WILSON RESUMES. When the principal actors in this gambling trial had been sufficiently refreshed to renew their legal exertions young Mr. Wiison returned to his position in the witness box and continued his testimony. ‘Mr. Wilson testified that he saw Sir William Gordon Cumming cheat again. He (the baronet) bad » £5 counter on the table, and directly he discovered that the card turned up was favorable to him he pushed a £2 counter forward with a pencil, which he held in his hand, and was paid £7. The witness than detailed the subsequent conversation which he had with Mr. Berkeley Levett in the latter's bed room, saying that when he told the latter of what he (the witness) had seen while the baronet- Ginred, bance Mr. Levett exclaimed: “My , to think of Lieut. Col. Sir William Gordon Cumming be- ing caught cheating at cards.” MRS. WILSON INFORMED. Continuing, he said: ‘I asked: ‘What on earth are we to do?’ To this Mr. Levett re- plied: ‘For goodness sake don't ask me. He is in my own regiment end was my own captain. What am I to do?” Later on Mr. Arthur Wilson said: “T then told my mother of what I had seen, and mother said: ‘For goodnéss sake don't have a scandal here.’ Ithen told her that I would have » proper table prepared for baccarat playing, so that a repetition of the conduct we bad ob- served would be rendered impossible.” Referring to a question on the subject, young Mr. Wilson said that there was absolutely no | agreement to watch Sir William Gordon Cum- ming’s play on the second night of the baccarat playing (September 9). The table used for arat on that occasian was a long pantry table covered with green baize. Av upon the previous night, the Prince of Wales occupied the position of bunker and Gen. Owen Williams acted as croupier. ‘The witness Lelieved that the plaintiff again hada paper and some of his counters on the table. “He had other counters in the breast pocket of his drews coat. The plaintiff, added the witness, bad a long, thick carpenter's pencil in hii pencil the words ““Trauby Croft” were stamped, Sir William Gurdon Cumming staked a £5 counter and the Prince of Wales gave cards to Lady Coventry, who ‘ook seven, which was considered a good card, from the pack. LOOKED AT LADY COVEYTRY'S CARDS. The plaintiff, nccording to the witness, looked over Lady Coventry's band, and he (the wit- ness) then saw Sir William's hand go out and gradually advance toward the white line marked on the baccarat table. Continning, Mr. Wilson said, amid such breathless silence upon the part ‘of everybody else in the court room thet literally the drop- ping of a pin would have been hesrd, that it then came around to the Prince of Wales’ turn to take « card, and he took one and said: “Iam baccarat,” ‘the card being bad. Immediately upon hearing this, witness, slowly, said the “Sir Wm. Gordon Cum- ming pushed’ just over the line a £10 counter. It was four inches away from the original £5 counter. ‘Tho plaintiff's tableaux won and the Prince of Wales paid bim a “fiver” (£5 note) overlooking the other counter which the plaintiff had pushed over the line. Thereupon Sir William Gordon Cumming exclaimed: “Beg pardon, sir, there is another ‘tenner’ (£10 note) here, which you have forgotten. “The Prince of Wales, saying ‘I wish you would put your stakes forward more conspicu- ously,’ paid the additional £10. FLICKED A COUNTER OVER THE LINE. “Later in the game,” said the same witness, “Sir William Gordon Cumming flicked another counter over the line with his pencil. When the disclosures ere made the Prince of Walos questioned Sir William Gordon Cumming, Mr. Berkeley Levitt and M. Lycett Green in regerd to what they saw of a wrong nature during the bacca- rat playing and Mr. Green asked to be con- fronted with the plaintiff.” HAD NEVER SAID ANYTHING. Replying to further questions Mr. Wil- son said that from the time he (wit- ness) had signed the precis until the action for damages brought against tho defendants was summoned, he bad never said a word to anybody in connection wita the af- fair known as the “baccarat scandal.” Upon cross-examination the witness said that he had no occupation and that he had been at Cambridge University for a year, “but,” he added. “my father thought it only a waste of time my staying there.” Roars ot laughter a: Mr. Wilson followed this admissioa. In answer to further questions during hi cross-eramination Mr. Wilion said that bu rat was played at Tranby Croft in 1889, father objected to it, and it wi played there again until the occasion of the ‘rince of Wales’ visit in September, 1890." ae BALTIMORE AND POTOMAC RAILROAD. expense Annual Meeting—Election of Directors and Officers—Washivgton Kepresented.

