THE WASHINGTON POST: MONDAY, APRIL 8, 1907. LONDON RETAINS GOLD Shipments to America No Longer Apprehended. COPPEE KTJLES PARIS BOTJKSE Sales of Metal Watched Anxiously, as Reflecting the Industrial Situation. General Public in Berlin Active in Picking Up Industrial Stocks--Improvement on New York Exchange. London April Times' financial Mippiement will say: "It is satisfactory to observers that tho New Tork Exchange at last has shown an upward tendency and risen a point further.

Gold shipments to thfi United States are ao longer apprehended "The monetary conditions in America are- evidently easier, and time money, lately almost unobtainable, has been offered at reasonable rates there. Thus them eems hope that New Tork will bo in the- position to liquidate gradually the credits raised In London and at Irast leave our bullion market alone f.o that the banlc may obtain all arri- undisturbed. "Much depends, of course, upon the movement of securities, and If there should be an outbreak here of purchases of American shares, the recovery In exchange would be checked. far the boot is on the other the continent the outlook Is less favorable and while, as a whole, the situation ts certainly clearer and there 1s good reason to hope that the Bank of England may get gold rapidly, the position of Berlin and Paris makes raution desirable until London's rest rvo actually has been released to a more satisfactory level."

Tierlm, April 7 --The low level ot quotations on the boerse last week attracted buvcra anil the general public was espe- i aciue in picking up industrial stocks Th's feature of the revival of business after the panic was due to m- uased optimism in regard to the Industrial situation I hi from the industrial centers warrant this optimism, espe- in resoect to mining, electric, and actrt ittes The Improvement of the New orlc Stock Exchange also exercised a favorable influence here.

The monetary situation, however, was such as to cause a reaction hi the latter days of the wtck Tbe extremely strained condition -of the imperial bank Is. of course, thii chief cause of the money stringency, The bank's posluon at this period of the year was never before so unfavorable. The bank Is earnestly endeavoring to avoid an Ircrease in its discount rate, which its directors are satisfied would be a st-nous blow to business of all sorts. INVESTIGATE BROWNING.

Police Take Up Case of Colored Man Who Jumped Into Canal.

At the reouest of Coroner Nevitt for a detailed report on the drowning of the unknown colored man in the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal at Georgetown Saturday night while attempting to elude arrest for disorderly conduct. Detective Grant, of the central office, spent yesterday afternoon hunting witnesses and taking statements from the nolleemen who tried to place the man under arrest. According to Policeman Montgomery, who chased the man down Thirtieth street from street, he was ten or twelve yards behind the fleeing man when the latter jumped. For a moment or so the colored man floundered In the water, and seeing that he was making no headway toward the far s'de. Montgomery called to him to work bis way toward the left bank and that he would pull him out.

The man turned toward Montgomery and suddenly disappeared beneath the surface. When the policeman realized that tne man was drowning he blew his dlsticss signal, bringing to his assistance Sergt. Bean, Patrolman Balsen, and several additional oollcemen and citizens. Falling to recover the man's body by ordinary means, the water was drawn from the level. Montgomery was the only ejewit- ness to the drowning It Is his theoiy and that of the other'policemen who attempted to place the crowd of disorderly colored men under arrest at the corner of Thirtieth and streets that the man was too much under the Influence of liquor to realize whit he was dolns.

The future action of Coroner Nevitt will probably be governed by the police resort submitted to him last night. The opinion prevails that the man has only himself to blame for his death. The body has not yet been identified, althouen it was viewed by a large number of colored people at the morgue yesterday. Among those who called to look at the body was the sheriff of Montgomery County. who thought the dead man might nave been a negro from Rockville wanted for assault.

BEARS' DRIVES FUTILE DBTOK, HUSBAND SAYS. Thomas B. Garfield Asserts He Does Not Remember Assaulting Wife. Thomas B. Garfleld, the real estate broker who Is accused of having assaulted his wife, Mrs.

Edna B. Garfleld, in their apartment at the Iroquois, airived in Washington yesterday, accompanied by Detective Howlett. He was arrested In Philadelphia upon information furnished by the Washington police. Garfleld related his version of the matter to the police upon his arrival. "I had been drinking heavily that night," he said, "and remember going home.

After that I remember nothing until I came to myself and saw Stocks' Prices Hold Up We: Under Attacks. MONEY SITUATION DUPKOVES Release of Large Amount of Government Funds at New York Has Good Effect. Demand for Bonds Also Strengthens, All of Semi-speculative Character Advancing from One to Five Points. Speclnl to Tho Washington Post. New Tork, April at toe close business for -the week on tho stock exchange a week ago last Friday a violent upturn in the price of Canadian Pacific stock was an Impressive reminder to speculators for the fall In values that people in Wall street who sold stocks that they did not own had sooner or later to buy them back again, and that It was not always easy to get them back.

