HAS HAWKINS A HOLDa
The Chicago Gambler Said to b
Going to Omen Here.

The Chicago Gambler Said to be
Going to Open Here.
The st. Paul ''fans" are considerably
worked up just at present over we'll
grounded rumor that George Hankins.
the well known turfman and gambler
of Chicago, has secured foothold in
st. Paul and will soon open one OF the
finest gambling establishments in the
West. Hawkins is said to have had a
hard fight in securing foOthold here,
but to have accomplished his end after
overcoming all but insurmountable
obstacles. Just what means were used
to gain his purpose is a matter of con.
lecture. Gambling in this city has been
heretofore closely confined, and has not
extended much beyond very few quiet
games in several of the big hotels. One
or two faro lay-outS nave been allowed
to operate in the large hostelries. but
beyond little quiet games of poker in
back rooms, there has been no gambling
in the city for the last year. If the re-
port is true that George Hankins is to
open up here, it is not likely that it will
be sooner than with the advent of
winter. Hankins has been having a
hard fight in Chicago, where he is a
power equal to the well-known Mike
Mcdonald. So far he has held his own
against opposition. His coming to St.
Paul is regarded by many as a ceSSIon
of his hold upon Chicago. This is not
likely, as Hawkins is not the man to
yield his grip upon the second metropo-
lis of the country for the necessarily
smaller field of st. Paul.

ROUGH WATER
Spells the Races at the Gaudaur
Fair at MinnetOnka.

The wind blew great guns yesterday
afternoon and raised havoc with the
sculling races between the four great
Duluth prize winners, which was sched-
uIed to come off at Minnetonka. There
was high and rolling sea on the lake,
and the white caps carressed in an
angry manner the frail shells, but never
theleSs the race ca me Off and the
thronged the banks near Hotel St.LouiS
and filled the decks of the City of ST.
Louis were treated to very rare eXhi-
bition. Tie contestants appeared in
fine form, and their Drowned arms and
shoulders were the subject of much
praise from the ladies. who formed a
goodly proportion of the spectators.
The first race was quarter-mIle dash,
and the course chosen was Oh the
bay of st. Louis, which is partly
sheltered from Kelus' gentle zephyrs.
Gaudaur wore red, Ten Eyck red and
white, Mckay white and blue and
Hamm white, Chauneey Wheeler, of
Minneapolis, was chosen as starter, and
promptly at 6 o'clock the men drew up
in line and were off. 1t was quick
squirt, and from the start Ten Eyek and
Hamm forged ahead of their Ii eavier
competitors, but uniueklly for Hamm
his car was sscramped'' just as ne was
trife ahead, losing him fully a
length He tried to recover and
the finish was very exciting,
but Ten Eyck won by about four feet,
Gaudaur and Mckay coming inip order.
The time was 1:19. The purse Of $50
went to Ten Eyck.
The last race proved to be the most
exciting, however. and for an instant it
seemed as though it had resulted in a
fatality. In this Gaudaur and Mckay,
champion double scullerS of the world,
were matched against Hamm and Ten
Eyck for purse of $500. The course
was two milestone mile and return
but it lay upon the lake, where the
waves were often so high as to dash en-
tirely over the frail SOULS. The con-
test was very even to the turn
ing point. but it was more of

5pecIal TO the Globe.

Special to the Globe.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Aug. 7.-St. Paul
was beaten from the start, and showed
from the nervousness of the players that
they did not expect TO be in it with the
Blles. Conway was very effective. and
when the visitors did get hits they were
so far apart and so short that they did
little good. The field work Of the vlsl-
tors was simply abominable, as the
eleven errors will show. All of these
errors were such as should have been
avoided, and the half-hearted way in
which the fielding was done gave the
spectators a sense of WEAKNESS. Car
penter made two grievouS errors, and
let in a run in the second inning. A
base Oh balls and good hits brought in
two in the third. and then the run-get-
ting was over for the visitors. Mains
was very wild, and toward the end OF
the game he let in several runs by wild
pitches, which so disguised BrOughton
that he would hardly run after the ball
when men were on bases. There were
no especial features, and, so far as st.
Paul is concerned, very little to say
about the game. Kansas City did some
hard and effective batting, and made
the hits count as we'll as the errors.

JOSEPH l.. JOHNSTON.

While il was sad 10 note on the occasion
of Thursday how many Of those who follow
ed our great leader, have passed over the
river yet there was consolation in the fact
that so many Confederate Generals, trained
i'm the armies Of Lee and Johnston, still live,
ready TO sustain the Confederate fame
against any enemy who may dare assail the
United States.
Prominent among them is our great VIZ
ginan, Joe Johnston, as martial in his bear
Ing as when he won his first Confederate
victory; as when he extricated our army
on the Peninsula; as when at Seven Pines
he fell like a thunderbolt upon McClellan's
divided forces: and as when at the very
close of our struggle he frightened the
gloom enshrouding the South, by the bril-.
liant battle Of Bentonville.
History will accord Johnston high place
among the generals Of this age. The
Federal and foreign commanders have ever
done so. The magnificent army he organ
lied and commanded with such consumatt
skill adored him. II is proud sight to see
how. even now, his brown eyes CLEAN, and
how little the cares and hardships of three
wars have touched his manly bearing Oh
dimmed his great intellect. No staunchel
type of the true Nirginian lives to-day than
General Joseph Eggleston Johnston.

cent to cripple its usefulness and prevent
It's doing the work for which II was placed
In power. Hpatronage in Office Is source
Of strength. how did IL happen that 1t did
not save Iowa last fall. and that the lack OF
Il did not lose Massachusetts, to the Repub-
licansy The reverse was the case.
"Thc second point rs to a civil pension
list is always held up as bugbear by the
opponcnts of the reform. II never has been
and never will be advocated by any sup
porter OF the reform. Here and there some
rare person. like President Eliot. whose
mind runs in the channels Of English
thought, may advocate civil pension list
for all civil servants and for meritorious
persons generally, but no one who discusses
the subject with a knowledge Of American
thought, history, and conditions would
dream Of such thing.
"The third and last point is that heads OF
departments and bureaus ought TO select
their own subordinates. They are supposed
to know, and il they really did there would
be little need Of reform, for with hardly an
exception these chiefs of the service are
ambitious only Of good administration. The
trouble is that those men do not select their
own subordinates and never have done so.
Their slnbordnates are selected for them by
Senators, Congressman and other politi-
clans, great and small, who are not re-
sponsible for, nor primarily interested in
having the best administration. The OBJ
ject Of civil service reform is not TO take ap-
pointments from the heads of departments
who do not now make them, but to take them
out Of politics and out of the hands Of politi-
clans who do make them"
