OLD DAYS 174 NEW ORLEANS.
"I'm getting to that "perloJ ot life , " said
lie the other day , , "when It's time for me to
devote < my attention to the welfare of the
children of my sisters. There's a full dozen
of them altogether , and all are fatherless

had the time or the Inclination to sit In
the * > IK games I used to travel miles to
participate In. I'm not making any prom
ises for mjself , but I have about concluded
that my last professional game was played
Hi New Orleans two years ago last month.
My nephews look to nle as to their father.
I am proud of It. Jf I do my best for them
and steer them Into modern business pur
suits , I cannot keep up the skill It takes
to pliy a successful game with big stakes.
Then , too , gam'ollng'has ' fallen In'to'sueli 111

jears they might fear that I might disgrace
them by accepting their hospitality.
"How did I b'Kome'a gambler ? I drifted
into It as naturally as the etereotyped--duck
ge' < j In'o ' water. I was a bellboy In the
famous old St. Charles hotel In New Orleans
ta 1853 and 1854. I raw the Idols of the
esuth , the , high and might- men Jn the state
and nation , playing pok r and faro there. I
lioird my father , and mother at home extol j
those same' men , and It was natural' ' that a
boy's ambltlccv should have beno Inspired
to sit an& play for etakes the way they did. [
Gambling was a common avocation of men
nnd women of moina in the south , espsclally
In New Orleans , to a degree which northern
people" of these da > s oan hardly conceive. I
JsBcw how to play a sagacious game of poker
before I was 20 years old. I won $1,000
clean money at poker the year I reached
18 , and you can easily Imagine how little
use a youth who could make monsy llko
tbat would have for bard work at small
wagca. Among the early poker players I
remember having seen at the St. Charles
when I carried fancy drinks to the party
were etich men ail Judah P. Benjamin , 'then
United States senator and afterward secretary
of date In the confederacy : L. Q. C. Lamar.
who died a justice of the United States supreme
premo court : Sergeant S."Prcntlss , the moat
wonterful of all southern orators , and. even
fc'.uff old Sam Houatcn of Texas. I have
* nte-od beh'efl the chair of Senator William. L.
Yancey a dozen tlme In my bojbood , with
a glasa of whtaky on a tray , waiting until a
hacd at poker had been played and the Idol
of Alabama was ready for hla retreshment.
Is It any wonder 1 became a gambler and
Icaraod no other pursuit for a livelihood ?
GAMES WITH NOTABLES.
"Like all the young men of Now Orleans
> who gambled professionally , I went on the
boata on the Mississippi river. I was there
until the war broke out In 1SG1. Then I
ecrvcd two years In the confederate army.
Atter the war was over I went to St. Louis
end opened a private $3,000 gambling place
In tbo Southern Hotel building. Then I
went back to New Orleans. I was In Vlr-
Blnla City In tha early ' 70s , and went from
there to Chicago , then to Denver , then to
. Leadvllle and then to San .Francisco. I have
played poker with all the famous players of
America and faro with the Frenchmen In
Paris. I played two months In the summer
of 1STC at John Morrtascy's place at Sara
toga. and I came in contact with some men
In New York and Philadelphia who re
powers In tbo political and the al
world. I once had a friendly game of poker
with the Russian Grand Duke Alexis In t.
Louis. General Phil Sheridan , whom I
knew somewhat in Denver , told the duke
about me. and I was surprised ono day to
cei a message asking me to call upon the
dute. beef
"Vy to 1SSS I had the ups and downs ofI
the general run of men ot my profession. I
was sitting at the funeral of a gambler who
bad been rich and died poor one day In al
las. Tex. I looked about me and saw a lot
of bristlier and quicker men than I. They
liad been well off once and were then all
broke from gambling. The thought flashed
over mo that I was getting like them and
would bo useless and broke before I knew It.
I determined that samolhour never to depart
from an Iron-clad rule to have a limit for
toettinz and losing and to ealt down one-
fifth of my earnings , no matter what the
inducement to Increase the wagers. From
( hat lime I kept my resolution , and I began
to accumulate property. I helped Senator
Tabor ot Denver once la delicate business
affair , and he gove. me a tip on mining stock
that haa earned many thousand dollars for
me. I have not smoked or drank In twenty-
live years. I have been trying to get all
the sleep I can for twenty years , and tbat
lias kept roe in prime condition , while nearly
II ot my. early comrade * about the green
table have gone to their graves.
"Tho greatest gambling town now in the
United States is New Orleans , but It is not
what It was ten years ago even. It cotton
ever cqmeq up ( again , there may be the 'old- >
time * scenes in cords there. St. Louis is a
fairly good town for gambling. Sau Fran
cisco used to be , but DOW horeo racing and
prize flghts there have taken the minds and
cash ot the sporU. Denver used to be i
wonderful town for big games. There was
a club of sllycr miners there that used coni'
monly to have gamea In which 12.000 and
$3.000 were at stake. I have known $7.0X , (
and $3.000 to be In a Jack pot there on ser
era ! occasions. But the dropping out ot the
bottom ot the silver business haa ruined
garabllng for heavy stakes In Denver. The
tin horn fellow R are as common M ever |
there and In Cripple Creek. I haven't known
much about gambling In New York for half I
