Will our esteemed Democratic con temporaries discover that Gapen is unfit for the position he holds before he is marked absent? Or will they do as they did with Coy, Bernheimer, Sullivan, Edgerton et al., wait until the end C3mes to confirm all that the Republicans have charged against him?

Mills and Carlisle running away from a caucus, because Randall was to be present, doesn't leave the impression that the latter has been read out of the party. The same Mr. Mills who, a year ago, was cracking the whip at his party in the house, riding rough-shod over all ouposition, was yesterday defeated by Mr. Randall, assisted by nearly thirty Democratic members. All of which arouses a suspicion that not only was Cleveland defeated on the Mills platform but that a big section of the party strength has determined not to follow such leadership in any further matters of public polico.

The truth about the fraud in the New Vork election in 1884 is coming out and soon all the world will believe what was known to a few at the time, that Mr, Blaine was entitled to the vote of that state. It will be remembered that at the time there wns some telegraphic correspondence between Mr. Blaine and friends in New York which showed that they thought the vote was being stolen and our Democratic friends made merry over it. The fact that Butler votes were counted for Cleveland, is soon to be put beyond all dispute. It is fitting that this be done now, as the one who profited by the fraud is going into oblivion.

Bert Kelley is home again and tells his party organ that it is all & HP that he did not pawn the interior department typewriter, and that he has resigned to

notices from the Washington newspapers when he retired. This, from the Washington Post, is not one of them:

Albert J. Kelley, chief of the assignment division of the patent ofliee, was removed yesterday, by the secretary of the Interior, for general dereliction of duty. Mr. Kelley Is a married man. about 40 years of age, and was appointed to his position under Commissioner Montgomery soon after the beginning of Mr. Cleveland's administration. He Is strong personal friend of Senator Veorhees, through who?e Inliuence he Is said to have secured his appointment. The removal was not unexpected. During the last year lie had been absent from Ills olllee almost entirely.

FEMALE GAMBLERS.

[All the Year Bound.]

When Pope came to the conclusion that every woman waa at heart a rake he was probably, much nearer the truth than the majority of sentimental young men would give him credit for. There of course, many exceptions to be found amongst "nature's agreeable blunders but it will, we think, be conceded that, speaking generally,

hesitate

a

woman

has much greater faith in luck than a man and had she the same opportunities for speculation which the sterner have, it is not probable she would

to "back" her belief with the

coin of the realm. AB a matter of fact, some cases which appeared in the police court reports a lL.de time ago seem to prove that, given the opportunity to bet, a woman will utilize it with little regard for the possible consequences. She seldom stops to ascertain the bona fides of the persons with whom she bets. To "get on a certain horse is her main object. She does not stop to inquire whether the particular bookmaker with whom she invests is reliable or otherwise, and her implicit faith in the honesty of others leaves her an easy victim to the wiles of the welsher. An illustrative instance of this sweet simplicity was brought to light in on© of th© London polic© courts some time ago. A welldressed young woman applied to the magistrate for advice. A poBtman had given her the "straight tip" for a particular race, and she snapped at the bait with avidity. As it turned out, the "tip" was an actual certainty, for the horEe had already run and won the race when she made the bet with an ingenuous book-maker.

When a book-maker

makes a bet in this fashion, knowing that the horse against which he wagers has already won the race, it may be safely assumed that he has no intention of refuading the money staked. In this case, of course, the book-maker disappeared, and the young woman was left to mourn her monetary loss.

Noth withstanding the fact that women are far too excitable for a business which requires the utmost coolness at all times, whether the gambler be win ning or losing, there are facts on record which proves that there have been instances -in which women have evinced all the necessary dispassionateness which successful gambling entails. In Plutarch's "Life of Artaxerxes," an incident related iof Queen Parysatis fur nisbes a cae© in point. In those days (about, 400 years before Christ) gaming with dice was a fashionable past time at the Persian court, and as Queen Parysatis wished to revenge the murder of her favorite son, who had been slain by a slave named Merabetes, by the order of Artaxerxes, she determined to utilize her well-known skill at the dice to accomplish the cherished revenge. One day, therefore, she induced the king to play with her for 1,000 darics (about five hundred pounds), and purposely allowed Artaxerxes to win. After losing the game, Queen Parysatis played for slave, the winner to select the slave which he or she required. The queen won, chose Merabetes, tortured and killed him, and thus satiated her re

rule, the Grecian and Roman women

were too deeply interested in their do mestic concerns to devote time or energy to a business the very nature of which necessitated absolute singleness of purpose and the complete annihilation of family cares. Even when the Roman women were corrupted under the bane ful rule of Nero they seldom or ever ac quired the vice of gambling. Except during the festival of the Bona Dea betting on any event or game was but little practiced, and even then the individual sums risked were comparatively trifling.

