- . - THE END THAT COMES, v ' ?? Two Stortes VVT?oh Tell or Trace dies in Gambling Hells. Atlanta ContiU?tiotu ? in a luxuirously furaishedjrpom, a $oa-, ; en men were gathered in ironB O if Stable. -Behind this tabled "two men were ait* ; v ting. One occupied a high arm chair, I which enabled him to overlook tue baud, and his companion sat with the ixsgged edgVof an old straw hatddrajivn down over his eyes, taking cards from a silver , bos.! B ' 1 The dozen men"were playing faro, and, save . for the sharp click of the ivory chips, not a so an d broke the stillness of the room. -\ I turned from watching the-cards fall N-ronthe two little piles in-front of the .. dealer to look at the gamblers. All the expressions of human agony were depicted on those faces. ; Despair, l^hdpe, amdety?a wild impatience to see the desired card come from the box, were ;.. all plainly written; on, the white, hungry iMhing countenances. Finally my eyes rested on a man younger than his fellows,,and evidently more desperate in hiB determination to conquer fate than all the others. I knew this young man's history. I had met him when he first came to the ^2; town and I had been told that he had '. money to invest and would probably y<-become a leading business man. For weeks I had not seen him, until by acci* Indent I met him there sitting at the gam* l^v^ing table, with the imprint of a confirm ^ ^ ed 'gambler plainly stamped upon his .. features. One by o? the bets he had spread on % thedifferen ards of the "lay out" were upswept awa' .n'til his last chip was gone. Withe: iking his eyes off the board, ? his hand echanically sought.his pock ^?etiand hv Jrew out a long chamois akin .bag. Still with his eyes .fixed on the cards he allowed the contents of .the bag ; to fall on the card immediately in; front of him. J;' . ; Thero were only two twenty dollar fS^ gold pieces, but if the queen on which l^ihey lay,' chanced to turn up, then there iV>rmight be a hope of regaining what he ; had lost. Slowly the cards fell from the box until finally the queen appeared. It fell in rpT. the wrong pilu, however, and with a adextrious sweep of the dealer's hand, the two twenties joined the great majori? ty in the cash drawer. ^Vx~j Still the young man sat there watch? ing the cards until the box was empty and the deal wi.s over. Then he rose, and, apparently uncon? scious of what fie was. doing, he passed ? into the front room, where a sideboard was kept well supplied with liquors for the thirsty gamblers. While ohuflliDg the cards the dealer in the chair said to the lookout: "I guijss he's broke," '^;:.^<Shp^diFl'tmnder/, replied he in the high chair. ."He's been losing every day for the last nionth." Suddenly the stillness of the room was ? broken. A loud report shook the walls, and a heavy fall made the chandeliers abrate. * With , one accord the gamblers rose '/^?'frdm the table and rushed! into the front ;\\.. ?/ .. ,*?;. f.i rt 3-53 ?? ; : .? % ?.Ov-:room.\; ?? -.? ' v / 'Stretched on the floor lay the body of ' . ; the young msn who had "gone broke." : : In his temple was an ugly hole, and he was d ead . } ' The suicide caused the gambling' house, to close its doors for a few days.- Within View hours, however, the same men who had witnessed the young; man's death were sitting at the other faro tables, and in the all-absorbing passion for play the example of the morning was forgotten. There is^nc-t a professioaal gambler in the country, who, if he were so disposed, could not tell of tragedies, of the ruin of young men, and even of the murders which have been caused simply and pure* t ; ly by the gaming table. An old man who, for many years, was known to the sporting fraternity of the : 1 .'west as Daniels, passed through Atlanta ; last week. Three years ago, by a lucky speculation, he acquired a comfortable ^' fortune, and now he is. livin g at his ease, ; ? ? ? taking no risks of any kind. "I am out of the business now," he ; r said, "so I don't mind telling you frankly p < that the player hasn't a ghost of a chance against the dealer in any game. You hear sometimes of a big winning made by a lucky player, but in the long run the money always finds its way back to the bank roll. If it wasn't an open and j shut thing there wouldn't be so many gambling houses, and the police wouldn't ?/v~be kept on the alert to suppress them." Old Daniels had dealt faro. for forty years, and he knew whereof he spoke. The glitter and apparent luxury of the gambler's life may seem attractive. But the outside public does not know of the days of want and semi-starvation, of the desperate longing for a stake with which to tempt fortune once more, or of the dangers from men made desperate which surround the professional gamester. Only a few months ago a terrible trag? edy startled one of our southern towns. A young man arrived in the city with - a large sum of money belonging to his widowed mother and young sisters. It had been given to him to invest, and with it he intended to secure the comfort of his family, and then go out into the -world and conquer fortune for himself. The first night he was in the town, he met a well-dressed, pleasant stranger. Together they went to the theater, and when it was over the stranger proposed a -visit to the gambling house, ifover hav? ing been tempted, he failed to realize' the temptation to which he was exposing himself. - - His new found friend explained the intricacies of faro, and persuaded him to risk a dollar or two on the turn of the cards. Gradually the young man became im* mersed in the game. With awful