NEW YOHY, Oct. 8. In the Villa des Fleures at Alx los Balns Elsie De Wolf won a baccarat 75,000. I am a terniile gambler, Miss De Wolf said tonight. "It was late in the afternoon when I arrived at the Villa des Fleures.

Somebody had broken the bank. Another man offered to take it, and I gave him my $100, all the money I had. I hardly knew him. He won persistently. 'When I saw tho gold and silver coin and the notes of the Bank of France blue as hope piling up In front of hira I began to tremble.

Soon I could not watch the cards. I could not look at him. I was too excited. 'I went into a corner of the room and rested there, holding my hands. trying to think of nothing.

When the clock struo 9 the banker arose. I felt it. He came to me with his hands be hind his back, wearing a sad look, and said: 'Alas, madam, I have lost every 'I am I replied. 'Well, It is tho fortune of war. He extendivl his hands carrying two wooden trays filled with money in bank bills, in gold and silver.

We counted it slowly. I could disguise my joy in the pain of arithmetic. I gave him a half of the amount. I left Aix les Balns at once 1th $75,000 in my recti cule." i iMi.fl Xiy Tight l.actiif;. This morning a sensational scene occurred at the Frisco depot on Commercial street.

8. An appeal hns come to the Chicago Woman's club tr rescue Chinese women from slaverj into which It la said they have been sold, although under the protection til the stars and stripes to save others from being sold Into bondage. The Orientals In question are and have been employed In the "Midway" at the Trans misslssippl exposition. The club has called a special meeting for Saturday morning to take steps to save these friendless foreigners. Miss Wilkinson, a teacher In the Hyde Park schools, at present at the exposition at Omaha, wrote to Mrs.

George W. Kretzlnger, a member of the club. She said that when the exposition opened a score or more Chinese women were brought Into this country by one man to appear In dancing balls. The women were given the promise that they should be sent back to their own country when the big fulr closed. They could not hnve crossed tho boundary line were this not understood, a It would have been contrary, It Is said, to the Chinese exclusion act.

But. now that the exposition Is over. Miss Wilkinson says, the man who Im ported the women Ir not living up to session this morning. The are untler hiu promise. She says the women are' 8tood t0 nave tak( nl0 consideration being sold like chattels to the highest Chinese bidder.

It's a case of "going, going, gone," according to the letter, the highest bidder taking off the woman he selects, the fairest woman bringing the highest price. Several have already been 60ld, It Is understood others will soon step upon the auctioneer's block. The foreigners are troated as were the hapless African women before thousands died to make "all men free." The sales are not conducted openly that Is about all the difference. It Is said. But the lot of the almond eyed women Is even more hapless.

It Is said, than that of the negresses who were sold In the days of slavery. The latter had hopes of good homes and good treatment. The Chinese women are given over to Immoral purposes. It is charged. Mrs.

Kretzlnger read the letter before the club at ypsterdays session, and a meeting was called for Saturday morning to take action on behalf of the foreigners. Until this session no definite action will be taken. It Is panned, however, to employ the services of a Chinese missionary now in Missouri to Visit these women and find out just the true state of affairs. At the clofie of the Nashville exposition, Chinese women who came to this country to appear in places of amusement were treated In a similar manner. It Is said.

Word of this came to the authorities, and a person who spoke the Chinese language was employed to visit the women and find out the condition of things. This Interpreter, according to members of the Chicago Woman's club, was bought np and reported that all was as It should be. The club, If li action In thia Instance, will see that it receives a true report. Mrs. Kretzlnger, who received the letter from Mise Wilkinson, resides In Austin.

She left for a visit in Nashville, last night. ALARMING SITUATION. Ysllnw Fever rrevalln Throughout the Ktat of MEMPHIS, Oct. 8. The yellow fever situation throughout Mississippi Is assuming grave proportions.

PARIS, Oct. 8. The United Slates peace commissioners began the usual the direct suggestions and counter propositions from the Spaniards, of which the Americans now have enough to engage their attention at the dally I sessions. It may be regarded a.s quite likely that the Spaniards have already outlined their apparent expectations, and that they are beyond the line of possible acquiescence by the Americans. The latter are now acting along well considered lines, conslstcnly and with a definite end In view.

They have to some degree disclosed the American expectation and determination. The Spaniards, however, seem unable or unwilling at tho outset to understand or believe the Americans may or have at the outset set forth their requirements and that they are destined to remain virtually unchanged by finesse or counter diplomacy. Therefore, It Is not unlikely that the Americans, following the course of a fair, thorough consideration of all the original counter propositions, will, to the limit of fruitful possibility, accord patient consideration of the thought projected by the Spaniards. The commissioners yesterday settlel upon the points which are to be taken under consideration, but there is no fettled order in which they aro to be considered. The propositions have been exchanged In writing between the commissions, and each commission, In recess, will separately deliberate upon them.

Senor OJeda, secretary of Spain's commission, made his first appearance at yesterday's session. Secretary Moore and Senor Ojeda decided upon a plan for keeping the records of the conference. There will be no stenographic minutes of the meeting. The secretaries of each will, record the proceedings and results. If no other reason than the fact that the Philippine Islands were not mentioned first in the protocol.

It may be said with assurance that the commissions of the joint sessions have not yet touched upon the question of the Philippine islands. The Libcrteo, referring to the Indian outbreak In Minnesota, contrasts the federal treatment of the redskins and the Spanish treatment of the natives of conviction mat any contrast must prove unfavorable to the federal authorities. Uh Ktiitiin Miss Emma John who contributed to the enjoyment of the muslcalle at Graco church last evening, is one the best performers on the piano in the United States. She resides at Carthage, and Southwest Missouri is therefore proud of the talented young lady. She will give a piano recital at Grace church this evening, and those who do not know what a piano can do under the manipulator of a master, should hear her.

Her performance is indeed a revalntlon to lovers of music. A A "Mission" will be given at St. John's Evangelical church on Mtn street tomorrow. There will be present a half dozen ministers from the district. The Billings choir will be present and furnish vocal music.
