"The financial interest taken in the Nara

Is also considerable. Boston and New York
travel while the meetings last is far above the
normal. Racing men of means are in the
habit OF spending Sunday at home In New

Railroad Company, will be among the losers.
How the compositors must have
laughed in the sleeves of their shirts,
rolled up above their elbows, as they
ratified that copy into type. The type
setting machines themselves must have
had convulsions of hilarity. No one
ever accused compositors or type setting
machines OF being too innocent. They are
proverbially up to snuff. They knew
that the reporter was a guileless one

would not correct him-not they |!

But the awakening has come at last
1t was bound to come some time, of
course, for even innocence insidiously
contaminated is sooner or later bound to
catch reflection of itself, SCARED and
scared by the thoughtless association
OF the cigar and cocktail. The News
held the mirror up, the lamblike
reporter gazed at himself for q moment
and then in horror and amazement he
tufned back somesault and amid the
echoing hilarity of the composing room
the following matter went into type
and bobbed in the columns of
this mornings Journal--a pitiably
small paragraph by contrast to the
elongated expressions of Dec. 9 and
December 1S, but sufficient. perhaps, to
purge the soul if not to restore in their
full measure the streaks of innocence, or
to get the leg back into shape.
THE time for the meeting of the Legislature
Is drawing near, and consequently there is
considerable speculation as TO what will be
done with the bill legalizing pool selling at
race tracks in this State. The speculation is
confined entirely to outsiders. however, be-
cause the members of the Assembly under

tucky. Marshall's force, numbering
about 1000 men, consisting Of Virgin
ians and Kentuckians, had been sta
toned on the Big Sandy in order to
encourage and protect the enlistment Of
Kentucky troops for the Confederate
service. Garfield, who had received or
ders to drive Marshall out of the state
early in January, advanced up the river
with 1000 troops of all arms. The Con-
federates awaited him in strong posi-

Virginia, with battery planted in the
gorge of fork Of the Big Sandy.
The first advance Of the Union troops,
made with combined force of cavalry
and infantry, WIS rcpulsed by the artil-

detachment, which he subsequently
twice re-enforced, to dislodge the infan-

DEspoLIATIoN oFINNOCENCE.

How sad is the spectacle of innocence,
awakened from its condition of simple
faith and trustfulness, to discover itself
violated and despoiled!
For months we have watched with
sincere concern the guileless Journal
reporter in his association and inter-
course with the horse gambler OF
Rhode Island. We noted with pain the
sweet complacency with which the
dear little man accepted the cigar and
the cocktail of the horse gambler,
dreaming not that behind those ap-
parently innocent mPrks of platonic
friendship lay dark and sinister
purpose. We have observed with sym
pathy the insidious workings OF
the horse gamblers Vaccinations on his
victim, powerless to aid him, but pity
ing him nevertheless. Oh, how could
that reportorial lamb know-how could
he believe it IL we told
him, SO full of trusting faith
was he--that the cigar and the
cocktail significant of social intercourse
among equals, of friendly patronage and
good will rs from superior to subor-
dinate, meant in his case the ultimate
violation of that childlike faith, which
once destroyed can never be reclaimed,
and the pulling of a leg, naturally elastic
from lack of familiarity with the wicked
ways of world that is particularly
wicked since horse gambling was in
vented.
So it was with real pity that on
December 6 last, we took occasion TO
note that the fambffke journal reporter
had been so far drawn into the fascin-
ating tolls of his seeming friend who
sought to rape the reportorial leg and to
pull it beyond all hope of its springing
back, as to print among other evidences
of his fall from innocence TO the depths
of darn foolishness the following state
ments:
"The most important bit OF gossip In horse
racing circles just now is the statement which
is going the rounds, TO the effect that early In
the spring the Narragansett Racing Associa-
tson will inaugurate n seven-months' meet
ing. According 10 the present state laws the
sport may be conducted between May l5
aud November l5 which period of time
includes spring, summer and autumn. and
excludes the five months Of cold weather."
"Those interested from financial stand
point in the furtherance of the sport in Rhode
Island appear remarkably confident that the
pool law passed year ago, will remain intact
upon the statute books"
"The threatened nterposition on the part
OF the Rhode Island lawmakers seems 20 cut
very little figure either among local or out
of-town racing men. That an attempt will
be made TO repeal the poo. law everybody
agrees. but that Il will be successful those
who are most vitality interested have doubts

