BILL ARP'S LETTER.
HE DISCUSS RS THE AGE OF GEORGIA
AND THE FERT11.1TY OF TEXAS.
Politics i Speckled but he and Cleve
land have Concluded to Keep hands oft"
of the Fight and let the Precession Pro
ceed. The State of Georgia has been set
tled over 200 years just think of it
has been in the Union 116 years.
Texas achieved her independence in
1835 and was admitted into the Union
in 1845 and here she is in full man
hood and abreast with any of her sis
ter States in the East. Her progress
has been wonderful for she has no
sea coast to speak of, and for vears
was beset with savages and specked
with outlaws and desperadoes who
had fled from justice m the older
States where they have all gone to
I do not know, but you don't find
a more peaceful, law-abiding popu
lation anywhere than you now find
in Texas. . More than that, you
can't find a people more advanced in
civilization, more hospitable, more
willing to give and take. The press
and the pulpit are the best indexes of
a community and you can't find bel
ter editors or better preachers any
where. Somebody laid ' the foundations of
this commonwealth broad and deep,
and I am proud that Georgians had
a good deal to do with it. Mira
beau Lamar and Rusk were both
Georgians. Miss Virginia Trout-
man, of Macon, made the first lone
star nag and presented to the com
pany who came out here to avenge
the massacre of Famin and his com
rades who were Georgians. From
that flag Texas took its name as the
lone star republic in Mirabeau
Lamar was the hero of San Jacinto.
To him Santa Anna delivered his
sword when he surrendered. He
gave it to his nephew, Larvissier
Lamar, who lived at Ledartown and
whom I often saw in Rome. He
died in the house of Judge Borders
at Cedartown, and through gratitude
for his kindness gave him the sword.
Judge Borders refused to part with
it, though often importuned, but now
he is dead, and as some of his sons
have settled in Texas it is believed
that the sword of Santa Anna will be
presented to the State by them. That
is right. They ought to do it and
I believe they will.
Of course Eastern Texas became
settled first for it was more like Geor
gia and Alabama and Tennessee.
There were woods and running water
and the soil was mixed with sand and
clay, but in later years the settlers
ventured into the prairies and rail
roads followed them and more immi
grants followed the railroads. The
cry is still they come. Every train
brings them, but the broad acres
seem boundless and the influx of
thousands seem to make but small
impression. The capabilities of a
single county are just immense, for
there are no mountains, no hill sides,
no poor lands, no waste. At Mexia
they market 30,000 bales of cotton
and it is all made in Limestong coun
ty. At Ennis they market 60,000
bales and it is make in Ellis county.
A cotton man told me that nobody
need depend on a short crop in that
region for it never happened. For
fear somebody may be deceived let
me sav that Mexia is pronounced
Mahayer with accent on the second
syllable, and Bexar is pronounced
Bayer, and Siano is pronounced
Yanno. Mexii has only 3,000 peo
ple, but you would think it had
io.ooo from the signs. The town is
crowded with wagons and the cot
ton bales cover acres of ground. The
railroad can't take it away half as
fast as it comes. Every store is oc
cupied and everybody at work. They
have the best of schools and teach
ers and don't owe, their preachers a
dollar. Their cemetery 'is adorned
with gravel walks and flowers and
evergreens. Trinity college is not
far away and I met about fifty of the
young men and their honored .presi
dent, Dr. Cockerell. It alarms me
and humbles my pride to stand up
before such cultured audiences as I
find in Texas.
But cotton is not all that you find
in these cotton regions. There was
a country fair in full blast at Minne
apolis and the exhibits of corn and
oats and hay and potatoes were
splendid. The horticultural display
surpassed anything that we can show
in the East, and as for politics it is as
thick as the leaves on the trees or the
grass on the plains. Everybody
reads it and talks it, but nobody gets
mad. The Dallas News and the Fort
Worth Gazette and the Hudson Post
are everywhere. I heard Farmer
Shaw speak in Athens to a large
crowd of Hoggites, I don't think
there was a dozen Clark men pres
ent. They won't go unless there is
a joint discussion. Farmer Shaw
made a capital speech and I congrat
ulated him and said it was the best
speech I had heard since I had been
in Texas. He thanked me and then
asked who else I had heard and I
said "nobody." Next day I heard a
neoro nreacher talk for Clark. He
said he was born in Scotland, educa-
ted in Canada, and naturalized in
Texas. He tore his hair and cavort
ed around smartly and used big
words like Shekana and Cherabm
and Seraphin and said that anybody
who said he was speaking for Rev
enue only was a liar.
One thing he said was impressive.
"I thank God" said he "that the time
has come, the long expected time,
the first time in the history of our
race where the negro's vote will be
counted. Whether we vote for Hogg
or for Clark or for Nugent our vote
will be counted. Where a Southern
negro votes for a Republican it is not
worth a notch on a stick for it will
not be counted, but now we negroes
have no Republican candidate in
Texas, we have met in convention
and resolved to support Judge Clark
and our votes will be counted. Then
let us stand by our Southern friends
hereafter and hold the balance between
them. The North has never done
anything for us and never will."
This reminds me of the quarrel I
overheard in the cars between two
darkies. One was a Methodist and
he said "'the Mefodist was de oldest
religion in America, and Mr. Wesley
brought it over here in a ship and
skattered it all over the country."
The other was a Baptist and he said
"I say de oldest religion, God sakes
man you don't know what you talk
ing about. De Baptist religion is de
oldest in the world. Old Noah was
the fust Baptist. He had water ail
over him and all under him and all
around him for forty days and forty
nights and he were a Baptist alore he
struck de ground when he come
outen de ark dar now." "Yes,"
said the other, "and he kept on bein'
Baptist, for when he couldn t git
water he took whiskey and got drunk
and cussed one half of his boys ontil
he was black in de face and daf's
whar all we niggers come from, de
white folks sav dar now."
Politics is speckled just like it was
r- - ' 1
a lew years ago in Georgia wnen
General Gordon ran against Major
Bacon for governor. The small
towns and the country people are
generally lor Hogg The cities and
the railroads and the great newspa
pers are all for Clark. But the com
fort of it all is that both parties, ne
groes and all are tor Cleveland and
and so Mr. Cleveland and I have
concluded to fceeD hands oft of the
fight and let the procession proceed.

