Ho Quccrcd tlio Fight.
Sr. PAUL , Minn. , March 22. [ Correspond-
cnco of the BKK. ] The fight the past week
between Joe Lannan , ot South Boston , and
Jim Foil , the Mlchlgandcr , brings to mind
tbo story of the latter told by n gentleman
who witnessed the "scrap" between that
Illustrious pug and John P. Clew a few
'years ' ngo. Included fn the long lisl of ; names
of pugilists who have mot dcfcatnttho hands
of Clou' Is that of Fell , and thereby hangs
the tale , Clew numbers nniong his most in-
tima'tofriends Mr. "Bat" Mnstorsonf of
'ivhbso exploits In Kansas nnd Texas most
everybody has heard , and It is said the latter
gentleman wo * n great admirer ot Clow's
nullity in the pugilistic lino.Vhcn the
match was made between Clew and Fell It
was the opinion of these supposed to bo
jMDstcd on such matters that Clew would
Imvo n regular pudding with the Michi
gan man , and big odds wcro offered on the
fdrmor. Mastcrson was ono of the heaviest
backers of his friend , and when the day of
the flght arrived Clew did n clever strolto of
'business" by having him selected ns referee.
iTho flght occurred , 1 behove , at the Denver
driving track , and there was an Immense
crowd present , In the hope of seeing the
Colorado man knock out bis adversary.
But Foil disappointed them. Ho wont at
Clew in the first round In n manner to bring
dismay to the hearts ot these present who
liad placed their money against him , and
After hammering Clew nil over the ring ,
knocked him down witlt a vicious right
hander. Clew was game , however , and ho
came up for his "medicine" In the second
, round lu n manner that raised the hopes of
his backers. But ho was no match for the
Michigan man. and thosecond round wns n
reiKJtltion of the first , excepting that Clew
was sent to his corner nt tlio close In u do-
cldedly groggy condition.
Mtistcrhon had been n not uninterested
\Yitnes8of the rough treatment'of his friend ,
and ho saw that aoinothing must ba done at
once , or else- Clew would bo dofcatcd and his
own money lost. Ho conceived a brilliant
idea about this time , however , and when the
men had retired to their corners , ho stepped
to the ropes and announced that ho would bo
compelled to give the fight to Clew , as the
latter had just claimed a foul , which ho in
Justice must allow , The crowd received the
announcement with shouts of approval , ns it
was a well known fact that any one who
questioned any of Mastcrson's acts never
survived n great length of time to talk about
it , ho being ono of the surest shots in the
west , and not nt all backward about exhibit
ing his skill. Of course Fell kicked a little ,
jjut hq received a qulot "tip" of the kind of
f coplo ho had to deal wit'a and took his "do-
Joat" with ns good grace as possible.
' Joe Lannan is a former Winnlpogor. Ho
lind qulto n reputation in the northwest pro
vinces ns a slugger , and John S. Barnes , the
manager of the St. Paul ball club , brought
him to St. Paul and matched him against Pat
Klllcn. IClllcn won the flght , but it was ono
of the hardest ho over fought , and had it not
been ( or Tommy Chandler , who was behind
Klllnn nnd had trained him for the battle , the
result might have been different. Lannau
inado all kinds of charges against the men
who were handling him , claiming that ho had
been drugged and that it was n
Jlxcd thing lor him to loso. Tlieso
, stories , of course , have nil. . been
denied by Barnes and there is probably no
truth In them further than that Lannan was
poorly handled. Siuco that time , some tbiea
years ago , Lannan has met some good men ,
and I think the only defeat ho has suffered
\vis at the hands .of Juke Kilniin. Lannan
Is nn ideal "pug , " so far as , looks nro con
cerned , having u veritable bull-dog head on
Ills shoulders and n short , thick neck. Had
Ills flght with Fell last Monday not been
stopped by the authorities , ho would un
doubtedly hnvo won , ns hq had considerable
the best of the two rounds fought.

