TEASING TIE TIGER.
The Police Visit the Arlington and Green
Front Gambling Saloons and
Arrest Occupants.
A Description of the Raid and Details of
the Way in which 1t was
Effected

Last night the police decided to make a
raid upon the gamblers and proposed at first
to make simultaneous raid upon all the
prominent gambling dens in the city. Un-
fortunately this was impracticable by reason
of the limited force, and ultimately it was de-
cided to make raid upon the two nearest
gambling saloons to the police station, those
known by the name OF the Arlington and
the Green Front. Ten o'clock was the time
fixed for the raid, and the men who usually
60 on duty at midnight were called to aid the
movement. All the men had instructions to
be on hand at 10 o'clock. About the hour
appointed the men quietly separated,
each going apparently upon his own way in
an unconcerned manner. One division acting
under Deputy Marshal Karber, directed their
efforts to the Arlington. The other division,
under Captain Hughes, went sto the Green
Front. The men took the various positions
assigned them. Almost precisely al 10
o'clock the whistle signal for attack was made
A LIGHT commissioner was with the police
division near the Arlington. No sooner was
the whistle sounded than the police rushed in
by the back and front way, and took their

into the room it could not have created greater
CONSERVATION. AT the tables were some OF
the most noted gamblers in the city, and be-
fore them were the piles of dollars SO fascinat-
ing to the victims of the infatuating
pastime CONSERVATION was depicted in
their faces before they could re-
alize what had occurred, and then
they assumed a sang froid air that many evil
IDENTIFY did not feel. The dealers and lockers
on were Immediately arrested and ordered to
clear their tables, which they did. The police
also arrested some men who were playing.
1t was then arranged that the proprietorS were
to give bonds for the whole party. By this
time many people, hearing Of the excitement,
had rushed into the room, and the scene was
a perfect babel. The police then withdrew,
and the house was closed for the night On
returning TO the police station it was found
that Captain Hughes had been equally sue
cessful at the Green Front, and the Marshal S
Office was filled with deplorable set of ill
dressed men, mostly Mexicans, who were APP
parently greenhorns. Their names were reg
istered, bonds were taken for their appearance
and they were then released.
The arrests made were as follows For

Bias Villareal, w. A. Lamb, G. J. Murray,

All wee before the Recorder this morning.
The cases of those who exhibited gambling
tables were continued until Saturday, March

fined $50.

Mrs. Rocco's Sick Friend.

Government bonds worth SIS, 600 and So, 900
in cash were in a satchel Mrs. Rocco carried
out of Memphis saloon the other day. Her
husband, the proprietor of the saloon, thought
she was going to see sick frienG, but as she
has not returned and his late bartender, a
dashing fellow named Moore, has not been at
his post since then, the conclusion has been
arrived at that the bartender was the sick
friend and his disease longing for the wealth
of his employer. Rocco looks at the matter
philosophically and says the pair may have the
money if they will only stay away.

is absolutely and in the very nature of things
impossible, for sin is not an outward act nor
any number of outward acts. 1t is a temper
OF the mind and attitude Of the spirit towards
Almighty God. 1t may be said to consist in
the absence of the love of God. Now, not
all the physical force in the universe-and
law means al bottom physical force-can
produce love to God. But, in fact, nobody
admits the principle against which / am
arguing. The prevention of sin against God
is not seriously offered as reason for pro-
hibitory law. 1t is added to give, SO to
speak, body. flavor, color to, the other rea-
sons 1t is, in an inverse sort of way, an
adulteration of the argument, the intemper-
ance is only one cause of domestic unhapp-
ness, and am very far from believing hat it
is the greatest. But by what conceivable pro-
cess OF legislation can this be prevented
Can policeman make a man love his wife
1t may be replied that this is not intended, but
only the protection Of women and children
from brutal violence and fraud. But Tor this
purpose the existing laws are sufficient. If
drunken man assaults his wife or makes away
with her property he can now be prosecuted
and punished like any other ruffian or any
other thief Similarly, any man, whether
drunk or sober who is disorderly on the
street and assaults passengers can be arrested
and punished. That men who commit crimes
are often acquitted on the ground tina, they
were intoxicated is the fault not of the laws
but OF juries, and is one proof out of thou
sand that, so far from peblic feeling being
ready in sympathy with the proposed prohibit
tory laws, il is not even on level with
the severity of the laws which already exist"

