An INTERESTING CEREMONY.
A Baltimore Lady Takes the Veil.


At an early hour this morning a few
friends assembled in the little chapel of
the Sisters of Visitation, corner of G. and
Tenth streets, to witness the regular adj
mission of novice to membership in that
order As soon as Father Stopestreet, S.
J., 1.-THE officiating clergyman entered the
sanctuary and assembled the altar, the young
lady (who was about to leave the WORLDLY
entered in full bridal dress, wearing veil
and orange wreath, and accompanied by a
Sister of the order on either side.
Approaching the railing of the sanctuary
thev knelt, as did the small congregation
present, which consisted of few ''wordly
ones" and number of Sisters, who oecu-
pied their small pews at the right, and bore
each lighted candle. Appropriate re-
marks were then made by Rev. Father
Stonestreet. The altar itself was decorated
and lighted as for the celebration of mass.
The services began with chant by the
Sisters, and prayer by Father Stonestreet,
The applicant was first questioned as to
whether she had fully and freely deter
mined TO leave the world and enter the sis
rerhood, to which she uniformly answered
eyes" and explained her desire at length
Prayers appropriate to the ceremony
were again offered, and the wreath and veil
thrown off, and the white dress of the nov
ice exchanged for the dark heavy gown of
the order. The hair was cut and the hood
and veil of a Sister substituted for the
more elaborate head-dress of woman of
the world. Again the suppiant was offer
ed choice between life in the world and
life devoted to the lord, when she again
distinctly repeated her selection.
She was then told that she should no
longer be called Theresa Courcelle, but Sis
ter Mary Lewis, ana that henceforth she
was dead TO the world. Here according to
the ceremony she Frustrated herself, with
her face to the floor, and her body was COW
cred with black pail, indicative of death.
solemn chant was sung for some minutes,
! while she lay Frustrated
After this she rose, again approached the
railing, received the crucifix and lighted
candle, and further prayers and instruc,
tons touching the good choice she had
made in devoting herself to His service
who had said, Suffer little children to
come unto me-" The whole ceremony is
beautiful and interesting, and is hallowed
by the associations which surround it from
early time.

Betting Oh Elections.

The Sacramento Union publishes an in
teresting decision of the Supreme Court Of
California on betting on elections. The
case was that of Johnson VS.. Russell, ap-
Dealed from one of the district courts
johnson, the plaintiff, made several bets
on the Presidential election last Septem-
Der. Russell was the stakeholder. Plain
tiff allowed the stakes to rest without de-
handing the withdrawal of his own or any
part of the same till the 23d Of November,
when, from the published election returns,
it became certain that he had lost his
money. Then he sent the stakeholder
Russell, a written notice not to paw the
money or any part of it over to the win
ner. and that if he did, plaintiff would
hold the stakeholder responsible for his
part of the stakes Russell did paw
the money to the winner, and hence
this suit. The court decide-Sander-
son writing the Opinion-first, that gam
bling on popular elections is against pub
lie policy, and therefore illegal; second,
that money wagered may be recover
ed at law if the party who staked it
makes a demand for the same before the
event on which he wagcred has been de-
cided; third, that if the bettor allows his
stake to remain in the Shareholders hands
without any demand for his return until the
event has been decided. he cannot then
come into court and sue for its recovery.
This was what the plaintiff did in the case
decided. He waited and stood upon the
laws of honor till he found he had lost, and
then he appealed from the laws Of honor to
the laws Of the land, The court was unan-
imously of opinion that to allow him this
appeal would be to encourage fraud. They
reaAirm the dictum of the Court of Errors
of New York, in Vischer VS.. Yates, as the
law of California, which was that ''either
party might disafiirm the wager and recov-
er his money of the stakeholder at any
time before the happening Of the event up
on which the wager was made; but that
the loser could not recover of the stake
holder after the event had happened and
he had lost his money-that in that case,
as to him. the wager had become an exc
cuted contract, and his repentance had
come too late" The conclusion of the
opinion is that, CATER the money has been
lost and won, neither party ought to be
heard in court of Justice.

Gambling and Retting.