Some time ago a well known news
paper man was walking up and down
the lobby at the House at Washing
ton with ex-Secretary ot State Hub
bard of Missouri, and some way or
other the conversation came around to
the immense number of cuspidors
used at the capitol, and a laughing
estimate was made as to the quantity
ol nlue and fine cul toDacco used
by the various departments.
Ex-Secretary of State Hubbad re
called an incident in the career of his
lather, who was a Methodist minister
of the old school. The family moved
irom Mississippi to iortn Carolina
when the ex-Secretaty was but a boy,
and his lather became pastor of a
Methodist church in Durham a short
time attef. Among other quaint
characteristics of the old time min
ister, he was an inveterate tobacco
ehewer, and was seldom seen without
a fair-sized "cud" tucked away in the
side of his mouth. The first Sunday
that the old eentlman preached in
Durham the entire Methodist circle
turned out : every pew was crowded
Prefacing his remarks with a few
words telling what a pleasure he had
n entering into this new held of use j
illness, Mr. Hubbard commenced
his sermon. He had not gotten 1
very far, however, when he seemed j
ill at ease, and crazed around the pul i
pit floor as if he lost had something.or
was looking- for something. The
arch was evidently unsuccessful, for
the minister, stopping in his dis
course, in somewhat thick and indis
tinct tones called out loudly :
"Is the sexton of the church pres
ent ?"
"He is," was the answer.
"Then bring me a spittoon quick,"
said the new minister.
The congregation was astonished
1 ! . 1
and in silence tne sexton went to
look for a cuspidor, he. with the con
gregaton, wondering what quaint ex
ample of the scriptural teaching the
minister was going to ulusrate with a
cuspidor, tseing unaoie to nnu in
the church the article in question,
the sexton returned with an earthen
jug and deposited it at the minister's
feet, while the eyes of the congrega
tion were steadfastly fixed upon the
new minister. The pulpit was an
open railed one and the congregation
plainly saw Reverend Hubbard push
the vessel with his foot to a convenient
spot, and then squirting a good half
pint of tobacco juice into it, quietly
resume his discourse.
Of course a good many
pious Methodists were badly
of the
shock -
ed, but the Reverend Mr. Hubbard
soon convinced his parishioners that
he was a devout and truly charitable
man and an eminently good preach
er, and when, afterwards, he main
tained a regular cuspidor as a necessa
ry adjunct to the pulpit, there was
not a man or a woman in the church
raised an objection even if some of
them did occasionally hint in their
weekly gossips that it didn't look ex
actly right. It was however a long
time before the shock of the first
demonstration of the minister's weak
ness was forgotten.

