Hot SrniKGS, April 8. One of the shab
biest backs in Hot Springs bumped and
rattled along the road in front of the Park
Hotel this afternoon jest as the small band
of baseball cranks were retnrninj with
hoarse voices and perspiring hands from the
field where the St Paul team had snatched
victory lrom the Cincinnatis (Association).
The hack was open and on the back scat sat
a little man nitti a great many wrinkles in
lis face and cr.iy hairs in his dark
"beard. Beside him sat a Tery pretty girl
-with a sailor hat and a jaunty air to match.
Then vis-a-vis was a. younsr man, of very
6niall importance if appearance were to be
trusted. The dust raised by the shuffling
horses and the rickety ritr had not subsided
before a 2Jrw Yorker anions the baseball
cranks said irreverently: "Tuere goes old
Jay!"
Everybody Iti-ned at once, and as if to
jrratity the curiosity of some of his subjects
Sir. Gould hooked his umbrella into the
hackman's neck and signalled him to wheel
'about. Then as they passed we all had a
pood look .it tne "Little "Wizard, " aud the
Kew Yorker further identified the pretty
Kirl and the commonplace youn; man as
Gourde Gould and his young wife, about
vhom thousands of younc men raved when
che adorned the stage as Edith Kingdon.
Cot Patting ou Much Style.
Another hack of equally plebeian aspect
tne climate will be colder here when the
supply of moth-eaten chariots and spavined
steeds run out lollowed in the wake of Jay
Gould's, containing JIi Helen Gould and
Dr. John P. Munn, of 2"ew York, the phy
sician vi ho accompanies tne railroad mag
nate on all his journeys. The Gould
party arrived to-day on their special car
and they cot into the hacknien's hands of
course. Even the wonderful strategic skill
of Mr. Gould could not save him from the
common fate of all who get out at the Hot
Springs termiuus. It is my belief that Mr.
Gould visits Hot Springs iiom time to time
to study the hackmen, the druggists, the
liotelkeepcrs and the rest of the financiers
here. Anjhow, he drove all over town to
day, and looked at the new hotels, the
building boom, of which many new stores
&rc the results, and paid the hackmen with
out a protest which astonished them no
doubt.
Ot course Jay Gould's visit to Hot Springs
ct this time is only an incident of his usual
tour over tne great system of railroads
which he dominates in the Southwest, but
some people see significance of another sort
in it A man who has had some dealings
with Mr. Gould in the past said to me just
now: "I have noticed that whenever a man
of any influence in a financial way in this
countrv dies Jay Gould very often comes
upJn tne scene of the deceased's late activity
before the estate is settled up. Observe the
coinc.dpuce now that 'Diamond' Joe
Eeynolds is hardly cold in his grave
before Mr. Gould happens to
appear in Arkansaw. Diamond Joe, you re
member, practically owned the Hot Springs

"Sew York. "
Gould ns a Botanist.
"That is the secret of Jay Gould's won
derful success in finance, or ior the matter
o. that in everything he has turned his
hand to," reruaricei a 2sew York banker
who had listened to the above description of
5Ir. Gould's methods. "He knows his own
busiuees thoroughly and doesn't trust any
body to look after it for him, unless it be
that his ill health has forced him to aban
don some of the supervision ot his enormous
interest to his son George. Thoroughness
is Gould's creed and standard. I guess if
it is true that he peddled rat traps once, no
body ever peddled them with such assiduity
and cnterpr.se as he did. I was astonished
a year or two ago at an exhibition of
Gould's versatility, which was also a tribute
to his thoroughness A party of us, bankers
and Wall street men, went out to Gould's
country seat at Irvington-on-the-Hudson.
"It is a beautiful place, as most people
know, and Mr. Gould took us about before
dinner to see the lions. Among other
things he showed us the botanical collection
which he had made. It contains, I believe,
the principal plants ot almost every coun
try in the world some growing out of
doers, others in the hot houses. But that
was not all. Mr. Gould himself as we
wandered amoi.g the flowers and leaves
told the two gentlemen who were lucky
enough to be beside him most of the time
the name, character aud life history of every
Dlant they chanced to notice, cr he stopped
to Boint out. His acquaintance with botany
went tar beyond the text books; it spoke of
personal observation and painstaking
analysis. It opened my eyes more than
anything Wall street had shown me to the
positive genius ol the man."
ltsrseball In Arkansaw.
Everybody knows that Hot Springs is the
purgatory ot baseball plavers. In this re
gard no doubt the natives are correct in
thinking that they ate as near Paradise as
they can get. Sot so many baseball players
as usual have come doun here to boil out
this season; at le.ist I think this is true. St.
Augustine has taken your brave boys and a
good many others, and the boodle of not a
few dazzle! s ot tne diamond has diminished
to such .in extent that the Hot Springs visit
has hud t !e put off till another year shall
have replenished their pockets. Two teams
of more or less professional eminence have
been playing exhibition games here
for a week or two. The Cincin
nati Association club has been
battling daily with the sturdy St. Paul
team of the Northwestern Xeagne. The
Cincinnati!, include some faces familiar
enough to Pittsburg admirers of the game.
The great aud only Arlie Latham is cap
taining the Cincinnati team, in which are
to be lound also SlcPhee, Tony Mullane,
Harrington, lieilly and Holliday. The St.