French ladies, unfortunately, have not always followed the good example of the women of Greece and Rome. At first, indeed, when French women began to succumb to gambling attractions, public opinion was BO antagonistic to the de parture that gaming ventures were car ried out in the most secret manner pos sible. During the reign of Louis XIV. however, gambling transactions were conducted on a bolder scale, and under Ijouis XV. heavy betting was indulged in by French ladies with but little re gard for the opinion of Mrs. Grundy At the close of the eighteenth century gamestresses were as plentiful as .black berries, especially so among the higher classes, and their play was frequently characterized by unfairness and bare-faced cheating. Yet, in spite of their cheating propensities, the ladies were often losers. The reverse of fortune frequently reduced high-born dames to beggary, a condition which induced them to "sacrifice not only their honor, but that of their daughters as well, in order to pay their gambling debts. As an illustration of the degrading position to which gambling may reduce women, the case of the countess of Schwiechelt, one of the beauties of the opening years of the present century, is instructive. The countess was much given to gambling, and while in Paris on one occasion, she lost 50,000 livres. Being unable to pay, she actually planned a robbery at the house of one of her friends—Mme. Demidoff. Mme. Demidoff was the fortunate possessor of a remarkably fine coronet of emeralds. The countess of Schweicheit by some means found out where it was kept, and at a ball given by Mme. Demido ff«the manage® to s'.eal it The theft was discovered and the countess adequately punished. Many influential friends tried hard to have her punishment mitigated, but Bonaparte was iuexorable, and left her to her fate.

In England, as in France, the passion for gambling has often reduced women of the noblest birth to the lowest depths of depravity. From allusions in old plays such as the "The Provoked Husband," and from Walpole's "Letters" and other publications, it is evident that the sacrifice of honer was not an infrequent method of paying gambling debts. The stakes were generally high, and the debt* incurred were a first charge on the sensitiveness of the unfortunate lady players:

So tender these—If debts crowd "fast upon her, She'll pawn her virtue to preserve her honor.

Hogarth, in his picture entitled 'Piquet, or Virtue in Danger," realized exactly the female gambler's fall and his truthfulness was amply testified to by frequent occurrences in actual life. A single illustration of these may suffice. A lady waa married, while very young, to an Eoglish noble. Ere long she was introduced to a professional gamastress, was led into play, and lost more in a single night than ever she could hope to pay. Her honor paid the debt. Soon afterwards the gambler's boasts revealed the truth to the lady's husband, and a duel was the necessary result. The gambler was shot dead by

the injured husband, after wkich the latter actually offered to pardon his wife, and wished to restore her to her former position. The wife refueed, gave herself up entirely to gambling andi its consequences, and the husband died oi a broken heart. .... a

The stakes for which ladies played during the closing years of the eighteenth and the opening years of the present century, were often of considerable magnitude. In 1776, a lady in a fash ionable quarter of London lost, at a sin ele sitting—according to the 'Annual Register"—no less than 2.00J guineas at loo and at Lady Buckinghamshire faro table in St. James'square there were often enormous sums lost in play.

Lady Buckinghamshire, it may be remarked, was, perhaps, the most notorious gamestress of her day. She actually slept with a pair of pistols and a blunderbuss by her side for the protection ol her. cherished bank. Her career, however, was a somewhat chequered one. In the Times, for March 13, 1797, there is a police court report which goes to show that Lady Buckinghamshire's speculations were not always free from worry. A couple of days prior to the appearance of

t^e

,rep^rtT ,,efr

ladyship, together with Lady E. Luttrell and a Mrs. Stuart, was brought up at the Marlborough street police court and fined £50 for playing at faro while Henry Martindale, her manager, was mulcted in J6200.

Later in the same year her croupier got into trouble through the disappearance of the cash box. Awkward stories of stolen purses, snuff-boxes and cloaks began to be told, and finally Martindale became a bankrupt to the tune of x3-o,-000, besides "debts of honor" to the amount of £150,000.

