END OF A LONG BLUFF. Newark Better Goes to Law to Recover His Lost Wager. Offering te two hard upon stomach has been a favorite pastime of | Michael Meyer, a Newark horse deal er.

Wraage | held the $20 and there was another | witness, Meyer arrived at the i pointed time, felt of the eggs, squeoned one of them amd sald that it was not hard. Oury slipped both eggs Into his month at once, munched them and swallowed them. Meyer left in dis gust, protesting that the terms of the bet had pot been fulfilled. Wraage paid the bet to Oury and Meyer brought suit for $50 in the Second Dis trict Court. The came up be fore Judge Frederick Guild The Emanuel Lowen stein was counsel for Meyer and upon Wraage's side were ex-County Prose cutor Elvin WW, Crane, the unsuceess. ful candidate for Governor of the State. Commissioner Charles Herr of the Board of Works, and Willlam ©. Nicoll Commissioner Herr endeavored to eliminate the gambling law feature by saying that this case did not come un- der the act because eating eggs was not a game of chance, but a trial of skill: an act of showing skill, or pro ficiency and capacity. Edward Stern and Mr. Wraage testified that Oury ate the eggs fairly, and the latter said that he had taken the bet because it became monotonous after twenty years of con- stant repetition. He said that he ate two eggs at once, not one before the other, and that he had not eaten any- thing since dinner on the previous eve. ning. The jury announced a verdict of £10 for Meyer. That was all he want. ed, but it does not convince any of the people on the other side that Oury did not eat the eggs.

Forty people can afford to buy pearls to-day where one was able to do so twenty years ago. A fine pearl commands any price the owner may ask for it, although pearls are not considered a safe, per manent investment like diamonds, be. cause they are perishable and decay with time. Few of the celebrated pearls of today are old, and heirlooms that have been kept for several genera. tions gradually lose their lustre and their value, Pearls that have been kept for but a few generations gradually lose thelr luster and their value, Pearls that have been buried in the darkness, either In the earth or in safes and caskets, suffer in thelr brilliancy. Archaeologists frequently find pearls in excavating prehistoric mounds and ruins which would have been of Immerse value If they were enduring like diamonds, but their lus. ter Is permanently destroyed. : INDIANS AS WITNESSES, Hold Closer to Truth Than White Men. “Indians make good witnesses and they stick closer to facts than white people.” This statement was made the other evening by Judge O.

One day, just after leav- ing the White House, this friend fell in with a fellow Westerner in the White House grounds, amd a heated encounter took place, which suddenly terminated by the General's friend knocking the other man down and out. The matter was bushed up, but the General, naturally indignant, called his friend to account, saying, ‘John, you've treated me and the office 1 hold with much discourtesy. Why did you do such a thing? ‘Well, it was this way, General,’ replied the now thor. oughly penitent one, ‘you know there was bad blood between us, and be had set all sorts of stories going about me, Just after leaving you 1 ran into him, and he at once accused me of doing a certain thing.
