FUEEI.AND, I>A„ JULY 25, 1898. j
Practicing Only What They tV.re Taught.
From the Philadelphia Times.
There Is vory general and profound |
prejudice cherished throughout the :
country against the Cuban insurgents
because of their barbarous methods anil j
their unwillingness to submit to the !
discipline of civilized warfare. It is not
surprising that tiie widely diverging j
methods of warfare practiced by the |
United states troops and by the Cuban j
insurgents, very seriously prejudice
our troops against the Cubans who
should be our close and ellicient allies in
the present war in Cuba.
While no defense can be offered for
the conduct of the Cubans after the
capture of Santiago, we should gener
ously judge the Cuban insurgents.
They have been many years at war with !
Spain. The ten years' conflict was par
ticipated in by many of those who are j
now in the insurgent army, and thev
have been at war now for three years
without over receiving a lesson from the j
Spanish army Illustrating any of the j :
humanities of civilized conflict.
They know nothing of civilized war- j
fare and they have never had any of it. I
The onemy that oppressed, robbod and |
murdered tlieid was fiendishly barbarous,
not only against the Cuban insurgents
in the hold, but against their families al i
home; and it is not surprising that an ]
army made up largely uf semi-civflized
Cubans should have no conception what- !
ever of the laws of civilized warfare in !
tha struggle with Spain.
It may bo nothing more than a coinci
dent, but it is certainly remarkable how I
the anthracite coal trade is being push I
ed ahead by tho trust managers In due j
proportion to the activity displayed in !
the movement to "Boom Hard Coal."
J he a Ilia lii o agents of the carrying com- t
panies courteously informed the public (
not many months ago thai the coal '
trade depression was a natural sequence j
of conditions anil that the anthracite I
roads' locomotives were hurtling bitu- j
mlnoiis as a matter of economy. The
recent convention at Scrantot, and the
intimation that certain laws might In
looked up before long, added to the I
preparations to build an Independent '
railroad to tidewater, suddenly changed .
"natural conditions" wonderfully. The
monthly output has been ordered in- :
creased, locomotives are loading up with
anthracite again and the trust managers !
appear very solicitous of the welfare of
coal region towns. Very remarkable
this Is.
Those lfepiihlicans who think that
Congressman Williams did not cm ;
enough ligiire at Washington to entitle I
him to a renomination arc looking about
for some one to concentrate their \
strength upon, and tho name of John I
Mark In has been suggested. Inasmuch
as it Is tho avowed policy of tliu party in '
Luzornn to nominate no man for con
gress who is not a coal operator, the
suggestion has been favorably received j
by Williams' opponents. On the other
side, since it Is officially announced that
John M. Carman's duties as state chair- i
man will not permit him to bo the Demo- I
cratlc nominee. Heorge Markle has been !
seriously considered as the man most i
likely to carry tho district for the Demo- i
crats. It Is quite possible that botli j
brothers may lie taken up as standard- |
bearers by their respective parties, ami i
in such on event Luzerne would witness j
a rare political contest for the congres
sional plum.
When the now county hill Is intro
duced in the next legislature there
should be less heard of It as "Quay"
county than on former occasions. This
name was never sanctioned by the '
people of the territory to he included,
and instead of ever helpfug the measure
in legislative circles It has acted al
all times as a inill-stune. The prospects
of the new county bill going through
both houses again are better than ever,
and whether Jonks, Stone or Swallow is
in the governor's chair after January l
next the act will be judged according to
to Its merits, not, as in 1897, by the
title a few of its advocates gave it.
Therefore, it is necessary that a name j
should he selected which- can ho upheld
by the people after the act becomes a I
'aw. This would not ho the case with
such a name as "Qnav." I
THE GAME OF CnAPS. T
It Originated Juat After the Civil War
When the Darky Had Idle Time.
The Southern negro trusts fortune
with all the blind faith of a little child.
He carries a buckeye for sore eyes, a
potato for rheumatism, a wisp of hair
from the tail of a black dog for pains
I in the back, a voodoo charm to protect
him against the machinations of his
enemies, and a rabbit's foot for luck.
