THE GAME PLAYED BY PRINCE OF WALES. What it is and How it is IMaved Gambling: in English High Life It Puodnces a Great Scandal. ERY much has been said recently about baccarat the game which has caused such scan del in "high so ciety" in England, and in which the Prince of Wales has been placed s in a very unen- .sss viable light as a common gambler. That our readers may understand what it is more fully we publish the following from the New York Press: Baccarat is one of the simplest of all games of chance and ranks on a level with vingt-et-un and rouge-et-noir, which are conceded to be child like in their simplicity. Yet in that very simplicity 'rests the danger. A novice at card playing, who can add a few simple figures together, can com pete with the oldest gambler who haunts the card tables. The game is pre-eminently an English one, being played in all the gambling establish ments of the United Kingdom, and as shown by the present scandal growing out of Sir William's libel suit at many a quiet game among England's aris tocrats. It is also a favorite, but not to such an extent, in the Parisian cafes. At Monte Carlo the baccarat tables are never deserted and the fascination the game has upon those who once engage in it has been the cause of many a suicide. At Tranby Croft the select circle which engaged in it, being so sure of one another's honesty, did not take the trouble of procuring a regulation green baize covered table upon which to play, but simbly placed j three small tables side by side and covered them with paper. Had a proper one been used Sir William's alleged cheating could not have been carried on. When a small party engages in the play a table three feet square is used. At one end sits the dealer. In front of him a slit is cut into the table large enough to allow of the passage of chips into a drawer underneath. To the right and left of the dealer sits players. Chalk lines are drawn the table from the dealer's end both sides to the opposite end of table, and several inches from the on on the the edges where the players are sitting. Chips representing the bets made by the players are placed outside these lines. At Tranby Croft the position of the players was left to their choice, as it was but "a family party." Any number of packs of cards are used, and the game may be played by any number of people, all of whom bet against the dealer. Outsiders are even at liberty to bet on a player against the bank. The pasteboards are dealt from a box resembling in shape a faro box, or the more familliar cigar box. This is supposed to guard against any temp tation on the part of the banker to "lift" or charge a card which he would ordinarily deal and which he knew would be to his disadvantage to give out. Figure cards kings, queens and knaves count ten, the others according to the spots on their faces. The object of the players is to make 9, 19 or 29, when, if they hold such a combination, they have what is called a "natural" hand. But two cards are dealt out to each player by the dealer, who, of course, serves himself last. Prior to the dealing bets are made with chips purchased before the game. It may so happen that in the first hand a player gets a face card and nine spot. In that event he holds a "natural" hand and wins. He announces that fact, and the banker pays all who hold superior hands to his own, their stake and an equal amount in addition, and "rakes" in the stakes of all who hold a lower hand than his. Frequently a. player will "stand" with cards counting eight, eighteen or twenty-eight, and take the chances of holding a better hand than the dealer. If he does he wins. If he is not satisfied with his hand and believes that he can better it, he is entitled to two more cards. In doing so he risks ex ceeding twenty-nine, in which case he forfeits his stakes to the dealer. A spectator standing behind a playsr's chair and seeing that he has a good chance of winning may place a bet on his hand, and the dealer is compelled to accept it. In such an event the better must not move around the table until the play has been decided. This would be manifestly unfair even under the singularly elastic rules under which the game was played at Tranby Croft. At the opening of the game the banker announces the limit of the bank. Albert Edward ran one of 100, and in that now famous series of games the stakes varied from five to ten shillings. Gordon-Cumming proved himself to be somewhat of a plunger, and frequently bet as high as 15 and never less than 5. Another feature of the game which seems to have been indulged in by those brought into such unpleasant notoriety was the acceptance of a bet without the money havin? been actually placed on the table. That method of placing a j - wager is dubbed by the knowing ones as "marked." It is seldom used, as at card playing as in everything else, "business is business." The game is usually "call," all bets being duly registered with chips. At Monte Carlo, where the game is reduced to a science, as soon as it is "called" two croupiers move around the table and count the bets, reporting to the banker, who can thus tell to a cent the exact amount of his liability. His Royal Highness, according to the testimony, did not seem to take that trouble. Another fact which helped out the alleged crooked transaction on the part of the member of the Guards is that the chips they used were made of leather, and were con sequently noiseless. The defendants allege that the complainant would slyly drop extra checks on the top of