STORIES from the
BIG CITIES
Society People See Expose of Crooked Gambling
IHILADELPHIA, PA.—Society here
has been startled by a unique and
P'
sensational expose of crooked gam
bling In their midst, and after losing
amounts aggregating to a fortune at
roulette, each received the exact
amount of their losses In a sealed en
velope at a dinner given by Arthur
Wheeler, one of the city’s prominent
club men, who staged the startling af
fair. Members of exclusive Ritten
house square and Walnut street fam
ilies were present at the gathering
and have made resolves never to dally
with fickle chance again.
The host, who has frequently pro
duced new and unheard of events In
the whirl of social doings here, had
the cotillion room of his Spruce street
residence converted Into a miniature
Monte Carlo, or Palm Beach Casino.
Every device from bacaret, rouge et
noir, to the humble but lucrative
American 'game of craps and Klon
dyke, was in evidence, with faro and
roulette as the chief game for the
society plungers.
Counters were sold by a cashier and
the professional croupiers and dealers,
with their eye shades and calm man
ners, gave the effect an air of the
days of Richard Canfield’s establish
ment and the Atlantic City gambling
places during the palmy days. Many
of the guests had been stricken with
the gambling fever at Palm Beach
during the winter, and it was for
these that the affair was given.

is mourning the death of Nellie, who
long was his mate. Dismally he paces
his cage with a faraway look. The
gentle strokes of the keeper on his
nose pass unnoticed as are the Juicy
•steaks lying on the floor of his cage.
‘Tie mourns as I knew he would,**
said Cy De Vry in a shaky voice. “But
Nellie Is buried in a high and dry
place where no one can disturb her.
She shall have a monument—a small
one--but still a monument”
Nellie for years was the best known
animal In the Lincoln park zoo. She
fwas the mother of 126 cubs. For sev
eral years she had been blind and
gradually getting feebler with old age.
She was twenty-four years old. Cy
De Vry, who has had charge of the
animals for twenty-five years, raised
Nellie from a cub.
Prince was purchased from a circus
in Wisconsin on April 6, 1903, for sl,-
400, SAd placed In the same cage with
Nellie. They lived in harmony and
happiness, the best of “pals” for ten
long years. Visitors used to smile as
they gazed Into cage 4 at Nellie and
Prinoe stretched out on the floor side
by side, both curiously watching the
crowds, as they slowly passed along.
Now Prince Is companlonless. The
world Is lost for him since Nellie’s
death, and he Is cast In gloom. For
gotten are all of Nellie’s bad moments
when she reared In rage over her
cubs.

