E. O. Wolcott

The dashi'ng young lawyer, E. O. Wolcott, of Denver, who will take the place of Senator Bowen as senator from Colorado in the senate chaniber of the United States, is described as being of a lively disposition. He is but 84 years oíd, a graduato of Yale college, a railroad lawyer and in receipt of $50,000 a year, all of which he spends. He is a pet of the ladies," brainy, handsome, eloquent and thoroughly reckless. Last summer Mr. Wolcott went east to havo a little f un, and brought up one day at a horse race at Lon g Branch. He bet on the winning horse, and rode away with an armful of bilis. Taking thom to his hotel he threw thein on the table - a pile of dirty, greasy, filthy lu- ere. Ringing for two waiters, hc paid them 20 apiece to sort the bilis in piles. "What BhaU I ño with it?" asked the coming senator. "I don't want to carry it around, and I don't believe I want it any way." Some one suggested Phil Daly's gambling bouae, and Wolcott gathered up his bilis and proceeded to Daly's. All liniitations were removed from tlie game, and pretty soon Wolcott had all the chips stacked bsfore him, being 20,000 ahead. Then luck tnraed and Wolcott's pile began to diminish. Finally he bet everything he had on one card. Seven thousand dollars were up. Wolcott lost, drank a bottle of wino with the winner, went home and waa soon fast asleep. Wolcott and his brother were taken out to Colorado by Senator Ilill, who etartcd them on the road to l'ortune. The brother is now a millionaire, and Ed Wolcott oould soon beoneif hoshould hold on to li is gains long enough.
