we THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D.C GAMBLERS’ TRICKS. Means By Which Protessional Game- sters Pluck Their Victims — Faro- ling Boxes and Roulette Wheels Made tor Hogues, Prom the Philadelphia Times. No one looks upon a professional gambler as a shining example of honesty, but only few peo- Ple know what crooked-sharpers most profes- sional gamblers are or the ingenious mechan- Jeal contrivances which they employ to aid them in “winning” the dollars of their victims. The man who gaming a profession rarely or never depends upon “luck” for his exis tence. In faro, roniette, monte, hazard and in all other games known to the ge green cloth, there is a certain w “percentage” in favor of the proprietors. This ig understood by all who play, but it is so trifling that they are willing to pay it for the privilege of hazarding ther money. There is another “percentag: f these games as nderstood layed at many places that is only understood Evins promulonal dealera and t never sor: pected by the players, In the came of ‘taro the known_percentaze is very small. When two curds ofthe same de- nomination come out of the silver-plated “deal- ing-box” tozether, tl er takes one half of the bets which bh: ard on the is played yy happens tore than twice that the visible percentage is quite smail! so trifling, in fac that ifa faro game is dealt fairly it must have an almost unlimited capital or eventually be- come bankrupt. 3 CHEATING It fs to guard against this mishap and tomake the game a profitable one that the unknown Percentage is introduced. To accomplish his purpose the gambler has both the cards and dealing-box “fixed.” This “fxing” process of the cards is done as follows: A new pack is used and one in whiclevery card is of exactly the same size, to a hair's breadth. There Is an almost imperceptible difference in the sizes ot the cards in nearly all cheap packs, so that the mbler buys for bis purpose expensive cards hat have been “squared” especially for faro. ‘The first step in “tlxing” is to separate the low and high ex it is, to put in separate piles nm the ace to the six and from the AT FARO. eishttot en being neither hig! nor low 1, twosevens being put With the high and two with the low cards. Then With a pair of shar; . made especially for this purpose, the gambler clips a thin slip from dge of each The high eards are din this way from the upper right-hand corner toa point on the lower edge about the thirty-s ipartof an ineh from the lower Fight-hand corner. The low ecards are clipped in the ec ‘Xcept that the gambler com- ences at lower right-hand corner and near the right The cards now are wider at one end at the other, but the difference in width is cht as to be almost imperceptible, exc tothe touch. The cards are then shuflied, being taken to keep the wide ends of the hich cards and the wide ends of the low opposite ends of the pack. It is an eas ter now for an expert manipulator to cat wide ends of the cards between his thumbs and forefingers and so draw all of the high cards into one hand and the low ones into the other. When the game is In progress the dealer shu! fles the cards thoroughly and then in this way separates the high from the low. Next he so Shuflles them as to“<andwich” each low and high card and when the pack is in the dealing- box they should come out alternate FRAUD IN THE DEALING-BOX. This wouldn't suit the dealer at all,ashe must not only know just how the cards are ar- Yariged but at the same time have perfect con- trol over them. In order that hemay have this power a specially-arranged dealing-box is pro- cured. The ordinary dealing-boxes have a slit in the side just wide enough to admit of one passing through itat atime; the special boxes havta slit wide enough to allow two eards to pass easily through them. Armed with these simple contrivances, all the dealer has to dois to watch where the bets are and Win every time by either shoving out one card Or two, a5 oceasion requires. If a player bets that a high card will win, the dealer ean very easily make it lose or vice versa, Of course, the ame keeper isa confederate and at a Sign m the dealer can tell how to arrange the “cases” so that they will tally with the cards thatare out. This is what iS called a “brace ame,” probably because it ean only be success- fuily ‘worked by a “brace” of rogues, Tho sands of aro players who think that luck is always against them are simply victims of the “brace game.” CHEATING MADE EASY. Dealing-boxes and cards prepared in this way can be procured from a Chicago firm, which issues private catalogues to gamblers contain- ing samples of marked cards, with directions for reading the backs. The firm alsosells roulette Wheels so arranged as to make the red Invaria- bly win if the wheel is turned in one direction and the black win if turned in the other. These are known among gamblers as “right and le Wheels,and are used with great success in many ce Wheels of fortune, with cunningly arrai brakes so that they can be stopped at the will of the dealer or “turner,” are successfully used throughout the west. With these aids and with the dexterity and legerdemain which all expert gamblers know how to use, it is little wonder that they should succeed in fleecing the unsuspecting lainbs who are enticed into their dens.