Pauls aie a very heavy crowd ot giants, and
they have had the very best of the contest
witn C.ucinunti so !ar.
The snorts here talk very enthusiastically
about the batting abilities nf St, Pauls'
left fielder, Hamburg. He is a terrific
Elugger with tne stick, and no doubt is des
tined to achieve a national reputation. Of
the Cincinnatis the veteran Mullane and
little Hoiliday, who reminds me of "Fog
horn" Miller in his sharp, snirited fielding
and base running, are the only stars. Hol
liday would be immensely popular with
P'ttsburg crowds.
I'fcflcrl Training Hard.
Pfefler, the great second baseman of the
Chicago's Brotherhood team list year,
wflose services are still retained by the
League club in the Windy City, spent three
or lour weeks here nil he was summoned by
Anson to report in Chicago last week. He
is a geutlemaiiy fellow with nothing of the
uoisy pluj:-ugly style about him, and he
made a grt many friends at the Park,
Where he stopped. Among those who were
sttracted bv I'feffer's modet ways and his
athletic habits vas a mild middle-aged man
from Clucag.i, vim was taking a course of
baths with a view : huildurg up a coustitu
ion en ctbicii bt' overwork. This invalid
ook great interest in Pleficr' mode of li:e,
ad the strict regimen under which it was
conducted. Pfeffer trained pretty thoroughly
wbile he was here; bathing regularly after a
long tramp over the hills, or a sharp spin
around the hotel grounds.
His Chicago admirer observed that
Pfeffer'i health improved wonderfully
under this treatment and be
asked him If he conld share in
its benefits, and accompany him in his
exercise. Pieffer assented and the, next
morning they started out after breakfast for
Sulphur Springs, a resort about seven miles
from here among the mountains. They started
at a dog trot Pieffer's favorite pace. The
road between this place and Sulphur
Springs is rough and its course is moun
tainous. Pfeffer made the return journey
alone. His companion owe back by train,
and abouftwo doien baths taken since then
have not removed all his aches and pains.
John L. Sullivan Takes Nothing.
How the nnregenerate howled the other
day when John h. Sullivan descended upon
the town with several other actors and a
fearful melodrama. To the bnlk of the
population, native and imported here, John
L. stands for all that is best and moat beau
tiful in this world, and they made the great
actor-pugilist ieel his importance to the
full. Seats in the parquet at the Opera
House went up to 5, and the theater was
packed with an audience including all the
sports in town and a considerable sprinkling
of respectable invalids, who were there, of
course, for their health. All day, long be
fore the performance took place, there were
rumors that John L. had filled up on Ar
kansaw tangle-foot and might he expected
to take the city by storm. He didn't take
anything as it turned out not even a bath.
The police force was under arms all dayfor
nothing, and Mr. Sullivan appeared with
out even a jag on in "Honest Hearts and
Willing Hands." They say he played
poker at the Arkansaw Club and won quite
a sum. He always had the biggest hand,
you know. .
A Tardy Winter Everywhere.
While the weather at Hot Springs during
March was near genial and even balmy
as compared with the awful article dealt
out to you in Pittsburg aud to the North
generally, not forgetting Chicago, which
seems to have gotten even a double dose, ex
perienced persons tell me that the season
here is at least two weeks late. Southerners
from other States report the same tardiness
of winter in his retreat before the vanguard
of spring. Last year peaches were ripe in
the orchards hereabout on the 1st of May,
but that will not happen this year for the
blossoms have not fallen yet and the land
scape is still prettily splashed with pink.
Better than by figures from the thermome
ter you can judge of the weather we have
been enjoying here for some time when I
tell you that the grand stand it is a sort of
a baby grand at the ball game on Saturday
last and again to-day was filled with inva
lids and convalescents out to enjoy the sun
shine more than the science and slugging of
the St Paul and Cincinnati nines. On
Sunday, when ne went to church, the Easter
bonnets called upon the parasols lor protec
tion from the sun, and under some blooming
peach trees by the roadside brown pickanin
nies, with very little more covering than
their playmates, the black pigs, were dis
porting in the dust.
The natives flatter themselves that they
are not out of the fashion, that they have
had la grippe among them, but the doctors
and my own senses tell me that they err.
They have mistaken the simple but suffi
ciently disagreeable cold for the horrible
plague with the Franco-Russian name.
A Celestial Mixture of Medicine.
Talking of laymen's mistakes in the
diagnosis of disease, a fair invalid's exper
ience with a quack is worth telling here. I
had it from the woman herself a South
erner, who is fond of experimenting upon
herself, it may be inferred. She said: "Last
winter when I stopped at a hotel in Den
ver I suffered a great deal iroai asthma, and
somebody or other suggested that I should
call in a Chinese physician who was mak
ing some stir in the city. 1 did so, and a
little ash-colored heathen calling himself
Gun Wall came up to the parlor to see me.
He asked me some questions the stereo
typed ones Caucasian doctors put
and left me a box of pills which
he said would soon loosen the trouble
in my lungs and give me relief. The pills
did not have the beneficial effect; indeed,
they made me terribly sick that night I was
coughing as much as ever when he called
the next day, in a great state of perturba
tion. It was not easy to maki out what
ailed the Chinaman; he talked very fast and
in broken pigeon-English, but at last I made
out that he had given me by mistake the
medicine intended for a Mr. Crow "Clo' he
calldd him another patient of his at the
hotel. By that time I was pretty well tired
of the Chinese doctor and Celestial medi
cine, and I paid him off without further ex
periment. Later I made the acquaintance
of Mr. Crow who got the medicine meant
for my asthma. We compared notes. What
do vou suppose he was being treated for?

