Hox Ltthuanian. Play Dice.

A peculiar dice game is indulge5 in by the gambling element of Lithu- aIiians in Baltimore. Gathering about the dice tables in the saloons kept by their fellow countrymen, they quickly lose all interest in every thing outside of that which is trans bring upon the cloth before them. As they sit or stand about the tables the careworn features of old men contrast strongly with the ruddy faces of the youths. The eagerness with which the players seek the num- bers upon the falling pieces is wolf ish in all it's intensity. Comparative ly small sums are placed upon the game, and side bets run from five cents to dollar. Although resem- bling in the manner in which it is op- erated the high dice game, as played by the IAnglo-Saxon races, the dice of the Lithuanians, instead of num- boring from one to six, gun from one to ten, the numbering of the six sides being l, 2, 3, 4, 8, 10. The game is played with four pieces, and a possible 40 is the point striven for instead of 24, which is high mark in the similar American gane.-Balti- more Sun.

King Edwards Perquisites.

A king has many privileges, but the oldest of all King Edwards is surely she right he has by statute to the head of every whale caught on the coasts of his Kingdom. The tail is to go to Queen Alexandra, the object of the di- vision being to guarantee that the queens wardrobe shall be furnished with whalebonei King. Edward is not likely to receive many whales, how ever long he may reign, but there are many perquisites of the crown which are not so rare as whales in England The king is entitled, for instance, to every sturgeon brought to land in the United Kingdom; one of them, caught in the Thames, was on the table at Queen Victoria's wedding banquet. The king should receive, too, every year from divers persons, a. tab1ecloth worth three shillings, two white doves, two white hares, catapult, 8 pound of cuminseed, horse and halter, pair of scarlet hose, a currycomb, a pair of tongs, crossbar, a coat of gray, 8 nightcap, a falcon, two knives, a lance worth two shillings and sil- yer needle from his tailor.-St. James Gazette.

The affair. was q, Surprise oil' the alderman, but his girls were aware of what was going an and made ample provision to entertain the party When Mir Mahaney learned what was up ha cnme forward and Joined in the fes- tiyities with an abandon that would do justice to the best efforts of a school boy. He welcomed the guests in an appropriate manner, and concluded by offering all the freedom of the hollse, telling the young men to make them selves at home for a few hours, but warning them not to be thinking ofl taking any of his family away without having a talk with him about it. The exercises included an address by Ats torney Bauby and a song by Represen~ |tative Guilfoile. A feature of fl,e evening was the quartet singing by D- ]. Lahey, M. J. Ryan, T. F- Maher and

CHICAGO A CLEAN CITY.

New York, April 15.-Carter B. Har- rison, Mayor of Chicago. is now in this city, obtaining a much needed rest. He said in an interview last night:
 T think New York is the cleanest city-in the world. New York has what Chicago has not New York has an unlimited supply of money for the use of the street cleaning department. l understand that $3,500,000 is devoted to the work. Chicago has only $1, ,O0O,- O0O.
 T went to Boston, and was disap- pointed in that city. The streets there are not clean. The great trouble with Chicago in the way of uncleanlinesS is that We have many unpayed streets. In Boston they have too much macad- am pavement, and they do not make a clean pavement. The main thing that I went to Boston to do was to see the subway. .
 .-Chicag0's municipal election was very satisfactory, from my standpoint. The election was very largely decided on the question of street car fran chfses.
 There is no gambling in Chicago today. There are only a few of the old timers who are hoping that some thing may develop.
 Never since '73 has Chicago been a less open town than it Is to-day. The entrance of our young men of educa- 1iOn and decent ambition into the re- cent municipal election is as an eIeva- tion-of our city politics. We started in Chicago with very tough council. 1t remained so up to four years ago. Gradually it improved until to-day we have a council of reputable men who will serve the city and not the corpor- atI0ns''

CONSOLIDATION MATTERS.
Same Who Were Opposed to It Twt
 Weeks Ago are Now For 1t.

Waterbury people are wondering what caused George A. Driggs to change his mind on the question of consolidation. Two weeks ago he in- formed Selectman Doran that he would give $1,O00 to see the measure defeated and notwithstanding this an attorney represented his company as favoring it at the hearing in Hartford last week. The concensus of opinion in Waterbury regarding the change of front on the part of Mr Driggs is that he was induced to push the scheme on the promise that he will profit hand somely on the proposed bridge ques- ton in the vicinity of his shop which Is said to be an assured thing whether Waterbury wants 1t or not. Probably MT Driggs was whipped into line in the same manner that other property own CTS on the outskirts were brought in, many of whom had planned to oppose it but were deterred from so doing by the threat that if they open their mouths in opposition to consolidation they would never receive an electric light or anything else from the repub- lican party. The $1, LOGO appropriated for lights. in the outside district was held as club over their heads and rather than run the risk of incurring the displeasure of the dominant party in Waterbury they concluded to remain inactive much as they would have liked to come out and oppose the meas ure. But MT Driggs is not this kind of man. He is not given to chasing shadows so that it is safe to state that when he went over from the anti-con- solidationists to the other side he did so after he had been assured beyond the possibility of doubt that he would receive other considerations in the way of public improvements that would more than compensate him for what he supposed he would lose by the pas sage of the act. After all, the thing is. turning out to be selfish matter and every man is looking at it from his own standpoint and let the public go-- we'll never mind where. It does not make any difference whether consoli- dation is desirable or not, the public should decide and those who oppose such course cannot say that they are showing much respect for the will of the people.
