From Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper.
The pernicious feature of gambling in
New York is the small poker rooms. The
establishments cannot be called gambling
houses pure and simple, because, as rue,
no table games, such as faro. roulette or
baccarat, are in sight. The game, as a rule,
Is honest. There is no reason why it should
not be, since the percentage in favor of the
house is enormous. The influence of these
poker rooms is so great that they succeeded
IN forcing the police to close out the pool
rooms few weeks ago. They found that
Their patrons had got into the habit of buy
Ing cheap pools on the races at the winter
tracks around New York, and this inter-
Tered materially with their receipts, SO the
pool rooms were closed out, and the petty
gamblers are in full swing in the poker
rooms. The favorite location of low limit
Poker is on the avenues east and west of
Broadway and between Twenty-third and
fOrty-second streets.
When first opening game the proprietor
rents the entire upper portion of house,
usually over a saloon or cigar store. Then

up his quarters in a comfortable, though not

THE SECRET ORDERS.
MASONIC.

On last Monday evening Wheeling Com
mandery No held Monthly Conclave,
with a large attendance of Knights pres
ert. Some very important business IN
which every knight of the Commandery
was interested was presented and acted
upon at that time Every member should
attend the meetings in the future and look
to their individual interests in Templar
Masonry One of those present on that
evening suggested the idea of going into an
election in the near future to fill the all
important Office of pro TEN, but fear when
the time would arrive to hold the election
candidates would be found absent.
Thursday evening Nelson Lodge No. 30
had a very large turnout of brethren TO
witness the workings of the Entered APP
prentice and Master Mason's degrees, and
il was an evenings work of Masonry long
10 be remembered. The Lodge was pre-
sided over by Senior Warden Darrah, who,
bv the way, makes a dignitied and enter
tanning master. In the comforting OF the
work he called to his assistance in the
East. Past Master James McCahOn,o OF Mel
son Lodge. and his rendition of the work
assigned to him in the f.. a. and Nj. Nj. de
nrees was first class, and shows that the
Young workers had better hustle, when
some of the older past masters are called
to do the work. We have never heard much
better and impressive work done in our
lodges, that was performed by Brother
McCahOn, and we can only surmlse That
one cause of the splendid success was
brought about by the worshipful brother,
being surrounded by some of his co-workers
and il gave him more confidence to do good
work. for there was on his right Grand
ecturer Belleville and Worshipful Master
ADAMS of No. ,; on his left Past Master
Emsheimer and Deputy Grand Master
Hall. With such workers in our Masonic
vineyard about him, there cannot be such
n thing as fail, and this is as 1t should be,
If those who have the talents are ABOUT the
lodge building. they should be IN the lodge
room and assist is the work, be 1t only
mite.
Among the visitors present was j. v.

7 odre Ohio. He was formerly member
of Rates lodge No. 30, and took an interest
in IFS workings while he resided in this
CITY. AS he has returned to Wheeling ana
taken charge of the Pyk. business, we hope
he will become interested in the work OF
Masonry among us also. We also had the
nleas,lre of meeting at Nelson, Brother
Harvey T eighton, who took very great IN
terest in Masonic work. He has been in
the western country for the past thirteen
Years Yea but now has his home at Bellaire.