Although at the beginning of the following week the great rise In the Canadian Pacific shares prompted realizing sales in London, and there was no little general profit-taking in this market on account of the large advance in the average price of stocks made without any reaction in the course of the last five business days. It was yet plainly discoverable that the stock market was animated by a new feeling From time to time during last week various drives on different occasions were made at prices by the still strong "bear" party, but whenever the market declined under tnese onslaughts It tended to become Inactive. Very little further liquidation was noticed, and there were numerous signs that the buying power underneath market whenever prices declined was much more powerful than any selling pressure when prices advanced. Throughout the week these favorable symptoms became emphasized even if Wall street was foi a time more or less slow to recognize tnem, and had Its attention diverted once or twice from the factors of real importance In tne situation by such incidents as the Harriman- Roosevelt controversy. Money Market Improves.

What has chiefly wrought this change in affairs has been, of course, the improvement in the money situation caused by the release of a large amount of government funds at this center; and here again Wall street was slow to grasp the real bearing of the steps taken by the what now seems to be the reasonable certainty that the Bank of England will be allowed to purchase without" hindrance In the next two or three weeks the $6,000,000 gold now in transit from South Africa. Indeed the discount rate In the open market in London la'now nearly a full 1 per cent 'below that of the Bank of England, and predictions were commonly made at the end of the week that a reduction in the Bank of England's discount rate was near at hand. Meanwhile, so far as our country is concerned, this is a time of the year when money normally grows easy in. the leading financial centers. With the issue of the Brie Railroad short-term notes last week railway borrowing for at least six months is.

It is'believed, completed, with the exception that one Eastern railway will probably soon be in the market for SIO.000,000; but this railway is one that stands In very high credit and will doubtless quickly obtain the money desired. The general fact Is, therefore, that the railways already have the money they need for Immediate purposes and hat the unfavorable effect upon the stock market of their demands has ceased. 7here were several new favorable factors during the week aside from those specifically relating to the money market. The outlook for the season's crops BO far as has progressed Is splendid, many private statisticians putting the condition ot winter wheat on April 1 at nearly the same high average accorded to It on the une date a year ago. DANIEL P.

KEUXGG. POINTS ABOUT PENSIONS. SAYS HORSE NEEDS FRIENDS Garfleld packing her grip. She said Secretary of the Treasury. When on that she was going to her mother's I followed her to the front door, begging her to come back to our apartment.

There were two men standing near the door of tho apartment house, and I believe she appeale-d to them to take her away from me. This angered me, and I turned and left her. "I then went down town, and had several more drinks, spending the night at a. hotel. Wednesday morning I took the train for New Tork, In New Tork, I remember having cashed two checks, but for what amounts I do not know.

"Going to a realty flrm for which I had done some work, I requested the loan of enough mqney to get home, and then asked the flrm to cash a check. This was refused. The next thing I remember is being; aboard a train for Philadelphia. Arriving In that city I went to a hotel and telegraphed to the American Realty Company, with which I had been Identified. "I knew nothing of my wife's injuries until told by the detective who came to bring me back to Washington." Mrs.

Garfleld, who is the complainant, told the police that her husband struck her with his fists and then with a chair. She said he threw her against the door, fracturing both bones in her right JUVENILE COURT'S "AT Large Crowd of Probationers Report Progress to Judge De Lacy. A large and assorted crowd of probationers attended Judge De Lacs's semimonthly "at home" at the Juvenile Court esterday afternoon to report their progress in the straight and narrow path In n-nich their leet have been set by the beneficent operations of the court. By far the greater number of the attendants wera boys. In order to emphasize their improved position the world they had.taken uncommon pains with their toilets, and the results were, to the weareis at least, entirely satisfactory.

Collars, so large that they would have slipped easily ovei tne shoulders of the youthful wearers, evidently borrowed from the pateinal wardrobes, added dignity to the occasion. Many of the boys, who but a few weeks ago were wanderers and Ishmaelites, reported that they were enjoying a period of financial prosperity due entirely to honest work. Judge De Lacy gave the boys a brief talk, to which they listened with rapt attention. The kindly magistrate laid great stress on giving to an employer the equivalent in nard work of every dollar which he pays, of honesty in all relations of life, and of industry. Rev Zed H.

Copp, the March 14 the Secretary announced he would buy $25,000.000 of the maturing government 4 per cent bonds of 1007 at the same puce that would be paid for them upon the date of maturity (this action representing In substance an offer to holders of these bonds of the interest upon the bonds from now until the first of July)' no great quantity of the bonds was at first turned In, because those who owned them had an idea that sooner or later some process of refunding the issue might be adopted by the government which would make an exchange of the bonds into 2 per cent government obligations more advantageous than their sale for cash. This idea was dispelled by the announcement last week that the Secretary would refund only $50000,000 of the bonds-In question, and this upon terms which would make the exchange desirable to banks About $28,000,000 of the bonds are now held as security for bank note circulation, and these will probably be willingly converted by the banks into 2 per cent Issues in order to avoid a cancellation of the circulation based on them. About J10.000,- 000 of the bonds are also held as collateral security for the deposit of public funds. A certain part of these will probably also be offered by the banks for conversion. Only about three-fifths of the $25,000,000 of bonds covered by the Secretary of the Treasury's circular have been paid off up to the present.