Zach's Ready Wit.
The chief doctors here employ several col
ored mn to wait upon their patients, to
usher them into the waiting room and to sec
that they reach the inner shrine in the order
nf their arrival. Dr. Dake, the leading
homeopathlst, has a very bright colored
man, whose name is, I think, Zach. The
other day, during his office hours. Dr.
Dake received a summons from one of his
patients, who, although not seriously ill, is
always afraid he is going to die. Dr. Dake
had heard the cry of "wolf" so often from
this quarier that he paid small heed to it,
and told Zach to go to the nervous invalid
and tell him to apply certain simple reme
dies until he, the doctor, could leave his
office. .
"All right, suh," said Zach, starting
away, and then as he reached the door he
added: "If I'ae not back in an houah, suh,
you may kuow I'segone fer der undertakah,

CAKiDIAKS SMUGGLING.
How They Take Advantage of the Fall In
Sngar.
Montreal, April 13. The dwellers
along the borders of the United States and
the eastern townships are bound to have
freer trade relations in one way if not in
another. There is now a difference between
the price of refiued sugars in the United
States and Cauada of 2 cents per pound, or
about $6 a barrel, so that. the inducements
to smuggling are enormous.
Advices from that locality affirm that re
tailers are offering granulated sugar at 5
5Jc per pound, and even here in Mon
treal granulated and yellow refined sugar
are selling under prices obtainable at the
refineries. Their prices are 6c, and there
is only one way in which the commodity can
be sold SO per cent under cost, and that is
by smuggling it into the heart of the
Dominion. Another suggestion is that the
refiners have betrayed the grocers.' combine
and are themselves cntting prices. The Mon
treal market for refined sugar is in a very
unsettled condition, and no improvement is
looked lor till the Government indicates
which course it is to pursue.

WHERE LUXURIOUS LIYING IS CHEAP
Pretty nearly every American who goes
to Japan lands at Yokohama, the seaport of
Japan, chiefly, perhaps, from its vicinity to
Tokyo, the Capital of the country, writes
Douglas Sladen. It is a very goQd place to
land, for it is the principal foreign colony,
and one can get excellent accommodation to
recruit after the voyage, and a good many
wrinkles about traveling in the interior.
How novel aud strange it was to sit down to
a regular French lunch of many courses,
served by a crowd of spindle-legged
Japanese, in their picturesque dark blue
tunics and hose, who (most of theni), could
not speak a word of English, and took
their orders by the numbers on the menu:
"Boy, bring me some No. 6." How funny
we thought the shu filing noise they made as
they ran about the floor, dragging their
straw sandals by the big toes.
Lauding in Japan 'is most entertaining.
The moment a ship drops anchor she is sur
rounded by a flotilla of sampans queer
little native boats, propelled with one oar
by half-naked "Japs," who swarm up on the
ship's deck, sucking in their breath and
bowing to the ground as soon as they are on
board. Nobody patronizes them but the
Asiatic passengers. Saloon passengers go
ofi'in the hotel launches, and in a few min
utes, threading their way through the
swarmiug native craft, land yon close by
the Custom House. Your luggage is car
ried up by a swarm of coolies. How funny
these coolies looked the first time one saw
thcml Just like the servants in Perugino's
pictures, or the varlets of the Shakespearian
stage, in their tight hose and tunics, which
were made of dark blue cotton, ornamented
in the back with some brilliant device in
white or red.
Odd Tilings In the Shop Quarter.
Close to the Hatoba is the division be
tween the native and European cities. We
made our escape from the "lie European
town,' as the Chinamen would call it, and
struck the genuine Japanese town in the
Ben-ten dori (Venus street). The houses
there Were thoroughly Japanese little one
story affairs, built of wood, with their fronts
removed all day, replaced, unless it was
sunny enough, with dark blue or chocolate
colored curtains, like the door of a tent
ornamented with the owner's name or de
vice in huge white Chinese characters. Most
of them in the street were shops for the
benefit of foreigners photograph shops,
porcelain shops, casket shops, silk mer
chants, haberdashers, or curio shops of the
third order. The second order are in
the Honcho dori the next street which
emblematizes its superiority by having
the shop fronts glazed instead of open. The
first order are in shape like Dcakins or the
hue art gallery in the lorcign settlement.
Even some of the Ben-ten dori shops were
un-Japanese enough to have counters.- The
true Japanese store has a floor, raised about
a foot above the street, covered with fine
white straw mats nn inch thick. On this
the proprietor squats, the customer never
stepping upon it without removing his
boots. The stock is partly spread out on the
floor, partly on shelves ami partly hung
from the ceiling. At the rear is a wooden
ladder, like a ship's cotufianion, leading to
the attic, if there is one, and there is gener
ally a passage on one side. '
In the first shop a little boy was finishing
off, with a hammer and agate burnisher, the
gilt on one of the sreat "Satsuma jars,"
which they make in Yokohama.
Tbe Theater Street.
