Amedeo Bassi, an Italian tenor, who
errvea here Des. 2 to become a mem-
ber at the Manhattan opora company,
lost 126,000 in currency and a 11,066
diamond ring at baccarat on the voyage
hero from Colon on the ateamship Colon
of the Panama line.
Bassi reported his loss to the explain
of the Colon, adding that two ther
men, whose nameg ho could not give,
had, too. lost heavily The singer add-
ed that he suspected two Americans or
sharp practice with the cards.
At any rats, the tenor when he
reached New York had only a few
cents in his pockets, but he had saved
one diamond ring, which be at once
placed in the custody of Oscar Ham-
merstein, his impresnario, with the re-
mark :
“Take this, please, quickly, for I do
not want to be robbed."
According to Mr Hammerntetn the
ring weighs 24% carats and is valued
at more than 17,000.
On the first day out these men met
in the smoking room The Americans
spoke spanish fluently and as Basel
"pek« German, French and spaninh, he
waa able to underntana the invitation
to pane away the hours at caran
“We will play small limit poker." one
of the Americans remarked in opening
a discussion of gambling, but Bassi
voted for baccarat, as hs could play it
but not poker. ‘
That Bossi understood the game was
soon evident. On the first day he won
about 110# and wae delighted. On the
following day he was also anecesnful
and the French traveler and the Ger-
man merchant also retired st night
with an appreciable sum to thelr credit
Then earns a change in Bassi's for-
tune He began to lose steadily, small
sums at first, but at the request of ons
of the Americans the stakes were
doubled and then trebled.
Stu the 111 luck or the Italian singer
continued to follow him. For three
days after that the stakes ran exceed-
ingly high. He bed lost all his win-
nings and was 35,000 behind when it
was suggested that his bad luck coui
not continue forever.
Basel said that on the fourth day he
lost a commderaMle amount of money
and that it wax always when one of
two men Aselt the cards Hs arose
from the table on the fifth night mor#
than 36,000 loser end early the next day
started to play to lose all or retrieve
his fortunes
When he finally quit, after panwing
over the diamond ring, he had only a
few dollars left Me said he had Ben
advised by a member of the ship's com-
pany early In the journey that the play
was too high and looked eusplciouw.
Basel said he went,to the captain and
complained that he bumpected the Amor,
leans of using wicks in manipulatine
the cards. Inter to Mr Hammerstein
he declared that when the yesaet ar-
rived the two Americans hurried ashore
Mr. Hammerstein placed the rage in
ths hands of a private detective agency
with instructions to look up the names
of the men and obtain a emplet. rec-

All SAings on Texas A Paeifle DIvIlon
Fant Blocked by Cars.
At deast an Idea of the magnitude of
the freight business being handled by
the Texas & Pacific on the Rio Grande
division can be gleaned from the,fact
that practically every siding at very
town between Fort Worth and El Paso
is full of cars and in some instances*
blockades exist.
So serious has the condition been that
all traffic has been delayed more or
less and on a few occasions as much as
six hours* delay has resulted.
It is stated that no ona variety of
freight has brought about the congest-
ed conditions, but that the many cars
of immigrant outfits, cotton, cattle,
fuel, merchandise, railroad material for
new roads, etc., have contributed their
share. *
A singular fact connected with ths
condition is that but few of the cars on
the sidings are empties. As soon ng the
cars are unloaded, and it is understood
the unloading process is all too slow,
the empties are hurried to points where
sorely needed.
While this seriously congested condi-
tion exists on the Texas & Pacific, it is
2ot especlally a noteworthy exception
beyond the fact that it portrays ths
great amount of freight being carried
into the western districts.

