the theory of Mr. Baldwin. From
close observation of the Aurora Bo-

this force la electrical and that the

Mrs. E. D. Rand and her daughter,
Carrie B. Band, have nearly completed
their plans for leaving Orlnnell, Iowa,
and moving to New York, where, It Is
•aid, Miss Rand will be married to Dr.
Osorgs D. Herron, the noted Socialist
Dr. Herron Is now In New York and
the Rands will go there In a few daft,
having sold their extensive property
holdings In Iowa. Ths judge who
granted the Herron divorce refused to
>ign ths decree until the oheck for
110,000 was In his hands. The Rands
wars received coldly on their return
to that place.
Miss Rand Is Dr. Herron's wealthy
patrsness, who has been promlMnt|y
mentioned In connection with ths ttor-
ron divorce case. She has purchased
a bouse on Fifth avenue and IV
fifth street in New York, Where
Herron is reeidlng.
Awarding to published plane, her
family will to to Burope bom. and
from this It la assumed that her mar*
ringe to Dr. Herron will take plaee
eoon. In fact, It Is so admitted by
close frlende.
The marriage will be the outcome of
the censes that hats led up to the So-
clai reformer*! divorce from his wife
a few weeks ago. Miss Rand li In
sympathy with Dr. Hsrron's work,

The regular perennial sastsrn ques-
tion has been somewhat obeoured dur-
ing the lut year by the tar eastern
question, but ths Balkan states are
■till mi ohjeet of continuous anxiety
to Buropeaa cabinets. One of these,
.the principality of Bulgaria is par-
ticularly troublesome Just at present
for several reasons. I to finances,
which were fairly well managed dur-
ing the earlier part of Its history, are
now In a deplorable condition. Re-
cent governments have been extrava-
gant in the matter of expenditures,
and the treasury has suffered especially
through a fatuous state railway scheme
which ended In dead failure.
Meantime the country has had a
series of bad harvests, so that while
the demand for taxes has increased
the ability to pay them has decreased.
As a result the problem of meeting the
charges on the public debt has become
a very serious one, and the govern-
ment has been obliged already to pass
some of its obligations. Naturally,
therefore, its foreign creditors are
very nervous, and resorts to new for-
- - * -.-■VvvvvvvvvxrLruTj^jTjTj-Lnj-u-u-u-unj
elgn loans In lieu of taxeB are not ths
promising expedient they once were.
The situation would be quite serious
enough without political complications,
but Bulgaria has these In abundance.
The science of ministerial government
is so poorly understood that ministers
come and go in quick succession, and
thus encourage the rise of factions.
Furthermore, the capital, Sofia, is the
seat of a foreign conspiracy. From
this place a Macedonian committee
engineers its plots against Turkey
and seeks to embroil Bulgaria with
that country.
The Macedonians Inhabit the south-
western provinces of Turkey, none of
which is now known by their name,
and the agitators demand an entirely
new arrangement between their peo-
ple and the Porte. Their scheme in<
eludes a dozen concessions and re<
forms which they have set forth in a
memorial to the great powers, but al-
though the memorial hinted at danger
of a revolution they have gained noth-
ing by their appeal.
In Bulgaria public sentiment con-
cerning tbem is divided. Though
they have a numerous body of sympa-
thisers the government hesitates to
cast In its lot with theirs, because it
fears ths interposition of the powers,
by whose will Bulgaria exists as a
qussl-lndependent state. The fate of
Greece Is a warning which Is not yet
forgotten in any part of the Danu-
blan principalities.
Late in March there was a comlo
opera invasion of Macedonia by a few
score men from over the Bulgarian
frontier, but on the sixth of April the
president of the Macedonian commit-
tee and some of his associates were
arrested In Sofia. This would Indicate
that after considerable wavering the
authorities had finally decided to clear
themselves from all suspicion of a
connection with the conspirators.
The emperor of China Is now said to
be suffering from the effects of too
much tobacco. According to reports
he smokes cigarettes continuously and
as many American cigars as he can get.

A SntlemaiiM^ i Gamklir.
BY MILTON B. MILLER.
(Copyright, 1901. by Dally Story Pub. Co.)
"I am a believer," said the Colonel,
"In man's natural goodness. I had
the pleasure once In knowing an hon-
est gambler, and I liked blm, too, for
he was a gentleman. The days of this
class of gamblers, however, are passed.
Moore—but that wasn't his name-
was a Mississippi River gambler, one
of those gamblers ot the old school,
who played a straight and honest
game. He traveled, In fact lived, on
the big river steamboats. He wouldn't
have felt at home anywhere else. In
no way did he attempt to conceal the
truth about himself. It was simply,
'Gentlemen, I am a gambler by occu-
pation, and a good one. If you care
to have me play with you it will give
me great pleasure. If you don't, it
doesn't make a particle of difference.'
I was then doing some newspaper
work in some of the larger southern
cities, and my business frequently car-
ried me aboard the vessels, and In this
way I came to know Moore very well,
occasionally took a flyer or two, but
knew that the games were to tar tor
my reach. I discovered that when
Moore played with the average man,
luck being equal, he would win nlne-
ty-tllne times out ot a hundred. I
liked Moore's society, and be was a
wonderfully entertaining talker. On
summer nights the steward used to
servs dinner on deck to those who
preferred to have It there. After din-
ner we would go up to the hurricane
deck, and when Moore was on board
he would bring out his flute and play
for us. When the moon was out, and
threw a thin blue veil over the water,
or when the boat carving the dark-
ness" swept so close to the shore that
it brushed the dark willows on the
banks, the rising and falling notes
that came from his Instrument were
gentle music to tho ear. I never knew
nlm to propose a game at cards. He
would play his flute until some one
suggested a game, when he would take
his Instrument apart and put It away
in an indifferent manner.
"1 watched blm at play one night
"There was a pot of 9800 once,and
everyone had dropped out except
Moore and the young man. Moore had
been playing his hands passionless,
but sure. No man except his opponent,
perhaps, could doubt that he held the
winning hand. Suddenly when his
rival bet |60, Moore laid down his
hand, saying, ' I won't bet. I have
nothing. You played that well.'
"The young man reached out fever-
ishly for the pile of money, and then
his hand lay on the table.
" 'That Is not true,' be said. 'You
have a good hand and you are afraid
to play it against me.'
"Moore shot a hot glance across the
table at him and two red spots flashed
Into his cheeks.
" 'I lay down my hand,' he said alow-
