[ Correspond ence of tlio BBI : . " | I'lio boom whlcli lias struck otlior purts of Nebraska luis reached Albion. Last week our citizens resolved to establish n board of trade , nnd In one hour's time the entire capital stock of ? 2,000 was subscribed. At least double that amount could easily have been obtained , If it wore thought desir able to Increase the capital stock. On last Friday evening the subscribers met In the court room and organized by elect ing the following public spirited men as officers : M. 1) . Thompson , president ; Loran Clark , vice-president ; F. II. Smith , secretary and J. A. Price , treasurer. Ar ticles of Incorporation have already been filed , and the board of trade of Albion is now in working order. A meeting has been called for the purpose of organiz ing a building and loan association , and from the known energy oi the parties engaged in the effort , there is no doubt of its success. Its object will bo to aid those desiring to sccuro homes for themselves , at a low rate of interest and on long time. The proprietors the Al bion house have completed arrangements to build an addition to their hotel , which will double its present capacity. The improvements are to be completed by the middle of the month of May , when Albion will htive a hotel equal to any village of its size in the state , both in its accommo dations and bill of faro. Albion has al ways had good hotel accommodations , cs is attested by traveling men ever endeav oring to reach our village when they have to remain over Sunday. The probabili ties are that our other hotels will have to enlarge their buildings so as to meet the requirements of the traveling nubile. Our waterworks , which were built late last season , have been thoroughly over hauled , and are now in perfect working order. Water pipes have been laid in all of our principal streets , nnd our citizens nro availing themselves of the opportu nity to introduce pure and wholesome water in their residences. The reservoir is placed on ground high enough to give A pressure that will throw a two inch stream over the ilag stall'of our three- story elevator , thus giving us ample means , in cose of lire , to throw two or more streams on the roofs of our highest buildings. Our largo and commo dious $10,000 brick school house is n source of pride to all Albonltcs. It has a corps ot teachers second to none in the state. All four of the large school rooms arc well tilled with pupils , and it now looks as if the school district will hate to build an addition equal to the present building to accommodate our in creasing school population. One school house waa so planned and built that an other building equal in size can bo added without destroying the symmetry and and architectural beauty of the present building. The Omaha , Niobrara & Hlack Hills railroad company has surveyed and graded a roadbed noith of Albion for about ten miles , and it Is expected that work will be commenced continuing the survey , as soon as the weather will per mit. The Fremont , Elk horn & Missouri Valley railroad company has its road bed all graded on the Albion line from Scrib- ner-to this place , and is now rapidly putting In bridges and culverts. The of- iicers of this road say that they will have the road in running order by May 1 , next , and that wo may rely on trams running to Albion by the 15th of May , pro * . The same company have graded , and now are at work on the name a spur road from Albion to Oak- dale , which will bo completed and trains running by the first of June. This is an Im portant railroad for our village , as it gives us direct communication with the Black Hills country. Albion is a splen did business center , surrounded by a country the soil of which is equal to any in thermite , and is settled by as intelligent , robust and thrifty farmers as the world ever saw. Wo have some seventy busi ness houses , three banks , four hotels , four churches , two elevators , and doc tors and lawyers in abundance. Our doctors , however , have a struggle for ex istence , as they say this is a "horrid houlthy country. " Our streets daily pre sent a lively appearance and teams are hitched to every available post , while the tails in our four livery stables are crowded beyond their capacity. There has been no effort on the part of our clti- Ecns to induce immigration , nnd our growth from a couple of hundred of in habitants five years ago to n population now of about 1,600 is the result of our favorable locality and the splendid qual ity of our soli. We can but add a cor dial invitation to any and all persons seeking n home in Nebraska to come and aoo us. We will treat you kindly and show you a soil that is the garden spot ol Nebraska. OLIO. CrelRhtcm'a CJood