Society Women Attend Poker Club While Uuabanua Look After Domestic Affairs. . The disco-very of a poker club In a fash lonnblo quarter of Ottawa would have at tracted little attention bad it not become known that this club is composed of wom en as well as men who are classed among the leaders In Ottawa's society. The fact first leaked out through a prominent member of the civil service Laving to mortgage his house to pa; for his wife's losses at the gaming table. He did not play himself, but his wife did, while, ho remained at home to look after domestic affairs. Whisky aud water appear to have been tho favorite beverage, and If 'all accounts axe true it has not been taken In small quantities, either, by this select party. So exclusive and quiet ban this little coterie of the "smart set" been that some hus bands of the wives who have membership at this fashionable Monte Carlo have been Ignorant of what was going on, a sowing circle or church guild always accounting for their wives' absence during the even ings they were at play.

Thereby "labor" and the period of confinement are greatly shortened. It also promotes the secretion of an abundance of nourishment for the child. Mrs. Dor A.

View Has Value la Read Estate. People Who Sell Their Dead Bodies. In New York, as in other great cities, where the fight for life is fiercest, there is a price for everything even tinder certain conditions for the very air we breathe. Father Time himself is on sale. The Western Union Telegraph company has desks in the national observatory in Washington. Four minutes before noon the wires of the system all over the United States are cleared of busi ness, and the instant the son passes the seventy-fifth meridian electricity car ries the news to every city. The time ball falls in New York at noon, in Chi cago at 11 a. m., in Omaha at 10 a. m. and in San Francisco at 9 a. m., in simultaneous obedience to that single click from the instrument at Washing ton. . In all the large cities the Western Union has supplied business houses, banks and offices with electric clocks that respond obediently to the daily mandate. Each of these rents for f 15 per year, and in New York alone over 8,000 have been pnt up. Last year' revenue to the telegraph company from the sale of time approximated $1,600, 000. r Water is sold regularly to the ships in the harbor, and the "water boats, " with big tanks on board, are familiar objects to all yachtsmen. Brooklynites will recall the discomfort incident to the breaking of a big main not long since, and the people of Newark cannot forget the annoyance and cost of their experience three years ago. The supply from the Passaio was like mud soup, and for the time being the owners of an artesian well in the Oranges did large trade in water. The householders of Roseville and those even farther down town watched for the morning water carts more eagerly than ever a milkman was awaited and saw a suf ficient quantity for the day provided be fore taking train for New York. Ordinarily there is no sale for air; bat, like water, when a man wants it he wants it "mighty bad." This fox awhile was the case at Libby prison, where, before the prisoners organized sort of government of their own, it was customary for the stronger men to get as near the windows as they dared and then sell their places to weaker com rades who were gasping for breath. Fire, of course, in the form of various com bustibles is a recognized commodity. One frequently hears of those who suffer from strange and incurable dis eases and who make comfortable their last days by selling their bodies to the surgeons for dissection. At church and other sorts of fairs kisses may sometimes be purchased, the tariff varying according to the parse of the kisser or the charms of the kisses. Reduced gentlewomen often derive reve nue by chaperoning and . introducing to good society the daughters of the newly rich. Invitations to select balls occa sionally represent a large outlay, and it probably costs as much to get into the swell set as it does to gain a seat in congress. The social aspirant makes "presents," while the political is "as sessed." Relics, sacred, profane and ghastly, have their price. Autographs of famous people are always in demand, and a bit of the rope with which a murderer has been hanged is valued by gamblers and the superstitious. In Paris it is custom ary, once a year, to sell at auction the personal effects of those who have been executed, and this always attracts large crowd of purchasers. Locks of hair from the heads of noted beauties or celebrated men are marketable. Charms, including, of course, the rabbit's foot, dear to the African heart; bring revenne to their cunning devisers, and astrologers and fortune tellers have a clientele respectable in numbers. Lucky stones and madstones are prized by those who believe in their virtues. Consumptives often pay for the priv ilege of drinking fresh blood as it poors from the necks of butchered animals at the slaughter house, hoping that the sanguine draft may stay the ravages of disease. The big hotels in New York and elsewhere derive some income from the sale of unspoiled scraps of food to the keepers of cheap restaurants, and thus the latter are able to serve their patrons with large bowls of stew at a maximum price of 10 cents. On the east side of this city several people eke out a scanty living by writ ing letters for the illiterate. Even the fonr leaved clover may be turned into coin, 'a big business is done in selling electricity and steam power, while many a man in New York Is paying a high price for sunlight A "view" adds ma terially to the value of house.' " '' How He Rewarded Byrnes For Capturing a Crank. TIPS THAT LED TO A FOBTUUB. A Story of Clever Deteetivo Work la Which tho rorsoaaJ Column Furores Coaaplca onaly The MllUoaalro Threatened by a Vengeful Speculator. : Without entering Into the general sub ject of the financial luok of New York po lice officials, It Is worthy of comment that there Is scarcely a poor man among them. ifl" -..y,' lP SUPERINTENDENT BTBNES. Byrnes, Williams, Meaklni and several others can count the value or their proper ty in six figures, remarks the New York Herald. The story of the foundation of Superintendent Byrnes' wealth is an in terestina one. In October, 1881, Mr. Gould received a long, rambling letter complaining of the way In which the "Little Wlaard" ban died the stock market and winding up with a threat of personal violence. The letter was signed ' Victim." It was fol lowed by another and another until they began to get monotonous and Mr. Gould got scared. He was always a timid man where a question of his personal