From the Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette. ““What are the chances against a player in & square game of faro!" the reporter asked of an old gambler who stood on Smithfield stieotlamenting therestrictions that were placed on his business by the Pittsburg police. 7 “Agninst a sucker —a ‘producer’ 1 mean?”’ inquired the gambler. I mean the clerk or merchant that drops in to tackle the game,” said the re- porter. “Well, that's what we call the ‘pro duc the sport explained, and then went on. *“That's the class that produces the wealth that makes gambling a busi- ness. It is the ‘producer’s’ money that keeps the game going. The chance he has of winning, with nothing against him, and if he hasn't got a system, and isn’t betting high, are about one out of two, or, inay be, two out of five—that is, he will lose in two out of three or in three out of five plays against the bank, and, no mat- ter how often he wing, he is sure to be a dead loser in the end. If he plays big, and has a system, the dealer soon gets on toit. 1 ho is struck on a card, or plays ‘three on a side,’ or ‘odd and even,’ or ‘both ends against the middle,’ it will tike the dealer no time to find it out, and, as it is his duty to project the bank, he will shuffle the cards so as to lay the player out eold. The vlayer generally sticks to his system and hasno chance. If there are # r of persons playing, of course it is d ult for the dealer to handle the cards in this way, but often the numerous players soen at the table are staked players, who are playing with the bank’s money, and of whom the dealer takes no notice, as it makes no difference whether they win or not, so his whole attention can bo given to the producer. In neatly every bank they have a lot of cappers Ymuging around, and when a pro- comes in they are ‘staked’ to start the game. card by the ear.’ roller, time. In that case the dealer puts it on its proper pile, but if the player is win- ning, Jm ealer will throw this card down carelessly, so that it doesn't lay squarely on the pile, Pretending to straighten them up, he would slip the card under the pile, and then shuftle them so that 1 the next deal the player’s chances are t lose, if the player wins again, the dealer will again tako -the card by the car. Theso things cannot be dono where there are anumber of genuine players, for in that case it makes little difference to the wi ing each other’s money and the bank hav- ing the benefit of the splits. “And is this what you call a square game?” **Why, of course; all this is done mere- ly to protect the bank, which must have somo protection. In a brace game the player stands no more show of winning than he does of swallowing a lightning rod. In the square game there is no more show Lor BuL every player hus i sys rem with which he expects to break the bank, and finds in the end the truth of the saying there never was a system the dealer couldn't beat.

I was working as a clork at A. T. Stewart's retail house, when a rich- ly-dressed motherly-looking old lady came in, Her carriage and footman were at the door. She bought goods all along, small purchases, and remained some time looking at the laces. I noticed particular- ly that she had the whole counter cover- *| ed with the finest goods in the house, 1 went on with my work, but presently my attention was attracted toward the door by some noise, and I saw the ld lady suing out. She had just reached the oor when onp of the private detectives they have about Stewart's laid his hand on her armand led her into one of the private rooms, It was soon whispered the women was a notorious shop-lift- er. 1 read an account of her in nll the papers the next morning.

Herclothes were taken off by one of the lady clorks and several hundred dollars’ worth of laces and sill s were found on her. The aflair created a great deal of talk in New York, and the authorities succeeded in rooting out a gang of thieves, All the largo stores there have private detectives, whose busi- ness it is to watch everyone who comes in.

A New Mode of Pile-Driving, Engincering News, A framework with hoisting fall some- what similar to the ordinary pile-driver was uged i ing the pile in position ready for sinking; two tubes, cach two inches in diameter, with the lower ends bent inward toward the point of the piles, were attached to the pile by iron staples; at the upper end each pile was connected by a short section of rubber hose to other pipes connected with the city water main, h water supply was in this case under a pressure of four atmospheres. Tho piles usually sank by their own weight into the hole formed by the water jot, us soon as tho valve was opencd, making conngction between the tubes on the pile and the water main. To hasten the rate of settlement, a vertical iron bar three feet long was set into a holo bored in the head of the pile, and upon this were placed iron weights of 200 pounds each, us the resistanco might require. Piles twelve inches in diameter were sunk in this way to a depth of fifteen feet in ten mihutes' time, The least time required for a depth of fifteen feet was two minutes; the longest time for the same depth was thirty minutes, As long as the water jet was in operation at the foot of the pile it was possible to give the pilo a rotary motion, and thus facili- tate the descent; but as soon as the jet was stopped the pile became im- movable. As a proof of their stability a dead weight of fifty tons was applied to wome of them, and it was found that their resistance was entirely independent of the time consumed in sinking them. To sink twenty piles by this method requir- ed the use of about 2,000 gallons of water; seven or eight laborers were employed, and one gang put down from six to four- teen piles per day. e Nervousness, Nervous Debility, Neuralgia, Nervous Shock, St. Vitus Dance, Prostration, and all diseases of the Nerve Generative Or- Ennl, are all pormanently and radically cuared y Allen's Brain Food, “the t botanical remedy, 81 pkg., 6 for 85,—At drugpists, e A Very Bashful Bridegroom, Savansh News.

