TIGHTENING THE REINS.
Paving Eighth Avenue West Re-
ceives Another Setback

Paving petitions did not receive very
gracious treatment at the hands Of the
streets and walks committee Saturday
afternoon Four petitions were re
ferred back to the petitioners without
avenue petition, the Quincy street petit
ton, and the petitions for the north end
Of Clay and Fillmore streets.
The West Eighth petition was held
to be defective because of the fact that
the executive council is unauthorized by
law to sign such a petition in the name
of the state Without the authority of
the state to pave the block upon which
the governors mansion stands. the pc
tition was defective because of lack of
a majority of property holders. It is
Eighth to get up a new petition, omit
ting the block between Buchanan and
Lincoln, where the governors mansion
is located. When the next legislature
meets the authority for paving this
block can doubtless be secured
The other pavement petitions We're
turned down because of technical de-
fects which the petitioners expect to
remedy by the time of the next council
meeting. The petitions will likely be
again presented at that time.
The streets and walks committee de-
cided to rescind its former action in re-
gard to street intersection paven ent. In
the future, street intersections viii be

ETHICS OF GAMBLING.
Rev. Dwight Hills on Perils of Haste
to Grow Rich.

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 be-
tween the neWsbOy who dips coins and
the man in Wall street who buys stocks
on margins on a chance that they VIII
rise or fall. Both wish to get some
thing for nothing; both are gam
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 tracks thousands of working
girls and men who have families to sup
port, 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 newspap ers
on the street to men dwelling in a pal
ace the gambling spirit seems to have
invaded all Where is this thing going
to end2 III is time we called a halt and
began to consider what things are really
worth while"
Annual services of the Church Ass0-
citation for the Advancement of the In
terests Of Labor We're held last night in
Holy Trinity church. The Rev. DR. J
p Peters, rector of St. MichaeIs Episco-
pal church, preached.

twill make a raid and the gambler who
is arrested don't want his name TO get
into the papers. But there are gamblers
in Wall street who blazOn their names
proudly over their doors and are glad to
tell you Of their winnings or losses.
I'VE have an exhibition OF what harm
one man. with great wealth. can do. No
man has the fight to manipulate such
deal as was executed in Wall street
Each of US owes a duty to our fellow
men. and the man who so far forgeis

CLARK DAZED THEM.
London People Retailing a Story Con-
corning the Montana Senator.

London, May 13.-A good story is told
of Senator Clark, who returns next
month to New York to attend his SON
wedding. It is well known that the
senator prides himself that his new
house at Seventy second street and
Fifth avenue will surpass anything else
in New York. Judging from the number
of pictures he has been buying in Paris
it may challenge the Metropolitan Mus
cum itself as an art gallery.
During the construction the builder
approached the senator to inform him
that he would be obliged to add 100000
to the contract price owing to an adj
vance In the cost of stone.
The senator said: GO ahead
A few weeks later the builder again
spoke to the senator. Il an afraid
there will be another increase soon to
the stone contract" he said. THE peo-
pie down at the quarry babe put in new
machinery and built a railway and are
doing all sorts of things, which, of
course, I will have to pay for
Don't worry" replied the senator.
"I'll take the contract to supply that
stone. I don't propose to let a little
thing like that interfere with the build
ing Of my house So have bought a
quarry. You can have the stone at the
price you Originally contracted for. Now
push ahead. -

Louisville, May 13.-For 10 days Ed
ward Nolin has lain at the city hospital
with his back broken and seven ribs
crushed The surgeons called to exam
inc his injuries when first received gave
him but few hours to live.
In spite Of everything Nolin has never
lost consciousness. and at the end Of 10
days of horrible suffering seems to be
gaining round. The man is a cooper by
trade and was caught under a falling
1900 pound weight Before his injury
he was a splendid athlete, and was al
ways in the pink of condition To the
healthy state Of his blood is perhaps at
tributable the fact that he has lived this
long.

floating particles in the water. The
adult female feeds on the blood of all
animals and on the juices of plants.
The male proboscis is not constructed
for piercing anything with any degree
of resistance, as the skin of animals,
and so its food is confined to the SUCK
ing of liquids and the juices of fruits.
The length of the life of the adult
varies in length In different countries.
In cold countries many adult females
pass the winter in a dormant state,
breeding only during the summer
months. In tropical countries, how
ever. they breed during the entire
year.
These creatures are detrimental not
only to the comfort of a community
but likewise to the health, since they
carry not only the malarfal germ, but
also the yellow fever germ from those
diseases to healthy people. This has
been demonstrated beyond question.

of Agriculture, Washington, describes

to certain species. Enough money is
