Suppression of Gambling.

A number of prominent ladies of Chi
cago have formed an association and have
hired lawyer to prose cute the gamblers
of that city under the State law. Work
was begun Thursday with the arrest of
John Morris proprietor of gambling
house on Clark Greet. The attorney for
the ladies says there is every reason to be
leve the gamblers will very soon become
frightened. The Stag law against gam
blisg is very severe. 1t provides that a
person convicted the first time of the of
Tense of running gambling house, or rent
ing property to be occupied by gambling
house, snail be fined 800, and that on the
second conviction the fine shall not be less
than $500 and the additional penalty of
six months in the county Jail, and on the
third conviction the penalty shall be $4,000
fine and one year in the penitentiary. The
ladies whose names, except that of Mrs.
Van Ardet, are not made public, intend to
push the cases to the fullest extent of the
law. They are taking steps to convict,
rot only the gamblers themselves, but the
men who own the buildings where gamb-
ling houses are run.-Inter- Ocean.

The Advancing South.

The progress of the South has never
been more generally discussed than during
this period. 1t no longer holds "its light
under a buslel but has forced itself upon
the attention of the whole world The
extent and character of he advance made
each year is now we'll known. No longer
wild guesses and estimates are needed.
We are able to say exactly the production
of iron, coal, lumber, etc, at what cost
they are produced, snd how much is
shipped abroad and to the North The
journals IF that section now give time and
space to Southern development and the
capitalists aud investors come down here
to place their capital.
AS we have already said, the industrial
situation of the South has been more gen
orally and extensively discussed during
the year than ever before. especially its
production of iron, lumber and cotton.
The result of the iron discussion, in
which the Pennsylvania and New Eng
land papers joined, was frank admission
on their part that the North cannot pro-
duce iron as cbeaply as the special advan-
tages of the South allow it to do. TIE
answer to the cotton mill discussion is
given in the phenomenal prosperity of the
Southern mills, in the large increase in
their number and spindles, and in the
transfer here Of several Northern factories
and as for lumber, the millions of acres of
Southern woodlands purchased by mill
men from Michigan, Illinois and other
States, show that in the eyes OF these men,
the South is destined to become the most
important lumber manufacturing section
of the Union. -Sunnv South.

Minister Ryan who arrived from the
City of Mexico ia leave of absence ex
tending over SIX weeks, but he is not ex-
actly on vacation. For some time past
there have been questions involving the
principles of reciprocity existing between
the two republics, and the idea seems to
have them fixed up now before they as
sumo serious proportions. Minister RYAN
will not discuss the Sc matters until be has
had full consultation with the President.
the State Department and the Treasury
Department, out II is known that his pres.
ence in Washington is in that connection
The matter of most particular interest is
the recent action of The United SEa e. gov
eminent with regard to Mexican lead ores
The Mexican government, in retaliation
for this action, has imposed high duties on
American live animals and fresh beef The
result CT these two measures has been IN
quesEonably damaging to the trade be-
tween the two countries. Minister Ryan
admits shat he has views to advance and
official information to inpart on these
questions, but he deems it best not to talk
for publication. He is still wondering
how bis letter on the subject to the State
Department got into print, for it's publlica.
ton has caused him considerable annoy
ance. Minister Ryan states that the shin.
ment OF silver -s ses bearing ore into the
Onlted States from Mexico has practically
eased Five thousand tons of ore were
passed through Ell Paso in August, and
were admitted free of duty because the
shipments were IN hGnS5tu at the time the
Treasury took action in the matter. AS
result of the instructions of the Treasury
Department to the customs collectors
along the Mexican border ordering sus-
pension of the free entry of silver lead
bearing ores, the Mexican mine owners
and ore producers have been forced to
close down and American commerce in this
article has been checked. Minister Ryan
believes it is impossible for this industry
to thrive in Mexico under the present con.
ditions if duty is imposed on the lead for
the reason that transportation to the Amer
can market is too costly. If the depart
ment maintains the proposed ruling and
continues the collection of duty, the Mex
leans will be compelled to erect smelters
within their own country and ship the
product to Europe, or else export the ore
direct to the European smelters. There
are many features of the matter to be con-
sidered before definite conclusion can be
reached, and Minister Ryan is not prepared
to indicate what he may recommend. He
has studied the Mexican side of the ques.
ton and is familiar with the American
side. 1t is possible that he may be able
to give the treasury officials considerable
of value that hey do not now
possess, and that sfter Minister Ryan's
views are presented final and wise action
may be reached.

CLINTON, La, Sept 25 1889.
Hon. L. s. Adams, President Farmers
Alliance, State of Louisiana: Dear Sir
In answer to your question: Whether the
buying cotton under the rule. adopted by
the different cotton exchanges, acting with
the presidents of several State alliances,
OF tare of is pounds for cotton wrapped
in cotton bagging, and "a pounds tare on
cotton wrapped in jute bagging, is viola
ton of act No. 81 of the general assembly
of Louisiana of the year 1888, would re-
ply by quoting art. 20 of the constitution
of Louisiana:
Art. 29.-Eyery law enacted by the gen
eral assembly shall embrace but one OBJ
ject, and that shall be expressed in the
title.
The title to act 81 of 1888 is as follows ::
"To prohibit the deduction of two
pounds, or any number of pounds, known
as scalage, from the weight Of cotton, and
provide q penalty therefor"
What is denominated as ''scalage" in
the above title was an arbitrary deduction
from the weight of the bale bought, and
not intended to cover the weight of any
bag or other thing covering the cotton.
"Scalage" is not Synonymous with the
word tare. Tare is the rightful deduction,
agreed upon by the buyer and the seller to
cover the weight or measure of the 'scask,
bag or other covering that contains the
merchandise sold, and is just and proper,
ard as universal as trade itself. "Scalage,"
as practiced in the buying of cotton. was
the arbitrary, unjust and capricious de-
duction of weight, without reason or
fairness.
| do not think buying cotton under the
rule of tare above referred to is violation
of law. Very truly yours,
JNo. "a. STONE. District Attorney.