sud denness the gamblers' fever took posses* Bionof him. His blood boiled in hia veins, he forgot his surroundings, forgot the companion who had brought him to the place, and even his mother and sis* r ters were blotted out from his memory as though they had never existed. For hours he Bat there. The great roll of money which - he had in his pos ' session had gradually diminished, and : iuat as the gray light of dawn was strug? gling through the cracks in the closed -mutters, he awoke again to the reality of life and also to find himself a dishonored man, with the fortune intrusted to him gwept away in one night's insanity. As he rose to leave the place he in q lired for his companion, andj learned that he was one of the proprietors of the place., and after ensnaring his victim he had gone away to seek his comfortable repose. The early passengers on the streets that morning saw "a strange and terrible right. I They saw a young man, with his. face ?drawn and haggard by agony, rush by them, beating the air with his arms and crying on God Almighty to have mercy on iuai and let him die. ? Oat into the country the awful figure fled seeking a place where in solitude the &reat fight with remorse might be bat : tied'to the end. , Several hours later when the noise and turmoil of a great city at work had taken the place of the quietude of early morn? ing, the same figure returned the way it had gone. All traces of the overmastering emotion bad disappeared. The yonng man's face bore a set, determined look and he had evidently decided od Borne course of action. He sought the part of town where the gay and idle are wont to pass away their time, and as he went he looked into each man's face as though he were searching for some one. Finally he stopped in front of the plate-glass windows of a fashionable restaurant. Inside he saw his tempter of the night before, eating a sumptuous breakfast. Bare wines filled the glasses at his elbow, and attentive waiters were bringing to him coarse after course of delicately prepared food. For some time the yonng man stood outside intently gazing at the scene within. Then he threw wide the swing? ing doors and entered. Without halting or hesitating he approached the gam? bler. "Take a seat and have Borne break* fast," said owner of the the gaminghouse. "I do not care to eat. What I want," said the young man, "is the money yon made mo lose. It did not belong to me, and I want it back." The gambler only laughed. '"Yonng man," he said, "if you want a quarter or even half a dollar, you are welcome to it; but you must understand that what is fairly lost and fairly won is never returned." The lines about; the young man's face deepened, and he grew still moro ghast iy. "My mother's money ar.1 my sister's money," he whispered, "shall Dover go to feed a gambler's appetite." And drawing a pistol from his pocket be shot the handsome, smiling man in front of him through the head. Immediately he was seized and drag? ged o if to jail. Then came'the trial, and still later a verdict of insanity. "The jury was. right, for now the young man is a raving maniac, and the mother and ?isters who were to have been made comfortable are working night and day to pay the expenses of the trial, to keep themselves alive, and to Boppply some small comforts to the maniac in his con? finement Sayings About Women. ? A woman's tongue is her sword, which she does not let rast. Oa a mill, on a clock, and on a woman there is always something to repair. A man can defy public opinion; a woman most submit in resignation. Women do not know the value of a prudent person until they have married a stupid fello v. . Widows are like lights which have .always burned?they catch fire more easily than others. r;A girl's innocence is like milk, which a thunder storm, poisonous vapor, warm weather, even a breath, can ruin. i The woman's mightiest weapons are gentleness and - submissiveness. There have been more women ruined by women than ever were loved by men. ?love either forgives everything or nothing. . "Men make laws, women make morals. Women have no greater enemies than wonen. / The most charming object of nature is an amiable and virtuous woman. To 'marry for beanty is the same as baying a piece of land for the sake of the roses growing on it. The latter is even more sensibly, for the rosetime re? turns every year. Often marriage is like two drops of fat, which swim around on top of the water without ever flowing together. No ooe in the world behaves with less politeness to women than women them? selves. A French woman loves to the end of the honeymoon, the English woman her whole life, the German woman forever. The French woman takes her daughter to llhe ball, the English woman takes hem to Church, the German woman gives hem employment in the kitchen. The French woman has spirit and imagina? tion:, the English woman has little taste, the German woman modesty. The French woman chats, the English wo? man speaks, the German woman renders decisions. The Spanish woman kills her lover in jealousy, the French woman her rival, the English woman herself, the German woman simply renounces. But all at some time marry some one else. ? The women are running municipal politics in Kansas. The men have taken a back seat. They have discovered that the women can out talk them, and in fact, oot work them. The Equal Suffrage Association has its agents in all parts of the State, arousing the women to the ne? cessity for having oat a full vote at the spring municipal election. The registra? tion offices are thronged by women, who leave