& Ragget's, in the Hotel Vendome, on the corner of Market and Turk streets; at Harris, at the Sausalito House, no Ellis street; at Purdy's, on Ellis, too, 8 little further down; or at Cohen's, at the Clyde, 3612 Geary street.
 All these places have been called into being by the craving of the women of San Francisco for the excitement there is in uncertainty, for the possible gain there is in betting on the races. They are all sustained solely by women's patronage. And that that patronage provides a lucrative return for the small amount of money invested, no one who has seen the crowds of women who frequent these places will doubt.
 What kind of women? All kinds. There isn't type missing. There are women of 70 and girls of II. There are women in sealskins and shabby, pow erty-stricken women; women who are spending money earned most shame fully and women who have scrubbed and washed and swept and drudged in other peoples houses for their pittance. There are representatives from all grades of society. There are refined, sweet voices, and also those strident accents that are not out of place in such surroundings. There are well-ed- ucated women there, and those whose sentences are fluent only when they are expressing themselves in the jargon of the race track.
 But there is one thing that they have in common-that desperate, greedy, grasping eye, that longing for gain, that mercenary, shameless spirit that counts no loss of respect, that recog-
 
 erything but the money that pours into the booker's hands so generously and cut again-so rarely, so slowly.
 San Francisco's women have gone mad. They are drunk with the pros pect of getting something for nothing. They are fooled and derided and in- suited, and they know it not. They are wrecking their homes, embedding money put in their charge by husbands who would be the first to indignantly deny what is so carefully kept from them. They are cheated by the men who place their money for them, they say and yet they endure it. They go into places where they would be ashamed to go under any other circum- stances. They are unconscious of, or they are indifferent to the comments made upon them by those who watch them daily. They are blind, deaf to ev- erything but the lllthy dollar to be made by sacrifices for which no amount of dollars can compensate.
 Its like opium-or drink" sighed a wan-faced woman yesterday who had sat all the afternoon in Cohen's dingy back room. We cant stop it. That's what it is. Do you know of any Keeley cure for betting on the races :? I'd take it, no matter what it costs. I'd be better off, even if it'd take my last dollar to get strength to quit Once you bet on the races and you'll never quit. Mark what I tell you"
 And the women who sat around, their faces weary, haggard, after long af

ternoon watching and waiting, nodded their .hearse- like black -feathered hats and bonnets in corroboration. They looked like a lot of woful witches mourning over their wretched fate.
 But will they stop gambling? Yes. when every pool room in town is closed and no one will bet for them. And then they'll betake themselves to one racetrack or the other and da capo; over and over again the foolish, pitt full tale of the weak battling against the strong, of the idiotic self-confidence and the unchangeable conceited stupid ity of the woman who expects to sue ceed where others have failed, who re- lies upon luck, tips or merely on her own superstitious egotism to make her a winner in the old, old game where thousands before her have been lost
 You'd be inclined to laugh-and to cry too-at the simplicity of these lambs. They turn to the man who takes their bets and they plead with him for a tip" They ask each new conner They turn to each other and the blind lead the blind over the rocky road to bankruptcy these women are travelling.

The case of Richard Creighton, charged with violating the poolroom ordinance, was called in Judge Lows court yester- day afternoon, when Attorney Long for the defendant filed an affidavit asking for a change of venue on the ground of bias and prejudice on the part of the Judge.

An Expression That Originated in

From the New York Sun.
The expression hes a lobster"
which has now become so general in
colloquial use about town as to Con-
vey clear-cut message of contempt
or derision, has a somewhat peculiar
origin. There Is nothing about a lobster
which the older Dumas, it may be re-
called, described as "the cardinal of the
sea-" to invite derision, but a few years
ago when all winter racing was a Gus
tomary thing in the vicinity Of New
York, especially in neighboring New
Jersey, a mud horse that failed to real
lie the expectations of those who bet
money upon it was called a lobster"
an allusion to its mode of progression.
Horses which had been generally de-
feated were lobster horses, and as this
colloquial expression got to be more
general In use on the race track it be-
gan to be applied not only to horses.

II any one Of the shots had struck
the thin skin of either vessel, 1t would
have offered no more resistance than a
piece or paper to a rifle ball. The &C.
curate range OF the first few shots Is
accounted for by the fact that the
spanish off1cershad ample time to make
observations. tTheC bearings Of the two
vessels were probably taken with a
range finder. at the Santa Clara bat

connected by wire with Moro, they
were enabled to take bearings from

nave been no great trick for an Amer

AS soon as the ships sheered off, after

in the Trade Every Year.
From the Washington Star.
Every few people outside the trade" said
a leading wholesale dealer In handkerchiefs
in New York to a Star reporter recently,
"ara aware that the consumption of hand
kerchiefs throughout oo the United States
amounts to about $1,000 dozen daily. This
means 81, 375, 000e dozen yearly, or 1928 SOC, 900
single handkerchiefs. To satisfy this enor-
nous demand there are always kept in stock

gregate, as handkerchiefs sell at wholesale

ures which have given you are not exag-
gerated, and they throw strong light on the
gigantic dimensions oof an important branch
of the dry goods business.
"a comparatively aSmall number of hand
kerchlefs are manufactured in this country
and those that are made here are mostly Of
the cotton and inferior silk variety. The fin-
est silk goods are imported principally from
Japan, which country sends US annually be-

Brussels sell for from s. to 81 dozen, and
the cotton product manufactured in Penn

cents per dozen.
1.-The capital invested in this business Is
immense. 1t may possibly amount to $780,
000, 900, but, owing to the fact that the trade
is distributed, nothing like accurate figures
can be given. There are six or seven hrms
in the dry goods district which deal exclu-
sively in handkerchiefs. But only two of
these houses handle the domestic article ex-
tensively. Most of the large American fac
tories are located outside of the city, but
New York. as in several other branches of
the dry goods business, is the great dis
tributing center for the trade"

here, as 1T is said on good authority
he bears with him the report of Capt.
J. H. Dorst as to the results Of the

Havana.
Capt. Miley also has Lieut.. Col. Law

point Of landing in Cuba. Capt. Miley
will return to Tampa Immediately after
his mission is accomplished.
The work of preparing the trans
ports has been delayed a good deal by
the non-arrival Of material, and it
will be Wednesday, perhaps later in
the week, before this work Is accom-
plished.
But outside of the delay in the prep
arations no American troops will be
landed on Cuban soil until the ques-
ton of superiority in the Atlantic is
settled between Admiral SIMPSONS
squadron and the Spanish fleet and set
tied decisively. High army officials
made this statement. They say it
would be taking needless chances to
send an army into Cuba before the
Spanish fleet is disposed of, and until
the meeting of the American and Span
ish fleets takes place no one here be-
ieves that orders to move will be re-
ceived.
Services were held at both the Tampa
and Port Tampa grounds today by the
regimental chaplains. There was no
drilling and thousands of soldiers at
tended the services. The sermons in
every case were Of an interesting, pa
triotic character.
Reports of the breaking out of vel
low fever at Key West among the prize
crew of the Argonauta have caused
some uneasiness among the soldiers
here, probably in view Of the fact that
two companies Of the Twenty-f1fth reg
iment arrived from Key West yester-
day and are now In camp here. Should
these reports prove true, 1t is very
probable that rigid quarantine will
be established.
