sm-I thought l would wait untilthe
police and newspaper reporters got
through with making false reports
about my case and the mayor in his
decision in the case puts me down as IN
idler and n loiterer; then l would re-
specttully ask the public to hear my
side OF the case. On the 18th day OF
August l came to the city on tho 8
o'clock motor. l met Mr.. Henry Rose,
a carpenter and contractor, and Mr..
Gardner, book. keeper for Woods Bros
planning mill. We walked down to 15253
Market street and stopped at the door
that leads to my office aud also tho Of
fec Of the two building associations. of
which l am president. The two gem
tlemen above mentioned were inquiring
about receiving money from the asso-
citation. We were standing close to the
doorway and building when Officer
Jack West came along and told US to
move on. ! oldhimthat was my place Of
business and my building and lie went
oil about us far us the German bank,
aud then came back and told US to
move on again, and l told him the same
us before, but he said: go on away"
Mr.. Gardner said, "Let US finish our
business" but ho said, go on 6away

Officer Wcst and l had some words at
an election, aud after he arrested mo he
said, "You we're u little fresh with mo
once before" After the case was tried
in court the mayor had not mind enough
of his own to say what he would do with
me without consulting the chief OF po.

Tho President appropriately observes
that this question rises above the level
of partisan controversy. A Republican
Congress passed, and a Republican
President signed, the act witch tho
extra session has been summoned to
repeal. AS the only defense OF this
policy it is urged with some degree Of
force that it Was designed to prevent
the adoption OF a far worse measure OF
the Democrats in free silver coinage,
Let both parties then frankly accept
their respective shares of the RESPONSE
bitity for this legislation, and lot both
unite in q common spirit Of patriotism
to secure its speedy repeal.

elusive utteranco is made through the
World, which has intimate relations
with the Democratic politicians.
With this enthusiastic endorsement
by a man OF Mr.. Gilroy's standing and
influence in his party should give other
aspirants pause. When Mr.. Gilroy
goes SO far as this it must mean that
there is q Whitney movement insthe

THE NEW pREMIER,s WIFE.

Something of the Personal characteristics
of Mrs. Walter q. Gresham
Walter @. Gresham has been soldier,
lawyer, judge, postmaster general, secre-
tary of the treasury, judge again, prom
inent candidate for the Republican pres
idential nomination and is now the
Democratic secretary of state. The news
papers have for many years devoted much
space to his sayings and doings, and yet
very little has been printed about the
sterling woman who has been his faith
full helpmeet since 1858, when she became
Mrs. Walter @. Gresham.
Mrs. Gresham was born in Louisville.
Her maiden name was Matilda McGrain.
Her father was merchant, who moved
to small town in Indiana while his

son made money rapidly and branched
out, He had meanwhile become a power
in the politics Of his town and county.
Thompson built his race track over a
marsh aftes company Of New York
capitalists had backed out of the enter
prise. He is said to have made So, 000, 900
from it already, and now owns the land
along the river front for mile on each
side of the race course, besides control
ling the ferry lines, the shad fisheries,
carrousels, electric light works, tobog-
gan slides, booths, stands and good
many other things. Naturally Glouces-
ter has become g great resort for gam
blers and many other undesirable char
acters, between whom and the law the
entente cordiale does not exist.
Thompson's political influence has
steadily increased despite the numerous
fights that have been made against him
and his methods by the people Of New
Jersey, and he probably has as much in
huenceat Trenton as any man in thes state.
It is, even seriously asserted that he as
pires to seat in the United States senate
two years hence. Thompson lives in a
magnificent house on the Gloucester
river shore, and with all his faults he is
said to be very charitable man, who
never refuses aid to the truly unfortu-
nate who apply to him. He is a man of
wonderful nerve and is an imperturba-
bic bettor. He is jolly in his manner,
and many Of his most ardent henchmen
are men who have fought him bitterly
in the past.
The keepers Of city poolrooms all over
the country are naturally great admir-
ers Of Thompson, for he has been the
means of giving them the opportunity
to lure the seductive dollar from the
pockets Of their patrons 10 months in
the year, whereas under the old arrange
ment their ''business" was at a stand
still during half Of that period. These
poolrooms, by the way, are usually con-
Quoted on UNANIMOUSLY unfair principles,
even if the question Of morality be
waived.
Bettors seldom get the odds they should
receive. The combination betting, how
ever, is where the artistic robbery is &C
complished. On 5-horse combination
Of '.5 to shots" it would be difficult
matter to induce a bookmaker to give
odds Of more than 500 to 1, and yet S.
bill invested on the first race, and the
principal and winnings reinvested on
each subsequent event, would yield $685.
$40. Thus the true odds would be TITS
to 1. Even if betting were eminently
moral and proper, the idiocy of persons
who wager their money in this fashion is
made apparent.
It is natural to suppose that those who
follow the races" regularly would be
shrewd and cup to snuff" as the saying