It is probable, therefore, that fully $35.000.000 more will be disbursed by the government between now and July 1 next. Placed Money in Banks. Some of this money will, of course, be paid by checks upon the government deposits now In the national banks, but a good deal of it will come from the Treasury vaults proper and the monej market will be benefited thereby In addition to the great gains already received from the same But the Treasury did more than this. It placed immediately $15,000,000 In the national banks In this city, representing the redeposlt in the banks of a part of the money paid in by the government upon customs duties thus far during the year, and It is undoubtedly the Intention of the government from now on to deposit customs revenues as fast as they are received in the national banks of the countrv. This outpouring of money and the indications that it will continue resulted, naturally, in a demoralization of the time money market.

Time money that could not be borrowed at 6 1-2 per cent a fortnight ago was offered last week at 51-4 per cent, and bankers united in sayjng that no great amount of time money for long periods could be lent at this figure. They had reference, of course, to cases where ed collateral was tendered as security for the loans, and the circumstance that the Brie Rall- Glen Echo Mayor Wants Shouts' Man io Return for Trial. Mayor Garrett, of Glen Echo, Is persisting In Ms efforts to secure the return for trial of V. D. Bell, chauffeur for Theodore P.

Shonts. The mayor said last night he would give the automobile Interests of Washington until Thursday to make up their minds whether they would aid his purpose. "After Thursday, If the Automobile Club has done nothing, I sham apply to Gov. Warfleld for requisition papers, and If Bell is still in Washington shall send them to Chief Justice Clabaugh, of the District Supreme Court "I have heard nothing," Majjor Garrett continued, "of the complaint said to lavo been filed with the State Department by Baron Hengelmuller, the Austrian Ambassador, which is now before Gov. Warfleld.

I believe that if the matter were going to be followed both Marshal Collins and myself would be notified. "The efforts to break up the pratlce of overspeedlng on the Glen Echo roads has not been at all remunerative to the Glea Echo town treasury, as some might think. The town Wflctals have but one purpose--to stop the practice. We had nuch rather have the automoblllsts observe the regulations than to be forced, their misconduct, to make arrests. "So far, probably has been left with town treasurer by persons giving collateral or paying fines, and fully one-half that amount has been expended In counsel fees.

In suits that have been brought against us. Then, too, Marshal Collins' salary has to be paid." NEW DIRECTORS WELL KNOWN. United States Trust Company Fills Vacancies in Its Board.

KACE ATTENDANT ARRESTED. FIRE HORSE IS INJURED.

Shoe Catches in Track While Truck Js Responding to Alarm. nils truck EJ of the fire-department was responding to a fire, which was discovered in the Norfolk Oyster House, 621 street noithwest yesterday afternoon, one of the horses was thrown and injured. The shoe of the animal caught in the car tracks on First street, between and streets northwest, and was torn off. hurling the horse to the ground and injuring his leg. The first thing brought from the burning premises was an assortment of kXtens, i had been overcome by smoke.

Thefire had its origin in the basement of the building, among some empty oyster barrels and rubbish. The damage will amount probably to $60. W. 'F. Turner conducts the Yonkers (N.

Drug Clerk Charged with Embezzlement. Han Habci. of Yonkers. was arrested yesterday afternoon by Detective Grant, at the request of the New York authorities, on the charge of embezzling $111 from his former employer, the AVray Griffin Drug Company, of Yonkers. It is allseed that Haber, who has been in the city for several days attending the races, was sent with the cash to make a deposit in a neighboring bank.

Instead of placing the money to the firm's credit, it is said. Haber came to this city with several companions. The arrest was made in a. hotel on lowei Pennsylvania avenue. When confronted Ith the New York warrant the prisoner admitted his Identity.

He was locked up in the Second precinct station pending the arrival of a requisition.

ins the week for a time loan of 55,503.009 was not considered at all as derogating from the Immense change for the better In the general financial position. As a result, secondly, of these events the market for railway short-term note issues ami the general bond market experienced a quickening such as has not been witnessed before In the present year. Many Bonds Advanced. All the bonds of semi-speculative character dealt in on stock exchange advanced last week fiom 1 to 5 points and the bid price for the leading railway short-term notes averaged from 11-2 to 'points higher at the close of the week than at the beginning. It would have been very surprising, indeed, if under such circumstances the general stock market failed to advance; and advance it did with a rapidity that in some cases appeared to be as sensational as did the recent decline.

Thought must be taken, however, of the long-continued and altogether extreme depression )n the market recently and of the great quantity ol stock that In the course of the fall passed into Investors' hands. It Is always observable upon such occasions that the recovery In the market when it sets In runs very much farther than the majority of observers thought likely at the outset of the movement. Even at the final quotations of last Saturday the market had not recovered half of Its decline since the beginning of the year, and it could still be said, as It was in this column a week ago, that prices of the standard railway and industrial shares were ridiculously cheap. Due consideration regarding the future of money rates must no doubt be paid to the state of financial affairs abroad. There Is a condition of extended'credit In England.

