John II. Wilmot who was arrested by De-
tcctives Raff and Block few days since for
keeping gambling saloon at SOC Ninth street,
was tried in the police court yesterday. The
defense was that the thirteen gentlemen found
in the room playing poker were members of
the National club u regularly organized body
and that they paid dues, but no percentage or
other money to Wilmot, except rent. The tes-
timony developed the fact that there was no
basis Of organization in the way of constitu-
ton, bylaws or even elected officers, and that
each player paid 81 for every night he visited
the place beside buying any refreshments he
might desire during the evening. Wilmot
claimed that the dollar was to pay for the
cards. Jadgc smell decided that clear case
had been made ont against the defendant, and
fined him SlUO putkcOsks %

Maj. Halncs has presented his report to the
chief of engineers of the progress made OIL the
river front during June lie states that the
work of removing the rock from the George
town harbor progresses slowly. The ircShct
during the month caused some delay. and the
rock is very hard. A Upper dredge has been
put to work TO remove the small pieces of rock
after blasting The two groups of rock upon
which work Is now being done will be removed
during the present month. The dredging IN
the channel was hindcrcd by the strong cur
rent, but the lower channel Is completed.
During the month 1910 cubic .ydrds of mud
were removed from the channel and deposited
on the fats. The contract with Sanford "
Ross will probably be completed In SIX weeks
The enhancement hps also progressed slowly,
as the material below six feet is too hard for
the light dredge. The Potomac Red Sandstone
company delivered 7G3 cubic yards for the
slope walls. TFiity lincal feet of the embank-
mcnt waSpavcd and ld,6OS cubic yards of ma
tcrial was deposited on the cmbankment by f..

have been bordering over this saying

To be in the very van of fashion needs
a certain devotion to onc's own looks,
setting up of ones own appearance
as a sort of fetish, that must before
long take much of the real niceness out
of one. 1t is not as though one could
hand all that sort of thing over to ones

thoughts and attention must be absorb

trouble necessary to ascertain precisely

The Cure For Intemperance.

But the great and only real cure for
intemperance is the steady elevation
OF the whole community. To keep men
from drinking you must give them
something else to do--supply them
with better amusements, with enter
tainments of higher order. You can
not expect poor, Woodworking men to
live without amusement. Rich people
must have their amusements, their
theaters, balls, clubs, drives, yachts.
You cannot require working people to
do without some sort of recreation, A
total-abstinence lecture will not ALWAYS
attract them, nor will scientific lect
ure usually be enough. Therefore we
must furnish them with every kind OF
innocent recreation possible-public
garden and common and music and
fireworks IN the Summer; libraries and
reading-rooms, and as much more as
can be added. | am glad of all cheap,
popular entertainments, Summer gar
dens and museums. / wish some rich
man would endow geological garden
in Boston. / wish our theaters might
have good and entertaining plays acted
and then be opened more freely to the
poor, for | am satisfied that you can
never expel a low taste but by furnish
ing something a little higher. james