ft dozen i yoara. it used to bo a great poker
to < , but faro never was as popular there t
8 In New Orleans and Chicago. I once ,
played with two other professionals In the
Delavan bouse lnAlbany _ for a week or two ,
whan the legislature waa In cccilon and
Senator Warner Miller wanted to bo re-
elected. "
THE UEST GAMBLERS.
"Who are the besl gamblers ? "
"The Chinese. Then the Yankees. The
Hncllsh are the most absurd eamblers and
they think they are wonderfully adroit. A
smart Chinaman will learn more of the art
of poker playing In an hour than an intelli
gent American can learn in days. The Chi
nese are natural born bluffers and readers of
human nature. I never tire of watching a
Chinaman play poker against several Ameri
cans , even if It Is a cheap game. If you
ever wish to see something really humorous
alt and study a Chinaman who Is risking his
good. bard-earnod.jcash In a Jack pot with
some Americans. You will see the most
etolld and indlfforont face on a human be
ing , who , 110 'doubt , secretly burns with
anxiety and excitement. You will see a face
and eyce that I 'doty any one to read , oven In
the most exciting momenta of the game. A
Chlnamau gives a sharp , lightning glance
at the corners of the cards. Then he puts
bU whole attention on the faces of his ad
versaries , wbllo he assumes an expression
of bland childishness. A discharge ot ar
tillery under his chair would not fcaze him
In a poker game. I confess that I have had
three of a kind bluffed out by a Chinaman
with a pair of dueces or trays several times
in my life. I once sat in a game in Cheyenne
with two rich Chinamen and two rich cattle
men in Wyomlnc , and I saw one of those
Chinamen lose his whole year's earnings ,
about $6,000 , with not so much as a wink.
"The Englishmen are easy game for pro
fessional American gamblers. They take so
much for granted. The English cattlemen
In Texas and through the territories have
spent sums running altogether away up In
the millions trying to cope with the Ameri
cano in poker. The fraternity abounds in
stories of the Innocence of Englishmen at
poker. One of the best I ever heard was.
told by Tom Ochlltree. Some years ago an
Englishman and a Texan were going by
steamer from Now Orleans to New York.
The days were long and both men wanted
to kill .time. The Englishman proposed a
Eamo of cut-throat euchre. The Texan ac
quiesced. The men played some time , when
the Englishman suddenly exclaimed :
" 'Dou't you know , my boy , I've a deuced
fine poker hand. '
" 'Do vou know our American poker ? In
quired the Texan.
" 'Know it through and through. It s a
bloomln * great game. '
A BLOOMING SNAP.
i
" 'Well , I have a neat little poker hand
here , too , It I could discard a card and get
a jack , ' replied the Texan.- !
"The Englishman drew down his face anj
smothered a chuckle as he proposed to bet
the hands after lhc ! change had been made
In the Texan's had. The betting began.
I First the Englishman raised and then the
Texan raised. The Englishman bit his lips )
and tried to look serious as the Texan i
added his diamoid studs nnd his gold watch i
and chain to the pile. of his wager.
" 'Wihy , my boy , you're making a blcomin'
idiot of yourself , ' said the Englishman as hemet
met the bet arcd planked down his elegant
Jewelry.
"Tho turn was called.
" 'Now , see here , my boy , how foolish you
! are. I've four queens , don't you know.'i )
said the Englishman. I
"That's good , but I've four kings , ' sald.l
the Texan.
" 'Four kings , four kinfjs , ' mused the be
wildered Englishman. Then efter ho had
studied i'he proposition anJ watched the1
Toxan-j-rake In a heap of money and valuable - '
able * , . -he exclaimed , 'Butmy boy , can you'
tell me wihy you wanted that infernal I1
Jack ? ' '
"No , I hove never had much experience
in playing poker with women. I am firm In
an opinion , Ijowever , from what experience'
I liRve had and from what I can learn from
professionals wlho have played much with
women , that women are naturally better'
gamblers than men. Women are not suob
bold , plunging players as mea are , but they
'are apt'at dissimulation. I know a great
many professionals who will , not gamble
at poker with women. A woman who has
been thrownon her own- resources knows
'how to trltk 'a man's vanity , 'when to catch
him 'off- his guard , and bow to play upon
him bettor than the average man does. I
could no more bluff a woman In poker than
I could take wings and fly. T have been
used to quick , hard , concentrated thinking
In poker games for a long time , but I can't
think fast enoilcfi1 to follow a woman In
playing poker. Th'e richest professional
Ramblers. , arcs women. .There Is Senora Al-
marez ot the City ot Mexico. She pays
taxes on $400.000 worth of property. She
may be seen * gambllng'at her bouse in the
City of Mexico almost aay day In the year.
Their there was Amy Cantine , the famous
woman samhjer ot Virginia City twenty-five
years agq. She made more money from
faro than some into djd from rich ledges of
gold-bearing quartz.
GAMBI3ING JN * VIRGINIA CITY.
"The olggest gambling I ever saw was In
Virginia City. . NetfT 'at the ' 'time the Bo
nanza ledger on trie Comstock were being
developed. TJhat was along in 1872 and 1S73.
There are a multitude- gamblers nowadays
who are Incredulous of the truthful stories
of the games played every night In the w < Jak
for about , a ybar froin June. 1$72. to July ,
1873. I confess that I sometimes wonder
whether I was really a participant in Uiose