France, and Germany no less than In our own country, and while we hero have had our liquidation and are now In a state of convalescence, matters Jn Europe may still require a good deal of careful treatment. The statements issued last week- Dy the banks of France and England and the German Reichsbank were admittedly poor, but they presumably reflected the especial disturbance always caused by the April financial settlements and will suffer amendment In due course later on.

fl The act of February 1895. extends the provisions of the act of, June 27, 1890, to irclude the officers and privates of the Missouri State Militia and the Provisional Missouri Militia who served ninety days during the war of the rebellon and were honorably discharged.

Anacostla, D. C. My father served two years in the regular army-from 1857 to 1853--but he cannot prove that any disability from which he now suffers resulted from that service He never rendered any other service and Is now over eighty-five years of age Inform me If he has anv rights under the act ol Februarj 6, 19Q7, on account of his age and poverty. GEORGE T. Your father has no title to pension under thejact of February 6, 1907, on account of his service from 1857 to 1859, for the reason that the said act benefits only the survivors 6f the" civil war and of the war with Mexico.

SERGT. MIKE You should make application for pension under the act of February 6. 1907, and thus secure the highest rate of pen- slonu to which you are per month on account of your age.

Under the general law the rate of pension allowed for loss of sight of one eye Is H2 per month, provided the same is due to service and line of duty. Baltimore, My son, wbo was killed during tho Spanish- American war, supported me In my o'd age live with his wife and children. RIs wife does not need the pension and will not apply for the same. Under these circumstances can I obtain pension as a dependent my soldier son was my only support. HIRAM 8: A dependent parent of a soldier is not entitled to pension If his wife or children survive him.

As your soldier son left a widow and children, you cannot obtain pension, notwithstanding he was your only support. Hyattsville. Md. My brother Is drawing $30 per month pension on account of rheumatism and disease of heart. He fell and broka his leg on the Ice about two mouths ago and he is confined to his bed, where he is likely to remain for many months.

As he Is help, less and requires the attention of auotfier person, can he not apply for an. Increase of pension on account of his present helpless waLIAM L. M. The next highest rate of pension fallowed (after $30) is $50 per month; Jut this rate is allowed only when it is shown to the satisfaction of the Pension Bureau that a soldier or sailor's condition is such by reason of pension cause or disability otherwise" due to service, as to necessitate the periodical aid and attendance of another person. As your brother's present helpless condition Is not due to pension cause or service, he Is, therefore, not entitled to an Increase of pension on account of the same.

And I will fight his flght And speak the word tor beast and bird, the world shall set things right. Nor Is the present attempt to turn back civilized public sentiment an unmixed evil. Many Washingtonians who have aided the Humane Society ac- tWely are awaking to the fact that it must be sustained.

Not long ago a local which printed a card of thanks for' its alleged support of the organization opposing the society, made a great outcry against a proposal to establish the whipping-post for wife-beaters in this city. The introduction of the whipping- post would be no more truly a reversion to barbarism than would be any curtailment of the merciful power of the Humane Society.

7 The World's Queerest Cabin. Prom the New Orleans Times-Democrat. The Queerest house In the world." said a zoologist, "is undoubtedly the famous bone cabin In Wyoming, near the Medicine Bow Elver. This cabin's foundations are built of fossil bones. "Bones of dinosaurs--Jaws of the docus, teeth of the brontosaurus, knuckles of the Ischthyosarus, vertebrae of the camarasaurus, chunks of the barosaurus, ther cedasaurus, the brachlosaurus, the steglosaurus, the ornltholestes, or bird- catching dinosaur--all entered into this wonderful cabin's foundations, making It the most curious and most costly edifice in America.

"This hut was built by a Mexican sheep herder who had happened chance on the grandest extinct animal bed in tho world. ThtexWas a plot about fifty vards square, wherein lay In rich profusion the bones of all tho animals of the reptilian age. Tiie heaviest and the lightest, the largest and the smallest, the most tranquil and the most ferocious, say side by side "The place was evidently once a river bar, and the, dead bodies that floated down the stream were here arrested to He for hundreds of thousands of years till a sheep herder came along, and root- Ing among bones as big as bowlders, set about tho building of the world's queerest cabin." strange and peculiar as the legend of Romulus and Remus--and, perhaps, more so, for the wolf that mothered the babes who founded Rqme clung to her own cubs, while Fannie deseited hers for love of Tommy, and never returned to them Asa Casner la a butcher and a sportsman He does not combine the businesses. He butchers beeves, and calves, and sheep, and kills duck and quail, antelope and deer, like the true sportsman he is and what he kills in the field never goes over the counters of his shops. Like all good sportsmen, he loves a dog, and in Fannie he has one of the finest pointers In California, and In Tpmmy the finest baby In Momovia.

