vhite men were wanted to do this work!
We believe the order could be filled
within a week. Such laborers would
probably buy large number of build
ing lots, and thus help to swell the popu-
lation and taxable wealth Of TIE town.
All the money paid to Chinese is so
much loss, so far as town building goes.
1t would not be bad idea to publish to

ENFORCING THE LOTTERY LAW.

The vigilant authorities nave caused the
arrest of DR.. JEREMIAH CouaHLIN, the Chair
man of the Anti Poverty Society. for viola
ton of the Lottery Law. AS an antidote for
poverty, the managers of the fair have been
selling chances for prizes in drawings, among
the coveted articles being O bust of DIR. Nc
GLYNN. This is an offense in the eye of tho
Jaw, and the police last night captured DIR.
CoUoHLIN and carried him off to the station.
OF course. The EVENING WORLD is in
favor of enforcing the AVS against lotteries.
Indeed, we gave evidence of our opposition
to this species of gambling a few weeks
ago, when at great trouble and some ex-
'pense our shrewd and intelligent reporters
obtained legal proof against q number of vile
policy shops in the city, where young men
and boys invest their employers money.
and re caused the arrest and trial
of their proprietors. Thu result was hat the
lpolicy-dealers were fined q trifing amount
and turned loose on the community TO renew
their lawless and ~swindling occupation.
since then, BEDELL the forger has been
found TO have squandered more than
$1p0,Oo0 Of the money he stole in q lottery
policy establishment. But the games 60 on
rs cheerily and as defiantly as ever.
We would just offer the suggestion that it
might be better if the authorities would stop
some of these thievish lottery policy shops
and arrest their proprietors instead Of
obtaining evidence against the Anti Poverty
Fair people and capturing their Chairman.
The Society holding the fair wants to stop
poverty. The lottery policy dealers promote
not only poverty but crime.

No Failure Here.

To me Eat or Of 7Ae Eventna World:
lis marriage o failure 2" Politically and
individually we say no! emphatically, 40!
In many homes it is q failure. and too often,
we believe, the wife is at fault.
She has married, perhaps, without love.
from the fear of being an "old maid," or
some other reason, and not thinking of the
responsibility or what marriage means.
Then, too, too many wives forget that when
the husband comes home, perhaps late for
dinner. a irown, a cool greeting or an IN
kind word will send hira out again for the
evening TO the club or some other place of
amusement. when a loving greeting and
smiling, cheerful wife would keep Mn at
home.
They forget the difference in the counting
DAYS, even if he called late.
My husband was " one of the boys I" and
something of a sporting man before we mar
ried. Since then he has never gone ont of
an evening for pleasure without me. If he
goes on business. which is seldom, I know
where and what for. though 1 never pry into
his affairs nor he into mine. We have each
others confidence and are very happy. II
every husband and wife would strive more
for each others happiness there would not
be SO many to cry that marriage is a fail

THEATRICAL STARS.

A proposition has been made to E.. BERRY
WALL, whom it has become the fashion to
style the King of the Dudes. to adopt the
theatrical profession. The enterprising in
diyidual into whose brain the idea first pene-
trated failed to see why, if clothes make an
actress on the modern stage, they should not
also make an actor, He knew that his pro-
posed star is in possession of an extensive and
varied wardrobe, and he did not think it
necessary to inquire any further.
OF course, it is preposterous to suppose
that o grotesquely and ~ridiculously over
dressed man could prove as attractive as q
well-dressed and Sgraceful woman. The
attire of q dude on the stage would scarcely
supply the place Of brains, while a WORTH
lco8tume, perfect in material and design, has
been known to do 30 very successfully.
Besides, the mimic dude on the boards,
p~orsonated by q young woman, is q thousand
tirues more attractive than oil the male dudes
in existence and not o twentieth part as
silly.
lt 10 said that Mr.. E. BERRY WALL has de-
cltned to elevate the stage by accepting the
ofbsr to appeara as q star actor. Yet, after all,
he might have been a ~pecuniary success.

A whoop for BacheIorhood.

To ne Editor Of The EVentno World:
Is bachelorhood q success? Well, 1 should
say it was. A single man has every advantage
in the world over his married brother. He
can do pretty much as he wants togo and
come where and when he likes without being
compelled to give q detailed account of his
actions on his return home.
He can accompany q different young lady
to the theatre six times q week, if he is SO in
clined, and have q reserve of one or two
others to take to Sunday school excursions.
His annual supply of slippers. smoking
jackets. &C.. would go q great way towards
furnishing a small store; and if his landlady
happens to have one or more unmarried
forts that mortal man can wish for. He can
sit in his room, smoke a pipe and read with
out being bothered with the cheerful infor-
nation that the coal is all out. or that Sarah
needs a new pair of shoes and George must
have a new suit of clothes before he can go
to church.
It's all very nice, Mr.. Editor. to talk about

threshold of your door" and it looks we'll in

THE JUDGES DIGNIFIHD REPORT.
To the Editor If The Ersntno World.
l regret very much that several weeks ILL
ness on my part and in fact all through my
entire system here up to this moment pre-
vented a decision and award in the Joke
Contest. Even to-day I am only able to sit
up hhu VAC bohlO VI liz hlluGT JOhtbs
Little did I dream, when I agreed to UNI
pire this match, that over five thousand Jokes
would come pouring in. But they did.
People who had not joked for seventy-fve
years sat up in bed and wrote something for
the contest. Young people neglected their
teething in order 60 compose jokes. An
tiquarians came forward with rare things
they had found at Herculaneum and lying
around in the waste-paper baskets of the
mound-builders.
But many of the good jokes were not origi-
nal and many of the original jokes were not
good.
Some got in after the contest had closed.
One good one, at least, was longer than the
rules would permit, and some would not do
to print, being what may be termed smoking
car jokes.
All this goes to show that agood, pure joke
that is brand-new, is much easier to read than it
is to write. Good jokes are born, not made and
this contest has proved to the average sceptic
that some people don't think it hurts o joke
to be born again a few times.
In conclusion, however, and ~apologizing
again for the delay in the verdict, a delay not
in any way chargeable to the paper. but
rather to the illness of the jury, 1 will say
that. considering all the conditions of the
contest, l have decided to award the $25 to
Raymond L. Kidder. of 206 East Eighteenth
street, a young man nine years of age.
Further correspondence regarding the joke
contest is not solicited. Yours truly.

A small elderly man was examining some
fruit at a corner-stand on Sixth avenue one
afternoon. He had with him q forlorn little,
hairy cur, with q rudiment of a tail. The
dog was fastened to IA string, which the
owner held in one hand while he paved over
the pears and peaches with the other.
Two very diminutive kids came along Just
then, a small boy, not more than five years
old, and his sister, who had not more than
topped four.
They stopped behind the mans back and
the tiny girl put her hand on the dog, who
tried to shrink into his tail and seemed
frightened to death.
pity doggy !" said the little girl, trying
to stroke the canine. But the dog was too
terrorized to stand and accept her caresses.
He walked round himself, or tried to. scared
to death.
The owner attention became attracted at
his moment, and suddenly standing up Mt
his full height, he glowered on the diminu-
tive children, who were u little smaller than
he, and said peevishly Go away! That
dog will bite you !"
The children stared at him and then at the
quivering little brute aud ambled of without
showing the least alarm.
