TWO BABIES.
There is a little baby

There is a little baby
Always, gentle, always sweet
Who doesn't lack a beauty
That can make a babe completa.
Who never cries untimely,
Who is never, never rude,
While anything she doesn't know
No mortal baby could
So winsome and so dainty,
Zen the careless turn to look
But oh this perfect baby
Is baby in a book
There is a little baby
With sunshine in her eyes,
With many a fault the critical
. Might coldly criticise.
Her nose is oyer-saucy,
Her temper does inchne
when her small world is going wrong
To take a twist like nine.
And half the people pass her BY
Nor deem her worth look.
But oh! she suits me better
Than the baby In the book,

GAMBLING IN EUROPE.
Baecarat at the Clubs and Petits Che,
vaux in Public.

In Europe, except at Monte Carlo,
table gambling, such as roulette and
rouge ct noir, has long ago disappeared,
says Henry Watterson, in the Louis
Vile Courier Journal. OF course bac.
carat, which is to the European gamb-
Ter what poker is to the American, is
played in the clubs and in other Sc
cluded places, often for very high
stakes. But the laws are everywhere
rigid against public gambling, and 50
the Casino people have to resort to
other agencies for amusing the stran-
ger and tightening his purse.
Petits Chevaux consists of mechan-
ical race course arranged to run by
electricity Nine horses are placed.
Nine folded numbers are put in an oval
cushion passed around at the end Of
long handle among the players Each
player takes one of these folded num-
beers corresponding to one of the tin
horses. which are likewise numbered
from one to nine. The price varies
from one to two francs. All the tickets
disposed of, spring is touched and off
go the horses dashing around and
round the track at breakneck speed,
but separating as they 60 When the
momentum is exhausted one horse is
found in the lead. He who holds the

beats are sometimes substituted for
horses, and a yacht race takes the place
OF the horse race. Thus a man Is given
the option of losing his money on water
equally with that of losing it on land.
Such a game could never have existed
in America. 1t is too simply, obviously
and absurdly against the player.
But at last the fat-witted European,
along with the gulible stranger has
got on to It, as the saying is, ana less

even in Europe there is a certain pro-

appendage or annex which looks very
like gambling This is on either side
OF the machine or table, on which in
bright gold figures appear the numerals
to correspond with the horses. You
bet on one of these numbers. There
are nine Of them. If you win you get
FIVE to one If you bet on three in a
bunch you get even money. In order
to show. however that this is not
gambling. there is a limit--from one
to five francs, according to the wealth
and size Of the casino or kursaal.

THE TARIFF.

Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
So far as the action of the Demo
cratic and Republican parties go any
discussion IF the tariff question be
tween them is all bosh and shem work,
and when the State Republican press,
which is hard at it, being worked at
from headquarters, rushes this ques
ton to the front, it shows plainly on
what grounds it basis it's he 8 of sal
walton on the tariff, goldbug Doodle and
Master Mckinley, and for5oothe hav
ing dictated the terms of cooperation
by usheriDg out candidates for govern
or and commanding the POpulist party
to surrender and help them whip the
enemy, and because they don't do it
in a triC3 and have something to say
on the other side, the whole political
press has adopted the old Democratic
mode of warfare of wholesale lying
and abuse. They give Butler & Co.,
particular fits. This exhibition of
rant and anger shows very plainly
where they have learned their rules of
political ethical ethics-among the
Sums of The cities and the plu5ocratic
camp, and unless they can mend their
political morals, they will be placed
among the enemies of the State, of
mankind and Of the Republic.
The claim that the Peoples party is
in debt to them; that the Peoples
party must sacrifice a principle or two
to pay that debt-to vote for ~goldbugs
and bank ~monopolies aud the continue,
ton of oppression and tyranny. All
this they demand. This we would be
happy to do if it did not look too much
like making a bargain with the devil
to help save sinners. The Republican
press says all of the honest Populists
will do this, and of course all who will
not are dishonest. This sounds like
the honest dollar racket, the tariff racket
and the grand old party racket all on a
boom.
Men of honor and brains many of
whom the panty have (only speaking
now of the baser sort) would have met
the Peoples party, made their de-
mands, heard it's demands before tax
ing possession of the field, naming
their candidates for nomination, dc
tatiug terms Of peace, and if they
could not agree part in good shape,
like Abram and Lot. That is the way
men of honor and brains would have
done. That they, the Peoples party,
found out what the councils of the
Peoples party we're discussing and
trying to get the united sentiments on
the terms of cooperation was discovN
cred through the agency of the demo
cratic press. Was there anything
wrong for the Executive Committee
to find out the sentiments of the party
before they committed it to any par

FOUR PERISH IN FLAMES.

BROOKLYN, N. Y, May -Four per
sons lost their lives this morning in a
small fire in the apartments of Mrs.
R9becca Cohen, on the third floor Of
the four story brick building 234 John
ston avenue, this city. The dead are
Mrs. Cohen, Mrs Postarnek, and Mrs
Cohen's two children-Carl, two years
old, and Solomon, three years old. The
fire started shortly after 9 o'clock, with
the explosion of a small oil stove Mrs.
Cohen YVES standing near it, and the
burning oil ignited her clothing.
Alarmed and frigbted, she ran into the
rooms occupied by Mrs. Postarnek.
The latter made an effort TO save Mrs,
Cohen, but while doing so her own
clothes caught fire. Both women were
found in the hallway by the iremen
and carried to the street, where they
expired. When the ftemen entered
the Cohen rooms, they found two boys
lying on the floor, with their clothing a
mass Of flames. The youngsters were
taken to St. GATHERINGS Hospital, where
they died shortly after their arrival.
Two other children, whose names could
not be ascertained, we're also burned,
and had to be taken to the hospital.
The fire did a damage of 300.