Base Ball.
DBS MOINES , la , , March 25 , [ Special
to the BEE. ] Base ball Is beginning to rage
again with all of lost summer's intensity.
The city promises to bo ns big a crank on the
subject of base ball us it over was. The now
team is regarded as much superior to the old
ono , and the now association is BO much bet
ter than the old that flno games nro expect
ed. The people of DCS Molnes feel very
much pleased lit the treatment they have re
ceived in the assignment of games. The
BChcdulq gives DCS Moincs games on Deco
ration day , Fourth of July and the state fair
Wpck. The committee evidently remem
bered the splendid patronage which the city
bestowed on the game last year , and pro
posed to keep up u good thing. The signing
of "Orator Shnfcr" probably completes the
list of the tcuui for the present at least.

A OAUGO OF NEOUOE8.

California Plantations.
ST. Louis , March 25. A throng of pcoplo
congregated'in tbo vicinity of thq Union
depot yesterday morning to gaze upon three
par loads of negroes , two hundred in number ,
on their way to California. They came In
over the Iron Mountain road , All of them
wore from .southern plantations , nnd nro the
most ignorant class of ncgrops. They were
in charge of two white men nnd nro being
taken to California to work on largo farms
, -lu the state , They have become imbued
xvlth Iho bqjlqt that they tire being taken
back into slavery , and on the way here half
a dozen of them made their oscupo from
jtho train , The men who have
ctUrgo ) of them , fearing that they
, would lese the entire body , concluded to lock
them In thu cars and Iteep a close watch. At
the depot none of thejn were permitted to
leave the cars , their meals being brought to
them. They nro contracted for by California
planters , who pay their faro uud furnish their
food , nnd npreo to pay the men (15 u month ,
tlio women if 10 , and the children who ran
inulto half wages , on their arrival , The
planters want them because labor ls scarce
la Southern California , and they nro at the
inorcy of the Chlncso laborers , who charge
exorbitant wages. Only men with families
uro wanted , and if tha experiment , which has
been tried before without cutiro success ,