Pannle has a pedigree, but that does not matter She is connected with some of the finest pointers in the East, or in the world, and there is no price on her, for money would not buy her. Fannie Loved the New Baby. It happened that fourteen, months ago a new baby came to the Casner household. There were other children, and the little newcomer was greeted with great rejoicing. Fannie, who lives -almost as a member of tha family, tolerated the other youngsters, but for the new baby she evinced the most wonderful love She saw the newcomer three days after he was born.

The babe, a little red. and pink, and white, squirming, equalling bundle, lay in Its mother's arms in the Casner residence, on Ivy avenue, in Monrovia, and the others had been told that if mother was well enough they could see their new brother on that day So at the appointed hour, after the nurse had swaddled Tommy In new flannels, and laid him on his mother's aims, the otheis tiptoed noiselessly Into the room, and with wiue-open, awe-filled eyes and half scared grins, greeted the newcomer, who wrinkled his red little nose, closed his ejes, and let out a feeble yowl. Fannie had crept into the room, following the children. She went to the bedside, laid her beautiful head on the bed, her muzzle touching the infant, and for hours she remained motionless as if carved there. Mr Casner came home and found his wife and baby asleep, with Fannie on guard.

The picture was a beautiful one. but the moment Casner approached the bed a low grrowl warned him that Fannie was mastei of the situation. He tried coaxing, threats, ana meat bones, but to no avail. Fannie refused to budge Finally, Mrs Casner awoke and spoke to the doe. Fannie muzzled the Infant, growled a little at Casner, and trotted out.

That night she left hei kennel and slept underneath the window of Mrs Casner's bed room. Every time the infant nailed Fannie reared high on her hind legs and gazed anxiously at the window. That was the beginning, urom tjhe instant she first saw Tommy the dog assumed that she was his protector ana he her property. Poor Casner had fewer rights than most husbands do under similar conditions. Fannie refused to admit him to the baby's room, and for weeks kept him from touching his own baby.

But, finally, by dint of hard work, Casner convinced Fannie that he was all right, and a friend of Tommy's, so he was permitted to hold his son ana; heir. Fanny's devotion to the baby and her pride In him were wonderful She was with him practically all the time. Sh? remained at his oribside day and leaving only when ordered out bv Mrs. Casper. The other children were permitted to approach Tommy, but the slightest move on their part, such as playfully raising a hand as if to strike the baby, brought a.

warning growl from the Sag ancl a quick, threatening motion tow.ird them. Outsiders were permitted to fee the baby only after Fannie had been pelled from the room Outsiders Must Keep Far Away. The conduct of the dog was as gentle, and her disposition as Kind aa ever, except where Tommy was concerned. Sho refused utterly to permit any one to touch him, or come near him, until she has assurances that they had rights In the matter. Mrs.

Casner was jealously, but as a necessity; Casner was tolerated, and after a time the other children were permitted to play with Tommy, providing they treated him gently. The slightest sign of roughness toward the baby brought Fannv leaping to the rescue Outsiders could not even come near his buggy. They were permitted to admire him from a distance, and. when they spoke admiringly, Fannie was pleased a. bit mollified.

From the first Tommv took to Fannie with almost as great love as she showed for him Long before he could alt up he "was perfectly satisfied to He for hours with his little fragera gripped on Fannie's ear. When he learned to sit up his greatest pleasure was In pulling her eais, or tail, or jabbing his little fingers Into her eves. Fannie never objected to anything. The strong attachment between child and the dog worried the baby's parents, but their efforts to separatOj them proved unavailing. When Fann'e was away Tommy howled and refused to be comforted, and when she was with him he whimpered or appeared to be anything but perfectly happy.

With the dog it was the same way. Her rage and despair when she was locked up or kept away from Tommy were almost pitiful. Deserts Her Poppies to Be with Baby. When Tommy was seven months old Fanny gave birth to eleven handsome pups. The Utter was perfect, and bids of $50 a puppy were made before the blind, crawling little things were a day old.

Then Fannie did a remarkable thing. She deserted her own puppies, and went to Tommy, Threats, entreaties, and force failed to move her. She refused to return to her puppies, and to day 'never has gone back to them. Casner raised MhoSe eleven on the bottle. The little ones, seeming to feel their loss, often tried to creep near their mother, but she drove them away with sharp bites, and would not have anything to do with them.

Sue refused permit them to come near Tommy, although the baby was wild with delight at seeing them. So the puppies remained In their kennels out under the orange tiees, and Fannie slept beneath the baby's window, watching and caring for neglected her own Tommy learned to toddle, and developed something of a will of his own. He determined to play with the puppies. Fannie would drag him away, fastening her teeth in his dress. When this failed to divert his attention she attacked her own puppies and sent them flying for safety.

Will Not Be Kept from Home. Once Casner determined to break the relationship between Tommy and Fannie He sent Fannie td Pasadena, where he had sold two of the puppies, to be kept a month. She was back under Tommy's window the nert morning. Again he took of the work Is to keep awake througn the silent watches of the night. "A year or BO ago I was night operator at Yankee Corners.

