Tlie late Mike Kelly rol:abl matl6 1 nd Fpmt more money ilurinp bin career as a ball plover than auylxuly else in bis profession. Kelly was ao itm-terate gambler, and, like John L. Sallivau, be had m heart which constantly led fclmtodo acta of cl arity. Kelly was in Li element when at the race track. He pot held of more "good things" that went vrroug tbun the averaf' tutor, but be vaa ulwaya cheerful whether a winner or a low r. One day Mike went over to Gnttcnbcrg, when the hilltop track was flourishing, and after two races had been rat. he had jnst $20 and enough change with which to pet back to the city. As Kel walked into the bcttiup ring preparatory to the third race he saw on Bookmaker Ike Thomp son's slate: Ptay or Pay SO to 1 M.wulows fchtitD ' Hoey oS "I've got a ystcm, tat boy," said the' "king" to a friend, "and it's a peach. I'm going to rnt a fiver on each o' them plugs, and then I can't lose, see? I got to get some dough back, no matter how they run. " "That's no system, Mike," said Kel's friend. "It's as good as the average, sport," was the quick retort, and Mike pushed bis way np to Thompson 'a book. "Say, there. lie, old bey!" yelled Mike. "Here's four green fivers. Pnt one on each of them .ponies, keep the change, and gimme the tickets quick." The bookmaker laughed as he banded Kel frur tickets, each calling for Play or Pay S0O to S, Meadows 150 to 5, Blitaen 6 to 6, lloey 4 to 5 respective ly "That's quite a chance you're taking, Mike," said Thompson, with a laugh. "It is, if one o them long guys comes walkin in with the yellow boys in bu atockin," replied the ball player. Then the bell rang telling the crowd that the horses were at the post "They're eff!" yelled Kelly, as Start er Caldwell dropped his flag. " What's that guy away out in front, running as if he saw a square meal somewhere?" "It's Play or Pay!" screamed hun dreds. And to it proved to be. The horse bad been the recipient of one of those celebrated Guttenberg injections, and he won in a romp. Kelly never ran bases faster than he ran up to Ik9 Thompson's bock, brand ishing his ticket calling for $305. "Give us the green goods, Ike!" he roared, while the crowd gathered around breathlessly. "There's your nionty," said Thomp son pleasantly, as he took a big roll of bills from the cashier. Kelly didn't stop to count it, but made a rush for the bar room, crying cut: "If tLtre's dust in any gny's threat around here, let him come in with me and wash it out Everybody have a drink!" The bar looked like a barpain counter as the sports lined up. They called for everything from wine to cigarettes, and when all had had enough Kel said to the drink mixer: "How much, sport?" "Fifteen dollars, Kel!" "There'a twenty. Have a bot your self!" "Say, Mr. Kelly," whispered a tout, "could you stake me to few bucks? I've got a cinch." "There'a ten of them, me boy. Go and break up the betting ring," was Kelly's response as he forked out a $10 bill. Other impecunious persons suc cessfully "touched" him for various amounts until Mike decided to plunge apain. Going up to a bookmaker who had 100 to 1 against tho horse Date John, Mike cried out, "I'll put a hun dred on that one!" and quickly produced a century, for which be received a tick et calling for f 10,000 to 100. "If Duke John win," 6aid Mike. "I'll buy the trcck." Duke John was last in a field of 1 J, but Kelly only laughed. And so he continued to specu late until the races were over. Then he bad a $10 bill and some change. He paid the car and ferry farts of at least CO unfortunates, loaned 50 cents here nd a quarter there, and by the time he left the boot at the foot of Forty-second rtreet he had a few pennies over ?5. As Kelly crossed Tenth avenue he caught sight of a little girl about 3 years old who was crying as if her heart would break. lie picked her up in his arms and said gently: "What's the matter, little one?" "Mamma's sick in bed and I'm hun gry," 6obbed the little girL Kel Rulrx-d down a lump in his throat, put the child on the sidewalk, pressed f 5 into ber hand and said soothingly: "There, give that to your mother, lit tle one, and may God bless you. "Come on, Ejmrt," Kel said to his friend then. "We're broke, but let's JiUnt up some more green goods." He Hoon borrowed $50 from bis namesake. Honest John Kelly. That was at 7 o'clock in the evening. At 11 o'clock that same night be had won $ 1,000 at faro. The next day be caught the noon lioat for Guttenberg. and be bad but $50.

One Bnndrrd Likenesses of Qneea Victo ria For Every Living; Person. No man or woman who ever lived has bod bis cr her features reproduced of tener than her majesty the queen, says the Boston Herald. The number of ac tual photographs of her majesty in ex istence cannot be recorded, and there are besides millions cf reproductions. Take the number cf stamps sold in the United Kingdom durirg the queen's reign. The number of articles passing through Eng lish, Scotch, Welsh and Irish posteffices in a recent year was nearly 8,000,000, and, though, of course, that figure need not be taken as an average, it is not go ing beyond the mark to say that since tho accession cf the queen over CO, 000, 000,000 postal di patches have passed through the postofficesof Great Britain. Every one of these would bear at least one stamp and many of them two or three, and every stamp bears the image of the queen. Eighty thousand million images cf h r majesty must have gone through the post dnriug her record reign. Then the record of the mint is by no means a small one since the coronation. It is estimated that about 6,000,000,000 coins in gold, silver and bronze have pasted through the hands of ber majes ty's subjects, each ccin bearing the fea tures of the sovereign. Hi r image has been reproduced often enough to present 100 likenesses to every man, woman and child on the globe. Without doubt the qieeu's is the beet known face in the world. Held Bis Aadienee.

