Teddy and Togo are popular.
It is doubtful If the gallant Jap

would arouse more Interest In Pendle

Increased Interest has boon aroused
In tho Rosslyn-Maxim gambling con
test In London by tho fact that the
earl won more than $9000 the third
day of play, making hi. a a winner of
more than $6000 In three days, says
the London correspondent of the New
York Telegraph. Pat Stteedy talked
to me for an hour about a system that
he had discovered could not lose. If
one bet $5 every time the ball rolled
no moro and no less he would
come out $15 at the end of 100 rolls.
Of course, a $10 bet would mean a
winning of $30. Mr. Sheedy proved
everything he said w.th figures, and
yet he had to go Into the picture
business -to make a living.
Mr. Sheedy took his system over to
England to explain It to Henry Labou
cherc, editor of Truth, who, Mr.
Sheedy said, Is Interested In gambling
us an umatcur. After Sheedy had got
into the explanation, Labouchere as
tounded him by producing from hjs
desk the same figures that Sheedy
had. He had discovered the martin
gale himself.
An old dime novel writer of this
city, Albert W. Aiken, discovered, or
thougji he did, a system whereby a
man could not lose at faro. He Intro
duced It and explained It fully In two
of his books. It was the doubling-up
system. In this you must bet on the
same card all the time, nnd the basis
of the scheme was that the cards
could not run the same way always.
Mr. Aiken had, his hero bet $1 on the
ace to win. It lost; then he bet $2
on the ace to win and it lost; then
he bet $4 again on the ace to win and
once more It lost. The fourth time
he put $8 on the act to win and it did
win. Thus he had wagered altogether
$7 and won eight on the last bet, his
net winning being $1. Aiken's sys
tem Is all right In theory. It worked
so well in his novel that faro bank
owners bought off two of his heroes.
The weakness of the Aiken system,
which It may be said Is not a discov
ery of that novelist, but has been
known ever since men have gambled.
lies In the fact that while the chances
are that a card Is bound to turn win
ner some time or other, yet It may
turn to lose 60 times In succession,
in which event it would require the
capital of a Rockefeller to back the
play. And again every bank has a
limit It may be $50, In which case
the bettor would have only six chances
to win his $1. His last bet would hnve
to be $32.

XesiiiMT Man Wunts Divorce.
It. C. Julian, editor of the Wallula
Gateway, in the superior court this
morning brought suit for divorce from
his w ife, Maude M. Julian, whom he
accuses of deserting him, says the
Walla Walla Bulletin. He states that
their two minor children are now
with the mother In Portland and that
he Is willing to contribute $10 a month
for their support. Ada, a daughter of
Mr. Julian, he says, keeps house for
him and is supported by him.
Consul James W. Ragsdale of St.
Petersburg, advises that the Russian
duma has under consideration a bill
requiring manufacturers to Insure
their laborers against accidents while,
employed In factories and to provide
for them In case of Illness Upon this
the consul comments:
The law of 1903 Imposed this duty
directly on the employers, but under
the new law Insurance by an organ
ized Insurance company will be pro
vided. This substitution will entail
an Increase of expense on the part
of manufacturers against accidents of
about 1 per cent of the salary of all
the employes. As there are about 2,
500.000 persons employed In manu
factories, drawing an average of 220
rubles (ruble equals 51.5 cents) each
per annum, or a total of 550,000,000
rubles, the assessment will be consid
erable. The bill further provides for Insur
ance against Illness, the premiums
to be paid conjointly by the laborers
and the employers, the former pay
ing from 1 to 3 per cent of their sal
aries and the latter twothirds as much
which together will aggregate about
7,300,000 rubles. These assessments
will vary somewhat but are based up
on the statistics of the past, which
will show the average cost of treat
ment In case of Illness to be about
four rubles, or 2 per cent of the
workman's salary. The new measure,
therefore, If It becomes a law, will
ental on the manufacturer an ex
pense aggregating about 5,000,000
rubles more than was required under
the law of 1903.