After an interval of nearly sixteen years
(says the London Daily News the British
government finds itself engaged in a cru
SADIE against the evil of betting. We say
/ the government because the police prose
cutions of which we read almost daily are
not only too numerous, but extend over
! too wide an area to be referred to the dis
cretion of one or two chiefs of police. For
long time it seemed as though the extern
sion of education and the general progress
of society were likely to abate and finally
suppress the practice of gambling by a
gradual and invigorating constitutional &C
ton working a cure more thorough than
could be hoped for from the application of
external and local remedies. ...
The experience of the upper classes ap-
| peared to favor this view. We do not hear
now of noblemen stalking e5, 900 on q
single card, as Fox told Croker had been
done in his day, nor of losing and winning
! ESQ, 600 in a single night. Pitt went in
and looked at this kind of life, and Wilber-
force attested displayed intense earnestness
when joining in the games, but soon per-
ceived their increasing fascination, and
soon abandoned them forever. Wilbeforce
himself kept bank ''for one night only"
and won $500, but the pain he felt at
knowing that much of this money was lost
by those who could pay without serious
inconvenience, cured him of the taste for
play. Practical worldly sense in one char
1 acter, and kindness of heart IL another. led
| to the same resolution. During the whole
! Of the last century gaming of some sort was
/ thesordinary amusement for both sexes in
/ the best society, and 1t was not uncommon
to hire professed gamester to keep the
bank at private house for the evening.
! The deepest gaming that had ever been
seen in England took place during the Am
erican war, but there was some very high
play at Whites and Brooks for the five
years preceding the peace of 1915.
| So late as 1913 there were as many as
twenty public gambling houses and bells IN
Pail Mall, Piccadilly and st. James's, call
ed into existence by the success of Crock
ford, who had then retired, but about that
time many Of them were suppressed. But
long before that date society had grown oat
of the vice OF private gambling, which fifty
Years before had been the occupation of
young and old, in and out of the season,
and IN town and country. Between gaming
proper and betting as it is practiced with
reference to horSe-racing, the distinction Is
unessential in each case there Is a wager
! depending mainly on a chance For the
last twenty years the increase of race meet
ngs and the increased circulation Of news
papers which for good or evil, augments
every force at work in society, have enor-
mously stimulated the practice of betting,
until 1t may be said that there is no place
where money can be earned borrowed or
| stolen, where horses are not backed

Crazed by Brigham Young.

The San Francisco Morning Call tells
this story: ga young man named Richard
W. Cooke, a native of Iowa, was examined
before the Commissioner of Lunacy, on the
charge of insanity. During the investiga-
ton the mother of the unfortunate man
stated that she was niece Of DIR. Warren,
author of Ten Thousand a Year and had
followed her husband to Illinois, thence to
Iowa, and finally to Utah, as the wander
ings of the Mormons, to whom he had al
lied himself, necessitated. In Utah they
accumulated considerable property, which,
as is generally the case in Mormondom,
was gwen TO Brigham Young for safe-keep-
ing. Even the deeds to every piece Of real
estate owned by Cooke were in some man
ner or other mixed up with Brigham
Young.
about one year ago the husband and
father died, and then the family began to
look about to see what belonged to them;
but, turn which way they would, they could
find nothing without Brigham Young had
not only claim upon it, but also vested
right in it. After numerous interviews the
widow and children were informed that all
the property she believed to be her hus-
bands, and which she had helped to earn,
belonged to other parties and that she had
nothing in the world This intelligence
afflicted the poor woman sadly, but its IN
huence upon her son was still more sad.
He became greatly excited, and it was with
the greatest exertion he could be prevented
from seeking out those who had been in
strumental in despoiling him of his birth
right, taking the law into his own hands,
and wreaking upon them the vengeance Of
an outraged and tottering reason.
so terrible did the anguish of the young
man become, and so fearful that he would
be guilty of some tragic act did the mother
become, that she gathered together such
fands as she could and went to California,
in hopes that change of scenery and
climate would restore him to his normal
condition. She arrived there three weeks
ago, but the change she fondly hoped for
did not take place. Her sons fierce and
excited manner gave way. but not to rea-
son. He has been sent to Stockton"