Proposed International Copyright.
WASHINGTON , March 25. [ Special to the
BEB.J The presence of o number of the most
distinguished authors in America in Wash
ington lately has given a decided impetus to
the movement in favor of international copy
right. Senator Chase , of FUiodo Island , who
is the champion of the idea in the senate , has
succeeded | n "securing a favorable report from
Lho senate- committed on patents , and the
subject of International cppyright will como
up for vigorous discussion in the senate very
shortly. The authors , v/lth other distin
guished men who were opposed to literary
piracy have organized a copyright league ,
the object of which Is to enlighten the people
and the people's representatives In congress
upon this matter. Thcro is scarcely a writer
of repute la America to-day who doe's not bo-
llovo that the braltis of himself and hla col
leagues on the other side of the water , as
well as on this sldd should be protected by a
copyright law.
Thcro linvo been many attempts to secure
legislation having this end in vlow In the
past , but these attempts have been desul
tory efforts , ' without organization to back
them , nnd as a result they have failed. The
great trouble s9oms to bo that members of
congress fear that their constituents may ho
deprived ot ohoap rending matter If piracy l
to bo prohibited. - Similar arguments might
have been advanced against every reform of
the century , nnd thcro is really no reason
why the man whoso pen pi educed the
thoughts of his brain should not bo protected
by law equally with the mechanic whoso
genius contrives an electric motor , a telephone -
phone or a sowing machine- . .
Amonif thp gentlemen whowero hero , and
who took an nctlvopart in the proceedings of
the authors , was h'rauk II. Stockton , whoso
unique tales have been read in al
most every household in the hand. Mr.
Stockton is the gentleman whoso brain
conceived that problem which still
remains unsolved "Which came out llrst , the
lady or the UgerJ"
Mr. Stockton's writing In the Century
magazine * as well as in books published from
time to time , has made him as well known ns
any writer before the public in America to
day. Your correspondent had u chat with
htm iu his hotel before ho loft and asked him
if he found any difference between the treat
ment received by authors In this country and
hi Europe. Mr. Stockton replied :
"Some of my books have hon published in
England and Germany , and I had. la sev
eral instances , better returns from ttio Eng
lish uud German , publications than I have
had from the American houses which have
produced my works. "
"Do you think , then , there is more honor
among the publishers of Europe than among
their fellow ? In America ! "
"It would sconi so , " said Mr. Stockton , "as
the publishers were not bound by any copy
right-law , and their payments to mo were ,
therefore , Insured solely through the honor
of the house involved. "
Mr. Stockton went on to say that the cheap
trash has lately filled all the counters
of the book stores and book stands to such a
great extent ns to work to the injury of
almost every American author , because these
cheap publications havo. diverted attention
from the moro meritorious works , and the
fact of their low prlco has Induced buyers to
overlook the quality of the production. Mr.
Stockton said that the object of the organ
ization which has just been termed here is to
educate the pcoplo up to the point of uppro-
cliiting the rights of authors and ottering
thorn just an much protection as Is afforded
by the patent laws \6 Inveutprs. The patent
laws protect the Inventions of thu English
man or a German equally with the Invention
of the American , nnd there Is no reason why
the protection of the government should not
bo extended equally to the author. The
agitation of this Hubjcet will certainly have u
beneficial ofTeot Home day , although it U
hardly to lx ) hoped thut it will result in the
passage of the copyright law -vvhlch will
afford protection to forolKti writers during
the present congress , as the house calendar *
uni already very crowded with business , nnd
it will bo exceedingly dlflioult to got any now
uicasuro before the hou&u for u voU ) ,
Tlio Jjoicim EUOI > IQN In Demand.
WASHINGTON , March 25. [ Special to the
BEE. ] The eulogies delivered In congress
some time ago on General Logan Imvo jusl
been published In a handsome volume , bound
In black cloth , and embossed In silver letters
These eulogies are now on the market , uud
the secoiul-lmud book dealers are gathering
them up us rapidly as possible. Democratic
members of , congress , cjiepaljy } those- from
the south , do not euro much for works o
thib kind , unless they refer to the services of
60U1Q distinguished democratic congressman
or Bomo of the local celebrity , Thu" second
hand book dealers tell mo that the domain
for the Logan oulogloa is greater than that
for any other member of congress who has
died in many years , and has only bcoi
equaled by the demand for the motnoria
addresses of the late Pro&ldoiit Garfield
The volume of llondrleka bad a largo sale
far a bhort time , but It U'novv almost a drug
on the market ,
The fact , however , thai thQ Logan volume
made its upncarunco during a session of con
Kress has given a fresh start to Iho sale o
the Hendrlcka culoglua , and exchanges are
made almost every day , The current prlco
quoted for those different volumes Is 2JJO a
hundred for Log.m and t-'o tor Htmdrlcks
The works cost the government a great do.i
moro than this , but public documents , no
matter how valuable they may bo. are always
sold at wholesale for u great deal less thai
they cost.
An instance of this kind is shown In the
demands for the volume known ns "Consu
Uciwrts on Cattle and Dairying Interest , "
which is 0110 of the most valuable works for
the Agriculturist ovur jssued by congres ?
Sixty-Jivo thousand dollars has been appro
prlatcd to pay for the publication of 251KX
additional copies of tliovrk. . This would
indicate that the cost to the government U a
little over fcJ.50 u-volu'mo' . Yet I hear to-day
.thatseveralinombors have sold orders for
' their quotas &t the rate of > l a volume , to. bo
Icllvored when they shall bo published from
the government printing offlco , Those sales
are not always paid for tn cash , but nro set
tled by an.exchango of books , which may beef
of moro valtiQ to the member who enroi to
dtsposo of anything pertaining to agricul
ture.
ture.Tho agriculture report , ot "which upwards
of four hundred copies are allowed encli mem
ber each year , has n marketable value ot
about G cents a copy n wholesale. This would
not pay for the cost of binding the books ,
even when they are turned out il hiinflrcd
thousand at a timo. Tlio only volumes that
bring anything near their cost to the gov
ernment nro the reports of the fcthnologlcal
bureau and the volumes of the medical and
surgical history df the war. Thoserhavoa
commercial value of from 1 fo $10 each.
Some of the earlier numbers of tno "Records
of the Rebellion , " which nro voey scarce ,
bring as much ns $5 apiece unbound.

