The Derivation of Calico.

The word calico has a queer origin.
Many centuries ago the first monarch
of the Province of Malabar gave to
one of his chiefs, as reward for dis
tinguished services, his sword and all
the land within the limits of which a
cock growing at certain temple
could be heard. From this circum-
stance the town which grew up in the
center of this territory was called Cal
icoda, or the cock of growing, After.
ward it was called Calicut, and from
this place the first cotton goods were
imported into England, bearing the
name of calico.--DetrOH Free Press.

Poolr00m Gambling.

A New York judge took occasion a
few days ago to speak his mind briefly
but forcibly in regard to the evils of
poolroom gambling. The occasion
arose from the arrest of a number of
boys who had been led to steal by the
temptations of the poolrooms. "These
poolrooms," said the judge, "are moth
ing but breeders of crime and vice, and
If could have my way would break
them all up" But these breeders of crime
flourish in all parts of New York city in
spite of the pretended vigilance of the
police. Many of them are run without
any concealment whatever, and their
crowds of patrons may be seen stream
ing in and out at all times of the day
These dens of vice are all adjuncts of
the race-tracl1s.
This state of things is quite common
all over the country, although the Chica-
go authorities have practically stamped
out the evil. But even in the latter city
gambling is carried on at the race
track just outside the city limits, and
there is a movement afoot to combat
the great damage done by these outlaw
institutions.

THE ANTI-oPTIoN BILL.
BY q Vote of 40 to go the sena
Passes 1t.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The Senate got
rid yesterday of the legislative incubus
under which it has labored since the first
day of the session. The anti-Option bill
reached the point at which voting began
at 3:15 p. m.
The first vote was on the amendment
offered by Mr.. Villas, Dem., Wis. to the
George substitute, and the amendment
was rejected-yeas, 81; nays, so. Then
the George substitute itself was rejected
yeas, 10; nays, 81.
Finally the bill was passed by vote of
40 to 90.
There were many members of the House
Of Representatives,, at times almost as
many of them as there were Senators,
present in the Senate chamber during the
voting aud the preliminary discussions OF
the bill, and the deepest interest was
manifested in the proceedings as we'll on
the floor as in the crowded galleries.
The Chandler resolution requesting the
President to enter into negotiations with
the Commissioners from the provisional
government of Hawaii for annexation of
the islands was taken up, and, after a
brief discussion was laid aside without
action-the anticipation bill pushing it
out of the way.

NO HASTY ACTION LIKELY.
Statement That 900 Marines Are to bo
Sent to Honolulu Denied.

statement That 900 Marines Are to be
Sent to Honolulu Denied.
WASHINGTON, Feb. There is seem
ingly no preparation being made at the
Navy Department for sending vessels to
Honolulu to support the Boston. The
statement that 900 marines would be GENT
to Honolulu on the steamer Mariposa
lacks confirmation at the Department.
While this number of marines and per
haps 100 more could be mustered for
foreign service of this character not more
than 500 could be conveniently spared
Besides the Mariposa will sail from San
Francisco tonight and it is not possible
for the Department. to have more than
300 men ready before the hour of de-
parturc.
1t is probable that no extraordinary
action will be taken by the United
States Government until after n confer
ence has been held between the Hawaiian
annexation commissioners now on their
way to Washington from San Fran cisco
and the Secretary of State.
This conference will be held Saturday
morning at the State Department.. Ar
engagements for it have been made by a
member of the Pacific Coast Congress
sional delegation.