HE MEANT WELL. Bat it Didn’t Work. From the New York Times. There is not the least doubt that when Mr, Hawkins invented his Rink Protector he meant well. is unanimous in declaring that he is an excep- tionally benovelent man, and if the rink pro- prietor really persists in making Mr, Hawkins pay for the chandeliers it will be an unjust and contemptible act. The idea of the Rink Protector rred to Mr. Hawkins one morning when he hid accom- panied the young ladies of his Bible class to a popular skating tink. There were seventeen of these young ludies,and as Mr, Hawkins leaned against « pillar ‘and watched them fall ing, either separately or in masses, and sustain- ing’ much apparent and probably greater invisi- njuries, he was filled with compassion, and asked himself {f something could not be done to render unnecessary such a painful. spectacle of sweet girls jangied out of tune. The concep- tion of the Rink Protector suddenly occurred to him, and he resolved to give it to the world without de ‘That rhoon Mr. Hawkins took a small nk and experimented with him for riyan hour. He ascertained that when a skater is betrayed by his skates he elther sits down violently, thereby jarring his spinal col- umn, or he kneels with equal violence and rans the Tisk of fracturing his knee caps. With these facts at his command Mr. Hawkins read- ily perceived that his contemplated Rink Pro- orshould meet a double want. It should made to protect the knees as well as the 1 column. Mr, Hawkins therefore gave self to the study of the capabilities of india and in the course of the week he had patented under the general name of Hawkin’s Rink Protector two strong india rubber air cushions, to be fitted toa skater’s knees, and a larger air eushion to be worn in the place of an ordinary “Dress Improver.” Mr. Hawkins has a daughter, a young lady weighing 120 pounds. He had never perinitted her to visit the rink, but he now informed her that if she would wear his Rink Protector she might skate all Saturday afternoon, As the Rink Protector could be worn by Miss Hawkins without attracting attention, she gladly agreed to her father’s terms, and 6n Saturday after- noon last accompanied him to the rink, where he proposed to see his new invention put to a tinal test. Miss Hawkins, curiously enough, managed to keep her feet for nearly ten minutes alter putting on her skates, but at the expiration of that time she became less cautious, and in another moment she sat down with tremendous violence. ‘The air cushion did its duty. The fair wearer, the moment she struck the floor, rebounded ‘in away that to the spectators seemed supernatural, The chandelier was fully fifteen feet above the floor, but Miss Hawkins struck it with a terrible’ crash. Descending amid fragments of broken glass the unfortunate young lady struck on her knees, and again re- hounded, but this time atan angle of forty de- grees with the floor. In her aerial flight she mowed down twelve girls and eight men, and had she not fortunately struck the wall ‘with her head—which was not elastic—she might have inflicted still further damage. Of course, this experiment proved that Haw- kins’ Rink’ Protector was not a desirable thing, but it certainly did not prove that Hawkins was actuated by a desire to injure the rink proprie- tor, and the conduct of the latter in suing Mr. Hawkins for the value of the chandelier, and in denouncing him asabad and malicious man, cannot be too severely condemned by all who Judse men by thelr motives and not by thelr mistakes. Ey _——— A Winter Climate That Has Its Faults. From the Philadelphia Pres This brings me to speak about my experience of the climate of Manitoba. The variations of temperature are very great. I have seen the thermometer stand at 125 degreesinside a tent in summer, and at 58 degress below zero, or 90 degrees below freezing point, outside the house in winter. Such arctic cold would be un- endurable if the air were not so wonderfully dry and clear, and often very still, that it docs not seem halfas cold as it really is. Then the changes of weather are not generally very sudden; the heat and cold are very regular, and in’ mid-seasons the thermometer does not fluctuate much. ‘The snow outside our house fs from six to ten feet deep from November to April. Moccasins, made by Indians of moose skin,are used in: ‘tead_ of shoes to cover the feet, which are first d in several pairs of stockings. We were forced to melt snow for all the water we used last winter. ‘Thecold fs so intense that when melted