A Minister Pltcuas Into Fnshlonnlilo
For Their Ijowdncss Pretty
Girls Hnvb tlio Cnlt Over
Hoifibly Ones ,
lAfn Ini'Gothnni.
YORK , March St. [ Correspondence of
theBnit.J Onoot the niost frequently used
topics for discussion In Fifth avenue society
Is the organization , known as the Ladles
Amateur orchestra , to which belongs Mayor
Hqwltt's daughters and other distinctly swell
hollos. Much speculation wns rlfo ns to tlm
way the girls would handle their uistrumonts
for the rehearsals wcro strictly private , and
It was only Intimate friends who know who
the 'players were nnd what they lilayud.
Grpat curiosity was manifested as to how n
young lady would operate n slide trombone ,
or the bassoon , or worse yet , the French horn.
But , lackadnyl when a public performance
wns given recently it appeared that nono'of
these Instruments was employed la the or
chestra. It IB essentially u string band , but
the parts ususlly written for the brass and
wood wind Instruments are played upon nn
organ nnd n piano. Another season will
doubtless see the exile of these commonplace
cxj > cdlcnt8 and the substitution of clarinets ,
horns , etc. , for several young ladles ,
enthusiastic under the Influence of the
musical fad have begun , the study of different
wind Instruments. The melodious kettle
drums and the inspiring cymbals nro oven
now in the practical repertory of the club ,
and so far have proved the main obstacles tea
a professional appearance. It was indeed
interesting to see Miss Janln between pieces
screw up the heads of her big drums , nnd
rap them gently and place her Bholl-llko car
against them to test the pitch , and then turn
the screws a little lower and rap nnd listen
again ; and then turn the screws n notch
higher nnd repeat the experiment ; nnd finally
turn her fair face with a discouraged expres
sion towards Kolnhard Schmolz , the con
ductor nud teacher , who immediately ran to
her nld , nnd by u few quick turns of the
screws and hasty tests , brings the clumsy
instrument to the desired pitch.
In playing the drums the girl had n quite
professional air , but she watched the con
ductor with unusual eagerness , ana crouched
over the drums as she pounded out the rat-
tat-tat in n way that suggested nervous un-
famllinrity with the work. .Tho desired
musical effect , however , was brought every
time. The big bass drum is occasionally
brought Into play , and It is a sight worth
seeing when n fair young lady , all dressed In
white with a blue sash , the uniform of the
organization , holds the clumsy , wadded stick
poised In air preparatory to a rythmlo thump
against the much battered sheepskin. And
there is a unique picEuMcsqucncss in the way
Miss E. Johnstono Clangs the cymbals to
gether. There Is especial skill oven in the
use of these nncieul instruments. It is not
enough to bring -surfaces fiat together ;
they must glide across ttach ether , and the
painstaking way in wwh the lady rubbed
the discs together showed not only careful
instruction , but a liamstuking dcsiro to do
exactly right.
In all the orchestrjhpwovcr ! } , there wns no
real awkwardness alaltkiyod. It is recog
nized among musicians that only a woman
can hold a violin undoV her chin with any
semblance of grace/ / and while u man's bowIng -
Ing is always suggestive of n lunatic's fit , n
woman's is sinnous niiu lovely. The players
of the stringed instruments , therefore , present -
sent a very attracUV3 spectacle as they
stand before their rftclQ , for the amateur
orchestra docs not deign to use chairs except
in the case ot Instriijinmts llko the "cellos"
, that cannot bo played/standing. . But when
it comes to an intermission , when the inev
itable tuning operation is resumed , nnd the
audience is distracted by the discordant
scraping of a score of empty" fifths and ladies
show their amateur accomplishments. Miss
Salllo C. Hewitt and ono or two others are
fully competent to do their own tuning , but
with tha major part of the players , the di
rector has to bo depended upon to take
the instrument in hand and correct the
pitch of the strings. This is not nt all dero
gatory to the abilities of the organization , for
on the whole the critics soy that the ladles
play well , but it is a bit amusing to note their
earnestness. As the ladies play their brows
contract , their lips are pressed close together
and their figures sway unconsciously in
rhythm with their bowing. The young lady
at the bass viol is perhaps the hardest worker
In the orchestra. Her right firm saws baok
and forth with tremendous vigor , and her loft
hand goes chasing up and down the neck of
the big instrument as if clawing vainly for a
Jersey 'skootcr. At the conclusion of each
piece , whether in public performance or re
hearsal , the ladles take their violina from
their chins with a sigh , and look anxiously
at their conductor to judge from his
expression whether they hnvo done