In about the third shop we bought some
note paper, ornamented with storks, temples,
torii and Fujiyama, which we loudly be
lieved to be what the Japanese used, until a
little lower down we came to a genuine Jap
anese stationer's, Toinoya's, where we saw
the 100-fect rolls of porous wrapping paper,
upon which the natives of "Nippon" indite
their "billets-doux," and saw them making
the great white-covered account books with
knotted rope backs, so familiar to us after
ward. But even the Ben-ten dori was not
quite Japanesy enough, though we did see a
human water cart, carrying two great
buckets of unpainted wood, which he set
"a-showering" bv pulling up a spigot tied
to a cord, held "against a linchet handle.
The Japanese are wonderfully dexterous
with their i fingers; they can do a different
thing with every finger on their band at the
same tim. A little lower down we found
ourselves in the "theater street," a genuine
bit of Japan.
At the very entrance was a theater, where
you could sit all day for ten cents, and
smoke your pipe and eat ynur dinner; orna
mented outside with huge sign-boards, cov
ered with the most blood-curdling pictures
of dragons as big as ships, breathing the
traditional fire, of women being cut up, like
beefsteaks, of blood-splashing murders, and
splithair's-breadth escapes, painted in all the
colors of the rainbow, the line of blood show
ing up nobly. Most Japauese plays are
very much in Ercles' vein; they are really
exceedingly clever in simulating wounds;
the murderer makes a savage cut and.blood
spurts from his victim. A "turn turuming"
noise is kept up all the time the perform
ance goes on, possibly to draw the attention
ol folks outside to the fait that the perform
ance is going on. And a hoarse-voiced man
invites you to enter, like 'the keeper of the
";at woman" and the "dog-faced man" at
an English fair.
Mntron-LIke Little Children.
Outside the theater were a row of little
girls, seemingly about 4 years old, carrying
the next baby but one in the haon, on their
backs, and discussing affairs with the grav
ity of matrons, or skipping about to get out
ot the way of the kodak. Whether they
were standing still, or he was having his
head shaken off, seemed a matter of pure
indifference to the baby. Close by stood the
pipe mender, with a rack full of second
hand pipes, ranging down to a cent in price;
bnt most of the customers wished to econo
mize, and have their own dilapidated pipes
mended. Then we. drove on, and passed a
peripatetic kevsmith, carrying on his
shoulder a box like a bootblack's, but hand
somely bouud ivith brass, and hung with
festoons of keys, aud close by blm an
"araeya," or maker of dough toys, with one
of the little street stoves, where, by paying a
fraction of a cent children can have a little
dough and sauce, and spend the whole
afternoon in cooking.
It Is a wonderful street,this Theater street,
with its theaters and bath houses, anil ba
zaars, where they sell semi-European trash,
aud the inevitable pipe cases and hairpins.
It has one most fascinating by-street lead
ing off it, where the cabinet makers and
lourth-closs curio sellers congregate. I
have spent days and days in this street,
picking up queer little articles of daily
domestic use among the humbler Japanese
as artistic as a Greek temple in their ob
servance of the science of shape and orna
ment, and each with its little bit of allegory
or famous legend hinted at Brass bowls
and placques, pipe case clasps, wooden and
bone net sukes, metal ink pots for the belt,
hardly differing from tbe Turkish; bronze
mirrors and miniature temple ornaments;
inros of rare lacquer chipped oat of all
value, but interesting as specimens; the
comb and mirror pouches used by Geish
girls, and what not
Foreigners Rather Well Fixed.
When we had got to tbe end ot Theater
street the rikisha .boys, who being paid by
the hour (a whole 15 cents), naturally want
ed to spin things out as much as possible,
suggested that we should return by way of
the'bluff. "Yon, see where English gentle
man lives; very rich."

topped hill of tbe orthodox Japanese pat,
tern at the entrance of.the harbor is called.
Their places of business and the hotels are
in the settlement, separated from the Bluff
by a creek, and mostly near the sea front or
Bunch. At the back ot 'this is "China
town." Yokohama has a population of
2,000 or 3,000 Chinese, and, separated from
the settlement and Chinatown, by the road
from the Hatoba to tbe cricket ground, is
the native town, faced in the front mostly
by buildings in the" European, style. Be
yond this, again, is the Kanagawa Bluff,
where the wealthy Japanese live, almost
Overhanging the'railway station.
Tho houses of the wealthy foreigners on
the Bluff are some of them delightful. The
-unevenness ot the ground gives a wonderful
opportunity ior landscape gardening, and
with a bamboo brake, a few palms, a lotus
pond and one or two of the great stone vo
tive lanterns tbey call ishi doro, one can be
as Oriental as Aladdin. The houses them
selves are great, roomy bungalows, full of
the artistic things which can be picked up
so easily in this land of recently decayed
feudalism, and which will make the owner's
fortune, or remind him forever of the quaint
Eastern land in which he was a pilgrim a'nXl
a sojourner, alter he Jias returned home, as
the Englishman in the East always mean to
do. The houses are full of picturesque,
smiling, obliging servants, and really their
owners have as much quiet lnxury as any
reasonable man could desire.
The Street Conjurers.