THE POPE AS HE ISf.
Serene Old Age at the Head of the Church
of Rome.
My path lies up the staircase along the
monumental gallery where the Swiss
guards are discoursing, still clad like
the troopers of Julius II; up the marble
staircase of three nights which are equal
to six ordinary ones at least, over the
Cortile San Daniaso, up three more
6tories, across halls so numerous that
my brain begins to swim and I hardly
know where I am. My turn has come.
I enter, bowing thrice. A hand takes
mine and gently raises me. "Be seated,
my daughter; yon are welcome." Pale,
upright and attenuated, hardly visible,
so little remains of material substance
within that wrapping of white linen,
there sits the holy father in a large chair,
"behind which stands a table surmounted
by a crucifix.
The light strikes full on the fine face
of the Latin prelate, throwing the deli
cate features into relief the features of
a face vivified, electrified, so to speak,
by a mind so fresh, enthusiastic, so val
iant for good, so alive for moral misery,
so compassionate to boddy suffering thai
its glance fills the onlooker with wonder.
It seems a miraculous dawn hovering
over a sunset. The incomparable por
trait of Chartrain alone can give an idea
of that eagle glance, hut even it has too
worldly ah effect, and all the flaming
mass of purple behind the snowy cassock
gives the cheeks a gleam and the eye a
brilliancy in the picture which are softer
in the pope himself.
To explain what I mean, I shall say
that I found the pope more spiritualized,
with a personal radiance . more benig
nant, less of a king and more of an apos
tle. A gentle benevolence, half afraid,'
it would seem, lurks in the curve of his
lips and shows itself only in his smile,
and at the same time the straight,
strong nose reveals the will the un
bending will, one that can wait. Led
XIII resembles a saint in some cathe
dral window, but what attracts and
rivets attention almost as much as his
face are the hands long, delicate,
transparent hands, with contours of un
rivaled purity hands which seem, wilh
cneir agate naus, onenngs ot precious
ivory laid upon a shrine.
His voice has a faraway sound, as if
it had traveled to a " distant country on
the wings of prayer, and loved rather to
soar toward heaven than to stoop to
mortal ears. Nevertheless in conversa
tion it returns from the Gregorian mon
otone with a note in major key. Besides
a mere trifle, a local habit lends hi3 dis
course a peculiar savor, a spice of na
tionality. Though the pontiff speaks
correct and elegant French, at every
moment the typical Italian exclamation
ecco breaks in with its two crackling
syllables. Mine. Seixino in London

A Story of Colonel Injjersoll.
A man who was a fellow passenger of
Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll at the time
of the occurrence tells how that famous
agnostic entertained a lot of Methodist
preachers on a railway train in Illinois
on one occasion. The colonel was in a
very social mood, and had been spinning
yarns to the narrator of this story, when
the train was boarded at Vandalia by a
number of the reverend brethren who
had been attending some denominational
gathering. Immediately an acquaintance
was scraped.
Colonel Ingersoll, without revealing
his identity, "soon had the entire party
hanging about him enjoying his flow of
wit. Men laughed till they cried who
looked as though they had not cracked
a smile for twenty years. At Marshall
the party left with many expressions of
regret. They all told us who they were,
where they had been, etc., but Colonel
Ingersoll was not equally confidential.
Finally one good old brother asked his
name. Ingersoll handed him his card.
He looked at it, and let it drop as though
it burned his fingers. His jaw fell, and
he looked as though he hr.d seen a ghost.
'All off for Marshall I' yelled the porter,
and they hustled out.
"They congregated on the platform,
and the old man who had dropped the
card whispered hoarsely, 'Brethren,
we've been a-talkin t' that awful atheist,
Bob Ingersoll !' 'Lord have mercy on us !'
ejaculated a pious brother as his chin
dropped down behind his collar. The
younger members of the party appeared
to rather enjoy the confusion of their
elders, and as the train pulled out I
heard one of them say, 'Well, men and
brethren, they do say that the devil is
not so black as he is painted.' ." New
York Tribune.
Time Wasted at Niagara.
"What are we stopping for?" the east
bound Chicago man demanded of the
conductor.
"Ten minutes at Falls View station to
see Niagara," was the reply.
"Ten minutes!" howled the Chicago
man. "That's an outrage. Why, j-ou
only stop twenty minutes for breakfast.
What does the company takes us for, a
lot of darned poets or what? I've never
seen the falls, but this is too much, and
I'll be blamed if I can stomach the
things now," and he pulled down the
curtain of his section in a sulk and de
clined to look at nature's great work.
When he reached New York he wrote
to his wife: "There were a lot of sickly
sentimentalists on board who kept
stopping the train to look at the water
works or I'd have been iere sooner. I'm
going to hustle around tomorrow and
get rid of that carload of hogs. I'll be
back Iby Thursday, but I shall travel by
some other route. Armour opens up