sucd after ono of the rehear
sals just proceeding the club's first public
performance. It was on n very ancient toplo
what should they wear ! All kinds of opin
ions were ventured , from recommendations
that all appear In fullovoulng dress , to ordin
ary house toilets. Export musical judgment
speedily dismissed the first , because although
such u dress exposes . moro physique ) than
any other , it after all confines the wearer
moro forcibly ; and ono thing needed in vlo-
lln playing Is .freedom of action. The luttur
suggestion was dismissed as altogether too
unconventional , and accordingly u very
happy medium was found in the simple
white dress und blue sash , which was event
ually adopted.
Pretty Mrs. Ormo Wilson , nco Astor , has
done n drbudful thing , and qulto shamelessly ,
right in Fifth uvenuu. too. In broad sun
light , at n time when the great thoroughfare
was thronged , she violated ono of the most
cherished laws of our best society. What
did she doi She walked from Madison square
to her homo , a distance of cloven blocks ,
carrying a bundle. A lady of the top crust ,
and an Astor at that , with a big bundle In

amazed. No such violation of the "first
family" usage had been seen within memory.
A fashionable woman's ' whim will somotlmoa
load her to do things which must surely at
tract the wondering attention of all ob >
servers , however , and especially those of her
own grade of society. When a fancy is once
strongly aroused all sorts of conventions uro
in danger of being rudely cast aside. In this1
instance the outrogc Uji parcel was oven

fashionable Trinity church , thut the modish
part of town is in a furttr'Ub.out It. In a ser

caustiu paeaago to exactly the ladles among

pal accusation , and he couched * it in the
strongest imaginable terms , wis that the
young daughters of wealth were trained
in softness and luxury , with the
one idea in vlow of making a
figure in society and n brilliant marriage ; of
making the mokt of their physical aU vantages
nnd alluring the other box by acts best
adapted for that purposo. " Ho went BO far
as to Bay that low gossip among these girls
was enlivened by "broad speeches nnd un
clean stories , by which they are prepared lor
the final surrender of the lust ideas of pro
priety and of all faith in the horror and vir
tue of , men. " Ilo was just as hard as that ,
too. on married ladies , who ho accused of in
viting flirtation for themselves and "only
glad to find themselves still able to make sen
timental conqucsls. " His spucJfltMtjons as to
improper dress atbplls and tno opera , nod of
wilful association with prqfllgatcs , were as-
touudwgly bold , Hod all this. co uu > from ' ' a