Showing. CrtEiaiiTOH , Neb. , March 18. [ Corre spondence of the BEE. ] Creighton has organized a board of trade. All of the business men taking a lively interest "in the growth of the town and surround Ing country have joined the organization to build up the town and settle up the country by a system of advertising. All must admit that printer's Ink has done more to settle up and improve the great west than railroads or any other enter prise. The country weekly papers , with the great metropolitan dailies , have ac compllshod n great work for this new country in n few short years by their sys tern of free advertising , and for their la bors should receive the hearty support o : their communities. Creightou is situate ! on a beautiful elevation and surrounded byarioli farming and stock raising coun try. It has a population of about 1,001 and was named after Mr. Creighton , of Omaha. It was located by a colony from Omaha , consisting of about ten families , Joseph A. lirueo , a former resident ot Omaha being president of the colony. In 1871 this little band started north to find n location for a town whicl would some day bo their pride. At present ont the town is the terminus of a branch of the Fremont , Elkhorn & Missouri Val ley railroad , being forty-two miles from Norfolk , and ten hours' ride fron Omaha. This is one of the best stock countries in the west. Over TOO cattle and 1,500 hogs have boon fed for market bore the present winter. This is also one of the best horse markets in the state over 600 horses having been sold from ( his place during lnot year. We have over 70,000 acres of state school lands in the county for sale on reasonable terra ! at 0 per cent interest and twenty years time for payment We also have 200,000 acres of vacant lands owned by eastern parties. Creighton lias one. of the bes aarketa In Northern Nebraska , having hipped 643 cars of freight and receivoi § W can , being more than any town nortti f Fremont , except Norfolk and Chad ron , during the past year , and .has pad better prices for all kinds of pro tfuca and stock , drawing trade from a distance of forty miles The town 11 Incorporated and has a fine public tohool building , which cost , | 4,000 i * church buildings , namely , Congregational tional , Methodiit , Baptist , Episcopal Catholic , German Lutheran , besides an organization of German Methodist ? . Of ho civic societies wo have a lodga of tlnions , Odd Fcllows.Knlghts of Pythias , } . A. K. and A. O. U. W. , nil having a argo membership. Crelghlon's business a represented by three bankt , six gen eral merchandise stores , four groceries , lirco drng stores , two hardware stores , .wo furniture stores , four livery stables , joshlcs throe of the liveliest newspapers n the state.Vo \ have n llotiring mill , n argo elevator , nnd two warehouses , .hree lumber yards , three coal yards , an opera house. Masonic hall and G. A. H. 1iall. The Knox county agricultural so ciety is permanently located hero nnd owns forty acre ? , on which are located nil of their buildings valued at 1-1,000. iV'c can od'er inducements to those wani ng a location , and expect a largo immi gration to this section of country this season. I ) . lied Cloud Joins the Itusli. RED Cu > u , Neb. , March 18. [ Corre spondence of the UEE. ] Red Cloud , the gate city of the valley , as spring approaches preaches , is catching the inspiration of .lie boom that Is sweeping over Nebraska , and all the branches of business indicate .hat the present season will show greater prosperity and improvement than arjy irevlous one. Numerous brick buildings ire being planned and the boom can lardly wait till spring opens. Private residences are being erected in ail parts of the city. The now county clerk's oflico will soon bo completed and our county ofllcors will again enjoy sufficient room n which to transact the business of the county. It seems difficult to keep pace with the rapidly increasing business. A 10,600 jail will adorn the north side of the court yard before tlio leaves fall again. All arrangements have been completed by which we will get a tine iron bridge over the Republican. Red Cloud is rap idly becoming a point of centralization from which business interests are operated ; o the west , northwest and southwest. Some of our merchants have at present branches nt other points , and this spring Mr. Charles Weiner , of the Gol- Ion Eagle clothing store , estab lished two branches in his lino. The increasing demand for George Lind say's meats has caused him to make ar rangements to greatly improve Ins facili ties for handling the porker and the ox , and his business bids fair to at least thrib- blo that of last year. Another pork- packing establishment is on the tapis and