THE MORNING ASTORIAN, ASTOKEr:, OREGON. SATURDAY, DECIMBIB 30, 1903. FEMININE GAMBLERS Women Who Have Won Fime By Reckless Wijcrs. . tUJNS IN THE FRENCH BLOOD tnaot Eaa Furnished tie Greatest sTamber of laea Fvrioas P ranters HeD Gwynns Daring Play lb Act ' as Lonaa Paqoita, From tine to time throughout the world gambling among women baa flourished and declined. The page of history tell orer and orer again the tory of great women gambler. Franc baa furnished the greater num ber ot these, but England ha not been our . Detund, wnue America ha put Berth many whoa f am ha become In- ' taraattooaU.. . There aeems to be something In the blood of French women that make them gambler of a high order. Mme. 44 Montecpaa won so much at basset , her farortte-game, that Louis IV. was alighted and borrowed some of ber winnings, but ah lost a great deal at times, and her play grew so furious that in 1682 Louis abolished the game. It la recorded of madame that she. one night while the king looked on at play. . risked a sum equal to 40,000 on a sin gle card and that the king grumbled when no one could be found to cover 'the bet But! madame also lct, one "New Year night. 700.0X crowna at 'boca and on antty'r night almost 200,000 at the name game. Mme. du Barry was the most famous woman gambler of the time of Louis '. XVv'but with her It was only a pas time. But that other farorite. Mme. de Pompadour, went In with the sole ob ject of winning. If she could. It la re corded that ber 'winnings were enor mous and that In a single night she cased the pocket of the king of 25,000 kmia d or. Queen Marie Antoinette, according to history, was a gambler who liked to be surrounded by gamblers. Faro was the popular game, but the stakes got to be so great that many a nobleman had his entire estate wiped out In a single , night Scandal rose high, and the game J was forbidden, nevertheless, in a abort lime It waa being carried on again not only in the apartments of the queen, lut at the bouse of the Princess de Lambaile. At first the queen and tho who desired to play with her went to tfiat anaptniMti fit frnn HnAmon whose bouse Is credited with hiring been the scene of the highest continued play of any in France. But matter got so bad before the end came that noble men would no longer play with the queen, and she admitted to ber table many common gamblers. Then the scandal broke in full force, for some were caught cheating, and one wa ren arrested for picking a pocket. Possibly the mont famous woman gambler of Englinh history was Nell Gwynn, the actress who was so great a favorite with diaries II. In that reign the manners were much the same a they were at the French court. Nell Gwynn lost 5.000 to her- rival, tht Duchess of Cleveland, and In one year Jort upward of 00,ooo, which the king paid. There had never been known mo much gambling among women as wa carried on In that reign. After the Duchess of Mazarln. niece of the cardi nal, had lost 1,000,000 the died in ab solute want. The acknowledged queen of Ameri ean women gain biers was Lonna I'a oulta, who was born In Texas about 1850; but early went into Mexico to rule over outlaws and cowboys. The little Lonna was scarcely twelve years f age when nbe fell In with an old time gambler named Qtialetor. who tanght ber every trick known to the gambler's art. She made her first ap pearance In Paso del Nrte. Phe was only a child, and the rough gamblers laughed nt her. Iiut they soon found that they were so match for her, and that even her teacher, Qualetor, whs a tenderfoot eompared with the child. With the yarning years Lonna Taqnlta grew to s a beautiful woman. Her hair waa as black as night, she had eyes that confounded those of the gamblers who played with her and a voice as sweet and silvery as a bell. Fbe was aa handsome a woman as one could wiah to see, but with heart of Ice and nerves f Iron. Her small white hands could manipulate the cards with a skill that defied the watchfulness of the keenest gambler. There were many people who thought it waa merely luck that followed her, but the luck kept up too long, and the gamblers who knew a few tricks them selves understood that It was "art." Btlll, no one was ever known to catch her cheating. Before she was twenty Lonna ratjulta was In New Mexico leading a gang of the worst characters f the sown west. r Her death occurred in 1S75. and was tragic. Borne lawless acts had been tommltted.bysJi .bods ofxgreawrs. and search was made for them. Lonna Paouita was found to I their lender ntf wan canght. She only Innghed when she was taken, and proposed that a game of ronlK t-e played to whether she should act fre or kill her self. This waa agreed to, and one of tba party, a gambler known the eoun try around, waa selected. T1 woman loat Those who looked on bad scarce ly tin to understand thla when Lonna Paaulta drew a knife from her belt and plunged It Into ber heart. The women of today, although they doubtless gamble aa heavily aa In other times. Incline more to speculation In stocks. The new woman will go on gambling, but appearances show that ah caret a great deal more for tba money there la In It than she doe for the notoriety of being a gambler. Ur trpool Mercury.
