Rum HoLEs-RUM HELLs.-Mr. Editor-I have
often thought it most singular that Gambling Houses
should be called Hels and Rum Holes shoud be called
places of entertainment for all knew that with few ex
ceptions Rum is the forerunner of Gambling and that
Gambling is scarcely carried where Rum Is not frat
introduced and therefore think that instead of apply
ing the word Hels Gambling establishments 1t should
first be applied 70 Rum establishments. All will admit
tina. drsdrinkns ia the alpervading Of all dis
sipation whether In gambling or anything else; and
would suggest that In future the Rum Holes should be
called Rum HelIs c. s. D.