would not have boon so astonishing ; but Dr.
Ulx is n central flguro in the very innermost )
circles df "our best society" , nnd ho has
shocked all of us beyond description. These
who feel resentful are inclined to ascrlbo hla
aspersions to an inborn coldness
nnd nsvotlclsm. Dix remained n bachelor
until ho Was fifty years old , nnd was nt onetime
time ah outspoken advocate for celibacy for
clergymen. Ho Instituted an order of Epis
copal nuns nnd planned , although ho did not
organize , on order of bachelor ministers.
But at length ho succumbed to usage nnd In
clination nnd took to himself n wife from out
of a rich and respected family. His severe
feminine critics sny , however , that ho re
mains a bachelor in his Instincts , that ho has
no appreciation of woman as n charming
being and tlmtho unjustly ascribes the girls'
innocent endeavors toward witchery ; to n
slnfulncss that , no ronlly wldo open oycs
could possibly discover. At nil events , n
\yalk by Dfx through Fifth nvcnuo yesterday
afternoon wns visibly followed by reproach
ful fclanccs from the belles and by niidlblo re
marks of on uncomplimentary nature.
Afono of the principal typo-writing schools
in town you often fico ns many as eight or
ten young women on the benches In the
outer oftlce , waiting to see the , proprietor of
whom they want to get employment ns
pupils or secretaries to business men. When
ho comes in you will hlwnys notice that ho
s6cs thoni without regard to the order in
which they borne , picking out ono hero nnd
ono there , taking them Into his office each by
herself until only ono or two remain on the
scats. It you studied the subject day after
day you \yould soon discover that the moro
prepossessing a young woman is the less
tlfno she has to wait and that It Is always the
plain ones who are loft to the last. Poverty ,
especially when It entails the necessity for n
young girl to go out and cam her living Is
hard nnd bitter , and many a time nnd oft you
will sea that the homely girls , loft sitting on
these benches , hnvo unfathomcd the proprie
tor's secret hud nro biting their lips and oven
suffering molsturo to flood their eyes ns they
note how certainly a beautiful face and stylish
attire command attention.
The other day I went to school and I wit
nessed the neglect of n plain girl who evi
dently found it difficult to conceal her morti
fication. I wns in the room with the propri
etor when ho asked her to como in.
"I suppose thcro is no use my asking you.
sir , " she said , "but slnco I have waited Iwlll
say that I am seeking occupation as a typo-
writer. "
"Do you understand the business ? " ho
asked.
"I am .said to bo very rapid , " she said ; "I
hnvo been flvo years at the calling. "
"Will you accept S15 n week to net ns sten
ographer and typo-writer to vlco-presldcnt
so-and-so of the oil company ! "
Her eyes changed color ; they brightened
almost into flame.
'Fifteen dollars 1" she said ; "I got10 , sir ,
nnd then only for a year before the flrni I
was with failed. "
The nrrangomomcnt or bargain was quickly
mado. Bdforo she loft , the girl asked : "Will
you toll mo why you saw mo last , though I
was the first to comol"
"I'd rnthor not , " said thojomploycr ,
"Did all the others secure places } " she
asked.
"No ono but you was taken , " ho said.
She went nwny wondering. When she had
gene the proprietor turned to mo nnd said :
"That is both a sensitive and sensible girl.
She thought she was loft to the lost because
her face mid dress nro plain. She is right.
This is the day ot the homely girl. The
beauty , the belle , the drossy girl , nil are at a
discount In this business , nnd wo have re
solved uover to employ another pretty girl if
wo can got n homely ono. "
"There's about It " ho
no mystery , con
tinued , "It's plain business. There nro now
six or seven thousand girls nt work in men's
offices down town , and while their entree into
commercial lifo is always spoken of as n
feminine revolution , the truth iu that it has
created n social stir deeper than cither ono
sex has felt. When girls were first made
use of on account of the quickness of their
hands , the suitability of the work and the
low price at which they could bo got by
reason of the largo number seeking work ,
the craze was for pretty girls. Every man
wanted a belle to sit at his desk and take
down his letters nnd memoranda. It was
natural. There were plenty of pretty girls ,
and who on earth does not prefer
beauty to plainness. Men who are
in my business naturally trlod to
get only pretty pupils and beauti
ful depths. Wo scanned the girl's dresses ,
judged them by their stylishness and insisted
on general attractiveness , if wo over took
up a plain girl wo were apt to bo sorry for it ,
for we had had hard work to plato her. Now ,
all that is changed. I can show you scores of
letters In whjch business , men aslr ino not to
send a pretty girl. In fact the only offices
whcro we can place a pretty girl nro very
largo ones where the employer chooses the
girl and details her to go with others in the
same department or to assist a mala chief
clerk or private secretary. These nnd the
offices of the bachelors in easiness uro the
only places where wo can gpt work for pretty
girls.
"Tho reason is as plain ns the nosq on your
face , " ho continued. "Tho wives have inter
fered. Every married man is visited at his
office by his wife moro or less frequently. If
she finds him elbow to elbow or face to face
with a pretty coquette every time she comes ,
she is certain to mnko lifo moro or less un
pleasant for him. Some women in such
cases 'take it out' at homo , as the saying
goes , but I have had men tell mo that their
wives were forqver popping in ou them inid
practically never missed a' day with
out a call at their offices. . These
business men , nearly nil men pick
up a boquct or box of candy or some llttlo
knick-knack now and then to gladden the
lifo of the girl at their elbow. Imagine the
state of the wife who finds that the flowers
she sees on her husband's desk were put
there by him when ho has told her ton thou
sand tlniQs that ho has hated flowers from
Infancy I OU.no ; there is no show for the
pretty girl In business in Now York to.day.
ThocO who got places long ago are being
crowded out uud no now ones nro now taken