Tiffin, as they call lunch in the East, is at
12, aud so we had been able to drive all
around the native town; "the Bluff" and
"the Settlement" and back in time X see
some performances by daylight of the street
tumblers and acrobats and monkey trainers,
who hadollected around the Club Hotel ou
observing that a new ship had come in. The
conjurer's principal tricks consist in living
on his back with his feet in the air, support
ing tiers of human beings or spinning' an
impossible number of large wooden tubs at
the same time, or eating flaming charcoal.
His sleight-of-hand is not, as a rule, remark
able in Japan. I soon got tired of the con
jurer, and persuaded tbe monkey trainer to
begin. Their "monkey business" .is very
funny in this particular troupe.jJThs're were
two men and a very pretty and picturesque
young womau a regular gypsy, as black as
a Malay, who did everything with an up
tossed head and haughty look in her eyes, as
if she "couldn't be bothered."
Her duties were multifarious. She had
to twang tbe samisen, beat the drum, and
keep the monkeys' wardrobes sorted, so
that the performers could dress up the ani
mals without delay.
If the Japauese only knew how exactly
the monkeys counterfeit them in the eyes of
strangers, they would execute every nioukey
in Dai Nippon. Now it would be an imita
tion of a swaggering, two-sworded Samura;
now an old hunchbacked mendicant woman
hobbling along' with a stick; now the
haughty master scolding a servant kowtow
ing and groveling his forehead in the dust
alwaps too life-like.
Luxuriant, bat Cheap Living.
We lived luxuriously at the Club Hotel.
We had a fine sitting roam with five win
dows, less than a stone's throw from the sea,
with a private entrance to the street, and
bedrooms, en suite, for almost half what it
would cost us to live in the same style at
quite a second-class New York hotel, and
our first dinner will give an idea of how we
were led.
Our bill of fare that night moluded oys
ters and turtle soup aud fish better cooked
than one ever gets in an American hotel,
and various kinds of meat and poultry and
game and entries, and three or four kinds of
pudding, with truit and nuts to wind up
with.
This was the roughing it in Japan that we
had pictured to ourselves, and after dessert
I spent a delightful hour in the snug library
of the Yokohama United Club, one of the
coziest clubs I know, aud then came back to
our sitting-room to join the others.ensconced
in easy chairs, with the feeling of content
one has when one has bad a thoroughly
good dinner as a climax to a tiring day on
shore and a tiring fortnight on a stormy sea.

AN IHTEEESTIHG DISPLAY PLAHNED FOR
THE WOELD'S FADZ
Application of Electricity to Various Eco-
nomio Uses It Will Be Hade to Do
Many Wonderful Things A Great
Exhibit nf This Powerful Agent.
Chicago, April 13. Electricity and its
application to various economic uses prom
ises to be one of the "wonders of the fair.
Prof. John Barrett, Chief of the Depart
ment of Electricity, is working hard for a
great exhibit. An illustration of the many
uses of electricity will be furnished in a
miniature "electric" house. Electricity
will be made to do many unusual things.
The door-bell will be rung from a push but
ton, the lights in the halls and all the rooms
will be controlled from a given point, as
well. as from the door of each room. An
electric burglar-alarm will be there to pro
tect the sleeping family, with a contrivance
lor lighting the incandescent lamps afthe
point of entrance of the intruder.

WEST VIRGINIA OIL
Wildcatting With Less Kesnlts Than
in' Any dlher Section.
MTTLE F1I0H THE EXPERIMENTS.
Kothlng New of Importance Reported From
the Nearby Bields.
WILDWOOD KBEM UP-THE OLD PACE
The amount of "wildcatting" in West
Virginia is simply surprising, and that
there is in contemplation, as soon as better
roads and weather prevail, more of it is
more astounding. Just why capital will
take its chances in West Virginia, with a
knowledge and history of the conntry, and
tbe slim prospects of higher-priced oil, is
beyond conception. At no period of the
industry has the experimental drill been so
active and the results so little as at present
The Eureka, Belmont and St Mary's pools
have passedthe meridian of lite, and there
is nothing in these places to indicate
a revival'of their past history. We are
glad to note, however, that "Billy" Boyle,
"Billy" Johnson and good-natured Theo
dore Barnsdall have met with success in
this county, and if the tempter is not too
strong will come out ahead. Jim Tennart,
too, is iu a fair way ot making a raise,
which will leive him right for the hardships
he encountered in scouting at Cherry Grove.
Jim, with a partner, is now drilling a
"wildcat" well on Bull creek, and thinks
tbey have got the well located on the spot
Hannah & Co. recently completed a dry
hole 350 feet northwest of Boyle's well on
the Sheats farm. Boyle's well is doing
about 40 barrels a. day. On the Ohio side of
the river the Emery Oil Company have a
well near the sand. The Johnston well, on
Friendly Island, is drilling at about 2,000
feet It will be remembered this well was
shut down in an unknown sand with some
show of oil, but has since been
drilled through, with no improve
ment. They ''are now drilling
for the Gordon sand. Unknown parties are
drilling a well on tbe Ohio side at the head
of Middle Island. The Duncan Oil'Com
pany are also drilling a well back ot St.
Mary's. Ackerley & Samuel continue to
get good paying 'wells just north of New
port The Ward well, about six miles
north and 10 east from Newport, and 600
feet east of the Mandcville well at Archer's
Forks, is still shut down on top of the sand.
