THE figures, so far as received by the State

Two more banks have been ruined by their
officers specializing in stocks, margins, mining
claims, etc, one of the wrecked houses being
located at Monmouth, Ill, and the other at
st. Albans VT The people of this country
will yet come to regard this disreputable ''bus-
mess" in its proper light. The gambling is as
marked in all its characteristics as is faro or
draw-poker. In one it is the turning of a
card, in the other the rise or fall Of stocks or
produce that the buyer does not buy, does
not want to buy, and could not buy did he so
desire. The harm done by this wholesale means
of gambling without the fear of being held
accountable by law, can scarcely be estimated
The losses at the gambling tables in the Casino
at Monaco, quoted as fabulous, are not re-
markable at all when compared with the tens
and hundreds of thousands of dollars staked
tations on the Chicago Board of Trade and
New York Stock Exchange. There the ''busi-
ness" is recognized as gambling, and the pro
prietors of the Casino pay immense taxes for
the privilege of gambling. In the United
States the most gigantic kind of gambling is
carried on day after day, Gripping legitimate
business of all kinds, and yet no interference
is attempted. This state of affairs cannot en-
dure. The change cannot come too soon.

The Rev. l.. NJ Ferris of Tiyoli, N. Y,
seems to be of the earth earthly. In secular
affairs he is fully abreast of the age while
in the way of making love he leads by a
good three lengths. He stands charged with
having kept company with a young lady in
Cornwall for more than three years This,
alone, is serious enough, the excessive cruelty
of having to entertain preacher for three
mortal years being quite apparent. They say,
too that the Cornwall maiden had consented to
become his wife, promise probably extorted
in the early days of the courtship Another
young lady at Cold Spring sat up with him
o nights for two years, and promised to become
his helpmeet. Then third victim is found in
No. for Tvoli, with a record of several months
courting," and an engagement. This interesting
record is rounded out by the pastors attentions
to fourth young sister" though with what
prospects of fourth engagement the deponent
sayeth not.

Mr.. IRVING and Miss Terry see no reason why
they should allow Miss Anderson to get ahead of
them in the advertising business There are no
dukes or duchesses in this country, to be sure,
but the English dramatic lights have avoided
this difficulty by the simple expedient of deny

other Nobody seems to have heard the rumor
before the denial came, which shows lack of
familiarity with the proper methods, but this
mistake will doubtless be remedied next time.
For there will probably be next time, the in
formation being artfully disseminated in con
nection with the alleged rumor that the actors
are connubially free, both being divorced. Miss
Terry has had two husbands, we are told, with
one of whom she could not harmonize and the
other of whom could not harmonic with her.

EVEN the Chicago reporter who is not usually
supposed to be lacking in impudence and self-as
surance, could take lessons from his brother of
the Pacific coast One of the latter, who has
been interviewing Patti inregard to her matri-
monial relations, asked that artistic whether she
was really married to Nicolini, and if so, when
and where. On being answered in the afirma-
tive and his curiosity being satisfied on the
point he remarked inquiringly that many peo-

never been divorced from his first wife. AT these

JAMES PAWN, the novelist will become more
popular than ever with readers on this side the
water when they learn that he takes no active
exercise or recreation, but that he habitually
rides in carriage instead of walking, works,
dimes, dozes and sleeps soundly ten hours every
night-every day the same routine-and enjoys
as good health as any one 1t is not an antipa
thy to lawn tennis. horseback riding, or athletic
sport which causes this conduct on the part of
Mr.. Payn to commend him to Americans but
simply the satisfaction to them of learning that
one Englishman exists who is not addicted to
violent physical exercise and of whom, especial
ly it is not told that he walks fabulous num-
Der of miles daily. Americans do not walk and
will not walk long distances except from dire
necessity-even ''tramps" seldom travel on foot
and the continual holding up of the perambu
lating Engshman as a model for imitation is
becoming a national offense.

1T has been generally supposed that English
newspapers are at least respectful, if not fawn-

THE recent publication of structures upon Chi
cago made by Matthew Arnold in letter to the
Pail Mall Journal, is hoax, originated by the
Chicago News to trip the Chicago Tribune
which is in the habit of telegraphing the cable
grams to New York papers, and reprinting them
as its own specials The News had this alleged
Arnold article prepared in its own Office and by
an arrangement with the New York Tribune,
whose specials have suffered from the
piracy, the latter printed it, but not as
cable special and with the credit to
the Pail Mall Journal paper that has no exist
ence. The Chicago Tribune correspondent at
once wired the article, and that paper printed it
as "a cable special" changing the credit to the
Pail Mall Gazette, the well-known newspaper.
The exposure of the trick was made yesterday,
and is supplemented by cable dispatch from
Mr.. Arnold to the effect that he has written no
letter to any paper giving impressions of his
American tour. 1t is a severe piece of journal
istic enterprise all around.
