THEY NEVER REFORM.

e He never heard Of a gambler reforming.
It was no uncommon thingfor a drunkard
to tie on the blue ribbon and reform, but

THE PROFESSIONAL GAMBLER.

He pictured professional gambler
parading the streets or standing on cor
ner, with clothes OF the finest fabric, silk
hat, patent leather boots, diamond pin and
pipe stem cane, winking and blinking at
the crime that stalks the streets paradtng
their wares in open violation Of all law
and decency, and watching an opportunity
to get some unsophiscated youth who
might have q few dollars about his person
into some garrett room or furnished cellar.
He said he hoped the officers would
awaken to a sense Of their duty and move
these Questionable characters as they do
in Canada. fla man was found lounging
around there without anyvisible means OF
support he was requested to. Skip" as
they had no use outside the "jug" for peo-
pie who earned their bread except by tho
sweat OF their brow. The soul OF the gam.
bier with its immortal wealth ofprecious-
ness has been sold for naught. 4.
For the Mayor to move in this matter
now, with his interiors arrayed against
him, without your moral support and en-
couragement would amount 10 no more
than the old Negro who tried to'blow di-
yinity into the nostrils Of glandered
horse, claiming that an evil spirit had
taken possession Of the horse. In refer.
ring To the twin evil Of gambling he said
he would rather see q woman bare her
shapely arms and shovel coal and mud on
the streets than make her liyingin ques-
tionable manner. "And we are informed
that the city Is full OF this" Common de-
ceRcy forbade him speaking further on
this subject, but enough oft was being
told In the papcrs every day to prompt
the public TO take the matter In their own
hands

The Ohio Valley Trades Assembly, re-
Gently organized, met yesterday at Labor
Hall, in this city. The meeting was large
~ attended. The next session will be
held at Bellaire next Sunday afternoon in
the Knights Of Labor HILL.
The delegates were very non-communi-
catiye last evening, butt was learned that
the report that steel nails were being used
in building the Eighth ward roller skating
rink was ment oned, and causedsome dis
cussion. Finally committee was APP
pointed to investigate the truth Of the re-
port, and also to ascertain, II the report
should prove to be true, whether the
owners Of the rink are responsible for 1t.
Itso, it is understood boycotting will be
ordered.

IN stti Opera Company.
A fair sized audience assembled al the

Joint production Of w. Parlse and Harry

+ Zelda Segaia, as GiFola, was all that
could have been wished, rendering the
different numbers assigned that character
In a highly artistic manner, nd,being es-
lpecially effective in the singing OF the
arias, fisk Months Ago. tismy Duty
and last but not least, in the tandango,
ANITA Is Sac, !" which was received with
enthusiastic applause and an encore de-
handed. Hertine method and intelligent
manner OF phrasing always serves TO make
her singing thoroughly enjoyable and ar
ytistic from a musical standpoint Aword,
by way OF suggestion here, would prob
ably not be out Of place to some Of the
resident yocalists of this city: Should
they try TO take example from her distinct
ennpciation OF each word, noticeable in
all the music sung by her, they would be
more pleasing in their vocal efforts and
merit praise, where adverse criticism is
now received.
1t is safe to say that Mrs. seguin:W VAL
lace will always receive hearty welcome,
whenever she may favor Wheeling people
by her re.appearance before them.
Mr.. Thomas Christy, in the character Of
DIN Luis, was more conscientious in his
singing and, did not force his tones TO the
extent that was noticed the evening pre-
vious. In the duette between Girola and
Don Luis, he shared the honors with Miss
seguin and they were both heartily en-
cored, as they richly deserved.
Mr.. ,GeorgeW. Denham as DromeE. the
village miller, was simply immense, his
abilities as a comedian being given free
scope for the delineation Of that character,
and he succeeded in keeping the house in
a roar at his every appearance on the
stage. He does not lay anyclaim to vocal
ability; therefore, is not open 10 criticism
on that point. His,singing OF s.Woman,
Woman, Lovely Woman was received
with loud applause and rehearing de-
lnanded.
The other characters were Of minor
nature, but were well filled, in what little
was allotted them. The choruses were
well given, notably the closing one in act
second.
The orchestra played very much better
than at the previous performances, the
strings being in perfect accord with the
other instruments, and on the whole re.
deemed themselves and resained the good
opinion OF those who are their friends.
