The TOWNS PHOTOGRAPH.
Everybody in Northern Texas knows
Adolph Zadck OF Corsicana. Zadek was
n sutler in the Union army during the war,
and became bowling patriot In Texas
after the war. For q number of years he
was postmaster at Corsicana, and during the
last Congressional campaign, in the Ninth
Texas District, he was chief bottle.holder
for Jones of the Waco Home Market Club,
who made n futile race against Roger Q.
Mills. A. Zadek turned up here about In
auguration time, with n petition in his
pocket praying for his appointment to the
Consulate at Hamburg He has been In
dustriously drumming for the place ever
since Zadek has faculty for putting
his foot in II, so TO speak. He likes to hear
himself talk. A few days ago delegation
OF Texans, consisting OF General Malloy,
Arch. Cochran, Colonel De Gress, A. J.
Rosenthall and Zadek went TO the White
House. They went TO plead with the Presi-
dent to make Malloy Marshal of the North
ern District of Texas. Arch. Cochran was
the spokesman. He recited eloquently
-hhhOl bttNltto III WI anu Htattt NV AotT
getting to mention that at present he COM
mands the Department of Texas. q. A. r.
When Cochran stopped for breath be-
tween sentences, the President asked II
General Malloy ever before held office.
Cochran coughed, to take time TO consider
the best way Of rounding that curve. The
pause gave zadek his opportunity. He
broke In:
Ivy, yees, Mr.. Presldence, General NAL
10y vas In Office fur twenty-one years. He
vos reconstruction mayor uf Jefferson, and
he vos collecthor NV the port NIT Gaveston,
und he always did his york yell, und
guess / knows. II vos me, Mr.. Presidence,
vat vos candidate fur cunscl at Hamburg,
und any Won would tell you that vos per-
fuctly qualified fur the place." The sober
face of the President was breaking into a
smile when Iadek halted. The President
said: "Out In Indiana men don't enjoy a
life tenurciof Office, and think 1t would be
well to establish this same rule in Texas"
After this the crowd departed, feeling far
from cheerful. When they reached the
lawn :Malloy turned on Zadek. Said he:
"You ---, I've mind to Guiteau you
here now. You might just as well have
plunged the cold steel into my back. II
you ever speak TO me again III make that
little bullet head of yours fat.n Oh, Wy,
Wy, fut will do?' broke in Zadek. "Here
is mine frients a cussin' Of me, und mine
enemies a laughin' at me, und the best

jackson City," the gambling resort at
the other end of the Long Bridge, that was
described in Saturdays CRITIC, probably
never did bigger days business than 1t
did yesterday. The CRITIo's story seemed
to have the effect Of keeping the regular
habitues Of the place away, but In their
stead there weremore than as many novices,
novices to jackson City, anyway. Your
professional gambler likes to buck the
tiger in some other than public place.
Before THE CRITICS publication jackson
Cityswas but little known save among the
fancy. THE CRITIC made IL public, though,
and the gains staid away in consequence
But hundreds who never knew Of the exis-
tence Of the place went over the bridge to
satisfy desire to try their luck and their
curiosity simultaneously. The secre. of
the places immunity from police interfer-
ence is that it is thoroughly orderly, aud
serious fights are always prevented. An
old man who is, Of course, here for an Of
fee and whose home is far back in the in
terror, went over yesterday afternoon, and
after playing awhile got up and said, ''By
=, that's the slickest brace game ever
seen east Of the Mississippi.

In each Of the elevators in the Baltimore
San building on + street there is a placard
tied to the wires that reads like this:
PEDpLERs, BEGGARs, AND oANvAssERs
NOT ADMITTED
ABOVE THE FIFTH FLOOR.
The result is that ''peddlers, beggars, and
canvassers" regard this as an invitation to
make themselves at home on the four lower
floors, and they do. They 20 about It with
even an unwonted assurance They don't
quite understand It, but probably suppose
thatis sort of compromise between theirbe-
ing given the liberty OF the building and be-
ing kept out altogether. They think that for
the sake Of immunity on the upper floors the
