GAMBLING.

The curse of public gam bling is
upon the city, says the Mexican Her
aid. Its victims are business men who
go wrong, and clerks who yield to the
fatal temptation and defraud their
employers. The past twelve months
have to offer somhre list of disgraced
and ruined men. We have had the
victims of this fatal passion say to US,
that they absolutely had lost the
power of resistance to the fascination
of the gambling ts bic; their will-power
in that direction was nil.
Game-houses in the centre of the
city are too near to young men and too
close to older ones. Removed to Ia
cubaya. for example, they would cause
fewer crimes, suicides, and ruined
homes. The victims OF gambling, who
have gone to prison and there died of
typhus and so found the balm of obi
Won for their perturbed spirits, are
many. Every resident here knows
that there is no eXaggeration in this:
every banker here can call the roll of
shipwrecked men cast away on the
rocks of the most fatal of passions. For
the inveterate gambler there is no
hope: he is doomed man. He will
sacrifice his honor, will unhesitatingly
ruin his family. will plunge into GER
tain disgrace, and no man may stay
his fatal rush to the inevitable catas-
trophe.
Alcoholism is bad enough, but it is
not to be compared with the mania for
gaming.
The city should purify itself: gamb-
ling is the crying evil OF the times here
ip Mexico.

THE New York Engineering and
Mining Journal says of the incoming
secretary of the treasury: "At present
it seems to be understood that Mr.. Ly-
man ]. Gage, of Chicago, is to be secre-
tary of the treasury, under the new ad-
miuistration, though a change in the
arrangement may, of course, be made
before March 4th. Mr.. Gage is well
and favorably known as banker, and
probably no better appointment could
be expected. At any rate he is bust
ness man, and there are very few who
would not prefer a business man to a

There are few vacant lots in the City
of Mexico, such as exist in cities in the
United States, for the reason that,
under the laws in force here, as soon as
a lot becomes vacant and idle, it is open
to announcement, or pre- emDtiOn. The
result is, that almost all of the city lots
have buildings upon them. and those
which do not are surrounded by a high
wall Or fence, in order to preserve
them from being denounced. On the
Paseo and in some of the outside ter
ritory, there are vacant lots which are
not fenced, but these are held because
the owners are understood to be en-
deavoring to dispose Of them to parties
who will make imprOveme 1t l.
also possible to hold vacant property
by paving taxes upon it. the same as if
it were improved, the bases of taxation
in Mexico being the income from the
property or business, and it therefore
being the policy of the government to
prevent property from remaining in
idleness.

How They Do 1t.

The garbage of the City of Mexico is
collected by garbage carts, at the pres
ent time, which are maintained at the
expense of the city. The garbage men
call each morning at the different
houses, ring the bell and receive from
the servants whatever refuse may have
been collected for them. 10 case it is
sired to have them enter the house
to carry forth the garbage themselves,
it is necessary to pay them three cents
per day, this being one of the perquis-
ties of the Office.
These garbage men also gather up
and cart off the street sweeplngs, an or
dinance of the city requiring each
house owner to sweep and sprinkle at
his own expense the street in front of
his building. This must be done twice
each day, early in the morning and be-
fore four o'clock IN the afternoon. If it
Is not promptly attended to police

FATHER SOBBED.
Reed Cried When Neighbors Held
Him Back.
Wanted to Save His Babe From the
Burning Dwelling.