With this collection in his pocket he
goes confidently forth to woo the fickle
goddess Chance. But not in cards or
in twirling wheels or in any of the de
vices known to the devotee of Monte
Carlo does he put his trust, and not
j even the great American game of poker
| has any fascination for him. But in
craps, played in his own remarkable
way. he delights.
Who invented it and when or whert
it originated no one can say, but soon
after the close of the war, when the ue-
I gro for the first time in his life could
taste the sweets of idleness —and a de
licious morsel It was and is—this allur
ing device for causing coins to change
pockets started, and it spread like a
contagious fever. The Greeks named
all the numbers on the dice after gods,
goddesses and heroes, the lucky num
ber being called Aphrodite, and the
: negro likewise has a name for every
■ possible combination of numbers, al
though his are not so classical as those
jof the cultured Greeks. Three he
calls "Free;" four, "Little Joe;" five,
I "Phoebe;" six, "Jimmy Hicks;" nine,
"Liz," and ten, "Big Tom."
The rules of the game are few and
j simple. The first player takes two
dice and shaking them violently in the
palm of his hand calls out:
"A nickel —put up."
Another answers, "I fade you,"
which, being translated, means, "I
cover your money."
The onlookers also take a hand In
the betting, the one who bets with the
player being said to "like him." Every
thing being in readiuess, the player
drops the dice as if they burnt him,
crying:
"Come seben-eleben."
If he makes seven or eleven, he wins.
If he throws the unlucky numbers,
two, three or twelve, ho loses or "craps
out," but If any of the other combin
ations of numbers are turned he makes
his "point," and has another throw.
Now, the "fader" who has covered the
player's money reaches out and picks
up the dice with the announcement,
| "My dice." After making this state
ment he eooly proceeds to carefully ex
amine them to see if they are loaded,
and, satisfied on this point, hands them
back to the player. This iB allowable
j just after the first throw, but after this
it is an insult to the player again to
question their genuineness, and if it
is done a fight is the result.
The player having scored a point the
first time, the excitement becomes In
tense. The white teeth of all are shin
ing, their eyes rolling until they seem
like ovals of Ivory set with a black
bead and their heads commence to
wag from side to side. The player
holds bis breath and not a word Is
spoken by those around him as he rat
tles the dice. It is the critical moment.
If he can make his "point" before he
throws seven he wins, but if seven
comes first he is undone. The bet
tors surreptitiously run their hands
In thoir pockets and feel for a rabbit's
foot.
Suddenly the player blows upon the
dice in his hand, gives a deep gutteral
grunt, and cries excitedly:
"Come to see me, little Joe." The
"fader" keeps repeating:
"Cut him off, seben. Cut his throat,
lucky seben. Jump under him, seben."
There Is ail exclamation front the
"fader," a triumphant laugh from the
player. He has made his point.
There Is an exchunge of dirty nickels,
and a grunt or two from the losers.
The player Is getting warmed up. H
takes off his coat, rolls up his sleeves,
and spits on his tiande. Lovingly he
fondles the dice; luck is with him. The
spectators draw closer and watch with
increased Interest. Hy the rules of the
game he will he allowed to throw until
he "craps out," and, elated hy his suc
cess, he shakes the dice and calls:
"A dime—come up with a dime."
With some grumbling the "fader"
j obeys. The player drops the dice, at
- the same time snapping the fingers of
his other hand, a sure way of bringing
luck, and again the money Is his. The
game now goes on quickly and he wins
again and again, until many of the bel
i tors are compelled to drop out. Soon
the hand of the player trembles as he
| reaches for the ivories, and he takes
out his rabits foot and rubs it on them.
[ "Dat nlggah was born in de full of
| de moon. He's bound to halt luck,"
j some one prophesies, and the player
smiles. As he drops the dice there are
imploring cries or "Come seben-eleb
j en," "Come twelve," "Two, free it is."
! It is nine, and the thrower adds
quickly:
"Liz is de gal fer me," a saying that
always accompanies that throw. Once
more the dice roll upon the ground and
"Jimmy Hteks" Is the throw.
