GAMBLERS OWN MONTREAL.
Their Profession Is One of the Most
Prosperous In the Canadian
MefrOpoIis.

Just now there is n crusade in prog.
ress against gambling in Montreal, and
the facts which are being brought to
light and published by the local paper
at the head Of the movement are of a
somewhat startling nature. They show
that more varieties of gambling flour.
ish openly in Montreal than in any
other city on the American continent.
Lotteries, policy shops, poolrooms, stud
poker joints, gaming houses equipped
for faro, roulette, and craps, all go mer-
rily along in Montreal, unmolcsted by
the police and little fearful of official
interruption.
The distinctive features of Montreal
gambling are the lotteries and policy
shops. These establishments have
been pretty thoroughly suppressed in
most cities of the United States, but
they flourish with all the eXuberance of
There are at present three large lottery
concerns in this city, to which the peo-
pie last year contributed in money paid
for tickets over S3,00O,O00. There are
four policy shops, having daily draw
ings, which during the same years dis
posed of over 100000 tickets, repre-
senting probably $1,o0o,oOO in money.
Every thing is open in Montreal. No
attempt is made to do business under
cover-there is no necessity for it. The
lotteries pretend to be quite lawful in
stitutions, and even the chief of police
says that they cannot be touched.
The claim of the lotteries to legal
sanction is based on the fact that they
are operated nominally as art associa-
tions. Pictures are awarded week after
week to the successful holders, but
these are never taken away by their
winners, but simply redeemed in money
at uniform rate of one-half their al
legged value. The reason for the pre-
tense of the lotteries to be art asso-
Citations is found in a clause in the
Canadian criminal code, which gives
permission for the holding of drawings
for the distribution of works of art.
The policy shops put forward an
equally laudable purpose as the object
of their eXistence-the promotion of
charity. One of them adds the teaching
of music to its other benevolent works,
and claims to have n musical professor
in its employ.-N. y. Times.

BRIGANDAGE IN CUBA
The Rough REd MOrtifying ExDeri-
ence of a DiEnified American
in Havana.

"Talking of brigandage in Cuba"
said Havana business man on visit
to New Orleans, ''I'll tell you of little
thing that occurred in the summer of
eo2. A gentleman who is now holding
q consular position under the Mckinley
administration, but was then an i'm
porter, came down to the island to see
me about establishing an agency. One
night he was entertained by an Ameri-
can resident, and started for the Ingle-
terra hotel on foot at a very early hour
In the morning. When only a few blocks
from his destination he was held up by
-four native footpads and robbed of
everything he had, including his cloth
ang. They had left him exactly as he
had come into the world, and not dar-
ing to venture into the lighted street
he took refuge in an empty sugar barrel
standing on the corner, hoping to hail
o policeman. None appeared, and the
few passers thought he was practical
Joker when he stuck out his head, and
they went away laughing.
ITO make long story short, he was
obliged TO stay until morning, when he
was rescued by Cuban who happened
TO speak little English. The worst of
II was that the barrel was full of red
ants, and they came near eating the un-.
fortunate gentleman alive before he es-
capped. This story is the plain unvar-,
nished truth, and the victim was so
deeply chagrined and SO afraid of be-
Ing chaffed that he made no effort to
recover his property, although he lost
considerable money and q very fine gold
watch. He is rather portly and very
dignifed, and dare say the memory of
those hours in the barrel with the red
ants is extremely narrowing. Anyhow,
his friends in Havana understand 1t is
never to be referred to In his presence"

INTEREST IN BIG WEDDINGS
Women Are Not Alone In Their Dehire
to Get n Peep mt the Swell So
ciety Events.