and possibly in a few days wo will bo able to announce its immediate erectipn. There arc parties investigating the city with a view to locating a $100,000 twine factory. There nro also a | fcw otiier manufacturing interests that will possi bly locate hero in the next few months. This is as it should bo. Wo have as good water as can be found anywhere ; natural drainage of the best and exceed ingly healthful and beautiful location. Real estate has already begun to change hands. From $2,500 to $3,000 was ref us > ed for business lots on East Webster street yesterday. A new addition called Hol land Place Is being platted and will bo on the market in about two weeks. This is a beautiful tract of twenty-five acres , situated in the west part of the city south of Fourth avenue , and most admir ably adapted to either business or rosi- donee purposes and will soil rapidly as soon as put on sale. Annelmo Thriving. ANSELMO , Neb. , March 18. [ Corre spondence of the BKE. ] Ansolmo is the present terminus of the Grand Island & Wyoming Central railroad , although the track is laid some thirty miles west of here. It is located twenty-two miles west of Broken Bow , in the famous Vic toria valley , and surrounded by a fertile country , which only four months ago was but partially settled , Since the ad vent of the B. & M. railroad the town has assumed the appearance of a thriving little city , while the surrounding coun try has been thickly settled. Although our town was begun at the commence ment of one of the coldest winters wo have had for a number of years back , by thrift nnd enterprise finds us with forty good business houses. As only three or four dwelling houses have boon erected , this summer will witness the building of hundreds of thorn. Already preparations nro being made for the erection of quite a number. Business of all kinds is well represented , but as there are always good opportunities to buy from those desiring to go further west , parties looking for a business location will do well to come and bok over the field or correspond spend ' with Dorr Hollleman , esq. , who will answer all inquiries. There still remains some good govern ment land within a radius of ten miles west of the town that will beat renting land in Iowa all to pieces. We have three general stores , one exclusive grocery store , two banks , two hotels , three restaurants , two blacksmith shops , two weekly newspapers , three livery burns , two hardware stores , furniture store , two drug stores , two coal and lumber yards , two meat markets , two billiard parlors , largo elevator , stock yards , etc. The railroad material yard is also located here , giving employment to fifty men. Every tram brings in many parties- some to locate on land previously taken , while others como to seek Investment. The town enjoys a good , healthy trade , as well it might , for it has a largo and rich territory to draw from. The county will no doubt bo divided into four now counties at < this fall's election , when An sol mo will bo made the county seat for this quarter of the county. The citizens are a law-abiding class , intelligent and active in tho'iu- terests of the town and county. A delightful drive of six miles east of Anselmu brings the visitor to the famous Victoria Springs , at Now Helena , owned by Judge 0. U. Matthews. Those springs have already become famous for their medical properties , and at no distant day they will bo Nebraska's favorite summer resort. Capitalists seeking in vestment would do well to investigate these springs. There are throe of them and the volume of water from each is Biitllcient to afford excellent water power for n good sued mill. Bdautiful building spots surround them , and to anyone who would erect suitable bath houses much more money could bo made in this way than half n ttoien mills. The great Northwestern survey is within 100 yards , and th ! . < road will no doubt be built this summer. The B. & M , railroad , as already stated , is also within six miles of those beautiful springs , thus affording ample facilities for invalids and others to take advantage of the bathing houses that undoubtedly will be erected in the upar future by some enterprising indi vidual. Falrfleld in the Swim. * AIKPIEU > , Neb. , March 18. - [ Correspondence spondence of the BEE. ] The rip-roaring boom which is fast becoming rampant al over the state of Nebraska has struck Fairfield "kerplunk. " The completion of the Kansas City & Omaha railroad to Sutton , the building of the new lines ol the Kansas City & Omaha from Fairfielc west and south , the erection of the hand some and commodious Christian college the prospective location of the Episcopal college ; the now round house ot the Kansas City & Omaha , and