Port Norris, Nj March S.--As result
of the accidental upsctting of lamp last
evening, Elihu Reed, of this place, is
bowed with grief. He mourns the loss of
his four-year-old daughter Bertha, his lit
tie home Is destroyed and he himself is "A
victim of the flames that beset him i'm his
heroic rescue of his wife and three other
children.
Elihu Reed is an oyster shipper His
family, which consisted of wife, and
four children, were happy and prosperous.
They owned their own little home, and 1t
was one of the most comfortable in the
village.
Reed was smoking his pipe and chatting
with his wife. Bertha-'the baby" they
called her-became sleepy early in the
evening, and they had tucked her away in
her crib up stairs. The other three child
rem were romping about the sitting room.
Suddenly one of the rompers seized the
pedestal upon which the parlor lamp
stood. The lamp swayed, fell, and, strik-
ing the floor, exploded.
Father and mother jumped to their feet
and eDdeayored to entinguish the flames,
but their efforts were futile. The fire
spread rapidly. Reed saw that il was a
question of life now His wife pleaded,
with him TO save some of their valuable
possessions, but he said "No, mother "
with them To the road.
The frantic wife stood irresolute, with
her other child clinging to her skirts.
When Reed returned the smoke and flames
filled the house. Dashing into the sit
ting room, he picked up his third child
with one hand and with the other forced
his wife before him To safety. The child
and the mother were severely burned and
the father will bear for life the scars of
his heroism.
Neighbors had arrived on the scene
about this time and Were ministering To
the sufferers, when suddenly from the
house, now given over To the flames came
an agonizing appeal:
dcathrn
my Godr' cried Reed, 1--WE forgot
Baby Bertha; i must save hertz and he
started for the burning house
To enter was TO meet fiery death. The
neighbors realized IL, and threw them
selves upon the frantic father. He strug-
gled desperately to free himself, the cries
Of the burning baby nerving him to
but strong hands held him,
and realizing that he could not break
away he sobbed like child.
! The wife, seeing the husband over
powered, made dash for the house TO
save her baby, but she too was held back
by the neighbors.
Suddenly the cries of little Bertha were
lushed, the flames had done their work |
A few minutes later the roof of the little |
nome fell in, and half an hour later all |
hat was left was smouldcring debris.

IN THE
t.&**e
financial World.

The market today seemed TO feel the un-
certainty OF the Eastern situation, for while
IL opened up with all the certainty Of a good
bull market its future irregularity showed
that there was a feeling somewhat akin TO
fear In the hearts OF the traders, and the
market assumed n more heavy and unhealthy
tone.
The feeling in London this morning was less
warlike, and the shrewd foreign fnancers
are OF the opinion that by the end Of the week
the clouds will be entirely dispersed As the
result Of this returning confidence the market
improved. Consols and Americans were buoy
ant and everything. with the exception of
some Greek stocks, was steady. In New
York the foreign houses purchased about 10000
shares ON balance.
Joseph today is inclined to look with ridi-
cule upon the possibility of adverse condi-
tions resulting from a Greece Turkey conflict.
London is barren of American securities and
az there is money enough on this side TO take
all the stocks she offers, there would be no
question but there would be ready market
found for anything she wanted TO sell. He is
extremely bullish in regard to Sugar, Lead
said, he is only in full accord with nearly all
the prognosticatoIs. 1t being the general opin.
ion that the American securities are bound TO
advance, war or no war.
In Boston today there was good demand
for the copper stocks and it was currently
reported that Butte, Montana and Osceola
were still good purchases on all slight reces-
sions.

A MARKET OPINION

Hallett, Anderson & Co. express the follow
ing market opinion: 'xhat the Inauguration
of the present administration is the dawn of
the era Of prosperity is indicated in many
ways. The week past has shown an improve
ment in general business, as ssis evidenced by
the regular trade reports and in the compara-
lively large railroad earnings. The strained
political situation in Europe has caused sell.
ing of American stocks. In case of a war
with Europe however, this country would be
called upon TO furnish large variety of ex-
ports, and as Europe does not now hold as
many American securities as usual, she would
necessarily pay cash for our productions,
fact which would be Of the greatest benefit to
our merchants, Manufacturers and farmers
THE refunding of Lake Shore on 3l5 per
cent. basis; the report that the Manhattan
dividend question will be amicably settled
Tuesday; the knowledge that St. Paul and
the Sugar company are preparing TO declare
their regular dividends, and the facts that
nearly all the corporations listed are daily in
creasing their earnings and are steadily ad-
vancing under the lead OF the Vanderbilts
make il seem certain that the market must
move higher and that there will be no more
favorable time than the present for traders
to begin their profit making.
While many believe that wheat is being
held up on the war rumors, il is nevertheless
true that millers and prominent elevator men
are buying freely at the present prices
