Two thousand Iarvest Home excur- nists came in yesterday on B. & M. ins, A few of them are still in the city, but most of them went out to differ- ent parts of the state. They were given half fare rates. The Democrat of this city, which has been engaged in the questionable prac- tice of givng to the Irish National league the gratuitous advice that it should suppress Patrick Egan, has got itself in- volved in a lively controversy with Mr. Egan and his many enthusiastic friends. m- The result so far has been two editorials in the Democrat, an open letter from ral publlshod in the Democrat, a letter or two in the Journal from friends of FEgan and numerous small but animated curbgtone controversies. John Fitzgerald has announced his in- tention of contributing to the substantial growth of West Lincoln a brick building H0x100 foet, the first brick in West Lincoln. A. W.

Their purpose would be not only to have their own houses safe, but to compel all theater-owners to take precau- tions for the safety of their audiences. This they could do themselves without government aid. Yot every theater- owner and manager is interested in having rival houses, as well as his own, made safe, A disastrous fire and fatal panic in one house, temporarily, at east, curtails the business and profits of all others, and broad-minded theater managers should welcome any system of government supervision that helps to make all theaters safor than they now are, especially in times of panic. e a—— Peculiar In the combination, proportion, and propartion of its ingredients, Hood's rsapurilla accomplishes cures where other preparations entively fail.