“Come In and get me If you want

Patrolman Romalne sat down calm

“When you come out I'll take you,"
he said. “I am in no hurry. Just take

he was saying as he emerged from a
motion picture theater the other after
noon.
It did sound a bit scandalous. But
after hearing the first part of the
story It wasn’t scandalous at all.
“It was a dark reel,” the narrator
began, “and I must have been a little
drowsy. Suddenly something soft and
pretty heavy came down In my lap
.with a sort of ‘plop.’ I jumped and
wondered what was over me. But It
was just a big Maltese cat Bbe was
purring like a little sawmill and stick
ing her claws Into me comfortably,
the way cats do when they are con
tented.
“Well, it was the last reel on the
program, but when It was over that
cat was so peaceful and happy In my
lap I couldn’t bear to upset her. So 1
sat through the whole program again,
Kitty bumming away to herself and
The play was heavy and fast, with
the percentage all for the house.
Society matrons who had begun
their dabbling wagers In a spirit of
fun, soon became tense and white
with the strain of trying to recoup
losses, and men whose faces are prom
inent on the stock exchange,. scrib
bled I. O. U.’s, with whicu to purchase
SSOO stacks of chips. Suddenly for
tune seemed to smile on the players
gathered about the large ornate rou
lette wheel. All players won heavily
and other games were Ceserted, while
the entire gathering placed their bets
on the whirling ball.
Just as suddenly as they had won,
the wheel began to play against them,
and In a dozen turns the players were
broke. More written promises and
checks were accepted by the host,
and the crowd again feverishly at
tacked the wheel. Again the little
ivory sphere settled in all points fa
vorable to the bank.
Suddenly the play was ordered stop
ped by the ringing of r. gong, and fur
ther play was refused. The party were
ushered to the banquet hall, and went
unwillingly and without appetite.
At the plate of each was a square
white envelope, and within It the
exact amount that they had lost, to
gether with their I. O. U.’t and checks.
After the dinner the guests were
again led to the cotillion room, where
the host directed some mechanics to
take apart *he roulette wheel. He
showed them the electric wires which
run up the leg of the table upon which
It rested, and how the slight pressure
of the croupier’s foot controlled the
ball with its metal filling.
Marked cardß, loaded dice and
crooked faro boxes, were all demon
strated to the astounded guests, who,
after the strain of their losses, found
It hard to believe that they had not
lost their money.
Once Cy De Vry almost met his
death at the Jaws and paws of Nellie
when he entered her cage and looked
at her four new cubs. This was In
1901. For five minutes the keeper
clung to the iron rods that formed
the roof of the cage while Nellie, in
a rage, leaped at him three times. An
assistant keeper heard his cries and
hurried to the animal house just In
time to drive Nellie into a corner of
the cell with a club while De Vry es
caped.
“Nellie Is a good mother.” said Cy
De Vry after the rescue, "but cross to
men when she has cubs. There Is
nothing like a good scrap to put you
on right terms with a lion, that is,
unless the lion wins.
“Prince has eaten nothing since Nel
lie’s death,” he said, turning away
sadly.
One of the caretakers * threw a
large, juicy steak Into the cage. Prince
looked at It, pawed It and then re
sumed his mournful pacing of his cell.
The other Hons ate the food raven
ously.
And so the officer and his quarry
waited. And a crowd collected and
laughed.
Luts stuck It out until great black
circles grew about his eye 6, his lips
turned a sickly blue, and his teeth
chattered. He was too cold to try
to swim across the river. Any how,
he knew the officer could arrive on
the opposite bank as quickly as he.
The arrival of Bicyclemen Long and
Bastin put an end to the comedy.
Lutz capitulated and waded ashore.
He was locked up, charged with drunk
enness and malicious trespass.
Lutz tied up business In a res
tauarnt kept by Mrs. Levady Chastine,
623 West Washington street, when he
became involved In an argument over
his check and started a fight with the
cook. Patrolman Romlne Interrupted,
and, when Lutz ran, followed the vic
tim to the river. Before his departure
Luts Is alleged to have demolished
the front window of the restaurant
smiling up at me every now and then,
confidingly.
“When I f did get up, finally, she
stuck her claws Into my legs and em
braced me desperately. I never saw
such a friendly cat Speaks well for
the general public, I think, that a cat
in a theater should be so sure of a
welcome and entertainment among
strangers.”