It is the intention of this company to drill
this well in next week. This is considered a
very important venture, as it will show to
some extent the direction of tbe Archer
Forks pool.
The Monroe County Well.
The Vandergritt & Co. well in Monroe
county, 17 miles northeast of Archer Forks,
will be drilled through the sand next week
and tubed.
Nothing In Wlldwood. ,
Wildwood presents .nothing new to-day,
nothing being booked to come in but
Griffith & Forest Oil Company's Whuesell
well No. 12 which was drilled to-daj is still
holding up from tbe first pay. Bowman &
Co. struck gas in the 100-loot sand to-day,
which is very unusual in this field. The re
sult was the burning down of tbe rig. Iioth
Oil Company's No. 2. Peeples well will be
in on Wednesday with no bad
luck. Johu M. Patterson's Espey
well, on the Perrysville plank road west of
Wildwood field, is on top the 30-Toot sand
this evening. Griffith & Co. in Cole well are
putting in the first casing. Greenlee &
Forst.s Alston well No. 1 is doing three
inches per hour. J. McGuffiv & Queen's
No. 1 Kolber well is doing Z inches per
hour.
A New "Well at Glenshaw.
The Hassinger well, located two miles
northeast of Glenshaw, and which was be
ing drilled by1 Wittmer Bros. & Co., late
Saturday evening, at a depth of 35 -feet in
the sand, found oil. It made several small
spurts and they shut down to await the
building of tankage, which will be this
evening, and they expeot to drill the well in
to-morrow, when her capacity as a producer
'will be known, although from the apparent
ansence ot gas tbe well may have to be
tubed to ascertain what it rill actually do.
The com pa av are trying to mystify tne ven
ture as much as possible, but old bands put
her in her present status among the small
producers, although deeper drilling may in
crease her materially.
Very Quiet In Butler.
The field situation in Butler is distress
ingly quiet. Harmony is stuggling along
with about 200 barrels production per dav.
Zelienople with about the same. Sutton &
Co. No. 4, on M. Ziegler farm, is completed
and dry. Gallery field is also quiet Hays
& Co, No. 2, Bichardson farm, is tubed and
pumping 30 barrels per day, makes
frequent small flows, and makes its
production without affecting wells near it
Innis &"Co", on tbe Double farm, Muddy
creek, is a duster. Location, about 100 rods
north of tfieir No. 1 on Hockenbury farm.
Snyder No. 2 well is in sand and reported
to have a -fair showing. It is within 100
feet of their No. 1 Jefferson Center offers
nothing. New producers are awaiting bet
ter weather before making any effort to do
anything.
A Well Hint May Tell.
A dispatch from Bulger says: A short
tinie ago Carr Bros., of Zanesville,
O., secured a lease of the Neal farm, con
taining 100 acres, situated one-half mile
northeast from Bulger station. They have
built a rig and are drilling. The well is
located between the Royal Gas Company's..
,oil wells on tne AlclJnnald J arm on the
,e:ist and the Lawrence Gas Company's gas
well on tbe Work farm on the west. The
Lawrence Gas Company rnnnlineof levels
on the Pittsbnrg coal in this section and
located an "anticlinal" near .Bulger. Carr
Bros, made a like examination and formed
the same rock position, and located upon an
"anticlinal" with a gas well in close prox
imity on the west and the Royal Company's
oil wells on the feast. It might be well for
the trade to keep au eye ou this well.
Little. Progress at Bridgevllle.
This embryonic pool does not seem to
make much progress'inthe way'otiig wells
and new production. 'Graham & Co., on
the J. Gilbert farm, are through the 50-foot,
and the hole is filled up from 1,000 to 1,200
feet with oil; that is, when the tools are run
ning. They are still drilling, and will
penetrate the Gordon horizon before
calling a halt Robinson & Co., on
the Hugh Morgan farm, are drilling at 1,200.
feet. Graham & Co., on the Jwmei Alexander-farm,
are looking for the 50-foot some
time to-morrow. The same company's No. 1
Hopper,' which burned down about three
weeks ago, has got started up again, and will
soon reach tbe Gordon. Alexander No. 1 is
making 10 barrels n day and No. 2 32 bary

KENO AT THE CAPITAL.
A MOHTE CARLO IN THE SHADOW 07
WASHIHOION MOHOTtEHT.
The Notorious Gambling Places of the Olden
Days Banlkhed Across the Potomac
How the 'Garni la Conducted In These
Latter Times.
Washington, April 13. This city,
which was in tbe old ante-bellum days and
for some years after tbe war one of tbe
greatest gambling centers in America, is to
day without a single gambling hell. That
is to say, there are no longer public places
where men can go to buck the tiger, pay
stnd horse poker, keno, rouge et noir and
other games ot chance. Of course, a good
deal of draw poker is played by the poli
ticiads,but it is conducted quietly in private
houses or social clubs. There is nothing
lilTe the old luxurious gambling establish
ment which was run by Pendleton, who, I
believe, was a distant relative of tbe late
Senator lrom Ohio. At Pendleton's place on
tbe ayenue, which is always pointed out to
strangers, high stakes were tbe rule and
many of the most conspicuous men of that
day were regular worshiperst the shrine of
fortune. Thad Stevens, Henry Clay, Bob
Toombs and others were there almost
nightly. Stories of the high ,play that was
indulged in are retailed by the score by the
old-timers. They tell of a famous game
once between Thad Stevens and George D.