goldan Hays in Raining , of whether I have
dreamed all ( hat I recollect about them.
\Vhem I was In England a few years ago I
heard of some big games in Australia along
In the GO's , but uoao" compared with those
e had In Virginia City.-
"
"You remember that for months the out
put of gold from seven mines on the Com
stock yielded together $50,000 clear profit
every day. John W. Mackay. James G.
Fair and James Flood became multi-million-
*
alrea in fourteen months , while Sharco
Hobart , Ralston , Cobb. O'Brien and a dozen '
oilier men leaped from poverty to millions
in the same time. Common laborers and
camp cooks of a few years before had In-
ocines from mining Btocks.-of $150 and $300
a day for two years. Lot * of mining labor-
era who-could not re d or write had bank
deposits in Virginia. City in those woadertui
days f $10,000 and IIC.'OOO ; I toave seen
hundreds of men laclean .rod shirts and
grimy overallshaul'otit a .huckaklnbag ; of
$2,000 or so with 'no"'SBore ( heed-to IU value
than -when ono produces. $2 nowadays. 80 you
see what an extraordinary there1 was la
the town for gambling.I never saw gam
bling co common and so open /a * in Virginia
City. There wer . forty .w fifty gambling
games running there day and night. Poker
was too eow andcoqulred too much thought
for move of the suddenly rich men. Roulette
and faro were moat popular.
PALACES OF CHANCE.
"The most superbly appointed gambling
place I have over seen outside ot France
and AuetrU , waa there. It was not so large
as Morrlssey's at Saratoga , or an Lynch' * tn
New Orleans , but it must have cost thou
sand * of dollars more tban either ot these.
It was owned by' Hiram Gentry and Dan le.E. .
Crittenden. They were both men ot
I lion and tfcey planned to establish a Monte
j Carlo there. Crittenden wta neph w of
United State * Senator Crittenden of Ken-
I tucky. They were backed by Senators
. Sharon and Nye , William C. IUI ton and
one or two other millionaires. They add
I credit at tba California bank In San Fran- l
Cisco for $800,000. For about a year their
daily depctlta-ayeraged $ S,000. Tfcft building
waa frame like all others m Virginia City
Down stairs tHere Were four large rooms
and upstairs tbero were three. One room
wa especially devoted to Nevada and Call
fornla state officials , creators and congress
men. Another room waa for miners am
cattlemen. Still another and larger room
was a general gambling room for men o
email stakes , who played to a $50 limit every
*
night. Theretwere , poker , rpulette and faro
rooms , and connecting vWlth all these was a i
most elaborate barroom. The tables. , am
'chain were of'mahogaoyrihe carpets were
the finest that money could bay in New
York. 1 have seen cowboy * and miners In
- great , rough , muddy booU , with pistol *
ping at their hips and spur * at their heel *
come aUlklB * ajcroM 4vtt oarpcta tfcer *
that < cost $10 a yard In these
days , and throw tliplr feet on
poliflhed tablca worth $100 each. The
windows were of the Bneat French statacd
glass , and represented Bacchanalian and
Reman scenes. The bar .was of solid onyx ,
and the floor of Ttallaa colored marble. The
lamps were solid sliver set oft by gold. ( Mir
rors of heavy 'plate glass reached from floor
to celling , and. were held in place by hooks
of solid silver. There were goblets of solid
silver , and delicate drinking vessels of glass
and gold. The pyramid of cut glass de
. canters and bottles at the back ot the
bar cost $1,000 in Paris. Then the cx-
penalvo manner ot running the houpe was
piobably never equaled. In the exclusive
poker rooms bottles of champagne were
opened at the expense of Gentry & Crit
tenden whenever a Jack pot was opened. I
have seen a dozen bottles of clmmpugno
that cost In that mining town $6 a bottle
served free to an assemblage because some
one told a new funny story or because a new
rich vein had beco struck down at the mines.
The house used to .reserve $3,500 a month
from Its proflts for the entertainment of .
Its guests. On the occasion of the visit of
the duke of Sutherland to Virginia City tie
bonanza flrm of Mackay , Fair , FlooJ and
O'Brien must have paid for COO bottles ot
champagne drunk and poured on the car
pets In one day and night at Gentry & Crlt-
UnJen's house.
CH3P3.
"I have sat In games of poker In the
house many a tlino when the cheapest chip i i
was $20. I once played for a few hours '
when the chips ragged from $50 upward , but
It-was too big for mo to play my beat. 1
was so nervous that I could not judge my
opponents as I should. Several times I
saw poker games There that lasted , all night ,
where the chips ranged from $70 to $200
each. But It would be too severe a strain
on me to play Ion ? at such a game. Per
haps twenty or thirty times I have knomn
me > 3 to get up from an all-night poker game
with $20,000 winnings. Winnings of $10-
000 In a night or an afternoon were not un
common' ' at Gentry & Crlttenden's. Once I
heard of a gambler named Jack Sllverwood ,
from Detroit , Mich. , who went awuy from
Virginia City with about $50,000 that ho
had won In two weeks. I believe he quit
gambling and went Into the wholesale
tobacco business In Detroit on his capital.
He was a very sensible mac. The chances
are fifty to one ho woulJ have gone broke
If h ? had plaed there a month longer.
"The biggest game I ever eaw was at Gen
try & Crittenden's in the summer ot 1S72.
Lucky Baldwin , now of San Francisco , Henry
M. Vance , who made a fortune with Melga | i
tn the Andean railroad ; Stnitor Bill Sharon |

