decided that the "bucket-snop" business
was in violation Of the gambling law, In
terests a great many people, and the prose-
cutting attorneys attention has already
been called to similar establishments here
This mornings mail brought to MIR. Pugh,
the District prosecutor the following letter:

IF you can go further and get these

This letter. which was signed r.. was
turned over to Mr.. Mullowny. the United
States attorney. and the writer or the let
ter may in the near future be called upon
to assist in the prosecution of those against
whom he complains.
Following closely on the decision In the
case yesterday. complaints to the police
are coming thick ands fast, and 1t was
stated today in police circles that num-
ber of arrests will be made next week.
Detective Quinian, who has charge Of this
business, has been visiting the so-called
bucket shops since September, but not
until the trial yesterday of the kurnitzki
case was he generally known.
Today when he called at some OF the
gambling places the proprietors were hur-
rying out their patrons in order to prevent
their being recognized.
One of the shops-that of HELEN & Demp-
sey. at 1919 F street-was closed today. and
Detective Quinlan was informed that the
place would remain closed until the upper
court decides the Kurnitzki case.

EXCITEMENT IN VENEZUELA.


The British Ultimatum Not Received,
but the Government Prepared.
The first information of the excited pub
lie feeling in Venezuela, resulting from the
British demands, reached here today in
the Cara ccas papers. The prevailing senti-
rnent is for immediate war preparations.
although some Of the conservative journals
urge moderation. The British ultimatum
had not been received. but the publication
of It's substance aroused an outburst of
patriotism.
The newspapers assert that the govern
ment is prepared fer any emergency.
1t is pointed out that there need be no
fear of a war with England, as 1t will re-
suit in an alliance of all the American
countries from the arctic region to. Cape
Horn. This unification of the Americas,
says FL PreGenero, is the great question of
the twentieth century. and 1t will he ac-
complished.
The patriotic sentiment abounding is
shown by a national poem hy Carlos
Runck Veioz, sounding the defense against
England.

BONA-FIDE CIRCULATION.

A reference to the statement be-
low will show that the circulation
sworn to is bona fee one.
1t Is easily possible for a news
paper with an elastic conscience to
swell its legitimate circulation enor-
mously. in order to deceive adver-
tisers. by sending out thousands OF
papers to newssta Ids. which are re-
turnable, and which are in fact re-
turned. but nevertheless are in
cluded in what purports to be an
honest statement of circulation.
Intelligent advertisers. however.
Judge by results. and bogus circula-
tions don't give them.
The circulation of The Star Is
many thousands in excess Of any
other Washington paper and Is be-
lieved to be fully five times that Of
any afternoon contemporary.

eTy. Il is remarkable that they shonld
have reached SO great proficiency in
mathematics at SO remote period of
antiquity, But strange indeed is the
face that during the next 1000 years
they should have made no progress
whatsoever in it,
All the knowledge of geometry which
they possessed when Greek scholars Wis.
tied them, six centuries B. c., was
doubtless known to them 1000 years
earlier, when they built those stupen-
douS and gigantic structures, the pyra.

tion of learning has been sought in the
fact that their early discoveries in math-
ematics and medicine had the misfor-
tune of being entered upon their sacred
books, and that in after ages it was
considered heretical to augment or mod
ify anything therein. Thus the books
themselves closed the gates to progress.

A writer gives an interesting account of
the curious habits of the ichneumOn fly of
Ceylon, the natural enemy of the spider.
This insect is green in color and in form
resembles a wasp with marvelously thin
waist. 1t makes its nest of well worked
clay, and then goes out on Il hunting eXpe-
dition. Its victims are invariably spiders
of various kinds, but all are subject to the
same mode of treatment. A scientific
sting injects some poison which eflectually
paralyzes the luckless spider, who is then
carried off so the nest and there fastened
with dab of moist clay.
Another and another victim is brought to
this chamber of horrors. Then the preset
ent mother ichneumon fly proceeds to de-
post her eggs, one in the body of each spi-
der which can just move its legs in vague,
aimless manner, but can offer no resistance.
This done, the fly returns to her work as a
mason. She prepares more clay and builds
up the entrance to this CHASTITY cell. Then
she commences a new cell, which she fur
nishes in like manner and closes Then she
adds vet another cell, and so proceeds until
her store of eggs are all provided for, and,
her task in life being accomplished, she
dies, leaving her evil brood to hatch at lei
sure.
In due time these horrid little maggots
come to life and find themselves Graded in
larder of fresh meat. Each poor spider is
still alive, and his juices afford nutriment
for the chneumon grub, till it is ready 10
pass into its chrysalis stage, thence to
emerge as II winged fly, fully prepared to
carry out the traditions of its ancestors
with regard to spiders and to fulfill the
purpose for which they have been created,
according to ichneumon belief. Leisure
