THE ETHICS OF BETTING.
A Pulpit View of Gambling Upon the Ap-
preaching Election.

A Pulpit View of Gambling Upon the Ap-
preaching Election.
In prelude to his sermon last night Dr.
W. F. Oldham made a few remarks on the
ethics of betting. Among other things the
doctor claimed that "as any property OBJ
tained, without an equivalent for it being
given, is either obtained fraudulently or
a gifG that betting is therefore immoral.
1t is also unchristian, for, as the Christian
Is but God's steward, the money which is
entrusted to his keeping should be consid-
cred as loan, which should be used
where it will be most effeotual in
advancing Christian interests and in
assisting and uplifting our neigh
Dor, and consequently when a man uses his
superior intelligence in taking q mean ad-
vantage of his neighbor, who is perhaps less
well informed upon a certain subject than
himself and endeavors thus to impoverish
him, it evinces state of mind entirely rn-
christian. 1t further savors of brutality,
for you will often notice that man, when
almost driven to the wall by the arguments
of his adversary, loses control of himself
ana shouts Put up or shut up My advice
TO you is always to shut up. The betting
feature is one OF the greatest blots upon the
purity Of this comparatively clean cam
paign."

His Money Returned.
Three young men from Wheeling named
Willis, Hayes and Pollock, arrived
Saturday with the Republican Escort Club
OF that place to take part in the parade
They did not return home with the club and
while waiting for the train ut the Central
Hotel yesterday got into q friendly little
game of crap. A colored boy who also
came with the club to burn their red fire
wanted in the game Tor n dollar and was ac-
commodated. In about no time at all he
was "out" Tor Sl4, and then he cried mur-
der Mr.. Willis, he alleged, was the winner,
and he wanted his money back, claiming
that the last SI3 tnat he blew in was not his
own. Mr.. Willis refused to return it and the
colored boy got policeman.
The whole crap party and the officer went
to police headquarters to have the matter
settled. Detective Demmell sat in judg-
ment on the case and after learning OF how
the game had began and progressed and re-
suited in the loss to the colored boy, he de-
cided that the money had been fairly lost
and was not recoverable by the boy. No
arrest was made.

There Ought to be More of Them in This
World.
There is something that is getting to be
awfully scarce in this world. Shall tell
you what it is? 1t is girls. That is what
is missing out of the sentient, breathing,
living world just now. We have lots of
young ladies and lots of society misses but
sweet, old-fashioned girls of ever so long
ago are vanished with the poke bonnets
and the cinnamon cookies. Let me enum-
crate few of the kind of girls that are
wanted. In the first place we want home
girls, girls who are mothers right hand !;
girls who can cuddle the little ones next best
to mamma, and smooth out the tangles in
the domestic skein when things get twist
ed girls whom father takes comfort in for
something better than beauty, and the big
brothers are proud of for something that
outranks the ability to dance or shine in
society. Next We want girls of sense,
girls who have a standard of their own re-
gardless OF convcntionalities and are indie
pendent enough to live up to it girls who
simply won't wear a trailing dress on the
street to gather up microbes and all sorts
of deHlement; girls who won't wear
high hat to the theater, or laCerate their
feet and endanger their health with high
heels and corscts; girls who will wear
what IS pretty and becoming and snap
their fingers at the dictates of fashion
when fashion is hsrrd aud silly. And we
want good girls, girls who are sweet.
right straight out from the heart to the
lips; innocent and pure and simple girls,

Respectable Whisky Selling.



A temperance discussion once spraug up
in large coach crossing the Alleghanies,
and the subject was handled without
gloves. One gentleman maintained q
stoical silence until he could endure it no
longer; then he broke out saying: Seen
tlemen, want you to understand that

but | would have you know that | have Il

and do respectable business"
When he had delivered himself, he
seemed to think he had put quietus to
the subject, and that no answer could be
given. Not so thought a Quaker, who
was one of the company. He said {:
Friend, that is the damning part of the
business. If thee would sell to drunkards
and loafers, thee would help kill of the
race, and society would be rid of them;
but thee takes the young, the pure. the in
nocent and unsuspecting, and makes drunk
ards of them. And when their character
and money are gone, thee kicks them out,
and turns them over to other shops to be
finished of; and thee ensnares others, and
sends them the same road to ruin"
Surely the Quaker had the best of the

we lay at the town about three miles from

1t was queer thing, said the engineer.
The horse and buggy were flung clear
over the fence, killing the horse instantly,
while the old man went forty feet high and
came down on the roof of the fourth car
back. We came to stop and found him
and got him down. He had Just minute

that he wanted to speak. When / bent
