small. The game is now
all the rago. Everybody discusses it ,
and nearly everyone who goes to the
club-houso playu it. There were
beardless boys , certainly not out of
their teens , who were playing along
lido of old men. I saw a familiar facu
in n chair at ono end of the tablo. It
was that of n speculator , who is not
known to fame , but who is in fact one
of the shrewdest operators in Wall
strccct , having made over a million
dollars by careful speculation there.
Ho was playing with the same care at
roulette , and seemed to be a winner.
Tom Ochlltrco who is it that hasn't
hoard of him mid his stories-said
that there was a Jew out west who
bought all of the privileges at a county
fair , and ninong others that of having
a roulette table. Ho had an ingeni
ous mechanism worked by a wire stir
rup beneath the table , by which ho
could with his foot regulatd the re
volving wheel so at ) to mnko the ball
drop in black or rod just as it suited
his advantage. Ho had BO much other
business that ho had to leave a broth
er Israelite in charge of the wheel ,
as luck M'ould have it , there canto
along a reckless man just then , who
put down about § 200 upon the red ,
and won. The Joiv came running up
in great excitement' , exclaiming with
an oath to his employe. "Vat for
you gif mo away so for } " ' 'Don't ' hit
mo I Don't hit mo ! " said the man be
hind the table , "You must oxouso mo ,
Isaac , my foot was asleep. "
"What is the biggest winnings you
over know of ? " I naked of an experi
enced Now Yorker.
"I have hoard many fabulous sto
ries , " said ho , "but I will speak only
of what I know. I saw Bon Wood ,
former proprietor of The Daily News
one night at n 'Republican' game of
Faro , that is a game made up of gam-
blora. win 8125,000. Ho borrowed
82,500 from Judge McCann to begin
on , and ho wont away with every
pocket stuffed with checks and bills.
i'Jio cigar seller in the gambling rooms
told mo that Wood that night smoked
$70 worth of cigars. "
"That is impossible. "
"A fact , I assure you. Ho took
cigars costing ( about ono dollar each ,
and lighting one end , began in his
nervous way to cat the other , and in
about two nutuitcs ho would taku a
Fresh ono. "
Had Tom Ochiltreo { old thisatory
[ wouid have said so , for Tom tolls
some pyramidal yarns , tolling events
all of which ho saw , and a part of
which ho was , but a sedate lawyer ,
vho at the same time knows Now
York lifo , is my authority. Ono of
Ochiltroo'a stories' ' , that of the poker
slayer with a patent vest , may bo old ,
jut it is worth tolling. According toTem
Tom , this man cleaned out Texas ,
Deluding Tom himself and the late
Col. Jim Major , well known in Mis
souri. Ho boat every crack poker
player in the country , and the natives
were perplexed. Finally ho went
iway and Tom began to think over
Ins tricks. Ho made up his mind
that the man had an improved meth
od , and gutting in his track , followed
liim up and told him some Ochiltreo-
ans and won his confidence. Then
the poker player coufcssod that ho
were a patent vest , lined with delicate
mechanism and worked by wires load
ing to the toca ; that ho always exam
ined his hand on a level with thu
top of his vest and by dropping a poor
card into his sleeve , ho could work up
sno to suit the others from the paste
board arsenal ho had next to his shirt.
I'horo is a great tendency to swap
lieu at Saratoga , but no ono tries to
match Ochiltrce.
Hood's gambling house is kept open
nearly nit night. At 10 o'clock the
next morning his force , looking tired
and worn out , are pool-soiling and
book making at the race track ,
[ n going out to the race course ono
Bosses Koed's cottage. It is n choice
jit of architecture , and haa thu sur
roundings of a man of wealth and
iberality. Some well-dressed women
ire on the piazza at their needle
work. The general effect of the cot-
ago in its exterior is to impress ono
; hat its owner is a man of artistic
as to. A closer examination , however ,
shows that
"You limy daub and bedizen the man na
you will ,
But the BtAinp of the \ uljjar remain * on
him btill. "
In thu strained glass windows ho
im * enwronght in a fifteenth century
pattern , pictures of himself and dif
ferent members of his family , and
that alongside of the dying gladiator
ho has pictures of hia horses and
jockoyt. Buch an affront to good
taste Is nn advertisement of the man
whoso name and business would other
wise bo spoken at the springs in a
whisper , Heed is at the raco-courso
early , hat tipped back and cigar in
mouth. Ho dresses in a suit of Scotch
Kioy and has usually a fancy neck-tie ,
lie ia muscular and can if necessary
fight his own way with Moriissoy'u old
power. '
The spirit of gambling infests Sara
toga. Women as well as men bet at
the races , and when the former win
they are so delighted that they follow
the horau and jockey with loving
eves , but when they lose their money ,
they often also lose their temper. The
poorest exhibition of American
women to bo seen anywhere at the
watering-places in this country is
surely afforded at Saratoga. Old
women with hair as white ai enow ,
como to thu races bareheaded and in
low-cut dressta. Their attitudes
would bo vulgar and course in a pret
ty young actross. In aged grand
mothers they are nauseating. They
bet , tnlk the slang of the poker table
and race course , and speak of men by
their first namo. The girls in their
teens also bet , and ono hears in pass
ing n group of children on the streets
sophisticated discussions upon what
French pools pay , and how the odds
stand on the next day's races. A
nlno-year old boy in my hearing of
fered to match another drinks at a
soda-water fountain. Jictting in all
the rule. I'okcr parties are held late
at night in the guests' rooms. Men
aboUt town Rail through the lobbies
of the hotels with a queen of the
dcmi-mcndo on each arm , and money
kings hob-nob with knaves. The brtl
boy , black as the ace of spades , gam
bles with his fellow on the chance of
getting a tip from the next call. It
takes gold to shinu at Saratoga ; gold
for the wntcrn , gold for the wine , gold
for the waiter , when youdino everything -
thing yields to the magic touch of
monuv , but without it nothing is to
bo obtained. In short , at this gay resort -
sort there sec ns
"Nothing nobler , nothing higher
Tlun the iinajipcnftcd de ir < * ,
The qucnchlcis thirst for gold. "

Ntw York Herald.
