GAMBLERS DISPERSED.
Smallpox Has Broken Out at Roby, Ind
 and the Track Is Closed.


 CHICAGO, Jan 12.-Aid from an unex- pected source has come to tho Indiana au- thorities, who have for months been rack ing their brains as to the best method of closing and keeping closed the race track at Roby. An epidemic of smallpox has broken out, and there is a wild scram- bling among the tOuts, stablemen and jockeys to reach more healthful locality.
 The Chicago authorities were powerless to move against the plague spot. as it is under tho Jurisdiction of the Indiana board of health. That body promptly re- ceived notice of the prevalence of tfS dis ease and of the danger which thressened Chicago from its continued existence,
 It is probable that corps of physicians from the Indiana board will be sent to the track to vaccinate everybody in the place, and to thoroughly fumigate the stables and other buildings at the track. and to make every effort to stamp out the dis ease, which seems to have taken a stand and is rapidly spreading. The track is closed at present, but it is not likely that the state medical authorities will allow il to reopen, even if the management wishes fn do SO

SECRETARY CARLIsLE's interpretation of that clause of the new tarif law which repealed the Mckinley sugar bounty that it put an immediate stop to the pay ment of bounties-has been unanimously sustained by the court of appeals of the District of Columbia in test case. And the court also decides that the sugar bounty was unconstitutional. two out of its three judges assenting and the third neither assentiDg nor dissenting, because of his belief that it was unnecessary to to pass on the constitutionality of the bounty at this time.
 IT will be interesting to note how many republican newspapers will be honest enough to give the administration proper credit for having compelled the govern ment of Spain to remove the discrimina- tion of seventy-five cents a barrel against flour shipped from the United States to Cuta This diplomatic victory was not easily won. but Presi 1eat Cleveland and Secretary Gresham decided that won it must be. ard Minister Taylor was in- structed to inform the Spanish govern ment that 1t must choose between re- moving the discrimination against our flour and having Cuban sugar shut out of the United States, and that the choice must be made quick. The Spanish government is notoriously slow in react- ing conclusion upon anything. but in this case it "got a move on" and quickly chose to abolish that discrimination.

A Florists Invention.

A florist in Chattanooga, Tenn,
named John Karsten, has invented a
novel alarm to warn him that his flow
ers are freezing. The climatic condi-
tions Of East Tennessee are such that
a man may sometimes go to bed with
the roses in bloom and wake up to find
them covered with snow. OF course,
that sort of thing is hard on florists,
and Mr.. Karsten has been losing flow
ers, which are money to him, for sew
eral years. He lay awake nights try
ing to devise some means to save him
self from such loss and finally invent
ed an automatic alarm worked by the
contraction and expansion of thin
piece of steel which is attached to a
thermometer hung just outside of his
window, the thermometer in turn being
connected with bell at his bedside by
an insulated wire. Whenever the mer-
curry drops below forty-five, the steel
snaps and turns on the alarm, the bell
rings above him and the florist gets up
and covers his flowers.
