The Gambling Cases.

Judge ElliOtt's time in the municipal
court yesterday afternoon was taken I'D
in hearing the cases of victims of two
police raids on alleged gambling houses.
The first was the case of Charles Ham,
ilton and J. c. Tyler, charged with be-
ing prOprietorS OF ''crap Joint at
what is called The Shades" saloon. 223
Third street south. Hamilton swore he
was not in partnership with Tyler. but
was only bartender, and got off. TYLER
was fined S74. and two of the cOlored
men whom the police testified to have
seen IN the act of gambling, were fined
$40 each. The other seven were dis
charged.
The second case was that of Charles
6. Hunt. the we'll known Republican
politician. 1t appears that he had leased
two rooms on the second floor of PSI
Hennepln avenue, one of which he oc-
cupied as a sleeping room. His story
was that he was simply playing a game
OF hearts with the three friends. In
spectors King, Hoy and NJ. E Doyle,
however. testified that they found the
men playing with chips; that the table
had hole in it for ''rake off," and
that So bill was lying on the table.
They also swore the place was known
as poker room.~ The court imposed
fine of $50, and stay of sentence for
ten days was granted upon motion of
Freeman p. Lane, his attorney. The
other three men who were playing in
the game were fined S25 EACH

PIG IN THE STREET CAR.
The Pleasant and Instructive
Game Introduced by a Boston
SchoOIma'am,


Boston Home journal.
There is one woman in Boston who is
determined that her sex shall not debar
her from putting heavy malk on the
next generation. She is a school
teacher, and one of the few who do not
undervalue their position and its in
ffuence. She has suffered deal in her
time from the bad manners prevalent in
public places, and every year she has
about fifty boys and girls between the
ages OF seven and nine in her power be-
tween five and six hours five days out of
seven, and she thinks that it will
go hard if she does not do some
thing toward intoxicating manners into
them-and at the same time hitting the
parents side slap which may not be
without lis result.
This is one of her methods: Once
week half an afternoon is given to rec
reauon, and she lHventS games tor the
amusement and instruction of her class
so that while they think they are play
ing they are really learning something.
One OF these games, the one, III fact.
which the youngsters enjoy most. is
called street car" The central aisle OF
the class room with its row of seats OIL
either side becomes the electric car. A
boy is chosen for mOtorman; this post
is given to boy N no has been very good
for the week, and i'll simple way the
teacher makes the class understand
how the electricity runs the car.
Another boy is the conductor, and
they have paper checks for fares. The
other children are all passengers. They
are supposed to be business men return
ing home to dinner-and it is impressed
upon them that they are very tired and
tO hni
women who have been shopping or to
the matinees. One by one the children
signal the car, and the conductor rings
his bell, the motOrman turns his crank,
the passenger enters, walks down the
aisle, and takes seat. Finally all seats
are taken. and to point the play the bet
ter most of the boys enter first and take
the chairs. Then the girls board the
lmprOVlsed car. The boys being i'm
pressed that they are very tired, po
litely rise one by one and clvilly offer
one is up but one boy, who is
known in the game as the pig"
Then the teacher enters. She plays her
own part, and the children are sup
posed to be her old pupils, who are glad
TO see her. and all the girls even are
anxious that she should take their seats,
and still the pig" glanced at with
surprise by all the children, sticks TO
his seat. Now this game is very popu-
lar with the class, but no one enjoys be-
ing the pig"
The teacher says that she already
notes the great improvement which her
! pupils show in manners. They are
most anXi0ua to do civil things for one
another, ''and,' remarks the teacher,
do you not think they tell this story at
home? Do you not think that the pig
gets shown up by those little ones in his
true cOlOrs? | do not know if the papas
and older brothers are shamed by 1t,
but l am sure that L hope that they are,
and l mean them to be-"

SUBMITTING GRACEFULLY.
Western Union Wires Will Be Put
Under Ground Without Fight.

Western Union Wires Will Be Put
Under Ground Without a Fight.
The Western Union Telegraph COM
pany has submitted gracefully. Its
wires will go down. The city attorney
was notified yesterday that the COM
pany had withdrawn its protest. The
conduits will be laid as soon as con-
tracts can be let. 1t has been expected
all along that the city would be forced
into litigation with the telegraph COM
pany- When the overhead electric
wires were first ordered put under
ground the Western Union gave no
heed to the order. Other companies
complied with the order, but the West
ern Union followed its old case. Finally
notice was served upon the Western
Union tnat the underground order must
be complied with. That set the COM
pany to thinking. although twas given
out that fight would be made. Where
ever this question Of forcing wires
under ground has gone into the courts,
the municipality has won. The West
ern Union concluded to submit grace
fully.
The wires will be put in conduits
owned and put down by the Western
Union. They will be of iron, and large
enough to accommodate 400 wires. The
wires Will be strung in cables inside the
iron tubes. There are about $50 West
ern union wires to go down. The con-
duits will be laid on the opposite side
of the street from the electric light con-
duits. The Western Union people will
not allow their wires to be placed any
where near the electric light wires, for
the reason that contact would be
likely to prove disastrous. The heavy
electric light current is sufficient, if
transferred to Western Union wire, to
cause fire wherever the latter enters
building, as the Western Union wires
are not insulated in such way as to
guard against the influences Of such
heavy current. The work will be
pushed as rapidly as possible. The
conduit Will begin at the Great North
ern bridge. Third avenue north and
First street north, running up First
street north 10 Hennepin, down Hen
nepin to the city hall. on Hennepin to
Third street, and from Second avenue
north and Third street to the chamber
of commerce. When these wires are
underground the business portion of
the city will be entirely free from poles
and wires.
The Maternity Hospital association wants
a new building. DR.. Martha q. Ripley saws
they must have new building, and what Dr.
Martina q. says usually goes" The building
at 25Z9 Fourth avenue south has grown too
small. a new one is wanted, and the insti-
tuition has no money with which TO buy one
Dr. Ripley wants some philanthropic indi-
vidual TO step up without being bashful and
buy building for the hospital. One that will
accommodate twenty-five or thirty beds will
be large enough.

