' JK sooner did the Citizen*' Committee BBbbsod?<u- rather, beemne Inactive These ropers arc organized nnl have their particular line ol victims. They arc selected and assigned to work on a * special class of people. They arc organised into a league, which is subdivided into classes. The fresh young roper, who IK Ol gOOIl MdUICHKUIUI ^'IIU'CI il|l|l< ;iuiiu<-, is assigned to a particularly swell hotel to work on the young dudes who conic here to spend their father's money. These "swell" ropers attend the hops and soon ingiutiate themselves with the visiting swells. After a few social games I of euchre or ten-cent ante, a fiicnd is invited to "sit in." This "fiicnd" proves to be an experienced gambler, who robs the victim tliat the young swell roper lias been nursing for him. Another feature of swell gambling life at the Springs is the gambler in ili?gubc of a real estate or mining operator. I hey put up at first-class hotels and have atried only on the i'hicago plan. While 1 the gambleis are busy looking for victims among the male guests, their wives are getting acquainted with other men's wives ami learning I he financial stains of their husbands. If wealthy, and inclined to be sociable, intiodtu lions are brought about and Sociable games ami wine luncheons follow, hater on the men have a quiet business game, and I he gambler robs his vieteiu. These gamblers' vvivei are adepts at cards, and can make a false cut and veer a curd as skillfully as tlicit husbands. They ca?ry a "lay out" of cards, poker checks, etc., "merely for pastime." They always invite their holy and gentlemen liieinls who call in the afternoon to play 11 "social game," and lliey always \\ in. A lavoiite dodge of these gamblers' wife* is to encourage silly young men, and eveu silly "old boys,"' iy.kf.i "I"'" * he in. A game of ten-cent too g'dhmT^eT^an!7r,to<Tir9it'TrTtWlWnnTrr" to win from a lady, or to even object to being .swindled, and so the gumhlei's wife manages to win enough pin money to pay hotel expenses. A retired showman spent about two months here this winter, and nreumulntcd more money than if he had been playing to crowded houses during the entiro season. He is considered a star poker player. Theic is perhaps more gamblers in Ho' tunings, and a gieater variety of it, thai in any oilier city with ten times its population. It is also a better lield, heeniiso there nie more verdant visitors here than iiny other point, it seems that a visitor loses his running as soon as he reaches this Amei ienn Monaco. At his home, or in any other city, ii would bo a very difficult ma tci to entrap him, if lie could be caught at all; but as soon ns hn !eiiehes this hot water (foinorrah he falls an easy prey to the bunco thief or smooth-tongued poker player.
