A Queer Gambling Game.

They have a new form Of racing in New
York, and it is likely to take the prize II
there Is ever an exhibition of unique
amusements. A man who does business
on the top floor of building on the East
Side makes 1t his profession to race cock
reaches. There are tin troughs for race
courses and large croton bugs are the
racers They are started at one end and
crawl to the other. and the one arriving
first brings joy to his hackers. The han
dicapping is done by sprinkling fine sand
in the trough.
This proves several things. One is that
betting is not necessarily a matter of ex-
pensive steeds. for there Is nothing much
less expensive than a roach. Another is
that the betting man does not always de-
mand beauty or breeding in the creatures
on whom he risks his money, for a croton
bug is one Of the ugliest things in the
whole of creation, and his pedigree is past
finding out. A third truth which may bs
deduced from this tale is that when man
wishes to bet he will bet, whether there
is a horse. a card, or q roulette table on
earth or not. Some wise and pious gen.
tlemen who believe that cards are inven-
tions of the evil one do their gambling in
real estate and other things. and bring
misery to their fellow-men thereby. The

Protection Against TOrnadOes.

The recent terrible disasters from tor
nadoes in the West have aroused scien-
lists to investigate anew the cause OF these
storms, and try to devise some means OF
protection from their ravages. 1t is gen.
orally agreed that the construction of tor
nado-proof buildings is impossible unless
some remarkable discovery Of new building
materials should be made in the future.
The wind and the sea are two elements
against which mans wit and strength are.
and always will be. more or less unavail-
ing. The ocean storm wrecks the modern
liner, on occasion, as completely as the
fisherman's catboat: and tie tornado RACES
to the ground the modern business block
as surely as the settlers one-rOom cabin.
Some one has unearthed from the ar
chives of European science a story Of a
machine invented by Divisch. a Bohemian
priest, which drew the electricity from the
clouds, and prevented thunderstorms in
the region where the inventor lived. The
story is told by Euler. Swiss mathema-
tician, one OF the most eminent of Euro
pean scientists in the eighteenth century.
The machine appears to have been a fore
runner of Franklin's lightning rod.
Though no lightning rod ever contrived
would be Of much use in warding off such
storm as that which wrecked New Rich
mond and Herman. there is no doubt that
these winds are created by electrical dis
turbances, and that their coming might be
predicted if proper scientific appliances
were used. This plan would prevent to a
very great extent the fearful loss Of life
now caused by tornado. The killing Of
hundreds of human beings at New Rich
mond was due largely to the fact that the
people from the surrounding country had
come into town to see a circus. and had
gathered in the main streets of the busi-
ness section to do their shopping. Scores
were thus caught and pinned down in the
wreckage of single building. without a
moments warning Of their impending fate.
This could have been prevented had there
been any way of discerning the approach
Of the tornado and notifying the crowd of
the danger of remaining among tall build
ings and in narrow streets.
The ld-fashioned cyclone-cellar was not
a bad device; in fact. 1t meant practical
safety wherever 1t was used. II refugees of
this sort could be provided in regions
where terrific windstorms are common,
and II, in addition, warning could be given
the people of the approach Of a tornado
or cyclone, the people might be beggared
and homeless, but they would be saved
alive

Dunn Dunn Fraternity.


Who could read Of the brotherly har-
mony which has marked the united efforts
of American and British delegates at the
Peace Conference, to defend and promote
the use of the Dunn Dunn bullet, without q
sense of thankfulness that the great Anglo
Saxon race is as one on this serious hui
manitarian question?
News from The Hague includes the edi-
flying information that the Dunn Dunn Is
denounced as inhuman by the military rep
resentatives of all the powers. those
Of the United States and England
alone excepted. They. We are told,
are cheerfully willing to forego
the use of this mushrooming. splinter
ing. lacerating,. hellish projectile in war
with civilized forces, but in connection
with hostilities conducted against savages
or semi-civilized opponents the missionary
advantages of the Dunn Dunn are too great
to lose.
The strong argument in favor OF the
Anglo-American position is that natives"
of all colors and descriptions are little
likely to find the means Of securing Dunn
Dums themselves. and hence their civil
lied assailants would not run much risk
Of retaliation in kind There is some dan
ger that this theory might not always
work in practice. For example, take the
case of our interesting Malay subjects in
the Philippines! They are barbarians. no
doubt, and eminently proper Dunn DUN
targets, but, unfortunately, they are pos
sessed of initiative ability in a remarka-
Bile degree. At present they conduct sew
eral fiourishing factories for the manu-
facture of smokeless powder and ammu-
milton for Mauser rifles. The Dunn Dunn
is not beyond their capacity, and, II they
were treated to even few lessons IN
its practical effects, there is little question
that they would very quickly be found
supplied with the article.
There is an ethical side to the question.
but it would be inappropriate and might
be considered puritanical to say anything
on that score during the life of our A'ge-
rian war administration. One Of the
dozen great men who own and run this
country remarked only the other day
What do care about your ethics?
know nothing about them. This is solely
question OF business!" Applying the
Havemeyer principle to the Dunn Dunn, and
treating it as merely a matter OF business.
we think our own and the British dele
gates to the Peace Conference are clearly
in the wrong. Barbarous engines of war
should be one and all prohibited. except
in cases where there is no possibility of
their being resorted to by natives and
turned upon their Christian and peace
seeking tormenters

