CHRISTMAS POLICE HARVEST.
Gambling VIII Be Ssopped-A Universal
Embraeer Brought TO Book.

The municipal court prisoners row
was crowded yesterday goCning with
ell kinds OF offenders. and until late in
the afternoon Judge Glasgow was kept
busy dispensing justice. The press Of
business was relieved TO some extent
by the continuance Of the twelve gamb-
ling cases to this afternoon. 1t IS not
known whether the accused intend 70
fight the case, but Chief Rogers, in his
remarks about his iusentien to rid the
town Of gambling. included black Jack
games. Within the past few weeks his
detectives have made It very ulcomfort-
able for the pfoprictors of the cigar
store in the north end of the Colonial
block and the Clancy building. where
games have been running III a half
hearted manner.
Poor old Gerald Smith, who has been
convicted of intoxic1tion in the NUM-
cipai court nine times within three
months. was once more in his accus-
toned place No one was surprised
when the JUICE sent him to jail for 80
days and inflicted fine of 800.
An amusing case came up when c.
d. Kirk. a Aundryman, was tried for
intoxicatioa. 1t appeared that he was
SO happy last Monday night that he
tried TO embrace all the women he met
on Pike street. The judge said So

The Elevator Sickness.

Ceases of elevator sickness are on the
increase" said DR.. L. G. Knowlton OF
Chicago. "When physicians first began
to claim that there was such thing as
elevator sickness their statements were
usually discredited, but it is now becom-
ing well defined. Its effects are found in
an increased number of cases of brain
fever and disordered nervous systems.
Many have felt sense of emptiness in
their heads, a sensation as if they were
falling when riding rapidly in an elevator,
especially when going down. This creates
a dizziness, slight it is true, but the con-
slant repetition of which brings on head
aches and often brain fever. If not so seri-
Gus, then it is felt in the nerves. Those
who habitually ride up and down eight or
ten stories cannot fail to realize that it is
bringing on a disordered condition of the
nerves. For this reason elevators should
be run slowly, especially when descend
ing. "-Cincinnati Enquirer.

AN OUTLAW FORTRESS.
The Cliff From Which the Sizemore Band
Shot Down Travellers.

Inc SlIH FROM " men inc SlZemOre BanU
Shot Down Travellers.
On the left bank of the Holston river
in Hawkins county, Tenn, is a cliff which
has some local fame. 1t is of solid stone
perpendicular from the base up and ia
something over a hundred feet high. From
the top of it the country is visible foI
miles and miles, affording a grand view
of the hill, mountain and stream. A few
feet back from the edge are still plainly tc
be seen the carthworks forming the rem.
devious of the celebrated Sizemore and his
gang Of desperadoes.
From the top of the cliff they command
ed n full view of much used public road,
together with two fOrds above and below,
and "a great number of hapless soldiers as
well as private citizens who had lucklessly
incurred their anger fell victims to their
unerring rifle bullets Us they attempted to
pass all unconscious of danger.
Very near this cliff is little cave at
least q mile deep, on the sides of which
are written the names of once prominent
people who have long since passed away,
the dates running back perhaps hundred
years. In one of the Caverns is perfect
little table, formed of fiat rock. During
the war this cave was used by some sol
diers as "a place for making saltpeter, the
hoppers being still in a state of preserva-
ton, the earth looking rs if it had been
dug but reCcntly.-Ncw York Commercial.

soLDDUsT AND HAIR GREASE.
ThU Use OF One Aided In Acquiring tho
Other In ArgOnaut Days In California.


