st. Louis, Nov. ia decision has
been rendered by an East St Louis JUS

statement whereupon decision was rem
dered in his favor The defendants of
fcrcd 10 witnesses to disprovc the truth
Of his statement and aside from contend
ing that they had Il right TO keep money
ron from the public on the grounds that
tie public would keep money won from
them, they made no defense whatever.
Justice Wyatt said that his decision i'll
the case was strictly i'll compliance with
Il state statute governing such cases,
which clearly defines that any person
uDon proving that he has lost any amount
equal to or more that $40 on any gamb-
ling device whatever, can obtain the sum

THE BOND ISSUE.

Washington, Nov. 14.-The chief of the
loans and currency division, treasury depart
ment, today sent large number of blank
forms for use Of persons desiring to make
bids for the new 3 per cent loans. The
new bonds will be identical to those issued
in February last, inclusive of date, but will
contain three less coupons, as the interest
on them begins Nov. !, instead of Feb. 1,
as in the others. Consequently, the same
plates will be issued for printing the new
bonds and there will be no delay whatever
on that score. Inasmuch as the offers will
not be finally considered until Nov. 24 it is
not likely that the principal bids will be
submitted much before that date inasmuch
as the holders will want the advantage of
the latest information as to the state of the
money market before finally deciding upon
the terms of their bids
The requirement in Secretary Carlisle's cir
cular that bidders should pay 20 per cent
in gold coin or gold certificates Immediately
on receipt of the notice of the acceptance
of their bids was explained today by Assist
ant Secretary Curtis Several parties who
made bids at the time of the last issue failed
to make their bids good, while others who
were not regarded as responsible made large
bids and when they were rejected made
complaints Of their treatment Mr. Curtis
said that the requirements in yesterday
circular was to get rid of these classes of
bidders. 1t is stated that bids have already
been received at the treasury by telegraph
but no attention was paid to them. All
bids received by telegraph or otherwise than
sealed will be treated as irregular and no
attention will be paid to them.

would give it time to become popular.

TO SAVE AMERICAN LIVES
That 10 why Captain Sumner Did Not
Attack Nlcnr.ruuus,


Attnck Nicar.Kuans.
NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 1.-The steamship
Rover, just arrived from Blueflelds, says
tho Nicaragnans feared to leave with
eheir prisoners owing to threatened inter
ference by the warship, and demanded a
guarantee from the commander of the
schooner Yulu that he would not signal
the warships. Captain Sumner, of the
United states steamer Columbia, advised
the fulu to sign no paper and make no
promises. This delayed the matter, but
after three days General Reyes, In com.
mand OF the soldiery, decided to take
chances and set sail The prisoners were
taken away without interference by Amer
leans or British.
General Reyes, the Nicaraguan com
mander, 1t is since learned, was ready to
blow up the zulu as soon as any attempt
at rescue was made. Captain Summer, of
the Columbia, stated afterwards that his
reason for silence was a feeling that the
lives Of the prisoners would have been
sacrificed by any act of interference, and
a feeling also that no naval victory or de-
struction of regiments would compensate
for loss of American life.
As soon as the prisoners were taken
away from Bluehelds Captain Sumner
wrote strong letter to Madrise warning
him that no more such acts must be COM
mitted without expectation Of immediate
punishment.
After telling Madrise he would be held
responsible for future misconduct the Co
lumbia sailed to Port Limon for coal and
instructions from Washington. The Mar
blehead returned as the Columbia was
leaving, and Captain O'Neil called on
Madrise at once with similar protest and
warning. Then her majesty's ship Mo
hawk came to port and also filed protest
and reproof.

SONG oE TIE BERRY.
you that have only eaten the berry,

Ton that have only eaten the berry,
What do you know Of pleasure, prayf
But IL have climbed where the hours are airy,
The upward length OF the windy way,
And IL have leaned where the long vines
sway
And swing from the hand that has come to
carry
The very soul Of all fruit away
In the ever kissed sphere Of the first dewberry.
You that have only eaten the berry,
Pleasure has passed you along the way,
But found her out where she could but tarry,
Where the warmest, rarest and reddest ray
OF all the suns that shone in May
Stole to a shadowy hilltop eyrie
Was incarnated one new June day
In the scarlet heart of a late strawberry.
You that have only eaten the berry
On that highest hill, where the pines are
gray,
Is place where pleasure has heart to parry
Pain for the length of a long June day,
Where the tangling vines make glad delay
TIL our eyes, and our lips, and our hearts grow
merry
And troubles no more than vine to sway
Up out of the reach of a red raspberry.
ENVOY.
You that have only eaten the berry,
Whatever Of earth be yours today,
The hand of the Giver has been but chary,
And pleasure has passed you along the way.
