It is estimated that in one city, Chi
cago, the coiu-inthe-slot machines are
devouring more than two million dol
lars q year. There are two kinds Of
the machines: Those that have a slot
for petty gambling operations, and
those that are supposed always to give
something in return for the slot invest
ment. Those who put money in the
gambling slot take their chances Of get
ting something out, and the makers and
buyers Of the machines take care that
these chances are none too good. Those
who drop coins In ostensibly vending
slots are not gamblers, but they are fire.
Quently dupes; the contrivance swal-
lows the coin, yields nothing worth
having, and seems to ask, What are
You going to do about itY' There is
practically no choice between them,
and both classes of slot machines
should be avoided by all save million
aires, and outlawed by the State.

matchmaking with whip in it's hand"
Miss Lillian Bell, in her recent book,
has clearly established that man under
35 is raw, unfinished, wearisome
product, who takes himself and others
far too seriously. He may be used for
a waltz, an occasional escort, ETC., but
as a companion he is insufferable.
Granting Miss Bells conclusion, it
would seem to be an injustice to tax
men who persist in remaining single un-
til they become ripe, finished, charming
to the other sex-men who take moth
ing seriously. To seek to compel men
to marry while in their green, Adde'S
cent state would seem to be an injury
to the young men and also to cast a
doubt upon the power of woman to
charm this gay, brilliant creature into
matrimony. The man who defers mar
rage until 35 or after, however, if we
may believe the ladies now clamoring
for his punishment, has become alto
gether too gay and charming, and pins
his faith to the advice of Punch as re-
CARDS matrimony-"Don'tw What the
ladies will do about it is an interesting
question, especially for the bachelor.

The writer appears to speak with au-

good reason to predict the settlement Of
the conflict. 1t would be much easier
to arrange terms Of peace If the Span

There appeared 10 your issue Of
this evening letter from the Race
Boats Crew Of the U. S. S. Marion
which, to say the least is misleading,
and | will thank you if you allow
me to state few straight facts which
am sure will be clear to everybody
interested in the race.
We are surprised to know that the
Marions crew depend entirely on
themselves and not their boat aud
oars" and in face of such state
ment we would reasonably expect
them to meet us on even ground and
pull us with oars the same weight
as ours, and not with oars 30 per
cent lighter than anything on board
this ship; iu face OF their statement
the only construction that / can put
on their refusal to meet us fairly on
the matter OF oars, is; that they are
afraid of our crew and make use OF
this subterruge to crawl out of it
altogether.
Now nobody wants to enter d
contest OF any kind at decided dis
advantage, and we know that we
can beat them on the square; we will
give them the privilege Of selecting
their oars on board this ship if they
care to do so, rs we are anxious to
have the matter settled one way or
another.
We are anxious to get their money
and will cover any amount they
wish to put up; in conclusion we
would advise them either to quit
sending challenges, or when they
do send one to be prepared to try
aud carry out the race on the
square.
