BRIDGEPORT.

Now that Chief Rylands has again
commenced his noble work on disreput.,I
able houses, his next move should be to
free the city of every gambling place
and policy shop. Without doubt, the
policy shops do more injury than reg
, ular gambling place, as they come with
in the reach of every poor person and,
in many destitute families, every penny
is spent in these shops, with the hope of
improving their condition. If they win
81, ii costs about 81 or So to get it and,
before they" win more, they must lose
"' much more. IT seems strange that men
, IT,. and women viii get SO infatuated with
,a,this game that they will pawn household
effects and clothing In order to get more
money to throw away" deprivhig them
selves of the comforts Of life: saloon
keeper whorplayed 10 cents a day for a
year and never won cent has given it
up and gives his little daughter the 10
cents n day for her bank. r. more would
follow his example, We would not have
to record the awful state Of one house,
hold mt the Fest. End, which cpuld not
o bury the dead body of AN infant because
n the mother hadsquandered the husbands
SAYINGS in the policy shop! Why does
not the mayor give his order that these
81. cursed places be swept from our city
and show the public that they have a
man in power of whom they may welfbe
proudE $.
