Admiral Schley at Salt Lake .

SALT LAKE, UTAH, May 28.-Rear
Admiral Schley arrived here to-day
from Denver. At Provo, Utah, he was
met by reception committee, headed
by Governor Wells and other promi-
nent citizens.
A large and enthusiastic crowd
greeted the party at the railway sta
tion. This afternoon the Admiral and
party attended the services at the
Tabernacle. The regular services
were suspended for special services in
his honor. After music by the Taber-
nacle choir, short sermon was preach
ed by DR.. Talmage.
At the conclusion Of the service
Rear Admiral Schley was escorted to
the pulpit, and, after shaking hands
with the Church officials, made short
speech. He said in part: "This is
the first time in my life that have
ever been in the interior Of this great
empire of ours, and I have abundant
proof and reason now to understand
how it is that We have grown to such
mighty nation.
SIN the war through which we have
just passed J. think it has been worth
all the blood that has been shed and
all the money that has been spent to
have learned our own power, and to
have taught it to other people. An
other impression learned has been
that the lines which divided US here
tofore have all been dissipated, and in
the war just ended the North and the
South, the East and the West have
stood in that brotherhood and in that
readiness to die for the best flag in
the world, supported and protected by
the best people, because they believe
in God s presence in everything. .
The Admiral and party were driven
through the principal streets to the
home of George Wallace, whose guests
they will be during their stay in the
| city.

Southern Ccnfederacy was drawing Its
last breath Of life.
American history will yet recognize
the defence Of fort Sumter as the
most gallant and determined act in
the history Of this nation. Wrested
from Major Anderson in 1861, it did
not receive shot from the Federals
until April, 1863, and then occurre d
the first trial Of the monitors. The
defeat seemed to place the Federal
Government on its mettle, and pre-
parations were at once entered into to
attack Charleston on every side. The
programme included the occupation Of
Folly and Morris islands, and the re-
duction of Sumter by gradual approach
and steady pounding.
Up to September Fort Sumter had
been struck 1894 times by all the
missiles known in warfare. From the
18th to the 10th Of October 1,115
shots were fred by the ironclads; from
October % to November 2 there was
/ fred a total Of 5,565 shots. On the
I'd the monitors fired slowly at long
range, and every one Of the 140 shots
struck the fort. At this time the
Federals gained afoothold on the lower
end Of Morris Island, and erected a
strong battery, from which the fort
could be reached. At the close Of the
122d day Of the siege there had been
fred at Sumter:
!! Shots.
From land batteries. .9O3
From monitors ............... Al
From monitor schooners. Il, ,467
Total. .2,14l
OF this number 2,O52 struck the
for. With more or less damage and the
others passed over.
From the 9TH Of April, 1868, to the
last day Of November, the same year,
the Federals threw $4,000 shot at
Sumter, 1900 Of which missed, after
that date no record was kept Of the
/ number. Day in and day out, night
and day for $50 days, the Confederates
kept an accurate account Of every shot
| which hit or missed, and made a re-
| port Of the nature of the projectile.
When the war was closed Fort Sumter
was nothing but huge pile OF brick
and stone heaped up as if great wall
had fallen. Underneath this debris
was a Confederate garrison with only
two cannon, but still strong enough to
beat of every attack by small boats
The records Of war for a thousand
years cannot furnish another such
case, During the siege the flagstaff
was shot away 122 times and eighty
men lost their lives in replacing it
Nothing was left Of the fort but the
lower bomb.proofs. Tie debris was
in some places twenty-five feet thick
Since the war the Government has
! spent over million dollars there. II
! was under constant fire over 500 days
and was assaulted again and again
and yet it fell into Federal hands only
after Sherman's $ movements made its
evacuation matter Of policy,

Some Gambling Points.

I'm all gambling games," said an old
time sport, 'fthere is percentage in
favor of the house Anybody except
a Oorn fool knows that a man couldn't
afford to equip an establishment, hire
help, pay rent and defray all the hun
dred and one Incidental expenses un-
less he derived a profit that was based
on some fixed principle, and not de-
where the profit comes in, however, is
something that very few people under
stand. Most of them imagine it is de-
rived from slight advantage to the ar
rangements of the game, such as the
zero numbers in roulette or the
splits in FORA but they are very much
mistaken. 1t really depends upon a
principle that applies to all games
alike, and is what might be termed the
percentage of capital. Strange as it
may seem, could take a capital of
$1,000 and begin pitching nickles, in
which the chances are perfectly even,
letting the players guess either way
they wanted to, and / would make a
steady profit day in and day out The
secret is TINS: The average player has
only limited amount of money, and
slight run of bad LUCK wipes him out
He is Obliged to quit, and somebody
else takes his place, while the house
keeps right on throug- good luck and
bad, continually swelling its reserve
with the cash of the broken players.
To simplify the matter, suppose
have 100 pennies and you have one,and
we begin matching. One loss breaks
you, but can stand 100 losses before
having to quit. You may have squirt
of luck at the start, but in the long run
am morally certain to wipe you out
1 That principle of the percentage of
capital is at the bottom of the profits
of every gambling house in the world
from Monaco to Long Branch"

Injustice to Ireland.

lille Sir Thomas Lipton's yacht
Shamrock was lying in Southampton
water, to be sure everything that could
be done for her safety was done, a
close watch was kept by those on
board, and all small boats were warn
ed from coming in contact with Sham
rocks delicate sides. Sir Thomas, who
stayed aboard his steam yacht Erin,
had the larger vessel mcored so as to
afford as much protection to the racer
as feasible, and himself watched over
the cup challenger's safety perhaps
more eagerly than any one else.
One beautiful evening when Sir
Thomas was aboard the Shamrock, a
heavy, knockabout boat, rowed by four
rough watermen, came pounding along
straight for the yacht. The fellows
were playing no close heed to their dl-
reohon, and Sir Thomas, getting anx-
ious, shouted
Il say, my men, look where you're
golng!" The men ceased rowing and
turned scornful glances at the yacht.
'Wot do We call that thing yer
abcard?" bawled out one man.
This is my yacht, Shamrock" cour-
teously replied the owner.
One of the men contemptuously ran
his eye over the craft, and turning to a
pal, he sung out
by eavens, Bill, look at the freak!

be overwhelmingly defeated, If the fig

test The ticket named by Mclean and
his followers at the Highland house Is
q fairly good one and Democrats may
justly support it on its merits, not
wlthstanding the methods by which 1t
was chosen, but the News Journal re-
spectively informs the candidates on
that ticket that unless they muzzle
that little bundle of conceit and malice,
John, r. Mclean, not even the loyal
efforts of The News Journal can save
them fom disastrous defeat.
They will be beaten, and ought to be
