BEST GAMBLING SYSTEM.
The One Tbnt Will Surely Dent Fare
and Roulette.
"Every conflrmed gambler in the
world has spent more or less time try
ing to figure out some system to heat
the game." said a well known northern
sporting man. "The commonest and
most plausible scheme Is the one known
as 'progression.' It Is simply a dou
bling of bets 'until a winning occurs,
and theoretically it is perfect, but the
trouble Is that all gambling games
have a limit, and the doubling process
Increases a wager with such enormous
rapidity that it is apt to get over the
stipulated amount before the winning
takes place.
"I was at Monte Carlo last spring,"
continued the speaker, "and was sur
prised at the number of touts who in
fested the grounds peddling 'sure
thing' systems to break the bank. The
ludicrous part of It was that most of
the peddlers were seedy and poverty
stricken In appearance, yet they pur
ported to sell Secrets which would In
fallibly enrich any purchaser. I asked
one fellow why be didn't try his sys
tem himself and buy -a new hat. and
he replied very glibly that he was
'working for a syndicate' and under
bonds not to play.
"Nearly all of these systems are
based on progression and would be im
possible In high play owing to the ca
sino limit. Nevertheless 1 saw a num
ber of small progression players' at the
tables .and was told that they have
been a fixture there for many years,
They were nearly all horrible looking,

they were tolerated about the place on
account of aire and Infirmity and that
their dailv winnings were regarded in
the light of a pension.
' MIn the days of open gambling In
New Orleans '1 member' there used
to be several broken down sports who
were said to make a living off the
games by progression playing.' I have
my doubts about it however. The

Writing of ."The Loveliest Woman In

thrilling adventure of Emily Marshall,
the famous Boston beauty, at Niagara

Job Smith, attempted to go under the

distance under the sheet of water there
was a rumbling noise and a commotion,
and a part of the ledge which formed

Marshall off from her companions by

her but a small stone in the swirling
torrents to stand upon. . . v '

STATEMENT BY BRYAN.
As to Causes of the Results of the
Recent Election. A Surprise to
Both Parties.
Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 8. William Jen
nings Bryan tonight gave out thefollow
ing statement concerning the election:
"The result was a surprise to me and
the magnitude of the Republican victory
was a surprise to our opponents as well
as to thoe who voted our ticket. It is
impossible to analyze the returns until
they are more complete, but, speaking
generally, we seem to have gained in the
larger cities and to have lost in the
smaller cities and in the country.
'The Republican were able to secure
tickets or passes for all their voters who
were away from home, and this gave
them considerable advantage. We have
no way of knowing at this time how
much money was spent in the purchase
of votes and in colonization; but while
these would account for some of the Re-
ublicau gains, they could not account
or the widespread increase in the Repub
lican vote. The prosperity argument
was probably the most potent one used
by the Republicans. , They compared
present conditions wjth the panic times
of 1893 to 1896, and this argument had
weight with those - who did not stop to
consider the reason for the change. The
appeal, 'stitnd by the president while the
war is on,' had a great deal of influence
among those who did not realize that a
war against a doctrine of self-government
in the Philippines must react upon
us in this country. We made an honest
fight upon an honest platform, and, hav
ing done our duty as we saw it, we have
nothing to regret.
"We are defeated, but not discouraged
The tight must go on. I am sure that
Republican policies will be repudiated by
the people when the tendency of these
policies are fully understood. The con
test between plutocracy and Democracy
cannot end until one or the other is com
pletely triumphant" .
Concerning himself Mr. Bryan said:
"I have come out of the campaign with
perfect Lealtn and a. clear ; conscience.
did my most to bring success to the prin
ciples for which 1 Btood. Mr. Stevenson
did all that be could: 3enats.irJones and
the members of theDenfocratic, Populist,
silver Republican and anti-imperialist
committees did all they could. Mr,
Hearst and bis associates in the club or
ganization put forth their beet efforts.
Our newspapers, our cambaiarn sDeakers.
and our local organizations all did their
part. I have no fault to find and no re
proaches. I shall continue to take an
active interest in politics as long as I live.
I believe it is the duty of citizens to do so
and in addition to my interest as a citi
zen I feel that it will require a lifetime of
work to repay the political friends who
have done so much for me. I shall not
be a senatorial candidate before the leg.
islature which has been elected. Senator
Allen deserves the senatorship which goes
to tne fopuusts. Mr. Hitchcock and Mr
W. H. Thompson are avowed candidates
for the senatorship. They both deserve
well of the party and I am too grateful
to tnem for past support to stand in
their way if I -desired a seat in the sen
ate."! . ,
Mr. Bryan said he has no other plans
at present than to remain at home until
he had recovered from the fatigue of cam
paigning. - He denied the report that be
would remove from Nebraska and make
Texas his home.