NOT MAN But DEMON.
The Murder of Lizzie Walsh by Her
Drunken Husband.

hhe "uFuer vi Lizzie walsh by Her
Drunken Husband.
A wife murder phenomenal in brutality was
committed in Chicago Sunday night. A
drunkard named Thomas Walsh, whom six
years before girl named Lizzie Farrell had
married despite objections by her parents,
whipped his wife to death with strap. The
next morning he went to police station and
remarked coolly: Il am in hard luck this
morning. had some trouble last night with
my wife. We got into a row and beat her
with strap. When awoke this morning I
found her dead body by my side"
A little daughter, the child of the murderer,
had seen the crime committed, and told the
story to the officers. "Papa cursed mamma
and beat her with the strap" said the child.
''When she screamed he hit her and clicked
her. Then he took piece of the stove and
hit her. Papa helped her into the bed and
waited while. Mamma laid on the bed and
gave two groans and then never said anything.
She died in about an hour and half Papa
cried little and kissed her l cried, too,
and papa talked to her. talked to her sweet,
too, but she didn't say a word. Papa put the
quilt on her and covered her up comfortable
and nice, and we went to bed. When papa
got up he took a drink of whisky"
The murderer is in custody.

A Duchess Dying i'm SquaIOr.

Young, beautiful and brilliant, the daughter
of Prince Galitzin and sister-in-law to the
Duchesse de Lynes, who rules the fashion,
ables at Cannes, the Duchess de Chaulnes
once saw the world bow before her.
But reverses came-a loss OF for
tune, Of friends, then scandal. Eventually
she and her husband separated. Her children
were taken by her mother in law, the Duchesse
de Chevreuse. She brought suit for them. 1t
was decided against her. The blow was
greater than she could bear. Always uncer-
tain, somewhat reckless in fact, she now be-
came desperate. She sank. From palace
to the snow-cushioned pave-it was but step.
Haggard women gave way to her; she had not
lost her dignifed men. Even her beauty she
retained to the end, although she had cut off
her hair and sold it to procure morphia, to the
use Of which she had become addicted. That
end arrived one day last week. 1t came in
one of the humblest quarters of Paris, in
squalid apartment belonging to one of her
former servants.

GOLD AND SILVER.
The Former to be Driven Out by a Law OF
Economy

The Former to be Driven Out by a Law OF
Economy
''By the expiration of another five years.
writes the Washington correspondent of the
LIGHT, ''if the coinage of the silver dollar con-
tinues, SITS, 1000, 900 of the circulation, wheth-
er it consists of the dollars themselves. or of
the certificates representing them, will be upon
a silver basis. Probably then, as now. most
OF the dollars will remain in the Treasury. and
the certificates will take their place in crcu Ia
ton. 1t is impossible to believe that SO inn
mense an addition can be made to the circu-
lation without affecting the quality of the
whole mass. The impairment of the gold re-
serves OF the Treasury has already begun as
direct consequence of the silver legislation,
and we may look to see the process continue,
perhaps with accelerating rapidity. But for
the insane policy Of Congress. the
silver dollars which have been coin
ed would be represented by pold
coin, either in the hands of the people or
in the vaults of the Treasury. Every silver
dollar coined displaces a gold dollar. and
sooner or later, by the operation of an inexor-
able economic law, the cheaper money will
drive out the dearer. Twice already in tbe
history of this country has this operation taken
place-once priCr to 1894, when the over
valued silver dollar drove out the gold and
again after the change in the coinage laws in
that year by which the gold dollar was over
valued, and in its turn drove out the silver
There IS no magic in the present situation

Thousands Won at Faro.

"Dink" Davis, Philadelphia gambler,
won Soc, 900 at faro in New York few days
ago. He is about 81 years of age and we'll

characteristic not uncommon among gamblers
is likely TO bring him reverses that will make
his fall as preciptate as his rise was sudden.
Speaking of him an old gambler said: "Now
