Every time bank fails these days,
the gold standard press at once attri-
butes the cause to dishonest officials
and directors. If the gold standard
only lasts long enough, about all the
banks OF the country will have been
pronounced as having been managed
by dishonest officials. And yet, the
friends of silver have been called
anarchists for rejecting upon the
honesty of bankers in upholding a
system which robs the people.

That he found remarkably efficacious in
treating weak invalids and delicate
children. This was nothing more than
the eating of an unlimited amount of
marrow. Every day large quantity
of the bones containing marrow was or
dered from the great markets. The
only preparation necessary was to
warm the marrow sufficiently to enable
1t to be easily spread on bread. Then.
with the addition of little salt to rem
der 1t more palatable, it was ready TO
do its work of regeneration. Under
this treatment the patient mentioned
gained during the first two weeks ten
pounds OF flesh, and strength in pro-
portion, and after,vard continued to
gain steadily until health and strength
were quite restored.

"A RAID IS MADE.
Nineteen Che Fa Gamb.
lerS Are Taken In.
A Place That Had Been Watched
For Some Time-Capt. Par
ker's Plans Win.

One of the cleverest raids ever made
on gambling den in this city was
made by Captain Parker and a SQUAD
of five men yesterday and as a result
10 Celestials are now in the tolls of
the law, caught red-handed.
For some time the police have been
aware OF fan tan and opium Joint in
operation in the neighborhood of the
new Chinese theater Just where to
look for it they did not know. An
officer, placed and watching became
suspicious of two-story building in
the rear Of the Chinese theater and a
close watch was placed on it. To be
sure game was going on inside was
one thing, to catch the players in the
act another.
The assistance of three Chinese con-
federates was secured by the officers
and yesterday afternoon armed with
sledge hammers and crowbars a swoop
was made on the building. 1t is en-
closed by high board fence and built
over the water. The place was sur
rounded and combined rush was made
by the officers headed by Captain Par
ker.
The fence was broken down and the
two doors heavily barred and the only
avenues of escape were opened after
being nearly battered to pieces. The
confederates on the inside contrived
to hamper the players in the use of
the trap doors made to secrete the i'm
|plements of the game and opium smok-
ing outfits and the police controlled
the only avenues of escape, catching
the Pakes like rats in trap Two of
the men were caught smoking opium
and the others playing fan tan. They
were placed under guard and march
ed to the police station.
The nineteen prisoners were soon re-
leased on bonds supplied by country
men in the business.