"Big Six, take my gal to Memphis,"
the player entreats, for there are cer
tain propitiatory expressions that must
he used when these numbers are
I turned. The bettors crowd so close
j to him that he scarcely has room to
move his arm, and their faces are bent
almost upon the ground. One tali,
ragged fellow, who has parted with his
last nickel, stands disconsolately upon
the outskirts of the circle, ills hands
in his empty pockets.
Suddenly there is a warning whistle
from the sentinels, the player hastily
transfers the dice to his mouth, thus
! stopping an oath, and a moment later
j when a policeman comes in sight be
I 6ees only an innocent-looking group
| of negroes strolling to meet him.
HIS ADVICE —DON'T.
He fle<l Twlitted the I.ton'a Tell end Hed
Evidence to Prove It.
The man sitting cn a salt barrel had
A hand on which only two fingers were
loft, and sizing him up for a veteran
of the war I askec him if he hadn't
been wounded by a \ exploding shell.
"No, not as I rer members of," he re
plied. AS he held up his hand and turn
ed it over and over.
"I thought that right have been the
case, but you pro: tbly got caught in
some sort of,machinery?"
"No, not exactly machinery, sir." J
"Quu explode in your hands?", JBb
"No; no gun did Vt explode."
I gave it up at that, but after a few
minutes the man lc >ked up and said:
"Stranger, you've seen a lion, 1 reck
on' ■-■ in
"Oh, yea." •" f -
"Seen 'em caged and looking as
harmless as cats?"
"Yes; they generally look that
way."
"That's the way I sized up one In a
cago In a circus. He lay there, looking
so sleepy and good-natured and barm
less that I thought It was a swindle
on the public and I'd try to rouse him
a bit."
"And so you poked him?" I queried.
"No, sir, no poking. I Jest calcula
ted to gin his tail about three twists
and make him feel that life wasn't all
beef and bones and sunshine. I wait
ed for my chance *nd then I reached
my hand in. How far is it from a 11-
on'B mouth to the middle of his tail?"
"Several feet at l^ast."
"I thought It wa= about a rod, but I
know better now. I hadn't more'n got
hold of his tail whra he got hold of me
and wus gulpln* down them raissin'
fingers. He wanted the hull hand and
arm, but they beat him off. I thought
at first I wouldn't '■xpluin matters, but
then I thought I wculd. I look a good
deal like a fool, don't I?"
"Hardly that."
"Well, you do, and that's why I ex
plained. I was fool 'nuff to want to
twist u lion's tail, and you may be fool
'nuff to want to p ke one in the eye,
and so my advice 's —don't."
How Tlioy Love i;cTi Other.
"Did you sec that an evening parer said
that I had created the part'"'
"That was referring to your complexion,
dear."

Pools.
We hear of people every day
Who overstep the rules.
And, by their doings, show that they
are various kinds of fools.
The woman in flesh colored tights
Who dances, kicks and Hlngs;
The man that on the frail trapeze
So perilously swings;
The brazen one who stands before
A multitude, and twists
A slimy snake about her neck;
The tough with heavy flats,
Who meets another in the ring.
And pounds him till he dies;
The man that on a parachute
Drops from the starry skies—
These and a hundred others we
fxiok at in speechless awe.
And then declare them all to be
The biggest fools we ever saw.
But, after all is said and done.
Is the fool that thrills us so
More foolish than the gaping one
Who pays to see the show?
LONDON'S LATEST PASTIME,
Fencing M nn After-Dinner Amuae
ment for I.atllea.
Fencing promises to become more
and more of a fashionable pastime in
Ixmdon, especially among the fair sex.
The authority for this statement Is
Mr. Mcpherson, a professor of the art.
who is Just now taking part in a series
of brilliant ussauts d'armes In Paris,
and whose presence among the cham
pion swordsmen has given rather aa
International aspect to some of the
bouts.
"In addition to the usual orthodox
iisplays In the fencing rooms In Lion-
Ion," he told a Dally Mail representa
tive, "it is becoming frequent to see
after-dinner bouts In the circles of the
elite between a couple of expert fenc
ers engaged for the occasion—a form
of amusement which may yet disturb
the serenity of the other lions, the
German pianist and the Italian vlolin
.Bt.