GRACEFUL IN DESIGN
DOSTUME OF GREY CHARMEUSE
PARTICULARLY APPEALING.
Embodies All the Best Btyle Features
of the Season—Hat and Parasol to
Match Add Brightness to
the Toilette.
A costume shown here of grey char
neuse must appeal to everyone of
refined taste. The style features of
the season are embodied In it, and It
is designed along very graceful lines,
following those of the figure cleverly.
The draped skirts are bunglesome and
ungraceful except when managed care
fully. Such good management Is
shown in this case. The round neck
with turn-back collar admits a guimpe
of lace if desired. The drop shoulder
joins a small puffed sleeve terminating
in a turn-back cuff. The collar and
cuffs are made of brocade' matching
the gown in color. The modest split
or curved seam at the left Is about
ankle high. Grey silk stockings and
satin slippers are worn with the gown.
A finishing touch Is shown in the hat
and parasol made to match. They
brighten the toilette delightfully. The
hat Is of leghorn with a drapery of
checked silk and trimming of broad
velvet ribbon with a big cluster of
roses at the back. For this particu
lar gown the combination could not be
better.' The silk is in black and white
check with cerise border and the roses
are In shades of cerise mounted with
broad velvet ribbon In black.
MADE TO SUIT ALL COSTUMES
Waists of Various Materials Intended
to Complement the Skirt With
Which They Are Worn.
The waists now being featured for
wear with tailored suits are, accord
ing to the Dry Goods Economist, made
of matching chiffon, crepe de chine,
satin or messaline. White net and
lace waists are also good style tor
supplementing the more dressy tail
ored suits. In many departments the
models designed for special wear are
grouped together on one table, or In
the part of the counter.
Waists for traveling, for athletic
wear or for general utility purposes
are made along the lines of the man
nish shirt. In New York stores, such
waists In dark-colored crepe de chine,
messaline, brocade and fancy silks
are strongly featured.
In the washable varieties of crepe
de chine, Jap silks and corded silks
the ground is usually white, marked
off with stripes In bright colors.
Middy blouses, finished with a broad
band over the hips, are strongly feat
ured for slender young women and
girls. They are advertised by retail
ers as Balkan middy blouses.
Delicate Perfume.
Some of the richest and most expen
sive perfumes can be made in the fol
lowing way: Select your blossoms,
whatever essence you desire, pluck
from the stems and drop Into a jar
half filled with almond or olive oil. Al
low these flowers or leaves to lie for
24 hours in the oil, then squeeze
through a cheesecloth bag into a per
fectly clean glass dish. Repeat this
operation until you have procured the
strength you desire. Pour this es
sence Into a new jar and thoroughly
mix with an equal quantity of pure
rectified spirits. Let this mixture stand
for three weeks, shaking nnd mixing
it thoroughly every day. After this
process It must be again strained, and
then It is ready to be bottled for use.
Trimming for Small Hats.
Soft and airy are the crowns of hats
covered with maline or crepe. Some
times the material extends over the
entire shape. It may be placed in folds
or gathers, over both the crown and
upper brim. Sometimes a portion of
the side crown and upper brim are
covered with maline or crepe, and the
top of the crown and under brim are
of mllan or hemp.
Printed crepes in oriental colors are
effectively used In the latter form.
Pipings of a contrasting color usually
head the top of the side crown cover
ing. Maline or crepe in a contrasting
color Is fitted over the upper portion
of mary small shapes of mllan, hemp,
hair or leghorn, and sometimes this
soft material is made in a loose puff
ed effect, giving the appearance of
a soft tam-o'-shanter.
New Embroidery Bandings.
The new embroidery bandings are
distinguished. Motife of what seem at
first glance to be rich lace are incor
porated in grounds of velvet embroid
ered linen and batiste; but by-and-by
one realizes that the whole fabric.
COMFORTER FOR BABY’S COT
Pretty Adornmen/ Expensive to Buy,
but May Easily Be Made In the
Leisure Moments.
An exclusive shop is displaying a
lovely comforter for baby which can
easily be duplicated at home. It is
of white china silk trimmed with
small pink roses. The mate'rials re
quired for this fascinating article are
two yards of silk, three and one-half
yards of pink ribbon and one pound
of cotton batting.
Take one yard of the silk and mark
the position of the roses. Arrange
these in seven rows across the width
and seven across the length, alternat
ing four and three roses. Start the
rows four Inches from the edge.
Baste one piece of the silk to a layer
of cotton before joining the other piece.
Sew through the two pieces of silk
and the cotton at the places marked
for the roses, and neatly whipstitch
the four sides of the comforter togeth
er. To fashion the ribbon roses take
one-eighth of a yard of ribbon a half
inch in width. Turn under the edges
and crease the ribbon at the center.
Roll the ribbon~kround until a center
Is formed and sew firmly in position.
Swirl the remainder of the ribbon
loosely around the heart of the rose
until it la completed.
Fasten a rose securely to each place
marked on the comforter.
This is a lovely gift for the layette,
for it is extremely dainty and not diffi
cult to make. Crepe de chine or satin
may be substituted for the silk if de
sired. —Boston Globe.
AFFECT THE MIND STRANGELY
Important Part That Various Colors
Play In Life Has Not Boon
Sufficiently Recognized.
Have you ever stopped to think of
the important part that color plays in
your Ufe? Possibly not, but psycho
logists and some medical specialists—
and they are paying more and more
attention to the subject—say that
some colors have all sorts of curious
effects to answer for.
After a revolutionary outbreak some
years ago in Russia, the fact came out
that the punishment meted out to sev
eral of the leaders of the rising was
confinement In cells whose walls were
painted violet. A few weeks spent In
these cells turned keen-witted restless
men Into dull, stupid fellows, who
moved and spoke as dyliig men do
after they have lost the power over
brain and body.
The effect of red is even more strik
ing, red fs said to produce restless
ness and excitability, and no special
ist will allow a highly nervous patient
to remain long in a room that is
either papered or furnished in that
shade. And dressmakers complain
that to work for any length of time
upon a garment that is tinted red will
cause the seamstress to become tired,
have a headache, and feel nauseated.
Perhaps that is why blue, brown and
white have their turns as the “most
popular color,” while red is always
a matter of individual taste, except
in the matter of occasional trimming.
PRETTY HAT
Black straw toms this wide
brimmed hat. The trimming is com
posed of blue velvet ribbon, which 1s
pleated round the crown. A velvet
rose at the front completes the trim