their domestic affairs, in many in? stances, ancared for, so anxious are they to register and get their friends to regis? ter, and so interested are they in the effort to bring out a big female vote. ? A singular concidence occurred re? cently in the death of two brothers by the name of James and David Crocker, living in Wake County, some seven or eight miles south of Raleigh, N. C. Both were born on the same day of the same month, but James in 1852 and Da? vid in 1855. Both died from pneumonia od the same day, the 12th of March. Both were buried in the same coffin. When married, both married Bisters, on the same day, and each one leaves a widow and six children. . Miss Sallie Griffin, of Martin's" Ferry, W. Va., a wealthy spinster, aged 48, advertised for a husband and got one in the person of Sherman Price, a man yonng enough to be her son. Saturday he induced her to go visiting and in her absence gathered up all the money in sight, about $500, and went off on a sol? itary bridal tour. This is one of the very rare instances where advertising does not pay.?Courier-Journal, Was Too Polite. The car was crowded. A slim girl got on at Illinois street, and several slim fellows bounced up and offered their seats. ' At Chicago aveuue a fat woman got on, but no fat man bounced up to give her a seat. There Bat, in the for? ward corner, a man that had come either from Egypt or southern Indiana, and when he saw the fat woman he got up and said: "Here, mizzeB, take this Beat." The woman waddled forward, thanked him and Bat down. He caught bold of a strap, looked at her for a few moments, and then, speaking so loud that every one could hear, remarked: "I notice that thar ain't many polite felless in this town." "Not very many," the woman assented. "I ain't so very polite myse'f," be went on. "Down on our way they think I'm putty tolerable rough at times." "I think you are very polite," the wo? man replied. "Mighty glad to hear you say so; always like to know that my little efforts find appreciation. I've done er good many mean things, I reckon, but there's, one thing I won't do if I can help it, and I mighty nigh always can, an' that's this: I never let a great, big fat woman stand up." The woman glared at bim. "No I don't," he went on, "I jest won't do it. My wife is a awful fat woman? : not as fat as you are, but putty tolerable ; fat. I can give you a pointer." I The woman, with more agility than she had doubtless shown for some time, sprang to her feet and exclaimed ; "I won't have your seat, sir I" "Jest as welcome to it as not, I tell you. I don't want to see you stand up, for I know that when my wife has to stand up it mighty nigh kills her, an' she ain't as fat as you are, nuther. Got shoulders mighty like yourn, but still she ain't so fat." "I want you to shut your mouth 1" the woman screamed. "Who, me?" he asked in surprise. "W'y, I'm your friend, mizzes. What, you going to get off? I am mighty sorry that I have disappointed you. Some* times it don't pay to be polite," he added, when the disgusted woman had left the car, "an' I reckon that is one of the things a feller has to guard against in a town like this." Facts About Cotton Seed OIK For human food, olive and cotton seed oils are far superior to lard, or to any other animal fat. Olive oil has held that rank in the estimation of scientists and medical men from the earliest period of recorded history. It is only of late years that analyses by chemists, experiments in diet by eminent pysiciaos and practi? cal use by skillful housekeepers have combined to demonstrate that in every respect and for all uses the oil of the cot* (on seed is equal to that of the olive. This fact once established, a market will be made for pare cotton seed oil that will be co extensive with that now occu? pied by olive oil. It will, indeed, bo come its competitor in all parts of the world. The Manufacturers' Record, of Baltimore, believing that the time has come when the South should make a vig? orous move in behalf of cotton i oil, instead of simply acting on the deii .sive in the repeated assaults made in Congress on the purity of this oil, after an elabo? rate investigation, has accumulated a mass of information, and proposes to publish next week the first of a series of articles that will cover the whole sub jec. In these it will be shown beyond controversy or shadow of doubt that cot* ton seed oil is the best salad oil in the world, and that it shonld be put upon the market on its merits, bearing its own name, and its excellence for all culinary purposes be persistently set forth until it receives popular approval and enters into as universal consumption as butter or lard. These articles, which run through several months, will prove of immense value to the whole South, by greatly widening the market for cotton seed oil. Solid for Orr. A postal card was sent out some time ago by the News and Courier to find the first choice for Governor, and it resulted from those heard from that Hon. J. C. Sheppard, of Edgefield, was first choice and Capt. B. R. Tillman was second choice. The county president of the Al? liance voted for J. L. Orr. Mr. Blake, in that vote, we think, did justice to the Alliance and to the people, if each should be worth anything. Colonel Orr is cour? teous and intellectual and we feel sure in saying that the chair could have no more honored guest than he. Were we a dele? gate, our first and second choice would be for him. Should the convention see fit to honor him will be much obliged and thank them kindly for their correct views and safe judgment.

