ALL GAM bLERS
SEORT CUT TO RICHES DEMORAL-
IZING THE NATION.
IN ALL GRADES OF SOCIETY
Wall Street Magnates, Newsboys Who
Flip Pennies, and Horse Race Bet
tors Are All in the Same Glass
It Is Time to Make a Radical
Change, Says DR.. Hills.
(By Associated Press.)

New York, May 13.-"The ethics of
gambling and the perils of making haste
to be rich," was the subject of Rev.
Newell Dwight Hills sermon last night
at Plymouth church, Brooklyn.
Dr. Hills said in part:
"The evils of drink are familiar to
you. There are other evils. But the
greatest peril is the insane spirit of
gambling which seems to have taken
hold of the people, irrespective of social
standing or religious belief. The insane
desire to get rich quickly is at the bot
tom of it all. There is no difference
between the newsboy who flips coins and
the man in Wall street who buys stocks
on margins on a chance that they will
rise or fall. Both wish to get something
for nothing; both are gamblers.
Demoralized Horse Racing.
1.-THE incessant gambling on all sports
has wrought intellectual decentralization
to the country. Horse racing is one Of
the noblest of sports, but it has been
degraded and bestialized by gambling.
Every Saturday afternoon you see at
the race track thousands of working
girls, and men who have families to
support, crazy with the intoxication of
gambling. AS each race is run they
stand up, a yelling. cursing, purple
faced, brutalized gang.
From the tiny lad selling newspapers
on the street to men dwelling in pal
ace, the gambling spirit seems to have
invaded ALL Where is this thing going

began to consider what things are really

Beaneaters Take Up Whist.

At last the reformers in and around
Boston have tackled an issue that is in
every way worthy of their steel" 1t is
the degraded and degrading game of
whist, which is apparently making hor-
rlble nroads upon the profound morality
and polysyllabic virtues of the Boston
youths, giving them "a terrible distanse
for transcendantalism and other brands
of philosophy. Mayors and other leaders
of thought are deeply stirred and bean
fed intellect is rallying for remorse-
less crusade against the new evil.

went out of business this morning in
pursuance to instructions from the
county attorney. The sweep was a clean

lewd pictures being allowed to remain

There are half a dozen places in the
city that were reaping harvest of
wealth from their machines, but they
will hereafter be compelled to derive
their revenue from some other source.
With them selling wet goods was only
a side issue. In West Park street one
house had half dozen of the machines

HOW BOXERS FIGHT.
Religious Faith Keeps Them in
Line While Life Lasts.

New York, July s.-Captain Bowman
H AcCaIa, commanding the cruiser
Newark, which has just returned from
the far east, in speaking Of the fighting
which Admiral Seymour's column en-
countered last summer in trying to re-
heve the besieged legation at Pekin,
said.
AT first we had only the boxers to
contend with Later we had the Chi
nese regulars. They were sp1endidly
armed-au that a good soldier could
wish for They had the best Of Maus-
ers. the finest of Mannlichers and good
Krupp guns. Nobody could ask for bet
ter than that
1T was almost pathetic to see how
the boxers fought Their religious en-
thusiasm and faith in certain things
were extraordinary. They believed that
by waving their banners and spears in
a certain way and making peculiar mo-
tions with their hands the bullets from
our guns could not harm them
Nothing could shake their faith in
this kind of defense. They would not
run away saw a parcel of rs of them
stand UP and be shot down to the last
man All through the fight they kept
bowling and making their strange mo
tons Even when the last of the 25
had been shot to his knees, he kept
salaaming to the last could not IN
derstand it.
1t was different with the Chinese reg
ulars. They knew what bullets could
do They are not very good marksmen.
Ihey would begin to shoot when they
were great distance away. but there
We're so many of them that it kept one
rather busy trying co dodge the bull
let's
They displayed more order under fire
than 1 expected. but that is due to the
German methods employed in their
training 1 saw one body of them walk
on very calmly and in splendid order
under a hot fire. But as soon as they
are threatened from the rear, they give
way in bad style. They seem to be very
sensitive to the danger of being cut of.
That is a Chinese soldiers weak point"
Speaking Of the Japanese, Captain
McCalIa said.
THE efficiency or their army is some
thing to marvel at Think Of IL, when
the allies got to Pel1in the Japanese had
an electric searchlight and a storage
battery which proved of the greatest
service in storming the wall. They are

REMINISCENT.

We remember when J. Sterling Nor
ton and Dr. Miller were the Democratic
party of Nebraska. One wrote De-
mocracy upon the tripod and the other
preached democracy at the hustings.
When the state was hopelessly repub-
lican, J. Sterling Morton accepted the
nominations for Congress and Governor
with alacrity. He knew he was leading
forlorn hope, but he smilingly faced
the music and Justify spouted for "free
trade and sailors rights"
Recognized.
His ability and faithtulness were
recognized and rewarded with cabinet
position, which he filled with credit to
himself and the entire nation. But the
new democracy-the fusion spoils hunt
ere, "who would rather be president
than be right" have no place in their
smoky wigwams for Miller and Morton.

TONS.
Ex-Secretary J. Sterling Morton, who
holds d.fashioned views regarding the
functions of government, protests
strongly in his paper, the Conservative,
against the activity of the federal gov.
ernment in the show, or exposi ton,
business. AS "a Mrs. farley, with wax
works on exhibition" the government
has become well-nigh continuous per-
former, for the expositions multiply,
the local demand for the presence of
Mrs. farley is insistent, and congress

tutes nearly the whole show. More
models of war ships are here displayed
than have been seen together before
outside of Washington. More than
one-half the new navy is thus repre-
sented, and in duplicate nearly all. The
display Of weapons, both army and
navy, is profuse and extends out into
the surrounding yard where the heavier
ordnance, mounted around sample Sec
tions of Notifications and on carriages
in the open field, entertain the people.
Mrs. farley has here provided an extra
display, for, passing by the traditional
military figures setting forth changes in
uniforms by periods Of time, the crowd
is able to turn from sight of the new
navy with true models of it's 13-inch
and smaller guns, to scenic represen-
tation of the deck of a man of war
where, in most impressive grandeur,
stands the admiral Of the navy, sur
rounded by rear-admirals, captains,
commanders, lieutenants, ensigns, gun
ners, etc., each in his proper uniform.
The pomp and glory of war is GER
tainly set forth most attractively and
abundantly, and war also as chief
function and activity of government.
The military spirit of the nation will
suffer nothing by all this. That the
government is true to the life of things
in making war greater feature than
ever of it's later exposition displays will
have to be admitted. 1t is we'll that
the people should know what their gov
ernment is and what it is doing; but
the reasonableness of expending large
sums from the public treasury to keep
in pretty constant motion among the
people, in response to local boom de-
mands, a wax and wood embodiment Of
informing facts about the government,
is decidedly open to question.-Spring