safety was involved. He sent for Inspector Byrnes, who was then In command of the entire city detective organization. At that time Byrnes was in the heyday of his rep utation as a detective. V This man is annoying me, " said Mr. Gould. "I wish yon would do something about it. " "I will attend to It," replied the In spector. " Then he took all the letters to his office and looked them carefully over. They were all alike In tenor and composition. The writer threatened to kill Jay Gould if the latter did not give him "tips" on the market. This was a simple proposition for the writer, but for awhile it proved a rather bard one (or the inspector. On Deo. 89 be Inserted the following personal In The Herald: If the person who sent an anonymous eom- mtuiication signed "Victim" to a prominent Wall street broker, complaining of his losses in stocks, will call at his office or state where an Interview can be had, everything will be ar ranged to his satisfaction. "Victim" paid no attention to the bait Therefore on Oct 81 the Inspector tried the following: ' Correspondent from Texas can receive advice on security that will make good all he asks for and name his own way of communicating. I have no desire to have a personal interview. To this came a wily answer, asking Mr. Gould If the decline was to continue, but not suggesting any other means of communication than through The Herald. The letter also Inclosed the following cipher, which Mr. Gould was to use In the formulation of bis personals: Western Union, Windsor; Erie, Spoon; Tex as Pacific, White; Union Pacific, Asia; Manhat tan Elevated, Salvation ; Missouri Pacific, Tay lor; D.. L. A W., Todd; Pacific Mail, Concord; Hannibal and St. Jo, common, Wednesday; Hannibal and St. Jo. preferred, Tuesday; Michigan Central, French ; New Tork Central, Berlin; Ohio, Hayes; Denver and Bio Grande, Profit; Metropolitan Elevated, Dislike; Peoria, D. at E., Command; N. P., common. Wheat; N. P., preferred. Corn; Lake Shore, Exchange; Canada Southern, Pulton: Bull, Up Town; Bear, Down Tows. On Nov. 8 Byrnes Inserted the following: Texas correspondent aiust not look for much more decline. Select some other means of communication. This is attracting too much attention. Would rather give a check. Still the wily "Texan" refused to nib ble. The offer of a check did not meet with his approval. In his own words, be "preferred to continue to operate." Then ensced a series of personals with no satis factory result, and on Nov. 8 Mr. Gould said: t Mr FRiajro Your last is unjust. I warned yon not to look for farther decline; alsoagainst the two yon said yon had. Why should yon not trust me rather than ask me to trust youf I assure yon that all yon have sent will be overlooked, and yon have my sympathy and will have my aid cheerfully given in the way I have named. This way of communicating Is not quick enough to prevent accident. I do not Intend to desert you. Be more manly. To this Mr. Gould received the follow ing reply: Dbab Sib Tour object in Inserting the above personal surpasses my comprehension. Do yon suppose that if our positions were re versed yon would think of calling on met If yon did, after what has occurred, yon would be arrested at once. I expect the same treatment from yon. Therefore there is no other way of your aiding ine, if yon really desire to do so, as yon say you do, than in the simple and easy way I have already set forth. I fear that this letter will not reach yon to day, and which I deeply regret, for I must re ceive from yon a favorable reply or none at once. If I do not receive such a reply by "Thursday, I beg of you again if yon will not give it, then Insert none. I snail sell out the few remaining stocks that I have, and yon may prepare for the worst. Yon will be too late in giving me the desired information if yon neg lect this opportunity, and if yon do yon will have no one but yourself to blame for it and what is to follow. This threatening epistle elicited a straight tip from Mr. Gould: Up town salvation. Then tot me know at once how yon stand. This meant "Buy Manhattan Elevat ed." On Nov. 8 Manhattan Elevated closed at 61 K. Two days later It was 68K, and three days later It reached B8J. It evidently pleased the crank Immensely, as he wrote a letter of thanks to Mr. Gould. Another straight tip followed, and then the trap of Inspector Byrnes was thor oughly set. He had procured a great num ber of letter carriers to watch the boxes In the district of station E, where all 'Vic tim's" letters were posted. On Nov. 14 one of the carriers saw sn elderly gentleman drop a letter In a box and hurry away. H opened the box and ' - - saw a letter addressed to "Jay Gould." Detectives who were near by arrested the man, who proved to be Colonel J. Howard Welles, a gentleman with a mania for speculation. He had taken this means to recoup a lost fortune. , This case was the basis of Superintend ent Byrnes' fortune. Through It alone be claims to have made $280,000 on the very tips which Colonel J. Howard Welles bad sought In vain. It was a wise move of Superintendent Byrnes to lefnse the (10,000 cash offered him by Mr. Gould. He probably felt that sooner or later Mr. Gould would express bis gratitude with a "pointer."

Some People In Eastern Tennessee. ' It Is not generally known that in ths mountains of eastern Tennessee there lives aelass of peculiar looking people whose origin is wrapped in mystery and who are called by the whites Melungeoua. Tbey re sent this appellation aud proudly declare that they are Portuguese. The legend of their history, which they carefully preserve, Is this: A great many years ago these mountains were settled by a society of Portuguese adventurers, men ... .nnin whn name from the shore of Will . u- u . . Vtrgluia that they might be freed from the restraints ana urewoacas iropoaeu uuuu them by any form of government. They made themselves friendly with the Indians, and, freed as they were from every kind of social government, they uprooted ail conventional forms of society aud lived in a kind of delightful Utopia of their own creation, despising all forms of religion and subsisting- upon corn the only possible nri,t nf the anil and the u-ame of the great forests. Tbey intermixed with the Indians and suosequentiy witn tne negnsa, and thus formed the present race of Melun geons. They are tall, straight, well formed pee pie, of a dark copper color, but with Cir cassian features. They were privileged ni In tlm old elava davs and accredited citlxens. They are brave, but quarrelsome, and are hospitable to strangers. They have no preachers among them ana are aimosi without any knowledge of a supreme being. New York Recorder.