PORT TOWNSEND, Wssh., May s.
There is every reason to believe that
the commander of the Bering sea patrol
feet, Captain CLARK, United States
steamship Mohican, the flagship, has
received instructions from the navy de-
partment to delay dispatching vessels
north in quest OF illegal sealers. Last
week ell the vessels were busily en-
gagged in coaling and taking on stores for
their long sea voyages. Shore leave was
denied all officers and men, and every
thing was in readiness to sail at an hours
notice. Today the whole aspect is
changed, the officers and crews were al
lowed to come ashore, and the general
rumor prevails among the feet that the
vessels will not go to sea fortwo or three
| weeks.
| Officers on the cruser Yorktown pro-
fess to have been semi-officialIy notified
to await the arrival of Secretary Her
bert, who will inspect the feet. and
then the Yorktown will be ordered to
Australia via Honolulu. Commander
CLARK will not make statement for pub
| lication.
Since the British ambassador and Sec
retary Gresham have agreed upon regu-
lations to govern the eesling this season,
the American naval officers, after Com
mander CLARK received voluminous
cipher dispatch from Washington, have
! suddenly ceased making active prepara.
tions for the northern cruise. A naval
officer who is quite near Commander
Clark expressed the opinion that since
the British government has decided to
heartily cooperate with the Americana
to suppress sealing, except in the man.
ner prescribed in the regulations. and
has dispatched two men-of-wer north to
warn Canadian sealers to comply with
the laws, that the authorities at Wash
ington have decided that it is unneces-
sary to send large feet north. 1t is
quite probable that four revenue cruisers
and one naval vessel will be ordered to
Bering sea, and the other men-of- war
dispatched to other stations. 1t is evil
dent that something has occurred which
has changed the governments pro-
gramme, after concentrating nearly q
dozen vessels at this point preparatory
to sailing north.

PUEBLO, Colo, May Sat 6 80 p. m.
as an engine of the Denver and Rio

fireman being off the engine, it was sud
denly surrounded by 15 of the men un-
der General Sanders, who came in Sat-
urday as Coxey band. They took the
engine and ian the locomotive to the
Missouri Pacific track, where six cars
that had been left short time before
were coupled on. The whole band
boarded the cars and, attaching the Rio
Grande engine, started for the east at a
lively gait.
Four miles out they met an engine
which was coming in for the purpose of
taking out the regular passenger train,
as all the rolling stock has been kept at
the town site since the Cripple Greek
men arrived. The engineer reversed
and is keeping ahead OF the Industrisls.
The latter stopped their train at Boone
and took coal and water. The engines
passed Nephesta going 80 miles an hour.

SAN FRANCISCO, May Sc. ]. Bald
win, IN speaking of the suit brought by
Miss Lillian A. Ashley, said tonight that
it was case of blackmail. He was 30
ungallant as to remark that the plain
tiff was "old and homely," and that any
one who knew her would not credit the
charge made against him. He also de-
than year ago that an attempt would
be made to blackmail him in q suit such
as that just filed in Los Angeles. and
added:
II want the suit to 90 on. They think
they have an easy game in me, but |
will show them how to fight. l will
gamble that she will never recover q
dollar from me. Ths charge Is without
any foundation"

whom Baldwin has been discussing the
suit. was present and laughingly re-
marked:
"Mr. Baldwin is going to show Colonel
Breckinridge of Kentucky how to fight
q case of this kind. Seriously speaking,
there is no foundation for the suit. 1t ia
case of blackmail. We have proof
that this woman black mailed a wealthy
man of Boston and shall produce the
evidence. 1t is conspiracy on the
part of many persons in the southern
portion of the state, who have urged
this woman to bring the suit in the hope
of securing seme of Mr.. Baldwin's dol