AWOMAN WON AT CARD:! Lively Poker Game in Which a South- ern Girl Was Staked. San Francisco Examiner: Texas Tom s paying Ban Francisco avisit. Day by day he is seen passing up and down Market street, Mcom{mnicd l\ly a very pretty woman whom he calls Ray, and who seems very much interested in Tom, The latter is about twenty-one years old now but a veteran in experience of the shady sort. Just at present he is atop the heap and is wearing diamonds. His baptismal name is Thomas P. Redmond but that doesn’t make any difference he is Texas Tom to all men. Nobody hereabouts knows the girl, beyond the fact that sbe is abrunette from the head waters, has a pair of suuni:yeu.nnd cuts as pretty afigureas need be. Theother day an old western sport turned up and spun this interesting yarn to a weporter: Texas Tom literally won that girl you just saw him with, but without a swérd or courtship. In plain words, he won her at poker, after one of the longest and hottest sessions I ever saw over a round table. About threo years nsn a slick short- card gambler named William Townsend took a professional tour through the south. In a Florida hamlet he encoun- tered a beautiful girl of sixteen, who accepted his flash for genuine, and married him against the will of her parents, well-to-do and respectable peo- ple. Townsend showered jewelry and rich raiment on his child bride, but sho could not descend to his level at first, and the coolness that arose between them soon after the hasty marriage, was rapidly widening into a breach leading to separation, when Texas en- countered them in St. Paul, Minn., a little over two months ago. He roomed in the same house, and after a few chance meetings Tom and Townsend’s wife found themselves in love with each other. Eight weeks ago last Monday after- noon Texas, Townsend and four others sat down in Redmond’s rooms to pl% poker. The game was smalt at first, 2 cents ante, but the stakes rapidl swolled to figures that made it exceed- ingly intevesting. Hour after hour wore away and lengthened into a plurality of days, and Texas won con- siderable money. One player after another dropped out, ghyshufl\y or fin- ancitlly exhausted; others drop in and dropped out, until finally at the end of three days only Texas and Townsend remained, The pair ato and_drank be- tween the deals, played standing upand did everything but sleep. After the second day the ganme began toben sort of ashow, and hundreds flocked in to watch the players and cal- culate how long nature could stand the strain. In three days Townsend had lost #4,000, all his available cash, but he begged for a short grace, which Texuas granted. It was midnight. Texas stole an hour’s nap on the table while Townsend made a hurried trip to his rooms. His wife was asleep, and it was an easy mat- tex to carry ol}l' her jewelry, mostly dia- monds, and aggregating in value about 81,200, While she slept on, unconscious of her loss, Townsend returned, woke up his opponent, and asked for an allowance of the gems. Texas sleepily advanced $1,000 and the play was resumed. It was purely a scientific game, each man being too clever for the other to dare attempt any work. All the next day the play continued in the presence of a_crowd, attracted by its protraction. Fortune seemod to smile on Townsend for a while, but the tide turned towards noon, and at the ond of the fourth day of the sitting Texas had him cleared out. “Is that enough?” he asked quietly gathering up his winnings. “No, 1t isnt,” sullenly returned the defeated gambler. “All right; what have you got to bet?”? “You seem stuck on that woman of mine—what'll you bet against her?” was the astonishing propositi vanced by the financially wrecked gam- bler, the favor for play burning at an uncontrollable heat in his veins. Even Tom was dazed, but only for a minute. “*Make it freeze-out,” said Tom, ‘‘and I'll go you the diamonds and a thousand dollars and throw in my girl to boot.” The offer was accepted. A valuation of 850 each was placed on chips, aggre- gating over $4,000. They were then carefully divided into two piles, and it was agreed that they should ante, and that all limit should be removed. **How do I know I'll get the girl if I win her?” asked Texas,as the cards were about to be dealt. ‘‘Better ask her,” growled Townsend; “I only play my claim on her against your money. You'll have to look to her for possession.,” A note was hurriedly written to Mrs. Townsend, outlining the proposition and asking her sanction. “Tell the gentleman,” ran the an- swer she gave the messenger, “‘that I should be pleased to be separated from Mr. Townsend, but that Mr. Redmond can only claim the stakes by going through the marriage ceremony.” ‘‘Judge” Flannagan, an influential politician, was present, and after a hur- d consultation, Townsend made a written admission of ground for a di- vorce, on which Flannagan said he could’ procure a separation in u very short time. . The announcement. with an engage- thent ring and Texus Tom’s compliments, was sent back to Mrs. Townsend, who ned the following note: Mas REDMOND:—Under these condi- tions I hope and pray you will win. RAY TOWNSEND, “The game is made, gentle W said Tom, with as much of a smile as loss of sleep would permit to circulate on his haggard face, “‘deal the cards.” nd dealt the cards, and the me commenced. Texus captured the ante chips and three more with it, on three duces nst tens up. She's mine,” he cried. “I always win when T rake the first pot.” Townsend broke out with a torrent of oaths, and the pair nearly came to blows, only the intervention of the by- standers causing the game to go on. The prospective widower played a hard game. He was wary and caveful, and again he won for a time, but again v turned against him, and his costly chips melted into the hands of the pros- pective groom. With the turn of the tide Townsend lost his nerve, and in the double unte and freeze-out Texas' coolness and bluf! told heavily. The $50 bits of ivory traveled across the tuble one by one, and seldom came back. In fourteen hours Townsend called for a sight for his last 350, and showed down three kings before the draw.

As the New York woman says when she o8 down the steps in June and looks behind her at the tightly closed house, “Oh, how nice it will be to come back next Septem- ber!” T hope every woman didn’t make the mistake that Mrs. Careful did. She was on her way to Europe, and, after sho was seated in the carriage bound for the boat, she remembered a liver-pad that she had bought for the old man. “I’1l just run back to the parlor for it,” said she. “Don’t be a fool, but stop at the drug- gist’s and buy another,” said he. “Asif I would, after buying that,” and out she climbed. ‘With three koys she let herself in, flew to the parlor, turned up the gans with the electric key and searched. Then she ran up to the front room, lighted the chandelier, and found the pad. She triumrhuntly made her way ocked it carefully up again, and rode away in victory, having had her way and saved an outlay of 75 cents. This was on June 3, She arrived here on SeptemUer 3, and was astonished at opening her house to find the parlors cheerfully lighted to receive her. She had forgotten to turn off the gas, and for three months, night and day, two burners havg blazed away and illuminated the industry of the merry moth and the beautiful buffalo bug. When her husband lpuyu his sum- mer gas bill he will think liver pads the most expensive thing he ever struck. —_— ‘‘As is the bud bit with an envious worm,” 8o is many a youth cut down by the gnawing worm consumption.
