J. III11 137 MARKET ST. A No Limit Game) at Which Rooo-oe Conk' llns; Was sv on the Tablt --Chamberlin Ahead Until Conkling Blade DUcorery.

If overall optimist; lived, tho late John Chamberlin was one, and yet he had to iwim through his hours of disgust the rame as men of less cheerful termpeiwmont. He often said that the most dijsmal experience of his life a single round of a two bunded poker game that he played buck in 187 with Kenluoldan'of national'fanie. It was after a dinner at Chamberlin's hotel ouo winter evening. Besides Chamberlin and the Kentuckian Boscoo Conkling and 'ft member of cabinet'had helped to make away with the dinner. Affter it had been eaten ihe footfadjourned to Chamberlln's private smoking room to enjoy their coffee and cigars.

They all felt pretty well, the only natural feeling for tho proper kind of man after eating his share of a Charoberlin dinner. They sat around Chamberlin's famous lacquered card table, purchased for him in Japan by General Grant, yarning and dawdling for awhile. Tho Kentuckian, fumbling among tho recesses of the card table, got hold of a pack of cards in a celluloid case, and after lazily toying with it he said: "John, let's play a single jack, just to see how the cards run." "AH right," replied Chamberlin. "For what limit--the sky?" "That's my game," said the Kentuckian, and both men put a $100 bill in the center of the table. They arranged that it should be a piain wise of jacks or better to open.

Kentuckian shook tho cards out of the case, shuffled them, and at a nod from Chamberlin dealt the hand. Jonkling and the cabinet officer stood looking on. Chamberlin picked up hie cards one by onu. He was a cool headed man who had earned the game of poker at an age when most boys are just mastering shinney, but the witnesses afterward declared that his face certainly Hushed when he had gath- erde in all of Ins five cards. But he didn't say anything until tho Kentuckian slowly picked up his cards, and he was probably io wrought up himself that he did not observe his opponent's "suppressed excitation," as doubling put It "Phil," said Chuiuborlin to the Kentuckian, "I don't vfimt to bo hard on you, but I'd never have any more luck as long as I live if I didn't play this hand as It deserves to bo played.

So I'm going to break if; open for $500." 'John," replied the Kontuckinn, with a little tremor in his voice, "I fuel it my duty to wurn you right now that I've got you boat on the go in, and I don't want to take any unfair advantage of you. But 1 can't afford to return a churlish scowl to tho smile of fortune any move than you and so, John, it'll cost you a thousand more to draw cards." "Well," returned Chamberlin, with a sigh, shoving tho raiso into tho pod, ANO MOTHER: Oh, mother, ray love, if you'll give roar hand And go where I nsk you to wander, I will lead you away to a beautiful land, The dreamland that's out yondur. We'll walk In tho sweet posy garden out there, Where moonlight and starlight are streaming, And the flowers Bud the birds arc filling tbo air With the fragrance and music of dreaming. There'll be no little, tired out boy to undress, No questions of cares to perplex you. There'll bo no little bruises or bumps to careas.

"Senator," said Chnmberlin to Conkling, -who hnd boon standing behind the Kcntuckian, "come over here and have a look at this hand of mine, and add your voice to my warning to our friend ncross the table." Conklmg obeyed the request and glanced at Chamberlin's hand. I'm not in this game, John," ho said, "and it wouldn't be square for mo to mnke any remarks." He said afterward that he had to turn to the sideboard and stuff his handkerchief into his mouth to keep from roaring. "Oh, very well, then," said Chamber- in. "You perceive, Phil, that I've done iay best for you.

I am therefore reduced to the necessity of raising you another thousand," pulling out his check book and writing a check for the amount with a fountain pen. "Handy things, those fountain pens," replied the Kentuckian. "Lend molt." He also produced his check book and scribbled a check, which he thrust into the center of the table with a confident flourish. "John," ho said, "I shall enjoy your discomfiture less than that of any ot ray acquaintance. But I certainly am not going to fly in the face of Providence by laying down a hand like this or any thing like it.

Thousand more!" Conkling broke into a laugh, which he lurncd off into a cough. "I never came io close to suffocation In my life," he said ifterward. When there was $14,700 In cash and sheeks in tho center of tho table, tho Kt-n- hickian, whose turn It was to bet, cleared bis throat. he said solemnly, "this ching has gone far enough. Neither one of us Is a millionaire.

I do not purpose in-' dulging your notorious recklessness any further. I seo plainly that you arc just wild red Indian enough to bet your Inst blanket and pair of moccasins on that flst- Cul of cards, even in the teeth of my solemn assurance that you are the worst thrashed man from here to Alaska. John, I call you." Chamberlin spread his hand out on the bble before him. Four of tho cards were ices and the other one was a king. Tho Kentuckian spread out his hand at the same time.

It consisted of fonr kings and ace. The two men gazed at each other across the table With expressions of blank stupefaction. They were aroused by a bellow from Conkling that mignt hauo been heard over in Lafayette square. "Senator," said Chamberlin, severely wheeling around, "what ails you?" "Mr. Gonkling, sob," said tho Kon- tuckian, "we would pleased, suh, if yon would be good enough to explain what pleases yon, suh." Conkling took a firm grip at his sides ind, After a few gaspS suppressed ihrieks, got the handling of himself.

"I never saw a duel with blank cartridges, he controlled himself long enough to say. ''But; After all, I think the tragic earnestness of two men engaged in playing a game of poker with a penuckle deck of jards is quite as humorous." Cbaraberlin and the Kentnckinn gazed tt each other with sheepish grins for a minute and then tore up their checks und rollt the York Sun. who think that the long stemmed tflpcs smoked by the laimdrymen in front of their shops are filled with opium, and that it is the sum aad substance of the process. They know nothing of lumps, yen hoks, and like paraphernalia necessary to enjoy tho noxious drug. The small pipes smoked iy the Chinamen contain Chinese tobacco, stronger fhan the American product, but substantially the oanie.