of small moans who does Ig sure to go broke. ,
Well , the game began at about 7 o'clock one I '
evening. The chips were from $100 upward , i
It lasted until 3 In the morning. There were
Jack pots started ut SOJO and $1,000. If the
real went around the table once there would i
be $2,000 and perua s $3,000 In the pot. f .

first crop bulletin for the season was Issued
today from the government weather bureau
hero , 'covering ' crop conditions In-South
Dakota. Director Glenn says the amount
of ! precipitation during the winter was be
low the normal , and most of the time the
ground over most of the Rtate was bare , so
that when the frost was out sufficiently for
seeding there wai no w stc or untlllable
land due to melting snow anJ excess ot
moisture.
During March the precipitation was re
ported < sutllclent In most counties , the soil
amply i moist , in excellent condition , nml
tillable generally when free from front.
Mild weather during the first nnd second de
cades removed the frost In soutlipmtorn

\\euther , und was not resumed to any
extent until April 1. At the close of March ,
however , other conditions were fuvoralilo
for general feeding to promptly begin When
temperature conditions wou'.d justify. Some

gun spring wvient seeding ns early ns the
Stfr of Mnrch , consequently , by the 21st some
farmers hud their work well advanced.
Uurlnc tbe first decade of April winds und
only ! light precipitation reduced neil moist

Physicians Who Treat Women
Often Lack Discernment.
THEY DO NOT GRASP THE
DEPTH OF THE SUBJECT.
Wo oflen read of women who * patronize
the physician for a so-called slight ailment
and seem to bexilways sick and yet are able
to bo round. Out at length these women
abandon the phyalclan and lake up with one
or inpre ot Uio numerous battled remedies
co widely advertised. The real truth of the
matter la that the physician doea not divine
the true state of affairs nor la the bottled
remedy ot ttio gligbUet aid. AVben a woman
suffers with leucorrhoea or wcuib displace'
roent or painful monthly elckntfs she goes
to the doctor la the hope tbat she will get
a medicine tbat will help her. And she al
most Invariably falls. She takes up with the
stomach dopes of commerce with tbe eame
hopeful feeling. And bore too ehe falls. The
whole plan of treating women by such
means la radically wrong and all women
who suffer realize that such Is a fact , There
IB only one method wtiereby w oraan may cure
henielf of tbe dtotrceslng condition known as
female troubles and that Is by local appli
cation. Tbero Is a remedy recently Introduced
that has worked wouders In curing all forms
of womb troubles.
It la called Hazellne , put up In the form of
a suppository whlcli Is applied directly to