HOTTEST PLACE IN TOWN.
TVe iBTesMffator Wa Not Permitted,
Hewerer, to Tet the Heat Himself.
Three men sat in the Palmer House
trying to decide what was the hottest
plac.-tn Chicago. Engine rooms, loco
motive cabs and basements were sug
gested, hot it was finally agreed by the
trio that a big laundry was the hottest
place in tewn. One of the men jumped
up and declared his intention of going
into one just to see what it was like on
a hot day. His companions demurred,
and he went away on his investigation
alone.
But what a Chicago laundry is inside
in summer will forever remain a mys
tery to the uninitiated. The. curious
man didn't find out how the interior of
a Chicago laundry appeared. He met a
yotmg lady and gazed in at her over the
office desk.
"Can I go in and see the laundry run
ning"" he asked.
"Well um ah," said the young wom
an in some confusion, "hadn't you bet
ter come around on a cooler day?"
"No, th isn't it," said the man. "I've
seen laundries on cool days; what 1 want
to see is a laundry on a hot day. You
understand?"
"Yes, but yon see ah. well, you know
dear me, i don't know what to say,"
and the girl stammered in great embar
rassments "Oh, yon better let me in," said the
man, who had an indefinite impression
that the young woman was guying him.
He made for the door leading to the
laundry. The girl screamed: "Don't go
in. there! For goodness sake, go away
and don't ask any questions."
j "Look here," said the investigator,
I "what are you making so much fuss for?
I Now quiet down and tell me why I can't
go in.
"Well Um you know, it's awful
hot.
"Of course I understand that."
"Um ah pshaw! and the girls in
there, yon know you see there are girls
in there in there oh, please go away."
"I supposed there were girls in there.
I won't hurt them. What about nie
girls in there?" and the investigatbr fell
very much put out at the young woman's
stupidity.
"Oh, dear," said the young woman, "i
suppose 1 must. You see the girls in
there, the girls well, it is so hot, you
understand, that"
"That what?" blurted the investigator,
out of patience.
"That, oh, dear they haven't any el
they are decollete now go away.'"
And a brick house with stone trim
mings fell on the curious man, and he
shot out and around the corner like a
cannon ball from a catapult. Chicago

The Best nated Man in Africa.
Dr. Max Schapiro, of this city, has re
cently returned from an extended tour
to the southwest coast of Africa, where
he was sent as a collector of curios for
the Imperial Museum of Natural His
tory at Vienna.
The breeziest bit of information the
doctor has to impart relates to Henry M.
Stanley. He says Stanley i3 the best
hated man in all Africa. From the gov
ernors of the states to the lowliest sav
age on the continent there is no one, he
says, but has bitter contempt for him.
Dr. Schapiro says that the general talk
among the whites is that if Stanley ever
shows his face in Africa again he will
be roughly treated. This intense feel
ing, he says, is felt on account of Stan
ley's treatment of his guards and his
native warriors. Many express wonder,
now that it is all over, that Stanley suc
ceeded in reaching civilization again
alive, for it is claimed in Africa that his
cruelty to his men was sufficient to pro
voke mutiny.
When the names of Livingstone,
Nachtigall, Emin Pasha and others are
mentioned the natives have only the
kindliest words. The memory of the
former is greatly revered, the second
named has a handsome monument ( reel
ed to his memory at Cameron, and Emin
Pasha is today a favorite with every
body. About the only thing Stanley is
given credit for is his ability to make
money. They say Stanley is the only
explorer who ever went into Africa and
returned with a fortune. He made it.
Dr. Schapiro says, by selling the products
of the country to the ships that would
land at the ports nearest to his camps.

