Hi at of rrc chltir.
In the heart of Lonlivlllo's gambling
quarter , on Jefferson street , betireon
Fourth and Fifth , Bays the Ootirler-
Journal , ono man has been seen daily for
years. Ho Is plainly , almost shabbily
dressed , nis face la pallid nnd careworn
always , and on it deep lines are graven ,
but not by the Gfty winter ! nhoto passIng -
Ing has left him In his primp. Ho wears
to board eave a stubby brown moustache ,
.nd his hair , hardly toochod with gray ,
'alia partly over a high for oh end , on
which anxious lines are ever resting.
The deep-sot , keen blue eyes nra the
most prominent fontnro of his fao , nnd
they burn nith a fire that is never
[ iicnchod.
The man is Rev. Stephen Holcombo.
IIo la the wcll-knonn reformed gambler
and city missionary. Ho is doing a work
which no other minister has attempted
and which no ono oho can do.
The story of his life is a strange ono
Ho was born In Shipplngsport August
25 , 1835 and from his cradle up was a
gambler. Ho docs not Oremembor the
thuo whan ho did not play cards , nnd at
12 ho loft homo to fight Ufa's battles un
attended and unwatched. Ho loft Ship-
ptngsportns n cabin boy on ono of the
magnificent steamboats that plied the
river In thoao days , for the next six yoara
followed that wayward , wandering llfo.
Then ho came homo and started n small
store in the Gsh and oyster buainosa on
Third etrcet , in partnership with hti
half-brother , William Srwdors. Ho waf
oven Ihon an experienced and darlnr
gambler , but ho did. not become a pro
feeslonnl until later on. Ho married
when only 20 ynars old a Mica Evans , o
Shlppingspott. She was a sincere Chris
tlnn , but the union did not , long hsvo i
restraining Influence upon him , thong ]
ho was always n.dovoted husband.
When the war broke out Holcomb
wont to Nashville to collect a debt owoi
him by some ono in the same line o
bnsinosa. Ho remained thera some titn
and Gnally opened a fish market , but h
did not keep at it long. Ho began play
Ing faro , and in a short time lost all h
had. From that time ho was a profee
slonal gambler aud followed that fever
lah existence for seventeen years. H
had no such thing as norvea and ha
trained eyes and fingero to Itghtnln
quickness and dexterity. He bocam
one of the most successful gamblers i
the south , ever which ho traveled fo
Ho was especially lucky at poker , bu
ho mat his match onotlmo.at Nashville
to which he had drifted with his pocket
stuiFed with winnings. Ono night ho sa
down to play with a chance acquaintance
anticipating hts customary luck. Instea
of that ho lost heavily , and finally over
cent passed into the pockets of hia no'
friend. Ho watched him until ho.dlacot
crcd the man had a "system , " and wa
e qual'y lucky In every game ha played
Bo won thousands of dollars In a eingl
week. Holcombo told him of his dlscov
errand , stating that they could work t
much advantage together , cskcd to b
made a partner. Hia propoeltion wa
scseptod , and they traveled ever th
eouth for a long time. The "system
proved Invaluable , and they won hcavll
at every place they visited. Both tnlgl :
have bcon rich thrco or four times ovc
had they taken any care of money. The
were Inveterate gamblers , aud what the
won at poker they lost at faro or tquai
dored in reckless wayc , aamon of thel
calling always do. EZaSC SflS CZ
At Shreveport the partnership came t
an abrapt termination. They playei
with their usual good fortune , and in
week won about § 20,000 , depleting th
pockets of every gambler in the place
Ono night Holcombo and his pirtnc
quarreled , and after a fight they aopara
rated never to meet again. The "system
which they used waa invented by an ol
gambler , Major Drake , who has Ion
been dead.
After that the Kentucklan travole
for a long time over the racing c'.rcui
in the south and cast. Ho went to llv
in New York , but after staying there
while came back dissatisfied. It wai
rcatlcsa period of his life , and ho seldot
remained in ono place longer than thre
or four weeks at n time. Ho was th
heaviest OB well aa the most EUecessf u
poker player In the couth , but ho novo
accumulated any great amount o
money.
"About § 5,000 or § 0,000 was aaniucl
ns I ever had at ono time , " ho saya
I never know Ita value , and throw it awa ;
as fast aa it came into my hands.
wouldn't stick to poker , but as soon a
I got flush I would go to playing fan
bank , aud this would terminate In mj
losing all I had. Faro Ima a wondeifu
fascination for most gamblers , and nc
matter how fair the gimo is the bank i
sure to win in the long run. The por-
centtgo of the doalor'o take-out I coulc
never learn , though 1 was ono so long
myeolf. It decreases with every deal
but In aomo unknown quantity whicl
gives the bank an unfailing ad
vantage.
