OF the new game in Louisville will not b
embarrassing:

supposed to be a pretty, inoffensive, pleas
ing game turns out a very demon in dis
guise. One season of progressive euchre"
in Louisville has caused feeling so bitter as
to ~extinguish the wsrmest private sfec
lions. 1t has arraysd against each
other members Of the same family
and broken up friendships that the wear
and tear of many years Of closest in
timacy had not been able to effect. Count.
less have been the disagreements-aye,
EVEN open quarrels, produced by this erst,
while harmless game, and not among the
plebeian class, but in that inner circle Of
society, the ultra-eXclusives, who seem to
find it impossible to remember Hoyle's last
and greatest rule-"to lose without a muir
mur and win without triumph" One
Progressive Euchre' Club, composed Of
the aite, lost member after member,
who resigned because some other
member revoked" "played out Of
turn wouldn't change partners when
the time came" threw off the game"
"trumped a partners ace or committed
some other euchre sin too aggravating to be
-- ill., - ILL.,.
until scarcely a playing quorum remained
in the club. At one of the l~oveliest and
most hospitable of Louisville's homes the
other night a game caused what would be a
most laughable, if it was not so deplorsble,
misunderstanding. THE discussion waxed
warm as to who was entitled to the prize.
until finally a man who has occupied the
chief seat in Kentucky's highest tribunal
grew so indignant that he called bis wife,
and they left the house in bitter anger"

Republicans, on the gambling question. l
have nothing to say; simply because place
but little reliance upon such Influences as
means Of moral reform. Send q question
of moral reform into the hands of political
agencies and you might as wei send it 10
The Old Scratch at once. The question OF
responsibility being settled, or the parties
having exhausted themselye. you will soon
hear nothing more about gambling" or

Ishall be glad to End, however, that
either the Mayor or Chief, or both, are in

themselves supported by the better class of
our citizens. But until they can give some
satisfactory evidence Of their intention to

institutions and abandon the political as.

command public confidence. The public
desire to be assured that the Mayor or Chief
Of Police really intend to act in harmony,
and do something in this matter. But how
are they to effect anything if they go 10
work to break each others heads at the out
set.
But, as matters now are, if these officers
can effect nothing of themselves, perhaps
the public could step in, just at the crisis,
and help them through. Some good may
grow out of the agitation of the question.
The people have got q peep behind the
scenes. Let them follow up this clue, and
no one can tell what might be done. 1.-THE

of the grosser forms Of gambling which
are now so prevalent, have their origin in
these seemingly unsupported sources. If
the citizens of Wheeling really desire to get
rid of gambling, with all Its terrible conse'
uuences, they must take hold oft, in all its
proteau forms, with a firm hand, and hold on
until they have Straugled the monster
which now seems TO be preying upon the
very vitals Of our community. They must
visit the Kinks, the boat races, the political
clubs, the hotels, and last, though
not least, the fair grounds. They
must get under the grand stand and see
what Is done there. 1t is useless to attempt
to suppress gambling, if it be tolerated in

An Epitome OF the Local News OF fester-
days Issue.
Following is a condensation Of the news
in the local columns of the SUNDAY REG
lister:
Number of spicy interviews on the pend
ing conflict between the Chief of Police and
Mayor; the Inteligencer's assertion that a
prominent Democrat had stopped this paper
disproved; the Chief of Police thoroughly
honest and capable; the Intelligencer
quotes gamblers with IMMUNITY, but a few
words from Mr.. Healy, in the REGISTER, are
insulting" the lntelligencer contradictory,
in that it howls for the suppression of gam
bling in one breath, and alleges none is
going on in the next; specimen bricks in
the shape OF special kilograms culled from
foreign papers; the gambling in Louisville;
public opinion in the shape of communica-
tons from misunderstanding old
pastimes; the crack checker and chess
players of Wheeling, and their peculi arities.
The temperance experience meeting at
the First Baptist church; three hundred peo-
pie present-Supreme Court of Appeals
eleven cases decided; ex-Superiutendent Of
Schools Butcher admitted to Practice
Chats about town; interesting conversation

the recently appointed Commissioner Of In
terpal Revenue, whose familiar face we
present above, paid a flying visit to our city
yesterday morning, to remain a few hours
with his family and greet his hest Of friends.
He left Washington City between nine and
ten o'clock Saturday evening, arriving here
at II o'clock yesterday morning, and dur
ing the afternoon was visited BY a large
number of prominent citizens, who, with.
out distinction Of party, congratulated him
upon his appointment, and wished him
every success. At FIVE o'clock last even
ing Mr.. Miller returned East, his hurried
departure being unavoidable, in view Of the
fact that nine o'clock this morning had
been arranged as the hour when he would
be tarmalIy presented to his subordinates in
the Internal Revenue Bureau. he will re-
turn to Wheeling, however, about Friday or
Saturday, remaing several days.

at Home.

The politeness-books say that people
ought TO be even more polite in their own
homes thau in those of other people. One
reason why 80 many people are cross aud
Grabbed at home is, that the food they eat
is badly cooked, and therefore indigestible.
So with each meal they lay in a stock Of
dyspepsia, which makes them 30 savage
that they have no chance to be polite. Try
Browns Iron Bitters, and be happy. Mr..
Joseph Lampkin, Selma, Ala, says: IL
have been entirely cured of dyspepsia BY
using Browns Iron Bitters."

play writer makes the latter go, that
it transformed him into 9 new

Lennox. Nor did the benefits stop here;
there were four other gentlemen who thus
were made aware of their drifting condition
and who turned from the error Of their
ways. This actual experience is what is
here rendered as speaking for the morals of
the play. As originally produced there was

in the year 1904, it being eightyone years

Mr.. Bays has had this coin more than a

have been made, and that Mr.. Bays will get
