All Men Gamblers.

Nothing will stop men from gambl-
ing. The instinct is ineradicabie and
will find an expression in spite of anv
law that may be enacted. Driven out
of one place the gamblers will seek an
other location. Considerations of COM
fort do not enter into such cases. At
st. Louis the gamblers flock to a little
village known as Madison, ILL.,, a reach
which involves river journey of some
duration; the Philadelphia gamblers
have a Mecca at Gloucester, an ex-
ceptionally unsaVory locality; Pitts
burg sports" cross a bridge, go up an
inclined plane railway and trudge
through muddy roads to lose their
money in the dens on Duquesne Heights
and at Omaha the gambling fraternity,
driven of the city, have established
their headquarters on an almost mac
cessible sandbar in the Missouri river.
All these places thrive; their owners
become rich. Men patronize them In
spite of every discomfort. The fever
Is in the blood and must run its course.

Scribner'S Magazine for March opens
with the second article by Joel Chand-
Ter Harris on THE Sea Island Hurri-
cans"-this one dealing especially with
the great relief work which is being
conducted by Miss Clara Barton and
the Red Cross Society. The distress in
in these islands is likely to increase
until the first crop shall be gathered in
the late Spring, so that the necessity is
apt to be direct at a time when the
public has for the most part, lost
interest in the Scribner's Magazine
through all these islands, has presented
not only the distressing part of the
catastrophe but the humorous side of
It which the sea-island negro so plenti-
fully furnishes. He has used the finest
literary skill in depicting these strange
islands and their picturesques inhabit-
ants, so that after reading the article
one feels that he has actually lived in
new and curious surroundings. The
striking illustrations by Daniel Smith,
made from sketches on the spot, add
to this impression of reality.

of that Mecca of students, the Latin

a page picture of the fantastic Mid |

on. Other illustrated descriptive art |
icles are 1.-THE Bermudas," by DIR. J. B.

element of personality is abundantly
represented in this number by two |
notable papers: "A Generation of the |
New York Bar" by Alvan S. South
worth, and "Three Actresses a Sym

two involving score or so of interest
ing portraits. Other contributors to |

The Rebellion Ended at Rio.

The collapse of the Rebellion in
Brazil SO far at least as Rio is con.
ceerned, was as ridiculous as it was com.
plete. The arrival of Peixoto's fleet
heightened the rebels, it seems, almost
out OF their wits. The officers of the
rebel ships took passage on a French
vessel and escaped. The crews went
ashore upon an island Monday night,
Hence the silence of the rebel feet
when the forts and shore batteries
opened fire on it Tuesday. After an
their heroics, this panic and avoidance
OF danger put the insurgents in a piti.
full light.
An early ending of the rebellion in
the southern provinces of Brazil is 10
oe expected if the government knows
now to use to advantage the forces
now released from service at Rio. With
the numerous ships gained from the
rebels its resources are largely in
creased, to say nothing of It's prestige.
