sTRAINING At A GNAT.

A moral mania has struck the city Of
Brooklyn. The other day two individuals
convicted of pool selling at horse race were
not only smuIcted in heavy fines but were
sentenced by the court to three months i'm
prisonment in the Kings county peniten-
tiary. One of the victims Of this severe adj
ministration of the law was PHILIP BAUER,
the proprietor of a respectable Coney Island
hotel. 1t is true the law should be no res
pecter of persons and the fact of Mr.. BAUER's
respectable social conditions would not emit
tie him to exemption from any penalty that
Would be imposed upon person in lower
stage of life 1t is the severity of the SEN
'tence which will excite surprise.
Whether a man commits sin when he
stakes dollar upon his judgment. OF the
good points of horse, as attested by his per-
Torrance in race, is matter entirely be-
tween him and his conscience. The race
course is in some respects like the theater.
To the great majority of intelligent beings it
affords innocent entertainment and more or
less instruction, by others it is regarded
as the vestibule of pandemonium. In deal
ing with the race course sensitive people
adopt the same rule they observe toward the
theater. They shun it. Consequently they
are not made victims of a nuisance. To
nobody who attends the race track does the
sale of pools cause annoyance, scandal or
injury-except the avaricious knave who,
when he loses, tries to compel the bookseller
to refund under penalty of being arrested
for violation of law. The essence of gamb-
ling as an offense is not present any more
than in the game Of poker in the club room
or private parlor, in the church fair, rattle, or
in any game of chance which does not inter-
fere with the rights of some other people.
The strict Interpreters of law in the Brook
lyn courts might as well enforce the law
which regulates the observance of the Sab
bath to the extreme of making the delivery
of food on the Sabbath day an offense.

L,rfng a. the Age of 1913 Years.
From the Albany Argus


Mrs. Relief Burt Bodman OF Theresa, JEFF
ersouI county, was 1O3 years old on Sunday,
Wzshiugton's birthday. She vas born on
Friday, Feb. %, 1882, the same year that
Daniel Webster, John c. Calhoun and Mar
tin Van Buren, were born. Among those
who ike herself first saw light on the pro-
verbally unIucky day are Napoleon Bona
parte, George Washington, President Taylor,
Edward Everett, Thomas Carlisle, George
Bancroft, President Pierce, Longfellox,
Dickens aud Stephen A. Douglas. Mrs. Bod
man, though blind, Is yet tolerably well pre-
served physically and mentally. She was
born only six years after the Declaration Of
Independence, and had reached woman
hood bsfOre the first steamer had crossed the
Atlantic, before The steam press was used,
St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1885-03-12

and before the telegraph was known. She
was almost an old woman when Bonaparte
died at st. Helena. On her centennial birth
day her nephew, Senator S. G. Pomeroy OF
Kansas, delivered an grafton. But one other
person at that time was recalled VINO was
born In 1882. That was Rev. DR.. Parmalee
OF oswego, who died year or two ago. He
had preached 10000 sermons, on salary
never greater than $3.50 year.

4 W0M4N OF HEROIC PLUCK AND
FIDELITY

There are heroines in this life as well rs
heroes. And BECKY JoSEs is one of them.
That she is plucky woman is conceded by
everybody. To the public her conduct wears
the aspect of eccentrieity, or is looked upon
as the result Of a mania. The offense for
which she has undergone a long imprisou-
ment in the Ludlow street jail was refusal
to answer certain questions before the surro-
gate in the HAMNERsLY will case. It is the
only case known to Anglo-Saxon law in
which there is no appeal, and the sentence
Of Imprisonment eau be made indefinite.
BECKY JOKES, it viii be remembered. was
servant girl, and she refused to answer the
questions Of the court because in doing so
she felt that she would be betraying a do
nestle secret Of the family she served aud
would exhibit on her part disloyzlty and
meanuess. She was given the alternative of
answering the questions or going to Jail for
contempt OF court. She went to jail. aud month
after month has gone by and BECKY JOKES
remains faithful 70 duty and loyal to her
sense of honor. She has resoluteIy held her
tongue aud viii not tel the secrets of the
family With whom she lived A prison cell
has not disturbed her convictions. All the
pressure OF the law, all the terror Of
incarceration, all the eaiolement OF couu-
sci and all the threats % enemies cannot
swerve her from the simple duty she owes to
silence. She lies helpless but resolute in Jail.
Was ever such frmucss and loyalty seen on
earthl There is no case like it, and had her
experience been told in fiction II would wear
the Galo OF heroism.
Il Is gratifying 70 know thss her heroic
conduct hiss enlisted the sympathy of GOOD
people in the metropolis, who have al last in
tcrested themselves in her behalf. She de-
serves al the freedom this earth can give,
aud The story Of her heroic silence should oe
Transmitted to future generations for the
benefit q people who talk TOO much

WAYS TINT Ire DARK And TRICKS
THAT IRE YIN

THAT ARE v HIN.
For scheming and wire-pulling generally
commend us to SABIN and KINDRED. These
slick ones can accomplish by indirect what
they cannot by direct methods. In return
for services rendered by KINDRED in graft
flying the senatorial ambition of SABIN in
rounding up the members of the Fifth dis
trict on the final ballot for United States SEN
ator, SABIN undertook to have KINDRED's
man KENDALL appointed register of the land
Office for the Duluth district. NELSON,
the congressman from that district as
the dispenser of patronage for the
same, opposed the KENDALL appoint
ment. Then SABIN and KINDRED agi-
tated a scheme to remove the Office from Du-
luth to Brainerd, and as compromise urged
the appointment of G. G. HARTLEY of Brain
erd to the office. NELSON and his satellites
accepted this with the best grace they could
command, and ARTHUR appointed HARTLEY.
Now HARTLEY proposes to qualify and yet
decline to accept the active duties of
the office, and will appoint KENDALL
to discharge the duties of the
office. This is very shrewd
scheme for accomplishing by indirection
what could not be done by the direct method.
But the net result will be that a Democrat
will be appointed to the office. Just how
soon this end will be attained doesn't appear
Clear but that it will be the legitimate con-
clusion of the plot cannot be doubted by any
body who has studied political economy.