After SI Stebblns. from the post-office, came over to get the 7 o'clock mall bag 1 wouldn't see a soul all night. I am not naturally timid, but I was always fearful lest some af the wandering hoboes might get a yearning to see what was In the safe, and give me a rap over the coco when I wasn't ooklng. "To give thirgs a more cheerful aspect, he safe we had In the ticket office had hree or four holes In It, made by drills it burglars In a previous unsuccessful at- empt to get through the Interference of he safe. That was liefore a night opera- or was installed at the Corners "The burglars were frightened away if ore they completed their task.

The company never thougjit it was necessary 0 stake us with a new safe or have the evidences of the handiwork of the cracksmen effaced from the eld one. "Now, It would take a gentleman of a wonderful buoyancy of spirits to sit In the office night after night glancing at those drill holes in the safe without getting pessimistic and falling to speculating as to whether the burglars were strong men with scars on their faces, and low long It would be before they would think It necessary to call again. Yankee -Corners was a flag stop for the midnight express. It wasn't often that any one traveling In the direction of that village was out so late at night; therefore I was surprised to see her slow up one night, and, stopping, observe the carrying oft an Inanimate object. They rapped on the station room door.

I just sat there and winked and blinked. 'All of a sudden the snoring ceased, the ticket office door swung open with a crash, and before I could wink an eyelash 1 was looking down the barrel of a 40- horsepower pistol, and behind It was the man with the souse. He was sober enough now. across with the combination o' that cake box, he 'or I'll make you look like the Hoosic tunnel with HIP Be good, Chester, and I won't harm you "He played the game well, got Inside the station on a phony Jag, and now was after the safe I did some rapid- fire thinking, and decided to simulate fright--I didn't to do much simulating at that--give the fellow the gig on the safe "He might play with It for a. while, and maybe some freight would happen along and come to my rescue.

Now, i remarked my midnight caller, 'I'll just tether you here in thfe corner where I can look at you while I go south after the "With that he stood me up In a corner with my writs and ankles bound so tightly that twinges Of pain ran all through my system.

I was all in a dripping "After I let waiting room, and there was the drunk sleeping as soundly as ever, only with a groan now and then when the pink animals made a counter-march and attacked him on his other side." perspiration. 6 go, I went out In the years ago Washington was a hotbed, for gamblers of low and high degree, and there were gambling houses on every block from the Capitol lo the White House. There were a dozen faro hanks on the avenue near Sixth street, and many of these houses had club rooms attached, wheie Congressmen and other? could be to themselves. The last of these gambling houses was broken up to October, 1870, when Joe Hail's place was.

closed by the marshal. It was the last of the great gambling saloons, and after It was closed Hall began ta slide down hill rapidly died a pauper While there is not now a gambling house in Washington, there Is still some betting, of course Some Senators and a good many Representatives manage to set up some pretty stiff games in their private homes, but the stakes are as nothing compared to those wagered when Washington was a wide-open town and sports were left unmolested. Gambling, and for large sums, was common ithose days, and especially among Southern and Western members. Scores of them squandered their modest per diem (then only) at the gaming tables, and some impaired their private fortunes by the same Indulgence. Tue most notorious and dashing gambler or the day was Edward Pendleton.

He came from Virginia, where he was connected, and marxied a most accomplished young woman of this city, whose father held a responsible position under the government. At his club house Pendleton wave sumptuous entertainments, whidh were attended by the most eminent public men of the day Mr Mangurn, then president of the Senate; John Crittendeh, John M. Bolts, John B. Thompson, of Kentucky, and Lynn Boyd, afterwards Speaker of the House, and others of lesser note, were frequently his guests. Congress had enacted strong penal laws to prevent gambling, but they were a dead unless some poor detil made a complaint of foul play, or some fleeced blackleg sought vengeance through the aid of the grand and then the matter was usually compounded by the payment of money.

Prentiss Lost Fortune in Night. It was In Pendleton's place that S. S. Prentiss, then a. Whig Representative in Congress from Mississippi, and in the zenith of his fame, lost his fortune in a single night at faro.

At one time during the great game Prentiss was 545,000 ahead, but at daylight his winnings and $40,000 were gone. He deeded Pendleton three warehouses in VIcksburg to cover a debt of 135,000 which he Wed the bank An old gambler in Washington, who witnessed the game, says it was perhaps the heaviest stakes ever put up in a. gambling house in this city. Pendleton's bank was an ar.stocratie place, and no man was admitted at any time or under any pretense unless he was the holder of an invitation. In his superb dining room at 6 o'clock each day Pendleton set a complimentary dinner of twenty-four plates for the most distinguished men In Washington--members of the Senate and House, generals, commodores, and ambassadors.

There was the rarest food, the most precious wines, and the most elegant service. His place was a gorgeous palace--a temple erected to the haphazard muse. It is a tradition here that Henry Clay obtained, the finest corner lots in Washington at Pendleton's roulette table, having staked for it a drove of An- daluslan Jackasses, then on their way to Kentucky. It was not an uncommon thing for slaves to be wagered against cash, and plantations and warehouses the same way. Whist was a favorite game with the foreign ministers and elder statesmen Mr Clay, Gen.