snow water is poured from the holler Into a pall, and taken at. once across to the stable, the {ce on it frequently has to be broken with a stick before the cattle can drink. It 1s rather a common sight to see people partly frozen. The part affected turns as white as mar- ble, and loses all feeling. Unless you see your- self in a glass, or are told of it, you are not con- scious of being frozen. In this plight tts bes not to go near a fire, a8 sudden thawing is very painful, People generally try friction, rubbing es with snow, of, beiter still, with par- oil. Occasionally,’ when one ‘is frozen, and far from help, the part frozen, ifan extrem: ity, will snap off, ‘Last year a man living about thirty miles from us was told that his car was frozen; he put up his hand to feel, and the ear dropped off in his hand. Limbs sometimes have to be amputated from severe frostbites, My kitten’s ears froze and broke off last winter, and a neighbor's pony lost his earsin the same way. I Was surprised when I first found the mustard freeze in my mustard pot, which stood afoot from the kitchen stovepipe and two feet above the stove, where there was a blazing fire all day andevery day through the winter. Yet the mustard froze between every meal. To a Wyman the most trying part of a winter in Manitoba is not its severity—for you live in a warm hotse—but its length. Snow lay on the ground last season forsix months and a half, and the great lakes were frozen. eee: Early Dentistry. From the Hartford (Conn.) Post. “At the date of my earliest recollection den- th try as now practiced was unknown. Teeth were extracted by regular practicing physi ans generally, and their only outfit was an in- strument known as the'turnkey’ or‘hawk’s bill.’ It was constructed like a common nail gimlet with a moveable hook at theend, which could be turned so as to seize upon any tooth what- ever its position; then by a twisting motion the offending molar was rolled out, In country places where physicians Were sparsely located, men in various occupations would keep a ‘turn- and perform the service. In one instance iknow of a lady who acquired the reputation of \u expert at the business and had quite an ex- tensive practice. The first artificial tooth which | Lever saw was inserted by an itinerant dentist, It was secured uj n a metal pivot or dow * pivot was foreed Into the stump ofa d tooth. They were made from ivory orcattle’s teeth, and sometimes secured on wood instead | of metal pivots, In 1835 there were in this city but three professional dentists, Not fur from that time some one had secured two or | more teeth toa metalic spring which clasped | the adjoining teeth In such @ manner a2 to hold them in position, That was thought to be a wondertul achievement and was pro- claimed to the world. In that year there were slaughtered at one place near this city several isundred head of eattle for barreling, and cart- loads of heads were piled near the slaughter- house. I saw one of those dentists approach them with a saw and siek and select such speci- mens as suited him, He then sawed off the under jaws containing the teeth, which he de- sired, and after Milling his sack he put them into "his buggy and departed. Somebody mouth was dotibtless ornamented with those teeth, and they took satisfaction in showing their ‘ivory.’ Since that period Ishall not at- tempt to describe the inventions, progress and improvement in the science, for I am utterly incapable. Instead of three we now have twenty-three of the profession in this city.” ——— 9. Some Questions in Everyday Life. From the Ladies’ Home Journal. What is one’s social duty? Often we hear one friend ask this question of another. Is one social duty done by accepting and giving invi- tations? What do we bind ourselves to in ac cepting the hospitality of a friend or acquaint- ance? Is our duty by her done when we have entered the portal of our hostess and have iven her greeting? Do we owe anything to her is? It we are aman, do wedo our duty when We neglect speaking to the ladies whom we know? If we see a chance when we can be of ice to our hostess in making things pleasant and agreeable for her, is not that our duty to be ready and happy to do her bidding or even to anticipate it? If we are a Woman our er to do more than to make ourselves as ible as we may is limited. We can then only be kind, generous and considerate of other women as it comes in our way, We canpot seek the opportunities of being polite and making the happiness of those about us as men can.