] "There is especially a movement
among the fair sex strongly In favor of
the foils. After all, nothing is more
| graceful in the world than the silhou
ette lunge brilliantly executed in a
short skirt and gymnastic shoes. And
besides, the exercise develops muscle,
and that's what the sex goes in for
nowadays.
"At least one lady fencer, Miss Low
thcr," continued Mr. McPherson, "is
more than a match for the best ama
teur In England, and the equal of most
of the professors. She has practiced
fencing almost from childhood. More
j than one lady in Ixmdon teaches the
art, and altogether there are more
j ladles practicing fencing in London
than men. This result is partly due to
the enthusiastic advocacy of the foils
I by lady Colin Campbell, who Is herself
an expert. Mrs. Ixingtry Is, of course,
well known as another, and other ac
tresses less known are diligent stu
dents.
"The Italian school of fencing pre
vails rather too much In Ixmdon, and
as the reproduction IB only more or
less like the original, London fencing
leaves much to be desired. Certain
umateurs, however, stand out brilliant
j ly—Capt. Hutton, Mr. Egerton-Castle,
! and Sir Charles Dilke. The last named
is indefatigable, and is well known in
I Paris for his prowess,
i "Paris Is, after all," he added, "the
home of the foils. Whereas there are
hardly more than halt a dozen good
salles d'armes in Ixmdon there are
Bome hundred and fifty in Paris, and
' the virtuosity of the exponents is pret
ty much in the same ratio. Rue, Pre
, vost, Klrchoffqr, Conte the Italian, and
young Desmedt, the Belgian, are the
present stars of the professional Arma
ment.
"Latterly in France the foils have
yielded in some quarters to the dueling
sword, in which the play is notably
different. Thomeguex, for instance,
j who fought Pini, is not a marvel with
the foils, but one of the most redoubt
able of opponents with the sword, and
| especially when the wigs are on the
1 green."
j There is a prospect of London seeing
some of the champions mentioned at
a tournumeut to take place at one of
the sporting clubs.
Hygienic Five O'clock Ten.
No woman with any regard for her
'digestion will drink tea*at an afternoon
reception unless she arrives Just after
the samovar has been lighted and sees
the teamaker put the fragrant herb
In the pot. When tea is left standing
tor hours, as is usually the case at ah
afternoon at home, it becomes tanic
acid pure and simple, and is almost as
effective In wearing away the coating
of the stomach as any other corrosive
poison. For promoting Indigestion
and gastric disturbances tea that has
"cooked" for a whole afternoon 1s quite
unexcelled by even bakers' pies or hot
biscuits.
A clever device Introduced at a wo
man's club to obviate the calamity of
every member becoming a dyspeptic Is
the tarlatan tea ball. A sufficient
quantity of tea to make a teapot full
of the cheering beverage is placed In
the teapot. The tea is enclosed in a
little bag of tarlatan and as soon as
:he liquid has "drawn" the bag is Ashed
out and thrown away. When the tea
pot is empty a new tea bag IB put in,
ind fresh tea made. One result of this
hygienic precaution Is that the club in
qucßtlon evinces as much Interest in its
5 o'clock rite as it does in speeches and
discussions, thus bringing the mem
bers into closer touch with each other
than they would be if all their time
and energies were expended in political
pother.

A clever writer says worry is a mor
tal enemy to beauty and charm of man
| ner. This is undeniably true. Worry
over the Inevitable Is not only a wrin
kle Inducer and frown instigator, but
, It Is a senseless and wicked rebellion
against what cannot be helped. Worry
: clouds the eyes, makes the voice sharp
and impatient, puts hard lines about
the mouth and destroys repose and
gentleness of manner. Whatever Is, Is
best. Therefore one would best con
trol one's feelings and learn as soon
as possible to know that bright eyes,
sweet voices and smiles about the
mouth will add much to one's beauty
and to one's circle of friends.

A STOItY OF INDIA.
A group of British officers were seat
ed In the quarters of one of their num
ber in the garrison of Calcutta. Chester
Ashby, captain of dragoons, seemed the
most deeply Interested.
"It Is certainly strange," observed a
young lieutenant, "where Miss Blatch
ford could have disappeared to. That
it is a case of abduction there Is little
doubt In my mind, but who Is there
who would dure to perpetrate such a
crime?"