Scott, Mr. Bodisco. and Mr. Fox, who represented William IV and Queen Victoria, often played together, a hundred dollars being the usual stake. They generally played well, as Hoyle taught the game There were always Inveterate whisters in the Senate There is a story of a protracted sitting at the card table, at which Gov Stokes, of North Carolina, and Mountjoy Bailey, Sergeant-at-Arms of the Senate, were two of the players.

It ran in this wise: The Senate had adjourned irom Thursday over to Monday. One Game Lasted Eighty-four Sours. The party sat down to cards Thursday evening. They played all night and all the next day, only stopping occasionally for refreshments. The game was continued Friday night and Saturday, through Saturday night and all daj Sunday and Sunday night, the playei's rest- Ing for a snatch of sleep as nature became exhausted.

Monday morning the game was in full blast, but at 10 o'clock Bailey moved an adjournment, alleging that his official duties required his presence In the Senate chamber. Stokes remonstrated, but the Sergeant-at-Arms persisted and rose from the table. The governor grumbled and scolded, but finally gave It up, swearing that if he had suspected Bailey would break up the game thus prematurely, he would have seen him--anywhere before he would have Invited him to join the party. Many Southerners, and especially Virginians, were addicted to the game known as shoemaker 100. President Tyler was fond of 100 and on a rainy day when there was no great pressure of public business, he would make up a game at the White House and play all day His companions usually were William SeJ- den Treasurer of the United States, Gary Selden, storekeeper at the navy and Gov.

Gllmer, of Virginia, with and then another favorite. The amount played for always small, but President Tyler was aa much delighted at taking a pool as If he had won a hundred. Public opinion was not so averse to gambling in Washington as in most of the Northern cities. Probably the tone of public morals Is no more elevated now than it was 1 then, but there was then less pretense and ostentation of purity THE. SHEJICE ROOM.

Freakish Curio Collections. From the New York Sun. No one knows quite so well as a. curio collector how many queer fads joccupy the minds of people who have both leisure and money. One woman who is an adept In the art of finding things in out-of-the way places and getting them at low prices is now working on no less than fifty different collections, many of which decidedly freakish.

Here are a. few of them: Stuffed toads for a West Side woman who already has various specimens of the genus toad in his various shapes and sizes, fossilized vegetation, odd bottles, teeth of famous people, photographs of particularly vicious animals, paper weights, door keys, exact miniature copies of inventions for the punishment of criminals, and skins of cats of lofty lineage. The foregoing fads are selected at random, but serve to show the scope of the work undertaken by a person who adopts curio collecting as a profession. Fur Coat Saves Motorist's Life. South Norwalk Dispatch to the New York Tribune.

B. N. Slpperley, a local automoWIIst, was saved from being blown to pieces last evening by bis fur coat. Mr. Slpperley opened the carbide tank of his gas lamps, when the gas communicated with the oil lights, and an explosion followed.

His heavy coat was blown shreds, his whiskers, eyebrows, and hair were burned off, and he was projected several feet and rendered unconscious. Members of his family, hearing the explosion, rushed- from the house and put out the flames. Mr. Slpperley's fur coat was destroyed, but he considers himself fortunate, as the garment undoubtedly saved his life. It's a Hew Boston Idea--The House of Peace Is Another.

Boston, April town is exactly what The Post called It not long ago: "nurse of so many doubts and strange re- Hens sometimes raise ducklings, cats bring up squirrels, and there are stories of dogs that have mothered kittens. But Boston welcomes the whole assortment Of religions The newspapers here have to set up tae headline "A New Psychological Depart ure" so often that the compositors can do It with their eies shut. They did It again recently and this time tne new P. TJ. was a silence room.

They spell it with capitals in but they're very apt to spell things with capitals here, anyway. The silence room Is at the Metaphysical Club, and as It was announced that sittings were permitted even to non-members. The Post correspondent decided to brave the silence In Its room to the extent of one sitting, at any rate There are a. few Streets In Boston more noisy than tbe one upon which the Metaphysical Club Is situated, but not many. Hence when the seeker, after a.

sitting inquired if he might-taste the joys of 'the silence room for a time, he expected to be shown Into an inner sanctuary of some sort where the rude clang of the common world could not penetrate. "I came-, in," he explained, "to see it 1 could; alt In your silence room--that is, I heard you had one--but if it's somewhere else "Oh, no!" said the middle-aged dame who had sidled up to the visitor. "It's right in there. I'll see if you can go in once. It may voice sank to an Impressive it Is already occupied.

"Mrs Blank, here's some one wants to go Into the silence room. Tes, I said I didn't know whether it was occupied. There a maybe she's gone, now. "We'll iee." she to The Post person, at the same time pressing into his hand a card which Mrs. Blank had givon her It was, a card of admission to the room in question and wag to be "returned to the desk" when the sitter had sat as long as he or she wanted to.

