The FALL in the temperature yester-
day evening and last night was great
relief to man and beast and to every
other living thing. The promise OF
blessed rain was, unhappily made to
the ear, only to be broken to the heart
in this city. But the abatement OF the
terrible heat, even though temporary,
was patent blessing, as it enabled
everything that breathed to get fe"
hours of refreshing slumber. The hot
spell has been terrible, but, like every
thing else, it will soon be forgotten.

them poor.

THE PLUToCRATs are continually
crying, through their subsidized press,
about the communistic, socialistic and
anarchistic associations and tendencies
OF the democrats, though they, as we'll
as all other people, know that all the
well-known anarchists, communists and
socialists of this country are opposed to
the national democratic ticket, and
though the socialists organization in
New York has made arrangements for
interrupting Mr.. Bryan's speech to be
made there tomorrow night and for at
tempting to disturb the meeting.
But the plutocrats referred to presume
upon the ignorance of the people, and,
unfortunately for the latter, have good
ground for doing so.

no mention of his Pittsburg reception,

FROM MILLIONS TO POVERTY.
Colby Graduates Career from Mine Own.
er to City Aims House.

How tickle is the goddess of fortune
was never better shown than in the case
of Alexander Gamble, 70 years of age. an
inmate of the city and county almShouSe.
Forty, years ago he was reputed to be
worth between $3.000.000 and $1,000 900 be
ing reckoned as one Of the wealthiest men
in California. Away back in the later
fiftics. when Gamble was the owner of
extensive mining properties up in Ne
Vada, one of the many men who worked
for him in the diggings was Patrick Red
dy. then day laborer Now, after the
lapse Of two-score years Reddy is at the
head of the institution which shelters
Gamble.
In 1919. Gamble came to California from
Belfast, Nc, bringing with him nothing
but a pair Of strong hands and a college
education. He was sober and Industrious
and within Il few years, by hard work,
directed by superior intelligence. gained
Il controlling interest in several of the
richest mines in Nevada. These were the
Wild West. the Del Monte the Sunrise
others of lesser note. They were all at
Aurora, Esmerada county. New. All that
time Gamble was on the crest of the wave
of good luck. His credit WAS almost
sands from the banks of this city upon
the security of his mining properties.
Gamble awaited himself of his ability to
borrow and obligated himself for up
ward of $780, 900 in working his mines and
accommodating valuable reality holdings.
In 1860 he brought part OF the great
Pulgas branch at Menoi Park. and ex-
pended over s10o,0o0 in stocking it with
fine cattle and horses ana in erecting on
it pretcntious buildings But just at the
daWning of the seventies Candles for
tune was reversed. His mines depreci-
ated i'm Value. his creditors pressed him.
he found himself unable to meet their de-
mands. and the Inevitable followed. His
creditors sold him out. and he was left
with what he had gained in the interVen-
ing time. AT the time Gamble made over
his property to his creditors he was in
debted to the bank of California about
$50. 900.
In 1871 Gamble graduated from Water
vile College, Watervlle. Me. This school
is now known as Colby University. Gam
bic is a member of the Phi Beta Kappa
Society of the University. and only yes
cicty's secretary regarding its affairs
After leaving college Gamble taught for
one year at the Corinth Academy. That
was just before he left Maine for Calfor
mia.
Gamble is Il native of Ireland. He came
to this country when he was II years Old
and settled with his people at Linneus
Me There was founded the Gamble
homestead and there still resides mar
ried sister of Gamble. Gamble paid most
of the purchase price of the homestead
from his earning as a school teacher and
as n miner in Nevada. He thinks that
probably he has an interest in the prop
erty or that account, but he does not
worry much about it, as he has passed
that period in his life when money could
give him pleasure.
Gamble has living two sons. Ivan and
Theodore. aged respectively "a and %.
