who were once highly prospered. Now
their forehead is licked by tongue of
flame that will never go out. In their
souls are plunged the beaks which will
never be lifted. Swing open the door of
that mans heart and you see coil of

horror until you turn away and hide
your face and ask God to help you to
forget it. The most of this evil is unad-
vertised. The community does not hear
of it. Men defrauded in gaming estab-
lishments are not fools enough to tell of
it. Once in awhile, however, there is
an exposure, as when in Boston the po-
lice swooped upon gaming establish
ment and found in it the representatives
of all classes of citizens, from the first
merchants ON State street to the low
Ann street gambler; as when Bullock,
the cashier of the Central Railroad of
Georgia, was found to have stolen
$103, 600 for the purpose of carrying on
gaming practices; as when young man
in one of the savings banks OF Brooklyn
many years ago was found to have sto-
len $4,000 to carry ON gaming prac-
tees: as when a man connected with
Wall street insurance company was
found to have stolen $108, 600 to carry
ON his gaming practices. But that is
exceptional.

Generally the money leaks silently
from the merchants s till into the game
ster's wallet. I believe that one OF the
main pipes leading to this sewer of in
iquity is the excitement of business
life. Is it not significant fact that
the majority of the day gambling houses
in New York are in proximity to Wall
street? Men go into the excitement of
stock gambling, and from that they
plunge into the gambling houses, as,
when men are intoxicated, they go into
liquor saloon to get more drink. The

companied by the police, if he had been

observation. Some of these men went
by private key, some went in by care

the patrons of the establishment. The
officer of the law told me, "None gets

some letter of a patron" While we
were there young man came in, put
his money down on the roulette table

roulette table and lost; put more money

then feeling in his pockets for more
money, finding none, in severe silence
he turned his back upon the scene and
passed out. While we stood there men

Oh, merciless place Not once in all the
history of that gaming house has there
been one word of sympathy uttered for
the losers at the game.
Sir Horace Walpole said that man
dropped dead in one of the clubhouses
of London. His body was carried into
the clubhouse, and the members Of the
club began Immediately to bet as to
whether he were dead or alive, and
when it was proposed to test the matter
by bleeding him. it was only hindered
by the suggestion that it would be un-
fair to some of the players In these
gaming houses of our cities men have
their property wrung away from them,
and then they go out, some of them to
drown their grief in strong drink, some
to ply the counterfeiter's pen, and SO
restore their fortunes, some resort to
the suicides revolver, but all going

ESSENTIAL THE PIANIST COMING

James G.. Huneker, the renowned New

Musical Courier, September %, 1896, as
follows:-
There is a pianist coming to this coun-
try In a few weeks on whose forefront is
engraven the word Perfection. Moriz
Rosentha1, according to the most learned
authorities on the art of playing the
piano, is the mar among men. the king
of ~pianists. / was told in Germany that
his playing has gained heavily on the
musical, the imaginative side. He plays
List, Brahms, Chopin, Schumann equal
" well. He storms at heavens portals
technically, and his play is described as
being fabulous, sensational and a miracle
of perfection. Now, perfection in any art
is rare. for he begins where most pianists
end. We are ripe in America for playing
of this sort, playing like that, the whirl-
wind. reasons not. cajoles not. but sweeps
YOU off your critical legs. The pianist
who can accomplish all the wonders uni
versally ascribed to Rosenthal must be a
magician. That he has improved vastly
since his visit here some years ago is not

Fine ANIMALS FOR SHOW
Exhibits at Waverly This
Year to Be Better Than
Ever.

From indications, the exhibits Of horses
cattle sheep and swine in connection with
the State Fair, to be held at Waverly next
week will exceed IN quality and quantity
anything ever shown in the same lines
there heretofore. An unprecedented list
of entries has been received in the seed
department, and large fields will con
test for the prizes offered i. he pacing
and trotting races. The SHOW horses will
also be out in numbers, and as for candi-
dates in the cattle, sheep and swine class
es, their numbers are so large that addi-
tiona stall will nave to be erected to
house the prize winners
More improvement has been noted in the
cattle entries probably than in any other
class. The directors of the New Jerey
Agricultural Society, the managers of the
Fair, have adopted a rule to offer premi-
ums that will encourage the breeding and
and exhibition of cattle best adapted to
the needs of the New Jersey farmer.
That policy is meeting with success, and
it is claimed tina the collection of dairy
animals to be shown will equal anything
ever gathered together in this country,
except at the Worlds Fair. A notable
feature OF the entries IS that GutAi-
sey cattle seem to be taking the lead with
owners of stock farms and large diaries,
and the celebrated Jersey breed is being
forced from the proud position it held
in catledom.
There are 259 head of cattle entered,
which is forty head more than was ever
shown at a previous Waverly Fair. This
number include herds of Guernseys,
Jerseys, Holsteins, Swiss, Herefords,
Dutch Belted and Short Horns. The
Dutch Belted animals are dark in color,
with a white and encircling their bodies
like a belt. The cattle originally came
from the lowlands of Holland and Ger
many, and the white belt CHARACTERISTIC
has been attained only after a long period
of careful inbreeding.
