WAR ON POOL ROOMS At CHICAGO.
EVERY PLACE IN THE CITY WAS
RAIDED BY POLICE.
Five Found Open Were Filled With
Patrons, and Three Hundred PriS-
Oners Taken to JAIL.

CHICAGO, Dec. 12.-Every poolroom
in this city was raided this afternoon,
and the number of prisoners taken is
larger than any captured here in
months. Five poolrooms found open
We're filled with patrons, and more than
300 prisoners We're taken to the station
The keepers were arrested under State
warrants, while the patrons will be ar
raigned as inmates. Bail was quickly
obtained, and within three hours from
the time the raid was begun all of the
prisoners had been released
1t is said that the managers will re-
fuse to close their doors. in order that a
test case may be made. They claim
that they are not operating in violation
of the law, although Chief Badenoch
is acting within the advice of the law
department, and says that he will raid
the places as fast as they are opened.
Notification had been given the mana
gers to close. but five ignored it,
The raid this afternoon was marked
with the usual Incidents. Ten patrol
wagons We're brought into service and
nearly twenty loads of prisoners were
| taken to the station. At Powers e
O'Brien's place on Madison street the
appearance of the police caused intense
excitement and about thirty of the in
mates escaped while officers were
guarding the doors. The poolroom is
on the second floor, and a dozen had as-
capped by means of the dummy elevator
through which drinks are sent up from
the saloon, before the police discovered
it. Many others escaped down fire es-
capes. and several ran past the police
in the doorways.
The other places raGded were: Perry's.
li3 Clark street: Leo Manners. 156
Clark street: II. w Williams. 9S Ran
dolph street and Bud Whites. 125
Dearborn street.
Some claim that the poolrooms We're
operated within the law Instead of
accepting the bet here, the managers
claim they acted as agents only. and
| telegraphed the terms of the wager ia
Milwaukee. in which event it is con-
! tended, the bet took place in the latter
/ city. The police, however. are inyesti-
eating and believe that the talep.ra ms
/ alleged to have been sent to and from
Milwaukee, did not leave this city. They
expect to find an instrument somewhere
/ in Chicago which was used to induce
people to believe that the terms of the
| bet were sent abroad. They have so
| far however been unsuccessful, and
the managers claim that the bets We're
actually consummated outside of Chi
cago. On this ground they will fight

IRISH FINANCES.
Dillon will raise a debate on the ad-
dress in reply to the Queens speech
opening the session of Parliament, call
ing attention to the report of the COM
mission on the financial relations be-
tween Great Britain and Ireland. The
Irish party contemplates no division or
the debate.
But when the budget comes before the
House the combined Irish sections will
insist upon an immediate adjustment of
Irish finance as reported upon by the
commission. The systematic spoliation
of Ireland Of about three millions ster-
ling annually is too much even for the
Irish Unionists. Mr.. Balfour may prob
ably claim that the adjustment forms
part of the coming Irish local govern
ment reform BILL
representative of the United ASSo-
ciated Presses has had another inter
view with Thomas Gallery, Secretary of
the National Sailors and Firemen' S
Union. He found him full of hope over
the prospects of an international strike.
Ballot papers from every quarter, he
said, approved the strike.
Asked whether he thought it should
be tentatively delayed to permit of fur
ther organization, Gallery said that the
general feeling seemed about evenly
balanced. But an international strike
would certainly come, if the employers
refuse to do justice to the men.
If wholesale strike were forced up
on them they would get the New York
men to join, for their condition was
Wretchedly bad, even worse than British
dock laborers. Mr.. McHugh had re-
ported that the American men were we'll
organized, that the American labor
leaders knew the men and were quite
ready for organized action. Besides New
York, Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore,
New Orleans and all the other ports
were ready to act in concert.