the cer tainty of machine shops this summer , has attracted the attention of outsiders to the growing importance of Falrfield , and hence the Boom , with a biar B. Res idences are springing up on all sides. Among the other improvement * this sum mer will be a $20,000 brick hotel and sev eral briok business blocks. Business lota and residence property are in great do- nnnd , nnd the real estate dealers are nisy and happy. The citizens of Fair * leld take especial pride in the character if her oeople , many of the new coiners > elng attracted by the educational facil- tics and the moral tone of the commun- ty. There has not been a saloon in the : own for four years and not ono of the drug stores sell a drop of liquor for any mrposo , the only recourse being the pri vate jug or the imported case of beer , A dispenser ot "Christian science" has jccn in town tlio post two WCOKS , raking the shekels of the superstitious and crcd- ilous at the rule of about $ 10 a day. No Ornln Combinations. OAKLAND , Nob. , March 10. The Far mers' union of this place has been pay ing 3 cents more for oats , r.ml 1 cent more per bushel for corn than our other grain dealers. In the near futiuo t will bo impossible for the com- jinalions in this part of tlio countv to HI bsi sU The union expects to make Oak land the best market for grain and to down the monopolist. LYNCHING AT L.AB . ANIMA8. flow the Murder ofOld Tom Jennings WAS Avenged. A Santa Fe , N. M. , correspondent writes : "There is no use a-gassln' , boys , [ hero's feolin' ' comiu' a agin lynchiu' up .n . this hero territory , an' I've done moro's any other man to help it along. " The speaker , James Horn , late cowboy , and now manager of a cattle ranch on .he Auimas river , in Rio Arriba county , looked around the room with conscious dignity , as his six or eight cowboy friends laughed derisively at his complacent re mark. Mr. Horn is long drawn out , both ns to limbs and conversation , and for omc occult cowboy reason is universally called ' 'Buckhorn"regardless oi his bap tismal designation , which everybody says doesn't fit his patronymic any liow. liow.Tho The boys laughedbecause they remem bered that when Buckhorn was a com- mom everyday cowboy just two weeks ago he bore the reputation of being a Imrd rider , a still harder drinker , and a straight and sudden shooter. Indeed , he is the one man who ever got the drop on the late Billy the Kid and lived to tell about it. "Billy was travelling on his shape. " Buckhorn was wont to remark in com menting upon the incident , "an * really didn't seem to think it wuth while to burry hissclf in pullin' his gun on me. When I kivered him he caved Billy knew lots an' I pulled his teeth afore I let him go. If Pat Garrett hadn't filled liim full o' lead the next week , down in Lincoln , I might a' been No. 26 on Billy's dead list. " ' Come , Buckhorn , I s'poso you wil want to tell us you're a law-abidin' citi zen , " derisively remarked Pete , other wise Nubbins Carhart. Nubbins had been Buckhorn's rival for promotion to the managership , however , and he was notoriously riously jealous. So the lorvJor of the anti-lynching movement looked straight into the lire until the silence was broken by "Grovcr Cleveland , " as cowboy Pete Marshall Is invariably called. Mr. Mar shall used to bo deputy sheriff of Lincoln county , and became president of a cow boy debating society. ' Come , Buckhorn , " ho said , after a long delay , "tell us how you fought agin' lynchin' . " "Well , " began the old man , "a few weeks ago 1 was down to the Animas river ranche , and found the boys wore frottin' 'cause old Tom Jennings had been killed , and they wasn't quite sure who did it. You see they hadn't had any fun for a fortuit' , an * it riled 'em likn to be cheated oul'n a lynchin' . You know that little settlement on the Animas ain't very big wliou. the census taker sizes it up , but it's as big as all creation when the boys want it to bo. When I got there they told mo that they had heerd a couple o' shots from Old Tom's doby two nights afore , an' had trotted over to see if thar wuz a light on. But Mess Tom an' a low lived cuss named Canton , who was said to bo jest a lectio too particularly perlito to the woman , appeared , an' salt ! as how Canton had lire a twice at a coyote an' missed it. The hoys never did like Can ton , so they as'tod him why ho hadn't run out and ketchcd the critter. As they was ridin' away the perfessor you know that Now Yorker who learned a little bit at college an' came out hero an' learned lots well , he up an1 swore ho had heard a groan in Jennings' cabin. The boys told him ho wuz a liar , and all went back to poker. ' Well , the next day Old Tom did not turn up in the settlement to get