A Quaint Prize Fighter Who to Be over Four-Score: Livea New York Times “‘Uncle Billy” Tovee, who was proba- bly better known among the boxers and pugilists of the country than any other man, unless it be Harry Hill, was buried yesterday from his late residence, No. 5 Myrtlo avenue, Brooklyn, He died on Sunday last, but the news of his death waas not received in this city until yester- day, and was then accompanied with the information of his funeral. For this reason, although he had for the past half-century officiated as master of cere- monies at nearly a thousand sparring ox- hibitions and matches, there were com- paratively few of the men for whom he had called *‘time” present at the funeral ceromonies. The most prominent of theso were Harry Hill, Joe Coburn, Bill Tracy, Bob Murray, and Tom Clark, and anumber of the lesser lights. *Uncle Bill," as ho was always called by sporting fraternity, was burried in Ever- green cemetry, the services being con- conducted by the Rev, George D. Hulst, of the South Bushwich Dutch Reformed ‘church, William Tovee was botn in London, England, April 26, 1802; and claimed to be one of a family of twenty-four chil- dren, the ‘offspring of one father and mother. Brought up as a sawyer, he was an agile and muscular young man, and in 1823 he fought his first fight, at Islington parish, London, with a Jad named Con- nors, whom he whipped in twenty-six minutes. In his next two fights he was both of whom he claimed were larger and heavier men than he. His most famous fight was with ono_Jack May, in which he was victorious after a battle of an hour and twenty-five minutes. The fight, which began on Islington, was broken up by the police, and was concluded im- mediately afterward on the Surrey side of the Thames. Tovee, also acted as sec- ond in some of the most famous contests on the other side of the Atlantic. He him- self took part as principal in 11 contests and wasproud of hisfeatin ‘‘knocking out” Gillett, “‘the butcher.” He came to this country in 1831, and for a time worked at his trade as a sawer. When Toveo fought John Hart in this country he had acouple of his teeth knocked out. To- vee's victories in this country were over rounds. Jermy Hart, whom he defeated in a short fight near Boston, ‘‘Scotty,” of Brooklyn who spoiled ansther of *‘Uncle Bill's” teeth, and *‘Horrible” Gardiner, whom he defeated in 1860 after a hard fought battle of thirteen rounds. During his career in the ring Tovee managed to amass quite a snug little fortune. He whipped by James Kaneand Isanc Blake, | Joseph Murphy, whom he beat in fifteen | = elaborately rvelons dexterity with the chop sticks says that lost it all, however, in an attempt to keep two public houses, the known of “which was *‘The Mistletoe Bough,” at No. 317 Pearl street, near Chatham, which was a favorite resort ‘‘of the fancy” in its palmy days, but was mevertheless a failure financially. The other hotel was at Port Richmond, Staten Island, and was known as *‘Bull's Head.” This, too, was a failure, He was also at one time the proprietor of a furniture store on Division street, near the Bowery. After failing 1 his business ventures ““Uncle Bill”became an instructor in *‘the manly art” and continued teaching up to the time of his fatal illness Up to last fall he retained his strength and agility to a wonderful degree, and early this spring he officiated as master of ceremo- nies at a benetit given to ‘‘Johnny” Cash in a hall on the Westside. Later on, it a benefit given him at Harry Hill's, he appeared in o single-handed boxing match with “Pop” Whitaker. Tovee creating much amusement by appearing in the fantastic ring costume of forty years ago. Twelve years ago, when 70 years of age, he ran seven miles at Fiuley's old track in Harlem inside of an hour. He boasted, oven up to the time of his first illness, nearly a year ago, that he could whip any man of his weight and anywhere near his age at bexing, wrestling, running, or walk His snow-white hair and whisk and bent form would hardly give color of probability to the statement, but it was a_well-known f that, in order to keep in good conditio he was in the habit of walking from his home on Myrtle avenue, Brooklyn, to the Fulton ferry, and from there to his dest - nation in this city, no matter how far up town it might be. He was always respected among his associates because of his absoluto honesty, which was perhaps a reagon for the almost extreme poverty to which he was reduced during the later years of his life. He was married three times, all of his wives having died. He leaves several children, who, with his frionds in the sporting fraternity, sup- ported the old man during the past few years of his life by giving him benefits and odd jobs of light work, for which he was well paid. This courso was pursued because he objected to being made an hobject of charity. Tovee was an_intimate friend of John C. Heenan, John W. Morrissey, Joe Goss, Mace, Allen, and other famous “‘sports.” He was a pugilist and an ad- mirer of gugiliam from shere love of the sport, and despised most of the latter-day heroes of the “‘ring” who were more in- terested in the “*gate-money” than in the contests, For a man who would not fight fair or was a coward he had the most hearty contempt and he often ex- pressed himself npunlly to such persons in a tearless way that commanded respect and shamed the object of his invective out of his sight. He was garrulous in his later years, and would gloat over his reminiscences of the days when he and a fow other bruisers would ‘‘go out of a Sunday morning into the fields and have a few little fights before breakfast,” and he would show his broken and scared knuckles as proofs of the prowess he had displaysd. The lowest among the ruftians with whom he so often was thrown in contact respected th: old man and applauded his enthusiasm. And when he rrumlcd over fights and sparring matches his decisions were respected, no matter how unpalatable, because everyone knew he was honest and could not be bought to make a false decision even when he wus }luurcut. He was exceedingly ingenuous or a man of his stamp, and his talk, though, of course, not on topics agreeable to refined ears, was never vulgar or offensi By reason of this he made himsolf liked f.y wany persons of good social standing, who took kindly to the old man and listened with intercst to his old-time reminiscences, e Another Life Saved., Mvs. Harriet Cummings, Cincinnati, Ohio, last winter my daughter was attacked overe cold which settled on her lungs. od several wedicines, uone of which seemed to do her any good, but she continued to got worse, wnd finally called in a family physician, but he failed to do her any good.
