OFFICERS RAID
 OLIVETTE CLUB Twenty-two Men Arrested on Charge of Gaming,

The police made a raid on the olivette Club at Twentieth street and Third aven- ue last night and placed twenty-two men under arrest on a charge of gaming. Several charges of vagrancy were also preferred.
 When the police first surrounded the club room, which is located over the Stag sa loon, a large crowd gathered and watched the proceedings with interest.
 The club rooms are located on the second ficor and an approach to the main door was made through a stairway leading from the rear of the saloon. When the officers first knocked on the door and demanded admit tance their request was refused until g. warrant had been produced. The police then resorted to a unique plan. They ascertained the name of one of the men on the inside of the room and had warrant sworn out for him on charge of vagrancy. They then de- manded admittance on this warrant. Word was sent from the inside that the man would be produced. This did not satisfy the officers, and they began hammering on the heavy door with an ak.
 The door finally gave way and the po- licemen, headed by Captain Weir, entered the rooms. Sixteen men were standing about the room when the officers entered and all were immediately placed under ar rest They were allowed to make bond in the sum of s100.
 door leading into an adjoining room was found locked and the officers proceed. ed to open it. On the inside of the second room another party of men were found and these were put through a similar process.
 Several tables used for gaming purposes were found, but no other gambling devices were captured.
 By this time an immense crowd had con- gregated on the street below and curiousls awaited the appearance of the prisoners The spectators were disappointed how ever as the men all made bond and were allowed to leave the rooms one at a time
 The officers taking part in the raid were Captain Weir, Officers Nix, Culpepper, Whaiey. Murphy, Gray, Burke, Gloer and Iangston.

 'The young will court" "A child born on this day will have a quick and tormenting temper yet will be clever and industrious and will rise in life; if a female. rather fortunate in wedlock.' Astrologer Raphaers prophecies for Mon day, October 15, 1900:

"A child born this day will be very un- l lucky, whether in employ or in business for 1 itself; it will be careless and fond of com pany."
 Over the sea in day that passed long ago there came to ] sojourner in far coun- try a sealed and stamped envelope not so broad or so long as two thumbs of mans hand. He who received it was astonished
 that it should have come through the mails | in safety over four thousand miles; and he hesitated musingly before opening 1t. That
 envelope contained a little white visiting card bearing an unfamiliar name: and the mans stupidity made it mysterious for some fifteen seconds, and then he realized that a happy little household in his own country had been made happier And that
 tiny bit of pasteboard bridged the broad Atlantic more quickly than Puck put the

lie claimed that the establishment OF
such an Office had become a necessity
for the welfare of the state ana refer
red 10 the great results attained in 9TH
er states where such an officer existed
and had power TO exercise his func-
tions. Mr. richardson made strong
plea i'm behalf of the bill, and he then
introduced Hon. Charles w Whltcomb,
slate fire marshal OF Massachusetts.
Mr.. Whitcomb, who is considered
quite an authority on the state fire
marshars law, said that the establish
ment OF the Office OF state fire marshal
must necessarily save thousands and
thousands of dollars TO the insurance
companies and sand that either in
suranCe companies must retire from the
field or we must have an official inves-
ugatlon OF every fire that occurs in
this country. In Massachusetts, he said,
another important provision Of .he
state fire marshal law and one which
has already resulted In eliminating a
considerable amount of the physical. n
not of the moral, fire hazard )f the
state. is the authority given to the state
fire marshal TO cause the removal of
dangerous and linhammable conditions