his pile when he found he held a good hand. If that is so it reflects upon the royal banker's ability, as he should have had the chips placed be yond the reach of the players after the bets were made and kept his eye upon them. The alleged discovery of dishonesty was made on September 8, 1890, when Host Arthur Wilson, who sat next to Sir William, believed he saw him drop a chip on top of his pile. He claims to have been very shocked at this, and to make sure that he was right communicated his suspicions to Berkeley Levett, one of his guests. The two men decided to catch Sir William in the act, and the next even ing the improvised gambling table was replaced by a regulation table. The Prince of Wales was placed at the head, and on his right, near the oppo site end, sat Green and Wilson. Directly facing the banker sat Mrs. Green, Sir William, Lady Coventry and General Owen Williams. Mr. and Mrs. Green and Wilson were thus in an excellent position to watch the play, while Levett, who did not join in, also kept an eye upon it. It was not long, the defendants claim, before they discovered Sir William's sin. Gieen was even so taken aback at it that he left the room at once. The sequel of this now famous game was an interview between the accused man and the Prince of Wales, when the former signed, under undue in fluence, as he now claims, the follow ing pledge: "In consideration of the promise, made by -the gentlemen whose names are subscribed, to preserve silence with reference to an accusation which has been made in regard to my conduct at baccarat on the night of Monday and Tuesday, the 8th and 9th of Sep tember, 1890, at Tranby Croft, I will on my part solemnly undertake never to play cards again as long as I live. William Gordon-Cumming." Those who signed the agreement were the people whose suspicions are alleged to have been aroused. From the testimony elicited it is certain that Sir William did not make the matter public. Some one did. Was it his Royal Highness, Mr. or Mrs. Lycett Green, Mr. or Mrs. Arthur Wilson or Berkeley Levett? Whoever may have made the scandal public the fact re mains that had the heir to England's throne studied his Hoyle closer the game would have been carried on with out affording temptation to any one to juggle with the chips. " 'TIS I, OH, FATHER! ONLY 11" Eugene Field, the jester, has again and again treated his readers to bits of verso as charming as this. It will always be so the close cammunionship of humor and pathos: I thought myself indeed secure 80 fast the door, so firm the lock; But lo! he toddling comes to lure My parent care with timorous knock. My heart were stone could it withstand The sweetness of my baby's plea That timorous, baby-knocking, and, "Please let me in it's only me." I threw aside the unfinished book. Regardless of its tempting charms, And opening wide the door, I took My laughing darling in my arms. Who knows, but in eternity I, like a truant child, shall wait The glories of a life to be, Beyond the Heavenly Father's gate? And will that Heavenly Father heed The truant's supplicating cry, As at the outer door 1 plead, " "Tis I, oh, Father! only 1?" An exchange says in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth and all things therein. He then created man and woman, and left the loafers on the corners, and in due time they multiplied and then spread into the post-offices, and depots and the stores. In the latter place they sit and explain State and national prob lems that have vexed great minds, and partially by sampling goods. While he is thus engaged his wife is out wash ing for her neighbors, and the poor helpless children are left at home to care for themselves as best they can.

An Invitation Extended the President to Attend the Southern Exposi tion in October or November. PRESIDENT HARRISON. ORMAL in vitation has been given President Harrison to at tend the South ern Inter-State Exposition at Raleigh in Ocfo ber or November, and while he his acceptance by a definite reply in the affirmative, he expressed warm ap preciation of the cordial manner in which he was invited, and promised to come if he could so arrange his business affairs at the time. A press dispatch from Washington gives the following details: The delegation, numbering about 100 prominent gentlemen, was headed by Senator Ransom who, addressing the President in a conversational way, said that he had the great honor and the great pleasure of presenting to the President this delegation of gentlemen from the Southern States, a very large number ot whom were from his home, some from the thirteen States and the city of Raleigh. There were people of that State and adjoining States who were distinguished in history, and he desired to express to the President the great wish of the delegation that the President and his Cabinet visit the Southern Exposition in October. The present delegation, he said, was the largest ever visiting Washington for such a purpose. The Senator said that owing to the necessary absence of the Governor of North Carolina, who, he was informed, could not leave the city or cross the State line for official reas ons (there being no Lieutenant-Governor), the honor of presenting the delegation was conferred upon him. The President and the delegation seemed quite amused at the excuse of the Senator for the Governor's absence, and the former said : "There is no reflection on your people, I hope." The Senator answered happily and wittily. The President then said that he appreciated the very cordial invita