INETATING WALES, 7 Since the great bacearat seandal at, Tranby L whien set the world to talking, the | ne hus become quite fashionablo in this | city ! in the many poker clubs abouttown baceavat is played more than tho great na- tional game itself. The gamblers, of whom there is a good sized colony, passed the word | around a fow days ago that baccarat was the proper game to pluy now and that they would gve private lessons to their customers. ‘The result hus been that all the anglomaniacs, dudes and sporty boys gonerally hive caught on and they talk of nothing else. It is suid young man who has a very libewal anco, hins hecome so infatuated with the game that he has lost in the neighborhood of £.000 during the past weck in one of the gumbling vooms at Monte Carlo, ahttle city across the river inhabited entirely by sports, and where almost every known game of chance is run day and night. Several big games have been played in the pr clubs up town where high government officials frequent and somo large losings are also r poried. For the time bemng poker and whist and all other card games have been relegated and any one who cannot play the prince of Wales gawe is not in it. TO CHECK COUNTERFEITING, ‘Within the past month the secret service agents of the treasury department have been busily engnged in enforcing the provisions of tLe act of the last congress *“to further pre- vent counterfeiting, or the manufacture of tools, dies, or other implements used in coun- terfoiting,” which was approved by the pres- ident on Februury 10 last. It bas long been a penitentiary offense to roproduce any por. tion of a note, boud, or other oblization of the governmenut, represented by paper. But there was 1o way to prevent the making of dies which were used in producing fac sim- iles of American or foreign coins to be used as paper counters, advertisements or toys. These facts have caused ignorant people to be imposed upon in a manuer which seems incredible. Yet the secret oficers have abundant proof that it has been a common pructice for crooks of various degrees of na- sonalities Lo paste paper represeutations of coias upon & metal base and to pass them off upon the unwary, and very naturally the newly landed immigrant was frequently the victim of these sharpers. Besides this, the dies used in embossing fac similes of coins upon cardboard or paper were frequently so well executed that they might readily be used for embossing the same design upon piece of metal, which would of course represented a counterfeit puro and simy "The law was enacted to offc sury officials meaus for suppressing altogether the manufacture of articles to money, which wight be used to defraud, and it is o singular fact that the first_application of tho new luw was right within the very building in which the government coins all its gold and minor coins, In the history of the Philadelphia mint, which is the Mecca of every bridal couple visiting the city of Brotherly Love, are sold copies of a valuable little treatise upon_the subjoct of coinage it and modern., Tk little work is a private publicatioz, but it is semi-oMcial in character, as it is' the only book allowed to be sold in the mint building. Oun the front cover is embossed a representa tion of tho obverse and reverse sides of an American eagle. This design is indented into the cover and then covered with a gilt wash. It is an excellent representation of a ten-dollar gold picce, and if a countor- feiter should get hold of the dies from which it was made be would have no difjculty in getting off au excellent representation of an cuglo. The dies from which the rep sentation were embossed were required to be forfeited to the government and the next editions of the work will not be decorated with them. A Buffalo saloon keeper who has a number of silver dollars imbedded in the floor of his place conceived tho idea of adopting tho dollar as a trade mavk, He had a die made and all his stationery is embossed with the dollar. The representation is perfect and ho . has undoubtedly hod to pay a good sum for *the die, but the treusury people insist that he must glve up the idea. Thoy will not require him to destroy his present stock of stutionery, but the ordering of another will subject him to a fine of from $10 to §100 at least The law is to be rigidly enforced and business men who think of adopting now advertising devices will do well to see that they do not violate this new law in trying to cateh the public eye with a novelty. - e CRAN IN" THEIR Chicago's Whitechapel Club Plays a Juke on Cloverites.