Postmaster Hart of Boston called on Poet- master General Wanamaker recently and stated that the business of his office demanded an increase in the clerical force as well as in the number of the carriers. Mr. Wanamaker has directed Maj. Pollock, the chief of the free delivery sorvice, and Mr. Scott, the chief of the salary and allowance division, to go to Boston and make an investigation into the needs of the service in that city. The Boston postmaster, among other things, considers that sixty-four additional letter carriers are needed in order to properly serve the postal wants of ‘the people of Boston. OTHER CITIES CLAMOROUS. While this is true of Boston, the same de- mand for more clerks and more carriers comes from other cities. Chicago, for example, wants 800 additional letter carriers. Altogether if the demands from the offices throughout the country are acceded to there will be at least 1,000 addi- tional letter carriers appointed on the let of July next. This would increuse the army of letter carriers to about 11,100 men. Congress, however, only appropriated sufficient money for the employment of 450 additional letter carriers and if this number could be distributed round there would be no difficulty. But ac- cording to the figures of the lust census there are seventy-five towns where the population is sufficient to bring them within the legal limits of towns which have a right to the free delivery service. Allowing four carriers to each of these towns, there would be left only 150 carriers to supply the demand, which now aggregates about one thousand. 4X EQUITABLE DISTRIBUTION TO BR MADE. It is therefore very evident to the Post Office Department ofticiuls thatall the cities and towns are not going to get as many carriers as they have asked for and that they will be compelled to get slong as well as they oan with substan- tially their present force. In endeavoring to distribute the additional men as equitably as possible an effort will be made to inquire into the newds of the service in the various cities, as wellas theefticiency of the prevent force. It is found that in some cities there are more carriers in proportion to the Population than in others and an attempt will made to learn the causes of this difference. sone PSE Bee The Wasp Under a New Name.

They first ascertain the locality in which the animals congregate to graze, and then the men, women and children of the tribe make extensive preparations to hem in the herd. In order to cause stamped they blow horns, yell and make other bewilder ing and outlandish noises. As a natural conse- quence the frightened dee- quit their grazing places. They form in line in regular marching | order, the elder males leading the way, followed by the females and young, while the rear of the column is brought up by the young bucks, who act as protectors to the centers. ‘The indians now close in upon them, seeing which the animals preparoto do battle for their lives. The hunters then proceed to prepare the instruments of destruction, consisting of large lances, resinous torches and nooses fixed to long poles. The worst enemy of the deer is the jaguar and wildest, and their animosity to them is such that they have been known to leap over @ hunter in order to attack either of these feli: foes. The Indians, knowing tits, employ it to great advantage during these hunts. The women stuffa number of jaguar and cat skins, which are placed in prominent. posi- tions on the edges of precipices in full view of the deer. Immediately the bucks make a vio- lent eifort to get at them in order to hurl them into the abyss beneath, but are thus treated themselves by the wily hunters, who pitch them over the cliff, where they arc quickly bamstrung oF otherwise disabled “by the women, who are stationed below. After the first onslaught on the stuffed figure the remuining deer seem to recognize the fact that they have been tricked and huddle to- gether awaiting another attack. Then the Iridians throw lighted torches among them anda panic ensues. They make desperate efforts to escape, but the relentless hunters drive them over the crags until they see thata sufficient number have been capt- ured—generally four or five hundred. They do not usually-harm the females and fawns, and also allowa few bucks to escape. Very seldom is a doe killed, and if ache fawn is captured it is immediately liberated. ‘The flesh is eaten by the Indians and also carried to the villages to be old; while the skins are either purchased by dealers or made up into various articlos by those who assisted in their capture. Sees To Whom do Prescriptions Belong? From the British Medical Journal. ‘The law lays down no rule as to the formali- ties to be observed by a practitioner when pre- soribing for a patient, and he may, and often does, prescribe perfectly well by merely giving verbal directions to be observed by his patient, When, howover, those directions include the use of any particular drugs, it is usual and con. venfent to put them into writing, oo that the patient may not make any mistake in ordering the drugs which he is advised to use. The use of giving s written prescription does not affect the property in the piece of paper given to the patient. It is his the moment he receives it, ‘unless by custom or by special agreement it belongs to someoneelse. A custom to be good in law must be general, and there is no custom as that @ prescription’ belongs to any one ex- cept the patient at present known in England. ‘The paper, therefore, belongs to the patient unless he with his medical attendant that it shall not. It is, of course, open to any stipalate that his prescriptions shall belong to himeelt, or shallonly be made up by a particu- lar chemist, who shall destroy the paper as s00n ws he has used it, but it is equally open to each of his patients to decline to. be bound by jpulation and to do what he chooses Paper when once he has got it. such stipulations should be clearly brought to the notice of the patients before they conrult their medical advisers, so us to give them the option; if only mentioned after the prosorip- hhas been given they would not be-binding. sorachuibhnatien-</udadachaiar cs Otten Seen in Hotels, ‘From the New York Tribune. “There is a man,” said the hotel clerk, “who “espe, to Mi MITTING THE PIPE.

