THERE ARE NEW FACES
BEHIND THE TABLES
IN THE SWEETEST 9AMBIING ES-
TABLIsHMENT IN THE CITY
OF WHEELING
SCOTT INSTITUTION CLOSED
ny order of the Poiiee-A New Firm
HAS Taken Hold of the EstsbIi.h-
ment. aud New Men Are DenIing.
Reports ns To the Cause for the
Change.

There has been new deal at the
palatial gambling establishment here
tofore conducted by John Scott. II
was the SWEETEST institution in the
state devoted to the interests of the
fraternity who are fond of wooins the
tickle goddess Fortuna. 1t is known
TO betting men all over the country.
and il has been the home of many
sudden changes from an1uenee TO pow
erty. and vice versa. The place was
closed by order of the police. and now
there are new faces behind the tables.
new dealers at the faro layout, and a
new order of things generally.
[ Scott came to Wheeling from Cum
berland. Md, some years ago. and
lDcated on Water street, where he soon
gst the reputation of conducting a
square" place. After several years
he removed to Market street. and
opeaed up the present establishment.
IL was handsomely fitted mp at a cost
of about $4,000, exclusive of the gam
bling paraphernalia. Since that time
the habitues and patrons OF the insti-
tuition have been some OF the best
known men In the city. possessing
sporting proclivities. The bank rolf
as the capital is known in gambling
parlance. was sufficient to attract some
of the heaviest spectators in this sec
ton of the country. and small for
tunes have frequently been won and
lost in single night.
1t was about a week or ten DAYS ago
that Scott vas ordered by the police
to close. A little later 1t is understood
that another firm took charge of the
establishment, known as Bearley a Co
More than one story is told concern
ing the reason for the closing OF the
place under the Scott management.
That which is given general credence
is to the effect that the proprietor was
very active in campaigning and betting
against Chief Ritz and that this is at
least indirectly responsible for the
present order of things.
Some of Chief Ritz's friends. while
neither affirming or denying this state
ment, take the position that the Chief
cannot be justly criticized for closing
an unlawful institution. conducted by
a man who is unfriendly to him.
Chief Ritz's policy Of regulating the
existing evils is commended upon all
sides by a liberal minded public.
There has not been in the history of
Wheeling a cleaner or more satisfae-
tory administration of the police de-
partment The Chief has not gone 10
either extreme, but has taken the broad
middle ground. and in so doing has
won the commentator OF the people
of the city. Il was not long after he

The reason Postum builds up the
human body to prime condition OF
health is that when coffee Is
left OFF, the drug effects of the poison
disappear and the elements in Postum
unite with albumen of the food to make
gray matter and refill the delicate