Prentice, the predecessor of the star-eyed
Wattcrson. It was poker, and backward
and forward the "raises" had been going
on until finally Prentice, whose cash was
exhausted, negotiated the sale of several'
negroes whom be owned to continue.
Finally Stevens, who held fonr kings, told
Prentice that be bad been beaten, .and re
quested him to allow the hands to be shown,
or as the gamblers put it, to "call" him.
To that Prentice, who had four aces (this
was before the day of the sequence flush),
responded: "I never call yon. If I Iras
Jupiter, and stars were chips, I would
darken the heavens with this hand."
The only vestige of public gaming re
maining has been banished'to the soil of the
Old Dominion across the Potomac river and
out ot reach of the laws of the District of
Columbia. Think of ft The mother of
Presidents nursing in her bosom the vice of
gambling alter it had been scourged out of
WasbingtonI And it is keno, the lowest
kind of gaming, that which appeals to the
poorer class of the population who have only
a few dimes to risk. They call the place
where these keno games are conducted Monte
Carlo. It consists of two large frame houses
on the opposite side of tbe 'river from Wash
ington where every afternoon and evening
from 200 to 400 people are crowded about
long tables "pegging" away at their cards
as the manipulator of tbe wheel calls out the
number. Only 10 cents can be risked on a
card with the chance of winning from $10
to $15 according to the number who are in
tbe game. It is in reality a aool, to which
each player contributes 10 cents and which
the sucresslul person wins, less the percent
age of 10 per cent extracted by tbe dealer
or whatever the person who manipulates the
game is called. In these hot rooms, choked
with tobacco smoke and alcoholic fumes,
the young- Virginia farmers, some of them,
perhaps, the descendants of Washington,
Jefferson, Madison aud Monroe, squander
their small earnings under the shadow ol
the Washington Monument Little steam
ferry boats ply between Georgetown and
Monte Carlo every 15 minutes to .accommo
date tbe Washington and Georgetown cus
tomers. The-games are seldom disturbed.
Occasionally a posse of Virginia constables
come down out of the hills, confiscate tbe
paraphernalia and fine the proprietors.
Bnt not often. Tbe proprietors are willing
to pay liberally to avoid being disturbed.

Body of the Slayer of Stephen X, Fettus
Qaletly Taken to Kentucky.
Louisville, April 13. There was no
announcement of the burial of tbejbodyof
Mrs. Hannah B. Sonthworth at "Cave Hill
ou Friday afternoon. There were no
mourners, no prayers, no one bnt tbe sexton
and his assistant'to put away tbe remains
nf the beautiful woman who startled all
New York and Kentucky when she shot
to death Broker Stepheu I Pettus, on' the
morning of November 22, 1839, in' front of a
tea store on" Fulton street, New York. But
lor tbe laws of the city of Louisville no one
but the family would have been aware of
the fact" that Sirs. Southworth's remains
rest in peace at tbe head of the street on
which she was born. "tBefore the body oould
be buried a burialpermit had to be ob
tained, and this formality cansed the burial
to leak oat
Friday morning L. D. Pearson & Son,
funeral directors, received a telegram from
the dead woman's mother, Mrs. E. J. Mar
tin, at Brooklyn, to meet the remains at
noon at the Short Line depot, and bury
them in the beautiful Martin plot in Cave
Hill. When the train pulled in a big piftn
box, lined with tin and containing a metal
lic coffin, was lifted from the express car,
placed in a covered undertaker's wagon,
and taken to Cave Hill. A grave had been
prepared, and ink lew minulea Mrs. South
worth's remains 'twere at rest in her native
city. The grave nvas neatly filled, and soon
a marble shaft ,will mark tbe spot where
Hannah Sonthworth lies.
Mrs. Southworth died in the Tombs, New
York's famous prison, Tuesday morning,
January 7, 1890,) where she was confined
under indictment for the murder of Pettus,
the man at whose hands she claimed she
had been greatly wronged. She passed away
in her mother's irms, with a prayer on her
lip. Soon after life was extinct the body
was taken to the residence of William B.
Martin, in Brooklyn, where on the follow
ing Thursday the funeral services took place,
and the body wps temporarily placed in a
vault in Grcenwjood, to be quietly removed
to Louisville after the tragedy which mined
the woman's -.life; bad passed away from the
minds of the people.

GOOD AS THE GENUINE
A Kew Issne of Counterfeits Which
Cannot Be Detected.
RESULT' OP' LATE IKYEHTIOHS.
Even the Special Paper Proves to Afford
Ko Protection.
THE WORK OP PEK-AXD-IXK AKTISTS
WAsnisGjoir. April 13. The chief
engraver of the Bnreau of Engraving and
Printing was closeted the other day fur a
long while with tbe Treasurer of tbe United
States. Spread before them were two silver
certificates one of regular Government is
sne and the other a specimen of the new $2
counterfeit which has occasioned such a sen
sation by reason of tbe perfection of its ex
ecution. After spending a fnll hour exam
ining the real and the false notes with pow
erful magnifying glasses, the famous expert
in mouey designing turned to tbe guardian
of Uncle Sam's cash box and said:
"There are no diflerencas."