a drink , so everybody said ho was sick. Toward midday of the second day the barkeeper in Johnny Porter's pizlu ranch said Old Tom hadn't boon in for a drink for forty- eight hours. Of course the boys knowcd Old Tom was dead then , an' sojthcy com menced to look for the corpse. Sure enough they found it buried in a ditch. There was a hole in tlio back of his head where a chunk of load had gone in. "Well , I got there just as the boys was gottin1 ready to search Old Tom's house and investigate the widder and Canton. It didn't take us long to find blood marks in the house an' wo likewisecotched Can ton a-visitin' Mrs. Jennings. That set tled it. The boys said scch conduct was unbccomin * a brand now widdor. So we arrested them in the name of the law , an1 by kcepin' 'cm apart an1 lyin'to 'em sum we soon made 'em blab. Thov had shot Old Tom 'cause he nat'rally objected to Canton's attentions. "That night the boys sat down to poker there was jus' six o' us and wo played $100 freeze out. It was agreed that the feller who got busied first could bo consoled like , by bcin' allowed to boss the hanging at sun up. Jennings and the widder was tied up on tlio floor in a corner , and they seemed to take just as lunch interest in the poker as we did. "About 5 o'clock , Seven-Wiso-Mcn you remember thatfollcr < lake Goldstein , who thinKs ho knows everything about everything ? Well , ho had his lust chip in , standln' pat on a bob tail Hush , an * would have been mud of ho had not remembered about bein' allowed to boss the lynching. All of a sudden a whole crowd of men galloped up to the house. "I went to the door , boin' careful to take along my three aces an' a Winches ter , nnd saw fifteen cow punchers who had come over from Tom Catron's ranch just south o' us. They'd hoard the news mi' had como to help lynch Jennings and the widdor , they said. Now the freshness of the boss of the crowd riled mo , so I says , short like : " 'Who told you wo was gotn' to lynch 'em11 " 'Why , didn't they kill that measly tramp , Jennings ? ' naked the boss. " 'Sposln they did'says I. 'This is a law-abidin' community , this is. We are going to take them to the county seat for trial. ' " 'Oh , ' said the fresh follor. Come , now. wo want those folks. ' "They commenced to got off their horses , an' I looked around an' saw the boys layin * down their curds an' reachm' for their guns. So I up an' reasoned with the crowd. I told 'cm it ww agin the law an' they laughed at mo. They got so sassy that after a while I whis pered to the boys , who left the lack pot and came to the door with thnlr Winches ters handy. I told that crowd they'd have to lynch ns first. They commenced to finger their shooters. But wo were in the doby with six-foot walls around us. an * wo calculated that wo could stand ofl tirteen men outside. We told 'em to como right in an' commence the lyachin' , but they wouldn't , 1'innlly ono follor said he could attend plenty o' lynchln's an' ho wasn't golu1 to light for one. So they skipped. "After this wo bovs confabbed an de cided that wo would take the prisoners to the county seat , Tierni Amanlla , just to show those fresh co\v punchers that wo were men of out } word. Three days later wo turned the prisoner over to the shorllf. who put them In jail. " While Uuckliorn topk a long drink the crowd told him thai ho was right , nnd deserved great credit ifor upholding the law. There wis : u dead silence for a while , and some of thb boys were com mencing to talk ofi a little game , when suddenly the envious Nubbins said : "By the way Buckhorn , what become of Jennings and the widder ? " "Oh , the widdor , was lot tro for wnu of evidence , " was the evasive reply. "Was Jennings ever tried ami con victed ? " Oh , no , " drawled Buckhorn , slowly , and with evident rclurtaneo. "You see , after wo got that receipt for him from the shcrin , wo laid around town that night waiting for the niornln * ; to start for homo. Well , it was awful dull , an' havm' shown ourselves to bo law-abidin' citizens , wo thought that well in short , wo broke into tlio jail , and hung Jen nings with the sheriff's lariat. " .