A WoMANIs ADVICE.
She Tells Her Sisters How to Fascinate
Their Husbands,

She Tells Her Sisters How to Fascinate
Their Husbands.
Many women lose the love of their hus-
bands because they are too ignorant or too
Indifferent to keep it, observes a female
writer in the Louisville Courier-Journal.
Ask any of your friends how they captured
their other half, and they will tell you frank
ly: 81 don't know.' A mans heart is en-
shared by pretty hand, nice teeth a round
low voice, frank eyes, beautiful hair; by
the way girl walks, talks, plays, rides,
puns; by her gifts, her smiles, her amiabil-
ity, good taste, generosity, or the very man
ner in which she greets, fascinates or abuses
him. She may not know how she won him,
but if she doesn't know how to keep him, the
best thing for her to do is to find out There
are many things we know by intuition; the
rest have to be learned by experience. Con
scious of her abilities and liabilities as
wife. wise woman will learn how to keep
a husband just as she learns how to keep
house, to make chicken croquettes, choco-
late cream, bread, beds or lemonade, and II
she doesn't, why, some siren will for all
time relieve her of the trouble. Men like to
preach down extravaganza, and style, and
dress; bat the woman who bangs her hair,
hides a b. otch or scar under piece of court
plaster, who wants pretty gloves and stock
ings, trim slippers, perfumes, balms,
cold creams, finger curls and fancy notions
to increase her charms, is the woman
who is admired by them all. Common
sense and ugliness may be morally whole
some, but they're not alluring, and art IS
apt to triumph over nature unadorned II
man is fond of flattery, let him have it.
If he has ambitions or schemes, listen tc
him with open eyes of wonder, and, no
matter what the occasion is, never permit
your knowledge to exceed his. Men despise
smart women, but have no fault to find
when her talent is large enough to appre-
ciate his greatness. Men like to be looked
up at, depended on, quoted and referred to.
An ugly temper is trial that few women
are able to endure. The only cure is 81
lence. You can't kiss furious man; II
only makes him worse. The thing to do is
to keep still, let him cool, and let the mat
ter drop. He will respect your sense and
come to terms of his own accord. To be
born a woman is to be born martyr, but
the husband that is worth wedding is worth
keeping; and if a little artifce, pleasant
smile, contented heart, forbearance, de
votion and tact will hold him, by all means
let him be held. Men must be taken as
they are, not as they should be; they i'm
prove under the refining influence OF mu
tual interest and love, and he is very
wretched specimen of humanity who car

the buffets of the world and be an anchor
for her when youth and beauty have proved

sNAlLs AS FOOD.
Where the Molluscs Are Considered q
Delicious Article of Diet.

Delicious Article of Diet.
A Wiltshire correspondent writes us in
some amazement, says the London Stand
ard, that only last week he found a man
searching for snails, not as geological speci-
mems, but as articles of food. Still more
extraordinary, he actually praised them.
Simply roasted on the bars of the CRATE and
eaten with pepper and vinegar they are de-
clared to be toothsome. Soaked in salt and
water and then cooked and served after the
fashion of whelks and periwinkles they are
still better. In winter the land shells, like
snails, are alternating in holes, under
leaves, and in the hollows of trees. As all
the species in a torpid state lay on a load of
tat before retiring for the winter, the snail
seeker, though possibly he did not quite
understand the reason why, was of the
opinion that it was only at this period of the
year that the moluscs are fit for human
consumption. Here, most likely, he was
wrong. But at all events, in supping freely
on such dainty bits, the Wiltshire gourmet
has proved himself great deal more sensi-
BILE than many people who may be inclined
to call him hard names, and then proceed to
swallow dozen raw oysters and piece of
cheese so swarming with parasites that if
the latter were unanimous it would walk off
the table.
Wiltshire is, however, not singular in
possessing man above the prejudices of
his neighbors. In several parts of England
snails are regularly eaten-not, it is true,
as an ordinary article of diet, but at stated
feasts. For instance, the Newcastle glass
men were famous for their taste in that di-
rection. Every year they held a sort of
gastronomic festival, at which snails fig
ufed as the principal dish. Whether the
custom has since fallen into decay is a ques-
ton on which, no doubt, local information is
to be had. azes
But we believe that the iron-puddlers in
some parts of the Black country are wise
enough to still indulge IN the same dainty,
and it is by no means uncommon to hear of
snails boiled in milk being prescribed, like
the viper broth of Carolinean times, for pa
tients far gone in consumption 1t is less
agreeable to know that at one time they
were employed in the manufacture of imi-
tation cream and that in spite of ANALYSTS
and acts of Parliament they are even yet
bruised and stewed in milk to form one of
the tolerably palatable articles which pass
under that name.
In the neighborhood of Dixon a small
farmer has been known to clear 81, 500 per
annum from snails, the vine-growers keep
ing them in dry cellars or ia trenches under
coverings of leaves and earth, and from
certain ''escargotieres" near Ulm, in Wur-
temberg, no fewer than 10000 600
of the vineyard snails are sent every
year to other gardens to be fat
tened before they are dispatched for
the use of the Austrian converts during
lent. From Troyes it has been calculated
that snails to the value of S1OO,OOO-the
wholesale price being As per 1OO-are for
warded to the Paris markets. Packed in
casks they are also exported in small way
10 the United States.