The general interest in weddings of
people who are socially conspicuous In
this city is by no means confined to the
women, If one may judge by the num-
Der of men who stood in the street q
week ago looking solemnly at a house
on Fifth avenue where such ceremony
was being performed, and the articles
of the unlimited to get peep at the
rooms or the presents or the brides
dress are many. a thrifty butler in
house where much-heralded wedding
occurred some time ago found u way
to crafty a few of the curious at some
profit to himself. When the family had
retired for the night he cautiously let
into the house several persons who had
previously tipped him good many dol
lars more than such view would seem
to be worth. He knew who those peo-
pie were, so that the only risk he ran
was of detection by the family, and he
was well compensated for this strain
on his nerves. 1t is almost impossible
in church weddings of note to exclude
the unlimited, and in many of them lit
tie attempt is made to do SO. On the
occasion of one such wedding several
years ago cards of admission were re-
CURED at the church, and the more per-
sistent ones of the unlimited but curl
Gus tried various schemes to get in.
They offered bribes to the sexton, the
florist and even the organist to grant
them the privilege of getting into the
church to witness the ceremony, which
was to differ in no respect from other
weddings. Many of the people who
keep close watch of the social news OF
this kind do it rs a matter of business.
As soon as the announcement of a COM
ing wedding is made in the papers the
mail of the bride to be is swelled by cir
culars from dressmakers, caterers, flor
lists and musicians, each anxious to con-
tribute something at fixed price. One
man whose engagement was announced
not long ago in a morning paper re-
ceiyed call from an alert life insur-
ance agent shortly after he reached his
Office the next day. The agent spoke to
him of the responsibilities of married
life and urged him to prepare for them
at once by taking out policy.-N. Y.

The Joy of se1r-Kel1snr..

To lose this joy is one of the greatest
losses that can come to human soul.
Parents frequently make the great
blunder of bringing up their children
so shielded from the sense of respon-
sibility and care that, when they are
matured physically, they are as little
fitted for the great and serious work
of life as flock of butterflies would be.
To do that is to rob and beggar child.
Everyone has right to the joy that
cuaes from an honest pull at his own
load right to the self-respecting
gladness and pride which is the ex-
perience of everyone who bares his
shoulder to his burden and carries it
off like man, with eyes in the air. and
steady step. No man ever carries his
burden that way, no woman ever faces
the burdens of her life in such spirit,
without finding unexpected compensa-
tions.-Housewife.

WANTED TO KILL A
MURDERER'S FRIEND
CHINESE WITH A BIG GUN IN
JAIL.
All Fong, Who Was Shot at by Wong
Hing, the Captured Criminal,
Looks for Trouble.

Wong Hing, the San Jose murderer, who
was captured at Fresno last Sunday, will
be brought to this city by Officer Rey-
nolds to-day. Yesterday All Fong, who
was made a target for the captured man
bullets on September 13 on SpOfford alley
in this city, was arrested by Sergeant
Duke and posse while he was looking for
one of Kings friends with a H-caliber re
Volver, which he concealed under his
coat. His name was entered on the small
book at the Central police station and he
will be held as a witness in the trial of
Wong Hing before any charge is placed
The arrest yesterday was only one of a
series of events which have happened
since a slave girl was spirited from Il
house on Jackson street and taken to
San Jose. Some trouble arose over her
possession, and Lee Ong Poon was mur-
dered and Deputy Sheriff Mackey of San
Jose shot and injured by Wong Hing.
On September 13 the deputy sheriff who
was shot brought two Cinnamon, All
Fong and All Yum. to this city to assist
him in capturing the criminal While tha
two Cinnamon We're passing along Spot
by Hing. VINO fired three shots at All
Fong and again escaped One of the
leaden missiles passed through the trous
ers of All Yum and narrowly missed kill
ing a Chinese laborer in a store opposite.
Hing was taken after a desperate strug-
gle in Fresno on Sunday.
Yesterday afternoon Sergeant Duke dis
covered All Fong passing along Waverley
place, and he noted that the Chinaman's
actions were suspicious. He at once took
him into custody, and when he searched
him found a large 44-caliber revolver on
his person. He had his hand on the
weapon when he was taken, and It was
his intention to shoot one of Kings
friends on sight. The police say that the
trio of Cinnamon implicated in the shoot
ing are all wicked men, and do not think
that the trouble will end with Yesterdays
arrest. The affair has been in the nature
of a highbinder's war and has caused
much commotiOn in the Chinese quarters
of both San Jose and San Francisco