I ing a loving heart and extending a

“I see the different ones who shared
in the Lord's trial and crucifixion come

Upon motion, a committee of four,
consisting of Officers Standifer, Teenies,
Aiken and Turner, was appointed te
purchase s wreath of flowers to place
on the grave.
A committee compose of Captan
Cone and Officers Waller and Gregs wan
appointed to confer with relatives ot
the deceased with regard to the fu-
neral
Chief Allen. Sergeant Allgood apd
Officers Bills and Gregg were appointed
as a committee to draft suitable reso-
lutlons, and their report, as follows,
waa unanimously adopted.
We. the members of the Police Be-
nevolent association of the city ot'Kttn
Worth, feeling keenly the loss of our
brother officer, John D. Nichols, whs
lost his life in the discharge of his
duties as an officer of the city of Fort
Worth the night of Dec. 22, and
Whereas, We alt knew him by his
gentlemanly manner and actions, and
his fealty to duty, to tie a good citizen
and a loyal friend; and
Whereas, God in His infinite wisdom,
has seen fit to take him from this world
celvable half aa bad as a soul without
a Savior.
"So we find man in beautiful landa.
Every by-path is fringed with verdure
and beauty; every tippling brook laughs
at him; every sualiased drop of dew
and the canopy ofblue with its dia-
mond studded dome speaks to him of
his Creator. Still in the sweat of his
face he has to eat bread.
"While he is born in ths image of
his Maker, made a little lower than the
angels, crowned with glory and honor,
still he is in a land of sorrow.
‘‘ft was a day of hope and joy, when
the disk of the morning sun first rose
above the eastern horizon and expelled
the darkness from the rolling, wander-
ing. shapeless mass of earth and let a
floodtide of golden rays rift the dark-
ness and reveal Its contents; but the
greatest of all days up to that time was
when a flaming meteor lighted the
darkened sky, beckoning the wise seek-
er after light, life, hope and salvation,
and moved with majestie serenity until
it stood in full orb over the place where
the Hon of Righteousness was born Into
the world and from where He was soon
to rise, with healings in every touch
and with the swiftness of the sunbeam
heal all the diseases the human race is
heir to, rolling back the darkness from
the moral horizon and dispelling the
gloom from the hearts of the human
race and giving promise to fulfill the
highest hopes and the most refined joy
the Infiniti One cun afford.
“An individual that should put such
fores in motion, that made the mon-
archs of all ages respond to its force
and power, that has leveled empires
and kingdoms, built thrones and repub-
lics, stands today the greatest giant
known to the world, the. effect of all
battles being only to strengthen, each
scar being a credential of its force and
power.
"The highest hopes which a human
being could have would be assured and
capable assistance in the various condi-
tions of life, a forgiveness of his sins,
with power to overcome the evil ten-
dency of his nature and a satisfaction
of his immortal longing. The greatest
joy comes with the fulfilling of these
hopes, v
“Whatever condition, circumstance,
age or dime in which we find man, the
Christ has proved equal to the emer-
gency and has satisfied every legiti-
mae demand, and there is no safety
outside of His influence and direction.
No difference what the natural strength
of man might be, covetousness, pride,
envy, hatred, lust and a thousand
snars lie in wait for him and will soon
entangle him in the meshes, of sin's net
nnTess he is given divine assistance.
These promises are given to those who
srek first the kingdom of God and His
righteousness.
"So whether we are young or old.
whether in health or sickness. In sor-

Resolved by the Police Benevolent

In special meeting assembled. That in
the loss of our brother officer the city

It neans much, not alone to the peo-

"Birthdays are great days What
an event was the birth of the earth,
when Omnipotence asserted Hlmoelf
and there fell from Mis plastic hand a
new born world. The stars joined to-
gether in a grand chorus and the music
of the spheres was pitched on a high-
er key and made sweeter melody than
ever before, and God the Father. God
the Son and God the Holy Ghost, pro*
nounced it a good work.
“It was a great day when the Divine
hand traced in clay the outlines of
the physical frame that should bear
his image and breathed not only mor-
tal life, but immortality into it.
"To give birth to the earth the Lord
had only to will and use His mechan-
leal genius To ereate man He not
only used these, but called a council
exhausted heart and brain, and made
something at near like himself as Di-
vine wisdom would permit
“It is too bad that the roseate pic-
ture given of man . In his innocence
should ever be marred. That this being
should disregard the instructions of a
loving Creator who was forced by His
mandates to cast him out of his bliss-
ful abode and write such a dark chap-
ter in his glorious history is to be re-
gretted. but such is the case, and we
find man groping in darkness, with
not a ray of ivfne light to fall upon
the retina of his immortal vision.

he will recover.
After,obtaialtig all possible testimony
and weighing it carefully, the officer*
were yesterday practically convinced
that there was no third party in the
shooting affray. One eyewitness, di-
rectly after the shooting, and before
the excitement had subsided, stated
that there was a third man, but Frank
Do Beque, the main eyewitness, la posi-
tive there was none other in the af-
fray except Wise and the unfortunate
polkcenian. However, the ofteers have
not ceased their search for a man that
Wise saya came to Fort Worth with
him. •
Wise remains at the Fort Worth Med-
leal college under treatement of Dr.