Neckwear Styles.
The fact that a large distribution of
low collars is expected during the
coming season Is resulting in the
presentation of a host of new styles,
according to the Dry Goods Econo
mist Deep shoulder-pointed numbers
continue in the lead. Cream batiste
of the sheerest quality beautifully
embroidered, with fine hemstitching
and dainty headings and laces, are
used in the development of the fore
most models. Cream batiste is also
used in some of the handsomest flat
collars with jabots. The collar por
tions follow largely the deep shoul
der point idea and the jabots are of
conservative size and style. Flat
pleated jabots are especially liked.
Net, figured and dotted crepes, plain
and fancy voiles and crepe de chine
are among the other prominent mate
rials employed.

and the flouncings to match are

Chiffon Veils.
If you have a particularly pretty
chiffon veil that has become soiled
from use and has lost its pristine
freshness, don’t throw it away or spoil
it by trying to wash it in ordinary soap
and water.
Let it soak for half an hour in an
alcohol bath and then rinse it up and

not to stretch it.
Pat out as much of the liquid as you
can without wringing it and let it dry
slowly. All soil will be removed this
way and even delicate colors will not
be injured.
HOLLAND IS LAND OF TOWERS
Three Most Beautiful Structures Are
St. Martin’s, St. Mary’s and One
in the Village of Rhenen.
Rhenen, Holland.—From northern
Friesland to southern Maastricht Hol
land is a land of towers. Its wide,
flat spaces invite the desire of some
contrasting altitude. The importance
of a tower strategically, and as a
landmark, in a level landscape must
have helped to stimulate the imagina
tion of Dutch builders, for nowhere
else In so small a space are there
more beautiful and stately towers.
The architecture of Holland has ev
erywhere been Influenced by the only
material available, which Is in almost
all cases brick—a brick that becomes
a warm, deep red with age, so that
the towers are often as beautiful in
color as In proportions. They are of
many kinds, and serve many pur
poses. The churches, of course, all
have their towers. Very often the
Mint Tower at Amsterdam.
town hall has a more or,, less lr
portant tower; the weigh house may
have a tower, and also the mint.
Sometimes the tower is a landmark
for miles, like that of the noble
church at Dordrecht, which can be
seen on its water-girt promontory
from far up the river, now concealed
by trees, now emerging again as the
bank curves.
Among all Holland’s many towers,
three stand out conspicuous In the
memory, as being more beautiful,
more satisfying, more stately in pro
portion than all the rest. They are
the towers of St. Martin at Groningen,
St. Mary at Amersfoort, and the tow
er of the village church at Rhenon.
The tower of'Amersfoort most hap
pily escaped destruction when the
church, of which it was a part, was
blown up accidentally more than a
hundred years ago, for not only is It
intrinsically one of the most beautiful
towers in Holland, but it contains a
peal of bells by the renowned Fr.
Hemony. The third tower, that of
the Church of Rhenen, lies on the
slopes of the Rhine.
These three queenly towers have
got a little sister, a very Cinderella
among towers, forgotten and hidden
away In a sort of chicken-run instead
of a chimney corner. It is the tower
of the mint at Deventer. Tourists
never seem to go to Deventer, and if
they did it Is very unlikely that they
would ever hear of the tower of the
mint. The initiated will lead the ad
venturous down an attractive nar
row passage to a small and dirty
court surrounded by dilapidated red
roofed buildings. Here in one corner
is the little old red brick gabled
tower of the mint, neglected and for
gotten, but possessed In its pictur
esque decay of a most engaging
charm.
Delft possesses two good towers.
That of the thirteenth century Oude
Kerk Is considerably out of the per
pendicular. It has a menacing slant
towards the canal by which It stands,
facing the Prisenhof, where William
the Silent lived, and died by the
hands of a half-crazed assassin. The
totfer of the Nleuwe Kerk, in the
Groote Market, is also a fine digni
fied structure, and here one can see,
from the market place below, the
rows of innumerable bells, whose
clear, sweet treble is wafted far and
near when they chime the hours and
quarters.
Among the most famous Dutch tow
ers is that of the handsome florid
Stadhuis at Middelburg, familiarly
known as “Fond Betsy," because it re
peats, at a respectful distance in
time, the quarter chimed by “Long
John" of the Abbey church.
It is impossible to catalogue half
the towers of Holland. In beauty and
variety they cannot be surpassed;
and In this brief notice, those of the
mint at Amsterdam, of the Incomplete
great landmark of Leeuwarden, the
beautiful example at Zalt-Bommel,
and that of the cathedral at St. Hert
sogenbosch can receive no more than
this mere mention.

