tiser. Perhaps that's all they are good for. At
any rate. whether flush or broke, the average
gambler, whether card sharp, horse player or
faro dealer, always sees things worth seeing
and If successful at his calling is usually a close
observer Of human nature. So the reporter
saluted a gambler as he stood on the afUer-deck
of Bay Ridge boat last evening coming from
the races. This is the conversation:
win or loser by reporter.
Win-good money. Big play on last race"
The gambler had won. He was not elated:
he did not smile. There he stood, thinking OF
something, and his thoughts presently came to
the surface in words,
Il was thinking" said he, show easy some
men can weep, shed tears; yes, cry like women.
Only to-day q big man came to.the back of nv

that money will help hun out of some tight
place,
Crying for joys? I asked.

That Was His Style of rrimm,no.

Speaking of the 9rand army, l heard a story
a few days ago worth repeating. AS twas old,
says Col Sterritt in the Galveston Nears. 1t runs
in this wise: At one of the encampments of the
G.. A. R. there was q man sitting on the side
walk appealing to all who passed for aims. His
legs and arms had been shot off and he was
blind. On his cap he had an appeal in the words
PITY blind and crippled veteran" He ex-
planned to all where he lost his limbs and his
eyes. One of the old veterans would give him
a nickel, another dime and now and then he
would get quarter Finally aman stopped in
front of him, and after hearing his story said:
Here is s. bill" The tears came from the
sightless eyes of the beggar, and he said: who
are you that are 30 generous? Tell me your
name. that may remember and bless it. " The
man replied that it was unnecessary to give
his name. as the money could be enjoyed with
out it. The blind man insisted, and finally the
donor of the bill said: well, if you must
know, am an old Confederate soldier: and il
you want TO know why gave you the amount
OF money that pleases you so much, / tell you
give It to you because you are the first Yankee
soldier have ever seen who was trimmed up to
suit my TASTE"

What About the Park Gates

Why is it that the gates Of Forsyth Park
have not yet been removeds About every,
body in the city appears to be in favor of
removing them. They are certainly a good
deal OF a nuisance, and, as far as any body
knows, they serve no good purpose There
is no danger that goats will destroy the
shrubbery. because an ordinance, which is
enforced, requires their owners to keep them
out Of the street.
What, then, is the reason that the CITY au-
thorities hesitate to remove the gatesa
Surely they do not regard the opposition of
the few non-progressive people who always
oppose every change in the direction of i'm
provement, and whose fathers probably
did the same thing, as having more weight
than the wishes of about the whole popula-
tion of the citys
The removal of the park gates would be a
great improvement, and would be in har-
mony with the improvements which are
being made in other parts of the city Let
the gates be removed at once. Their slam
ming and banging have been heard long
enough. Ii they served any good purpose
or added to the attractions of the park there
would be some excuse for the delay in re-
moving them. but as they are simply a
nuisance and as no satisfactory reason can
be advanced why they should be permitted
to remain they should be taken off their
hinges and laid away among the thing:
which. have had their day and served their
purpose

Gam Jones Scored.
From the Neto York Sun Dem }.


The reporters of the Sun have been required
to cut down, or we have felt impelled to omit
the reports of many of the sermons recently
delivered before crowds of hearers at Prohi-
ton park, Staten Island by the Rev. Mr. Sam
Jones, the Georgia cracker" who has been
preaching for some time past in the tabernacle
there We are unwilling to permit such Ian
guage as he often uses in his sermons to appear
in the columns of the Sun.
Some of our local contemporaries are less
particular about their reports OF the Rev. Mr.
Sam Jones sermons, and print passages of
them which, we should think, must have shocked
any reverent Christians who may have been
among his hearers. The Press for example
gives report of the sermon which he preached
last Sunday night in the presence of the 1000
people who crowded the tabernacle of Prohibi-
ton park. Much of the language or lingo of
this sermon was of the nature of buffoonery;
more of it was scrubby and raffish, and some of
gle passage. and we must account for our doing
so by saying that we have an especial purpose
in view. The Rev. Mr.. Jones said:
God takes his augur and bores right down
through fellows head to his heart and into his
pocket, which should squirt like an artesiau
well. He don't begin way down and bore up
IL he did, what would he do with the dirtY He
can't do much with fool, though and there
are some pieces of hickory that the Lord could
not make an axe helve out of TO save his soul -
Is not this shocking language for preacher
to use about the Supreme Being? Could any
thing be conceived Of more repugnant TO a
reverent mind? L. It not basphemousg
We will not quote any more of the Rev Jones
sermon of last Sunday night =
What We desire TO say upon the subject Is
this: That the Rev. Sam Jones' grossly wicked
sermons at the religious or revival meetings 10
Prohibition park are delivered under the au-
thortty OF the committee Of church members
that Is In charge Of the sacred services there,
that they are delivered with the approval of a
large body of orthodox Protestant clergymen
OF various denominations, some of whom are
always by his side when he is preaching and
that n ha if.k.
TO them are members Of churches,
These facts are lamentable. They bring dis
credit upon the religion Of the men who are in
culpated by them
IL is high time for the clergy and religious
people of New York TO withdraw their support
from the Rev. Sam Jones, the blasphemer.

When the chipmunk runs and chatters, cause

issue with the MORNING News relative to
the validity of the election of Mr.. Call to
the United States Senate by the Florida
legislature. IL support of its position that
the election was not valid it presents the
argument used by Gov. Fleming denying
Mr. Call a certificate of election. And there
is a great deal in the argument. The MORN
ING NEWS has several times presented Mr..
Calls side of the case-the side which it
thinks is the right one, and which is sup
ported by precedent, and, if it is not mis-
taken, an act Of congress-ahd it is content
to let it rest there until the matter comes