Tagiioni and Her Husband.
In 1852 Taglioni was at a dinner at
the Comte de Moray's. Just as they
were sitting down to table her former
husband, Comte Gilbert de Voisins,
came in and took the seat which was re
served for him. He was evidently not
aware of the presence of his wife, for
after a few minutes he asked his neigh
bor, pointing to her, "Who is this gov
erness looking old maid?" His neighbor
told him it was Taglioni. He showed
neither surprise nor emotion, but seemed
to be consulting his recollection; then
he said, "Is it? It may be after-all," and
went on eating his dinner. His wife
acted less diplomatically. She recog
nized him at once, and made a remark
to her host in a sufficiently loud voice to
be overheard.
Nevertheless, Comte Gilbert, whether
from deviltry or from a wish to be .polite,
went up to her after dinner with a
friend, who introduced him as formally
as if he and she had never seen one an
other. Taglioni made a stately bow. "1
am under the impression," she stud,
"that 1 have had the honor of meeting
you before, about the year 1832." With
this she turned away. San Francisco

Strange, but True.
It ought not to be so unusual to hear
Other people's views stated without bias.
But the penalty of doing this, if they
are unpopular, is to share the odium of
holding them. It was in this manner
in a country town one brief afternoon
a visitor depopulated a drawing room
in the four fold character of a Theoso
phist, a Catholic, a winebibber and an
anarchist, when he thought he was
merely answering questions. New York

Germany Canning Goods.
Germany intends to have pure and
cheap canned goods for her soldiers and
sailors, and in order to attain that end
has concluded to go into the business
herself. The government has expended
$400,000 in building a factory at Span

provisions for the army, and about 550
operators are to be regularly employed
there.
A WOMAN ON RAILROAD MANAGEMENT
She Protests on Principle and Bar Ob
jections Bear Fruits.
It is very disagreeable, ne doubt, to
have to make oneself objectionable to
one's fellow ereatures for the sake of a
principle, but it has to be done. Here
is a case in point. A carriage for ladies
only is not only a privilege to be ob
tained at the option of a guard, it is a
protection that must be demanded of
the railway companies as a right as un
alienable as separate compartments for
smokers and nonsmokers, luggage and
passengers. 1 took a first class ticket to
Hull. It is a long journey from King's
Cross.
A gentleman was shown in by the
guard, and I made objection at onea
"Please show this gentleman into an
other carriage," I said, "and make this
one for ladies only." "Will yon go into
the smoking carriage?" said the guard,
"that's the only other carriage there is,
unless yon change at Doncaste" But
very naturally the young man objected
to this, not being a smoker, and 1 man
fully took his part. "You ought to see
that you've proper accommodation, and
I am within my rights in demanding at
least one carriage for ladies only," this
to the guard. "But don't you go into a
smoking carriage and don't you be made
to change at Doncaster," I said to the
kind, gentle looking young man 1 was
playing the dragon to. Some other of
ficial came up at this juncture and made
the guard put up the necessary lapel en
my carnage, and hu manner betokened
that he evidently thought me a great
bore and that it was wiser to humor me
than not.
With the recent shocking occurrence
near Ruabon, and the thought of how
easily such a calamity could be made
impossible, it does seem stupid to have
had such an uncalled for wrangle at a
first class carriage door, over a matter
that ought to be obvious to the dullest
bumble that ever wore a company's
uniform. Apropos of the above, a' man
insisted on traveling in a carriage be
tween Altringham and Manchester the
other morning, where the notice for
ladies only was let into the window
pane. He only went the distance be
tween two stations, though, for 1 got
him hauled out bodily with ignominy
and his case has been taken in hand in a
way that will probably teach him that
if you are a thoroughbred cad there are
yet some limits to your indulgence in
the methods of such a one.
Also, coming home very late from
Brighton the other night, a man sprang
into the carriage wdiere 1 was, all alone,
but I protested lustily, as he was reek
ing of tobacco smoke and drink, and the
guard turned him out and into another
compartment. I do not at all relish the
companionship of that kind of a man
who gets by choice into the carriage oc
cupied by one solitary woman in an al

