Tobacco Juice I'm the Monument.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
One of the most conspicuous notices in
the Washington monument-that most no.
BILE shaft ever erected by man-reads: Gen
tlemen will please abstain from the use of
tobacco in the monument" Even casual
observer does not wonder at this. for the
monument inside is stained from top to
bottom with the remains of the filthy
sputem of some soulless vanda1. The more
obseryant visitor, however, notices that
the worst, If not the only evidence of its
use is upon the east side of the elevator
shaft, and might possibly be at a loss to ac-
count for this until he made one round trip
standing Fear the cage door. 1t would be
easily explained then. The elevator con-
ductor is responsible, and If there's single
hundred feet of that shaft at which he
does not aim a mouthful of amber fluid
on both the up and down trips 1t Is not
noticeable. Some white paint has been
used on the east side to partially cover up
the stains, but that 1t Is allowed at all Is
shameful. If ii is kept up long enough no
decent man will enter the monument, as 1t
is barely clean enough for ladies now. To a
visitor it Is extremely irritating, and de-
tracts greatly from the pleasure of the
trip, to be blamed for the filth and caution
cd not to increase 1t, when all the blame
rests upon the monument employees. 1t Is
earnestly recommended that some officer
OF the monument associa lion make an in
spection trip in order that the filthy con-
dition of the place may he noted and rec

all the honors of the evening Saturday
night he made the highest individual score
and bowled over the greatest number of
pins-495.
The South Washington boys played their
usual steady. even game, but lost. In their
last six games bowled the highest tear,
score was IA and the lowest 40, and all
on away-from-home alleys.
From now on the result of each set of
games bowled will keep the boys guessing.
The counting of chickens tgames) before

entirely and steady, earnest team work he

Introducing the Game Of "skat."

IntrOducIng the Game Of "Skat"
The game OF "skat." 80 popular in Ger
many, was INDUCED In yesterday by a
party of German-American at Chicago.
For the, first time I'M ~ history of Chi
csgo a "skat" tournament was held. and
the concordance OF opinion when the event
had closed was that II had been an i'm
mense success, and that the game was just
as fascinating as 1t had been In the Water
land" President Prebe expressed the be-
lief that the tournament would serve to
stimulate interest In 'skat' In Chicago and
said others would doubtless be given.

this horse will not win. The crowd begins
to take the odds and men push forward to
make their bets. The odds are constantly
changing. The bookmakers watch each
others blackboards closely and change
their figures as they see their neighbors
change. Perhaps the crowd is betting too
freely upon the 20 to 1 horse and the book
maker becomes uneasy. He scales down
the odds or offers mono at all. Possibly
he has received a tip from an inside
source about some horse and he changes
his figures accordingly.
Step up into one of these booths and look
down upon the mob. 1t Is n sea of up
turned faces. upon nearly every one Of
which Is the stamp of avarice and greed,
crowd Is feverish, excited and sways here
and there in the excitement Of the betting.
All these men are actuated by the same
motive. to beat the bookmakers, who stand
above them. calm, cool and calculating,
playing upon the excitement of the bettors
with skillful hand and looking down upon
them with ill-concealed scorn. 1t Is not
hard to see who are the masters In this
struggle of the mob of bettors against the
many bookmakers. The outermost edge of
the throng is almost hidden in the cloud Of
cigar smoke which hangs above the scene.
A confused Babel of talk, oaths and excla-
nations arises from the pushing. bustling
mass. There Is nothing thrilling In the
has not even the redeeming feature Of q
strong, passionate vice. 1t is simply low,
sordid. vulgar gambling.
They're On.
Suddenly there Is the loud ringing Of a
gong on the outside Instantly the betting
ceases, the crowds turn away from the
booths. The horses are about to start.
Some of the men go outside to see the race,
but the greatest proportion hardly take
the trouble to step to the windows which
line the front of the room. Let's go to the
rail and see the skating match.
A handful of men, enveloped in their
greatcoats. maintain a difficult footing

The Bookmakers' "Lambs."
The other portion Of this crowd is Of

WANTONNESS and REVERENCE.
AsERMoN BY RABBI EDWARD N. cALlscH.

but to reverence the Eternal thy God, to go in
all His ways to love owe, Him and serve him W1tn
The primeval conceptions of Deity were
always connected with fear. Mans first reli-
gion was one Of dread. He was afraid of the
wrath of the gods. This made him very cir
self in their presence, in their groves or at
their affairs, or in the temples dedicated to
their worship. He was very careful not to Of
fend by unseemly action, by any lack OF atten-
ton or devotion, or by display of pride or self
Importance. The honor and the homage which
were given, were rendered not SO much because
of the honor in which the gods we're held, as
in the fear that the anger of the gods would be
provoked were the honor and the homage to be
omitted
With the patriarchs and the Mosaic revela-
tion the feeling of fear was softened. While
God was the unknowable and eternal Jehovah,
yet He was also the loving All-Father. He
was the stern and memorable Judge, yet none
the less the tender and protecting Providence
While the element of fear could not be alto
gether subdued, it became less and less a fac
tor of faith as love and reverence crept into
the spiritual life of man. The Scriptural
phrase ;1N7' "Yiroh," or as it is most COM
monty used - mn, "the fear of God" is
conceived as the primal duty of faith, as faith
ITSELF for it implies all the doctrines of faith.
In our text we have it given as the first requi-
site. What O Israel, does God ask of you
but to fear God and walk in His ways" In
answer to Abimelech's indignant query why
he allowed him to come to the verge of COM
hitting great sin, Abraham answers, Be
cause thought surely there is no fear of God
in this place" Genesis Xxx, 11.) Joseph
guaranteeing to his brothers honorable action
on his part, says, 81 fear Cod" Ibid xiii,
1O) David, the royal bard, outlining the du.
ties of ruler lays down that:he Unjust be
just, ruling in the fear of God" q Samuel
xiii, 81 The wise Solomon, richer in wisdom
than all men, declares that the fear of the
Lord is the beginning Of WISDOM" proverbs
7 and tx, 10), and the psalmist re-echoes the
man of firmest faith, declared that all human
wisdom is summed up in the fear of the Lord
Dob xviii, 28), while the injunctions to tn.
children of Israel to fear God are to b,
found on almost every page of the Holy Writ
ings.
Yet this word I'M, means not :" fear" il
the sense of cowardly fright or shrinkin,
dread. It was not "fear" that keeps on,
away from the object of it, that places the i'm
passable chasm of terror between God and man
This fear was more what we term reverence
It was the feeling of yeneration that concaive.