tion of the many who had come from their homes and the impressive cor diality of the invitation, and he felt that it ought to receive serious consid eration. At this point Senator Ransom said that his old friend, Senator Edmunds, were he Present, would say that it was the duty of the president of the United States to accept such an invitation from the people. The President replied that it was kind of the Senator and the delegation to put it in such terms. "Of course," he said, "I cannot tell what might happen ; but I can assure you that I do not doubt at all the evidence of your respect or your assurance, and I am sure I would be received with cor diality and kindness, which is very gratifying and greatly appreciated." He said, however, that he could not make promises. He was very chary about making promises all through his political life, because of criticisms passed upon them. When he came into the white house he adopted a rule never to make promises which might interfere with public business. During October and November, he, as well as the delegation, anticipated busy times, because of the reassembling of Con gress. He was obliged, he said, to leave the matter open. He was, how ever, in full sympathy with every movement for the display of the coun-: try's raagrrlcent development and j material prrity in the arts and sci ences. He would bear the invitation in mind, and when the time arrived he would see if he could arrange busi ness to accept the invitation. j Hon. Patrick Walsh, then, on behalf of the people or Georgia and also of North Carolina, invited the Presi dent to visit the Augusta exposition at the same time. He said : "I wish to say to you that the people of these states are Americans and that they are patriotic and that you will be received as President of the United States with open hearts and arms.' Mr. Wm. E. Ashley, of Raleigh, the architect of the Exposition, then pre sented the President with a handsome invitation made of Southern pine, in the form of a book, the inside of which contained samples of the productions of North Carolina, including leaf tobacco, cotton and mica. On the inside was an inscription as follows. "The citizens of the southern section of the Union send an earnest invita tion to Benjamin Harrison, Presinent of the United States, and his cabinet to visit them at the capital city of 'The Old North State,' Raleigh, N. C.,' during the Southern Exposition in October and November, 189 1." Senator Ransom then presented each member of the delegation indi vidually to ; the President, who g3ve thera all a . hearty welcome. Mayor Batger,- of Raleigh, was introduced as the grandson of Hon. George E; Badger, who was secretary of the navy under the President's grandfather. He was given a cordial greeting and said : "Mr. President if Secretary Tracy should get tired of his job, I would like to take my grandfather's place as you did your grandfather's." The Pres ident laughed at this happy sally. After inviting the President the delegation waited on the Cabinet offi cers and invited them to attend the exposition. Postmaster-General Wan amaker and Secretary of Agriculture Rusk promised to go. Delegations also waited on heads of departments, several of whom accepted the invita tion. Director Powell, of the geolog ical survey, expressed great interest in the geological survey just begun in North Carolina and said it would be a great pleasure to attend the exposi tion. The committee that waited on the Cabinet officers was composed of Sen ator Ransom, Messrs. Patrick H. Walsh, editor of the Augusta, Ga., Chronicle; M. Glennan, editor of the Narfolk Virginian ; Maj. R. S. Tucker, E. A. White, Col. W. H. S. Burgwyn, J. C. Pritchard, Col. Paul B. Means, Col. T. B. Keogh, Hon. A. H. A. Williams, W. H. Snow, P. M. Wilson and John Nichols, of North Carolina. Maj. W. H. Malone was chairman of the committee that waited on the fish Commissioner ; T. H. Wilcox on Com missioner of Education ; N. J. Leary on Commissioner of Patents ; Capt John A. Williams on Commissoner of the Land Office ; Dr. H. B. Battle on the Chief of the Weather Bureau ; R, T. Gray on the Commissioner of Pen sions ; Josephus Daniels on the Direc tor of the Geological Survey and the Superintendent of the Census. The committee feel confident that to-day's work will bring a large number of dis tinguished men to the Inter-State Ex position. IS IT WISE i Progressive Farmer. Is it wise for the friends of reform in our national affairs to ignore the reform of the tariff and put all their strength into the agitation in favor of the Sub-Treasury bill and in favor of the free coinage of silver? We answer this question without one moment of hesitation with an emphatic negative. It is constantly assumed by the reform press that the tariff is not a financial measure at all. This assumption is violent and unfair. It is, indeed, the most vital financial question that is now before the people, or that can come before the people. Any other measures of financial reform will be only partial and unsatisfactory with out such a modification of our tariff system as will amount to the entire regeneration of our customs regula tions. The mere statement of this truth must carry conviction to any mind that is capable of reasoning upon these questions at all. Some who read this article may be inclined to say that the free silver issue should not be abandoned in favor of the tariff issue. Most certainly not. Those who think that the pressing of the tariff reform issue involves the abandonment of