The latt = motion prevailed, Tho walver of damages resulting from the proposed change of grade of St. M nue was received and the clork instructed to The motion be recom- notify the appraisers, Architect Befndorf® in o communication sald that in sounding for tho foundation for the pump and boiler room in the eity hall building he finds soft ground. He suggosted goiug down five feet, where a clay founaa- tion cun be obtained. This will result in an additional cost of 81,600, Tho matter was referred to tho committee on pubic property and buildings. A lengthy discussion followed when the Sixth ward aclegation askod for some adc tional cross walks. [t was urged that an agreoment was entered into by which the respective wards were to have a certain num: ber of walks. Tho Sixth ward acquired its number sometime ago and the proposition to give this ward additional walks was defeated by a large majority The board of public works was instructed to advertiso for bids for paving districts Nos, 343, 840, 459, 874 and Chairman Birkbauser, by resolution, was grantod a ten days’ leave of absence. Mr. Chaffee asked the chairman to explain when, if ever, the public work of 1800 will be commenced. Mr. Birkhauser said Smith is waiting for the water mamns to be laid on Twenticth street; that the curbing is about done; that Murphy is working on_[leventh stroet, and that ull other work will soon be commenced. Mr. Chaffe wanted an ordinance iutro- duced providing that two hydrants shall be pluced on Twentieth street, that the paving may go on. Mr. Elsasser objected, saying that now s the time tosco whether or not the water works company owus the city, and it should be tested at orice. Mr. Davis advised doing a_nittle conxing. He believed that if the council asks the com- it will place the hydrauts and wait for He'did not wint any row with the waterworks people. @Mr. Chaffec said, “If you want fizht you can get it and [ think the waterworks com: pany will give you all you want.” Mr. Specht said that bie favored following the advice of the city attorney and ordering the hydrants and then muking the water- works' company show its hand. President Lowry said: “I amone man who favors taking the bull by the horns and lead- ing the waterworks to arink instead of let- ting it lead tho city. If that company had the interest of the city at heart, it would not stop all public work when asked to simply put in two hydrants. We must take action in this matter and stand shoulder to shoulder with the city attorney.” Mr. Bruner was tired of listening to ad- vice. He said, “We have taken advice and by it we have been delayed for six months.” @Mr. Olsen was not tired of the advice of the city attornoy. He regarded it good and to the point. He did not pro- pose to let tho city hold back the improvements simply to please the water- works and for this reasou fayored testing the matter, Mr. Osthoff said the councilmen are the obstructionsts, The people of Clifton Hill offered to put up the money to pay tho hydrant rental until Junuary 1, but the coun- cil would not let them do so. President Lowry said there are no parties who will put up money to pay hydrant rental, but if the council will stand by the city at: toraey, the waterworks cowpaty will not only have to locate hydrants on Twentioth street, but n Clifton” Hill and other portions of tho'city where they ure needed. “The orizinal motion, that the committee on fire and water be instructed to draw an or- dinanco providing for the location of two hydrants on Twentieth street provailed. The ordinance will bo reported by Mr. Elsasser Tuesday night. Mr. Elsasser agreed to report the ordinance but hesaid: “This is robbery and [ have the figrures to prove it. In Denver the same company furnishes 2,455 hydrants for £0,000, but here it chargos us £72,000 for 1,367, In Denver they charge %5 per annum per hydrant for the first ten years and $25 per ainuwm for the next ten years.” Tne council went into committee of the whole, with Mr. Specht in the chair, to con- sider the question of additional street lamps, The bids preseuted at the last council meeting were read. For gasoline there were two bids, as follow: Robert Seeger, 100 lamps at §1 The Obio street lighting lamps at §.9 per year. Both bids are ipon a two-years' contract. Gas [nspector Gilbert was called for. He explained that e had tested both lamps “T'he Seeger lamp is equal to 13 2-100 candlo power and the Ohio street lighting com- pany’s lamp 15 50-100 candle pow Mr. Davis had seen the Seeger light considered it cheap for the money. Mr. Blumer said tnat considering the lights, the Ohio light is the cheapest. Mr.'Olsen had scen both lights burn and could see but hittle aifference botween thom. A letter was read from Mr. Seeger. In it hosmd: “I will give a bond to furnish as good a light for $15 per year as the Ohio com- pany will for §19." Mr. Bruner smd: “We have tricd the Ohio” lamp, and kuow that it 1s good. The differenice in price should not iuduce us to make a change.’ Mr. Chaffce stated that i per year., company, 00 and two advertising for bids the comptroller failed to usk for the candlo power, He moved that all bids be re jected and tho comptroller readvertise for bids for lighting the outskirts of the city In support of this he said: *“I'ie Ohio compuny doos not give us as good @ light as the suui ple. We want things in shape so that if a company fulls to live up to its coutract we can forée 1t into line,” “The motion provailed, and after insteuct ing the comptroiler to advertise for the short- est possible time, the council adjourned while Mr. Olsen clamored for permission to introduce a resolution providing for the dis- position of the dirtthat will bo takea from the Douglas street hill.