FARMERS WANTED IN HAWAII.
Arrival of n Planters' Agent to Se-
cure American Immigrants.

Tacoma, June 23.-Col. Albert Whyte
has arrived from Hilo. Hawaiian Islands,
to secure 10000 white farmers who desire
to better their condition by moving to a
tropical climate. He brings credentials
from Hawaiian planters who authorize him
to act in their behalf in securing these
immigrants.
These planters are just now undertaking
the development of the wonderful re-
sources of the islands. and prefer that its
new plantations shall be worked by white
men rather than Japanese and Portuguese
laborers. 1t is probable that their action
is partially Influenced by the fact that the
United States immigration laws will soon
be applied to Hawaii. after which impor-
tation Of Asiatic coolies will largely be
stopped. While American workmen will
demand more pay than Asiatics, it is ap-
preciated that their intelligence and in
genuity will enable them to accomplish
far greater results.
Colonel Parker, the Prime Minister of
Hawaii under the monarchy; the Billing
hams, the Horners. and the other large
planters have agreed to set aside portions
Of their big estates In Hawaii to enable
American farmers to secure land of their
own If they will go there. Others, who
prefer it, will be allowed to work on plan
them. receiving a portion of the yearly
profits as their compensation. Colonel
Whyte Is a director Of q company recent
ly formed to build a railroad around the
island Of Hawaii, with headquarters at
Hilo. The land now to be opened will be
tributary to this railroad.

DEFENDS HER TITLE TO OFFICE.
Claims of n Michigan Woman Elect
ed Prosecuting Attorney.


Lansing, Mich. June 23.-Mrs. Merrie
B. Abbott, who was elected last November
prosecuting attorney Of Ogemaw county,
was before the supreme court yesterday
defending her title to Office, which was at
tackled by Attorney General Oren. Mrs.
Abbott is the first woman chozen to such
al elective Office in Michigan and the con-
iention of the State is that the common
law doctrine of custom and usuage renders
her ineligible. II is eontended that wo
men have no rights in this State. so fer
as officeholding is concerned. inasmuch as
thre is no express provision of the stat
utes giving them that right. and further
more that none but electors can hold office.
Mrs. Abbott cited instances where wo-
raen have held various offices in Michigan
and referred to one case where the con-
viction of murderer had been sustained.
although the case was prosecuted by wO-
man appointed for the purpose
She insisted that women are eligible un-
less deprived of the right by express pro-
vision of the Constitution and that with
reference to the Office of prosecuting at
torney the Constitution is silent as TO
qualifications and void Of restrictions.
Mrs. Abbott advanced the theory that the
Constitution should not be interpreted as
it was years ago but that such interpre-
tation should be adjusted to the changed
conditions owing to social and intellectual
advancement.

Hotel Thieves.

One Of the queerest phenomena In the
history of kleptomania is the propensity
of guests to remove the furniture, spoons,
napkins, soap, towels, dishes, and other
property of hotels and public buildings.
But the climax of this sort of thing has
been lately reached at the Palmer House,
in Chicago. An adroit thief disappeared
with hall and stair carpets belonging to
that establishment.
How he did 1t may seem mystery. 1t
would appear to be a remarkably dim
cult thing to steal carpets from a place
as public as a Chicago hotel. It would
seem almost more difficult than to purloia
the proverbial redhot stove. But the won
der is lessened when it is explained that
were standing in two large rolls In the
hall near the thiefs room. He registered,
had his two trunks taken to his room,
and then had them sent away early the
next morning-with the carpets in them.
At last accounts trunks and thief had van
as the police knew.
There is motive for this sort Of thing,
Of course. Carpets are marketable ar
ticles. and the thief could sell them. Per-
haps he had Just set up housekeeping. and
wanted to carpet his house with good
quality Of floor covering. But In the case
of the articles which well-dressed and ap-
parently respectable people steal from
public places there would seem to be no
motive except the delight of secreting
something not ones own. A New Orleans

FIERCE FIRE AT ST. M1cHAEL's.
Heroic Efforts COnfine the Flames to
Planning Mill.