the free silver issue, have little ability to think upon this or upon any other question of public policy. These two issues are related, and they should be pressed together. The Ocala demands call for reform in the tariff just as loudly and just as im peratively as they call for the free coinage of silver. And those who exalt the one and slur the other over as unimportant, are not wise. To select one issue out" of such a complication of infamous legislation as the country is suffering under at the present time is a very short-sighted and narrow, if not a positively blind and fatuous policy. But toward such a policy the agitations and discussions within the Alliance seem to be drift ing. One hears a good deal nowadays about being true to Alliance demands; and nor a few men have been de nounced as Judases and traitors to the Alliance, because they do not agree with the majority upon certain ques tions of method. We want to remind those who are so ready to deal in de nunciations against their brethren, that the reform of the tariff is just as much a part of the Alliance demands as is free silver. And we want to re mind our brethren also that the man with one idea is dangerous in more senses than one. We are in favor of free silver, because we think the Alliance can get these measures, because we think that the men in the other parties, who will help them to get these reforms, will be will ing to unite with them to secure any other reform that may be demanded for the good of the country. We say it emphatically that those who press the silver issue to the ignoring of the tariff issue, are neither wise advisers nor safe leaders in this crisis. HONORING GRANT. UNVEILING OF A STATUE OF THE GREAT SOLDIER. Erected to His Memory at Galena, Illinois An Eloquent Oration by Chauncey M. Depew His Esti mate of Grant as a Soldier and Politican His Life Reviewed. LLINOIShas at last seen erected within her borders a fitting monument to the memory of Gen. Grant. At Galena, his old home, a few days ago there was un veiled a statue of heroic size, in the presence of a mul titude of people. Hon. Chauncey M Depew, of New York, who has been styled "Our National Orator," deliv ered the address of the occasion. Among other things he said: Grant's career will be the paradox of history. Parallels cannot be drawn for him with the great captains of the world. Historians, by common con sent, place Alexander the Great, Han nibal, Julius Caesar and Napoleon Bo noparte in the front rank. But each of them had learned the art of war by continuous service and unequalled op portunities,and displayed the most bril liant qualities at every period of their achievements. Hannibal and Caesar had won universal fame in the thirties. Alexander died at thirty-three, grieving because he had no more worlds to conquer, and Napoleon, at thirty- seven, was master of Europe. But Grant, at forty, was an obscure leather merchant in Galena. As a cadet at West Point he had risen only just above the middle of his class. As a subaltern on the frontier and in Mex ico, he had done no more than per form his duty with the courage and capacity of the usual West Pointer. He had pursued agriculture with his usual care and industry. He was not afraid to do the work of the farm himself, nor ashamed to ride into St. Louis upon the load of wood which he was to sell, or to pile up for his customer, and yet almost any farmer in Missis sippi was more successful. Clients failed to retain him as surveyor, his real estate office had to be closed, and he was not a factor in the tanners' firm. But the moment that the greatest responsibilities were thrust upon him, and the fate of his country rested upon his shoulders, this indifferent farmer, business man, merchant, be came the foremost figure of the cen tury. The reserved powers of a dom inant intellect, which ordinary affairs could not move, came into action. A mighty mind which God had kept lor the hour of supreme danger to the Republic grasped the scattered ele ments of strength, solidified them into a restless force of orgauizad victory. He divined the purposes of the enemy as well as he knew his own plans. His brain became clearer, his strategy more perfect, and his confidence in himself more serene as his power in creased. He could lead the assault at Donelson, or the forlorn hope at Shiloh, or manoeuver his forces with exquisite skill and rare originality of resources at Vicksburg, as the best brigade or corps commanders, or be fore Richmond calmly conduct a cam paign covering a continent, and many armies with consummate generalship. Lincoln's faith and power protected Grant from the cabals of the camp, from the hostility of the Secretary of War, from the politician in Congress, and from his constant and extreme peril, the horror of the country at a method of warfare which sacrificed thousands of lives in battle and assault for immediate results. But time has demonstrated that this course was wiser in tactics and more merciful to the men than a Favian policy and larger losses from diseases and ex posure. Without this impregnable friend Grant s career would on many j occasions have abruptly closed. With- ) out the general in supreme command, j upon whose genius he staked his ad- I ministration and to whose skill he en- j trusted the fate of the republic, there might have been added to the list of j illustrious patriots who have fallen vie- j tims to the unreasoning rage of a de- j feated and a demoralized people, the name of Abraham Lincoln. j The most signal services