Scarcely Constitutional.

A very fine specimen of the crudity
which characterizes much current legisla-
tion is furnished in the text of the so-called
law passed by the last legislature against
gambling and lotteries" The Philadel-
phia Times, which has been fervent
crusader in this field ,congratulates the pub
lie that this law is deadly blow at the
last surviving form of gambling allowed
by law; but it fails to point out wherein
the new law relates particularly to any
thing that is of even the form of gamb ling
The new statute has no reference
whatever to schemes of chance, but seems
to forbid the giving OF any prize or token
Of q premium with merchandise sold. ii
it been directed against tickets or memo
randa, emitting the holder to a Chance
ct something Of value, or to lot or part in
some drawing for premiums and prizes, it
might perhaps have been counted as
against gambling or lotteries. But if the
tea store chooses to present piece of glass
ware to every purchaser of certain
amount; or the dry-goods merchant to
give the thread and buttons with the
dress, or the tobacco seller to give a
chrome with every plug, it is doubtful
il the legislature has any power to prohibit
it. Time out Of mind newspaper publish
ers have given premiums to subscribers,
and many kinds of dealers have presented
customers with prizes accompanying GER
tain purchases. 1t is true the thing has
become somewhat of nuisance and an
imposition upon many purchasers, but not
more SO than hundred other forms Of
trade that do not fall within the laws pro-
hibiti0n.
Where no element of chance enters into
the transaction, the power of the legisla-
ture to interfere is very doubtful. We
think the new law is unconstitutional.

A Difficult Surgical Operation Performed
Cincinnati.

A Difficult Surgical Operation Performed at
Cincinnati.
One of the Bengal tigers out at the Zoologi-
cal garden in Cincinnati, Ohio, known to
the keepers as "Dickie," has been suffering
for some time with malformed claw, and on
Friday it was determined to cut it out.
Dckie" is powerful specimen of the most
ferociOus Of beasts and it was a problem for
some time how she was to be handled. II
was determined that the operation should be
witnessed only by the directors and the en-
ployes of the garden and DIR. Zipperlein.
In one of the small compartments OF
the inner tiger cage a low, strong
temporary ceiling had been built Sew
eral pieces OF timber nailed together
firmly, very like cellar door in
appearance, were placed on end in the
compartment, and to these were attached four
ropes reaching outside OF the cage. The tiger
was driven into the compartment, thesliding
door closed, and six stronger men began to
pull on the ropes. This drew the "cellar
door" close to tho iron bars of the cage, with
the tiger, now bowling with rage, wedged
between. She fought terribly, and with an
enormous effort once broke the timbers
Superintendent Stephan, at the risk of losing
an arm, reached into the cage over the writh-
ing, snarling beast, and reiastened the ropes
Finally her right log was caught in moose
and pulled straight out, while she was held
in position by iron bars above, braced In the
timbers back of her. All this time one of the
men held board in her jaws which she
crunched as IL 1t were a cracker. For a time
1t looked as if she would overpower the men
and the operation would prove a failure; but
the keen-eyed superintendent watched his
chance and finally succeeded I'm extracting
with knife and heavy pair of pincers the
offending claw, and the fighting, growing
beast was released. Director HarDer carried
tho claw away as relic.i

Thos6sxho knew only with what fidelity,

Those who appreciate the delicate condi-

how his strength was taxed by the burden
some duties of one of the most laborious
offices in the government, will be glad to
learn that he is relieved of all work and

His successor is spoken of by those who

the fire alarm system under the management
of the new chief engineer. 1t did not work
well during the Fourth of July season when
of ali times it should have been in good work
ing order. An alarm that msleads is worse
than no alarm. Under Chief Howell the
system was kept in efficient condition by his
own supervision; Chief Vondersmith, with
the aid of an electrician, whom the city is en-
pected TO pay, does not seem to be able to
keep the thing working reliably. A disci-
pline, too, that permits the engine horses to
walk out of the stable and canter over the
town before being hitched to the apparatus
is loose and inadequate. Chief Vondersmitl
must reform his office or be reformed ou,
of it.
