Gambling is a vice which is gener-
slly associated with men rather Than
women and one which the fair sex
rarely, it is supposed, INDUCES in.
OF late years, however, women in
New York have engaged in gambling
so extensively that one of the most
splendid resorts in that city is a gam
bling house fitted up exclusively fer
women'S use. 1t is a fOur-stOry brown
stone front and after ringing the
bell the visitor is admitted to the
vestibulc. Here she is met by a col
ored woman known as "fat-noscd
Sue" who carefully scrutinizes her.
If the visitor is found all right she
is then given entrance to the hall.
To the left is the parlor, which
runs the entire length of the first
floor. 1t is gorgeously fitted up.

The back stairs run on up to the
second floor. In the corner OF this
landing is a marble figure OF Venus,
with a green band painted around
the neck. The third floor is arranged
differently from the second floor.
The small room at the head Of the
front stairs is a toilet room. The
room adjoining is known as "thc

in this room. In place ofwali paper
the walls are covered with cards.

A GOOD BEGINNING IN JERSEY

are showing sympathy with the conspratorS
in their defeat by msreprcsenting the purposes
of the Republican Legislature Republicans,
they say. are beginning rcvcl Of spoils which
will continue until the last Democratic office
holder whom they can get at has been turned
out. There is no evidence as yet that any such
partisan job has been undertaken. and we have
no idea that the representatives Of the Rcpub-
lican party Of Ncw-Jcrscy. now firmly pos
sessed Of the power which the people voted to
give them last November are animated by such
a spirit. There is. nevertheless. n great work
Of publication TO be done in that State and
those who have been delegated TO accomplish
1t are under IN imperative obligation to proceed
boldly and steadily. New,Jersey has been so
long in the grip Of prohigate and tyrannical
men that the task Of freeing and rchabilitatng
the Commonwealth must require heroic meas
ures A little pruning here and there will not
answer the purpose. There is rank growth
Of fraud TO be cut away, and the operation can
not be too thorough.

to get rid of forever. They declared In Novem-

swindlcrs by whom they had been robbed and
put to shame for years stripped of their power
and, so far as possible Of their plumber. They
chose Legislature for that express purpose,