i have repeatedly expressed disproval
of the antisemitic agitation. In all
matters I am opposed to shallow gen
: ionization. When one hears people ex
press general opinions about English
men, Frenchmen, Germans etc., one is
always led to ask them, How many
Englishmen have you seen or known?
Perhaps twenty, and yet you judge of
20,000,000! 1 have known many Jews,
having been born at Dessau. Many of
:':y best friends were Jews. Now, it is
true that t here are black sheep among
the Jews, but to judge and condemn the
whole people by such is, it must be ad
miited. opposed 'to all rules of inductive
logic.
Tor a long time past 1 have preached
to every German in England that he is
individually responsible for the good
name of the German nation. I should
(ike to be able to preach the same to
every Jew. Every single Jew is re
sponsible for the good name of his race.
It every single Jew would feel this, or
if the community would let him feel it,
there would be no more antisemitism.
The practice of judging by the lump is
- the ruin of all science. The mischief it
can work in society and in the state is
shown to us by the excesses committed
by the antisemites. 1 am anti-antj-semite,
and shall remain so. Vienna

Two Excited Merchants.
A story is current in London about
Iavo Waterford merchants and hatter3
who once obtained an audience with the
present pope's predecessor. They were
old fashioned men and good, pious Cath

they were ushered into the room where
Pius IX, in all his papal splendor, was
waiting to receive them, both were so
overcome with emotion that they could
do nothing but stare in blank amaze
ment, trembling all over. At last one
of them found his tongue. Throwing
himself on his knees he shouted out loud
enough to be heard in every corner of
the vast chamber, "Oh, holy father, we're

YOUNG BROTHERS.
A MONTE CARLO STORY.
An Actor Relates His Experience in the
World Renowned Gambling Den.
"There has been a Btory going the
rounds in the east that I think you have
not heard," said one of the actors in a
local theater last evening, as he returned
to his pocket a letter bearing a New
York postmark.
"You will remember that K)ld Hose'
William Hoey has been spending a por
tion of his vacation in Europe, and he
lately returned, so my New York friend
writes, with $2S,000 of Monte Carlo
gold, besides his qther souvenirs of the
Old World. The other evening Hoey
told the story of his good fortune at
Monte Carlo to a party of friends, among
them my correspondent. This is the
way he tells it," and the actor proceeded
to read from the letter he had just re
ceived as follows:'
"We left London, five of us, June 8.
There was Billy Mann, Jimmy Powers,
Charley Evans and Max Bleiman.
"We went direct to Paris, where we
skated around for a week, and Mann
suggested that we go to Monte Carlo.
Charley went broke almost right away.
"We were playing roulette. I was
playing a louis at a time. I lost my
change. I had been playing the three,
hut the ball somehow didn't drop in the
three pocket.
"The rest got broke and urged me to
go along with them. I fished around in
my clothes and fftund a gold piece. I
forget the name of it, but it's worth
about ten dollars.
"I laid it on the three spot on the
table, and I'm blessed if she didn't
up. That paid 35 fori, and the waxy
mustached fellow shoved over, say, $350
in gold and notes.
" 'You dassen't leave it on three,' said
Evans. 'I dast' I said, and I did.
"It came up again, and that's God's
truth. Yon can ask any of them. That
made $12,250.
"I was for quitting, and we got out.
The next night I gave $10,000 to Max
Bleiman and ordered him not to give
me a cent till we got to Paris. I took
the balance and went back.
"I put the whole business, $2,250, on
the red. Up she came. I got even
money, and that made $4,500.
"It was too easy, and I escaped. They
all congratulated me.
"I gave Max $4,000, and the next
afternoon (I couldn't wait until dark) I
took the $500 and started again. There
was a big Russian in my seat, but he
was so struck on seeing me play the
previous night that he got up and in
sisted on my taking his seat.
"i knew he would play as I did, but
that was all right. Sure enough, I put
the $500 on the red and he leaned over
me and put $50 on the same. I won and
left it; he did the same. I won again.
"Then I put $100 between the two
zeros. I won again. That gave me
$1,700, or seventeen for one.
"The old Russian won about $4,000
and wanted to kiss me.
"My whiskers interfered and I ob
jected. I made two or three other bets
on the three, and altogether I cleaned
up $23,000.
"I'm telling the truth, and you can
prove it by Brown Brothers, with whom
I deposited $20,000 in London.
"Lots of people make bluffs about
winnings, but mine can be settled easily.
No. 3 suits me." Chicago Mail.
