another to the number OF dives that have
bcea closed for good. 1t is that oi Mr.. Charles
Smith, OF 1877 Bowery,whose license issued In
the name Of Josephine smith, was yesterday
revoked by the Board OF Excise. Last night
MIR. smiths entire establishment was closed
tighter than drum, solitary light being
left to show how deserted was the place.
Mr.. Frank Stevensons "Slide" at l57
Bleecker street, which has been practically
dead since The EvENISG WORLDS search
llEnt first disclosed the awful depravtty OF
the place, has now been officially declared de.
iunct by the action Of the Excise Board In re-
voking the license held by Mr.. John McGrew,
Mr.. Stevenson's dummy.
Mr.. August Guidon's 4" French Hotel" at
"35 sullivan street was darker and gloomi r
than ever last night, because OF an event
ch'oniclcd in The EVENING WORLDS Sporting
Extra yesterday.
Mr.. Guidon saw that 1t would be useless for
MIN to stand trial on the charge OF keeping q
dsorderly house, so yesterday he pleaded
guilty and threw himself upon the mercy OF
tn justices or Special Sessions, who promptly
sentenced him to four months Imprisonment
IN the pcnitcntiary, where Mr.. Billy McGlory
Is now serving years sentence for n similar
orense.
THE EVENING WORLDS table now shows
that two OF New York's notorious dive keepers
are In the Pcnitentiary. Ten others with
their dives tightly closed, are anxlously
awaiting their late. And all this is the d.
rect result Of this newspapers crusade, begun
and carried on In the public service.