Tbo "-layout" for the smoking of opium consists first of a largo stem, made of bamboo. This stem Is between and 8 inches in circumference. Almost midway Of the stem sets'a largo clay bowl with only small hole, such as would be madu by a large darning needle, upon the top. Thcu tbcro is a small lamp, which burns peanut or olive oil; then the yen hok, about the Shape of a darning needle, to cook the opium with, and other like Instruments for cleaning the pipe, and last tho opium itself In a small jar or toi. All these articles may bo found on sale In at least one Chinese store In this city.

They are received from a largo Importing house in Philadelphia, which supplies the whole south with these articles. The opium looks very much like the crude licorlro which is used for sweetening chewing tobacco. It comes to tho merchants in largo cans, -weighing from one to ton pounds, and in tho different qualities costs from $10 to $30 a pound. It is retailed Over tho counters out of a shaving mug, covered with paper, to keep it clean, and ladled out with a miniature butter paddle. When a Chinaman desires to purchase opium, ho brlugH in a toi and designates in weight or money tho amount ho The merchant then carefully weighs the toi In a pair of scales made from htmill bamboo rod, balanced by a string tied in tho middle.

Tho toi is held upon smiill piece of copper, tied upon one end. The exact weight of this is ascertained by moving a small copper weight along the liojiin. Then it is placed so much farther down, according to marks cut upon the bamboo, und the opium is gathered up in a lump upon the paddle and skillfully dropped into tho toi. It is balanced to the fraction of a grain, and an expert in this lino of business can judge almost exactly tho weight desired each time. 'Washington Post.

Beasely will never again ask her brother to go to church with her. This brother is a bachelor who lives at a hotel, and ho does not get to church more than once or twice in lifetime. Two weeks ago, however, his sister inveigled him to her home on tho south side and then induced him to go to church in the evening. Ho consented with a show of Willingness, but as a matter of fact ho had intended to go to vtheater down town. He wont into tho church with Mr.

and Mrs. Beasely, and they took him to their pew, which was well up toward the front. There was an opnnlng anthem and some prayer, and then the soloist stood up in tho choii loft. She ig a soprano who has been told that sho "ought to go into opera." Mrs. Beasely's brother Is fond of mulc, nnd tho church soprano entranced him.

He had not expected to hear such voice in a church. His recollection of church music was that it consisted principally of congregational singing iu very ragged time. He leaned bnck and listened td tho young soprano, and was so interested and delighted that he forgot whero he was. He certainly must have forgotten, for when she got through singing ho began to applaud--actually began to clap his hands through force of habit. His Fister caught him by the arms to re- strr.in him, and ho saw surprised faces glaring at him from tho front.

Then ho realized In a flash whata horrible "break" ho had made. He curled down into the seat and did not look up again during the Tribune. A. few days ago W. IT.

Occasionally this astounding affinity is faithful to a single Species of in sect, which thus becomes tho sole sponsor of the blossom, without whoso association the orchid would become extinct. 'A re markable instance of this special addpta tion is seen in the great Angrseoum orchid of Madagascar, described by Darwin, in psniuob as this species glorifies Darwin's fultb in the truth of bis theory and mark: a notable victory in tho long tnttlo for iti supremacy. Among tbe host of skeptics--and were they not legion--who met this evolution ary and revolutionary theory with lucre dulity, not to say ridicule or Worse, 'waft on who thus challenged its author shortly after the appearance of his "Fertilization of Orchids," addressing Darwin from Madagascar substantially as follows: "Upon your theory of olution through natural selection all the various contrasting structural features of the orchids'have direct reference to some insoct which shall best cross fertilize them.

If an orchid has a nectary an inch long, an insect's tongue of equivalent length is implied; a nectary 6 inches in length likewise implies a tongue 0 Inches long. What have you to say in regard to an orchid which nourishes here in Madagascar possessing a long nec- tary as slender as a knitting noodle and 1 11 inches in length? On your hypothesis there must bo a moth with a tongue 11 inches long, or this nectary would nine been elaborated." Darwin's reply wis inngniUcent in its proof of tho Hublimo conviction of tbo truth of his belief, "Tho existence of nn orchid with a slender nectary 11 inches in length and with nectar secreted nt its tip is a conclusive demonstration of tho existence of inolh with a tongue 11 inches in length, though no btieh moth is known."

Two Critics of Whitman. Eminent critics often arrive at directly opposite results, says John Burroughs in Tho Atlantic. Two such judges and lovers of poetry as Emerson and Lowell, for instance, held directly opposite views about Whitman. A little search would no doubt reveal the grounds of this difference. Whitman approximated to the Emersonian type more than to tho Jjowellian--thp type of tho skald, tho prophet.

Lowell was a professipniil critic and scholar--h'q was of the order of tho true men of letters--while Emerson suggests the saccr vatos pf a nation. Lowell's' sense of literature as a craft, as the work of scholars, academic pride and esprit, wero offended by Whitman's. rqdo, open air spirit and bis scorn of the stock poetic. Shall we prefer poetry in its shirt sleeves to poetry in'a dress suit? All the collegian In him revolted. Lowell would read Whitman through Chauoer, Shakespeare, Dante and Harvard college, and would find that ho did not square with any of tho potifc-5, or with tasic founded upon them.

Emur.son would read Whitman with much more individual eyes, through his appreciation of the great mystics, prophets and seers nnd his enormous appetite for the auclnclous, the independent, the heroic in life and character. A German doctor, who has been collecting information about the Jiabits of Jong lived persons, finds that the majoA of those who attained old age Indulged in late hours.