Tie woman who had taken the visitor ia charge tiptoed to a door and, placing her ear at the crack, listened Intently. Whether she expected to hear the sitter or the silence she did not explain. Evidently she heard neither, for she opened the door stealthily and tiptoed around a screen which was placed just inside. The correspondent followed. It was an ordinary front room, opening with big glaring windows onto Huntington avenue, the street above mentioned.

Outside an unending procession ot trolleys whanged and banged by, motore honked, ana trains choo-ehooed In the middle distance A nice looking young woman rose from one of a row of chairs to the middle of the room, picked up her Boston bag, and made as if to depart Though there wasn't another soul around, 'the three persons now in the room whispered back and forth, the new- -comer protesting against disturbing the original sitter, who declared in a strident whisper that she was ready to stop sitting Probably she was!

The Post correspondent blinked at the gold letters on the lavender feathers on the turquoise background, while outside the cars clanged and the autos honked and the engines choo-chooed, and on the other side of the partition wall Mrs Blank and her metaphysical cronies talked and talked and talked.

When she's afraid ehe's going to sneeze she offers a few peacefal remarks in a low tone and reads something from the Bible, 'generally from St John, who Is regarded as the patron of the would-be peaceful, because In nook is found Christ's words. "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give unto you At the close of the class the Peace Circle gets in its work.

ANGEL OF CHARITY ERRS Gives Parse to Habitual Drunkard Living- in Squalor. Widow Who Strives to Keep Home- Ctff for Sinning Husband Left to Fight Battle Unaided. A. big, red automobile. churning strongly, bore a lady from a Massachusetts avenue mansion through a portion of the southwest section of the city bordering on Four-and-a-half street.

There was snow on the ground, and the ldy was muffled to thi chin In furs This is the part of the city which was formerly known as Bloodfield, and which figures the police recjrd of the remembered some of the men on the force Low cr.me and poverty in those dajs stalked abroad In this Action, but the complexion of the southwest has changed of late, and it nas become law-abiding and the home at great numbers of workmen, day laborers, and mechanics The wolf creeps forth often in the winter and skulks about many a door in the "southwest, and poorly nourished forms re- Quire much coal to warm them It to supplv the physical needs of sjme or these poor that the ladj of the red au- had ridden out She had selected a daj when want would be most apparent, and had procured an Associated tharity list of all the needy, but woulJ select her own people to help There is a belief current among a great many people who are charitably inclined that the money distributed those on- ed professionally in works of charity Is given to the wrong person and an accompanying belief that if there was bu' little time to spare in investigation there would be a possibility of getting better results from the bount by the autoiists in the red machine A number of calls were made on this occasion and aid extended or refused, but the two cases attracting the extremes of pity and scorn were those of a negro aunty and a forger's Refuses Aid to Tidy Widow. The widow was visited first. She occupied a neat cottage of pro portions in a side street. There were but two rooms, one behind the other When the fur-clad vis'tor entered she was received by a reticent little woman, whose appears nee was neat and clean, in spite of her threadbare dress. The room was somewhat bare of furniture, but a curtain ns at the window, and some small pictures in frames were upon the wail In tlie rear of the back room was a door of stained glass.

All was spotlessly clean. The visitor scanned the place humedry, and drawing the conclusion that tne evidences of want were Insufficient departed, giving no aid, but recommending a sale of tbe pictures On the opposite side of the same block is a tall -house, untenanted save for the presence of an old negro woman in an upper room. Climbing two flights of stairs admission was gained to this apartment, and the old woman was found sleeping on jpattrtss of straw In a corner Tne re'had died out in the sbeet-iron stove, and the old woman's body shook wita cold. The etove was the chief piece of furniture, and for fuel broken pieces of boxes were used. All was squalid ind in disorder.

The woman of the red automobile le- her search for the truly desen ing poor rewarded, and she left a well-filled purse, with the old woman so that she could buy coal, provisions, and clothing The task accomplished, the visitor turned boulevard and told at dinner that evening of the deserving poor and of tne solicitous poor who impose uplm the charitably inclined. The sequel to the story was an investigation of the two parties who had been visited, and the facts gathered from the police records and the records of the Associated Charities The following were the fac's The forger's widow was not a widow as s. matter of fact, but her husband js in the penitentiary. Eight ears ago she married him and went to the little cottage to In?

The wife had toiled hard through those jears, and with her needle had paid the lent and kept herself and child.

Prison Follows Prosperity. Then had followed a time of prosperity when he had worked at his trade, and they had lived happily and another baby had come The husband was fond of small decorations, and the little cottage was made beautiful. Then he had again gone wrong, and this time the penalty was three years, and the term Is only half expired. The little woman Is sewing aight and day when the work is to be had, and is keeping the little home In readiness for the coming of its master. There is no speck of dust, and two or three of the little pictures are still on the wall The back door, loose on its binges, was shaken to pieces in a rough gale, but the neighbor whose yard looks out upon hers is a.

There Uf much hunger and cold in the cottage, but with it much Industry and a stanch little heart in Its mistress.