To such a point, in fact, has the art of
counterfeiting been developed. The work
of the fraudulent money makers is no longer,
feebly imitative. Year after year it has
grown more difficult of detection, until at
last it may be said that the swindler can
make as good a paper dollar as the Govern
ment is able to produce. A high Treasury
official was asked yesterday what was the
chief difficulty that a counterfeiter bad to
overcome in the manufacture of a successful
bank note or certificate.
A Itecent Invention Settled It.
"He has no difficulties to encounter," was
tbe reply. "The last of them has been
swept away by a recent invention. A while
ago. although some of the most skilllnl en
gravers in the world belonged fo the crim
inal class, their work was, nevertheless,
invariably distinguishable from the
true, there being differences beyond
tbe power of hands or tools to
avoid. But the new photo-mechanical
processes have revolntionized counterfeit
ing. With no labor worth mentioning, the
camera reproduces the design of a note upon
a metal plate, which, after passing through
a simple etching process, becomes to
all intents and purposes a fac simile
ot the original steel engraving, ready
to print the money from. Thanks to
late discoveries in photochromy, the execu
tion of green backs and red seals in pre
cisely the proper shades is tbe easiest thing
in the world. Here is tbe last report of the
Chief of the Secret Service. He says: 'The
genuine Government notes nowadays, es
pecially the series of 1800, are marvels of
tbe engraver's art, aided by the wonderful
geometric lathe. One would think it im
possible to successfully counterfeit such
work, upon looking over the complex area
of lines and patterns, and yet at this mo
ment counterfeiters are reproducing it so
perfectly that the elaborate beanty of this
paper money may be said to offer no protec
tion to the public or defense against
fraud.'"
"But how aboufimitating the paper?"
The Special Paper 'o Protection.
"That is no obstacle to the counterfeiter.
The special paper used by the Treasuiy
doesn't amount to a red cent as a protec
tion. How should it? You can buy the
same stuff, according to quality, at any
stationer's. No, of course' it lacks the
threads; but of what use are they? II a
note appears satisfactory in other respects,
who ever thinks of looking for the threads?
Suppose, however, that one diJ; the
swindler has several wayoof supplying
them. With a ruler- anil a fine pen, loaded
with light blue ink, he can draw them to
perfection across the lace of the note; or he
creases the bill very hard leugthwise with
his thumb nail, so that anybody who is
looking for a thread will swear he sees one
in the fold, the illusion being caused by a
breaking of the fiber in the paper. Possibly
the suspicious person may try to lilt out the
thread at a poiut with a pin. It he does, it
is a hundred to one that the toughness of the
paper's fiber will lead him to think the
thread, is there. Oh, no; the paper is no
safeguard."
"What Is to be done, then?"
"It's hard to say. Something has cer
tainly got to be done when the Treasury
engravers cannot tell counterfeits from the
work they have themselves executed. I
woul&suggest that radical changes should
be made respecting tbe paper on which tbe
money Is printed. Our designs are repro
duced to perfection, therefore we have, noth
ing hut the paper to fall back upon. It
should be made absolutely distinctive, legal
enactment forbidding the manufacture of
any paper like the money paper of the Gov
ernment. Each denomination of note or
certificate ought to have its own special va
riety of this kind of paper, so that one could
tell a one-dollar bill from a five by the. Ieel
merely. Trne, tbe paper could be imitated,
but it is not "possible' to make finey paper
without a bulky plant, and all factories
here aud abroad would be carefully
watched."
The fllbst Bemarkable Counterfeiter.
A few days ago the Secret Service Bureau
of tbe Treasury received with renewed ex
asperation the latest production nf the pen-and-ink
counterfeiter. This extraordinary
man, who "may fairly be considered the most
remarkable maker of. false money known to
history, must devote tbe greater part of hU
time year alter year td his chosen pastime.
It can be nothing more to hi to, inasmuch as
the remuneration is necessarily small. The
wonder.ul thing about bis imitations of
United States notes is that they are executed
entirely with the pen, even to the vignettes
and most elaborate bogus lathe work. To
produce one must require a vast deal of
patience. Apparently be does about two a
year, for once in six months pretty regularly
a specimen makes its appearance, to tbe dis
gust of the Government detectives. It is
always either a fitty or a twenty, and it is a
very curious fact that no two are sent to
the department here from tbe same
city. The supposition is that the
forger, as quickly as he has passed one of
his works of art, changes his residence to
iinother city. He gets rid of the note be has
just completed, which may remain in circu
lation for some time before reaching a bank,
and departs long ere tbe police agents have
a chance to arrive upon the scene. The most
plausible theory is that he is-a monomaniac
of means, who gratifies a morbid vanity iu
this way. His work bears scrutiny with the
naked eye, though not with tbe magnifying
glass.
One of the most dangerous counterfeits at
present extant is a bogus United States
Treasury note for $1,000. Nut only are a
number of the note themselves supposed to
be in circulation five of them have been
passed on one bink but the plates are in
existence somewhere.ready to strike off mill
Ions in currency ot large denomination.
Thesa plates are known to have been execu
ted by that most expert ot living forgers,
Charles II. Smith. He was ,tlie man who,
being employed as an engraver to execute
certain 1,000 United States bonds 11 years
ago, made a duplicate plate at homo in the
evenings, primed S203.C03 worth of the
bonds, and was only caught and prevented