"Tho stories of gambling and of gam
blers' wealth are nearly always exag
gerated , " ho continued. "I Imvo beer
very lucky at times , mid have inadi
heavy winnings , but $3,000 it as tnucl
as I over took in at ono Bitting. Yoi
often hoar of gamblers bolng worth § 100 ,
000 , when the ohancoa are that they hav <
not more than § 5,000 or $0,000. Thai
was as much as I ever owned. "
He finally abandoned the racing cir
cuit and came back to Louisville , when
ho dealt ono of the heaviest faro gamei
In the oily. Subsequently ho opened
two houses , Noa. 104 and 180 Fiftl
street. Ho owned some real estate a1
that tlmo , and ono day a Methodist mtn
later , llov. Gross Alexander , came tc
rent a cottage from him. During theii
arrangement of the matter the gamble ]
Incidentally mentioned his occupation
Mr. Alexander laid his band upon Hoi
combo's shoulder and said :
"If that Is the case , my brother , 1
hope this mooting will bo profitable it
more waya than one. "
The gambler received an Invitation tc
attend the preacher's meeting , and wai
converted. He joined the church , anc
from that day entered upon his lifework
Ho begin laboring among his old asao
oiates and the mltorable and degraded
wherever they could be found. His char
ity wai never appealed to in vain , and li
a f hort tlmo he aud his family were with
out a penny.
From that tlmo the itory of hia llf <
has been a hand-to-lund combat will
sin and poverty , The reformed gamble :
oonld got nothing to do here and went t <
Denver , whore ho fared almos1 as badly ,
Ho washed dishes in a restaurant anc
cooked for mining camps at § 1 50 , whei
ho could have had a thousand by golnj
back to his old companions. Then hi
returned to Lonlavillo , and for R | onj
time ho and his family were in actua
want of the neceisarlea of life. Whei
Ed Hughes wai elected chief of the fin
department Hohomba asked him for i
place , and he was the first man appoint
ed , an set of klndncrs which will never
bo forgotten.
The Iftbots of the reformed Rambler
among his old Miociates attracted the at
tention about font yean ago of HOT. J
0. MotrU , then pastor of the Walnut
Street church. Ho suggested to Mr. IIol-
combo that ho devote bis whole time to
mission work , and ho has done BO. A
mltslon room was first opened In the Tyler
lor block , and was so snccesaful that _ it
wai moved about two years ago to its
present position. The good It Is doing is
Incalculable , and Is familiar to nil.
Mr. Holcombo was llconicd ns a local
preacher four yeara ago. The mission Is
his llfo work , and ho says ho will quit It
under no consideration. Ho has the confidence
fidonco and respect of every gambler In
the city , and every now nnd then is snc-
coastul in lending ono to a bettor llfo.

Now Yoik Sun.
The last mail from Peru brought the
details of the contract entered Into by
the Peruvian government witli Mr. M.
Grace , of the firm of W. R. Greco & Oo.
'or the completion of the Oroya railroad
is extension to Corro do Pasco. The
Oroya road was contracted for with Mr.
Henry Molggs In I860. According to
the agreement a track was to bo laid
from Lima to Oroyn , a village 130 miles
norttnvctt of Lima , in the heart of the
Andes , and only a few miles from Ccri-o
do Pasco , which contains ouo of tbo rich
est deposits of silver In the world. Oerro
do Pasco Is 13,200 , feet abbvo the sea.
Mr. Meiggs began laying the tracks for
this road within n few months after the
signing of the contract with the govern
ment. It was in reality a government
entorprlso. Mr. Molggs was to receive -
ceivo § 27,000,000 for the work
from Callao to Oroya. When the
road was completed it was to belong to
the government. But the government
failed to carry out its part of the con
tract , and the work's stopped. The en
terprise was resumed when President
Pardo tot/k hold of the government , and
Mr. Mo'ggs Invested his Immense fortune
in It , and lost his investment when Pore
became unable to go on with tbo work ,
The state will continue to possess an
Interest In the enterprise. Mr. Gracs
has purchased the control of the entire
property , after a careful investigation ol
its resources and capacity. Ho becomes
possessor of the rcud through agreement
with the shareholders and with the gov
ernment , Bubject to certain conditions ,
which are Its completion to the Ccrro de
Pasco within baven ycais from the date
ot the contrict.