A WINTER ON THE RIVIERA. A Glimpse of Monaco The Woman In Black mid Her AVInnlni ; * Ainons Churchmen and Gnineitcrs IVIicro Labor la "IMny. " A correspondent of the I'hiladnlphia Record , writing from Nice , says ; Franco is u universal play liouso , where the force , the comedy , the melodrama and the tragedy blend In one another , but where the curtain never falls. Whether It bo an net of sin , sorrow or shame , or n specta cle of pomp and hypocrisy , all are cloth ed in the garments of pleasure and vir tue. Those French comprehend the true philosophy f lifo. Every phase of exis tence seems to possess its charm for them. Their work is not toil , with light hearts they transform it into sport. Their hap piness is not ostentation nnd opulence , but the calm peace of occupation and a kind of olcctrio energy that appears to extend its current to all classes. Their domestic tasks and social pleasures are all performed with the zest that a French man alone claims , and so mingled that labor becomes play. Every shop-keeper and liboror takes two hours for his mid day repast , He is enjoying1 the bcnlsoa of freedom to the top of his heart. . Lib erty is all around an emancipation of body and soul. The mystic forces made Tranca for republicanism just as they made America nnd Greece for it. The soul of freedom throbs in the flying breeze , the restless wave and the fervent ether. riCTUKESQUU INDUSTRY. The French of the south have not the passion for artistic and artificial effect in the same intrinsic way as the northern or Parisian French. The industry character istic of the peasant woman in these sunny climes is picturcsqua. The sturdy wool stocking is always set upon the four steel needles , and her fingers move cease lessly among the gray aha brown threads , whether she bo clamoring to sell her Jish in the market-place or peacefully ascend ing the steep lanes which wind upward over the Maritime Alps to some high plateau , whore she goes to look upon the sheltering hills , the glistcnine , snow- draped mounds and the little city below constructed with the mathematical per- cision of a Swiss toy. The peasantry of these latin countries are dominated and spiritualized , oven in the lowest condi tions , by a poetic superstition aim pic turesque imagination. They live in the radiance and serunity and beauty of the past. Their poet , their painters , their priests and their soldiers of a misty ear are still with them in some fragment of verso , some color in a fresco , some weird legend , or some mint-stamp on a coin. A STUIFE or CLASSES. In what is known as the old town of Nice there is always stir and strife be tween the classes. Throughout the laby rinth of narrow , dark , dirty footways there is the noise and trade of money- making. The pictures of human action in this section are unique. The damp streets arc lined by cloua-piercinghouscs , whoso outer walls are grim and grimy in the faded magnificence of n past glorv. There are no signs ot lifo m the upper stories , and festoons of cobwebs wreathe and interlace the iron trellis of every window. The ground floors of tlioso buildings are alive with a vigorous com merce. Every alternate house is a mar ket stall. Men buy and sell , boys laugh and light , women wash at the fountains , clash their metal pails upon the stones with shrillest clangor , or sit in tlio door ways with plaited linen coif and black velvet banded over their heads , making material for the artist in his sketches. Wretched , half naked children wallow about their feet and under the forger's anvil , seeming to cradle pollution and death in the folds of their scanty gar ments. Portentous odors meet the nos tril on every side. FAST BOUND TO TUB CIIURCII. Old men , maimed nnd withered , hob ble into the cathedral , crossing them selves with holy water ns they go , and invoking blessings in a muttered patois of Italian , French and Spanish. They extend their umber palms for pennies , and when the strangers' small coin falls in a shower of copper they only raise their voices louder in praise ; but when they get no pecuniary reward for their prayers maledictious mingle a breath less confusion. Those are the fathers of the thick-ribbed fellows yonder pulling out in their rudoAioata from the pier of St. Jean and spreading the madraguo. They are blind to the gaze of those who are sufficiently fortunate to view the exciting - citing spectacle of a tonmira , or tlio ar ranging of a labyrinth of nets constructed in a series of chambers into which great blioals of lisli which approach the shore successively enter. The women sit out in the weather on the shingle beach mending the nets which nro spread to dry on the hot stones. They say their beads ns the evening falls and the bells chime for the Ave Maria. AMONG THE OAMKSTEHS. I have lust returned from a visit to Monte Carlo. Nowhere on earth is gaming so much in favor of the player as it is in Monte Carlo. The roulette table has only ono zero , and this gives the gamester thirty-seven chances against one to the bank. Out of a deep stillness , where no sound is heard , save a slight clunk and the drop of I ho little ivory ball that the croupier semln coursing round the rim of the roulette frame , while with the other hand ho sends the wheel cir cling in the opposite direction , sixty times in the hour issues the French mon- tone : "Messieurs , faitos vos jeuv , " with the mechanical rigor of home intricately fabhioncd automaton. A I'ASSION TUVf MAKK9 ALL 1IQUAL. Round each of the four long tables in tin ) first salon do jcu that la entered trom the great marble-paved corridor nro gathered crowds of human beluga , most of whoso attention is bunt upon the play. Of tbu sixty or more persons assembled atovetv single table , nir.la and female strike a balance. Those in the outer rows nro standing.indlcniiing forward to place thel silver , or they may bo observed pushing a few napoleons to ix distant number by means of a little wooden rake. The sea of faces shows every vari ety of typo of Kuropcnn civilization. The rouh'tto wheel is a maelstrom that draws all the straws and garbage of society into its whirl. Hero , tht-n. is a striking illus tration of the law of human cquallly.aml that all things , in both the moral nut ) the physical world , como to an average. Where else would the imperturbable , heavy visagud English lord and younger sou of a duke have complacently urushed elbows with the little old man with a pro- llln like the vulture ami a long , bony , claw-liko hand that exultantly caresses the yellow coins ns ho adjusts them in piles before passing them to the winning point , and whoso name appears in the police record ot Nice for unlawful of fence ? And there , too , very near u dainty American girl , whoso father counts his revenue in hundreds of thou sandsis a black-hairedbold-eyed woman , meretricious alike in apparel and charac ter. What other possible circumstances would placn these women side by side ? The black-haired Jc/.ebcl is only ono of a great prevailing class , members ot which tire to bo seen everywhere in the Casino. AS lll.ACK IK IIKAUT AS IN UKKS3. The attention of those clustered about tlio table is directed to this woman , upon whose fnco and figure life has with a most cruel and accurate stylus cut in the hieroglyphics of her record. She is at tired in a drapery of oriental lace made over a tunic of black satin , and where the corsage is cut away to expose the neck and shoulders under their gossamer covering every breath is seen to swell the upper portion of her anatomy Into billows of flesh. Great rows of diamonds circle round and round each chubby arm and are clasped over black gloves which corrugate in ample folds to the elbow. This woman , like others of her dcnoiui- ntlon , is not hero to stake her soul. That part of her human make-up has long been swallowed in.the fiery gulf of sin , and roust tend downward. She is hero to make a fortune without giving an equiva lent. She possesses the essentials for such success courage , calmness , cash. She knows that more is won to the bank by rash and excited players than from its own fixed advantage. The bank has the supremacy over men in that its operations are purely mechanical ; it has no emo tions , therefore players should have as few as possible. She feels that she has a sure system of acquisition , nnd she U fol lowing it up. WAITING FOR HER CHANCE. She believes that everything turns up regularly at the equipoise of the scale at regular intervals , though the intervals are irregular. She watches for them ; she is in no hnrryjsho rests her eyes , m a look of neutrality that only half veils ex ultation , on the vast concourse pitching their louis recklessly , while she studies long before she drives her blind bargain with fate. Hero she uses the player's ad vantage over the bunkr She waits ; it must play on. WINNING BY A SYSTEM. There has been a series on black , She is sure a change must bo near ; so. being an adept , she rushes in to snatch a for tune by playing on another color , just as an adroit woman subtly recognizes an opportunity for conquest and catches a heart in the rebound. She puts G louis on rod and wins. She doubles her stake and puts it on black , and again she wins. So she continues to alternate between red and black before the inauguration of another series. On this method she has been seven times the winner. Now she waives the moment. When she next bends to place her wager it is upon red , for she remembers that the last long se ries ran upon black. ' 'Meissinrs , faitcs vos jeux , " and the wheel winds its tortu ous way with the low , sweeping sound like the swish-swash , swish-swash of a hidden brook. "Le jcu no va plux."says the voice of Parcae , as the gentle swish- swash gradually fades into silence and the little ball drops on rod. lied it is ; for fourteen consecutive games it is red , red , rod ; and cach.timc as she passes her louis to the winning point the compang gazes breathless , and as she gathers her golden luck amid a deafening approval of bravos she is convinced hers is the infallible system.
