Work For Chief Murphy.

within a comparatively short time
there has sprung up in this city an evil
which Chief Murphy should suppress
without any delay. 1t is the penny-pitch-
ing and crap-playing which is now extern
sively practised by newsboys and street
nrchins all over the city. Whatever diff
ference of opinion there may be pom the
morality of this common form of gam
bling there can certainly be no one who
maintains that it is not a nuisance Of the
worst kind. One of the places most re-
sorted to by these youthful gamblers is
the block on Washington street, between
Montgomery and York streets, one of the
most frequented blocks in the city. Wom-
IN and girls on their way to the Free
Public Library and Postoffice are obliged
to turn out of their paths for the young
gamblers, who have no respect for the
rights of others, to the street, while they
are engaged in their pastime. The Ian
guage they indulge in, no matter who is
within earshot, is enough to make older
persons shudder.
Another favorite spot of these youthful
gamblers is in the vicinity of the Penn
Eylyania ferry house and the Traction
Company's depot. In the wide-open space
which leads to the Brooklyn annex ferry,
and on the sidewalk in front of the Penn
sylvania baggage room, these Boys can
be seen at any hour of the day pitching
pennies or playing craps. These places
are in plain sight of the windows of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company's new
waiting room, at the foot of Exchange
place, and the passengers waiting there
for trains see it and tax away with
them everything but an exalted opinion
Of Jersey City.
"Ohicer, is there any gambling in this
city?,., asked a passenger, the other day of
the policeman in the station.
Not. a bit, SIR replied the policeman.
sOh, yes, there is; look there con-
tinued the passenger, pointing out of a
window to a group of newsboys who were
deep in a game of penny pitching on the
sidewa below. There must be a good
deal Of it in a city where they allow gam
bling on the principal streets like that"
1t would not require much effort on
Chief Murphy's part to do away with this
evil. unless he undertook to do It with

The death Of Kenneth w. Carter, fol-

which has recently beiallen the family,
was a g~rievous shock to our community.
His death was not entirely unexpected,
for he had been suffering for more than q
week, and the dispatches from Kansas
City were never very encouraging.
Though apparently robust, 1t was we'll

men. He was handsome as Apollo; brave
as Richard Cour de Leon; gentle, affable
full Of life and energy. We have known
him from his childhood, and for the pas'
two years have been intimately associated
with him. His heart was as an open book
TO be read Of all men. II he had an enemy
we have never known IL; but we do know
that all were proud to call him friend. HI
was a writer Of ability, and had he lived