The Oroya railroad wna ono of the
meet difficult and costly engineering
works ever undertaken. In 105 miles
the ascent Is 11,000 feet. There are
sixty-throe tunnels already made , ouo ol
which , called La Gnlera , is 1,200 foot ic
length. There are also twcnty-elghl
bridges , the most important of which ,
the Rimac , has piers 250 feet high and a
total length of 525 feet. This is said t :
bo the highest bridge In the world ,
Through La Galera the rock was eo barf
that the cutting had to bo dona wltl
diamond drills.
Tao work already done on ( he railraac
has cost § 30,000,000. The countrj
through which it rans , BO far as it hat
been completed , is agricultural , and Iti
produce is sent down to Lima. It Is extremely
tromely fertile , but the methods of laboi
have been of an antiquated and wastefu
kind. With the introduction of Araeri
can agricultural machinery the wealth o :
this country wuold bo moro than doubled ,
It is said that there wa ) taken out of the
mines which are the objective point oi
the road moro than § 400,000,000 during
the 300 years of Spanish dominion.
While the majority of thoao mlnoa were
still In opetation , and long before any
traces of exhaustion wera discovered ,
they became flooded. The proprietors ,
lacking the facilities for proper drainage ,
moved and opened now mines. As soon
as the minoo Bra properly drained they
will again be capable of profitable pro
duction. Such la the opinion of the best
minors and engineers who have visited
the country for the purpose of surveying
the croporty. The road will carry the
mineral to the coast. In the past the sil
ver product was transported many miles ,
over dangerous precipices and across deep
ravlnee , at great expense and subject to
continual loss. The railroad and drainage -
ago will , it Is expected , open up
thoao properties anew , and provide
Peru with a great source of national
wealth. It will also bring the rubber
and other products ol the baoln of the
Anmon into the markets of Lima end
Oallao for export to the United States
and Enropo.
Mr. Grace's contract gives him pauses-
lon'of the road for ninety.nine 'years ,
and en exclusive privilcgo to construct a
road to the mines for twenty-live years
The road , it Is estimated , will not only
pay the operating expenses , but a hand
some profit on the part that Is already
constructed and in operation , and It Is
believed that In the hands of conserva
tive managers the proceeds of the road
will pay a Urge part of the cost of its
completion.
Mr. Grace Is a brother of Mayor Grace ,
and during the last term of tne mayor
was administrative head of the house of
Wm. R , Graca & Oo. Ho has spent the
greater part of his llfo In Pent , although
ho Is now an American citizen.

The manager of the Galesylllo roller
skating rink la a very enterprising man ,
and ho is constantly opekingto make his
rink attractive by adding to it now feat
ures. Ever slnco Ita opening , a year ago ,
ho has employed ft brass baud of thirty
pieces to inspirit the skaters and drown
the cries of the wounded. The band oc
cupied n ttago at the north end of the
rick , and was for a time a very popular
feature. Ou a recent Sunday the man
agei , who had accidentally attended a
Sunday morning service at St. Eliza
Jane's church , was greatly struck with
the beauty of the processional hymn aa
sung by fifty eurpllccd men and boy * ,
and it occurred to him that It would bu
an excellent plan to open hia rink every
morning irittrn procession on wheel * ,
headed by the brass band.
The musicians were not skaters , but at
the solicitation of the manager , combined
nlth on Increase of salary , they took
lessons In abating , and in a day or tire
were nblo to okato Hasonably well. On
Thursday last they skated around the
ink at the head of a procession of sov
mtyfivo skaters , playing ' 'Onward ,
Christian Soldlera , " mthCno effect the
seventy-five skaters singing with onthn-
ilaatn. The manager was delighted , and
auclod that a now orn of prosperity had
dawned upon himHo haseinco had
reason to change his opinion.
There happens to be a strong Lrnv
ihnrch olomout in Galosvlllo , The ele
ment attends St. Gooigo's church and
regards a surpllced choir as a Popish in
vention. Many of the Low church pa
trons of the rink were indignant at the
manager's Innovation and took stops to
abolish the procession , They had little
difficulty in making an arrangement with
two small boys , whoso great physical
endurance was almost dallv tested at the
public school , where the teacher taught
with a beany cane.Theboy a fortified them
selves with air cushions Ingeniously con
cealed under their clotnlng , aud on
Saturday lost they went to the rink at on
early hour.