rendered by Grant to his country were at Appo- j mattox, and in his contest with Presi- j dent Johnson. The passions aroused by the civil war were most inflamed when the Confederacy collapsed. Grief and vengeance are bad counsellors. One serene intellect was possessed of an intuition which was second to prophecy, and was clothed with power. He saw through the vindictive sugges tions of the hour, that the seceded States must be admitted to the Union, and their people vested with all the rights of American citizenship, and all the privileges of State government, or the war had been fought in vain. He sternly repressed the expressions of joy by his troops as the vanquished enemy marched by, with his famous order, "The war is over, the Rebels are our countrymen again, and the best sign ot rejoicing after the victory will be to abstain from all demonstra tions on the field," There have been many Presidents of the United States and the roll will be indefinitely extended. We have had a number of brilliant soldiers, but only one great general. The honors of civil life could add nothing to the fame ot General Grant, and it has been often argued that his career in the PresirkY detracted from his rep utation. Such will not be the judgment of the impartial historian. He was without experience or training for public life, and unfamiliar with politi cians and their methods. The spoils system from which he could not escape, nearly wrecked his first ad ministration. His mistakes were due to a quality which is the noblest of human virtues, loyalty to friends. Even at this short distance from scenes so vivid in our memories party rancor has lost its bitterness and blindness. The President will be judged not by the politics or policy of the hour, but according to the permanent value of the republic, of the measures which he promoted or defeated. The fifteenth amendment to the constitution was sure of adoption as one of the logical results of the war. By it the Declara tion of Independence, which had been a glittering absurdity for generations, became part of the fundamental law of the land, and the subject of pride, and not apology to the American people. The President's earnest ad vocacy hastened its ratification. On great questions affecting honor and credit of the nation he was always sound and emphatic. A people rapidly developing their material resources are subject to frequent financial conditions which cause stringency of money and commercial disaster. To secure quick fortunes debts are recklessly incurred, and debt becomes &ic author of a cur rency craze. President Grant set the wholesome fashion of resisting and reasoning with this frenzy. Against the advice of his Cabinet and many of his party admirers he vetoed the In flation bill. He had never studied financial problems, and yet the same clear and intuitive grasp of critical sit uations which saved the country from bankruptcy by defeating fiat money, restored public and individual credit by the resumption of specie payments. The funding ot our war debt at lower tate of interest made possible the magical payment of the principal The admission of the last of the rebel States into the Union, and universal amnesty for political offenses quick ened the latent loyalty of the South and turned its unfettered and fiery energies to that development of its un equalled natural wealth which has added incalculably to the prosperity and power of the Commonwealth. 1 nese wise measures will ever form a brilliant page in American history, but the administration of Gen. Grant will have a place in the annals of the world for inaugurating and success fully carrying out the policy of the submission of international disputes to arbitration. The Geneva Conference, and the judicial settlement of the Ala bama claims, will grow in importance ana granaeur witn time, as tne na tions of the earth disband their arma ments and are governed by the laws of reason and humility, they will recur to this beneficent settlement between the United States and Great Britain, and General Grant's memorable words upon receiving the freedom of the city of London : "Although a soidier by education ana profession, 1 nave never felt any sort of fondness for war, and I have never advocated it, except as a means of peace and they will hail him as one of the benefactors of man kind. We are not yet far enough from the passions of the civil strfe to do full justice to the genius of the General who commanded the rebel army. England's greatest living general, Lord Wolseley, who served with him, assigns him a foremost place among the com manders of modern times. He pos sessed beyond most leaders the loyal and enthusiastic devotion of his people, and he was the idol of his army. In estimating the results and awarding the credit of the last campaign of the war, we must remember that General Lee had defeated or baffled every op ponent for three years, and that after contest unparalled in desperate valor, frightful carnage and matcless strategy he surrendered his sword to Grant. Workers in ornamental wood now assert that yellow pine, hard finished in oils, is the rival in beauty of any wood that grows, not excepting the costliest of the hard species, it being susceptible of receiving and maintain ing as high a degree of polish as any known wood, while, when impregnated with oil, it is almost indestructible. In such a condition it is impervious to even hot grease and other substances that leave an ineffaceable stain upon white pine, maple and various other woods.