Another Good Attraction at the Academ,
Next Friday

Next Friday.
1t is hardly probable that the theatre
cal season will bring to this city an at
traction so popular, both in England and
America, as Sydney Grundy's "Sowing
the Wind, which will be produced under
the direction of Julius Calm at the Acad-
envy Oh MUSIC on the evening of Friday,
October 16. When first produced In New
York, and little later in Chicago. two
seasons, the play was the sensation of the
hour, and its popularity has been repeat
ed wherever it has been presented. It's
theme is the relation of the sexes toward
each other and their mutual responsible
lily for the preservation of purity and vir-
tue. The story of the play is one of the
most interesting pieces --of dramatic writ
ing now before the public. Rosamond,
a beautiful and dashing concert singer,
OF London, is loved by Ned Annesley, u
young man of good family, and the adopt
ed son of one BrabaZon, an arstocratic
old gentleman of rigid ideas and social
caste. Brabazon in his youngest days
had been involved with certain Heller,
Gray, whom he was not permitted to
marry because of her lower position in
the. social sscale. Their final separa-
ton occurred before the child was born,
and Brabazon never learned of her birth.
Her mother drifted into an abandoned
NE, Whllc, she not being aware of
her own parentage, grew up to become a
stage favorite in the British metropolis.
Brabazon, on learning of Ned's engage
ment to the fair singer, and learning also
that the girls birth was shrouded in
mystery, percmptorily forbade the mar
riagc. Ned manfully stood by the girl
and was promptly disowncd by his
adopted father. 1t is at this point that
Rosamond and Brabazon come together.
She appeals to his sense of Justice and
shows the cruelty of holding her accoun-
table for the sins of her parents. He re-
pels her with Impotence, and her indig-
nation begins to tingle through her veins.
She denounces the inhumanity of man to
woman, and puts her accusations in such
shape rs to bring the face of Helen GRAY
before the mental vision of BrabaZon.
lie becomes Infatuated, and taking up
the gauntlet which she had thrown down,
enters upon wild defense of his SEX
The fight is on, and the battle of ''sex
against sex" is waged to it's bitter end
The closing scene is one of the most pow
erful pieces of emotional playwriting on
record. The climax of course is follow
ed by the true relationship between Rosa
mond and Brabazon, being made known
to them, and the curtain drops Mr.
Grundy has put sufficient comedy into
his play TO properly balance the deep
pathos of the plot and number of grotes-

the development of the story.

A TEN POUND TAUTOG.

The President is safely ensconced in the
White House after an arduous and dan
gerous campaign OF five or six weeks
against the fish and other reptiles of Buzz
gard Shay. True to the cause he loves.so
well and to the instincts of his piscatorial
nature, he took a parting tug at the finny
denizens of the deep oil the route to New
York, mainly, so the telegram stated, at
Plum Cut and in the vicinity of Green
witch. His luck, though proverbially good
Except in the matter of third Presiden-
tial term), was even better than usual.
Over 141 fish were drawn from the sea by
the hooks and lines of the President and
party and landed on the deck of Mr.. Ben
edict's yacht, most of them being tautogs
and founders. The first named variety
of fish averages about two pounds, but
ten pound tautog singled out the Presi-
dents hook and chcerfuly allowed itself
to be drawn abroad. 1t was the prize
catch of the trip, and no doubt thousands
of people who read of the Presidents re-
turn to Washington, are still wondering
what a tautog is.

THE OFFICIAL BALLOT.

We have request from subscriber to
print the official ballot in order that vot-
ers may be permitted to examine it and
prepare themselves to vote correctly
We regret that we cannot comply with
the request, because unfortunately orr
present law forbids anyone but the prin-
tiers and the member of the electoral board
charged with having the ballots printed
to see a ballot before the day OF election
and those officers and agents who have of
necessity seen the ballots are forbidden to
communicate toanyone any information
as to the size, style, or contents of the
ballot"
The law, however, provides that the
ballots "shall contain the names of all
candidates printed in black ink immedi-
ately below the Office for which they have
announced their candidacy, and the names
on said ballot shall be printed in the same
order and each name in separate line, and
the type used in printing shall be plain
Roman type, not smaller than the type
known as plea
This provision is an improvement on
the Walton law, under which the position
of the various candidates names were
changed, so as to show n different location
on the ballots at the same precinct. The
law as it stands is embarrassing enough,
and was no doubt so intended to be: but
in all cases where the voter is unable to
prepare his own ballot he should call upon
one of the judges of election to prepare il
for him. In this way any failure to have
the voters wish carried out can be loca-
ted.
Strenuous efforts will be made to secure
n full and fair return of the votes of the
people on November Sd, and this will he
more easily accomplished, as the practice
of frauds in elections in Virginia is con-
fined almost entirely to certain we'll
known localities.