The experience of Paris and New York horse car companies is said to be that gray horses are the longest lived and give the greatest amount of Bervice. Roan horses are about equally good. Black and cream colored horses lack staying power, especially in summer. Bays show an average. Black hoofed horses are the stronger and tougher. ?

C, is being much extended this year. From Raleigh to Littleton, on the Raleigh and Gaston Road, there are many vineyards, and some of them are very profitable. There are two vineyardB in North Carolina, the product of which probably aggregates between 30,000 and 40,000 gallons of wine. North Carolina is the native home of several of the best grapes known in this country. A Wilderness Tb-Dny?a City^ to-mor? row I One of the most notable things which any English syndicate has done in Amer? ica is the buildding of a city in what was before practically a wilderneBB. The city has sprung up, full grown, with public builings, banks, schoolhouaes, electric lights, telegraph; and' telephone-offices and all the paraphernalia of a large city, where a year ago there was not a house, It has street railways and mammoth hotels. Half a dozen railroads will cen? tre at this spot, and the first to pet in there is the great LouiBville and Nash? ville line, which reaches every place of importance in the South. The name of this city is Middlesborough, and its sit? uation is in Cumberland Gap. Fifteen millions of dollars have been put in there by the principal companies. Numerous sub companies depending on the main company are building gas works, electric light establishments, at tend to the sale of land, rind are erecting tremendous factories. It is an English manufacturing town, situated in the heart of the Cumberland Mountains. The streets and parka are all laid out, and the names, like the capital, are im? ported from England. In its immediate vicinity is found coal of all sorts?domestic, steam, smilhitg. cooking and cannel. There is iron ore of various kinds, clay and manganese ore, zinc, metallic paint, lead, cement, mar? ble and sandstone. There will be erect? ed a hotel, sanitarium, casino, modeled after the celebrated bathe of Homburg, Baden-Baden and other European re? sorts. Seven churches are already being built, besides the club bouse, an exhibi? tion hall, public library and Union depot. The town is situated from 1,000 to 2,000 feet above the sea level, and the experiment of building a whole city at once is looked at with some interest. ?

The distance between the oceans is one hundred and sixty-nine miles, but only twenty nino miles of canal will have to be dag. The San Juan River must be deepened. Lake Nicaragua affords fifty-six miles of free sailing. The Sues Canal, which was cut out of the soil and sand for one hundred miles, cost $81,000,000. ?? Considerable importance is attached to the formal opening of the factory of the American Pine Fibre Company, at Croneley, near Wilmington, N. C, which took place last week in the presence of a large number of interested spectators. The company is utilising the leaves.of the long leaf pine for commercial purpos? es, and the industry promises to become an important one. The origin of the company was in the operations of the Jute Trust. A substitute for jute became a necessity, and one of the substitutes discovered was pine fibre bagging. Bag? ging, matting, carpet-lining, etc., will be made out of the pine leaves. The mate? rial is plentiful, and the demand for the product is great. ? An old con ?et, just released from the Auburn Penatentiary, boasts of the fact that be was conducted to that insti? tution by Grovor Cleveland.

I be? lieve I am the only man in the world who has been escorted to prison by a Presi? dent of the United States.

J., has just given bis creditors a pleasant surprise. He failed in business about seventeen years ago, his creditors' claims amounting to $170,000, which he compromised at twenty-five cents on the dollar. Mr. Doremus told his creditors at the time that be would eventually pay tbem every cent due them. From time to time he has paid tbem all something on account, and Wednesday night he satisfied every claim in full. The occasion was enliven? ed by a banquet. Nearly one hundred guests were present, among them leading politicians of both parties and Mr. Dore mus'a creditors. At the conclusion of the feast the mayor of tho city arose with a bunch of checks signed by Mr. Doremus in his hand, and in an appropriate speech he passed over to each creditor a cbeck for the full amount of his claim.