Lady Buckinghamshire, by the way, was not th© only titled dam© of th© olden days who not only gambled, but kept gaming establishments. One of these professional gamestresses actually applied to the house of lords for protection against police intrusion on the plea that she was a peeress of Great Britain. "I, Dame Mary, baroness of Mordiogton," ran the petition, "do hold a hous© in th© Great Piazza, Covent Garden, for and as an assembly, where all persons of credit are at liberty to frequent and play at such diversions as are used at other assemblies, and I demand all those privileges that belong to me as a peeress of Great Britain, appertaining to my said assembly. The house of lords very properly refused her request.

Among the many stones told about the ruling passion of gambling being stroDg in death, that recorded by Goldsmith will bear repetition, as it happened to refer to a female gambler. The story goes that an old lady, having been given up by the doctors, played with a curate of the parish pour passer le temps. Having won all his money, she suggested that they should play for the funeral charges to which she would be liable, Just as she began the game death claimed its own, and as "time!" was called the game was a draw one. A sim ilar submission to the ruling passion was evinced by the gamestress who, in the ordinary course of her religious duties, went to confess to her priest. Her confessor, among other arguments against the lady's favorite vice, expatiated on the loss of valuable time which gambling occasioned. "Ah," said the penitent, with a sigh, "that is exactly what vexeu me— so much time is lost in the shuffling of the cards!" In the lower ranks of Eng lish life the passion for gambling is by

But the profession of female book maker is by no means extinct even now In certain districts in London, Liver pool and other large town, may still be seen the "lady" professional taking bets ranging from a penny upward, from women and children, who never saw horae race in their lives, and who can have but the remotest idea of the pros and cons of the event on which they bet Their bookmaking, of course, is done in the most primitive and unostentatious manner, yet it is hardly likely that the police are altogether ignorant of the methods of these female gamblers. If aware of them, it seems somewhat strange that efforts haye not been made to annihilate one of the worst phases of street gambling. Among the higher circles of the present day the same gaming propensity is visible to those who choose to look for it. Ladies are not ashamed to run horses under assumed names nor is it an uncommon event to see some of the prettiest flowers of society setting up with a book maker in the most business-like manner. That the proceding enhances their attractiveness few would care to assert, and among men appreciation is worth having, the opinion is gradually growing that a female gambler is by no means an ornament to her sex.

What periodical will secure the article cannot be definitely said, but in all probability the readers of the Century will find it in one of their forthcoming numbers. By her friends Mrs. Cleveland's taste for literature is well known, and her compositions at college show that the pen glides easily and effectively in her hand. The Century's editor, Mr. Richard Watson Gilder, is a close friend of the Clevelands, and it is doubtlees due to his persuasion that Mrs. Cleveland has consented to write something for publication. The channel through which it will be given to the public seems, therefore, easy to define.—[New ork letter in the Boston Sournal.

How Don Cameron Gets Votes for His 11111*, Senator Don Cameron's method of getting support for his bills is almost as unique as his way of giving dinner invitations. Just now he has several measures which he wants put through, and all the senators know it. Senator Pugh was going up the elevator the other day, when the beneficiary of one of these bills approached and called his attention to it. "Is it one of Don Cameron's?" inquired the senator. "Then I guess rt will go through. Don came over to my desk yesterday. 'Pugh,' he said, 'I want you to vote for my bill.' 'Is it all right?' I asked "what's it about?' 'What's it about?' said Don, giving me a crushing look 'Pugh, that's none of your d—d bus iness.'" Everybody who heard the Alabama senator tell the story laughed, but declined to say whether he voted for the bill or not. A glance at the bill showed that he voted for it.

The Park County Company—Gee Grimes' Sale—Notes. Lovers of fast horses to the number of thirty-two met at Rockville, says the Republican, and organized "The Mutual Parke stock company" under the state law as a corporation. This company has a capital stock of $4,000 and they own the stallion, King Charming, and other horses. The following five directors were elected for the ensuing year: J. A. Allen, R. C. WcWilliams, J. H. Jordan, Lot Pickett and W. L. McMillin. At a meeting of the directors the following were elected officers: J. A. Allen, president Lot Picket, vice R. C. McWilliams, treasurer W. L, McMillin, secretary. On Monday at a meeting of the board of directors three bids for the keeping of the company's stock, were received and after being duly considered the contract was awarded to S. D. Puett for the term of three years. The stock will be turned over to him March 1, and will be kept at his stables northwest of town the coming season.

