AT THE PARK CASINO.

The weeks engagement of the jap
anese troupe of acrobats, jugglers and
slack wire walkers opened with fair
audience at Wheeling Park Casino. The
performance of these wonderfully
clever people was quite up to the stand
ard set at their appearance here last
night and varied and interesting pro-
gramme was carried out. AS usual lit
tie Matsu, a seven-year-old boy, was
the prime fayorite, and his feats are
really marvellous. Like his elders in
the company, he is seemingly without
fear and his acts create the greatest
amazement and wonder. The slide for
life was another very thrilling act.
After the performance of the Japs
scenes were presented on the lawn by
the projectoscope, among them being a
lynching, a burning stable and a box
ing bout. ending with a love-sick cou-
pie. All were very good and quite true
to life. Tonight the performance will
be repeated. Popular prices rule and
special motors run at 1880 and o'clock
into the grounds.

DENIES SOMETHING NEVER SAID

The Chief of Police, according to a
local newspaper has gone to the trou-
BILE TO deny most emphatically' an
assertion" that gambling is going on
on both sides of the Second ward mar
ket house. As the Register never said,
nor intimated, that gambling was 60
ing on on both sides of the market
house, his denial does not concern us.
Neither did the Register say that
gambling was going on in the market
house. or at each end of it, or on the
roof thereof, or anything of that sort.
What has been said in the Register
was that gambling is going on west Of
the market Mouse and on Eleventh
street. just as it has ever since the
Chief of Police has been in Office
open. notorious, and without effort at
concealment. And it has been going on
in that locality with the full knowl-
edge of the police, just as it has been
going on elsewhere in the city with
the full knowledge of the police. Po-
ker, craps, policy and about every 9TH
er form of gambling ever known to
Wheeling. is flourishing, and everybody
knows il. There is no necessity for
the Chief Of Police to get Indignant"
II would better become the Chief OF
Police to do his duty, or preserve a dis
crete silence. Or he might ask COM
mittees of Council to let the moral
plague spots alone.
