Was the Giant of the Corps.

William Kehrer, the marine who died from yellow fever at Havana the other day, vas one of the tallest and strongest men in the corps, being more than feet tall and weighing 180 pounds. He was 24 years old, and his home was in Brooklyn He was trans ferred from the Columbia to the Reso- lute at League Island, going to Ha- vana Dec. 14.
 Kehrer was stationed with a corps of forty men on the Machina wharf. Up to June II he was in the best of health. His case was not thought to be yellow fever until June 14, for the symptoms were not alarming. The barracks had been thoroughly fumi- gated and precautions taken against the spread of the fever.
 Kehrer's death was the first among the marines and the second yellow fever death among American soldiers. The other was Patrick Twohig of the Second Engineers, who died in Mari- anao in January.

ONE DRINK TO EACH.
AND THIS BARKEEPER ALLOWS
 NO SMOKING.
Queer Little Inn in London Which At tracts Custom by It's Unusual ReguIa
 tions-How Hypocrites Can Make Success by Utilizing Novelty. 9

Jnst eff busy Bishopgate, London, in small and somewhat "slummy' street, there stands public house re- markable for the fact that in it one is allowed to have only one drink-and no smoke The proprietor of this quaint hostelry, obviously worthy citizen, seeing that he himself invented so to speak, this original system of do- ing business, has been in the occupa- tion of the house some twenty odd years. Thither go all sorts and condi- tions of men, from the silk-hatted city man to the railway porter, warehouse man, or mere messenger. All have just their one drink, and go out. Nor is 1t possible to trick the proprietor by or dering, say, bottle and calling it "one drink" No; his one drink means a certain measure of beer, wine, or spir- it's, and that moderate one. On the wall of the one bar, wherein all and sundry are served alike, hang the printed rules of the establishment in frame They set forth how that the proprietor, deeming that he may con- duct his business as he thinks best, and having at heart the cause of temper ance, begs to call attention, etc. Then follow in numbered order the several rules. Before a customer can have a second drink he must go away and stop away for at least thirty or forty minutes. One result of the strictly en- forced rule against smoking is that the atmosphere of the bar is wonder fully clear and fresh. Of course, no person is served should he appear to be ever so slightly under the influence of alcohol. The result is perfect oruer and subdued quiet. The hours of houses in the trade. Eleven o'clock sharp sees the house shut on five nights of the week. On Saturdays the hour is 12 and on Sundays, 10. To this house the chief rabbi grants his special per nit every Pentecost to sell kosher" rum to those Of the Jewish community of the neighborhood. Of course, over and above the regular customers. many people are attracted to this inn out of pure curiosity. The sightseeing and novelty hunting American finds it out In his rambles. Should the curiosity monger, however, try to coax the men servers behind the bar into breach of their stern laws he is courteously re- fused. They are never caught mapping, try them ever so often. The list of carefully compiled rules concludes with an intimation that such customers as do not care to conform thereto are 're- spectfully requested to transfer their custom to some other establishment"

The above looks like an unjust discrimination.
 The 6ffense in each case and the penalty was the same Then, why should pr. Rashbaum, citizen and doctor, be fined more for the same offense than Billy Burdell. who iN reported to he professional gambler?
 Why was 1t that the honorable prosecuting attorney charged the citizen who happened not to be a gambler by profession $2a anu re- mitted his fee of $25 in the gamblers case.
 pr. Rasehbaum had to pay $44.25, while W J Burdell paid $l6.25 for the same offense-a discrimination of $2S. .00 in favor of the gambler. Is it a fact that man who practices just what the law condemns is up- held in the practice of it by the de- tenders of the law?
 Is there a secret understanding between our prosecuting attorney and the gamblers? If so, we would like to know 1t. For the benefit of the public and to substantiate what we have stated in this article as to apparent discrimination in office, we publish what the Statutes of Ark ansas says the officers of the law shall do. The following is from Sandels & Hills Digest. Section 1913:
 Every person who shall set up. keep or exhibit any gaming table or gambling device, commonly called A. B. C., E. O., roulette. rough ct noir, or any faro bank or any other gaming table or gambling device or bank of the like or similar kind or of any other description, although not herein named, be the name and de nomination what it may, adopted devised or designed for the purpose of playing any game of chance, or at which any money or property pay be won or lost, shall be deemed guilty of d misdemeanor and on con- viction thereof shall be fined in any sum not less than $100 and may be imprisoned not less than 30 days nor more than one year"
 The above record seems to call for an official explanation of apparent discriminations in the enforcement of the law. We pause for reply.

DISCRIMINATION.
The Record in the Raschbaum-Bur-

It will be remembered that Dr. l.. B. Raschbaum and Will Billy) Bur- dell, the dealer at Levy 'sclub rooms, were recently arrested for gaming. Every one is conyersant with the time, place and particulars of the affair, but there is a closing scene to all dramas, and just before the cur tain got far enough down on this incident, our reporter dropped on to q few nice things that happened at the trial of Burdell, citizen and gam bier, and Dr. Raschbanm, citizen and doctor. which we believe will prove interesting to all lovers of fair play.
 We give the proceedings from the official docket of Judge Garrett. On page 96 of the criminal docket in his court we find:
