Gods Channel.

Like the channel of mighty river,
Gcd made the heart of man. a glorious
source
Through which he means his bountics to de-
liver;
Wealth. love or learning TO speed on their
course
To all this suffering world. He who retains
The riches of his purse, or soul, or brains.
For his own use, defies God grand endeavor,
And chokes with weeds of pride and selfish
ness,
And rank, vile growths. the bedway of that
river,
Whose stagnant waters-meant to heal and
bless
Grow poisonous in their turbid overflow,
And breed disease, and countless crimes and
woe.
Is thy life crowned by knowledge and affec-
ton.
Hast thou been prospered in a worldly way2
In thy hearts channel gaze with close inspec-
ton
See ii foul weeds fill up its course to-day.
Or do its wholesome waters run forth free,
So men may drink and share thy joy with
thee?

Women Gamblers.

There is married woman residing in
this city says The BROOKLYN Times, who
two weeks ago went with friend of
her own sex to the races at Coney
Island for the first time. The friend
was a regular attendant at the neigh
boring tracks, and bet her money as
regularly as she took her seat on the
grand stand. A regard for strict truth
compels the statement that she lost
with about equal regularity. The
novice, who had never seen horse
race before, and who knew as much
about the merits of thoroughbred as
Jumbo does about Sanskrit, was in
duced to bet So bill. With the
charming recklessness so characteristic
of the sex, she picked out the horse rid
den by the neatest. looking and best
dressed jockey for her first gamble. She
won. Day after day saw her in the
same seat at Brighton Beach or Sheep
head Bay, and on Thusrday evening
last she had acquired enough of the
slang of the betting ring to announce
to some friends that she was .just $500
ahead of the game This is no fanci-
full story Its truth can be vouched for
by very prominent official of this city.
The woman referred to is respectable.
and moves in good society, but In two
weeks she has become a confirmed
gambler. No manly man can see wo-
men bet as they do now days at the
local race tracks, and watch the un-
healthy excitement, the anxiety, and
often the anguish revealed in their
faces while the result of a race in
which they are interested is in donbt,
without a sense of shame and sorrow
for the sordid exhibition. This gam
bling by women, which is assuming
colossal proportions. ought to be
stopped on decent race-tracks at once.
The time viii certainly come-and it is
not far off when it must be stopped.
1t is not pleasant sight to see the
mothers of families and loose women
sitting side by side fevered with the
same excitement.

A Wonder Machine Gun.

A Philadelphia inventor, Hiram S.
Maxim, the inventor of the system of
electric lighting bearing his name, has
invented machine gun that fires six
hundred shots 4 minute from a single
barrel The gun with its tripod only
weighs 126 pounds, and is arranged in
such way that the force of the recoil
from one round at the moment of firing
is utilized and forms the motive power
for loading and firing the next round.
The cartridges are kept in a canvas
belt seven yards long. in box under
the gun: You insert one end of the belt
in the gun, start the firing and then
can train the gun as you choose while
the discharge proceeds mechanically.
A new belt can be attached as the
old one becomes emptied. The barrel
is surrounded by a water jacket to pre-
vent it from becoming heated If the
man working the gun should be killed,
the gun would go on firing mechanic
ally till the cartridges were exhausted,
unless some faulty cartridge interfered.
Certainly q machine gun which one
man can work, and which fires ten shots
a second. is something important in
murderous discovery. London Times.

An Anxious Crowd Watch the Returns.

An intense interest has been taken 10y the
citizens of this locality in the Pre- side ntial
election. Although deprived of the privilege
of polling vote in the Indian Territory, our
entcrprising people took steps to secure the
associated press dispatches via Dodge City
and raised a purse for that purpose. The first
news received at nine o'clock election night
by the eXpcctant crowd was that the Demo.
Gratis had carried New York and Indiana and
had elected their candidates. Dispatch after
dispatch followed in close order all in favor
of the Democrats until some little encourage
ment was given by news that the Republicans
precincts were heard from the election seem
ed TO favor the Republicans, while conflicting
reports had the effect of making the result SO
close that nearly ~ tie was expected. At the
present writing the result indicates the Be-
publicans are safe, and as order grows out of
the confusion this result is assured Ii has, as
far as'can be learned by hourly dispatches,
been the closest election ever held between
the two present parties, and so close has II
been that both parties have been unable TO
