How the Dariag Blue Grass Gamesters Pike Up Their Mene}. From Louisville (Ky.) Letter to Philadelphia Press. Probably there is no state in the Union where gambling of all kinds is carried on as openly and as generally as it is in Kentucky, and in no city has the mania for gaming such a hold on the public mind as it has in Louisville. Every- body gambles here. The central part of the city is one vast faro bank. For three squares on 5th street and for four squares on Jefferson street nearly every house is filled with keno rooms andfaro banks. The law is a dead letter, for the gamblers are greater than the law; they make the law. This city has now become the horse center of the state, and here are collected all the big “‘sports” of Kentucky. From Febru- ary until October and November pools are sold in half a dozen places tor sums ranging from 25 cents to 34,000 and $5,000. The vast amount of money that changes hands in a single year also is appalling. I was talking the other day with ‘Fat Dick” Watts, one of the proprietors of the turf exchange, and the figures he e of the firm’s dealings, in- cluding orders telegraph, French mutuals ere for last year between 26,000,000 and $7,000,000. Compare this with the dealings of any of the national banka or any of the great mercantile houses of the country and see how few surpassit. The amount of betting going on at the races each day is simpl amazing. On Derby day no less than x changed hands on the ground alone, and all this in cash. It wasn’t a very good day for bet- ting either. The winnings that some of these gamblers make is enough to take one’s breath away. In one race alone Mr. Jack Chinn, the owner of Leonatus, won $35,000. He isthe famous friend of Phil. Thompson, and was his staunchest sup- porter in all thetroubies that arose from Thomp- son’s unfortunate shooting affair. He is a des- perate better, and one night last summer, the story runs, that ina big poker game with some Blue Grass race_men he won @15,000._ Ex-Gov. McCreary was at this time talking of running for Congress against Thompson. Chinn heard of it, and, slapping his hand down on the table in front of him, swore roundly that Thompson should have every cent of his winnings to beat McCreary. When McCreary heard of the threat he failed to make the race. Chinn isa typical Kentucky gambler, handsome, broad-shouldered, liberal to a fault, and knows how to use a pistol. He once faced a mob of thirty republicans at Harrodsburg, who were threatenlug to kill any enemy of Col. “Bill” Bradley, the leader ot thelr party in the state, and especially hated by Chinn. He boldly denounced Bradley before the whole crowd. Ina minute a dozen pistols were out. Chinn instantly drew his own, lev- eled it at the head of the leader, and swore that the first man who attempted to shoot him would. read their leader's death warrant. Some friends backed him up, all ot them with their weapons drawn, and a bloody battle was only prevented by mutual friends settling the dispute. He car- ries himself fauntily, never picks a quarrel, and never shuns one that isforcedon him. A brave, reckless, dashing fellow 1s Jack Chin, and a good specimen of the Blue Grass gambler. He owns Leonatus and several other good horses, has a fine farm in the heart of the Blue Grass, and is willing to bet $10,000 on three aces. . Another man here named Keegin won $40,000 on Lida Stanhope and it scarcely raised a rip- ple. In the same race a pool was sold for 24,000. Thisis considered moderate betting. The very children in the streets buy pool tick- ets. On one side of 8d street you can see men in kid gloves wagering their thousands at the “Turf,” and across the way bootblacks and newsboys bet 25 cents on the “Derby.” The judge of our circuit court buys pools and no one thinks wrong of it. He is a big-hearted, honest gentleman, and if public sentiment op- posed gambling he would scorn to do it. The chief of the fire department sells pool tickets across the counter, and the leading councilman of the city is an auctioneer during the races. The governor of the state buysfreely, and backs his choice like an old gambler, The very girls buy pool tickets, and divide their pocket-money with their brothers and try to plump a winner. Men make princely for- tunes ina few years. Milt. Young, an obscure grocery keeper at Henderson, Ky., got hold of a good horse, and after two years bought him- selt a magnificent stock farm pear Lexington— the famous McGrathiana—and is worth any- where from 200,000 to $300,000, and has a sta- ble full of flyers. His horses always lost at the right time and won at the right time. “You oughtn’t to blame the horses,” said a turfman ae “they didn’t have anything to do with The license that is given other kinds of gamb- ling makes Louisville the paradise for the ‘‘cal- culators of chances,” as Bret Harte calls tiem. All the fines that are imposed are freely remit- ted by the governor. Faro banks are almost as responsible as national banks, and have quite as much capital backing them. Winnings and losings are made at a single sitting that would Waddell, a well-known. make one’s head swim. gambler in the south, won $10,000 in two hours. Major Hughes lost $3,000 on the turn of a card. A half-drunken party went into a 5th street bank a few nights ago and closed the bank up for the night, winning everything in the safe. see AR The Etiquette of J From the New York Hour. According to Honore de Balzac, only two kinds of women are permitted to make advances to men—to take that “first step” which, after all, costs very little. The women specially ex- cepted from the general rule are queens and ac- tresses, and, with all due respect for the throne and for the stage, it must be admitted that members of these two privileged classes have, in many cases, profited largely by the per- mission accorded to them. Queens and actresses—meaning, in the latter case, queens of the theater, and not the whole crowd of women and girls who have entered upon the dramatic career—are surrounded vy homage; so that what on the part of other women would be active selection, is but passive selection on theirs. They are in no way exposed to the ignominy of a rebuff. A queen, more- ever, is strictly forbidden by etiquette to receive an unbidden declaration of love, or a spon- taneous invitation of any kind. From a dancing partner toa partner for life sne must signify her choice, As much cannot be said of the prima donna or of the great tragic or comic actress, But, whether it should be so or not, the queens of the stage, while exposed to at least as fierce alicht as that which “beats upon a throne,” stand equally with the enthroned ones above the reach of conventional etiquette. arriage. #,TROPOLITAN—CORNER OF ATLAN- tie and Fisth aventies, Atiant'o City, near Bi} warm Camden and Atlantic trains sto) atthe door.