There is very large but always very
proper, even digniGcd, barroom in Union
square which by some unexplained proc
oss of selection has for years been the re-
freshment place of numerous old time New
York boys"-that is, they were boys in
the days Of the prc-Cminence of the old
Sixth and Eighth wards.
They are gray haired or bald and too
ample of girth to run wild de machine"
as every one of them did in tie old days.
They are all well dressed, generally ruddy
faced and gray mustached, digni1od Of
carriage and slow Of speech as if, since
the glory Of the old days has departed,
there is too little to be talked about in
these degenerate days to require hasty
speech for the telling.
Well, such an old boy sat at polished
mahogany table in that barroom with two
companions Of the same type watching the
barkeepCrs mix and serve drinks and then
ring up printed checks for the amount due.
"Those barkCCpcrs don't have the same
chance for rake off we had in California
in the placer days, " Somarkud the old boy
thoughtfully, and his companions slowly
directed their attention to him, antcipat-
ing story.
Il tended bar in Sacramento and Marys-
vile in the early flfties, when those two
cities were the supply headquarters for
nearly all the placer mining camps. Min
ers would come in with their gOlddust,
and before selling it many of them would
make the rounds of the saloons After a
round of drinks miner would put on the
bar channels skin bag of dust from
which the barkeepcr would take pinch,
which was supposed to represent as many
times two bits worth of gold as there were
drinks to be paid for. The dust was gen
orally fine and looked like black sand, only
now and then showinga dull glitter OF
yellow. This was where the barkeepers
worked their little graft They all wore
long hair, saturated with grease. Before
taking pinch of dust we always ran our
hands through our hair, carelesslke. The
pinch was deposited back Of the bar, but
we'd wipe our fingers on a greasy cloth.
That cloth grew very heavy during a busy
watch, and when it was roasted in little
clay capsule it would leave little button
of gold. See?'
Great graft, that" remarked one OF
the other old boys. What was it WORTH"
"Oh, according to the hneness of the
dust and the amount of trade. A $40 but
ton was fair clean up. But those times
lasted only few years. Saloon keepers
began getting chemists scales to weigh
the dust in, and storckeepers all began
buying dust, so that the miners could
change their dust into coin easily, but ]
cleaned up enough to buy u place of my
own, where made enough to get back to
Gods country and live. New York Sun.

Cats In Drug Stores.

Who has not noticed the tendency of
druggists to have pet cat as part of the
outfit of their establishment? Yet drug.
gists are seldom troubled with rats. To be
sure, they sell rodent exterminators to
SWANS and maidens of suicidal tendencies,
but then that isn't the fault of the cat,
and u appears to be there for ornamental
purposes only.
Altogether the apothecary cat is an in
teresting study. Possibly if Juliets at
tention had been attracted to one when
she entered the drug store she wouldn't
have bought the fatal potion. In tho
pharmacies of Paris one sees the largest
cats in the world-in fact, the cat is about
the only pet druggist can have. The
feline representative can walk over myr-
lad of bottles and never upset one.-New
York Herald.

A Good Indicate

Medical practoners of prominence are
prescribing for the cure of diseases
springing from arrangement of the diges-
tie Remedy. This professional indorse-
ment is justified by the fact that no other
preparation is found so etficacious in that
class of disorders even in the most adj
Yanced and severe cases. 1t has cured
gravel in the kidneys, stone in the blad-
der and inflammation of the Kidneys, where
all other medicines had failed. 1t
can be purchased of any druggist. A
book is wrapped about each bottle, ex-

The protection of the deer in Yer
mont will extend until 1900, but the
farmers say that if there were not little
hunting the animals would increase as to
be nuisance before then. They have
been eating some of the crops this au-
tumn, are often found in orchards con-
suming fallen fruit, and an agriculturist
in Windsor county complains that they
have destroyed his entire crop of buck
wheat. Several of the fawns have been
domesticated and are as tame as cows
and sheep, not to say good deal worse
about getting into gardens. High fences
will keep cattle out, but not deer. An
elderly farmer iu Vermont says that one
reason for the great increase in the num-
Der of deer in northern New England is
the disappearance of beasts of prey.

Wild Potatoes In Maine.

A gentleman who claims to know de-
FLARES there is flavor in the potatoes that
bre raised in the clearings in the Maine
backwoods not to be found in those grow

the wild flavor of venison as compared
with tame meats. Whether from the new
soil the quality comes he knows not, but
he thinks rs much of getting his wild po-