G. Grimes, of Guion, held a horse sale laBt Saturday that was well attended, there being from three hundred to four hundred preeent. The bidding was slow and horses went at very low. prices indeed. Some of the horses mentioned below at a Kentucky sale would have brought at least $1,000 instead of a few hundreds, because of their pedigrees. This shows the need of more education among our people on the Bubject of fine horse flesh. About eighteen head were sold, among them the following: Napoleon, the draft stallion, was sold to Ike Burnside for 1440. A dun colt by Jim Wilkes out of a Creole mare, went to James Dryden, Putnam county, for S51. Frank Payne bought three colts, two of them by Jim Wilkes out of Red Buck mares. The third was sired by Jersey Wilkes, the Terre Haute horse, out of Edith, Grimes'standard bred mare, and brought $300. Laura Keen, a thoroughbred mare 4 years old, waa bought by James Rice, of Newtown, Ind., for $205. Lottie Kemster, thoroughbred, was sold to Wm. Watson, of Parke, for $510.

The Hon. Claude M. Thomas has sold to Colonel H. R. Russell, of Boston, Mass., his wonderful four-year-old colt Edgemark, 2:21, by Victor Von Bismarck, dam Edgewater Belle, by Edgewater, for $16,000.

Cowboys at the Inauguration. DENVER, February 21.—The great West is to be represented at General Harrison's inauguration by a genuine cowboy brigade. Sombreros, shappos and blue shirts will distinguish the delegation from the boundless prairies and foot hills of the Rockies, and if such trappings do not offset in the big Washington parade the tinsel and plumes of the effete East, there will be groaning among the politicians and business men here, who to-day about completed arrangements intended to put "down easters in the shade." The nucleus of the brigade, providing there is no hitch, will be 100 leading citizens of Denver who are about equally interested in politics, cattle and mining. The programme is for the 100 Denver men, accoutred in all the paraphernalia of cowboys, to start from here over the Rock Island route February 26 for Washington and be joined en route by other "cow boys" who may wish to thus uphold the glory of the West. At Kansas City the "Dodge City cow boy band" will be attached to the bri The band is to give concerts on turn trip, which may be by way

"Full Dress" at the Inauguration Ball. The committee on the inauguration ball clears up a painful misunderstanding. The ball ticket announces that "full dress is required." When Chairman Britton was spoken to by a reporter to-day on the subject, he said that the ball ticket should be construed that full dress is "requested" or "expected." It was desired, he said, to prevent people coming to the hall without any care whatever as to the propriety of their dress. A Prince Albert coat or any coat that a gentleman would wear at an evening entertainment of a formal character will be considered proper.

The Tall Tower of Paris.

Arrangements for hoisting people to the top of Eiffel's tower, which will be raised to its thoueand feet by March 31, are to consist of two lifts t« carry fifty to 100 persons each to the first platform. Two others will ascend from the ground floor to the second platform, 112 metres high, in a minute. They will stop at the first platform to take up or leave passengers. The complete ascent will take four minutes, and it will be possible to take to the top 750 visitors an hour.

The most ancient of all the mediaeval dances, the carola or ballata, the dance in a ring or a round, but not a round dance, with singing by the dancers, has been revived in country houses in France.

Catarrh to Consumption.

Catarrh In Its destructive force stands next to and undoubtedly leads on to consumpUon. It Is therefore singular that those afflicted with this fearful disease should not make It the object of their lives to rid themselves of It. DecepUvo remedies concocted by Ignorant pretenders to medical knowledge have weakened the confidence of the great majorly of sufferers ln all advertised remedies. They become resigned to a life of misery rather than torture themselves with doubtlul palliatives.

But this will never do. Catarrh must be met at every stage and combated with all our might. In many cases the disease has assumed dangerous symptoms. The bones and cartilage of the nose, the organs of hearing, of seeing and of tasting so affected as to be useless, the uvula so elongated, the throat so inflamed and Irritated as to produce a constant and distressing cough.

SANFORD'S RADICAL COKE meets every phase of Catarrh, from a simple head cold to the most loathsome and destructive stages. It Is local and constitutional. Instant In relieving, permanent in curing, safe, economical and never-falling.

Each package contains one bottle of the RADICAL CURB, one box CATARRHAL SOLVENT and an IMPROVED INHALER with treatise price $1.