The English sparrows, which have been con- demned In this state to extermination, twitter as incessantly as ever, and, notwithstanding the law which permits persons to kill them by the wholesale, there has been no general onslaught made upon them. “It is much easier,” sald a scientist, who has assisted in the crusade against the sparrows, “to make a law than it fs to make away with the little pests.

Speciel dispatch to Tus Evetxa Sra, CoLumBvs, O.,June 19.—The democratic leaders are arriving in large numbers on every train, and before the day of the preliminary organization all the delegates and prominent politicians in the Party will be on hand. General vurbin Ward, who, it is claimed, has the largest number of delegates, arrived last night and is mixing freely with the statesmen as they arrive. Mr. Allen W. Thurman, son of Senator Thurman, 1s doing great work for Ward, and evidently taking @ personal interest in the Nght, which now prom- ises to be a most stubborn one, Mr. Thurman say that Ward will have 14 of the delegation from “this county and that his friend is gaining ground every hour. JUDGE THURMAN WORKING FOR WARD. Another friend of Gen. Ward says: “You have ‘no idea what interest old Judge Thurman ts tak- ing in this fight. Heretofore he was hard to ap- Proach, but now he isdoing his level best. He sent for me this morning and said: ‘1 am not able to get around much, but bring all the Ward dele- gates tomy house you want to,and if you find any wavering come at any hour, day or night, and I will be on deck.?”” “HOADLY WILL BE NOMINATED.” Charlie Vallandigham says: “Hoadly will be nominated. Of course the indications now are that Ward has the most delegates, but it will be found that Hoadly has the organization, Only his delegation have the staying qualities You must understand that Gen.

Although Ward may at the present time appear to have the most delegates, Hoadly has a better organization than any gubernatorial candl- date ever went into a conventton with in Ohio.” ANOTHER POLITICIAN OF CONSIDERABLE PROMI- NENCE says: “The secret of Mr. Thurman’s entering this fight for Gen’l Ward can be traced back to the na- tional democratic convention three years ago, at which Thurman’s friends claim Hoadly was the cause of his being defeated for the presidential nomination.” “What of Judge Geddes?” “He nae I presume, about sixty delegates, A majority, it 1s sald, will vote for Ward should Geddes withdraw; butthen, what aman has got now and what he will have on Thursday is a very reais rope Sanda Hoadly’s f Archbishop Sands 1s managing Hoadly’s forces, and he 1s too slick to be caught napping. peatetiassh sa tooo Pennsylvania Democrats.