MONTE CARLO
And How to Mnko Money TJioro.
Sheffield Telegraph ! Whnt Imvo the
trains to do with the gaming-house
keeper , you will say ? The answer Is ,
"Everything. " The railway company
receives nn enormous sum annually
from the proprietor of tho. tables not to
run trains from Menlo Carlo. And
inoro than this. Money is spent llko
water , to oncournpo the visitors to stay.
In the grounds there Is n biff hotel ,
where at 0:30 : there is a tnhlo tl'hoto.
The charge is flvo francs , and4 for this
sum you pot the finest dinner It Is poss
ible to sit down to , mid wlno Included !
not a vin ordinaire , but superior
Modoc , and not'one bottle < but as mariy
bottles as you llko ? and the best cham
pagne is sold at flvo franks a. bottle. Of
course there is a loss on the dinner.
This is paid by the proprietor of the
gambling establishment. Ho pays the
hotel keeper a subsidy of 4,000 for the
season , in order to mnko the table d'
hoto the finest in the country.
All this is done with ono object to
encourage pcoplo to como to Monte
Carlo and stay there "because it is
cheap , " and the flower grounds are laid
out nice fairyland to make people como
"because it is so beautiful. " Unman
nature is rolled upon to recoup the pro
prietor for his outlay.
Nearly all those who come because it
Is so cheap , or because It is so lovely , or
because It is so healthy , or because it is
so gay , flnd themselves somehow or
other at the tables , and then they leave
so much money that the proprietor finds
himself loft , after his enormous annual
outlay , with a profit so huge that the
figures fairly take one's breath away.
Ho has only spread Jus sprats around
wherewith to catch Ills mackerel.
The English contingent at Monte
Carlo is a very largo QUO , nnduotalways
u very select one. I was rathorstartlod
in the Arab quarter of Algiers to hoar
some ono behind mo remark that It was
"bloomln' 'ot " but
; my surprise was
greater when at Monte Carlo , smoking
my cigar under the shade of a
beautiful palm tree , I hoard a female
voice , concealed from view by the
foliaga , exclaim , "Well , you didn't ort
to 'avo done it. I told yor as there was
a rcglor run on red , " and a male voice
replied , "Well. 1 don't care , I'll 'avo
another go thishovonln' , if I loose every
blessed mug wo'vo ' brought with us. '
And In the evening the language of
some of the London ladies who play la
startling in the extreme.
I cajno away from Menlo Carlo at 7:47. :
carefully concealing the fact I still had
a small sum to the good about mo. I
was afraid to whisper it to my compan
ion , lost the authorities should hear of
It , and send a message to the railway
company to make the 7.47 "facultatif"
also. But when wo wore safely in the
train and it had started , I imparted to
him the news that I was still 2(5 ( francs
to the good. Then , his big baby face
beaming all over with smiles , ho im
parted to mo the fact that lie also had
won 30.
I put on a forbidding aspect .at once ,
and sternly rebuked him. "You had
no right to gamble , " said I. "You can
not afford it. You have a wife and
family at homo in London. I wouldn't
luwo taken you to Monte Carlo if I had
imagined you would so far forgot your
self. "
"But I didn't gamble , " lie replied.
"I give you myword of honor that I
didn't. "
"Then how have you won 80i" '
Ho looked cautiously around him , and
then whispered in my ear , "Imadotho
money by attempting to commit suicide
in the grounds. Hal Hal It was not
for nothing that I brought that revolver
with usl"
The wicked , deceitful , artful fellowl
What do you think ho had done ? I
am nplimncd of him. I told him thut it
was most dishonorable , and ho promised
never to do such a thills' again.
While I was wildly Hinging my fivo-
franc pieces on red and black , pnsso and
manque , on the numbers on plyiii , traiiB-
vorsale , a cheval , and carro , with an oc
casional plunge on zero , ho had put on
a melancholy and dejected look , and
wandered away to n secluded part of the
grounds. As ho passed out of the doors
lie drew cautiously from his pocket the
revolver , the wonderful weapon that
won't go off. Ho looked at it for a mo
ment , awl , as .soon as ho was sure that
ono of tno ofllcials had observed him , ho
replaced it in his pocket and made
slowly for a sequestered snot.
Ho hoard footsteps behind him ; ho
know that ho was being followed. Pres
ently IIQ draw the fatal weapon out , ana
exclaiming in French , "I am ruined ;
hero lot mo expiate iny fault , " ho placed
the revolver in his moutji and was about
to pull the trigger when two olllqinls
rushed forward and dashed the deadly
weapon from his grasp.
An explanation was demanded , Ho
begun to shout out his wpos. Ho had
lost his all nil the money ho had
brought with him to Monte Carlo , lie'
had not the means of returning to Eng
land , and please would they allow him
to die in peace ?
The officials bogged him not to shout