OLD BOSTON CHAPEL
History of First Catholic Ceme
tery in New England.
Burial of Mgr. Denis O’Callaghan in
South Boston Reveals Facts Con
cerning Quaint Little Structure
—Erected Nearly Century.
Boston.—With the disbanding of the
cortege, numbering thousands, which
escorted the romains of Mgr. Denis
O’Callaghan, South Boston’s beloved
priest, to their last resting place with
in the walls of St. Augustine’s chapel,
a few days ago, the strange fact de
veloped, through fragments of conver
sation overheard here and there, that
but few of all the throng had ever
before heard of the quaint little brick
structure on Dorchester street. South
Boston, or of the little’ cemetery
which lies around it. >
Yet that little chapel and its ceme
tery are possessed of deep historic
interest to New England Catholics, for
the cemetery was the first New Eng
land soil consecrated to the burial
of Catholics exclusively, and within
the walls of the chapel rest the ashes
of many of the pioneers among the
priests of what is now the archdio
cese of Boston.
'Nearly a century ago, in 1818 to be
exact, St. Augustine’s cemetery was
established. Its setting aside was
due to the sentimental regard of Bish
op John Cheveruß, the Urst Catholic
bishop of Boston, for the compatriot
and co-worker, Fr. Francis Anthony
Matlgnon, who had been a priest in
Boston for more than a quarter of a
century. Fr. Matlgnon was sent to
this city in 1792 to administer to the
spiritual needs of the then relative
ly small Catholic colony, and four
years later, finding the field of his en
deavors growing constantly, he sent
to France and induced Fr. Cheverus
to Join him in the work. When the
authorities at Rome decided to raise
Boston to a bishopric it was intended
to promote Fr. Martignon, but he pre
vailed upon them to confer the honor
on Fr. Cheverus instead.
When Fr. Martignon died, in 1818,
there was no Catholic burying ground
in this section, and the body was laid
in the family tomb of John Magner,
in the Old Granary burying ground.
Resolved that his long-time friend
and co-worker should rest in conse
crated soil, with a fitting monument,
■Bishop Cheverus decided upon the
requisition of a Catholic burying
ground and the erection of a chapel
in it.
Whether a suitable location could
not be secured within the then nar
row limits of the city or whether the
purchase of city property was beyond
Chapel of Cemetery Built In 1818.
the means of the email Catholic com
munlty is not know known, but the re
sult of the bishop’s quest was the pur
chase of a small plot of farming land
on the outskirts of South Boston, then
a separate town. Here St. August
ine’s chapel building, by 30 feet in
floor dimension, was erected, and to
it waa transferred the body of Fr. Mat
lgnon, which rests in a sepulchre at
the right of the little altar, marked
by a tablet.
Soon after the chapel was finished
the scattered Catholics of Mattapan,
Milton, Quincy, Dedham and places
further remote, petitioned the bishop
for the privilege of attending services
in it, and the petition was granted.
In 1833 the chapel was enlarged to a
seating capacity of 250.
By 1845 the migration of Catholics
from the Fort Hill section of Boston
to South Boston served to overtax
the capacity of the chapel, and its
use as a place of worship was discon
tinued and the Church of SS. Peter
and Paul, on Broadway, near Dorches
ter avenue, waa erected. Fire dam
aging the new church in 1848, the
chapel was again used for a few
months. From then until 1868 it was
used only for memorial masses. In
that year it was made to serve as the
nucleus of the newly created 8L Aug
ustine’s parish, to which Fr. O’Cal
laghan was assigned as pastor. Since
1871 the only service held in the chap
el has been a monthly mass for the
dead.
The interior of the chapel is the
resting place of the Rt. Rev. John B.
Fitzpatrick, the third bishop of the
Boston diocese, and many others.
The names of families prominent
in the early Catholic annals of Boston
appear on the monuments and head
stones in the little cemetery.
It is doubtful if ever another mis
sion station set up in such a humble
way became on a greater scale the
center of the faith to which it was
dedicated.