The prosecution expected to prove that $50,000 were raised and issued in Washington to fix these con- tracts in the interest of the contractors.

San Anronro, June 12—The court martial for the trial of Major James R. Wasson heard the accused paymaster's statement this morning. Major Wasson was pale, but stood erect and spoke with a firm voice. He began by saying that he was charged with the gravest offense that could be laid agatnst him as disbursing agent of the government. He acknowledged himself guilty of wrong-doings which Justify the charges—“ot acts upon which,” he said, “I can only look with horror.” This was his recital of the beginning of his offenses: Early in last January, for the first time during my stay in Galveston, T Joined a party of gentle- men in a social game of cards, having no idea that it would prove more serious tan such games as are played among gentlemen, where amusement and pastime are the object. However, during the evening the stakes were increased, and, having lost more than I expected or intended, I was weak enough to remain, hoping that my fortune would turn. But the play went steadily adverse to me, and atthe close Iwas a loser to the amount of | Several hundred dollars. I yielded to the delusire idea that I had had unsually bad luck, and was led to again, thinking such Ill fortune would not always betide me. The result was I found myself a loser to the amount, alto- gether, of nearly $2.000—a larger sual than had immediate command of I was to leave the city soon, and the idea of leaving this debt unpaid Was exceedingly repugnant to me, and it was here that I made my first fatal error. Was to have by the end of the month a sum of money of my own larger than would suMice for the payment Of Unis debt. I therefore resolved to draw irom my public funds enough to pay these obliga- tions with, as I felt certain of being able to replace the amount before it would be required, ahd de- luded myself into thinking that if so returned no harm would result. But being perfectly innocent of any intention to actually wrong the govern- ment by the use of the money fora few days, thiol moreover, it would be a less evil todo this than to let this debt of honor, as I deemed it, stand over, and thus bring me under reproach in the minds’ of the gentlemen with whom I had played, I made my first step in wrong-doing. On mny return to Galveston I found, to my horror, that the full sum I was expecting to have there was not forthcoming, and that all my available cash would not make good the sum withdrawn. The last day of the month was at hand,when my accounts must balance, or my improper use of the money be dis- covered. I then committed my second act of folly by de- Positing with the fundsI bad brought back from my payment all my own available cash, and tak- ing credit on my January account current for cer- taln collections (which really I did not deposit till afew days later), I gained time to renew efforts to make up the remaining deficiency. Stung by my losses and the predicamert I found myself in, I played again, and again lost. 80, to make this part of the history no longer than ne- cessary, by the end of February I was behind $2,500. But up to that time, and until I had to start on my next pay trip, I was endeavoring all the while to raise the money personally. To gain tme I drew the check for $2.50) on the assistant treasurer at New York and deposited it to my offi- clal credit in Galveston, but not dropping it from my New York balance till the next week—to such expedients had I been driven by my folly. When he started on his pay trip in March the sum had grown to $3,000. The quarterly Inspec- Uon was to take place on his return, and the de- partment inspector accompanied him back. Still the expected money gave him confidence, but it had not come. Of this crisis he said that the in- spector was to go over his accounts next day, and he resorted to a petty trick, for which he “utterly loathed and despised” himself; but he got a breathing time, and “was led to make again the jous attempt to recoup my losses at cards. Again my fatal luck followed me, 80 that when I had to start away, near the end of April, I had, instead of reducing my shortage, added to it till the amount was near! now desperate. My brain reel Then he resolved upon the crowning act of folly. By a ruse he made the inspector and his messen- ger believe he had all bis money in his yall (though it was left behind in bis office,) and Ing to get make thei $18,000 he had gone too far to retreat than he saw that an exami- nation of his accounts would betray the very ir- regularities he sought to hide, ‘he court was ¥! his first missteps.