The procession started at 10 o'clock
sharp , and had skated half way round
the rink when tno two small boys sud
denly skated at a rapid rate directly In
front of the band. The ensuing collision
heaped the band and the entire aoventy-
five choriatera , who were skating In close
order , on the devoted boys. Eleven In
struments , including the baaa drnmwere
utterly ruined. A cornet and a trom
bone were driven so far down the throats
of tholr rcspoctivo players that the ;
were extracted with difficulty , and
no leas than twenty-three member !
of the band , thirty-one chrrlsten
and ono email boy were Bovorcly Injured ,
The remaining email boy was killed outright -
right , six largo Germans having fallen or
him , and a subscription for a memorial
window to ba placed in honor of hit
heroic conduct in the cbanccl of St ,
George's has already been begun. The
triumph of the Low church element wai
complete , and the dismayed rink mana
gcr has registered a vow that ho wil
never again risk coming in contact will
now and dangerous ideas by attending
church. The moral of this story seemi
to be that rinks and religion are incom
patible.

QU AIjIPICATIONS FOB A MISSION.
A Model Dsttor of Application From

N. Y. Tribune.
WASHINGTON , Apr.l 13. Thorols quite
a largo clasi of Americans who for years
past have lived abroad but who upon the
advent of the now administration have
hurried ever In order to offer their ser
vices to the government. They all want
missions. I met ono of this class , vrho
had bcon permitted to cool hla heels in
the anteroom of the nhlto house tno
other day. Ho could scarcely conceal
his Indignation aa ho blurted out : "Hero
I have como ever from Europe especially
for the purpose of helping the govern
ment , and would you believe it ? no
more attention Is paid mo than if I had
always lived in Washington and just
stopped acrossitho street to ask for an
office. " This poor follow ought to have
token a lesson from the Koutucklan , who
to-day forwarded the following applica
tion to the president. Ita strange mix
ture of humor and bnalncs-liko determi
nation make it , I think , unlquo :

The Hon. Giover S. Cleveland , President.
DEAR SIR : I herewith apply for the ap
pointment of consul to Tahiti. Society Islands.
In making my application I prefer to forego
the usual method of seeking nn indorse
ment to my petition from Tom , Dick nnd
Harry : they come cheap and are , in my judg
ment , worthless , I do not even ask ono au-
rust senators nor our less sedate members of
the house to say n word in my behalf. I
could , I suppose , receive the signature of ev
ery official in the state , from governor down
to our county jailer , to my petition , but , as
before stated , such things are cheap , I base
my claims to your fnyorablo consideration of
my application to this consulntcship oa the
following grounds :
I am forty years of age ; entered the federal
army at the ago of sixteen , and was intrusted
by my superior officers with office from the
date of my enlistment , August 13 , 1801 ,
until the great leaders arranged the terms
of capitulation at Appomattox , at which
time , before I had attained my majority , I
was company commander. Atter the war I
fitted myself for life by learning thoroughly
two trade ? , that of a carpenter nud that of n
printer. I labored at the former until 1870 ,
when the bad health ot my wife compelled
me to take up the latter , which I did by es
tablishing hero and maintaining the only
second-class newspaper in the United States ,
n strictly Democratic sheet and fine advertis
ing medium. 1 beg to state for your Informa
tion that 1 am the hnppy father of eix
healthv , bright children , without blotch or
blemish , and am pleasantly situated and am
making moro money , perhaps , than the con
sulate would pay mo ; but I lia\p an ambi
tion , all thoroughbred Kcntuokinns do , to
sen o my country in office. My ambition in
that direction has not been satisfied with eix
years' service a3 city clerk. I confess I was
not an ardent supporter oi yours at Chicago ,
but I now eee my mistnko and recrgciza in
you all the elements of a who , discreet chief
mscnstrnto.
The fact of my being a carpenter nnd prin
ter , nnd likewise the lather of a Inrgo family
of children , may not in your opinion fit mo
for n contulalo to these South Pacific Is'nudp ' ,
but I beg to mfoim yeti , my dear sir , that nt
times when I needed recreation from the
duties cf editor , compositcr , pressman , re-
potter and mailing cloik in my office , I have
taken ciro to inform myself of the relations
existing between this great republic nnd the
islands o ! the tropical Pacific , and I have
como to the conclusion that I can , by an lion
cst ondeavcr , turn the mine ] of the reformed
cannibals still further from baked liranliao ,
fried Frenchman , souped Scotchman , ecol-
loped German , broiled American nnd ttowod
Uritiahian to our own delicious and mpro nu
trition hog and the cereals from which our
country suflers by orer-production , I nm of
opinion the dignity of my country and respect
for the stnr spangled banner would not suffer
If intiusted to my care In theeo beautiful , far
nway islands
EJI respectfully ask your favorable considera
tion of tins , my first , and it may be my Iret ,
appllcaticn for executive favor ,
Ilespectfully yours ,