"I know not, Will," returned Ashby,
"but as sure us there is a heaven above
us I will find her, if I have to search
through every palace and hovel in In
dia. Gentlemen, she 1b my affianced
bride, and dead or alive find he* I
will."
As the young Boldler crossed the par
ude ground a white robed,~dusky form
followed closely behind him. When the
two reached a spot where the light
which streamed from the barrack win
dows did not penetrate, the nutive
touched the European gently and whis
pered:
"Would Ashby sahib find the lost
maiden? If so. All can direct him to
where she lingers."
"What? You?"
"Sahib, she Is even now a prisoner in
the palace of the rapah of Judpore."
"What! In the power of that heathen
prince! By my sword, I'll go to the
colonel at once and ask permission to
order out my dragoons and tear his
glittering abode down about his ears."
"Stay, salilb!" quickly rejoined tho
faithful servant. "If English soldiers
were seen about the palace of the rajah
the feeble spark of life which still flut
ters In the bosom of the white maiden
would die."
"What! Would the villain murder
her?"
"Sabib! All has said the maiden
would die and leave- no trace of her
death. Listen, sahib. The slaves of
the rajah are the friends of All, and it
Is they who have told him of their
master's captive. Would Ashby sahib
enter the palace of the rajah unaccom
panied, save by Ail?"
• • • •
"Why does the light of the rajah's
eyes weep? It should bring Joy to the
heart to be the chosen one of so great
a lord," and a lovely Hindoo girl knelt
at the feet of Agnes Blatchford, who
was sobbing bitterly.
She offered no reply to the kindly
meant speech of her companion. Pres
ently the damask portiere at one end
of the salon was lifted and the rajah
himself entered.
"When will the light of my life cease
weeping? And when will a smile adorn
the face of her who is loved by the
rajah of Judpore?"
Agnes Blatchford sprang to her feel,
and, turning upon her persecutor, ex
claimed, "Never, wretch, never, until
she is restored to the home of her fath
er."
The native prince might have made
answer had it not been for the entrance
of a sable Nubian, who, falling Aat up
on liis face, begged forgiveness for the
intrusion.
"Speak, slave. What would you at
this time?"
"Most mighty and powerful rajah,"
said the black. "Will It please the son
of a king to look upon that which his
servant has brought him?"
"The curiosity of the rajah Is arous
ed. Let him see."
The Nubian arose and left the apart
ment but reappeared in a moment, ush
ering in a closed palanquin, which was
borne upon the shoulders of four blacks
like himself.
A sardonic smile played about the
lips of the rajah as lie stepped forward
to lift the rich curtain of the litter.
The next moment he started hark in
horror with his right hand clasping
the hilt of his scimeter.
But before he could draw the blade
the sword of Capt. Ashby was at his
throat.
"Wretch!" exclaimed the soldier,
"Were you a Christian 1 would award
you a moment to make your peace
with the Almighty! But, infidel dog
that you are, look your last upon
things earthly, for your time has
come!"
The rajah essayed to call for assist
ance, but the call died away upon his
lips, for his eyes fell upon a body of
dragoons that were rapidly Ailing the
apartment. Lieut. Carleton sprang
forward and struck up the blade of his
captain.
"Your pardon, sir! Do not forget
and overstep your authority. This ra
jah Is u man of high position. The
British Government should deal with
him."
"Lieutenant, I thank you," returned
the captain, with more composure.
"Secure our royal prisoner well. I hold
you responsible for his safety."
It was now that Capt. Ashby Afst
seemed to take notice of the girl whom
he had rescued. Springing to her side,
disregarding the presence of his sol
diers, the captain clasped her in his
arms.
The faithful Alt had, as he said, ob
tained the Information as to the where
abouts of the young English girl from
the servants of the native prince, who
without exception, hated the tyrannical
despot. It was he who suggested to th#
captain to effect the rescue of Miss
Blatchford by entering the abode in a
palanquin, for he felt that if his mas
ter could reach the side of the young
lady hs could protect her from the fury
of the rajah until his soldiers could
gain an entrance and come to the sup
port.