AFTER SOME FORMS OF EVIL.
The Tough Saloons Are to Be
Given a Black Eye.

The Tough Saloons Are to Be
Given Black Eye.
The grand jury investigated the cases
of some of the tough saloons with wine
room attachments yesterday, and it is
probable that some few indictments
may be found in this quarter. The
claim is made that some of the class of
ultra designation house saloons are
running down town where young girls
can be debauched under the wink of
the eyes of the prOprietorS. where men
are made drunk and even drugged by
sirens. and then followed from the
places by thugs who finish the premedi-
lated work. Some of the more notori-
Gus designation houses will also be
given turning over.
The case of George Carroll. the hack
driver, who is said TO have gone through
the pockets of a drunken lumberman
to the tune of SIS, was investigated.
The lumberman is boarding for the
present with Capt. West, at Single
Creek, but was on hand this morning
IN the care of his genial host. Among
the number was university student
who esSayed the role of a detective. and
followed a couple around for some time.
Tom EraDey and his pocket-pIcking
case occupied a part of the jury's vaiu-
able time. His supposed victim. a little
woman from st. Paul, and Officer
Shelley, who made the capture, were
the principal witnesses. Young Girard,
charged with carrying away a pair OF
opera glasses from the Grand opera
house. was also subject for investiga-
ton.

DRIVER WEST CENsURED.
The Man Who Pilots BLACK Ma
RIA Has Been VERY Careless.

The wOrkhouse committee and the
mayor yesterday afternoon considered
the case of William West, driver of the
wOrkhouse "black maria.n 1t was the
escape of prisoners, receipted for by
West, that caused the discharge Of
Court Officer Schwab some weeks ago.
According to the mayors message to
the council West had been careless and
needed investigating. Supt. John West.
OF the WOrkhOuSe, was present at the
investigation. He talked loud and
looked important, but didn't create
world moving impression. The COM
mittee decided that William West
was probably victim, rath-
er than guilty of crooked work
IN the transfer of prisoners. He may
have done nothing wrong, but he has
been somewhat careless, or else the sys-
tenn of transfer is at fault. The COM
mittee will recommend that court
officer go with the WorkhOuse van to
the woTkhOuse and there deliver the
prisoners. There is more than one
reason why an officer should 90 with
that van to the workhouse. In the first
place he can be trusted. Then, some
times prisoners get to fighting in the
van. The driver alone can't do much.
Or. perhaps woman is going up with
let of rough men. She isn't treated
very delicately under those conditions.
When this rule goes into effect it will
probably be necessary TO keep the work
house van at the police station.

ONLY A REPORTER.
Yet Circumstances Make Him
Look Like a Con Man"

S. l.. Richards, a Tribune reporter,
has gone and done it. At least it looks
as if he had. Rumor has it that he has
left Minneapolis forever and ave."
also that his friends would like to see
him about 90, 600 worth. Rumor may be
wrong. She probably is wrong so far
as the amount of Mr.. Richards shortage
goes. An evening paper prints the
story. Some of it may be true. a good
deal of it locks like eXaggeration.
5. L. Richards came to Minneapolis
from Eaton, Pa, last June. He secured
work on the Tribune as a reporter. He
was quite a ''rOmancer" in his quiet.
unobruSive way. He never told long
connected stories about himself, but in
the line of dropping a word here and
there, leaving the nearer to draw infer
enceS, Mr.. Richards was an artist. The
natural deduction from his carelessly
dropped pieces of personal history were
these: His father was a ViTginian. an
eX-COnfederate officer His mother was
immensely wealthy through coal min
Ing property in PENNSYLVANIA. He him-
self had lost q fortune on the New York
exchange. He was married. A tenn
pOTary separation between him and his
wife existed. His mother was dis
pleased with him and refused to assist
him until he should have proved that he
was worth assisting. That was why he
wanted TO succeed in the newspaper
business.
Well. his stories caught some people.
Then he flashed a bank book and
claimed that his mother had deposited
in a local bank several thousand dol
lars to his credit. Then some relatives
died. he said, and increased his fortune.
He promised A. j. Blethen that he
would put money into the Tribune. The
golden bait caught Blethen, and Rich
ards was promoted successfully to as
sistant city editor and city editor and
finally given the comparative snap of
railroad reporter and dramatic critic.
But he didn't buy the Tribune. Wednes-
day night he left Minneapolis. saying
his mother had just died at Easton, Pa.
A telegram was received from him yes
terday. He was then in st. Joseph, Mo.

une mourn his departure for financial

A BIG HUSTLE.
Working Day and Night for the
Bijou Theatre Opening.

Work upon the interior of the BIiOu
opera house is being pushed night as
we'll as day, in order to have everything
in readiness for the opening Monday
evening. There is much to be accom-
plished. but It looks as though the indie
fatigable management would surmount
all difficulties, so that when the curtain
is rung up on 1.-The Waits of New
York" at 8 o'clock everything will be
found to be in perfect order, bright,
new and elegant. The people will be
surprised and delighted at the trans
formation that has been wrought in the
few weeks since the theatre was prac-
tically destroyed by fire. The advance
sale of seats opened Yesterday at the
Century Music store, and was
very large. Jacob Lit, the proprietor.
is in the city, and will remain until
after the opening.