KNOWN BY HIS SCARS. that Is tho Way Inaie Horn Keeps Track of Ills Enlisted Mrs. While a good many peoples know in a general way of the Bertillon system for the ideutilicatiou of criminals, com paratively few know of tho simple) method which Uncle Sam has been using Tor a number of years past to keep track of the men who cat bis rations ind wear bis uniform in the regular rrmy. The system employed by the war dt'piertuieiit might 1 terme-d the "nat ural method" and ia at once simple and ingenious. It doe-s away with all ap paratus exoept a vertical measuring rod and a pair of scales. It is known as "the scar system" and bas been found wonderfully effective. There is an unwritten theory in the army that every man who enlists will at some time or other desert. This is not entire ly true-, but W"' de'se rtious aro numerous enough to make it worth while to keep track of the offenders. In war the penalty for desertion is death, but in peace it is a lotig term of impris onment, and the subject is tiable to pun ishment no matter how long a term bas elapsed since bis offcuse was committed. Strange as it may seem, the men who desert most readily are the ones who straightway go back and enlist again, though usually in some remote section cf the country. The "recruiting card, "as it is called, is big enough to contain two 6 Inch outlines of a man's form, front and rear view, with a good sixed border for mar ginal notes. Wnen the recruit is strip ped for bis physical examination, be is gone over from bead to foot, aud every appreciable scar or permanent skin blemish ia recorded. Its location is ac curately noted by a dot en the card, and its description is written on the mar gin. The hands and face usually have the greatest number of scars, but those on the body are apt to be the more pronounced and characteristic, as it ia usually a more severe wound that pene trates the clothing and leaves its record on the flesh beneath. Moles are also noted, their color and dimensions, and other birthmarks or blemishes that would not ordinaniy disappear with tima The question may arise as to what if a man have no scars, moles or birth marks. That would be enough to identi fy him, for in all the thousands of men who have been catalogued by the de partment there has never been one who bore less than three clearly defined scars, while seven or eight is the more usual number, and there are some eases where the number runs up to 80 or 35. Further, so infinite are the chances of combination that there have never been two individuals whose height, weight and the number and location of their scars came anywhere near coinciding. Washington Star. Mum Work la London. To accomplish any substantial result in slum work in Loudon, a wcuian must not only give time and strength but life itself Miss Meredith Brown, the English philanthropist, who has been the champion cf the factory girls for some years, says that women who know only the slums of New York and Chica go have no conception of the horrors and misery cf the slums close to the aristo cratic! purts of London. The girls which Miss Brown's special mission reaches are so rongh and lawless that the Sal vation Army would not take them in, and the directors of a mission which bad invited the girls to tea refused to allow them into the building again. The girls came to the feast with pillow slips under their aprons and snatched everything to eat off the table before their hostesses could stop them. Finally the courageous women inter ested in the welfare of these young semisavagea decided that to reach the girls they would have to live among them. Ten dauutlcss women took up their residence iu a rickety old house in the very heart of all the misery and squalor which makes the wild girls what tbey are, and their efforts at last were met with more than an encour aging response. "But it is very hard on the health," says Miss Brown. "Two years will break down any one, so we have lost some of our best workers." New York Commercial. Made a IMBerenos.

Ciiti'Ano, Aug. 2i The most difficult problem of railroad operation how to eximinunicnte by telegraph with a mov ing train anywhere on the lino bas bnen solved by a young Chicago inventor. George V. Troll, a tinner tol4,;rapa ep erator, has devised a system which will shortly lio put in operation on the Penn sylvania Kiil road by whi s every train on the line will be lu const -inl ei.-ii'iiti'ii-cation with the station next aheal, a:id when desired with tho traiu dii-pjtcuer or any public telegraph sUlion. A train equipped w itli the Trott yl.i would al all limns be ou a "loop" circui', extend ing tothe next telegraph station ahca I, ami to send mm-tagc farther T recHivu them from othor stations the oj-eralor al the proper station would ouly nerve to "cut iu" by means of a jsckspring ou ouo of the regular telegraph wires. Mr. Trott' device is exclusively mo chanical. It involves no new or untried priuciples. The device, which railway engineers doclare will revolutionize rail way science, in an adaption of the street railway ti-olloy or third rail of the elevat ed railroads. Two insulated metal To tracks are laid between and parallel to the traction rails. They are not connected, and at intervals equal iu length to the circuit it is eleeirisl to establish a trolley mechanism, consist ing of three pairs of wheels, connected in multiple by "knuckle" joints and hinged to the foot hoard of the engine, runs un der the tender on the inner rails. The contact of the metallic wheels with the metallic rails closes tho circuit, as the wheels are joined by a metallic frame work. Insulated wires conduct the cir cuit iu the engine c.ih aud by means of tho bell cord into any part of tho traiu desire I. The engineers and electricians of the Pennsylvania Kaili-ond have promised to give tho system a practiced trial as soon as poHsiblu.