SOME OF THE QUEER TRICKS AND INTELLI- GENT ACTS THAT THEY DO, From the New York Herald. The pride of the fire laddie ts the engine,truck or horse, to which he is attached, and to have these look ag well as possible he considers not only a duty, but a source of pleasure and grati- | fication. This pride, however, he extends par- ticularly to the horses, The captain and men ofengine company No. 10, at No.8 Stone street, are pardonably proud and enthusiastic over the good points in their engine team. There is perhaps no other company in the city which ean show a superior ber of horses. The ani- mals in question took the first prize at the ex- hibition in Madison Square Garden in October, 1583, and visitors to the station are shown a magnificent double set of silver mounted har- hess awarded to Jim and Nigger, as this famous team is called. The harness is used only on special occasions, as on parades, and each set is valued at $150 to $175. When Nigger is asked ifhe is fond of sugar he gracefully nods his head to his questioner. If asked what he would do with it he tks his lips together in a manner that leaves no doubt in the mind of any one but that he perfectly understood the query and could appreciate ‘a lump or two of the sweet. Not a day goes by that brokers and bankers and men from the produce exchange do not drop in with lumps of sugar in their pockets to “treat” these intelli- entanimals. They are not allowed to give hem too much taffy, for fear of sickening them, and Captain dison and his men have to look out that the itorses are not Killed with kindness, Itis said that Nigger Knows to a second the time for the daily “hitch up” and watches the progress of the hands of the clock for minutes betore twelve o'clock noon. At this time also they are fed, and for some time before the aiarm ‘rings out Nigger manifests impatience by standing with his fore feet and giving utterance to a succession of short whin- nies. He is joined in these actions by Jim, who isnot ina position to see the clock, but evi- dently takes the eue from nis companion. When asked to take his place at the appara- tus without the alarm being rung Nigger lifts his hoof and unlocks the spring catch which holds his rein and trots out. of his stall, going back again to his place as obediently as _a child when Wold todo so. Ifasked to beg for his feed or tor sugar or cake he raises his right or lett forelez, us he may be desired, and paws the air until he gets the expected morsel. Dozens of other accomplishments Nigger has been suc- cessfully taught, and his intelligence is only equalled by his docility and gentleness, While the reporter was taking notes and talking to his driver Nigger quietly unhitched him: elt, and, walking over to where: the reporter was talking, caught hold of the notebook in his teeth and attempted to bear it away, as if, in his great modesty, he did not wish to. be made the subject ofa r ticularly famonu paper article. “Jin is par- sfor his way of getting under his harness, No matter how low down the collar might be placed Jim will get under it, even if he has togeton his knees.

He ts a most docile animal unless a certain restaurant keeper passing by the building leans upon the chain at the door to chat to the men. As soon as Jumbo sees him he plunges about and gives every indication of hatred for the restaurant keeper. The reason of this is not known, for to- ward others the big horse is as gentle asa lamb. The man referred to dares not yenture inside the door, for he believes that the animal's temper would be so aroused that it would break its stall rein and attack him In Engine Company No.12, on William street, the boys have an animal which opens the slid. ing doors of the house wide enough to draw out the hose cart.

The men altered the position of the cord some time ago, but Jim watched them, and, seemingly, for pure mischief, called them down three times the same evening. ‘The men of Engine No, 33, on 3d street, are very proud of a horse in thelr quarters, which they say possesses more real knowledsze of what he is expected to do than any other outside of Barnum's circus, “Bill,” said Foreman Lalor, “knows just what he is In the fire department for.

Now, if we put Bill in that stall yonder he gocs to his place between the shafts; but if he is put in this Stall beside it he goes under the engine harness.

London Letter to Boston Herald. The engagement of Gladys, Lady Lonsdale, is the latest social event. The happy man whom fate has destined to be the second husband of this unusually tall daughter of the gods is the Earl de Grey, who is a famous shot,and has won so many matches that it is not strange that he should have brought down the beautiful widow. Gladys, Lady Lonsdale, has had a brilliant but seareely a happy life. ‘The expression of her lovely, if somewhat semetic, countenance is however, above all one of insouciance. She looks as though she never had a care in her life and a8 though her first husband wasnot a dis- stpated gentlemen who spent most of his. lite yachting, and concerning whom she uttered the famous ultimatum, “I'll cure him or leave him.” Heaven spared her either alternative, and she has borne her widowhood lightly. As she is almost a giantess, with a magnificent figure, a handsome, animated face, with soft. dark eyes and coral lips, disclosing white teeth, an abun- dance of reddish brown hair, always worn in a coll of tiny braids, Gladys, Lady Lonsdale, cane not help being conspicuous, but her demeanor, while genial, Is always refined. Rumor decided that she would engage herself to Mr. Luke White, but was wrong and that strapping gen- tleman has sinee married. Then it was de- ¢lded—by rumor—that she would become my Lady Durham, in case Lord Durham succeeded in putting his wife away on the ground of in- sanity, which was mauifestly absurd, since he had known Lord Durham’ for some time, and, had he wished to, he could have pro. posed to her while he was still a bachelor. It will be remembered that Gladys, Lady Lons- dale gave evidence of an unimportant character at the recent trial of the celebrated case, and was thelady whom the noble lord jokingly proposed to kiss when traveling with her and ly Durham up to town. The publicity into which the merry widow was brought doubtless preelpitated the Earl de Grey's proposal.