The Chinamen's “pig tails” were all tied about their beads. The trials of Hip ‘Wah and Lung Sing Lung had been set for trial and that was the attraction. Au 308 NoT THERE.

Mr. Shillington questioned witness about the hall of the Gallilean Fishermen and witness said that the hall was about 200 feet from his dyeing establishment, but there is no noise there that he kuows of. Witness told of the boys calling “rats” at the Chinaman and tho latter running after them.

Sec is FORTY THOUSAND COLLEGE GIRLS They Are Acquiring Calm Nerves, Good Friends and New Accomplishments. From the Boston Transcript. “Forty thousand girls are now studying in the colleges of this country, cust, west, north and south,” said Mrs. Alice Freeman Palmer, speaking before the Melrose Women's Club yesterday on the relation of girls’ college life to the American home. “It is imposeible that these numbers of well- educated women, and the increasing numbers yet tocome, should not have a tremendous in- fluence in the homes of the future. Of course itis early yet to judge much of the effect on the homes of the college education of women. It is only twenty-five years since the first col- leges were opened to women. All except the very few earliest graduates are still young women, and really the answer to the question chiefly with the 40,000 girls now studying the women’s and co-edueation colieges. Mrs. Palmer said that the question, which was once constantly asked, if it “pays” toeducate a girl, is by no means prehistoric. “What good will it do her if she gets married?” is still’ fro- quently asked her by the parents of girls who are asking to go to college.

The Efforts of the B. and O. and Washington and Western Roads to Reach Georgetown, A New York paper this morning just found outa fact which was printed in Tux Sran some months ago, that is, that the Baltimore and Ohio road in @ very short tin be pos- sessed of a full southern connection. The same the Washington and Western road pro- posed to extend their line into Washington. The real facts in both cases are wellknown to the readers of Tue Srax. The Baltimore and Ohio is asmured of an entrance into Washington, or rather into Georgetown, and likewise of southern connection if aatixf tory arrangements can be made with the necessary connecting roads, On the other hand the Washington and West- eruis by nomeans certain of getting intoGeorge- town, excepting through an arrangement with the Baltimore and Ohio. A bill to allow an en- trance to the Washington and Western road came within an ace of passing at the last Con- gress. The bill was not antagonized by either the Baltimore and Ohio or the Chesapeake ai Obio canal, but failed on account of bein, omnibused with the projected road mf the canal. It was supposed at the time th the Baltimore and Obio wished to use bridge which the Washington and West- ern road would build and part of their line for their long longed-for southern connection. When the bill failed, however, both roads were thrown on other resources. The Baltimore and Ohio bad already laid the foundation for their trip | south by getting Congress to pass bill allowing the Metropolitan Southern road to extend its tracks over the government property at the reservoir in Montgomery | county. This brought the Baltimore aia Obto | to the District line at Chain bridge. Here th found o railroad, on paper, chartered by Congress to run from the Aqueduct to the Chain bridge. Arrangements were promp' mt on foot to construct this road, the altimore and Ohio to have a lease. At the Aqueduct bridge the _ Baltimore and Obio found waiting for _ them | another chartered road, the Georgetown Barge, Dock and Elevator Company, which brought | | the line, if wished, clear into Georgetown. Negotiations . between the Barge and Dock | Company aud the Baltimore and Ohio Rail- road Company have been going on for | |some time, while surveys have Leen com- | menced and carried to some length on the por- tion of the line between the Chsin and Aque- duct bridges. It is rather expected that the | Baltimore and Ohio will not do much with its Georgetown brauch ix the way of passenger | business, at least at present. A bridge will be built across the Potomac below the falls, and counection be made with the new tracks. ‘The road on the Virginia side may join there with the Washington and West- ern. Atany rate it will get south, the main polut 1 is thought, being ‘a junction with the kichmond and Denvilie road. Passengers from Washington on the Baltimore and Obio | going south will then leave the present station, | and after passing around Washington come out on the Votomac below the falis and go on southwardly indefinitely. acess NO EXPLANATION NECESSARY, The Controller's Statement as to His Action in the Matter of the Philadelphia Banks.