After a sjiow of rpsintanco the would-

the revolver and the officials , ho re
paired to the olllco.

How much had monster lost ? "All ho

was that ? "Ho couldn't Bay , but all ho
luuli and he had not the moans to pay

The administration put on Its consid
ering cap , and then made n , proposition.
It monsieur had the means to pay his
hotel bill and return to England , would
ho abandono the ideaof suicide ? ' 'Why ' ,
certainly. " And then , after a little
moro consideration , ho found himself In
possession of 30 , and the administra
tion was left congratulating Itself on
having avoided "another scandal nt
Monte Carlo.
My companion protested to mo that
his statement was perfectly true so far
as it concerned having lost till ho
brought with him , for ho had only flvo
francs in his pocket , and ho hml lost It.
I shan't ' ndvlso him to keep the 30 , Ixi-
cause I don't think It is quite honestly
como by. I shall make him present it
to n London charity on his return to
town.
The Menlo Carlo people will do any
thing to avoid a scandal , but asai-mo
they nro more stringent than they wore
in this instance. The revolver in ills
mouth was considered by them sufllcicnt
ovldonco of his bonntldo loss. They
didn't know what n lump of artfulness
they w.oro dealing with.
As a rule , this is the process. You
have lost all your money and you
are In bonafldo distress. You go
to the administration and ask for
a little assistance to got homo/ You
arc asked nt what table you played.
The head croupier of that table is sent

So long as you don't return to Monte

must repay your I O U before you are

MOTHER QOOSE.
AVlio Was the Originator of tlio
Stories ?
Charles Porrault , ox-socrotary of flue
arts and public buildings to the great
Colbert , at the ago of ilfty began to col
lect perhaps amplify and embellish and
commit to pancr for the amusement of
his son traditions and stories which
mothers and nurses amused their chil
dren. flThcso manuscript stories were
circulated in Paris to n great extent ;
but there is some doubt as to whether
they would over have been published.
says All the Year Round , had not Mile.
Lhoritior do Villaudon , encouraged by
Porrault's success in manuscript , pub
lished in 1000 u book of stories of far In
ferior merit.
"Mother Goose's Tales ; or , Stories of
Past Ages , with Morals , " was published
the year after ; and , although stated to
bo by P. Dnrmancourt , the son , of
Charles Fcrrault , all Paris knew that
the real author of the eight fairy talcs
was no other than Charles Porrault , the
author of works on line arts and history ,
and the originator of thafflorco contro
versy which raged on the publication of
the "Pnrnlloles des Anelons ot dcs
Modornos , " which lasted so long , and
brought out the argumentative powers
of such men as Ituciuo , Boiloru , and-
LafonUiino.
The truth was that Porrault. at the
ago of sixty-eight , was ashamed to pub
lish in his own name so frivolous aw.ork.
The dull , long novels , the serious moral
books which , strange as it may seem ,
were regarded as fashionable toward the
close of the reign of Louis XIV were
soon superseded by fairytales , and many
were the imitators of Porrault such us

Charles Porrault's name is remembered
it will not bo for his "History of the
Illustrious Men of Franco , " or for the
work done at Colbert's bccrotary , but as
the collector and writer of those old
fairy talcs "tho best of the sort that
hauo boon given to the world simple ,
written in n naive and familiar style ,
and having the appearance of implicit
belief on the part of the relater , " says
Planoho , which are known as "Tho
Tales of Motlior Goobo. "
The book is a favorite one with col
lectors , and when found it is generally
very llnely bound , and comes from a
famous library. Some years ago at the
Berlin sale in Paris , the finest known
copy , bound in light blue morocco by