Planning Mill.
St Michael's. Nd. June ga serious
fire occurred on Navy Point, St. Michaels,
yesterday afternoon. threatening the de-
struction Of every residence on the point
The blaze originated in the large planning
mill of NJ. R. Richards by spark from
the engine. Mr.. Richards was at work
inside the factory when the FIRE was dis
covered by men on a boat in the harbor.
A strong wind famed the flames into a
confiagration. and before the alarm could
be sounded in St. Michael's the whole fac
tory was ablaze- Large quantities Of in
hammable materials surrounded the plant
and the flames soon spread TO the lumber
heaps and was making headway toward the
residence of Mr.. Richards, when the VOL
unteer fire department of ST. Michaels
arrived.
The presence of the State police steamer
Governor Thomas In the harbor was the
one agency that prevented the destruction
OF every dwelling on the point. The
Thomas was at Kirby's shipyards, and
when the fire broke out she steamed over
to Wright's wharf, and her hose was
turned on the blaze. The crew of the
Governor Thomas worked manfully to
save the mill, but the hose was defective
and sufficient water could not be utilized.
The efforts OF the crew of the steamer
and the firemen on land were then directed
toward saving the residence of Mr.. Rich
ards and B. ". Wright. adjoining the mill
The houses were on fire several times, and
only by constant play Of water were they
saved.
Nearly the whole town worked to save
the property, which consists largely of
private residences and summer boarding
houses. The planning mill, together with
its contents. is total loss. Mr.. Richards
had only last week enlarged his plant by
placing a large engine and additional
planes in the factory. There was no in
surance either on the mill and contents or
on about 10000 feet of lumber destroyed
Mr.. Richards estimates his loss at between
four and five thousand dollars.

Strength and Weakness of the ILL.,

Chicago, June 23@The friends Of Presi-
dent John w. Gates. Of the American Steel
and Wire Company. are really booming
him for United States Senator. to succeed
Shelby M. Cullom. whose term will expire
on March 4, 1901, early as 1t is to spring
a candidate on the public. Mr.. Gates has
the support of the Tanner faction Of the
Republicans, and of Congressman Lorimer
and DR.. Jameson, of the State central
committee. Governor Tanner owes much to
the influence Of Gates and his friends. who
provided the money and did hard work for
him when he ran for governor.
Before leaving fof New York. Mr.. Gates
said: II am gratined that my friends feel
am not announcing my candidacy, it Is
pleasing, or should be, to any man. to have
favorable mention for such an honorable
position. But AZ a matter Of fact, it Is a
little early just at present to talk about
the matter. and it is best to wait and see
what the people want At present, l am
attending very closely to the business of
the American Steel and Wire Company,
and thinking little about politics"
1t will not be easy to elect Mr.. Gates
to the Senate. as the Democrats will raise
the cry Of opposition to trusts. and Gates
company is looked upon by those who
think all consultations are trusts as one of
the largest. Some Of the Republicans think
that the party cannot afford to make
fight for the election Of such a man. no
matter how good a busines man he may be
considered by his intimates.
Mr.. Gates is only forty-four years old.
and Is a self made man in the strictest
sense. Born on a farm near the little
town OF Tunner Junction, thirty miles
west OF Chicago. he spent his boyhood
working for his father and hauling loads
OF produce to Chicago. He was at one
time brakeman on a railroad At the
age Of twenty-One he was member of the
board OF trade, doing a small commission
business. From Chicago he went to ST.
Louis and engaged in the wire business.
He worked day and night to get a start.
He made and painted the wire at night.
and sold it daytimes. He also travelled
throughout the West and Southwest and
introduced wire as fencing for the ranches,
and had the reputation OF being able to
sell more wire than any other man in the
business. At San Antonio. twenty years
ago. he built a wire fence on the plaza in
front Of the hotel to show cattlemen its
utility. Within a few years he was max
ing 100000 a year. Then he branched
out invested his money in extensive
plants. and finally became the head of the
Consolidated Wire and Nail Company.
which formed the nucleus for the Ameri-
can Steel and Wire Company. Several
years ago found him president of the Illi-
nois Steel Company. with a salary of $780,
600 year. When he left the Illinois Steel
Company early this year he formed the
American Steel and Wire Company.
