When the nervous system is SO
run down and worn out that sleep

forces are rapidly consumed, and
both physical and mental faculties
soon lose all power of recuperation.

1T WAS CRAP SHOOTING.


Judge Afford, of the Criminal Court, spent
the most of yesterday trying TO find out
whether the members of the Lincoln Club
situated on Indiana avenue. were shooting
craps on a Sunday night in January last
or we're shaking dice for cigars. The Lin
coin Club is a colored organization, which
has rooms over 90 Indiana avenue. On
the night i'm question Sergeant Corrigan
and two patromen concluded TO pay the
club visit. and when they entered found
twelve young colored men clustered about
a billiard table. At the head of the table
sat Henry Seaton. manager of the club
Mr. Seaton had before him a box. which
was afterward found TO contain $3.50. The
manager had what Is called dice rake
i'm his hand. This Is an implement used to
rake the dice to any part of the table. The
police thought they saw sufficient evidence
of gambling and arrested every member of
about. Twenty-Five men were arraigned in
police court and Seaton. with twelve others,
were fined for gambling. They appealed the
case to the Criminal Court. and yesterday
Judge Afford heard the evidence Although
several witnesses testified that the men in
the Lincoln Club that night We're only
throwing dice for cigars. Judge Afford held
that the evidence of crap shooting" was
too strong. and sustained the decision of
the lower court. except in the case of VIII
liam Ingram. II was claimed that this
young man was in the reading room the
night OF the raid and. through curiosity,
followed the police into the billiard room.
Afford took Ingram's case under advise

CITY OFFICIALS NEGLIGENT.
Did Not Protest to Governor Against
Strong Bill.

City Engineer Jeup was asked yesterday
concerning the bill recently passed by the
General Assembly limiting the amount of
the street Improvement assessments 10 -
per cent. of the assessed value of the abut-
ting property. He said that il was his
opinion that the law was not only poor
one, but would result in paralyzing the
systematic Improvement of streets running
east and west. In explanation ne said that
where corner lot fronted on such a street
as Illinois street. and extended back on a
cross street for $50 feet, the assessment for
an improved street would nearly always
exceed % per cent. Of the assessed value
Another wise provision. I'm his opinion, would
have been TO specify that wher8 the assess
ments went above . per cent. OF the
assessed value, the overcharge should be
paid out Of the general funds of the city
In spite of the unfavorable remarks of
the city authorities, however. the fact de-
veloped last night that during the entire
time the bill was in the hands OF the
Governor not a single protest was filed
with him against the bill The city off,
Gals had ample time to protest, but did
not do so.