Gun. Smith , the engineer in charge
of the excavations for the Hudson
river tunnel , has just tested the work
already completed. At the com *
moncomont of tno work , while the
tunnel was being excavated through
make ground , consisting largely of
cinders , it was found impossible to
maintain the required pressure , as the
air escaped through the looao material ,
but as the tunnel was advanced it was
thought that the closely-packed silt
would bo sufllciont to retain the air
and that thorp was no chance of its
escaping. This proved to bo so as
Ibng as the air was kept at a pressure
twpntyrsix pounds to the square inch.
With that pressure the moisture
oozed through in drops , and the
pumps were always able tq carry it
off. On Thursday afternodn Gen.
Smith determined to test the power
of rositanco of the brick work so that
the air pressure in the tunnel could bo
reduced , and the consequent fatigue
to the mon working in the compressed
air obviated as far as possible. The
mcii were ordered out of the works at
hall paatS p. nt. , and immediately the
engines wore slacked up and the pros-
suru of air reduced to twenty pounds
per Btuiaro inch. Almost as soon as
the high pressure was taken off the
silt began to squeeze in slowly between
the bncka at the head of the south
tunnel. The leakage of air increased
to a greater extent than the engineer
had calculated on , the overlying silt
being much more porous than that en
countered at the first part of the
works , and the water began to pour
in. As the air pressure was reduced
still further , the silt began to squeeze
through the interstices ot the now
briok work until it reached the hard
finished brick , where it stopped. The
silt that has squeezed in will have to
bo excavated , and this will cause some
delay. As soon as the effect ; of the
reduced pressure became apparent ,
Gen. Smith ordered the full pressure
of twenty-six pounds per square inch
to "bo put on again , and the leakage
was stopped at onco.
As taken from the heading , Ij ) . silt
is puddled with clear water pumped in
from a stand pipe in the shaft at the
mouth of the tunnel , and is then
forced out through a six.inch pipe by
the air-prcBsnro in the tunnel. As
the silt is removed from the headings
the iron plates are put in position.
The plates are a quarter of an inch
thick and two foot sis inches wide.
Some of them are six feet and some
three feet long , and each has a two
and a half inch flange all around it ,
through which it is bolted to the
plates on all four sides. Additional
strength is given by "breaking the
joints ' as the different sections are
bolted together. Inside this outer
shell is a wall of hard-burned brick ,
laid in cement. The wall , or linintr ,
ia two feet thick , and , extending com
pletely around the interior , presents the
formofanarchagaihstoutsidopresauro ,
cither vertical or lateral. The pros-
out How of silt will not delay work
moro than forty-eight hours.

The statement which haa boon cabled -
led that the Swiss are very much in
censed because the French have de
termined to build a new tunnel for a
railway to Italy , through Mr. Blanc ,
instead of through Mt.Simplon , is no
doubt true , but the fueling ia none
the leas un absurd ono. In the Mt.
Gums tunnel the French Imvu a very
fair Italian roadway , and no < nuw ono
would have boon thought of had it
not been for thu action of thu Gor
man government in putting a tunnel
through Mt. St. Gothard , 'thus short
ening by some distance the route
from thu English Channel to Milan ,
This has forcud the French into a
commercial struggle not of their own
Booking ; but , having entered the con
flict it would bu foolish on their
part not to spend their money in a
way which would bring to them the
host results. Mt. Siplon is quite u
distance beyond thu Fiench border ,
and a tunnel built there might bu
seized and used by nn enemy bofoio
the French were on hand to defend
their property. Since the annexation
of Savoy , Mt. IJIanc , on the contrary ,
haa boon wholly within French terri
tory , and althoui'h for economical
reasons , the line to connect with a
tunnel built there would pass through
the Swiss Canton of Geneva , the mil
lions of dollars laid out in boring thu
mountains could not bo utilized in the
service of an enemy , without the
French had been hopelessly beaten in
battle and driven many miles back
back from ther frontier.
